TRUSTS

There is no word in more frequent use
at tue present time than the one which
heads this column. On every corner o.
the streets in the cities We hear it. Il
every country grocery It reaches ON
ears when we enter. and until the e.cc
ton puts a stop for tlme to political
discussions, this word coupcd with pro
lection, will be rolled aud bani.cd about
by the politician The Democratic pol
itici.n, great as well as small, are labor
ously striving to convince the people
that if protection was removed from
many articles manufactured in this couu-
Try, and our markets were opened to
foreign competition, that then
aad not till then, would the
rapacious wolves in human shape who
prey upon the necessities of their fellow
man be forced to break up their unholy
and damnablc combinations known
as trusts. With the plausi-
bility characteristic Of the polili-
clan of the demagogue order they point
the number of trusts which exists at
{ present time and declare, that such a
state Of affairs never was known in this
country previous to the adoption Of the
protective tariff policy az cnuncatcd by
the Republican party. Whilst that is
undoubtedly true, yet it is not true thai
the protective tariff is the cause Of those
combinations which create so much Just
complaint Previous to the war camb-
nations were made by spectators in the
large cities, and the prices of wheat,
meat, and other food supplies were raised
90 that large profits could be- made by
those engaged in the deal Aud then
MS now, trusts existed as powerful as
those Of which so much complaint Is
made But they were not formed ~
This country but were created IN foreign
countries, and because Of our depen-
dent condition the consumers Of this
country were forced to pay to England
sud other nations the demands made by
them. No reIcfwas had until the prolec-
tive tariff policy was adopted and shut
out to a great degree the manufactured
products of the old world and lowered
prices here at home by competition, but
ut the same time built up and made our
country more prosperous than was ever
before known. Trusts have been form
cd in this country which are in no way
protected by the tariff and are the most
powerful and corrupt which were ever
known. These trust combinations can
be reached and prevented BY laws which
the Congress Of the United States can
and shoad cuact, and which need not ma
terially affect the present tariff that has
done so much toward building up ani
making great and powerful our glorious
country that to-day is the envy Of the
civilized world

AN ECCENTRIC MANS SORROWS.
street Arabs who Object to His style of
Dress.

There is an amiable young man in town
| who is noted for his eccentricities in dress,
manner and mode of thought. He has a
happy faculty ~Qftrequently bursting upon
his friends with yne tremendous addition
to his costume that leaves the spectators
in a condition of mute and helpless paraly-
sis. He appears to run to extremities in
everything, and when he isn't attired in a
delirium of highwater pants he dazzIes the
world with a freak in the shape of head
gear which boldly sets at defiance all arts.

the SPINE of every halter who sees it.
There is nj other individual in town
who affords the street arabs a 1.-THE of the
Joy which they experience upon meeting
this young gentleman.
Yesterday afternoon the youth in ques-
ton came s%trOlling down Seventeenth
street. He seemed to be at peace with all
the world. He was attireI in a queer
combination of highwater trousers and
crushed strawberry hat and he didn't
appear to care who knew it.
A party of boys stood at the opera
house corner as he hove in sight.
Hal Hal" said one little fellow in trag-
ae tones, he comes, he comes," and APP
parently as if to emphasize his 10y over
the advent he bumped up his shoulders
and gave two or three stiff-legged strides
like a t~ragedian experiencing the abandon
ment of woe.
Here 1t comes, sure euongh," they
yelled in chorus.
Hurry up Jimmy and bring the trap"
shouted one.
Don't shoot him." yelled another,
well try to catch him alive"
And so the badinage continued, while
the young man made desperate but an
a%vailing efforts to appear unconscious of
his surroundings, and finally lodged
into an open doorway and disappeared.

of second wind. He rushed at Winters
like a mad bull, planted a stiff one on his
neck and chased him all around the ring.
The rest of the round was clean and
pretty sparring. They exchanged hot rib
roasters, Erswell, as usual, landing
heavier. Winters tented and reached
the operators ribs in fine style, closing the
round.
Round Winters rushed this time,
while Erswell resorted to his old ducking
and lodging tactics, being entirely on
the defensive until Winters had struck
him twice on the neck, once in the bread
basket and once in the face. Erswell
made a terrific rush and landed on Win
ters' eyes, or rather above them, very eff
fectively. The latter seemed dazed when
time was called.
Round S-Erswell took advantage of
the effect produced by his heavy blow in
hicted in the latter part Of the previous
round, and vent at his opponent hammer
and tongs, scoring a number OF clean hits
almost when and where he pleased. Win
tiers vas plucky, however, and showed
his superior science by e7ading
many well directed blows. Erswell
made an irresistible rush, which, assisted
by his weight behind a good blow, knocked
Winters to the floor. He struck Winters
as the latter was falling and the cry of
foul was at once raised by the lighter
boxers second and friends. 1t was not
allowed, however, and at the expiration
of the ten seconds allowed for a knock
down theRmen were at it again. Winters
rallied and did some very pretty work,
but it was evident that he was growing
weak.
Round 9-Further discussion about
the alleged foul was cut short by the call
of time. Erswell advanced at once in a
lively manner. Winters also responded,
but removed his gloves, saying he did not
wish to continue the contest longer simply
because he was tired of it.
The termination Of what was to have
been a twenty round contest in the eighth
bout left the referee but one alternative
to declare Erswell the victor. He was
heartily congratulated by admiring friends,
while Mr.. Winters was not forgotten by
his constituency.
The affair did not in any way SAVIOR of
the brutal prize fight, being, as stated
above, simply a friendly sparring contest.
Winters is the more scientific boxer and
is plucky. but Erswell is heavier, quite
clever with his hands, strikes a terrific
blow and can stand any amount of pun
ishment.
A feature OF the match was the coach
ing of the Cockney, Erswelrs second. He
is a perfect master of ring slang and
handled his man with much diplomacy,
urging him to take advantage of all open.
ings.
Mr.. Pearse's coaching was OF the cul-
tured order, he guiding his man by a
csle of signals.
The event was very interesting and was
keenly enjoyed by the spectators and the
boxers themselves, both of whom emerged
from the ring without n scratch
