Over the pale, blue sky heecy clouds

spirits. and below the wealth OF teemlng
fields the deep. cool green of clustering
groves tho Holston shining through the

Mount of Horeb from the Land of Promise.
The air is full Of sweetness and fresh with
glory of perfume, balm, and harmony;

surplus for which no market could be
found. How came the surplus? Why,
from the large number of manufacturers
who were induced by the protection
afforded the business to go into it. But
for the trust. which showed up prices
to reasonable ~ figure, a number of
manufacturers would be bankrupted
and their employees thrown out of
work.
The object of the trust, therefore. is
to fold; to regulate the supply and
maintain prices at reasonable figure.
AS long as that can be done employees
will get good wages and the home
market for the farmers products is
expanded. He will get more for his
wheat, corn, oats and potatoes, more
for his hogs, horses and cattle than
otherwise. And in this way, the trust
being merely an auxiliary to the tariff
as everybody can see, becomes in its
turn really more of blessing than the
tariff itself. The tariff by over stimu-
lating, destroys its beneiiciaries, while
the trust steps in as an equalizer and
maintains a healthy and normal con-
dition.
Can you now see the resemblance
between the methods and arguments
used by the protectionists and the
trusts? If not. we advise you to get a
pair of glasses, or have the scales re-
moved from your eyes,

BEHOLD THE REsEM BLANCE.

1t is denied that there is any connec-
ton between the tariff and trusts.
There is, however, striking similarity
in the methods by which both recon-
mend themselves to the public. Did a
bastard child bear such resemblance
to the putative father as the methods
and arguments of the trust bear to
those of the tariffites, its paternity
would be fixed beyond a doubt. The
friends of the tariff claim for it that it
benefits the people by building up man
Ufactures in great numbers. which fur
nish employment to a multitude at
high wages. besides affording market
for domestic agricultural products.
For these advantages the people, it is
claimed, can afford to pay little more
for manufactured domestic products
than for the cheaper foreign article.
In this way the tariff is blessing and
everybody reaps the benefit.
Let it not be forgotten that competi-
ton among manufacturers is the main
idea in weighing the blessings OF the
tariff. OF course without that prices
would 60 kiting.
Now how does the trust operate, or
rather how does it justify its opera
tions? Take the statement of
the cotton bagging trust for
example The managers claimed
q year ago that the trust was
organized to save the individual mem
bers of it, the most of whom were
threatened with ruin because af the
low yrice Of bagging, caused by large

A TOLEDO. Ohio, dispatch says that
Wellington r. Burt, president of the
Michigan Salt association, leaves to-
day for England, where he goes to
raise $40. OO0, 900 for the purpose of
completing national salt trust. The
object of the trust, Mr.. Burt patroniz-
ingly assures us, IS hot to raise the
price. Bless you, no. He is too phi
lantropic for that. The real object, as
he says himself, is to prevent a further
reduction in price from ''ruinous COM
petition" That cursed competition,
but for 1t. what bonanza such men
as Burt would have. Is there no way
by witch it can be banished for good
and all?

free love-" How wonderfully conde-
scending! 1t is a little singular that
these women who love to write books
delineating the free love proclivities of
their heroines, do not openly denounce
marriage as a system of connubial
slavery. They evidently think so if
one may judge from the delight with
which they permit their morbid imagin-
atoms to revel in scenes of Iicentious-
ness and indiscrimate free love prac-
ticed by their heroes and heroines.

THE bluest spot in America was the
air around Guthrie yesterday when it
was found that the emissaries of Kan
sas City spectators had got in ahead
of everybody else and monOpolized all
the desirable town lots in Guthrie.
When the first train from the north
reached the place, these fellows were
found to be in possession, with Win
chesters in hand. to defend their claims.
AS they must have violated the law,
and gone into Oklahoma before the
time fixed, and kept themselves con-
cealed in the neighborhood of the town
until II O'Clock yesterday, it would
seem that their claims should not be
recognized. But. as we said yester-
day, first come first served; everp man
for himself and the ID take the hind
most. The latter's profanity yester-
day when they found themselves
euchered out of their grabs was some
thing awful. But the man with a
town lot under his feet and a Winches-
ter in his hand could afford to laugh at
the others cha0rin.
