Another " Trust" Coming,

With the coming around of the grape season
lp 1888 we may confidently look for another
"trust" TO follow those created for the pro-
ducers of oil, sugar, salt, etc. In Wicll's
Magazine for November attention is called to
the low price at WHICH grapes have sold dur
Ing the season just finished. Fruit growing
and especially grape-growlng, 1t is urged, has
been pushed too far. The crop sold last year
at lower price than the market had ever be:
fore reached. This year 1t has dropped still
lower. The bottom will soon be reached, for
we are not far from 1t, and thousands OF acres
OF vines already planted will shortly be In
bearing, and preparations have already been
made for large area Of planting In the
spring. What Is to be done with the fruit, 1t
Is plainly to be seen that some engaged in the
business must go to the wall. Only the most
energetic, skiIlful and business-like can stand
against the pressure Grape-growersa are now
only repeating what has already been enacted
by frult-growers several times in this county.
The planting Of apple orchards was pushed to
the extreme, and until there was no
money In the business when q full crop was
produced. The same has been true Of pear
growing. Peach-raising has had its ups and
downs several times, and the cultivation of
the small fruits is in constantly fuctuatlng
condition"
The writer In Vlck's does not suggest the
remedy In DIRECT terms; but when he says the
trouble Is that" the supply is greater titan the
demand" he hints very plainly at the trust"
That was the argument OF the oil men, the
sugar men, and the salt men; and the grape
men will probably land just where these did.
Combustion will he difficult, owing to tho
vast numbers engaged In raising grapes; but
when all the growers have been shown that
they can get more money by raising fewer

A Woman's Voice,

Truly low, soft voice is an excellent
thing in woman. No matter what other
attractions she may have, she may be
as fair as the Trojan Helen and as
learned as Hypatia; she may have all
the accomplishments considered re-
quisite at the present dag. and every
advantage that wealth may procure,
and yet if she lack a low, sweet voice,
she can never be really fascinating.
How often the spell of beauty is broken
by loud, coarse talking. How often you
are irresistibly drawn to plain, unaS-
Stunning woman, whose soft, silvery
tones render her positively attractive.
Besides, we can Judge Of the character
by the voice; the bland, smooth, faWn-
ing tone betokens deceit and hypocrisy
as invariably as the musical, subdued
voice indicates genuine refinement. In
the social circle how pleasant 1t is to
hear woman talk in that low key
which always characterizes the true
lady. In the sanctuary, at home how
such voice soothes the fretful temper
and cheers the weary husband. How
sweetly such cadences float through the
the sick chamber and around the dying
bed; with what solemn melody do
they breathe prayer for a departing

The Rich Growing Richer.

Near the close Of 1885 there died In New
York city citizen Of that place, who left to
his children fortune estimated at SlS2, 000,-
300, besides making a number of minor be-
quests. 1t will help US TO form an idea of the
magnitude of this sum If we consider that it
would have sutliccd to give q Christmas pres
.nt Of $40 to every inhabitant of the city
,r at the rate Of 500 to every family of five
persons, supposing the population at that
time to have been |, 300, 000 A political COM

whose estimated wealth reached an aggregate
II somewhat more than $500, 600 900, and at
east two of the most colossal fortunes were
lnrepresented In this number. Estates rising
into the tens OF millions are to be found in
Fsrious other cities, and taking the county
through, one might designate twenty-five per.
sons whose united wealth. according to cur
.ent estimates, Is not less than two-thirds OF
! billion dollars, or about ! per cent, of the
total wealth of the United States, supposing
his to have Increased even so per cent since
The census OF 1880. Were all the property In
the country held in equally large amounts,
The whole would barely suffice for $500 pro-
prictors; or, surprising these to have families
averaging four persons each besides them
selves IL would supply a population trilc
'arger than that OF the little town Of Yonkers.
There are no authentic statistics showing

portions Of our people, but whatever the facts
may be as to the comparative diffusion of
such wealth as Is held by the classes outside

THE campaign in Audubon county
will be opened on the 10th proximo, by
that gifted orator, Hon. J. p. Dolliver,
of Fl. Dodge. That will make cam
paign of less than five weeks, which is
long enough, indeed as long as the pub
lie wishes its attention diverted from
private business enterprises. Repub-
licans throughout the county should
heartily and enthusiastically unite in
making a vigorous and winning cam
paign. The results which have been
attained by four years of persistent and
honest effort win again be at stake.
The handsome majority which has been
slowly but surely increased, is to be
maintained or partially lost. There
should be no hesitation or turning back
The victories which were so encourag,
ing in former years must be main
tanned. The tendency is to lethergy
born of over confidence, in the year
following successful presidential con.
test, but this can be overcome by de
termined and united effort. Let Dolli,
ver's speech be well attended and his
remarks open one of the most vigorous
contests ever waged by the party in the
county.

Our Increased Valuation.

So much has been said in certain
quarters about the action of the State
Board of Equalization In laiSing the
assessed valuation of real property in
Carroll county thirty per cent higher
than it was, we have taken pains to
ascertain the facts In the case, and the
reason why the increase was made.
The increase, we wish to say, was
perfectly just and right. 1t is conced-
ed that land sells for as high price in
Carroll as in any adjacent county. In
deed, it commands a higher price.
phe valuation per acre fixed by the
State Board in the several counties is
as follows:
Audubon, SS41; Greene, $7.76; Car
roll, S7.6s, Crawford, 1913: Sac, S7.O7
and Calhoun, So. %. 1t will be noticed
that Carroll is rated lower than Greene
and Audubon, and but slightly above
Crawford and Sac. Comparing with
other counties in this lacality, the
action of the State Board seems even
more favorable to Carroll county. In
Ida the rate was fixed at 1864 per
acre; Harrison, S7,s7; Shelby, SS.O4;
Guthrie, S7.0i and Boone 1888. TO
place Carroll at s7.6s was about the
right thing to do.
1t was necessary to raise the valua-
ton In Carroll because this county re-
ported the average assessed price of
land at 1891, while Audubon reported
1885; Greene, 1886; Sac, 1872 and
Crawford, 1888. With such a showing
the Board Of Equalization could not
have done otherwise than increase the
valuation of Carroll. Audubon was
decreased FIVE per cent, but it is still
too high, Guthrie is rated at 1886
only 20 cents less than Carroll, when
our land sells for fully So more pei
acre.-CarT0H Herald.

IT is clearly the policy Of the county
democracy to create fractional disturb
ances in the republican camp this year.
They estimate that they have not a hope
for success unless this scheme can be
worked. Their minority u hopeless,
and unless by creating fractional tur-
moil and drawing from the republican
ranks, they can not elect a single can
didate on their ticket. While the plan
is their only hope it is dull conception
indeed. 1t presumes that republicans
are gullibles and unable to manage
party affairs. The REPUBLICAN be-
lieves that the party will turn deaf
ear and satisfied smile upon their
bungling plans, and roll up the major
ity which has been so satisfactory in re,
cent years.
