TRUSTS.

The price of any article or con- modity is regulated by the natural law of supply and demand. When any given article is in excess of the demand, the price will necessarily be low; but when the supply is less than the demand, the price will inevitably be high. Such is the legitimate operation of the law which governs trade and commerce. Fair competi- ton does not materially disturb the operation of this law-in fact, it secures the normal and equitable adjustment of prices, as between the buyer and the seller. But when the element of monopoly, or trust as 1t is called, is introduced as a factor in the case, then prices are forced up to an unnatural standard, and the legitimate operation of the law IS completely destroyed. The true name, therefore, for the whole family of trusts and combinations is monopoly; but as this is a bad name, one that would bring all such schemes into disrepute, the parties to such obnoxious combines have sought shelter under the spacious and attractive name of Trusts, ir order that they may conceal thclI intentions and the more effectually accomplish their wicked objects The whole process is cXtortion and robbery under the forms of law, ano should be condemned and denounced l by every honest man. The following from the Russelyille Democrat, or this line, we heartily endorse anC commend to the consideration of oul readers:
 Every dollar person pays fol | goods, wares and merchandise over and above what they are worth under this natural law, is a tax, or worse an extortion The few men witt their many millions who combine t' increase prices and thereby extor money from people, are robbers They demand more duties in order that there may be more trust rob bery and tariff robbery. They say that the prosperity of the country depends upon this twin combination If by prosperity they mean th' better condition of the beneticiarie' of the protective system and trus combinations, then they are right If they mean thereby the prosperity of the people they are wrong. Th' common people, the toiling millions never prospered out of taxation public or private, tariff or trust, ant never will Down with the systen of protection by which these unholl combinations are made possible, ant up with tariff reform, the hope anC stay of American institutions a founded by the fathers.

Obituary.

Robert Ozsy Mcdaniel was born in Columbia county, Oct, 22, 1864 and died August 30, 1889, He leaves a grief-stricken wife, two little children, an aged father and mother, and brothers and sisters to mourn their loss. He was a kind, devoted husband, tender, indulgent father, a loving, obedient son, kind and yielding brother, faithful, good and respected citizen. Happy in domestic life, husband and wife fully agreed; two tender, sweet children ; living near his aged father and mother; surrounded by brothers and sisters i'll neighborhood of friends ; meeting the demands and duties of life faithfully; how bright, how beautiful and promising seemed the future. But, alas in the latter part of July he was stricken down with slow fever. For forty days he bore intense sufferings without mur- mur. He seemed to have present. ment that his sickness was unto death, and often talked of approach ing dissolution. He made a profes- sion of religion four weeks before he died, but for two years there has been a marked change ill his life, giving evidence to his friends that he had passed from death unto life. He shouted glory, glory"' and often repeated, T am so happy. All was peace and resignation unto the end, leaving his friends the com forting, confident hope that he has entered the home of the just made perfect.
 Grieve not fond friends, the sepa- ration won't be long, The Lord giveth and the Lord taketh away, blessed be the name of the Lord. '' We don't understand the dispensa tion of Gods providence some times, but time will demonstrate His wisdom to us; "IIe doeth all things well. Even the light of this world is dark ness when compared with the light of Heaven Here the best and most highly favored do little more than grope their way; there every one walks in monday clearness, and now, while it is darkest to you, it k morning with your friend, blessed morning.
 ! We will all gather home in the morning On the banks of the bright Jasper sea, 1 We will meet all the friend, gone before Us, l What gathering that will be.

The Grand Army at Milwaukee have endorsed Corporal Tanner of the Pension Bureau This was no more than every body expected, as he has done all that he could to pro- mote their interests, even at the eX- pense of law and the general veal. Their endorsement, however, does not vindicate his loose and unscrupu- lous administration of the Pension Department.

VOORHEES, ON THE TARIFF.

A government that taxes one class of its citizens to enrich another class does not deserve to exist on the face of the earth, and will not long exist unless the laboring, producing peo- pie consent to become slaves. We are travelling fast toward that condi- tion, and In many respects we have reached it.
 Forty years ago but one man In the United States was supposed to be worth Sj ,000, ,000. He was John Jacob Astor, Now there are thou sands worth more than that sum; a large number worth more than sac, ,O00, ,000, and many worth more than Sl00, 1000, ,000. The owners of these vast fortunes do no physical work; they contrive, they scheme, they plan, they legislate all the work on to you. You labor, toll, sweat and groan. You eat your bread in the sweat of your faces, but the trouble is that the millionaIres eat their bread also in the sweat of your faces, not in the sweat of their own. It is from your sweat and toll also that they build their gilded and more than royal palaces, and furnish them with more than Oriental splen- dor, luxury and magnlicence. You pay for it all. It i. the old, old story which has been enacted in every age and cline by caste, priyi- lege and protected aristocracy feed ing and ilourishing at the hands of the weary. toiling masses, It is the old and infamous claim that in all countries and amongst all races from the beginning of human history a titled and privileged few are right fully born, booted and spurred to mount and ride the bridled and saddled, burthen- bearing taX-paying, sunburnt, homespun millions.
 That claim is here in our midst now with all it's worst and most brutal arrogance. A little while ago it was like the storm cloud when it first appears-no larger than mans hand. Now it darkens the whole heavens and brings gloom and terror to the impoverished liresides of laboring men, women and children from one ocean to the other You have heard of the perilous edge of battle. The free institutions of this and all your rights to equality and protection from spoia- tion and plunder by law, are this hour on the periious edge, where the line is drawn between q government of the people and an open, avowcd government by the naked power of money, govern ment by the dukes, earles and lords

A Boon for Suffering Women

If there are times in life that try men s souls, there are also times that try women's souls. As woman s organization in general is more deli cate than mans so she has special functions of far more delicate char acter which render her much more liable to Arrangement and disease and which require much more skillful and careful treatment. No class of diseases test physician skill or a medicines efficacy more severely than Female Diseases. No medicine has ever proved more successful in the cure of such diseases than Pe- ru-na. In that most trying of periods which every middle-aged woman must pass through, Pe-ru-na has proved true boon to the sex. "I had been a great sufferer for three years, writes Mrs. $. Smith, of liillsyilIe. Pa. II had given up all hope. when l commenced taking Pe-ru-na and Man-a-lin. Now l am as well as ever in my life Regu- late the bowels with Man-a-lin. For sale by Geo. W.

Niagara Falls.

In the summer of 1888, MT. Chas. Graham, of New York, one of the finest aquarellists in the country, produced water-color of Niagara Falls. remarkable in It's accuracy of drawing, in it's marvellous coloring, in its masterly handling of tones and effects, all of which have been per fcctly reproduced. As the point of view of this picture is near the Michigan Central's station at Falls View, and represents its yestihuled limited train at that point in the foreground, it obtained possession of the water-color and the copies made thcrefrom. The latter are printed in color, l55 by 22 inches, upon paper 22 by 28 inches in size, and when framed cannot be distinguished from a genuine water-color save by an expert.
 They bear no advertising save what is involved in the title, "MIcHIGAS CENTRAL TRAIN PASSING NIAGARA FALLS" A limited number of them will be furnished to the pub lie at Fifty Gents each, which is very much below their commercial or their artistic value. They will he securely sent by mail upon a paStcboard roll, without extra charge, but not more than two copies will be sent to any one ad- dress.

 Mir. Russell Myrick, of the firm of Myrick X Henderson, Fort Smith Ark, says he wishes to add his testi- mony to the thousands which have already been given as to Swifts Specific. He says he derived the most signal benefit from its use to cure painful boils and sores resulting from impure blood.
 When taken for a few days, potash mixtures impair the digestion, take away the appetite, and dry up the gastric juices which should assist in and assimilatIng the food. Swift's Specific has just the opposite effect it improves digestion, brings and builds up the general health,

Corporal Tanner has forever dis graced himself by the foul stigma upon the virtue of woman, in one of his utterances before the National Encampment at Milwaukee, He says that soldiers widows prefer their pensions to their virtue; and therefore he recommends that they be allowed to keep their pensions af- ter re-marriage. The brand of infamy will forever blister his character as the traducer of women.

We understand that some of our colored people believe that the un- known negro killed by the up pas senger train in our town, on Friday night last, was killed by some one and afterwards put on the track to make it appear that he was killed by the train. There is nothing in the facts of the ease to justify this opn- ion. The verdict of the Coroner $ jury was that his death was caused by the cars running over one of his legs, and by bruises inflicted on his body, etc. and as there were no knife or bullet wounds found on his person, the legitimate presumption is that he was endeavoring to steal a ride on the train, and lost his life through his rashness and careless ness. We regret that such an un- timely and fatal accident should have happened, but at the same time ex- onerate the railroad and other par tles from all responsibility for thls sad affair.
