WASHINGTON, Nov.8.-President Polk,
of the National Farmers Alliance. is
very jubilant over the result of the elec-
tions. In an interview. today he said:
'The Democrats and Republicans are
claiming everything just now, but when
they come to sift the chaf from the
wheat, they will find that the Farmers
Alliance had something to do with
electing fair proportion of good men
who will have seats in the next con-
gress. Up to the present time, it is a
certainty that congress will contain
thirty-eight straight-cut alliance men,
and there are twelve or fifteen more who
are pledged to us. These men are from
the south and northwest, the two Sec
tions in which most of our work was
done. The alliance in Nebraska, Min
nesota and Iowa is not our organization,
and is not amalgamated with us, but it
made the same fight, and will join us
this winter. Our alliance will cooperate
with any farmers association, and in a
little while have a grip on the situation
in almost every corner Of the land. We
are here to stay. This great reform
movement will not cease until
it has impressed itself indelibly
in the nations history. Financial re-
form is the necessity of the hour, and it
must come. The press and the voice of
the stump speaker were our only assist
ants. The Alliance has no campaign
fund, no Doodle. If we had had money
we would not have used it.
The principles on which the ALI
ance is founded are solid and correct.
We must succeed. The fight was no
small affair. The extremists of both
parties attacked us bitterly, and gave
no inch of ground. In the south it was
north our most vigorous antagonists
were the Republicans.

BERLIN, Nov. 8.-[Coprighted by the
New York Associated Press Chancel-
lor Won Caprivi, who has been visiting
Milan this morning, received deputa-
tion of German residents of the city,
who presented an address. In replying,
the chancellor spoke in terms of unoffi-
cial frankness Of the object and results
of his meeting with the Italian prime
minister. He congratulated his visitors
upon living in the beautiful country,
which was the center of art interest, and
which was under government that
was linked with that of Germany by
policy of peace. His interviews with
Signor Crispi, he said, cemented and
perfected the entente of the dreibund.
He had no anxiety as to the immediate
future, and was confident that peace
would be maintained for a long time to
come. The chancellor did not go to the
length of disclosing the Issue of the dis
cussion Of Signor Crispi's demand that
the Emperor of Austria return King
Humbert's visit by going to Rome.
Relations Further Strained.
The relations between the italian
courS anu the government OF Austria
have been further strained by advices
from the Italian ambassador at Vienna,
that Cardinal Galimberti, papal nuncio,
is operating with Emperor Fran
els Joseph, through the empress
and archdukes, to break Aus
tria's connection with Italy.
The Riforma of Rome contrived to get
hold of the dispatches from Cardinal
Galimbarti to the pope, reporting pro-
gress in the diplomacy tending to isc-
late the Italian government. The au-
thenticity of the dispatches has not
been denied. Prime Minister Crispi has
been for a long time urging the emperor
of Austria to return King Humberts
visit. He now insists upon Austrian
recognition of Rome as the capital Of
Italy, by the emperor to the Quirinal.

Haven, R., 161 majority two years ago.
Returns from 341 out OF 400 precincts in

have been received, gave Cleveland a
majority of 331 over Harrison two years
ago.
p. m.-Returns from 347 out OF 457
precincts in the First congressional dis
trict give Barham, r, plurality of 254.
The counties in this district from which

EnumeratOrs.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 8.-A bulletin from
the census Office upon the census of

a force OF enumerators, and in collect
ing statistics. He began his work Feb
ruary 10th, last, divided the territory
into eight divisions, organized force Of
assistant special agents for field work,
from residents familiar with the language
and country. The enumeration is nearly
completed, but returns have been re-
ceived only in part, and some cannot be
had until next spring. Mr.. PetrofFs Jour-
ney in Alaska footsup about II, 900 miles,
and the distances there travelled by his
assistants probably foot up more. The
superficial area of the territory is esti-
mated at $40, 900 square miles.

TRUSTS ARE MONOPOLIES.
HOW A FULL BLOWN TRUST Is
FORMED.

Origin of the Sugar Trust-How Corpora
lions Differ from Ordinary Partnerships.
How the Copper Monopoly is Sustained.
Why Farmers Cannot Form a Trust.
A trust is an agreement among inter-
ested parties to control prices of the arti-
Giles which they handle in common. The
parties concerned may be either persons,
stock companies or corporations. For
reasons, afterwards shown, the parties
in trust are usually corporations
The trust agreement may have many
forms while aiming at its primary OBJ
ject of controlling prices. If there were
three men, each in business for himself,
who controlled among them the entire
product of a certain article, trust
might be formed by each of them honor
ably agreeing not to sell his manufac-
lures below a certain sum, or, not to sell
his manufactures except in certain To-
calities. This would practically be
trust, and a perfectly legal one at that
There is nothing illegal or immoral in
men verbally agreeing to sustain prices
or to restrict output, provided they stop
at that point.
A more usual form of trust, however,
is that formed by number of corpora
tons. There are two ways in which this
is done. One is to agree that each cor
poration will combine to manage its own
affairs, but that in cases of necessity
the concerns which make profits will
transfer some portion of their earnings
to those that make none. This was the
chrysallis form of many Of the present
full blown trusts. AS an arrangement
between corporations, this was perfectly
legal in itself, though it could not be put
in the form of binding contract.
The full-blown trust is made by the
pooling of interests of the shareholders
of more than one corporation. For ex-
ample, the sugar trust comprises all the
refners of that article except one in the
United States, and several of these re-
finers were in the form of incorporated
companies. Before the trust was formed
other re6pers FASTENED to incorporate
themselves and their associates.
When all were ready, the sugar trust
was formed. A number of trustees, rep
resenting each of the larger interests
involved, were first selected. To these
trustees were confded by the sharehold-
ers in the various corporations the en-
tire script which represented their i1ter-
est in a refinery. The trustees at once
locked up these share certificates and is
sued against them new certificates, call
ed trust certificates, in which the receipt
Of the shares was acknowledged.
These trust certificates represented a
proportional share of all the refneries
comprised ip the trust. Each Of these
refneries was previously valued, and
this valuation was added on to the total
amount of the sum for which trust GER
tihcates were issued.
In this form of trust there is something
illegal, though not very much. a cor

newer Western States is sad one, and
there is no reason to doubt that it is true.
The conclusions he draws from his per-
sona1 observations are that farmers in the
middle States, if they are industrious and
thrifty, are far better off than those of the
West in the sections he describes His ad-
wise to such as are FESTIVE and desire to try
their fortunes in the West is to stay at
home and cultivate their lands to the best
of their ability, with schools and churches
close at hand and with social surroundings
that are congenial. 1t may be desirable
thing, he says, to import Scandinavian
colonists to occupy the deserted farms, but
it would be much better, he thinks, if ma
tive Americans could be induced to take
the vacant farms and apply to their i'm
provement the same labor and energy that
they would be compelled to exercise at the
