little more than half as much of it
to load a gun as of the powder now
in use.

AN ANTI-TRUST RILL.

AN ANTITRUST BILL.
 Both houses of the Illinois legislature have passed a bill which is intended to do the business for all trusts in Illinois. The first section provides that any corporate or natural persons who shall create or enter into combination to fix the price or limit the production of any commodity produced or sold in the state "shall be deemed and adjudged guilty of con- spiracy to defraud." A subsequent sec tion fixes the penalty for violation of this first section at 2 fine of not less than s200 or more than s1, ,O0O, or confinement in the county jail not more than one year, or both. Of course, in the case of corporations the penalty is to be inflicted upon their officers or agents upon convic- ton.
 The second section makes it unlawful for any corporation to issue or own trust cer- ti6cates, or for any corporation or for any officer, agent or the stockholders of any corporation to enter into any combination with others for the purpose of placing the management of the combination Cor the manufactured product thereof in the hands of trustee or trustees with intent to fix prices or limit production and sale of any article of commerce, use or con sumption. The penalty is fine of not less than $500 nor more than 5000 for the first offense, not less than 5000 nor more than $5, 900 for the second, and not less than 5000 nor more than s1O, 900 for the third, and $15, ,OO0 for every subsequent offense.
 It is further provided that any contract or agreement made in violation of the act shall be void; that any purchaser of articles sold by persons violating the act shall not be liable for the price; and that where there is conviction under the act the in former shall be entitled to one fifth of the fine recovered.
 Good enough. Now watch the trusts get around it.

AN UNHEEDED LESSON.

IN - N III AnOSONs
 It is hard to learn. The South has had one very thorough experiment with cheap money, and yet it wants another. In no section of the country is the belief that an increase in the volume of the currency is the cure-all for financial ills stronger than in the southern States. The free coinage of silver is urged in the South by senators, congressman and farmers, not as a purely business matter looking to an in- crease in the profits of mining, as it is in the far West, but because ethe country needs more money" The same delusion prevails there regarding the subtreasury scheme and Stanford's land mortgage scheme, which have been indorsed by the Ocala convention and the Cincinnati con ference i,' 's' '..
 The southerners would do well to study the cheap money experiment which was made, in their region s'during the, war" The Springfield Republican pertinently says oft: The confederacy had currency enough and to spare of just the kind this Ocala platform calls for; it was issued by the government in volume as needed, and was based on the faith and credit of the seeding states, as much as sub-treasury currency would be based upon the credit and resources of the United States. There never was time during the war, after the government at Richmond had set its printing presses going, when money was not plenty and cheap, and the longer the war lasted the cheaper it be- came, until at last barrel of flour would buy almost q wagon load of it. The peo- pie of the South know better than we at the North how this cheap money experi- ment of the confederacy worked. They know that it brought big prices to the farmers, and everybody else who had any thing to sell, but the farmers did not get rich under it's influence. The actual wages of labor, measured by their power of pur- chasing the necessities and comforts of life, did not rise as currency became moro plentiful, nor did very many become rich by being able to get this money easily.
