Trust, Or something very closely re-
sem bling it, and the profits of the bus
mess may be inferred from the follow
ing paragraph taken from one of the
Reform Clubs recent pamphlets:
The Plttsburg Plate Glass Company own
three works at Creighton, Tarentum, and
Ford City, Penn. Eight years ago this COM
pany built its first plant at Creighton: five
years later it erected its second plant at
Tarentum. In 1889 j, B. Ford, one of the
heaviest stockholders of the company erected
a plant at Ford City and sold it to the Pitts
burgh Plate Glass Company for 81 SOC, 900,
one-half of which was to be in bonds and the
other half in stock of the company at its par
value. Trouble arose at once among the
other stockholders, who objected to the pay
ment of $4,000 in stock at its par value
only, since the stock was 100 per cent. above
par in the open market. The case is now in
the courts.
The original capital of the company was
$500, 900, which was later increased to ST.
100000, and when the Ford City Works
were purchased to -, $50 900, the present
capitalization. In spite OF the constant in
creases in its capital the stock is now worth
5000 on par value of 800 per share. Last
year dividend of 81 per cent. was declared.
What is true of this corporation is true of
the others. The profits of all the plants are
above % per cent.
Surely these people ought to be able
to take care of themselves without any
more help from the Government than
they are already receiving.-NeoO York

Bro. McMullen in his last weeks Demo-
| crdt wants the Ste. Genevieve Herald to eX-
plain why. If the tariff is not tax, sugar
will be two ceuts a pound less than it was
before the sugar schedule of the Mckinley
Bill goes into effect. Now the Herald can
answer for its own readers, but the Mirror
feels inclined to answer for its readers. In
the first pace it is too early yet to know
whether sugar will be reduced in price TO
rre>pond with the reduction in the tariff,
but granting that it will that does not vic late
one single principle of the doctrine of pro-
lection and our free trade friends know this,
even though they are not honest enough to
admit it. 1t is perfectly well known that
the protectionests have always held that a
duty on nom competitive article, as sugar
practically is, because our product forms an
insignificant part Of the amount which we
consume. is a tax and to be justified, if at
all, on revenue rather than on protective
principles. County Mirror.
This won't do, Bro. Veazey. "Non-
competitive" is good, but it can't
make the argument of d "protection-
est" logical. We would have you
look ha kward several years when
there was an eXhorbitant duty on
quinine and that drug sold for $3.50 an
ounce. 1t surely was a competitive
article for there were two factories in
this country whose proprietors firmly
maintained they could not exist with
out protection. However, the duty
was removed and the price of that
commodity was Immediately reduced
to 81 per ounce and is now even less.
And, more, Bro. Veazey, notwith-
standing protection on this article was
abolished, the 'infant industry" was
MT destroyed, but is now in a more
flourishing and wholesome condition
than ever before. Where we had the
two factories then we now have six or
eight and they are all prospecting. The
tax is off, the price down and the people
in the malarial districts correspond
ingly happy; for the cheaper quinine,
the more money at hand for the other
ingredient of the famous "chills and
fever bitters."

We offer TO Maj. Mckinley as a text
for his use while he is careering
through the protected districts of the
East, to gather in the thanks of his
beneficiaries, the circular from some
ecclesiastical furnishersn that has
just reached us. This most alluring
piece of shop literature, headed euro
pean Season, 1884," is addressed
reverend Sir" since it is designed
particularly for the clergy. The in
genious general proposition of the cir
cular is as follows:
The low rates of passage that the steam
ship lines are offering, and the great increase
in articles of clothing, compared with the
nominal prices ut which really high grade
goods can be procured on the other side
Qess than one third of the cost here) might
suggest a means to some OF the clergy by
which they could obtain a pleasant change
of scene, renewed health, and years outfit
at almost the identical cost of the outfit itself
if procured at home.
Having thus shown that the "pro-
tection," OF artificial increase in price
of a clergyman's clothes for a year
equals the cost of European journey,
the advertisers go on to suggest the
journey as a mere GRAND aft r the
"Outfit," which is not even to be
bought honestly abroad, as an incident
of travel, but the bargain is made
here, and the clothes are to be deliv-
cred in England, to be brought in free
of duty by the preacher of morality
who makes the journey for that pur-
pose. "To render ordering as easy
and convent as possible" say the
advertisers, 1--WE will forward SAM
Piles and measure, and clients by Or
dering of US before their departure
can have the articles ready awaiting
their arrival in London" We nour-
ish hope that the "clients" may
take just view of this proposal.
What view Maj. Mckinley and the
American tailors will take we know
very well. But how many of these
latter voted for the robber tariff that
leads directly to such sport with good

With the tide in favor of the farmer

silver, at 90 per cent. discount, or not.
They have grown the wheat and corn
and they can now sell it to foreign coun-
tries for 100 cents on the dollar; but with
free coinage of silver they would virtual

this reason there would be no war for many
