filled with dismay at the prospect Of
having Il woman among them on the
festive occasion. Her presence would
mean to them the loss of their post
prandial cigars at least, and after the
grave deliberation which the subject de-
manded il was decided TO return Mrs.
kilgore's subscription and let the dinner
be, as heretofore, strictlya stag" affair.
This action naturally elected some
caustic comment on the part of the
talented lady most directly affected, and
the case has been argued, pro and con,
with much vigor.
This setback is bnt one of many SINH
lar incidents in the career of Mrs. Kill
gore. Probably no person living ever
fought so persistcntly for the honor of
admission to the bar.
AS far back as 1878 the struggles of
this lady, who was hen Carrie Burn
ham, began. She paid her taxes, which
We're, OF course, accepted, and then Of
fered to vote, but her ballot was rejected.
An unsuccessful appeal to the courts
followed. Some time afterward Miss

kilgore and began the study of the law.
Her application for admission to the
bar was denied by the board of exam
ers and their action confirmed by the
courts. Six years later she made an eff
fort to get into the law department of
the University of Pennsylvania. but did
not succeed.
Miss Burnham's next important act
was to marry Mr.. kilgore, her preceptor,
by whom she had two children. An
other application to the university fol-
lowed and she was admitted, but her

Shoddy still reigns supreme.
And now a word to w%orkingmen. You
are told by protectionists that clothing
is cheaper under the Mckinley tariff
than it was before his bill was enacted
into law. There is not word of truth in
it. Clothing made from pure woods is
necessarily higher in this country, today
than ever before. The cheap clothing
about which protectionists pirate is made

discounts amounting to from A to 10 per
cent. OF the trust price, according to the
amount bought.
The object of this was to prevent the
large jobbers from cutting the prices
fixed by the trust. In January, 1891,
this rebate system was abolished. De-
Quoting these rebates, which affected
large purchases only, the difference in
price between pig and white lead shows
Il steady increase since the formation Of
the trust. The present price of pig lead
in New York is 4.2O to 4.25 cents per
pound, and white lead in oil sells for
from 615 cents to 81 cents per pound
for twelve tons and over. The differ
ence between the lowest quotations for
white lead and pig lead is therefore $50
cents per pound.
Thus the large increase in the net
profits made by the trust during the
past three years has not been brought
about by economy in production, as was
declared to be the object of the trust, but
by the higher prices which it was able to
exact from The ability of
the trust to maintain these high prices
shows how complete is its control of the
white lead industry.

made easier by the sudden rise in the

Since then Mrs. Kilgore's career has

TRUST ~"ECONOMIES."


Not Until the Trusts Dissolve DO the
Economics" Appear.
We have been trying to find in the
current reports of the trade journals
ONT evidence as to the changes made
III prices when the manufacturers in a
large industry lose the advantages de-
rived from those economics which a
trust or similar combination enables
them to practice. Everybody has heard
of these economics"
Everybody has been told by the trust
makers that they reduce the cost of pro-
duction and the selling price of the
products. Many have been surprised
when they saw prices considerably in
creased as soon as combined manufac-
tnrers were able to enjoy the '.econo-
mics" 1t appears also that prices suffer
IA serious decline when manufacturers
who have been in combination are no
longer assisted by the economics" The
facts are curiously ut variance with the
trust makers doctrine.
The combination of the manufacture
erS of steel beams was dissolved some
weeks ago. While these manufacturers
enjoyed the saving caused by the .'econ-
omies,' the price of steel beams was
8 40 cents per pound at the mill, or
$69.44 per long ton. A few days ago
1000 tons were sold in Chicago at the
price of pa cents, delivered. Other
sales at even lower prices have been re-
ported, as follows;
1T is stated that one large contract.
5000 tons, for seasons delivery, has
been placed with Il leading architectural
works in this city New York; at two
cents, Pittsburg mill. Iron Age.
In the beam trade. the only item of
news of the week is the report that con.
tracts for 5000 tons have been placed in
Boston at 2 ITO cents, delivered Iron
Age.
The price of barbed wire, as fixed bv
the Barbed Wire trust. was, at Pitts
burg, on Jan. %, Just before the dissolu-
ton Of this combination, . 30 for paint
ed and $500 for galvanized. On March
3, about one month after the dissolution
OF the trust, the prices at the same place
were $2.25 and $2.65, and correspond
ing reductions had been made at other
points.
The changes caused by the loss of the
trust economics may be set forth as
follows;

These figures will tax the ingenuity of
the professional advocates of trustism.
Immediately after the great advantages
due to the practice of combination
economics were withdrawn, The price
of steel beams did not rise. 1t fell 81
per cent, And in the ease Of barbed
wire there was IA decline of Is per cent.
