tributes the high price to the scarcity

this be true, why censure the secretary

Next year will be the last leap year
of the century, and anOthrrw viii not Oc-
cur until 1904. The year 1900 will not
be a leap year. The unusual occurrence
is due TO the fact that the addition OF
one day to each fourth year more than
makes up the presumed deficiency in
the calendar year, and consequently
the world is constantly losing time,
as a watch loses it, and therefore there
was danger that in the course of Il few
thousand years the Fourth % July
would come on Christmas.

THE oFFENsE OF A TRUST.

The Standard Oil Company has re-
ceived less censure than any other of
the great trusts because it has reduced
the price and improved the quality of
kerosene OIL 1t has been referred to
often as the one trust which has bene-
flied the people by affording a better
article at lower price. At the same
time. many have known that it has
been one of the most law-defying COM
binations in the country. as well as one
of the most INSCRIPTIONS in it's methods
to break down competitors. employing
methods by which hundreds of men have
been ruined. 1t was testified in New
York. several years ago, that one of
its agents was connected with the burn
ing of the property of competitor. 1t
has exerted a corrupting influence over
railroads by compelling rates discrimi-
mating in its favor and against it's COM
petitors. In short, the record of the
Standard is the darkest that any trust
has made.
Hitherto it has had the good sense
to keep itself in favor with the public.
1t has been able to say to the people
that they have cheap and good oil be-
cause of the policy of the Standard.
Just now it has become SO audacious
that. like some others. its greed has led
it to ignore the public. The present rise
in oil is the work of the Standard. 1t
means. at the prices it was offering yes
terday for crude oil for May and June,
or to make more money for its few
stockholders, has doubled the price of
oil to the consumer. There was moth
ing in the situation to cause crude oil
to more than double in price within two
weeks. The price might have advanced
10 or 20 per cent. if the stocks in sight
were light, but there has not been such
curtailment of crude oil as to war
rant the prices which the Standard was
paying yesterday. The price of $3.50 a
barrel was made to enable the Standard
to crush its latest competitors and to
double the price to the consumer of the
the lowest price of two weeks ago. The
excellent Rockefellers will add hundreds
of thousands to their millions, and the
philanthropist who has started the
University of Chicago will get back the
greater part of the money devoted to
this enterprise. but every dollar of it
will come out of the pockets of the con-
sumers, who must take Is cents to pur-
chase gallon of oil instead of the s
they have been paying in cities like In
dianapolis for three or four years.
There is nothing in the conditions of
the supply of crude oil to make this
doubling of prices anything less than
conspiracy of a monopoly, grown big
in injustice and Undertakings, to exact
money from the masses. 1t may not be
robbery in the eye of the law, but in
ethics that is the name of the offense
or which the Standard is guilty

A reader has called attention to
an error in the Journal IN respect to
the value of the output of the precious
metals at given periods from 100 to 1892.
The quantities were as stated, but the
values were incorrect. as must have ap-
peared on the face of the statement
when the quantities were given. Dur
ing the forty years. 1700-1740. the value
of the production of the gold and silver
mines differs with the authority, the
average being about 1920, 00O,0 o0 or about
S23. 0O0, 900 a year. The gold output of
1893 was s155. 900. and the coming
value OF the silver s2Os, 371, 900, total
of 1868 1897 900, or nearly sixteen times
as much as the average of the annual
output in forty years after 1900.

Yesterday the Journal set forth the
possibilities of Argentina as compete
tor in the foreign market for the wheat
trade. It's business will be to raise
wheat for the foreign market. British
capital is invested in the enterprise; that
is, it has built the railroads and it owns
the mortgages. British merchants will
handle the wheat and British ships will
take it to London. The American
farmer, with his high priced land, can
not compete successfully with such con-
ditions. His best market is not the
foreign market. In the course of a few
years, if the policy of fostering home
market shall be restored all the wheat
which is raised in the United States
east of the Rocky mountains will be
needed to feed people living in the
United States. This statement is based
upon the assumption that the country
has reached about the limit of wheat
production. If the acreage should be
reduced 10 per cent. it would not be long
before the United States would need its
wheat crop for home consumption. If
those acres could be used where the con-
ditions are favorable in the production

now importing. it is probable that there
would be more money in it. Again, un-
der the present tariff law, more. than
500 1000 900 worth of foreign goods which,
under a protectiove tariff, were pro-
duced in this country will displace the
home product. This 100,003,000 is about
as much as the surplus wheat sent to
Europe will bring this year. Still fur
ther, the loss of wages under the Cleve-
land regime forced the people of this
country to consume 100000 bushels
less wheat than during 1892. These
facts show that if the American wheat
grower had the home market which the
full protection of the Mckinley law
insured him. there would be little
wheat to export now. and none what
ever in the course of three or four years.
The home wheat market being secured
to the American farmer by an import
duty which would be protective, he need
not compete with the wheat growers
which crowd the exchanges in London
and Liverpool with their yearly increas-
ing surDluses. because he would have
an ample market and better prices at
home.

In preparing for the collection of the
income tax the Internal Revenue Office
at Washington sent out 100000 blanks.
After hearing from the district collec-
tors, and before the recent decision of
the SUPP eme Court it was estimated
that between 250,000 and 100000 returns
would be filed. Now it is stated that
about 10000 returns have been filed,
and that from 10 to Is per cent. of the
persons making them will be exempt
under the decision of the court. This
would leave about 100000 persons to pay
the tax. and internal revenue officers
estimate that it will not average more
than 500 to person. This would yield
a total revenue of about $4,000, 000,
which is probably the outside limit Of
what the government will realize from
the tax in its present form.
