The Trusts and the Prices.
Communicated

1t is difficult to reconcile the vocifer-
|ous and angry clamor to the effect that
the trusts have raised the prices of oil
and beef, with the undenied reports
that the increase of the cost of these
commodities to the consumer has
brought the natural result and reduced
1t is hard to see where
the trust is reaping any advantage
by raising the prices far above the cost
of production at the risk of inviting
serious competition, if the cOnsump-
,tion is rrespondingly reduced. Ruin
is an invariable result of excessive prof
its. When trust undertakes to raise
prices arbitrarily. it treads upon very
grounds. The principal as
surance of monopoly is cheap prices
Only as long as the trust sells cheaper
than competitors 1t is sure of its mo-
.nopOly. The moment it ventures to
enlarge the margin of its profits beyond
the limit set by competition, COMPETE
ton at once appears. The bitterness
against trusts is easily explained. Most
people are comparatively poor in spite
of strenuous efforts to get rich Most
people are forced to contemplate fail
not make them particularly generous
towards success in Others, not always
from envy, but because it is solace to
the self respect of one who has been
disappointed in the struggle for wealth
to reflect that wealth implies dishon-
esty, or that it cannot be secured with
out wrong doing Still it is but reas-
enable to suppose that no trust or mon
opioy commits crime for the mere
love OF wrong doing and when the
acrime would be against every business
instinct. Nor is it likely to raise prices
in the face of the certainty that it
will lose money by it. Possibly the
trusts have raised the prices, but it
seems hardly possible, and to get at
the truth of the matter, without man
ufacturing it to suit our own views,
or to help a popular cry, we will have
to go yet further back to get at the pri-
mary cause of the high prices that now
reign in the staple market.

Dorchester Colonists.

1t is estimated that about six hun
dred persons are included in the colo
ny of emigrants, who have gradually
increased each year in Dorchester
County. Recently two Germans, father
and son, came 1000 miles from Kansas,
to take up their abode in the settle
ment. The land is farmed scientific
cally and about $500 acres are taken
up by these people. The original colo
nists were Russian-Germans, who came
to this country years ago, and first set
tied in Kansas. Nearly all the settlers
own their own lands and are PROCESS
ing finely.

THE ARMENIAN oUTRAGEs.
A Report That the Survivors of the
Massacre Are Being Tortured.

London, May S-The Daily News
publishes advices received from it's cor
respondent at Kars saying that 800 of the
survivors of the recent massacre in Ar
menia, who returned to Their homes un-
der promise of protection from the Turks,
are prosecuted and tortured daily at the
hands of the Turkish officials, Supported
by gendarmes. For two months, it is
said, the officials have tried to force the
refugees to sign an address of thanks to
the sultan stating that they have met
only with kindness at the hands of the
troops, that all oil the troubles were
caused by the Kurdish raiders and that
suitans troops took no part in the
slaughter. Those refusing to sign the
address are beaten, placed in chains, and
are suspended for hours by their feet.
Women were outraged, children were
shamefully treated, and the soldiers
dragged women and girls forward and
forced them to sign the address.

THE PRESIDENTS SUMNER.
Preparations Making for His Stay at
BuZZard's Bay.

Washington, May S.-A complete ex-
ecutive office will be established at Gray
Gables for the presidents use this sum
mer, and, as arrangements have been
made for the transaction there of all
public business that will necessarily
come before him, it is probable'that his
departure for Buzzard's Bay will be made
as soon as the weather becomes oppres-
sive in Washington. Private Secretary
Thurber will be near enough so that he
can work with the president every day.
No news concerning appointments that
may be made, or other business trans
acted by the president, will. be furnished
to the public at Buzzard's Bay. The
facts will be sent to the white house in
Washington for announcement. All COM
munications with the departments will
be through the clerks in charge of the
white house. This method is taken to
avoid any necessity for officials to be in
attendance at Gray Gables.

extracts from Russian newspapers will
give an idea of the feeling in Russia re-
garding the latest developments in the
far east Commenting on Japan's ac-
uuiescence to the representations of the
power, the Journal commends wise de-
cisions." The Novoe Vremya considers
Japan's reply to the powers to be an
equivocal one, and says that it leaves the
pending questions open. The Novosti
admits the pacific effect of Japan's con
cessions, but insists that the japanese
occupation of portion of the Chinese
mainland must not be unlimited. The
Grashdanin warns Russia to consolidate
her position in the far east, claiming
that Japan will never forgive her for her
diplomatic defeat. The Sviet regards
Russia's diplomatic triumph as a great
defeat for Great Britain. The Bourse
Gazette advocates the three powers, Rus
STA, France and Germany, becoming the
guarantee for China's paying the indem-
nifty in consideration of Japan's forth
with evacuating Chinese territory.

speaking, is satisfied with the course

says: "We shall be the dupes Of Russia
