it is claimed, have combined to prevent
shoes at 50 pair becoming popular.
Manufacturers of shoes claim, and adj
vance facts in support of the statement,
that there is not the least excuse for the
exorbitant prices now charged for tanned
hides by the leather trust In the early
part of the summer leather went to- a
price which jobbers regarded as it's nat
ural and legitimate rate, but which the
trust seems to have considered as a
shameless cut into it's profits. Members
of the trust concerns, who managed to
get themselves abundantly interviewed,
declared that the low price Of leather was
due to the immense influx of cattle and
the low prices accepted by western stock
ra:sers. Curiously enough-and in utter
defiance of the natural laws of things
the beef which lived inside those cheap
hides went to an exorbitant price and
the secretary of agriculture came to the
front with vitriolic arraignment of the
beef combine" 49,.
THE SQUEEZE COMES.
These things being known and cons:d
cred, the manufacturers of boots and
shoes watched the trust anxiously. Those
who were wise-and had the money
bought all the leather they could lay
their hands on. The others forlornly
waited for the inevitable squeeze" They
got it. There was no decrease in the num-
Der of cattle shipped to the big slaugn-
tering centers and no advance in the
prices asked by the stock owner for his
animal--h:de, hair, hoof, horn, beef, tall
low and all:-but the price of leather be-
gan to emulate the Nmisused gasoline
stove-it went up. The jobbers began to
grumble. They said uncomp]imentary
things about the leather trust and insin-
uated other things concerning the beef
killers at the stockyards. just when this
talk. was at its height the firms at the
stockyards amused themselves by let
ting go 100000 hides which they had
been holding on to. This Immediately
assured the jobbers that the leather trust
was bent upon bull movement which
would keep the tanners busy, even if it
did not benefit anybody but the members
Of the trust.
HELPING HIS FRIENDS.
1t is a fact we'll known in the leather
trade that the cheapest and best leather
for rough wear is made from combine
ton of the dried hides of South America
with the Iemlock bark of North America
The South American hides are imported
principally by the leather trust, which,
early in it's career, gave what is co.loqu:-
ally known as the "freeZe out" to it's COM
petitors, the brokers and others, who for
nlerly obtained all the consignments of
hides from the Argentine Republic and
Uruguay. BY advancing its price on

mountain in thousand tiny rills, more
or less, and of almost as many colors
These gather themselves into pools and
lakelets on the mountain side, covering
an area of about 200 acres. Overlooking
their boundaries, they slowly trickle
down the sides OF the mountain, forming
small cliffs, the most wonderful in the
world. From a distance one can hardly
believe what the eyesight reveals-white

blue, red, pink, separate and in manifold

When through with this beautiful
painting process these waters again come
together, and then, as if full of mischief
like pack Of small boys trying to play
hide and seek, dive down and remain un-
der the ground for space OF two miles,
and then flow out from the mouth Of a
cOnvenitaas one OF the dearest, most
beautiful green streams imaginable.
Where these waters emerge from the
mountains into the little lakes they are
hot, boiling hot. During their dark,
underground journey they fall several
hundred feet and also many degrees in
holiness, so that when they again SEE
daylight they are much cooler. This,
then, is Boiling river, an underground
mountain stream of hot water.

The indications now pointing TO the
election of Mr.. Mckinley may be safely
said TO be positive and conclusive. The
shadow of doubt which, until recently,
hung over number ofthe more import
ant states has been effectually buried
beneath the surging wave of impending
republican success in one of which,
Illinois, the most important of all. the
opposition is said to have abandoned
the field for other territory offering
chances less remote for the success Of a
hopeless, dying cause. The enhanced
prospect for republican success is having
its effect in the Frightening to some ex
tent the dark horizon of commercial
hope, causing faint streaks Of light to
illumine the ebony cloud Of depression
and dependency that has hung for
years like pail over the nation, para
Lying the very heart of industry. and
seriously impeding the country's ma
terial progress Confidence quickens
with the increased hope of republican
success at the polls. Ben Harrison spoke
wisely when he declared: "The pros
pect of republican success never did dis
turb business"
