WE call the attention of the vot-
ers of the fifth civil district to the
announcement in another column
of Mr.. o. G. Hudson who is can
didate for assessor of this district.
Mr.. Hudson is comparatively well
known to the people of the district,
and his qualifications to diecharge
the duties of the Office to which he
aspires are in no way wanting. He
is clever, social gentleman, and if
elected assessor will discharge the
duties involved upon him in a cour-
ageous, able and upright manner.
He is a Democrat, and his claims
are subject to the action of his par
ty in primary election, and we ask
that our readers give Mr.. Hudson'a
claims due consideration.

provisions of the law prohibiting the

TIE IRON COMBINE.

The talk of an international iron
pool which shall include the principal
ironmasters OF the United States. Eng
land and the European continent, or
practically the whole world. is non
sense. While the Europeans might
think twice before refusing to enter
such an agreement. which would shut
off the competition of the Americans
who are now crowding them out of the
worlds markets. the Americans. who
now have the whip handle would never
agree 10 such an arrangement When
American manufacturers of iron and
steel can outbid England and all Eu-
rope i'm the Russian and Japanese mar
kets it is not likely that they will enter
into an agreement with their old-time
and finally defeated rivals tina. would
protect them from the competition that
is inuring so greatly to the benefit Of
the American ironmaster.
But while the idea of an international
iron trust is nonsensical. it is evidently
true that a monster iron combine has
its tightening grip on the American.
the home, market. The capital behind
this combine is said to be not less than
S300OO0.000 No secret is made of the
unlawful combination. In fact, We are
rather boasJfully told that it is a sure
thing" that the men i'm it are in
position now TO say how much iron ore
shall be converted into iron and steel
and at what prices it shall be sold.
No, only are they i'm a position 90 say
this. but they have already begun to
say it, The ore pool" which seems
20 include an northern producers east
of the Missouri recently fixed the ore
output for the present year at 10.50o00o
tons. At the instance of the monster
combine this figure has been reduced
to- $4,000 tons. The combine also
puts the price Of steel billets at Pitts
burg up to $50 per ton. an advance Of
So.
The manager Of one of the companies

This new pool gets to first principles
and runs the whole thing" That is to
say. it gets back from bar iron to ore
and from prices 20 production. thus con-
trolling the whole thing and getting a
grip on prices from which there can be
no escape
This very frank declartion, as the
Chicago Chronicle says. shows in what
utter disregard and contempt the laws
against combination. State and nation
al. are held by those who find they can
bleed the public by combining. These
laws forbid combining for the purpose
of restricting production. sitting COM

denounce these acts as criminal and
prescribe penalties for their commits
