A PAPER TRUST ORGANIZED.

News from Boston published in the
New York papers, inform us that the
paper trust has at last been formed
Something over year ago an effort was
made to form a trust on the output of
the leading paper mills of the country,
which manufacture the white paper upon
which the newspapers are published.
That effort fell through and the average
price of news to the manufacturer re-
manned at cents per pound.
Since the election, however, the effort
to levy tax of $5,OO0,OO0 annually upon
the newspaper publishers of the country
has been renewed and according to the
reports sent out from Boston has this
time proven successful.
The proposition is to pool the output of
all the leading mills and raise the price
from to 21s cents per pound at the mills.
The extra u cent means 100000 annual
ly to the owners and controllers of the
mills in addition to the legitimate profit
that went to them while competition kept
the price at cents.
With only here and there an exception
all the leading newspapers of the coun-
try advocated the election of the candl-
dates of the trusts and combines in the
last contest and but for the fact that
those papers that advocated the election
of the candidate who said openly that If
elected ne would use all the power vested
in him as chief executive of the United
States to destroy the trusts, will have to
nay the additional tax levied by the re-
Gently organized paper trust, there would
be no grounds left for complaint. 1t is
but right and proper however, that the
public press which abandoned the people
in the hour of need and took up the fight
for the trusts and combines against the
people should be called upon to pay a
partof the price Of their folly-yea, worse
than folly. If Mr.. Bryan had been elect
ed there would not have been organized a
paper trust to collect s5,000,000 of
extra profit per year from the newspa-
per publishers of the country.
Mr. Bryan was not elected. but Mr..
Mckinley, who says free trade breeds
trusts, was elected and the way is clear,
the paper trust has come and many,
many other trusts and combines will be
formed. The newspapers are not the
only people upon whom an extra tax
will be levied.

Communion with God.

Prayer is not simply petition. It is
largely that, to be sure but it is more.
1t is communion with God. 1t Is q
means Of drawing nearer to him. It
enables the believer to become fami-
liar with God.
The little child does not simply ask
his father for gifts he communicates
his ideas to his !; he speaks of lis child
ish hopes, and sorrows, and joys.
And the father does not say only, II
will grant this, or withhold that" He
talked with his child of various things !;
he lifts up the child's ideas by the
power of his own. Child and father
hold communion-become intimate.
So it may be, SO it ought to be, with
the child of God. In proportion to
ones ripeness of Christian experience,
is his desire for this communion and
fellowship. The devout soul echoes
the psalmist's words: "My soul
thirsteth for God my heart and my
flesh cry out for the living God"
This communion, moreover, in
creases ones ripeness of Christian ex-
perfence. There is no better method
of growth in grace than the habit of
constant communing with the Father
of spirits. 1t is the secret of progress
heavenward. 1t explains the differ
ence in the rate of advance of Chris
tains.

Weekly Bulletin.
ABBEVILLE, S. G.

In answer to this argument-of argu.
ment it can be called-I would point
out that the preservation.of there lives
cannot be looked upon as sacred duty
at all. Providence has already placed
His brand Of unfitness upon them, and
it is only by our persistent efforts in
opposition to His will that they con-
tinue to exist. 1t ia Gods desire that
they should die, and in the case of
those deprived Of reason, who make
up the majority, we would not be
interfering any more with the Divine
order o. things in releasing them
from their sufferings than we are when
soothing the pains Of persons with
reason who suffer from an incurable
disease. In both cases, Providence has
seen we'll to decree that death shall
come, and that it shall be preceded by
grievous suffering. And in either case
we, in the exercise of our free will and
reason, endeavour to curtail that suf-
fering so far as possible. Indeed, it is
decidedly easier to justify the euthah-
asia of the mindless than the reliev-
ing of pain in the ordinary mortal for
in the latter case the theulogian could
plead-as is his wont-that the suffer-
ing dealt. out Is in reality blessing in
disguise, being intended as purging
and purifying agent. But in the case
of the mindless no such plea could be
put forward, as where there is no rea-
son to affect there can he no gain from
the physical torture.
But [ refuse to regard pain or dis
ease as heaven-sent purge. 1t is a
curse. 1t is the reasonable consequent
Of evil antecedents. The idiot is no
more an accident of Nature than Is
the drunkenness of the drunkard.
Why should we grant painless death
to our suffering dogs and refuse it to
suffering humanity? We are ready at
any moment to sacrifice a thousand,
,r ten thousand, useful lives in the de-
'ence of property or upon some polit-
cal pretext, which generally means
he advancement of mau or party. |
Why, then, refuse painless death to
. few, if thereby we can relieve the |
innocent of the curse put upon them
~ their ancestors?
