PA, APRIL 81, 1896.

Last summer when Quay was being
fought for state chairman of the Re
publican party the local big guns were
against him as matter of principle"
so they claimed. His record, it was
alleged (and very truthfully tool, was of
a character that compelled them to try
and defeat him. They could not afford
to see their party dcliled by the lea
dership of a man who had been guilty
of every crime in the decalogue. 1t was
all matter of principle" then, but to
know that the average Republicans
principle is not even skin deep it is only
necessary to watch these same local big
gnns whooping it up for the boss of the
G. o. p, who last week was endorsed
for the Republican nomination for pres-
dent If these lackeys ever turn their
eyes inward what abject slaves they
must see.

means for causing prices to advance.
Production can be restricted only when
there is complete or partial monopoly
of sources of supply or machinery OF
production. Monopolies are of two kinds
natural and artificial. Natural depend
upon the limitations of nature artificial,
upon the limitations or restrictions OF
legislation. Mines, railroads and tele.
graphs are natural monopolies Patents
and copyrights produce artificial mo.
nopolies. Natural monopolies, however,
are often strengthened by tariff and 9th.
er trade restricting laws.
Cost OF production may be lowered:
First.-By reducing the cost of selling
a product.
Second. BY more economic distribu.
tion.
Third. by working only the best OF
most favorably located plants
Fourth. BY adoption of the best ma
chinery and methods previously in use in
any Of the plants.
Fifth.-Bya better utilization of ma.
terials and the saving of waste products.
Sixth.-By reducing wages.
Seventh. BY reducing prices paid fol
raw materials
The power of trusts to advance prices
of products and to reduce wages and
cost of raw material is very great The
exercise of such power is considered
harmful and is unlawful. The power Of
trusts to reduce cost of production iu any
of the first five ways mentioned is also
very great, and its exercise is considered
beneficial to mankind Therefore trusts
are potentially both good and bad. Is it
possible to get rid of the bad and to save
the good in them? If not, should we
destroy them?
In the modern sense of the word
trusts first appeared between 1860 and
1870, though some feeble efforts at com
bination were made 200 years before
They, however, attracted but little at
tention until about 1882. Since then
their growth has been remarkable. Out
of 491 trusts, formed previous to 1894,
Z were formed between 1860 and 1870
(mostly railroad, telegraph and express
pools), 80 between 1870 and 1880, 327
between 1882 and 1890, and 17S between
1890 and 1894. One hundred and TWEEN
ty were formed in 1899 and 1890. This
list is incomplete, especially for later
years, but it indicates a rapid growth,
and that trusts are usually successful in
increasing profits.
The nominal capital of the Leather
trust is $12G, 1000, 600; Beef, 800, 900,
600; Standard Oil, $97, 900, 600; Sugar,
$75, ,000,0 900; Rubber, $40, 600, 900; Cot
tonseed Oil, $3S, ,000,0 900; Lead, $780,.
600, 900. These seven trusts have nom.
inal capital of over $500, 900, 600. None
of these trusts depends mainly upon nat
ural monopolies. The Anthracite Coal
trust now represents railroad and min.
ing interests valued at over 81 900, ,000,
900, and the Joint Traffic association
represents railroads with capitalization
of nearly $4,000. 100000. According to

MISSION RECIPROCITY,

Most people are interested il missions
of one kind on another, because in its
larger sense every enterprise pushed out
side Of its present limits is mission.
However, missions have not been salts
factory i'll foreign fields and should not
be expected to be so, as mission boards
have been slow to adopt modern meth
ods.
1t is interesting to note the idea of
reciprocity that seems to be springing
up between the great historic religions.
This is not the result of an agreement,
but one of those providential movements
that overeach the limitations of men.
Within the last two years Mohammed
Webb has opened Moslem mission in
New York and has received consider
able attention. The worlds congress of
religions was a demonstration of the
new method. Since then a Buddhist
mission has been opened in New York
under the leadership of Fl. Dharmepala.
He represents the Naha- Bohdi society of
Calcutta. These movements will be re-
ceiyed gladly by all fair minded men as
giving us an opportunity to study these
religions at first hand, as much of our
secondhand information is untrust-
worthy.
Another curious illustration of the
action and reaction in missions is found
in one Of our largest western cities. Re-
Gently number of orthodox clergymen
organized Jewish mission and are
anxious to convert the children of Abra-
ham to Christianity. While this move
ment was being put on foot the leading
rabbi of the same city was approached
by number of Christians and asked if
they could take membership in his
church and ON what conditions. He
called meeting of his church board,
and after due deliberation they decided
to accept all applicants who would ex-
press belief in God.
AT the present time there are more
Christians belonging to and joining
Jewish churches than Jews joining
Christian churches. This state of affairs
is a very interesting study for the stu
dent and gives another factor in the
vexed problem of comparative religions.

TRUSTS AND MoNoPoLIEs.

The name trust first came into use
after the formation of the Standard Oil
trust in 1882. 1t comes from the fact
thar trustees received and held in trust
the stocks of various competing corpora
tions As used today the word crust
means any capitalistic combination of
competitors the object Gf which is to in
crease profits. Such combination may
consist of a loose agreement or "under-
standing" or it may mold many cor
porations into one or more great corpo-
rations 1t is easy to stop competition in
some industries, but difficult to do so in
others.
There are two ways of increasing
profits:
First. By advancing the prices of
finished products.
Second. BY diminishing cost of pro-
duction.
Both of these ends are aimed at by
trusts. Restricted production is the usual
Freeland tribune. (Freeland, Pa.) 1888-1921, 1896-04-27

Byron w. IIolt's article in an adioin-
ing column on TRUSTS and Monopolies'
is suggestive in many ways. Trust eX
tortons are costing the people of the
United States 81 ZOO, 600 600 more each
year for what they consume than they
should pay. This is an excess tax of S14
per capita, or $40 for each family. This
amount would give a college education
in every four years to 100000 pupils,
or one-SiXteenth of the population, allow
ing $3.50 year for each student, or it
would pay for 900. 900 homes at 81 900
each year, and the vast impetus that
this would give to trade and industry
would leave no man idle

The most important question now
before the councilmen of Freeland bor-
ongh is to procure fire protection for the
residents of Biryanton. This large sec
tion of the town is growing year by
year and is getting too valuable to be
given over to the mercy of the flames.
Something should be done this summer
to place the people there on an equal
footing with the rest of us, and those
who live where they can have the bene-
fit of fire protection should agitate the
matter and help their less fortunate
brethren ON the Hill.

She Never Told Her Age.

1t was the busy season at great bank
Long rows of women, some anxious and
depressed looking, all of them with an un
miStakable air of weariness were waiting
their turn with books to be presented fol
the semiannual interest. A pompous and
many buttoned official paced back and
forth with a look of determination to keep
order OF die on his grim visage.
The woman at the window was new
depositor, and there was a longer wait
than usual, while she answered all the
questions relative to her genealogy, and
that of her sisters, and her cousins, and
her aunts--information which one must
always give to great bank before it will
condescend to receive, and sometimes lose,
your money.
At last came the fatoful question
"What is your ageF'
A faint blush stole over the faded
cheeks, the antiquated and corkscrew curls
quivered with agitation as she murmur-
ed, "Id rather not tell, please"
The bank clerk meant business. He
had no sympathy with the maiden mod
esty of the trembling aspirant TO financial
dignity. "Oh, but you must tell!'' he re-
piled, somewhat brusquely.
The blushes grew painful, but there was
still loophole of escape. At least all the
world should not know her age, and rails
ing herself on tiptoe so as to bring her face
close to the window-for she was short of
stature-she said, May 1 whisper it,
pleaseP" And the woman behind will
never know how old she was. Chicago

A curious form of life insurance is
springing up in French manufacturing
towns under the name of La Fourmi
(the anti. The popularity is that the
longer man lives the less he becomes
entitled to. The payment of 81 month
assures the payment of $1,000 to the
heirs of man dying before the age Of
3S, the payment diminishing proper
tionately to $50 at 81. The idea seems
to be that if a man dies young his chill
dren are likley to be in want, but that
when he is so they will be able to earn
their living.

To the Sufferers OF Rheumat ism
Emerson,s Portrait of One Statesman.

In Ralph Waldo Emerson's essay OH
Behavior" occurs the following: "We
had, in Massachusetts,, an old statesman
who had sat all his life in courts and in
chairs of state without overcoming an ex-
treme irritability of face, voice and bear
ing; when he spoke, his voice would not
serve him; it cracked it broke, it wheez-
ed, it piped; little cared he; he knew that
it had got to pipe or wheeze or screech his
argument and his indignation. When he
sat down after speaking, he seemed in a
sort of fit and held on to his chair with
both hands, but underneath all this irri-
liability was puissant will, firm and ad-
yancing, and a memory in which lay in
Ordor and method like geologic strata ev-
cry fact of his history, and under the con-
troll of his will" To whom does Emerson
refer?-Boston Transcript.

all the question OF God, eternity and the

doctrine Of theology but has been discussed
In tho last ten years by the secular news

the news Of all the earth bearing on reIi-
gious subjects, and then they scatter the
news abroad again.

such great influence, they may give all
that influence for God and the betterment
