Schools Cost IS, 514 ,3S5.S9 Last Year.
The State Board of Education has issued
advance sheets of their report showing
the moneys used for maintaining the
schools in this State from July l, 1896, to
June 30, 1897. The total expenditure for
the year was 1854, 1859. The total
sum available for school purposes for the
year was 1925, S43.OS.
There are three sources from which
money is obtained for school purposes: IN
money available from the State school
fund, being 100000 annually, with the
state tax and surplus revenue; (2) the
district school tax which is raised by local
taxation in addition to the amount raised
for the state school tax; (3) money avail
able from the issuance of bonds, &c.
Teachers were paid $3,17O.74O.48. Fuel
and janltors cost 1886, 345.97. Buildings
and repairs, exclusive of interest, cost
1868, 794.72. Debt and interest absorbed
1888, 1873. The school census cost 500.
3O7.O6; manual training 1926. 81 text
books and apparatus 1852. 49, S; inciden-
tails $346, 294.S1.
These figures should not be classed with
the usual dry statistical reports furnished
from many sources of expenditure. They
are fraught with interest to every citizen.
Future prosperity and the welfare of the
rising generation depend upon our educa-
tional system, and these big eigbt-fgured
totals show New Jersey to be generous in
its outlay for educational purposes.
The total number of teachers employed
in the state was $500; of these S04 were
men and 5,065 women. The average sal.
airy of the men for the school year of ten
months was $S1.39 per month, and $4S. Is
for the women.
The total amount available IN Burling-
ton county for the year was $148, 938. 40,
from the following sources State school
fund, state tax and surplus revenue, $50,
1890; district tax $51 ,630.21 available
from sale of bonds, &C., $l3,S65.19. OF
this amount $138, 2O7.20 was expended
leaving balance of SO. 73l. 30.

When your stomach begins to trouble
you, it needs help. The help it needs, is
to digest your food, and, until it gets it,
you won't have any peace. Stomach
trouble is very distressing, very obstinate,
very dangerous. Many of the most dan
gerous diseases begin with simple indi-
gestion. The reason is that indigestion

the system and allows disease germs to
attack it. The antidote is Shaker Digest

A colored man, farm laborer and a
prominent physician, all of Mount Holly,
expect soon to have money to burn, and
we hope their expectations will be real
lied. Since the first of the month they
have been engaged in locating hidden
treasure in the Delaware river, not many
miles from Bristol Some time since when
a boat pulled up anchor, there came with
it large copper box that was said to be
securely fastened with padlocks. The
strong wind caused the boat to rock, and
this made the box slip back into the
water before it could be secured. AS it
turned in rolling off the anchor there was
clash and jingling of metal inside. The
ringing sound denoted small pieces, and
soon the news was spread of the sunken
treasure, some alleging that it may have
been stolen express box thrown away
to cover up some extensive robbery
Whether this be true or not, the contents
of the box are believed to be valuable, and
those who are in the secret are making
efforts to recover the same.
The colored man heard the story while
carting potatoes to Bristol. and for short
we will call him William. There seems
to be striking coincidence about William
receiving sucn startling news. for the rea-
son that he is In position to properly
grapple with the mysteries of the case.
William was raised by a gentleman
named Marshall, now living in the east
ern states, and who owned some gold
mines. To locate the precious metal in
the rocks, Mr.. Marshall used scientific in
and one of these he gave TO
William, who has already put it to a sue
cessful test. The machine consists of
steel needle, the mechanism of which is
enclosed in glass case, and the whole is
suspended by means of rattan handles
When within reasonable distance of the
object sought for the needle will point in
that direction, and when directly over it
the needle will drop. By this means the
delusive coin has been located, and on Fri
day, the 9th inst, the trio made efforts to
raise 1t with boats, ropes, graphing irons,
etc. The hooks caught an object which
they thought was the real thing. They
tugged away at it heroically, and when
near the surface it was seen that they had
an old stump. This was removed to a
safe distance in order not to interfere
with future operations.
The men were not discouraged, how
ever, as the needle still indicated the
of the metal, and other attempts
are to be made to raise it. If they fail
diver is to be employed to explore the
bottom of the river at this particular spot.
Several Sunday trips have been made to
the place, and while the party thought
they were working on the ,cuiet, they did
not know that they were being watched
through field glasses by parties on the
Jersey shore

TRUSTS AND MoNoPoL1Es.

c. A. G. jackson of the Montpelier Argus
and Patriot delivered lecture upon the evils
of trusts and monopolies in the town hall
Wednesday evening. His subject was the
dangers of concentrated and accommodating
wealth. He quoted authorities To uphold
his statement that, while in itself the in
creased wealth of combinations is not OBJ
jectionable, such increase is invariably
made at the expense of the poorer classes
To illustrate this point Mr.. jackson cited
the methods employed 10y the sugar trust,
which was one of 100 trusts which he men
toned. When organized, all the plants of
the sugar trust were valued at $l0,900,-
600 Its capital stock was SIT $50 900.
The trust Immediately closed seven re-
fineries and operated plants actually worth
but 81, 100000. The capital stock of the
plants closed was withdrawn and then
bonds were issued for SO, 900, 600 so that
the bonds amounted TO more than all the
property that the trust owned. The trust
then issued common stock to the amount
of S37, 100000 and the same amount of
preferred stock, making in all S75 900, 600.
The trust paid dividend of per cent on
its preferred stock and regularly pays from
II TO 10 per cent on its common stock.
Such combinations as this are simply plum
dering the people when they are able to pay
such enormous dividends on stock which
represents neither property nor service,
and their prices will never be lower than
they are compelled to make them.
They are seeking a further opportunity
to plumber the people when they ask for a
tariff on their product to prevent foreign
competi ion after they have destroyed com
petition at home, for whether or not tariff
is tax, a tariff on trust-controlled pro
duct is a tax that goes into the Golfers OF
the trust and not into the United States
treasury. Trusts work injury to society
by their tendency to mOnOpolize industry
and to drive the small producers out Of
business, defeating in this way the indie
pendent impulses of American character
They also acquire political as well as Al
economic power. Tending also to suppress
individual effort, trusts are not in accord
with our theory of government. In ad
ditlon to this they have a tendency to de-
stroy our system of government. They arr
forbidden by the Federal statutes and by
the laws of many states 80 that their hghl
to maintain an existance must necessarily
exert corrupting influence. The question
we have to consider is how to check thes,
combinations, and end their unjust conse
| quences without violence, and without dis
turbing acquired rights or arousing an
| archistic tendencies.
