ALMOST every day the press
dispatches report some new
trust" or combination of cap
ital for the control of various
industries. Swiftly and surely
is the wealth of this country
driving the small manufacturer
to- the wall and monopolizing
the profits Of almost every in
dustry of coy importance what
ever. There seems no power
in the law or courts of the land
to stay this terrible onward
march of the trusts, and sac
fine HOW seems. not far dis
tant when the entire country
will be controlled by the mon
opoTy of wealth, when all. the
power will be vested in a
handful of multimiIlionaires,
and the rest of the people be
simply their hired workmen.
The aggregate wealth now rep
resented by the various trusts
or industrial combines is no
less than S2,7o2,768, 800. a
sum too stupendous for the
mind to- grasp IN its entirety.
And wealth is power. Com
bined capital can overcome all
opposition. The situation is a
grave one, and may yet devel
op an issue which will swallow
mp all other political issues. 1t

OUR War TAXES.

The principle that those who dance
must pay the fiddler is about to be eXem-
pliied in the new national tax, o. war
revenue bill. This goes into operation
July !, and is far-sweeping in its scope.
The following from The Outlook explains
the nature of the bill:
1t is estimated that 5000, 00O, 900 will be
raised by the special war taxes. OF
these the most important is the grad
uated tax on inheritances. 1t has the
disadvantage of duplicating a tax already
levied by some of the ate on inheri-
tances; it has the advantage of being
paid by the person taxed, who has no
opportunity to transfer it to another, of
being levied on those able to pay it with
out distress, and of being a tax neither
on Industry, income, nor even the tax
payers accumulations. but rather a sum
paid by one who has not earned his
wealth for his privilege in inheriting
that wealth. As has been said, once il
becomes a law very few legislators will
risk their political popularity by prOpos-
ing to abolish a tax thus falling directly
on unearned wealth. I%nheritances under
ten thousand dollars are exempt the
provisions for those above that sum are
so admirable that we reproduce their
exact language:
a tax on inheritances and legacies eX-
ceeding $4,000 in personal property is
provided as follows:
On sums between $4,000 to $50, 600
First, on benefits to the lineal issue or
lineal ancestor, brother or sister of the
deceased, at the rate of 70 cents for
every 500.
Second-To the descendant of a broth
er or sister at the rate of Sl.50 for
every 500.
Third-To the brother or sister of the
father or mother, or a descendant of a
brother or sister of the father or mother,
at the rate of 50 for every 800.
Fourth-To the brother or sister of
the grandfather or grandmother, or a

A CoALlNG STATION.

While much valuable space in the
newspapers of the country has been de-
voted to telling how important it is that
the United States should be possessed of
a coaliug station in the Pacific and on
these grounds insisting upon the holding
of the PHILIPPINE islands, or at least a
port therein, for the purpose, and while
representatives in Washington have been
~exhausting the gray matter under their
hats evolving new arguments on the
same subject and with the same end in
view-while all this pother and talk and
turmoil has been going on, we repeat, it
appears that Old Glory has all along
floated over an island 200 miles west of
Hawaii, and nothing in the world is to
hinder our using 1t as a coaling station
whenever we chose to accept it from its
American owner.
According to a press dispatch from
San Francisco, the island belongs to
Capt. Foster, commander of a sailing
vessel plying between the Orient and
San Francisco and is called Marcus of
Weeks. He found 1t while out cruising
and took possession. 1t was at that
time unclaimed and unoccupied. BY
consent of James G. Blaine, then secre-
tary of state, the American flag was
floated over the island and still remains
there, being sanctioned by Great Britain
and all the powers. The island is in PA
north, and 1912 east. 1t is about five
miles long and is densely covered with
trees and s%hrubbery. 1t has a white,
sandy beach and near the centre is a
small knoll rising about 200 feet above
the sea. 1t is near the track of vessels
from Honolulu to Yokohama and has
been offered to the Unitad States for a
coaling station.

CROP BULLETIN.

A Fairly Good Week for Crops Ends
June 81.
The weather has been fairly favorable
for farm work, except that showers have
been too frequent for haymaking in parts
of New Hampshire. Excepting the cool
nights in the northern part of the dis
trict, the conditions have been generally
favorable to the advancement of all
crops Quite a heavy frost occurred on
the 23d in lowlands in the vicinity of
GoldenIidge, Aroostook county, Me-, and
a light frost, without dana Ze, at Clare
mont, N. H. Hail storms occurred in
many sections of New Hampshire, Yer
mont and Massachusetts on the 22d and
23d. Considerable damage resulted to veg
citation in the ~neighborhood of Washing
ton Sullivan county, n. H. The week is
considered the best of the season in
many sections of Massachusetts, Rhode
Island and Connecticut; the sunshine
caused rapid growth of crops, and the
fair weather favored farm pursuits.
The crop conditions continue In a gen
orally satisfactory condition, and have
improved somewhat in about all sections.
Haying is in advance from a week to ten
days. Hoeing is a week to a fortnight
late. The result of hay making and
hoeing coming at the same time is foul
ness from weeds and overworked farm
ers. A want of rain is reported from all
sections of Rhode Island The same
applies to Connecticut, except that an
excess of moisture in the soil is reported
Il, enOna cnationc Of Nauy Onlan aornfy
In the larger portion of this state the
drought is becoming injurious pastures
are becoming brown and strawberries
are showing the effect of dry weather.
The prospects of the district, as a whole,
are fully up to the average.
Corn is improving IN about all Sec
tions, but is still backward. The sum
shine and showers have improved the
color, though the cool weather in north
ern sections has been unfavorable to
rapid growth. Rye and oats are show
ing some rust in western Massachusetts.
The rust is also eilecting the oats in sec
tions of Fairfield county, Conn. As a
whole the grain crop is promising.
The caterpillars have about ceased
their ravages, but the apple crop in
many sections has been destroyed.
Most damage was done in parts of Chit
tenden county, VT. The town of Shell
burne is located in a heavy apple pro-
ducing district where the crop will be
but a small per cent of that which was
promised. The forest worm has wrought
great damage to the sugar maple. in sec
tions of Windsor county, VT. 1t is be-
lieved that the trees in many instances
are permanently injured. The apple
crop of the district will probably be an
average one The indications are farvor-
able to a good supply of pears, plums
and cherries.
Field and garden vegetables have, as a
rule, made good progress. The potato
crop in all sections is very promising.
1t seemed unusually free from Injurious
insects. The early crop is blooming in
northern sections, and in southern por-
lions the new potatoes are nearly ready
for market. Asparagus is still being cut
in Massachusetts. Garden truck gene
rally is in excellent condition and very
plentiful,
