Beymer and taken to the City Hall by
Beymer and Bickerton, where he was

ence. McIntire lives on the upper por-

William. He is evidently little off

Condition of Working People.

A stricking Illustration of the differ
cnce in the condition Of the working
people of Europe and those Of Ameri-
ca is furnished by contrasting the
steerage passengers who go West with
those that go East on the big Atlantic
steamers. Steamship doctors say that
on the westward voyage they are al
ways compelled TO use many gallons Of
disinfectants in the steerage. On the
eastward voyage they use none. EN-
isrants from Europe to the United
States are beaded together like so
many cattle, and live in way that
would disgrace noble animals. After
two or three years in America, when
they go back to their homes, they de-
mand clean quarters and comfortable
hunks and the use of bathroom.
When they go West they carry their be-
lonslngs tied up in handkerchief or
iammed into bag. When they go
East they have good trunk, and some
times several OF them.

Manila HEMP.

Every engineer knows what Manila
hemp is. but few are aware that it is
The product OF a species Of banana
which is cultivated In certain localities
in the Philippine Islands. The plant,
called by the natives 'abaca," throws
ND 4 cluster of sheating leaf stalks TO
4 height of twenty or thirty feet, which
spread out at the top into crown OF
huge. undivided leaves. When it IS
three years old it is cut down, and the
stalks are torn into strips. These
strips. while still fresh ARE drawn be-
tween Il knife and q wooden block, AMI
the soft ceiluious matter is removed.
The fibre is then hung up to dry IN the
open air until it is fit for use. Eacn
stalk gives about 4 pound OF hDre. ana
two natives will turn out about twenty
five pounds day. The inside nDre'
which is thin and weak. is used by the
natives for making articles OF dress.
The familiar Manila rope is made from
the fibre of the outer layer, which IS
hard and strong. The whole supply OF
Manila hemp practically comes from
The Philippines. and the Cnlted states
consume il per cent Of 1t. Last year
This country took 41I,4 bales out OF
the So5.020 bales exported. Great Brit
ain coming next with 3S3.lS2 bales.

On Thursday ,Nr. Ninklcrs bill to

The Question of Salary.

There being a proposition to increase
certain salaries in the State Of Massa-
chusetts, the Springfield Republican
declares it is no time for salary raising,
evcn though the stock markets are
booming. The great industries and
business of Massachusetts,, are not find
ing it easy to increase their rewards
above the pro6tless point of the past
five years Of depression, and are still
turning out products at the low prices
which have enabled public officers to
make their salaries so further than ever
before. Speaking Of public salaries
and particularly Of the governor s
recommendation Of an increase for the

lican complies the following table,

court in each CT the New England

A Great Year for Trusts.

The St. Paul Pioneer Press contends
that the year 1898 was one of the most
wonderfulin the history of this country
and tries to suStainS the statement with
the following bill Of particulars:
!. Largest wheat crop except that OF
1891.
,. Highest price recorded for wheat
except in 1888.
>. Largest cotton crop.
/. Largest export Of breadstutfS.
5. Largest exports of manufactured
goods.
&. Largest aggregate exports OF pro-
duce and merchandise.
:. Largest production Of iron ere.
s. Largest prodution Of pig giron
9. Largest production of coal.
10. Largest production Of copper.
II. Largest production OF silver cN-
cept that Of 1892.
u. Largest production of gold.
l3. Largest goli holdings.
Il Largest per capita circulation OF
all forms Of money.
Is. Largest aggregate bank clearings.
Is. Largest aggregate railroad earn
ings.
il. Largest aggregate sale Of bonds.
Is. Largest aggregate sales Of stocks
on New York Stock Exchange since
1882.
l9. Smallest number of failures and
smallest aggregate liabilities since lS92.
The Pioneer Press should add one
more item to its list. Last year was a
great year for trusts. but our cotempa-
rary seems to have overlooked this
item. The number Of trusts formed
last year is put down by the New York
Herald at ninety-two. The amount OF
their common capital stock is 1851 ,961, :
300, and Of preferred 1884. 79l, 900.
The largest Of these combines are the
American Tin Plate company, $50, 600, :
600; Continental Plug Tobacco Co..
$50, O00:000; Consolidated Gas Co..
New York, S37, 900, 900; Federal Steel
Co., 500, OOO,O 600; Metropolitan Street
Railway Co., $40, 600, 900; Pacific Stetes
Telephone Co (, $50, 900, ,0OG; Gasllght
and Coke company, of Chicago, s3O,-
900, 900; Print Cleth Pool, $50, 600. 600;
United States Biscuit company, $50
600, 900; Writing Paper company, s4O,-
600. GEO. If it was not for the forma-
ton of these gigantic oppressors OF the
masses and the existence of the gold
standard the array of facts set forth by
the Pioneer Press would mean great
business activity and prosperity to all
who are willing to work. But on ac-
count of the existence Of these things
the prosperity that we hear so much
about is confined to the few who com
pose the trusts or have large capital.
One of the items put down in the enum-
eratien is the large cotton crop. We
of this section know how much pros
perity this large cotton crop brought to
The farmers and merchants Of the
South. The same is the case with
many Of the other items. No doubt
the trusts prospered during the past
year but the masses did not.
