SLOT GAS METRES.

London News: The penny-in-the-slot
gas metre introduced from Liverpool by
the South Metropolitan Gas company
three or four years ago has been an as
tonishing success, and a further develop
ment of the idea is now being tried. It
has been a success, at any rate, so far as
thea attainment of a wide popularity may
be considered to constitute success.
though it is understood that the gas
light and coke companies does not find it
pay. On the other sid of the water it
pays very we'll. and they have nearly
SO, 900 customers and are adding to them
at the rate of 300 or 400 a week. These
are all penny customers, and they bring
into the company's exchequer somewhere
about 200, 900 pounds a year, so that this
development has done much to neutralize
any injury the electric light may have in
flicted. So satisfied is the with
the result of its new departure that it is
now getting out shilling in the SLOT and
half crown in the SLOT metres for Gus
toners a cut or two above the penny peo-
pie. One great advantage the mpa
has In this system is, of course, that there
is no trouble and no difficulty in getting
in money. NO penny, no gas" is the
principle, and it will be the same with the

During the month of March this year,
the total capital of trusts Incorporated in
New Jersey alone with capital more
mar ten millions each amounts to one
thousand and five millions of dollars.
l asked for reports from the secretaries
or state of every state in the union show
ing the number and capital of corpora
IONS with capital over one million dol
lars each, organized from January /,
1898, to March 1, 1899. The figures which
l received showed beyond question that
practically all Of the trusts are organized
under the laws of New Jersey and New
1ork-a very small proportion in New
York.
We all know that most of the trusts
are conceived in New York because cap
ital is concentrated there, but it seems
That they cross the river to New JERSEY
to get the license to live.
Do YOU think that 1 am prejudiced if /
suggest that the trust evil might be
cured if all the other states should ex-
tend an invitation to New Jersey to Sc
cede from the union. This, however,
might be embarrassing just now Our
vice-president and attorney general are
both citizens of New Jersey.
l am satisfied that a large part of the
evils resulting from trusts would no
longer exist if states and especially New
Jersey, did not grant sue liberal char
tiers. l wish I a the space to mention
the powers granted by New Jersey to the
Federal Steel company. 1t is a trust with
two hundred millions capital. 1t can do
anything from running a blacksmith
shop to building vessels. It's charter is
perpetual and it's power almost unlimited.
1t can operate anywhere in the United
States unless absolutely prohibited by
each state. For these privileges it paid
New Jersey a $4,000 Incorporation fee
and a $751; 0 yearly franchise tax.
l believe that government and munich
pal ownership and operation of railroad,
street railways. gas, electric light, water
and other public utilities will help solve
the problems which arise from the en-
of corporate capital.
It ought not to be a difficult problem to
suppress the trust. It's gets it's life, it's
charter from the state. If it operates
against public policy why can not the
state end its existence?
AS at present organized the trust is a
conspiracy against the individual bust
ness mar 1t has no legitimate place in
American business life.

pay no attention to the effect upon bust
wages, but fix your attention upon the
effect which these immense combinations
of monsy. selfishness and greed have upon
the character and life of our people.
The growth of corporate influence, the
abuse of corporate privileges is a decided
menace to the free institutions of our
country. Individuals, firms, and small
corporations can no longer do a profit
able business. The trust is crushing them
out with weapons as heartless as they
are relentless. There is no longer such a
thing as independence in business.
Harsh as it may sound, the trust will
divide the people of this country into
Sharply defined classes-masters and
slaves. The tendency of the trust is to
place all business into the hands of a
few men whose only ability lies in their
power to make money. All employees will
be subject to these men, and they will be
treated as tools to 10 the bidding of
their m%ercenary masters.
l wish l had the space to call your at
tentlon to the evil influence of the trust
upon the politics of the country. Its
silent workings in our state legislatures
might be illustrated; it's methods of cor
ruptins the press might be exposed.

THE TRUST AND ITS EVILS.
BY GOVERNOR PINGREE.

The trust creates conditions more Sc
rious than any our people have ever
faced, slavery and secession alone ex-
cepted. 1t is fraught with more conse-
quences to the nation than the uues-
ton of expansion and foreign policy
arising out Of the recent Spanish-Amer-
lean war.
1t may suits the plans of some people
10 push the trust into the background
ana treat the problem of Imperialism and
as the only issue of the day.
but Ignoring the Industrial evil means
either shielding the trust or planning to
profit politically by an artificial enthus-
lasm over war and new possessions.
1t is instructive to note how useless the
antitrust laws have been. They have
Oeen enacted in twenty-five states.
twenty states have no antitrust laws.
But only in four states have serious at
tempts been made to enforce them-that
is, in Ohio, Missouri, New York and
Texas.
These are three Of the evils of the
tr~ust-namely: Increase of prices, cheap
ening of the quality of the product, and
lowering of wages. 1t is often repre-
scented by the advocates of trusts and
combines that the prices for which the
necessaries of life are sold have been
greatly reduced as the result of economy
in production, manufacture and hand
ling. 1t is no true that the cost of
such production can be lowered. That
prices to the consumer will be reduced is,
to say the least, unlikely.
Until some monopoly has furnished an
example of such reduction the world is

SARCASTIC SIGN.

New York sun: 1t was 6 o'clock. The
building was well-nigh deserted. Only
one elevator was running and the swish
of the scrubwoman's mop was heard in
the hall. The one solitary typewriter
| who remained to break the monotony of
the evening silence with the clicking of
her machine softly opened the office door,
and. after looking cautiously around for
a moment, stepped out into the hall. In
her hand she carried a 6x6 square of
heavy white paper. Seeing there was no
one to watch her but the scrubwoman
and a belated toiler standing near the
elevator shaft, she assume an air Of
boldness, and producing from some mys-
FERROUS recess in the hollow of her hand
four brass-headed nails, she began to
tack the square Of paper to the office
door
The belated toiler left her position near
the elevator and approached near enough
to read the care on which was written in

The Festive MQlG For AllDV Use
ENGLAND HAS SUCCEEDED IN BREEDING THE As1NINE FAMILY so
HIGHLY IT THREATENS TO DRIVE OUT THE GRACEFUL HORSE.

The position that the donkey holds in
the animal world is not an enviable one.
For years he has been despised and ILL
treated. People who would think it the
height of cruelty to neglect a horse would
not hesitate to overload a donkey, even
if they did not forget to take proper care
Of him afterwards, and it has long SEEM
ed to have been the popular impression
that he was the most unimportant and
least valuable of all animal creation.
How foreign to fact this is only the per-
son who knows all about the donkey can
tell.
Outside those Immediately concerned
in the mysteries and intricacies of dom
key dealing there are probably not many
people who are aware that there is an
ever-growing demand for this animal. In
London, for instance, there is a recog-
nized market where donkeys are on show
once a week and there those who are in
terested in these animals go to examine
and purchase them just as those who
wish to buy cattle go to Smithfield or to
Tattersall's for horses. But 1slington is
not the only market of this kind in the
world.
All over Europe there are places where
the despised animal is bought and sold,
for in many countries the raising of
donkeys is an important source of rev.
enue. The most important donkey mar
ket in this country is at Atlanta, where
once a year vast number of the animals
are taken to be disposed of. The season
for these sales is now drawing near and
as soon as winter sets in tens of thous-
ands of these animals. each from three to
four years old. will be shipped to Geor-
gia from the rich rice fields and grazing
land of Indiana, Kentucky and western
Tennessee. Then the railroad contract
Ors, lumbermen. planters, Oil operators
and mine owners will congregate around
the droves and the bargaining will COM
mence, to continue until all have been
disposed of.
A few years g there was little mar
ket for the mule except in particular sec
tions n for peculiar purposes. but for
some time past the demand has been in
creasing until today it is difficult to find
a sufficient number of the animals to
meet the requirements of the market. The
reason for this is that the donkey is sup
planting the horse. For ornamental pur-

poses the members of the equine family
will, naturally, always hold first place,
but man has discovered that for actual
work the donkey is the beast on whom
ne can depend. Another reason for the
demand is that the United States gov
eminent as we'll as the powers of Europe,
are now purchasing more of these ami
mails thai ever before.
England was one of the first nations
10 make definite experiments to deter
mine the relative value of the mule and
the horse, and the result was such that
mule driving has become a recognized
branch Of the British service. At the
campaign in Egypt in 1882 the horse suf-
fered severely from a variety of diseases
from all of which the mule was exempt,
and the experiments made by Germany
and Russia a proved conclusively
that the donkey brigade is one of the
most valuable adjuncts to the army. For
pack animals, for draught and for noun
tain artillery they are far superior to
the horse, n as they seem to be imper-
vious to climati conditions their posi-
ton in the affection Of the various war
departments of Europe Is secure, even
though 1t may be some time before the
world has an opportunity to see a gen.
eral leading his forces to the front
astride the back of one of them. The ex-
pertinent made by the United States dur
ing the war with Spain resulted as might
nave been expected, and scores of these
animals are now being shipped to Cuba,
Porto Rico and the Philippines.
One of the chief values of the asinine
family lies in the fact that they may be
adapted to any and all purposes. Care
full selection and systematic interbreed-
ing will do anything with them and this
explains the fact that there are scores of
different Varities Of animals that are
crosses between the horse and the ass.
Many as they are, however, they are di-
vided into three distinct classes, the
tackass, the donkey and the burro.
