Schilling's Advance: Some weeks ago
we showed how trusts had raised prices
most numerically in order to satisfy
the workingman and make it appear
that trusts were really a benefit, they
had given their employees very small
mite of the raise.
Now no less paper than the New
York Tribune comedies our figures. In
a late issue it finds it necessary to scold
the tin plate and wire trusts for abusing
the advantage they enjoy by reason of
the Republican tariff tax. Since the
first of the year, it says, wire nails have
been advanced in price 68 per cent. tin
plate 40 per cent, and bar iron and steel
about 70 per cent.
This is not exactly the right time,'
adds the Tribune, ito be milking the
country to the last drop in order to re-
alize quick and big profits for works

ST ELY hope the Press is prophet.
But, how the Press demolishes all
the pl leories of itself and every gold

told we already had plenty of gold
for al e requirements of business.
Now read farther from the Press;
it's good authority: THAT increase in
gold came after shrinkage in supply;
SO does this" What, not enough goldo
The Press is surely mistaken. But now
comes this remarkable statement: mo
one expected that; no one expected
this" Where, oh where was Marcus
Aurelius? Where was Grover, Whitney,
Croker and Palmer? Has the Press no
fear Of the future when it prints such
rank heresy? How fortunate for the
gold standard soldiers of fortune that
new mines were discovered and Dame
Nature temporarily came to their relief
How eagerly do they seize upon this
33 per cent possible increase over the
50s. How absurd is the theory that 33
or even SO per cent increase in gold
over the sos will even approximate the
increase in volume of business as done
in the COS compared to that done in the
Sos.
We certainly congratulate the Journal
that it prints over Jerry Us own sigma
ture the confession that but for ''an
unexpected discovery Of new gold mines,
which is but temporary relief at best,
the gold standard advocates would have
been in an extremely embarrassing po-
sition. The logic of the Press is un-
answerable, i. e., that it is absolutely
necessary for the welfare of the country
that more standard money should be
had. 1t also shows conclusively that
oven the "unexpected' increase in gold,
following "shrinkage of supply" will
not be sufficient for our needs. The
Journal will get on the right side of the
money question after a while, if it
profits by the lesson as taught in the
Press article. c. D. BONN.

that she could not turn over in bed
alone. After using two bottles of Elcc-
trio Bitters, she is wonderfully improved
and able to do her own work" This SUI

a source of pleasure to converse with
her, and see her arrayed in her Egyptian

know the many hidden mysteries she
could tell you by reading the palm OF

this remarkable lady.
