AN idea of the immensely of the trust
movement within the past six months
may be gathered from the fact that
four hundred of these combinations
show a capitalization of capital and
preferred stock and bonded indebted
ness of over six billion dollars, which is
about one-twelfth of the estimated total
wealth of the country. The trust ques-
ton is certain to be an important factor
in both national and state politics, and
politicians will tax their ingenuity to
the utmost to construct planks in party
platforms that will appeal most forcibly
to the masses of voters without un-
necessarily arousing the antagonism Of
capital. The common people" are not
interested so much in what parties say
upon the trust question, as they are
in what they will do about it. 1t Is a
matter upon which factions speak
louder than words"

For the fiscal year ending July l the
customs revenues have aggregated up
ward of 1890, 900, 900, which Is $3O,0OO,-
600 more than was produced by the
Jaw which preceded it, even though
the latter had in its final months the
aid Of an immense flood of anticipatory
importations. Moreover, the Dingley
act yields for the fiscal year just closed
q larger anount of revenue than the
Mckinley act of 1890 yielded in its best
year, and, as the New York Tribune
points out, little more than was CAL
culated upon as the amount sufficient,
with the internal taxes then in force,
to cover ordinary expenditures of the
government.

ate up the Spanish feet. However, it
is something of a relief to learn that
there are not so many to look. after as
was at first reported.

WE commend the following sensible
observations from the Philadelphia
Evening Posts ''There may be too much
of good thing even in an hysterical
philanthropy. A millionaire declared
that it was disgraceful for man to die
rich, and then a college professor pro-
claimed that it was sin for anybody
to hold private property, but already
the millionaire is begging that the de.
mands upon him cease, and the col
Iege professor is not asking the trustees
to reduce his salary. The world has
been doing a great deal more to settle
problems in economies than all the
prophets and sensation seekers, and
the good old rule of doing your best
and getting all you can for it, and
using wisely and modestly your sur
plus, whether i! be ten cents or ten
millions, still continues as the safe line
of conduct for sensible people,"

THE figures of the bureau of immi-
grafton lately tabulated show a large
increase in the number of immigrants
to this country. The total number of
Immigrants during the last six months
Of 1888 was greater by about &c, 900 than
the number of immigrants entering the
country during the corresponding
period Of 1897. This may or may not
be benefit to the country, but whether
It is or not, it shows conclusively that
the people of foreign lands have become
aware of the return of prosperity to the
United States,

THE labor problem is serious one
for many farmers at this season of the
year, especially on Puget Sound. The
demand for labor in the timber and
fisheries industries is SO great that it is
very difficult indeed to obtain colmpe-
tent farm help at prices that many
farmers can afford to pay. Farm
wages in the northwest are much
higher than they are IN the eastern
and middle states, and that, too, with
out correspondingly better prices for
agricultural products. 1t is no easy
task for the farmer to make the ordin-
AIRY labor of man hired at a dollar to
q dollar and half day and board re-
turn him enough to pay 1t.

The latest figures on the Philippines
give the number of islands as 5S3 and
the area as 1877 900 square miles, about
equal to New York, Pennsylvania and
Ohio. The number given by SOME
geographers was formerly as high as
zoos. The destruction of the Spanish
fleet at Manila leaves no room for any
suspicion that the Spaniards succeeded
In towing away few hundred of the
islands to some safer locality. Possibly
che big siFinkage OIL the recount may
be accounted for on the theory that
Dewey made 1t so not for the missing
500 that they sank nf their own accord,
or were ashamed to hold their heads
above water after the Yankee pigsr
