sCHILLING DRY GOODS sTORl
OPENED.

One Of the most successful openings
in the business history al this city was
that Of the new Schilling Dry Goods
Company, ait No. 314 Market street,
yesterday All day the store was
thronged with buyers who were de-
lighted with the new, fresh stock of
gcodsd.s d.sp'ayed. AS advertised, the open
ing was Of the quiet, old-fashioned
sCrt. hut the visitors were favorably
impressed by the excellence and care
displayed in the selection of the goods.
Another feature that me. with ap-
proval was that the wares were mark
cd in plain figures and at reasonable
prices. Mr.. Schillinlg has been in this
city a number of years, and is we'll
and favorably known here, and besid-s
has had an extensive experience, whi-h
will no doubt gain for him the conf-
dence and custom Of Wilmington buy
ers.

bushels of that particular grade. And
when this receipt Is again presented, he
does not give back the same grain, but
simply so many bushels Of that grade.
II was soon found that all grain of the
same grade Is not equally g0od-there
will be No. wheat almost equal TO No.
/, and there will be No. wheat falling
close to No. 3. And in all those cases
where wheat Is sold, not by the grading.
but rather by sample--as for milling
purpOses-the best quality sometimes
brings several cents bushel more than
the poorer quality, though of the same
grade. The warehouse men saw that
they could sell by sample the best quail
ity Of particular grade and supply its
place by lower quality Of the same
grade and pocket the difference. This
would reduce the average quality OF the
whole Pile, and In case the owners Of
any OF the pile should wish to sell by
sample they would suffer In cOnse.
Quence. The elevator owners went into
the business Of buying and selling grain
and mixing 1t with that of their custom
ers. A suit was brought to enj0in them
from doing this. Much evidence was
taken, and after a full hearing Judge
Tuley, the Nestor of the bench of Chi
cagO, granted the injunction on the
grounds, among others, that the eleya-
ter owners were trustees or custOdans
Of other peoples property, that the in

public morals to permit them to stand
in position where there would be a
constant temptation for them to change
the character Of the property they thus
held In trust: and, second, that IL the
elevator men were permitted to act In
the dual capacity of trustees and deal
ers In grain they would possess such
advantages as would enable them to
soon drive all other buyers out of the
market and thus give to themselves
monopoly Of the grain trade Of Chicago,
and enable them, to certain extent, to
* the price Of grain in the Chicago
market: for they could then. by comb.
nation. agree on the price. and by rea-
son of their enormous storage capacity
they could withhold or throw OH to the
market ut any time vast quantities of
wheat. and thus depress or raise the
market at pleasure, which would not
be so IL there were many owners. The
case was appealed to the Supreme
Court. and that court sustained Judge
Tuley. and. in long and able opinion.
expressly held that 1t would be against
public morals and against public pol
Icy to permit the public warehouse men
Of this State to carry on grain bust
ness In the same warehouse In which
they keep their customers grain.
But In the meantime the warehouse
men secured the passage of law
which permits them to do the very
things which the courts had held to be
against public morals and against pub.
lie policy. The elevator people stand
together. They have an agreement not
to interfere with each others business.
The moment bushel of wheat goes
into their warehouses they are entitled
to two cents storage. When an outside
buyer offers 20 cents a bushel 1t will
cost him ~ cents. The warehouse men.
by giving up little of their storage
charge. can offer II cents. and thus
drive the outside buyers out Of the
market. This done, the market Is ut

No wonder the real estate business in
Chicago Is dead.
People are tired Of paying the taxes
Of others.
Owing to the bribery Of Assessors by
the Gas Trust and other rich corpora
tions the assessed valuation of Chicago
property gets lower every year, while
the taxes of those who have to pay
grow larger In amount.
The expenses of the city are greater
every year and the poor man who pays
taxes has to meet them. The Gas Trust
and other bribers are not affected.
The honest taxpayers of Chicago pay
greater percentage on each 500 Of
their assessed valuation than the pco-
pie of any cher city In the United
States.
