The Caldwell tribune. [volume] (Caldwell, Idaho Territory [Idaho]) 1883-1928, 1899-06-17

Poiltics as any man now living,
besides being man of great at
tainments. He tells the following
story in the chapter cited:
"It is indeed, as we have said,
generally lucrative for a person
to contrive to make a monopoly
of certain thing; for which
reason some cities also adopt this
method when they want money,
for they make a monopoly of
their commodities. There was,
too, certain person in Sicily
who laid out sum of money
which was deposited in his hands
in buying up all the iron from the
iron works, so that afterward,
when the dealers came from the
markets to purchase, no one had
any to sell but himself, and though
he put no great advance upon it,
yet by laying out so talents he
made 100. When Dionysius
heard this he permitted him to
take his money along with him,
but forbade him to continue any
longer in Syracuse. This mans
foresight and Thales' was exactly
the same, for both of them con-
trived TO procure a monopoly for
themselves. 1t is useful, also, for
politicians definitely to under
stand these things.
"According to this story the
man who got up this deal cleared
| $500 pounds avoirdupois of mon
ey, which was not bad specula :
ton; and it was over 1900 years
ago, before Mckinley was ever
heard of.
at was an intense piece of sar-
casm for Aristotle to say that il
was useful for politicians TO un-
derstand these things definitely
and he no doubt refers to the EN-
inent Democratic statesmen of to
day, who apparently do not un,
derstand anything about trusts
and monopolies. There hal
probably been string of poll.
ticians' from Aristotle down whc
have laid the deplorable existenc,
of trusts and monopolies to every
thing on earth except the RICH
one; have laid it to the color 0
the moon, the administration, tn
tariff, everything except the tru
cause-human avarice.
"The Thales story referred t
in the above quotation is given b
the same author, and is the stor,
of an 'oil trust, which was one c

Wardner, June Io.-Under the

Johnson, crazy and desperate,
made a dash for liberty by jumping
into the river to day. Down the
rapid stream he bobbed like a
great black cork, while on the
bank his keeper, breaking through
the underbrush, peppered him
with his Krag -Jorgenson rifle.
Somehow or other the floating
target evaded the fire, but the
treacherous eddies were too much
for him and Johnson's body was
found 20 minutes later drowned.
He was one Of the men under
arrest in the bull pen on suspicion
of having been connected with
