tanning emancipation for the impris-
oned spirit by such bodily austerities
as he believed would annihilate its con-
scious connection with the body and
with material things. To attain this
end he forsook his kindred and turned
his back upon society. He sought out
a filthy cave and there sat in a painful
posture of the body for many years.
That there could be no greater martyr
dom than that which this devotee chose
for himself Is attested by the fact that
tourists in India were not content with
viewing the Golden Temple, the shrine
Of the monkeys and the cesspools Of the
gods, but almost without exception
directed their footsteps to the cell Of
the hea then saint seeking reunion with
God. Even Christian martyrology tells
no more pathetic tale of the sacrifice Of
the body to save the soul.

Tho Real Mother.

If we mistake not, the first appear
ance Of trusts, the modern trust, in
this country, came by way of Great
Britain the lovely free-trade country.
We believe 1t was the Britons who
organized great moneyed syndicates
to buy our breweries, railroads and
warehouses with view to controlling
them. Those syndlcates were pecu-
liarly monopolistic and arbitrary and
1t Is due the American people to say
that they revolted against the intrusion
and in most instances the syndicates
turned out deficits instead Of divi-
dends, and few IL any Of them are now
doing business In this country.
The general public having knowledge
Of these facts, have small patience to
read academic discussions of the
charge made by the preposterous
Havemeyer. They are content with
observing that he might as truthfully
have charged that the war Of the revo-
luton, or the policy of expansion, or
the defeat of Jerry Simpson is the
mother of trusts" as to bleat that the
tariff Is the maternal source Of all the
evils which follow In the wake Of
trusts.-Detroit Journal. UHfH

exception. Wholesalers generally have
scarcely had time to invoice their stocks
and ascertain the extent Of business for
the first six months Of the year.
This Is the situation in Mr.. Bryan's
own State, and In the other States
near by. 1t makes an effective con-
trast to the situation which existed in
that region during the years when the
policy Of free trade, 80 vigorously sup
ported by Mr.. Bryan, both in
and out OF Congress, was in
force and the Wilson law was
exerting its blighting influence upon
the Industries Of the country. 1t Is
pretty safe to say that the business
men Of Nebraska and Of other Missouri
River Valley States will not have any
use for Mr.. Bryan or for any other
free-trader In 1900.
