For his sermon, DIR. Baker had the
text Acts o, l6: "Loid, what wilt Thou
have me to do?" He emphasized the
primary principle that one should use
power according to plan; and after
having "a plan, one must sympathegloaily
and completely become enlisted in 1t.
Talent and tact, promptness and con-
scientiousness are all important Tor
the proper use of power.
In the use of power personal limita-
tion always is to be- recognized. The
largest individuality is only cipher
when standing alone, Alliances are
everything. While not recognizing the
difference between the sacred and the
secular DIR. Baker said that when his
hearers had studied with considerate
Investigation the public questions of

with some political party. Although
at times the best men may not be on
the ticket, OF the platform may not
be the best, accepting the doctrine oi

''In ali our related work Of the world,
do the very best you can,'' he added.
''They join some church, although you

Letter in Now York evening Post. Nov. 10th.
Two years ago the price of ordinary
news printing paper got as low as 1.6
cents per pound, or S32 per ton. A
fpw months later the Trust was formed,
and the Price of paper was aG once ad-
yunced an average of S. per ton.
Prices have since been firmly held, and
duting the last three months the price
has been marked up to 2.l cents per
pond, or SAG per ton. The price of
wood-pulp has gone up to S23 per ton
from former price of between s1l
and SIG.
The excuse given for these advances
is that the drought has prevented the
running of mills and greatly limited
the supply of paper. Whether or not
The drought is the principal cause of
present high prices, it is reasonably
certain that but for the duties on I'M
ported pulp and paper such high prices
would not be possible. The great
dailies of this country which consume
the most of this paper fully understand
the situation, and are now working, rs
they have been for two years, to have
paper and Lulp put upon the free list.
TO get clear understanding of the
conditions aud situation, it is necessary
to know the essential facts concerning
the Paper Trust.
In October, 1885, an attempt to
organize all Of the large paper mills
into one gigantic corporation was nearly
successful, and was probably prevented
only by the opposition of hundreds OF
influential newspapers, which exposed
the smallness of the assets of tho pro-
l,sed Trust, in comDarison' with the in
tended So, 100. 600 capital, and bean an
agitation in favor Of putting 10th pulp
and paper on the free list.
Two years later the attempt was sue.
cessful, and on January 3lst. 1888, the
International Paper Co. was incor-
lorated with a capital of $40, 000, QUO,
and authority to issue $40, 600, 900 in
bonds. 1t took over by purchase "a OF
% of the principal pulp and paper mill.
Of the United States, producing from Ii
to 80 per cent of all the newspaper:
manufactured east of Chicago. Th,
number of mills owned has since beer
increased to 30. The new and indie
pendent mills, which have since beer
built, leave the Trust in control o
about SO per cent of the product.
The following statements concernin,
the Trust are from the Brief in favo
Of free PAPER and free Pulp" submitted
to the Anglo. o.American Joint Higl
Commission, on December 9th. 1898
by the American Newspaper Pub
lishers' Association. The brief wa
signed in behalf Of 157 daily news
papers:

ASK rhe Horse.

An amusing incident occurred at the
recent training of yeomanry regiment
in the west of England. While the regi-
ment was being drilled by the colonel,
one of the troopers horses became
restive, broke out. of the ranks, and
gallored straight ahead at full speed.
As the man shot by, the colonel called:
Hi, sir, where are you going?" To
which the yeoman truly replied:

Excessive and improper prices were
paid for many mills that were located
On exhausted wateroourses and that
were tributary to denuded timber
tracts; for mills that at periods of the
year have an insufficient suEply of
water, Or are under water; for mills
that are inferior and worthless in ma
chinery, equipment, and construction
for mills that must pay excessive rental
for wator- Eower; for mills that nave
neither pulr-grinding attachments nor
sulphite pulp auxiliaries.
Five OF the paper mills obtain their
power at total annual COST of sl96, 900
per annum. Two others are run by
steam, which makes competition i'm
possible, and five others have INSULT
eent power. Four owned no wood
lands, and 10 of the mills had no sui
pitts auxiliaries.
Ninety eight eager making machines
were comprised in the plant Of these
mills, hut only 4s Of the 9s machines
were of recent construction or of de-
sirable pattern. Fifty of the 9S paper
machines in the mills were almost
worthless. Not one of the mills in all
the combination possessed all OF the six
essentials of the cheapest and most sue
cessful manufacture; namely, cheap
wood, cheap and ample water power,
cheap rates to market, modern ma
ehinery, wholesale production, and con-
centration at one place under onesuEer-
vision.
One plant, which could not make
newspaper on number of its machines,
was unloaded upon the Trust at q
valuation of $22, 900 per ton of daily
output, whereas the most intelligent
and hest authorities agree that plants
equipped with modern machinery,
capable of producing paper under the
most economical and most satisfactory
conditions, can be installed at less thar
10000 per ton of daily output
For mill that made not per cent
OF profit in 1807--a mill which has nc
water power, no sulphite attachment,
and which carted Its pulp two miles
an appraisement Of $57O,000 was prt
upon it in its merger into the Trust
An allowance Of nearly IS, 000, 600 wal
made for mill, one-half of which
might better be located upon Boston
Common or in New York City. Fiv'
years ago the stock capital of that con
Germ had beer S300.000.
The organizers of the Trust frankl.
admitted at the outset that its common
