try have just consolidated their in
terests into one large combination. In
the engineering trades twenty-four
firms have a subscribed capital of ETA,
245 5000. In 1897 Armstrong & Co. alb
sorbed Whitworth & Co., raising their
capital to 94,21O,OOO in the process.
Vickers & Co., the armor plate manu-
facturers, are another example OF n
very large amalgamation. In the
spring of 1897 they bought up the
Naval Construction and Armament
Company, and later they acquired the
Maxim Nordenfeldt Guns and Ammu-
milton Co. Now they boast Of being
the only firm capable of turning out
battle ship complete in every respect.
The most noteworthy examples of
combination, however, are to be found
in the Birmingham staple trade and
in the textile industries"
This condensation is supplemented
by extended details showing that
slowly but surely the British organizer
Is bringing every possible plan Of
money making within the field Of his
operations, and that England is rap
idly becoming the home of trusts
Here is his summing up:
eve thus see in British industry a
steady movement toward combination
and monopoly, movement which Is
the natural outcome of competition,
and therefore not capable of being pre-
vented or undone by law"
The keen critic will not fail to note
that this admission is fatal to the as
sumption that protection is RESPONSE
BILE for the creation of trusts. If trusts
are the natural outcome of competition,
as Mr.. Macrosty AYERS, then the evil
cannot be attributed to a policy which
has the effect of restraining the area
of competition. We may add that this
view, that competition is responsible
for combinations, has found expression
In the works of such distinguished free
traders as J. Thorold Rogers, and that
it Is only the feather weight econ
omists, fighting under the Golden ban
ner in this country, who have sought to
fasten the responsibility for the evil
on protection.
Not only is protection not response
BILE for the trust evil, but it may be
claimed that it offers the only remedy
for it's suppression. We venture to
say that no protectionist will assent to
The proposition that combination Is
mot capable Of being prevented or I'M
done by law" but it is natural enough
for a free-trader to assume that the
evil is irremediable, except by resort
to socialism, as Mr.. Macrosty does In

Brief Com ment.

Col Bryan's idea that "an idea once
turned loose in the world can never
again be chained Is quite an idea.
The last New York spread might
have been appropriately labeled: "The
man who is working the workingmen's

The attempt to make President Nc
Kinley appear as a usurper and die

will probably not succeed.
Most of the anti-expansion writer's
have lost temper and are tearing pas
sion to tatters. This frequently hap
pens under disappointment and a
growing sense of being In the wrong.
There have been traitors liz all wars,
says contemporary. They have never
yet prevented the rightful settlement
Of an American war, though they are
more of nuisance than If they fought
their country openly.

and humbly wait her bidding. Even when
she told him, as she very soon did, in the
most unmistakable way, that she could
never be his wife, he simply stood before
her white and dumb. No reproach escap-
ed him; no single syllable of pleading. He
knew only too we'll that she said the truth;
that the repeated warnings of his inmost
heart, which he had stihed so desperately,
were true; that Sylvia's clear-seeing eyes
had read Alright Realizing this, of what
use were protest or implorings, could he
have uttered them? Delight no longer
loved him. He doubted in his misery
whether she had ever done so in the dear
old DAVIS before she had grown so impe-
rious and so distant. But what did 1t mat
ter? What did anything matter since all
his sweet dreams were so ruthlessly shat
tered?
When Delight had finished her cruel
message, she held out her hand, for she
could but pity the poor fellow.
"Good-by, Dave. Don't feel hard to-

a good wife. l am too"

an imperiousness never outdone by De

Delight, wrought up by the exciting oc-
currences of the last hour, conscience
stricken at seeing Dawes suffering and
Disconnected by Sylvia's pointed questions,
sank down on the grass and burst into
tears.
What have you said to Dave, Delight

companying her inquiry by a vigorous
shake of her sisters shoulder.
''I-I-told him I-I-couldn't -marry

phasis gave the simple statement an added
weight. "You are wicked girl, and l

Desire, when she came from Boston,
was the bearer Of a message to Delight
from Archie McPheadris. who had hast
ened back to his post of duty Immediately
on the failure OF his attempt to elope with
the charming Yankee maiden. He had
been able at that time to secure few
days leave of absence with the utmost
difficulty. He had not dared to outstay
his permission and trust to luck to give
him another opportunity. But he now
sent word to Delight to be constantly on
the watch for him and ready to join him
at the briefest notice.

Their meeting with Dave on the old foot
ing was impossible, and she made up her
mind to see him and put an end to their
relations once for all. Hence Sylvia's
easy accomplishment of her plan.
During the interval of the going of one
sister and the coming of the other, Dave
resolved to take his little counselor's SEN
sible advice and to act, even though he
might not entirely feel ''as brave as a
lion" But, as usual at the sight of his
beloved's naughty, graceful carriage, her
lovely face and her every motion, telling
of proud, self-contained nature, his sense
of unworthiness of so rare a creature over
whelmed him, and he could only worship

She seemed the impersonation of cour-

curly hair flying in the breeze, her brill

parted red lips showing her white teeth

Dawes blood was stirred by her rousing
words. That they were in large measure

deeply, as he watched her rapid progress
to the house. A moment later he saw

he thought, amused and pleased, too, by
her efforts in his behalf. 1t was some
time before Delight appeared, but she did
come, walking slowly down through the
garden, the dearest and sweetest girl the
whole world over, he thought, as he step
ped eagerly to meet her. Her beautiful
face was pale, and no answering smile
was returned to his; but she placed hel
hand in the one he offered her, and al
lowed him to lead her to a grassy seat un'
der the apple trees.

She began tanning herself again with
vigor. Dave felt repreached for his scant

said, rising and extending a hand to help
her up. She refused it with a pout and
sprang to his side.

They had reached the bars, which he

in the dusty road with light spring.

" realized how largely he had depended

how frequently his thoughts were turning
