HIGH PRICES FOR THE TRUSTS.

so Three years ago the Dem
OCRAT was bewailing and complain
ing because the prices of everything
were SO low, claiming that not until
they advanced (under bimetallism)
would prosperity prevail.
The fact that prices have been raised
without that (meaning that they
have been raised by the trusts) has
caused the DEMOCRAT to take another
tack. Beacon.
A newspaper that in it's own col
umns confesses itself to be too stupid
to appreciate the economic difference
between a natural increase of prices
affecting the property, labor and pro-
ducts of all the people, and a sporadic
and artificial increase of prices
manipulated by the trusts, for the
trusts land confined exclusively to the
products of the trusts, is hardly
worth wasting printers ink upon.
Perhaps little object lesson right
at home will serve to show our
neighbor how prices "have been
raised" under the reign of the trusts.
Last night the Beacon told its
readers that the Salt Trust has
bought the Akron Salt Works and
that "the plant will be closed down
and the manufacture of salt discon-
tinued." The closing down of the
Akron plant, in conjunction with
other plants elsewhere, is intended
to help the Trust restrict the pro-
duction of salt.
Being thus in position to
take advantage of the necessities of
the people, position into which all
trusts attempt to work themselves
by obtaining monopoly of trade in
certain article of commerce, the
Salt Trust will proceed to raise the
price upon the people.
Whether this particular trust shall
succeed or fail in it's endeavor is quite
beside the question. But the fact
remains, and it should be clear even
to the benighted Beacon, that this is
not the way bi-metallists promised
to raise prices, four years ago.

HIS MAJESTY
The Mikado Will Be in Town This
Month.

The Street Fair is now thing of
the past, Roosevelt has been here
and gone, and soon the County fair
fair will also be over. Then the
MikadO will be in Akron on October
10. This is rather surprising news.
but it's true, which is more than can
be said of the finding of the North
Pole. Col. Bloomfield as financial
secretary of the hospital is response
BILE for this and he deserves support
in this effort to give pleasure and
profit. Mr.. Geo. F. Knowles, who
has produced "Mikado" in several
nearby towns most successfully, will
manage the entertainment. He
brings with him very fine costumes
and beautiful scenery. The musical
people are delighted with the idea
and enough local talent has been Sc
cured to render the 'MikadO" one of
the finest things ever seen here.
Thursday evening, Oct 10, is the date
fixed upon and by that time the town
will be so thoroughly Japanned that
our grocers won't be able to sell any
thing but rice and tea.

1.-THE last thing 1 said to Otis
when I left Manila says Admiral
Dewey, "Was this: You're trying
to do too much. You're working
yourself to death!'" Oh, that same
Dewey would arise to tell Colonel
Sanford and Senator Alexander to
put on the brakes. They, like Otis,
are working themselves to death
and all for the benefit of the Hanna
ticket.
HoNoRs have been heaped SO
heavily upon the Hon. w. F. Crispin
by the local Prohibition party that
the DEMOCRAT doesn't see how he
can carry them around. In the cur
rent months edition of the official
organ of the party, under the head of
sProhibition Roster" we find the
following:
eW. F. Crispin, Chairman 10th
District.
Nv. F. Crispin, Acting Secretary
18th District.
"W. F. Crispin, Acting Chmn.

"W. F. Crispin, Secretary Summit
county.
Nv. F. Crispin, Sec. Summit Co.
Exec. CON-"
In addition to all this Rev. Crispin
finds time to follow the highly diver
sified callings oflecturer, book agent,
author, poet and editor, and he is
good at each. Doesn't this record,
by comparison, rather leave our vain
glorious friend Mark Hanna han ging
in the air?

Candidates Tried.

Twenty candidates for positions on
the Akron eleven reported for prac-
tice Monday night. Captain Hutch
insoa drilled the men in signals for
two hours. They were kept going at
lively pace. Although they have
had but two nights work, much i'm
provement is already noticeable.
There was considerable fumhling of
the ball but the men got into the
plays faster than the preceding
night. Another candidate for half
back WAS ont. McBurney, who play
ed that position Oh the North Ends
last year. He caught on rapidly.
He is fast runner and sure heady
player. Doc Smith and Stair were
also tried. Both show up well in
practice. Price and Moore were
worked at quarterback. Cooper,
Chase. Peterson and "Old Hutch"
took turns as tackles. Kauth and
Woodbridge were in the line as guards.
Kapp, Evans and Rockwell will try
for ends. 1t is probable there will
be a number of other candidates for
these positions.
st. John of Barberton, and Dietz,
last years halfback ON the North
Ends, have notreported. Both have
signified their intention of getting
into the game. The absence of Car
ter is regretted. 1t was hoped that
he would be out for practice. His
experience and assistance would be
very valuable at this time. The can
didates will practice Wednesday,
Thursday and Friday nights. The
game Saturday will be a hard one
and it is necessary that the team
have as much work as possible be-
fore that time.
Temper Won Cup.
Temper won the cup offered by the
Gentlemen's Driving club of Cleve-
land, for the fastest mile to wagon
made during the season of 1899. Her
mile in 2:O91e equaled the worlds
record. Monday she tried again
over the Glenville track to lower her
mark. The conditions were unfavor-
able and the best she could do was
mile in 2:l41s.

Art Simms has not received any
answer to his challenge for match

In the county OF Escambia in Alabama
is the little town of Flomston and there
lives Mrs. Mollie Grimes. She was a
good wife and mother but several years
ago she found her health slipping away
from her. She realized that this meant
the inevitable nervousness and irritability
that would surely lose for her the affec-
ton of her children and husband. and
that as her health declined discord and
misery would appear in her home. She
was filled with the loving motherly in

THE plant of the Akron Salt COM
pany, which for several years has
furnished employment to large
number of men, has been purchased
by the Salt Trust and will be closed
down. 1t is announced that an i'm
mense sum had to be paid to get pos
session of the Akron plant, but this
makes little difference to the Trust.
In time the people who buy
salt will have to pay for the enor-
nous expense of purchasing this
plant that it may rust and decay in
idleness. After the Trust succeeds
in restricting the production of salt
by closing down many of the plants
engaged in its manufacture, and
throwing hundreds of men out of
work, it will be able to fix its own
price upon this particular necessary
of life, and the people will have to
pay it. In this case there is no pre-
tense at reducing the cost of produce
tion to benefit the people.
Private monopoly never makes such
a pretense unless it intends to de-
ceive voters.

THERE never was a time when
the American dollar would purchase
more than it does today" said a
preacher who was lecturing upon an
economic subject at Cleveland Sun
day night. A great deal depends
upon who does the purchasing. For
instance, it is what our gold standard
friends call ''lO0-cent dollar" when
used by the trusts to buy labor or the
products of the farm, but when la
borers or farmers use it to buy pro-
ducts of the trusts it takes sudden
drop to the level of "50-cent dol
lar" The dollar is not SO much at
fault, however, as the system that
has made it necessary for manufac-
turers to organize trusts to save
themselves from being driven to the
wall. The trusts can keep prices
from falling under the price depress-
ing operation of the gold standard by
limiting the supply of manufactured
articles, but laboringmen and far
mers have no such remedy. The
value of their products and theiI
farms and property is fixed by the
supply of primary money which
measures values. Unlike the trusts,
they can interpose no artificial bar
rier between their products and prop

NO MUTUAL AGREEMENT

Bessemer, December 5.-(Special.)-A rep
resentative of The Age-Herald called at the
office of the United States Cast Iron Pipe
and Foundry company today to obtain
Manager ]. W. Holmes views on the eff
feet on the operation of his company by
the supreme courts decision against
trusts.
Unfortunately Manager Holmes was alb
sent at his old home in Paducah, KY, but
the other officials in charge fully expressed
the conviction that the decision would have
no effect whatever upon the operation or
interest of the United States Cast Iron Pipe
and Foundry company.
At the time of the institution of the suit
in the United States district court in Chat
tanooga the companies mentioned, including
the Decentralization Iron company, then
owning the plant here, had an agreement
among themselves regulating the taking of
contracts and sales which was probably
violative of the antitrust laws of congress.
This agreement was obviated and nullified
by the formation of the American Pipe and
Foundry company, which bought outright
the plants of the various companies, bring
ing them under one management, which
did away with all necessity or occasion for
any mutual operations or sales by the diff
ferent plants.
Following this the United States Cast
Iron Pipe and Foundry company purchased
the plants now constituting it's holdings,
which include all the plants and properties
of the American Pipe and Foundry COM
pany.
This fact does away for any necessity
for an agreement regarding sales, THESE
matters being controlled by the general
management
The United States Cast Iron Pipe and
Foundry company now absolutely owns a
majority of all cast iron pipe foundries IN
the country and contracts and regulates
sales precisely the same as any single OF
minor corporation would do. therefore II
