The Sanitary Record calls attention
to the fact that Hezekiah, king of
Judah (717-6SS B. On was q pioneer
in the construction of water works,
having built a system to bring water
into the city of Jerusalem. The Bible
says: He made the pool and the
conduit, and brought the water into
the city, stopping the upper part of
Gihon, and brought it straight down
To the west side of the city of David
And Hezekiah prospered in all his
works." 1t is worthy of note that
Hezekiah believed In municipal con-
troll of the water supply, and did not
put the construction of the system inso
the hands of a gang of promoters.

Trusts and Municipalities.

That trusts have increased the prices
of comm ODDITIES has been charged by
democrats and denied by republicans
but these denials must cease If any ac@
count IS to he taken of cold, hard, indi;
structible facts. Let us take the matter
of groceries, for instance. This class of
commodities is universally used by the
people and any increase Of price is at
once noticed and commented upon. In
Columbus, Ohio, the other day, there
was held a meeting of sales agents of
wholesale houses, in which the republican
party was denounced as the mother Of
trusts. This issignifcant is as coming from.
a body of men who were the great advo-.
Gates Of Mckinley IN 1896. But much
more significant was the preparation Of
a list Of articles of domestic consamp-
ton, controlled by newly formed trusts
on which the prices had been materially
advanced. No Hanna oratory can meet
the arguments put forth in these figures.
Republicans may say there are no trusts
or that trusts do not raise prices, but
the facts shown by the sales agents will
confound and disapproye all such efforts.
This list covers the bulk Of articles in
the retail grocery trade and shows an adj
vance of from SO to Is per cent. In con-
sequence of the exborbitant increase in
the price of tin plate by the arbitrary
operation Of the trust there has bsen q
reaction in the industry of canning fruits
and vegetables. for both the domestic
and home markets. The price Of three
pound boxes for tomatoes has risen to
double the former rate. The farmers are
interested in this, for the increase il
price has caused decrease in demand,
and the same applies to canned vegeta-
bles, fruit and meat. Trusts do raise
prices, and not only the consumer suf.
fers, but the producing farmer as well
