NO SECRETS FROM
TIE MONEY TRUST

New York-The money trust has Wall

spsculators, the plans and purposes Of
railroad and Industrial corporations
even the desires and the necessities of
merchants cannot be hid from the men
of the Standard Oil trust group.
The trusts system Of control Of ma
tional banks reaches not only the treas
ury Of the United States, taking toll
from the revenues and farming the ma
tional debt, but it has its grasp on every
mans credit, on every corporations
money.
1t is not necessary for the Standard
Oil capitalists TO give their money trust
tho concrete form of consolidation Of
many or several banks into one. Ths
United States Bank. which President
James stillman has been planning for
years. will stand, when it is brought into
being, alone. Tho money trust needs
its independent banks. They will be to
the great one what it's tentacles are to

Directors representing the Rockefeller
group of millionaires sit in the board
rooms OF seven national banks and ten

THE BETTER WAY.

Governor Stone, of Pennsylvania, =,
has an admirable habit of saying the
right thing at the right time This
useful faculty was in evidence at
the opening of the Philadelphia Ex-
port Exposition, when in his ad-
dress of welcome the governor en-
phasized the fact that our export
trade was one of the grand results
of the American policy, and that if
the Free Traders had had their way
there would have been no industrial
products to export.
The other day at the meeting of
the Pennsylvania Republican State
League at Harrisburg Governor
Stone found the opportunity to put
in few we'll chosen words, he said {:
"From 1898 to 1897 there were no
trusts in the country, according to
the Democratic party, and believe
it is so. There were no collective
trusts, but there was a great deal
of individual trust. If there hadn t
been, many men could not have kept
their families. They say that we
are responsible for the existence of
the trusts and that we favor them.
If the trusts are responsible for the
present prosperity, then and only
then are we in favor of them. We
plead guilty to the charge of being
responsible for prosperity"
Protection and Republicanism are
chiefly responsible for the existing
condition of unexampled prosperity.
There is no doubt of that. Trusts
are to some extent the outgrowth of
these conditions, but the country
will think twice before it decides to
return to the conditions which exis-
ted prior to the appearance of the
trust mania. There is a better way
to deal with the question. First,
find out what legislation is necessary
to correct that trust evil, if evil it
shall after fair trial prove to be,
and then intrust that legislation to
the party which has an unbroken
record of forty years of wise, pa
triotic and benefcent lawmaking.

The English Great sugar Eaters.

In 1869 the English consumed on the
average AZ pounds of sugar per capita
annually. That this is enough for
either health or reasonable enjoyment
is proved by the fact that few people
use so much to-day. For example, in
1896 Italy consumed 719 pounds per
capita; Spain, 1857 pounds; Austria
Hungary, 1854 pounds; Germany,
2L14 pounds, and France 1924 pounds.
In the United States, where the use of
sweets is said to be injuriously eXces-
sive, only 80 pounds per capita were
consumed in 1869, and 81 pounds per
capita in 1898. In England during
1887 every human being including
babies. invalids and paupers disposed
on the average of nearly 4 ounces of
sugar a day, or SAT- pounds a year
Furthermore. neither from the eco
nomic or the sanitary standpoint do
the uses to which this extra sugar
ration is put seem satisfactory. One of
the chiefs of these appears to be to en-
courage drinking. Though the exports
of beer from England show a tendency
to decline, brewing grows apace.
Twenty-seven gallons a year per cap
ita, counting women and children, are
surely enough. In America, though
the amount of spirits drunk is the
same, 15% gallons of beer suffice; and
American beer is light. Twenty-seven
and One-quarter gallons were the meas
ure for England in 1888; yet in 1897 il
had swelled to 3115 gallons an expan-
sion at the rate of about / per cent.
year. But, fast as brewing grows, the
weight of sugar used in the beer grows
faster. In 1883 the public put up with
something less than 3& pounds of
sugar to the barrel in 1897 it demand
ed between s and pounds.

CHAMPION SAFE BREAKER
Picked the Bank of England's Locks
on a Wager and Won Easily.

AthOu bht VI l4OChS
on Wager and Won Easily.
The first worlds fair the Crystal
Palace at London, was held in 1851,
and, though it is long time ago, it is
not forgotten, and has not been sur
passed by the worlds fairs which have
followed. 1t was at the Crystal Pal
ace that the American mechanic
showed that he stood second to none
In the world. Hobbs challenged
Chubb, and Hobbs, the American me-
chanic, carried off the first prize as
lockmaker. Hobbs represented an
American manufacturer of iron bank
safes. He placed his safe on exhibit
ton and tied the key of the combina-
ton lock on the outside. Inside the
safe was placed 1850, or $1,2o0, and
the free offer was made to the me-
chanics of the world that if they open
ed the safe the money contained there
in could be taken for their success. The
safe was never opened.
At that time Chubb was famous all
over England and in Europe as lock-
maker. The bank of England endorsed
Chubb and used his locks exclusively.
Hobbs examined the workmanship of
the locks and offered to not only enter
the outer doors of the Bank of Eng
land, but to open also the seven doors
leading to the treasure safe inside of
two hours, If permission was given.
This was too much for the Britishers
to stand, and they gave the necessary
consent.
Hobbs was on hand two hours before
the time of opening the doors Of the
bank arrived and announced himself
ready to go to work. All the tools he
had he carried in his vest pocket CON
sisting of about twenty picks. He
opened the front door in seven min
utes and entered the bank triumphant
ly. He next approached the outer door
OF the treasure safe. In six minutes
the door was opened and before one
hour had passed, half of the time he
asked for, he had his hands in the
treasury of the bank, much to the
amazement of the directors of the bank
and to the intense disgust of Chubb.
He took his defeat gamely, however,
and soon set to work to improve his
locks. This he did by taking Hobbs
into his employ as an adviser. For the
time, however, ] think the Bank of
England put American locks on their
safes, for everybody recognized the
fact that Chubb was no more a match
for Hobbs than Sayers was for Hee-
nan.

Turkey,s Elaborate Armories.

Turkey prides itself on its armores,
and claims that no other country in
the world can equal them. Constanti-
nople boasts the roomiest and hand
soonest of all. The armories there are
like palaces, with all the comforts and
cOnveniences modern genius can sup
ply. These buildings are all erected
on high ground, and in many cases
strike the eye of the tourist before the
gates of COnstantpnople are reached.
This is particularly true of the Haidan-
Pasha and Pera armories, which al
ways arouses the admiration of new
comers to the Turkish capital. The
armories are surrounded by huge gar
dens with large courts and terraces
and reflect credit upon the Turkish
architects.

If THEY ARE WISE.

The New York "World" has be-
gun the Tariff Justification early in
the campaign. 1t says that "the
tailors say" that because of the
Tariff "every over-coat and every
suit will be advanced 50 this year. -"
and that for the same reason every
pair of shoes will be advanced from
so to 66 percent. The "World' can
not find a reputable dealer in either
shoes or clothing who will say any
thing of the kind, because it is alb
solute falsehood. The Tariff has
been in effect nearly three years,
and any intelligent person knows
that it has no effect now in advanc-
ing prices. The increase in prices
at this time, where there has been
an increase, is due to an enormous in
crease in prosperity and the greatly
increased consumption. Wages
have advanced and are advancing
over the country But wool and
leather have advanced considerably
in Free Trade England Evidently
the "Wurld" hungers for the soup
houses and general distress that
characterized the nation under the
Democratic Tariff If the Free
traders are wise they will let the
Tariff question severely alone in this
mpaign.-Philadelphia "Press."

A consular report to the State De-
partment contains some interesting
facts about a new French drink call
ed Etiquette. 1t is brewed from
low-grade American dried apples, in
cluding skins, cores, worms, etc, to-
gether with raisius, and as the brew
requires thorough fermentation
just enough alcohol to give it a pi-
quaint taste, but not enough to in
toxicate the drinker, it is becoming
very popular among the French
men. Last year they drank 60, ,OOO,-
600 gallons of Piquette at cents a

SERIOUS CHARGES.

The Philadelphia North American
has been exposing the connection of
Josiah r. Adams, candidate for
Superior Court Judge, with certain
alleged swindling concerns through
whose agency people have been de-
frauded out of large sums of money.
These charges are specific and un.
equivocally made. Mr.. Adams can
not do less than answer them as
fully and completely as they are
set forth. He owes this to the party,
and to the Judiciary which he as
pires to represent. Judgment
should be withheld until his oppor-
tunity to do this is ample, but the
delay cannot be unduly postponed
without irreparable damage to a
ticket which a judicial candidate
should adorn and not disgrace. Un-
less these charges are fairly and
sufficiently refuted no self-respect-
ing Republican can cast his ballot
for Mr.. Adams. We hope the de-
nial will be forthcoming before the
lapse of time shall have allowed
them to become rooted in the pub.

Where the COMPASS Game From.

W mere Ine compass came FROM.
The earliest reference to the use of
the mariners compass are to be found
in Chinese history from which we
learn how, in the siXty-fOurth year Of
the reign of Hoang-ti (2G34 B. c. the
Emperor attacked Tchi-yeOn, on the
plains of Tehoulou, and, finding his
army embarrassed by a thick fog
raised by the enemy, constructed an
instrument for indicating the south, so
as to distinguish the four cardinal
points, and was thus, says Pearsons
Weekly, enabled to pursue his adver-
sary and capture him.
The power of the loadstone to COM
municate polarity to iron is said to be
for the first time explicitly mentioned
in n Chinese dictionary finished A. d.
121, where the loadstone is defined as
"a stone with which an attraction can
he given to the needle"
The Chinese appear to have once
navigated as far as India by the aid
of tho compass.
