Trusts and the Tariff.

The craze for trusts is great and
growing. Their own future as we'll us
their effect upon the industrial and COM
mercial world is something which can
not yet be foreseen with anything like
certainty. If they shall prove to be as
bad in fact as they r in the anticipa-
tions of many persons, and in popular
opinion, generally, there is no doubt
that the American people will find a
remedy for them. But the man who
knows that there are more trusts with
out protection of their products in the
tariff law than there are with such pro-
lection, and who still contends that the
remedy for trusts is to take away the
protective tariff, is a demagogue, while
the ma who believes that any political
party is responsible for the system or
has IL ready-made remedy for Its evils
should begin his work of reform at the
primaries in voting for men whom he
is sure are wiser than himself.-Mu.

FORTUNE
Won and Lost by a Plun9er in One
Week.

Won and Lost by a Plungcr in One
Week.
Many remarkable cases Of "plung-
ing" are on record on both sides of the
sea. Men who We're tramps yesterday
become millionaires to-day. The case
of a certain Langton, whose antics at
tracted widespread attention in the
East a few years ago, is perhaps the
most astounding within the memories
of brokers.
Langton, it is hardly necessary to
state, was not his real name. He was
one n successful business man in
Philadelphia, but disappeared one
morning, not to be seen again for two
years. Finally he turned up in the
office of n friend named Blackwood,
hungry, ragged and penniless. He bor-
rowed 500 from Blackwood, and, after
thanking him, casually announced that
lie was going to make his fortune in
the next few days, and took his leave.
His friend, who knew speculation had
been the cause of his ruin before,
fastened to dissuade him, but Lang
ton refused to listen. He meant to pur-
chase 100 shares in a certain railroad
on the following day. The stock was
then at 81, but lie was confident that
in a few days it would rise to 131. He
even e%ndeavored to persuade his friend
to take up such a good thing. But
Blackwood, who had had a taste of
good things before, refused. Fancy
his amazement when in exactly one
week Langton's prediction had been
verified. The stock of which he had
purchased 300 shares had risen to 131.
He was on the road to fortune again.
From this one leap he pyranlided
until lie had accumulated 100000.
This fortune once secured his friends
tried to force him to retire, but he had
visions of colossal wealth dancing be-
fore his eyes. He was certain that he
could not err, and. indeed, marvellous
ly successful We're his deals. But, as
must always be the case. the pitcher
went to the well once too often. The
next deal after his milliOn-lollar mark
he lost all but $4,000. Even then, had
he moved IL little less recklessly, he
might have retrieved his loss, even il
he could not bring himself to give up
the game. But the tiger had tasted
blood. He risked his last dollar, and.
exactly two weeks after borrowing the
500, he walked into the office of his
friend to say that he could not repay
eve that sum, as lie had that morning
lost his last penny. In two weeks he
had and lost over $1,OOO,OOO. He
again disappeared, only to bob up
again in some other city with another
infallible scheme to make a fortune.
But, although fairly lucky in minor
deals, he never reaped such a harvest
again, and died heartbroken -he next
year.

CHAPTER XIX

Colston is Il quiet, sleepy town, and
some of its dingiest purlieus lead into the
country lanes, and roads, which in their
turn stretch away to pretty picturesque
Ashbourne.

the frank %rcjoinder.
After that evening it is a noteworthy
fact that Mr.. Herrick's undergraduate
is Il very frequent visitor to that place of
entertainment.
Twice or thrice at least in every week
does he make his appearance, fiinging his
coins recklessly into the landlords till,

colleagues with munificent generosity,
and winning the character of being "a
rather frec-handed chap, with no nom
sense about him."
"l1ave you heard the folks are back at
Bcrchhnmpton?" he says. one evening, as
lie sits putting clouds of bird's-cye, ana
keeping IL rye us usual, on the bent
and withered-looking figure of old Job.
".Ay." answers the landlord. "a fat lot
of good that MIR. Charteris do do here.
He's no loom back ut the Priory than

thoughtfully.
"And I don't s'posc you will now, if

landlord. .She won't be able to move off

The furious tones in which these words
are uttered makes Bowling and his host
stare in unqualified amazement ut the
speaker.

arc YOU a-talkin' of? How do you know
aught of Mrs. Chartcris? Have YOU ever

But the old man only grunts some un-

penetrable silence once more.

"Ay," grunts the landlord. '"Therc's n
queer set-Out a-cOming on at the Town
Hall. A magician, or wizard, or some
thing, he calls himself. He does a power
of wonderful things-makes people go to
sleep and tell him all he wants them to

rings through handkcrchicfs, and gold
fishes come into a bowl of water, and 1

"Indeed!" says the young man thought
fully. that must be nigh as good as the
theater. Have you got it there in the
paper"
"Ycs," answers the other, stretching out
his hand for the greasy, w~ell-thumbed
journal and handing it to Bowling.
The latter looks carclcssly at the osten-
tatiOus advertisements of the wonderful
and renowned Wizard of the West, who
will give his marvellous entertainments,
comprising mesmerism, vcntriloquism,
magic and lcgerdemain, ut the Town
Hall, Colston, for three nights only.

Downing peruses with a smile of incred-

+ Trusts can be formed in any civilized
country. There are trusts in England,
Where free trade is one Of the policies
or the government. Trusts can flourish
in those countries which use silver
money as we'll as in those countries
where gold is the only standard Of
value. All trusts were conceived and
organized in selfishness. The first trust
brought together producers, cheapened
the cost of manufacture, and increased
the profits of the men concerned.
The march of invention, of new proc
esses, has invariably been faster than
has been the lowering of the price Of
the finished product to the people. To
say that trusts have reduced the prices
of manufactures is to state a thing
which is false. Trusts take refuge be-
hind this lie in order to justify them
selves in the opinion Of the people.
Trusts are organized for the purpose Of
increasing profits. Products would be
cheaper to-day If there We're no trusts.
A hundred competing factories are bet
ter for the people than is one corpora

hundred factories.
Recently trusts have been created for
purposes of speculation. A great many
men have become rich in this way dur
ing the past year. The losses which
are inevitable will fall to those who
are caught with watered shares in their
possession. All trusts, therefore, are
harmful to the people. All trusts are
created in order that the people may be
robbed in one way or another. The
only course open to the several States
and to the United States is to destroy
the trusts.
The Republican party leads in re.
forms. The Republican party should
make immediate and relentless war
upon trusts. The Republican platform
in Ohio this year should be built upon
this idea. The Republican Congress
which will meet next December should
take up the trust question at once. MI.
Mckinley should be renominated and
reelected on the declaration that all
trusts are dangerous, dishonest, and
must be destroyed. The fight should be
hard and fierce. Down with the trusts!

tain classes. 1t may be that the work.
ingmen Of the country are in no better
condition than they were in former
years, so far as wages are concerned,
for the advance in the cost Of living

wages. Still, they L in much better
condition in other ways. Where two
years ago hundreds of thousands Of
workingmen were idle, they are now
employed, and their wages have kept
pace with the increased cost of living.
This is evidence of general prosper
ity, for the advance in nearly all COM

producers, the farmers.

not been followed by an advance in

A Wonderfully Good Record,

A Wonderfully Good Record.
Last weeks statement Of business
failures in the United States was the
best made in q long time. Many other
weeks this year have shown remark
able improvement compared with the
good conditions existing in 1893, but
last week was a record-breaker.
In the corresponding part. Of last
year the number Of failures reported to
r. G. Dun & Co. was 232. The latest
figures are only 141. The decrease, for
a single week, is 100. That is a falling
off of no less than AZ per cent. 1t is at
the rate of about 800 failures in a
year.
Such figures are nothing less than
the evidence of a revolution in bust
ness conditions, and it must be borne
in mind that the state of trade and in
dustry was not bad a year ago. The
rate of improvement is the most extra
ordinary which can be found, taking
into account the comparative good con-
ditions which existed in 1898. The
present state of business is excellent
and the outlook is good.

The Ouay Trial.

The Quay trial closed last Fri
day morning, the jury declaring
Senator Quay "Not Guilty" as
every fair minded person who read
and knew the inwardness of the
persecution expected. The verdict
was accepted with great enthusiasm
all over the State and congratula-
tory kilograms by the hundreds
poured in upon the Senator from all
sections of the State, in fact from
all over the Union. Governor w.
A. Stone promptly appointed Sena-
tor Quay United States Senator, as
he had d perfect right to do and his
course is endorsed by all consistent,
right-thinking Republicans, who
believe in majority rule. Col.
Quay was the nominee Of the Re-
publican party in convention as
sembled according to the time
honored custom and Gov, Stone
could not honorably do otherwise
than appoint Senator Quay his own
successor. The United States SEN
ate will undoubtedly accept the
Governor certificate and we
would not be surprised should he
be unanimously accepted by the
Senate. While great credit is due
to Senator Quay attorneys, as well
as loyal friends throughout the
state, the greatest credit isgiven, and
justly too, to the stalwart Repub-
lican journal, the Philadelphia
Inquirer. for the gallant fight it
made in behalf OF honesty and fair
ness. All honor to the Inquirer.

PENNSYLVANIA for Ouay.

The Inquirer long ago warned
the Quay haters what the result of
their malicious attacks would be.
They We're told that they were
OVERRIDING the thing; that their
spite had throttled truth and
justice; that they were making a
martyr of the man they wanted to
ruin, and that the end of their
despicable attempts to destroy
would be a popular demonstration
in favor Of their would-be victim.
The columns of kilograms which
we have printed from the editors
of the newspapers of this State con-
graduating The Inquirer upon its
course in denouncing hypocritical
pretenders and in exposing politi-
cal conspiracy alone bear evidence of
the deep resentment that is held in
Pennsylvania against those who
so maligned a Senator of the
United States. The verdict of ac-
quittal, of complete vindication, is
popular in the extreme. In every
county in this grand old Common
wealth an enthusiastic people cheer
for Quay and denounce his defam-
ers. They have long had their
way. They have charged him
with every crime in the category,
and now that he has faced them in
court and that every miserable,
lying charge has been clearly re-
futcd and shown to be the offspring
of malice welded to revenge, the
revolution has come. The accus-
ers are proved to be villifers and
to-day the most popular man in
Pennsylvania is Matthew Stanley
Quay.
What could these contemplate
defamers have expected? They
knew that when they went upon
the stump their denunciations of
Quay were gathered from the foul
pits of malignant falsehood. They
must have realized that the time
for their exposure would certainly
come, and now disaster has over
taken them and instead of tearing
Quay down they have elevated him
to a pedestal such as he has never
occupied. The common people, the
people that Abraham Lincoln de-
lighted to refer to-for he was one
OF them-know the difference be-
tween right and wrong and can
distinguish between the hypocrite
and the outspoken man. The
common people hate false pretense
and malice, and when a man, no
matter what his station in life, is
unjustly accused, they are quick
to resent the injustice done him.
1t is no wonder then. that Penn
sylvania is fairly ablaze with Quay
enthusiasm and that in the opinion
of Lincoln's common people the
meanest men alive are those who
have joined in the Great Man
Hunt, for they have been over
whelmed in the midst of their own
lies and their sins have found them
out.
And 50 malice has had its day
and those who have tried to bring
disgrace upon pennsylvania have
only succeeded in bringing dis
grace upon themselves. The time
