New York, Sept. 26.-The body of
VIM. March Rice, the millionaire
whose death last Saturday is the oc-
casion of unusual inquiry, official and
otherwise, was taken to the crema-
tory at Fresh Pond and incerated.
Prof. r. A. Withaus, chemist, will

taken from the body. DR.. A. Burney
Cannon. superintendent of the Belle
vue ~dispensary, said that embalming
fluid injected into the body after
death at once destroys every trace of
any vegetable poison which may be
in the body.
Chief of Detectives McClusky said
he had no reason to believe that Rice's
death was the result of murder, or
did he believe that there was any for
gerry connected with the case.

STRUCK AGAINST A DECREASE.
Two Hundred Employees of the Page
Boiler Co., Mt Norwich, Conn,
Quit Work..

Norwich, Conn.,, Sept. 26.-Two hun
dred men employed by the Page
Boiler Co. went out on strike when in
formed that a voluntary increase of
ten per cent. in wages, which was
granted in April of this year, no
longer could be paid. Owing to lack
of orders the %company's works were
closed five weeks ago, and when op-
erations were resumed this week an
nouncement was made of the pro-
posed reduction. 1t is claimed by the
company that, even with the ten per
cent. decrease, their men would re-
ceive the regular labor union scale
and that the strikers thereupon will
not be upheld by the national union.

The prices of window glass in the
United States are twice what they are

of the trusts control of the American
market is strongly brought out by a
Worker, which in its issue of October
FL, 1899. said:
From an average price Of about
$1.5operb box for single and two dollars
per box for double-strength in 1893,
the value Of glass has quite doubled, II
not more than doubled.
"Since the existence OF the American
Glass company, the greatest advance
In price has taken place. This company
has managed its affairs without change
practically since its formation, and has
done it so well as to not only control
the product, but to fix the price at the
highest possible notch.
"The profits during the last three
years have been enormous. The pool
is said to have made $500, 900 in 1896,

N Issue That In Itself Would Alone
Insure the Election Of
Bryan.

One Of the most vital issues Of the
present campaign is that of the trusts.
1t is an issue because there is abso-
lutely no effectual remedies from the
republican party under its present lead
ership. If there is any one thing more
than another in which the present ad-
ministration has been q conspicuous
failure it is in regard to the trust evil.
And the republican control Of con-
gress, in both branches, has been, and
would remain, II continued, highly ia
vorable to the trusts.
This results from the decay of orig
inal republican principles and the con
trolling influence exercised by such
men as Mark Hanna, who is openly the
friend and protector of trusts. Not
only is this true, but it is also notorious
ly the fact that the republican cam
paign fund has the trusts for its chief
contributors. Knowing Hanna's rec
ord regarding trusts, and mindful that
these great corporations are the chief
benefciaries of the Hanna republican
policy, as well as it's principal cham
pions, can any sensible person believe
that there is the slightest prospect of
relief from trust oppression through
Hanna-directed legislation?
On the other hand. there is absolute
~ no question that Bryan is the earn
est and incorporating foe of trusts,
and that if elected he will exert all his
power and influence to correct the
trust evil.
Every great trust in the country,
The Grenada sentinel. [volume] (Grenada, Miss.) 1868-1955, 1900-09-29

ports, because Of the additional
freights. The factories of the trust are
at Pittsburgh, but Pittsburgh buyers
must pay IA cents a box more than
those of Boston, because foreign glass
is that much cheaper in Boston.
1t is said hat the United States IL
divided by this glass trust into six diff.
ferent districts, in each of which a Diff
ferent scale of prices exists, Accord
ing to the cost of laying down imported
glass.
The consumption of window glass in
this country amounts to about $780,
600 boxes yearly, and all but about 10
per cent. of this is supplied by tho
American factories. The trust has free
natural gas at Pittsburgh, and other ia
%cilities for cheap production that are
unrivaled abroad, and yet it is exacting
from American twice the
price that is charged for the same
class OF goods made in foreign factories.
You cannot look out Of the window
without indirectly paying tribute to a
trust.
1t is the same with plate glass as
with common glass. There is a trust
in plate glass also. 1t is known as
the Pittsburgh Plate Glass company,
with a capital stock of $40, 900, 900.
1t controls two-thirds of the plate
glass production of the United States
and has IAN understanding with the
factories outside the trust. This
concern has doubled prices in the
past two years. Although it bleeds
consumers it Expresses its workers,
paying them low wages and forbid.
ding them to join or organize any
union. And yet it profits by high du.
ties, which are pretended to be for
the purpose of protecting American
labor" but in reality for the means
of robbing the American consumer
and expressing the American glass
worker.
There are a NUMBER OF the trusts
in the various branches Of the glass
industry, such as the National Mir.
ror Manufacturers association, which
met last September and arbitrarily
raised prices from ten to fifteen pei
cent.
The system Of plumber and extor-
tion practiced by the American Glass
company and the Pittsburgh Plate
Glass company is MT exceptional, but
merely illustrative. All the great
trusts follow the. same methods. BY
the consolidation of many plants some
economies are effected, but these are
more than Offset by the watering OF
stock, requiring dividends far in ex
cess of a fair return on the actual
cost of plants is wiung from con.
sumers through extortionate prices.

without regard to the past political
affiliations of any Of its stockholders,
will oppose Bryan's election and con-
tribute freely to the Mckinley COM
paign fund.
If the extent of the trust evil could
be brought home to every voter in the
land. this one issue alone would be suf-
ficient to insure the election of Bryan.
But few of the people realize how out
rageously they are being robbed by
the thousands Of trusts that have fas-
tened upon all the great manufacturing
industries of the country. The public
have but a faint idea OF the ~extortion
practiced by the trusts, of their sitting
of competition, their determinations
in favor of foreign buyers, their e~nslav-
ing of labor and their dangerous grip
upon state governments as well as upon
congress and the executive.
One of the questions to be decided
in November is this: SHALL THE
GOVERNMENT CONTROL THE
TRUSTS. OR THE TRUSTS CONTROL
THE GOVERNMENT?

DEATH PENALTY IMPOSED.
Verdict of Guilty, with \ Death
Penalty, in b Case Of
James Howard.

Frankfort, KY, Sept. 26.-The jury
in the case of James Howard, tried for
alleged completely in the Goebel as
sassination, returned its verdict at
9:43 a. m. The court DON was
crowded with spectators almost
trembling with suppressed excite
ment. Foreman Crutcher of the jury
passed the written verdict up to the
clerk. Deputy Clerk Elliott read the
verdict, which found the defendant
guilty and affixed his punishment at
death.
Howard occupied a seat by his at
torney. He did not display the least
agitation, and was apparently uncon-
cerned.
The verdict was a surprise, as the
general public were led to believe
that the jury was divided on the
question of the guilt OF innocence of
the defendant. 1t developed that the
delay in reaching a verdict was over
the degree of punishment, some of
the jurors favoring the life imprison-
ment, while others stood out for the
death penalty, and finally won their
associates over.
One of the jurors, after the jury
had been discharged, stated that a
number of ballots were taken, but
the first ballot resulted in a unan-
imous verdict of guilty. After that,
the ballots were as to the degree of
punishment, and on several ballots
ten members voted for the death pen
atty, while two voted for life impris-
onment. This was while the Jurors
were in the jury room Tuesday af-
ternoon. The first ballot Wednes-
day resulted in a verdict. The two
jurors who had voted for life impris-
onment gave in to the majority and
voted for the death penalty.
After the verdict had been rendered
Howard was remanded to jail, where
he was followed by his bosom friend,
John G. White, who seemd almost
paralyzed by the verdict. Towards
cheeks also blanched as he stood up
to accompany the jailer back to his
cell. The jury which tried the case
was divided politically, nine demo-
Gratis, one republican and two anti
Goebel democrats.
