Profits Of Oil and Steel Plants.

The New York Journal thinks the
immense profits of the oil and steel
trusts will be an issue IN the Presi-
dental campaign. 1t says:
1.-The joint profits of the Standard
Oil Trust and the Carnegie Steel Com
pany amount to $120, 0O0, 900 a year.
That would pay off the entire bonded
debt of the United States in a little
owe eight years. 1t is twice as much
as the whole income of the national
government when Mr.. Carnegie and
MIR. Rockefeller were boys.
THE profits of these two combina
lions are enough in a single year to
absorb almost the whole outstanding
note circulation of the Bank of Eng.
land. In two years they would more
than equal the net stock of gold in the
Treasury of the United States. In 10
months they would match all the gold
In the Imperial Bank of Germany.
They amount to a much as in a single
year as the gold in the national banks
of Italy and spain combined.
1.-The annual profits of these two ag-
gregations of capitalize Standard
Oil Trust and the Carnegie Steel Com
pany-are equivalent to the interest
at 10 per cent. on 81, 200, OOO, 900; and at
5 per cent. on S2.4OO, 900, 900; and at A
per cent. on So, 900, 900, OOO."

The Finest in the CITY.

The American Stock Company NOV
ed this week from it's old store on
South Augusta street to its new and
handsome storeroom on Main street,
erected by Mr.. VIM. Wholey. The
building is attractive inwardly and
%outwardly and when filled with the

ing placed it will compare f~avorably
with those in many of the larger cities.
The American Stock Company will
use both floors. which will give them
every opportunity to make a display
of their goods. The large front win
dows will also be an attraction, espec-
ally when filled with goods and taste
fully dressed, as it is the custom of this
house to do. The room is light and
airy and when everything is gotten In
shape, it will be a treat to inspect it.
Mr.. L. G. Dawson and his corps of as
sistants will be pleased to extend the
glad hand to all visitors in their new
quarters. No trouble to show you
around and far less to show you their
most excellent stock of dry goods, no.
tions, etc.
