The Trust Snake.

Very curious have been the many ex-
expressions on the subject oftrusts during
the past year, writes John Brisbane
Walker in July Cosmopolitan. A quar-
terly dividend of twenty million dollars
for the Standard Oil Company, and
nearly forty-two million dollars profit for
one member of the Steel Trust-Mr. Car
negie's end of it-for one year, are facts
sufficiently surprising to startle even the
deaf and dumb.
We should think such facts ought to
startle, but do they startle men who are
not dumb and contemplate voting for
their continuance?
Stop moment and figure. The prop
erty of Cecil county, real personal and
mixed is assessed in round numbers at
$I3, 600, 900. One trust anaconda swal-
lows in one year three counties like Cecil,
not only the farms, with their houses,
barns, stock, implements and machinery,
but the villages, stores, factories and all
the household goods. This is one years
meal for one of the trust anacondas Are
you farmers going to vote next fall for a
resting place for all of your belongings
in the belly of one of these trust snakes i?
