HOW THE PEOPLE Paw.

While the trusts have here and there
increased the wages Of their employees.
which had previously been reduced
from the 1892 scales. they have In every
instance not only added several times
as much IN their own profits and made
the people foot the bill, but they have
failed also to restore wages to the old
standard before what has been called
hard times reductions. The Emporia
Times has taken the trouble to obtain
from the merchants OF that city the
increase In price Of articles Of neces-
sity as compared with the selling price
one year ago. Here are the figures It
gives:
Stoves have Increased so per cent.
Wagons have increased from four 20
Ave dollars.
Copper has doubled In price.
Fourtsen-inch plows that sold for
SO now sell for s14.
Ropes that sold for s cents a pound
now sell for II cents.
A common stove pipe sold for 10
cents; now II goes at 20 cents.
Bolts and rods have gone up rs per
cent.
Tin has increased from $50 to 81 a
box.
Cultivators have increased from ss
to "a.
Hoes. forks. rakes, shovels, spades.
and all such articles have gone IN 10
the consumer IS per cent.
Nails. per key. from $3.50 to $40.
Barbed wire, galvanized, from 81. 40
q hundred pounds to $3.50.
Binder Irvine, which cost 7 eents @
pound. now costs from IL cents to 13IL
cents
Glass has increased 10 per cent
Other articles Of general use snow q
like increase in cost to the consumer
In every instance the trust has added
enormous profits. every cent Of which
must come out OF the people who have

boasted Mckinley prosperity."-r

A correspondent OF the Troy Times
has been making big eyes-as well he
might-over a copy Of the Boston
Athenaeum Of April Is, 1928. which
contained a picture, copied from q
London paper. representing a veritable
automobile vehicle invented by a
man named Quincy. who had taken
out patent for IT. 1t was coach-like
in form, was designed for steam pro-
pulsion. and could be easily controlled
by the driver. The description was
followed by prophecy that eff his in
vention should reach its expected per-
fiction" its economical character
would doubtless lead to universal
patronage" The expected perfection
is not yet; but "a man named Quincy"
deserves to be remembered.

Many years ago a New Hampshire

Many years ago a New Hampshire
physician was stunned by the prema-
ture discharge Of blast. He related
aftervard the fact that in the moment
Of the explosion he had time for the
swift passage Of three thoughts
through his mind: "I am a dead man!
What will become Of my family? We
are all in the hands OF Cod" Curl
ously enough, the prince OF Wales
made use of this last impressive SEN
tence on his first public appearance in
England after the recent attempt at
his assassination: I'VE are all in the
hands Of Godi" What II the conscious
ness Of helpless dependence which men
feel In q crisis Of extreme physical
danger could become q habitual at
titude OF trust, and thus q fountain Of
JOY?

Some weeks ago q den OF foxes was
discovered on the bank Of the Miami
river near Redbank, by three boys,
John Balm. Lewis Shumate and q boy
named Lloyd. Young Lloyd took two
q them to his fathers place near Red

foxes bark at night, and on Saturday

eommotion In the barnyard, went out
and saw the parent foxes scurry away.
He then went 10 the kennel and found
that the cords which had confined the

When the conductor Of q north

Chicago Chronicle. The door was

with the intention OF dropping and

was a bit Of strategy to his credit He
walked up to the front door as though
he had urgent business on the othei

The door was shut-shut tight and re-

BRYAN-BLAINE-

In the corridor OF the Hoffman
| House. in New York, prosperous
| looking citizen was heard to remark
| to a friend the other evening: Il am
a Republican and always have been
but want to tell you that this man
| Bryan Is the greatest political leader
this country has had in 25 years. with
the possible exception OF Blaine" This
was the recognition Of a representative
OF New York's commercial interests OF
the foremost Democrat Of the age
and its foremost Democrat Ii always
the greatest man in any country or OF
any age.
This declaration suggested the
points OF similarity and difference IN
the personality and character and
craftsmanship Of Bryan and Blaine.
That James G. Blaine had q personal
ity so engaging and commanding as to
inspire immediate admiration and to
win lasting respect Is the admission or
bis bitterest foe. He was magnetic. In
wit. ready. in speech. eloquent. in am
bition, great, In manners. aRable, in
learning. not profound nor accurate.
nor yet superficial, but well informed
and always able to make the best pos
sible use Of what he knew and OF what
he had. James G. Blaine was gifted
by nature for parliamentary leader
ship. Not since William Pitt has he
had a superior. II, INDEED. q peer. in
that respect.
In all these elements OF greatness
Bryan resembles Blaine. except In the
greater accuracy Of the formers learn
ing and the profounder quality OF his
mind. But where Blaine was weak.
Bryan is strong. Blaine represents
the craftsmanship OF expsdiency. Bry-
an that OF principles. In the quality
OF moral courage and devotion To
ideals Bryan is ideal. Bryan has all
the substantial elements OF character
which Blaine possessed and happily
for his party and his fame he has
none OF those temperamental weak
nesses which injured the party and
which compromise the fame OF blaine.

THE STOCK MARKET.

Prtccs Extremely Irregular and con- fused.
 New York May 15.--Operations in the stock market continued largely in pro fessional hands to-day. Prices were eX- ceedingly irregular and confused all day. Generally speaking it could fairly l be said that railroad stocks were firm | to strong. while the industrials were weak There was a brief show of strength after the opening by Federal Steel and Steel and Wire, probably on covering of shorts sold in yesterday 3 break, but in the late trading these stocks a9 well as others of the group fell to the lowest on the present move rnent. The extreme declines ranged all | the way from to nearly 6 points, the latter Tennessee Coal There was no definite news to account for the weak ness, but rumors were plentiful that ] dividends would be reduced or passed | and that further deep cuts were pend- l ing in the price of the output ot the l largest competitor of the steel com | panies whose stocks are dealt in on the l stock exchange. The declaration or ! first dividend on the common stock or | National Tube and the reports of the reopening of sundry mills had no effect
 | in checking the decline, Among the notable exceptions to the weakness ln
 | the industrial department were the 1 group of New York city stocks lnclud- | ing American Ice. Consolidated Gas
 l led in the rise of points and the local
 l fractions also responded A meeting or
 | the directors of the American Sugar Refining company caused an uneasy | demand from the shorts which llfted
 | the stock at one time IA In the rail-
 road list Burlington continued in good demand at an extreme advance of 5-S,
 | in spite of denials of the rumored re- l funding plan. The granger group and 1 western railroad stocks were most ben efitted in sympathy and showed good | advances, in spite of reports Of declin-
 | ing traffic. both east and west bound.
 l There was said to be large buying for account of an outstanding short inter est in the west In the railroad list. The international department was helped by some buying for London account, where l prices rallied on easier money and the encouraging war news. The relief to 1 the London money market afforded by the receipts of Russian gold arouses the hope that no immediate demand 1 will be made on New York by London for gold The statement of the April
 foreign trade of the United States, dis | closing maintenance of extraordinar- lily favorable conditions alleviated | somewhat the effect of the evidences of continued reaction in interior trade. The market closed heavy and unsettled | by the break in the steel industrials the railroad stocks holding only part of their gain,
