BE A TRUST OR BUST.

According to the plan outlined in
yesterdays Herald. the lead producers
of Utah are going To organize them
selves into an annex of the smelter
trust for the purpose of securing Oetter
prices for their lead "and other pro-
ducts"
Briefly stated. the plan is to assess
every producer a stated percentage of
his receipts for lead. This sum is to
be pooled and used in the purchase Of
surplus lead, which will be shipped
abroad, so the price to American con-
sumers may be advanced. The producer
who does not join is promised such
treatment as trusts always administer
10 Independent people. namely, bank
ruptcy, or at the best heavy financial
loss.
The significant feature of the situa-
ton IS that the smelter trust has been
able to bring the miners to 10 its bid
ding. The process was very simple.
Controlling the -1arket entirely, the
smelter combination dropped the price
on lead from time to time until, in a
short period, it had gone down 20 to
so cents a hundred. When the miners
protested they were met with this prop
osition to join the trust in cornering the
product and exporting the surplus.
Rolling of a wet log couldn't be easier.
There was nothing else left for the con-
sumner to do but get into the trust
wagon, or else get run over.
% ,f
est to see how the plan viii work. The
miner takes money out Of his pocket.
hands = over To the smelter trust fer
use in manipulation of the lead market,
and depends on the honesty ana liber-
ahty Of the trust for his proportionate
share of the extra profits which are to
come from the American consumer.
This may prove a wise arrangement.
even if It is palpably illegal, but the
chances are against it's permanenCe for
several reasons. First, there is sure to
be trouble over the division of the
spoi!s: and since the smeIter trust is
TO handle the money, it is easy to guess
who will get the worst of the final set
Element Then the American consumer
may contribute some difficulty. He is
long suffering. and stands robbery with
compIacence up to a certain point, but
the indications show he has about
reached the limit Of his endurance. The
barbed wire trust has already discOv-
cred that fact, and has a large stock
of hfgh-priced goods left on its hands
because it was too greedy and the con-
sumner quit buying.
And in all the negotiations leading up
to this new combination there has been
none of the eloquent talk one heard in
the late congressional campaign. about
the benign influence Of the Dingley tar
if on the price of lead. Even the Re
publican lead miners have discovered
that the tariff affects the smelter trust
quotations on lead about as much as it
affects a highwayman's tariff on stage
traffic.
It is a case of join the trust or bust,
and the Utah mine-owners evidently
prefer TO Join.

THE MINERAL PRODUCTION.


The Engineering and Mining Journal of
June 9th published the fun tables of
mineral and metal production OF the
United States in 1899 as prepared Tor the
Mineral Industry, volume S. The total
value of this output as estimated at The
mines or places of production was SILL

tory of the United States or of any other
country. This total, however, necessarily
includes certain Implications, which
amounted TO S92, 5Sl O3l, making the total

ing an increase in 1883 Of S3l9, 20, lyt, or
So. 9 per cent. This enormous Increase was
in part due to an increase IN quantities,
and in part to the great advance IN values
of iron steel, copper and other metals
The United States last year was the
greatest producer Of coal, salt iron, cop
per. silver and lead In the world, and was
also a leader in the production 81 many Of
the less important metals. The value of
its mineral production now far exceeds
that of any other country. OF the total
in 1899, crude ores and minerals con-
tTibuted $3.50 S36, eS2, metals reduced from
our own ores, 1896 057, 320, secondary pro-
ducts such as alum, white lead, soda, etc,
$50 996 969; while the value Of metals
smelted or refined from foreign material
was $70,4n,540.

TRIPLES!

Our cars are no better-in themselves
than the cars Of other lines. 1t is
what is INSIDE them that makes them
more comfortable.
For instance: The seats in our re-
elining chair cars are provided with
linen head pieces-clean and cool. Our
dining cars have electric fans, and are
gorgeousIy decorated with flowers. In
every car is a thermometer. which the
porter constantly eonsults in order to
keep the temperature of his car as
nearly uniform as possible.
BY themselves, these things are trt-
files, but the sum total of them goes
long way toward making a trip over
the Burlington a mighty enjoyable eX-
perience.

MAINTAINED A SILENCE.

Congress adjourned without taking
any action on the resolution introduced
by Senator Mason last Tuesday ex-
pressing a hope that the war in South
Africa may cease at an early date, 4"
and upon terms satisfactory to those
engaged therein including independ-
ence for the South African republics. -
Those are sentiments to which any
American should be able TO subscribe.
1t is strange that great political
party in this country should refuse TO
feel or express sympathies that all
parties felt in the early days of this
republic and that found free and
hearty official expression in those
courageous times.
The sympathy and best wishes of
the American people in the past have
invariably been with people struggling
for national independence; it was with
Poland. with Greece, with Hungary
and with Ireland. It ordered imperial
ism to begone from Mexico. 1t drove
imperial Spain from Cuba and Porto
Rico. It has never failed before to
speak up promptly and emphaticaIly
whenever a monarchy has sought to
destroy a republic
Whatever one may think of the
merits of the South African contro-
versy, of the justice or injustice of
British demands. of the worthiness or
unwOrthiness of the Boer leaders, there
can be but one American opinion of
the war, so far as its purpose, avowed
or concealed. has been the extinction
Of the BOer republics.
In the light of American history, OF
appeals sent to the powers of Europe
by the American colonists, no true
American will look with satisfaction
or approval upon the destruction of
these republics or their reduction to
mere dependencies of Great Britain

At three O'Clock the grand jury entered
the court room and presented batch Of

Apropos OF the discussion In the Board

Trunk, in carrying out its plan OF en-
largiDg Its terminal here would shortly
remove the round house at the foot OF
India street to East Deering, and turn
all Of the land now occupied by the depot
and other buildings there into freight
yard. Ii is also contemplated In the
general plan OF enlargement to build at
least two new docks between the present
coal dock at Fish Point and the other
shipping docks. This may not be done
this year, coming, but plans have been
made for this work, which Will be car
ried out some time In the near future.
With these increased facilities the Grand
Trunk win be able to handle an immense
amount OF business at its termi nal here.
1t was stated few days ago that rep

presumably the Canadian Pacific Rail-
road, had been looking over the Fall
mouth shore for some miles, with view
to seeing whether or not railroad termi-
nal could be located there. The idea Is
to construct long docks of this shore,
which is well sheltered and which admit
of easy approach for ships of large
draught, thus relieving the company of
the necessity of paying exorbitant prices
for property along the upper harhor front
in Portland, and giving them plenty OF
room In which to extend as time goes on.
IL is said that as a matter Of fact 1t
would be an ideal place TO construct a
railroad terminal, and 1t may be that the
time VIII come when much of the heavy
shipping win be done along this shore.

MISCELLANEOUS.
HOW A PRETTY SOCIETY GIRL
ESCAPED DREAD CONSUMPTION.
Peruna Used in Time Saved Her Life.
AIRS Wen That Ends Well


1t Is the same old story of exposure TO
cold. The cold passing down the bron-
chial tubes to the lungs the developing
of settled cold on the lungs, coughing,
expeotoration. This Is a short road to
consumption. Thousands of people
have travelled IL. Thousands more will
travel IL and the coming winter will
develop an untold multitude of new
cases.
In the case OF Helen Murphy the end
ing was happy one. She started on
the road to consumption after catching
cold at q reception. Instead of waiting
until she became inourable. Peruna was
resorted TO and her life was saved
1t Is pity that every one else in this
wide land could not know of this very
effective remedy in such cases. The
news is spreading fast but great many
people have not yet heard that Peruna
is a sure cure in these eases
Peruna cures acute catarrh and chronic
catarrh catarrh of the head and catarrh
of the lungsj catarrh of the throat and
catarrh of the stomach. Wherever ca
tarrh may have located itself, whether
in the digestive organs, kidneys or pei
vic organs, Peruna is sure to eradicate
the disease promptly.
Another case where consumption was
cheated of its prey occurred in the state
of Iowa. The report OF the case created
considerable attention at the time and
was furnished us unsolicited by Mr..
Henrickson. In a letter to DR.. Hartman
he sets forth some interesting details of
his rescue from consumption. Hemade
use of the following language:
at have been for years constant suf
ferer from chronic catarrh of the head
and throat, which finally worked down
into the air passages. In the spring of
,9S took severe cold and coughed all
summer. thought had consumption
Then had bad attack of Ia grippe.
After taking course Of Peruna l feel
cured of all these troubles. -
Whenever any of our children get sick
we give them Peruna, and it never fails
to cure them. l most heartily testify to
the value of Peruna in cases of catarrh
and la grippe. 1 hope this may be the
means of others suffering as I did to
take Peruna and be cured. We would
not be without it in the house."
