|RYAN SAYS that those who
attempt to divide private
D monopolies into good mo-
nopolies and bad monopo-
lies will never make any pro-
gress towards the overthrow of
trusts. But Bryan does not
say word against any monopoly,
however criminal, when his friends
are in it. He says the ice trust is "a
local affair."" This is not true. The
company transacts a wholesale and
retail business in the city of Greater
New York, N. Y; in Philadelphia,
Pa. ia Baltimore, Md; in Washing
ton, D. c.; in Camden, N. j.; in
Lakewood, n. j., and at Atlantic
City, N. j. If Mr.. Bryan wants proof
of this, he can find it in the follow
ing portion of the official report of the
American Ice company to the New
York Stock Exchange, at the time its
directors applied for the listing of
$12,440,0OO preferred stock, and $22,-
9S9,100 common stock, in the dealings
of that Exchanges:
Plants and their location: (a) IL DOCKS situated
in Greater New York; two ice manufactures
situated in Greater New York; (b) plants for
housing ice, situated Oh the Hudson river; (c)
four docks situated in the city of Washington,
ID. c.; two sales depots; ice house on the
otomac river; (d) one plant at Prince George
county. Maryland; (e) three phnts for housing
ice, situated the Kcnnehec river; one plant
for housing ice at Booth Bay, Maine
Croker of Greater New York to the ice
trust has been shown in the granting
of valuable dockage privileges which
no competing Ice concern can get. Two
of Croker's dock commissioners, j. Ser
seant Cram and Charles Il. Murphy,
We're on the recently published list Of
stockholders. The ice trust was given
valuable contracts with the city of
New York, through the official aid and
consent of Croker, Mayor Van Wyck
and others, interested stockholders.
According to the official records the fol-
lowing We're some of the leading Demo-
cratic stockholders a few weeks ago:

At the Chicago trust conference,
September 16, 1899, Bryan said: IT
want to start with the declaration that
monopoly in private hands is inde-
fensible from any standpoint, and intol-
erable. I make no exceptions to the
rule" Now let Mr.. Bryan denounce
the Democratic ice trust, instead of
swinging round the New York circle
on Richard Crokers arm and shouting
the praises of Tammany Hail.

LITERARY NOTES.

A new short story by Robert Barr, entitled
''The Wizard Of Wall Street." in Everybodys
Magazine for November, has never been exceeded
in its quality Of interest by anything from the
pen OF that popular writer. In its conception Of
certain Wall street types, it is peculiarly true to
life. "Kuang Hsu, emperor Of China,' is the
title OF an illustrated article which deals with
the personal side OF that almost unknown per-.
sonality, and which clearly explains the UNDER

Western civilization and OF his evident desire to
adopt measures OF sweeping reform in his empire

Organized labor looks with appre-

We have seen those who know little

OUR TRADE WITH CHINA.

American trade with China shows a more rapid
growth than that Of any of the European coun-
tries. The official reports Of the Chinese gov
ernnent for 1890, the details Of which have Just

that the imports into China from the United
States in that year amounted to 22,2ss,7.5 Haik-

Democracy and Crime,

~ Y OTHING IS more clearly es-
tablished than that idle
L. ness and crime go hand in
hand. Men who are busy
at work under conditions of content
ment have little time to plan evil
deeds and their thoughts do not turn
in that direction. Those policies Of
government which encourage indus
try and stimulate prosperity are,
therefore, beneficial not only from
the material but also from the moral
standpoint.
Thomas w. Barlow, esq.,, of the
Philadelphia bar, late assistant dis
trict attorney, contributes to the
Philadelphia Press some figures which
are instructive in this connection. an
examination made by him of the
criminal records shows the number of
bills of indictment found by the grand
jury in Philadelphia county under a.
Democratic administration to have
