be controlled entirely by the Sugar
Trust. 1t has been pretty well
shown by testimony before Con-
gressioual Committees and Com
missions that the supposition is
well based. Incidently the mer-
chant stated that Arbuckle was
supposed either to be in the Trust
at present or soon would be.
The Cracker Trust.
The cracker Trnst is very
strong and is known by the name of
the National Biscult Company. Its
method of freezing out competition
is very similar to those of the other
trusts. The employees in his factory
numbered perhaps, 100, and for
some time he successfully withstood
the efforts of the trust to run his
business. Finally, however, he
was forced, by repeated cuts in the
price of crackers and small cakes,
to sell out to the trust BY this
nearly 100 men were thrown out of
employ ment. The product of the
cracker factories has risen in price
from time to time, and although the
quality of the goods put out by it
has proven in many cases to be
very much inferior to those made
by private factories they sell in the
market at higher prices.
The Baking Powder Trust.
The Baking Powder Trust is,
after the Sugar Trust, perhaps the
most remorseful in it's methods.
Denials are constant that there is
Baking Powder Trust, but the
facts show differently. l. is sup
posed that Price of Chicago, and
the Royal Company control the
Baking Powder industry. The
Royal Company employs, instead Of
ordinary salesman, men who might
be called travelling inspectors.
They visit the stores of merchants
andl either by questioning or by
general observation see VIII
brands are handled by him. If it
is found that other brands than
that of the Royal Company are sold
every effort is made to prevent
them from handling them in the flu
ture. There are other and better
brands than the Royal, but a de-
mand that is general and wide
spread is created by the enormous
expenditure for advertising pur-
poses. The other brands sell for
from 10 to Is cents per pound,
cheaper than the Royal. Some OF
these brands are much better than
the Royal, but the call for them is
very much less. The Royal Com
pany when they find retailer SELL
ing the Royal brand for less than
IS cents per pound refuses to sell
him another pound.
Merchants are furnished a writ
ten agreement which they are COM
PEELED to sign, stating that they
will not sell Royal Baking Powder
for less than As cents per pound.
The Powder costs the Trust from
IS to Is cents per pound to make.
Flour Trust.
"The Flour Trust, backed and
controlled as 1t is bythe Grain and
Elevator Trust, has raised the
price of flour 25c per barrel in the
last week. Still further advances
in flour may be expected within the
next few days.
Other Trusts.
There is the Tack Trust, which
absolutely controls the price of all
tacks and nails. A place in New
England there is a mill for the
manufacture of tacks, and since the
Trust acquired control OF it, the
mill has been shut down and not a
ton Of its nrndnct has been sold.

What Mr.. Towne really means is that
the Democratic party, so-called, Is more
populistic than ever. In fact. it IS 50

OF any difference in the candidates. MI.
Towne sets no store on the alleged oil

Stevenson. He knows that that state

nothing long. 1t is for Bryan and free

The Saunterer takes from the Phila-

follows:

THE SAUNTERER
wilminston's Rialto.

There have been more theatrical peo-
pie in Wilmington this summer than at
any other time in the city's history,
which seems to indicate that Whining
ton holds prominent position on the
show peoples map. They are, however,
rapidly leaving now for other other cities
to begin rehearsing with their conpa-
nies, but most of them were so impressed
with the comforts and pleasures of the
place, that they will be back with us
again when their tours are over.
Press Representative Campbell OF the
New Academy OF Music, in commenting
on this last night said to the Saunterer,
II could easily have imagined myself in
