drowned in the Wisconsin river n,&,@' Kill

he was fishing with the cattle bayet not
long ago, when he told him dow he had
dreamed of drowning in the river, Mr..
Holcombe described rocky point which
he saw in the dream and also described
the sensation of losing his life in the
water in exactly the same way he is sup
posed to have been drowned. The rocky
place to which he was traced il a eoun-

THE DEMOCRATIC SOLUTION
Applied to the Trust Problem Would
Cause Industrial DenreSs,on


Cause Industrial Depression.
With the Democratic denunciations
OF the large combinations of capital,
currently styled trus 5, there is large
Mount of sympathy. especially when
such denuneiations are directed against
combinations which aim at monopoly
and artificially enhanced prices. The
real question to be considered by the
voters, however. is what remedy does
the Democratic party propose to apply :?
On this point Mr.. Bryan and his fol-
lowers have changed front About
year ago Mr.. Bryan's suggestion was
for constitutional amendment, giving
Congress power to regulate, control or
abolish such combinations. The Re
publicans in The lower house of Con
gress offered such an amendment. and
. the Democrats promptly defeated it.
That ground was then abandoned, and
the sole suggestion put forward by the
Democrats to-day for the suppression
of trusts is the abolition of the protec-
tive tariff. For the purpose of their
argument, that the protective tariff is
responsible for trusts, they are ce:n-
PEELED to either ignore or manufacture
facts For example, they overlook the
fact that neither the Standard Oil Com
pany, the sugar trust, the copper trust,
orany of the really monopolistic trusts
are to-day under tariff protection, and
consequently the suggested remedy
would not affect them in the slightest
degree. In the second place they hold,
without warrant OF fact that trusts
could not exist under system of free
trade.

The charred remains of man were
taken from the barber shop of Charles
Ward at West Superior after fire had
destroyed that place. 1t was supposed
that the remains were those of Ward, as
he slept in that room. His wife and
friends have tried to identify the body,
but have failed. 1t is claimed that the
body is too small to be Wards, and the
head appears to be that of negro in
stead of a white man. This leads to sus-
picion of foul play, but no marks have
been found confirming the suspicious.

ering of Industrial statistics, has some
thing TO say on this subject in a recent
issue. This journal shows that within
the past three years there have been
organized in free trade England 800 in
dustrial combinations, with capit9l ag-
gregating 750000,O0O marks. OF these
the largest is that of the calico print
ers, consisting of sixty concerns, with
a capital of nearly 200,000,000 marks
next, tLirty-one cotton thread manu-
factories, with capital of 120,000,000
marks; followed by the Bradford dyers'
trust, twenty-five concerns, with 3d.
100000 marks, and rhe wall paper
trust, twenty-eight concerns, with So
100000 marks of capitalization.
These facts absolutely destroy any
theory to the effect that a destruction
of the protective tariff would necessar
lily prevent the formation of trusts,
while keeping other manufactures
open. 1t is well understood, however,
that a withdrawal of the protective
tariff would have a detrimental effect
upon trusts, not. however, as trusts,
but as manufactures. The experiment
of the Wilson bill showed that conclu-
sively. A withdrawal of protection
means the closing down of a large per-
centage of the mills in the United
States. Among those which would suf-
fer, of course, would be the overcapi-
talized trusts, with heavy bonded in
debtedness, but they would suffer no
more and no less than the individual
concerns operating outside of any trust
or combination.
The principal sufferers by any such
drastic legislation as this would be the
men employed in the manufacturers
which would be compelled to suspend.
With the wages of these men cut off,
and their running expenses reduced to
the lowest possible ebb, the next suf-
ferers would be tncse who have been
heretofore and are now catering to the
wants of the men employed in manu-
factories. And so itHwould extend. I'M
