j. e. ScaSe, OF the Leader, returned
last night from an extended pur-
chasing tour in the east. He was in
New York greater portion of two
weeks, during which time he made
extensive purchases for the fall and
winter trade. Mr.. Scase said this
morning that he never saw business
as good as it is this fall, and that
that was the sentiment of all the big
wholesale firms in the east. He said
the big maket was filled with mer-
chants from all parts of the country,
and every one of them was buying
heavily. "They seemed to have lost
all sight of the fact that there is to
be an election" said Mr.. Scase,
"and were buying on the superstition
that Mckinley will be elected, and a
continuation of prosperity assured

THE HOME OF TRUSTS.

That there is nothing new under the
sun. and that China is the home OF
many OF the inventions Of which our
modern civilization is so proud, are
propositions quite generally accepted as
true. Now comes a writer in q French
magazine and claims that trusts, too.
originated IN China, and that they have
hourished there for centuries.
The writer says that the tea trade In
northern China is IN the hands Of two
families. and that they have come into
possession by means Of inheritance. The
banking business Is controlled in sim
liar way
II is further asserted Of the Chinese
trusts that they. insist on honest deal
ings among their own members. They
control prices. but they also see TO 1t
that dealers do not oyercharge, and that
they deliver honest goods. The bank
ing trust watches individual bankers to
see that they do not unwisely bring dis
credit upon The fraternity.
II this is correct representation OF
the case. students Of the trust problem
should not fail TO Investigate the
effects In the Mongollan empire.
They would probably come to the con-
cluslon that an institution belonging to
the peculiar Aslauc civilization repre-
sented by John, is hardly suitable for
transplantIng on American soil. In
countries whore a paternal government
holds sway, a great many things are
proper. which are a detriment TO free
institutions. Anything that makes free
competition impossible necessarily be-
longs to this class.
