a Typical Trust ExactIon.

Less than a year ago every work
man in the country could buy oil for
his lamps at cents a gallon in
cans. The Standard Oil company has
since successively raised the price to
II cents. and the New Yolk World an
noun ces that it has now sent out
notification to consumers an
nouncing an addition of another cent
per gallon to 90 in effect Feb. IA. This
is an advance of ) cents a gallon,
or 62I per cent, within less than a
year.
What is the excuse? What the rea-
son? 1t costs less, not more, to pro-
duce the crude oil now than it did a
year ago. 1t costs less, not more, to
refine and deliver it.
The Standard Oil company last year
paid 80 per cent dividends on largely
fictitious capitalization OF 800. .O0O,-
900. With such profits to the good. It
has certainly no excuse for increasing
the price of its commodity by 624 per
cent But to the second question.
..What is the reason?" the answer is
easy and obvious. The Standard Oil
company is conspiracy of greed
against need. 1t enjoys monopoly
worse and more oppressive than any
ever granted by the Tudors in Eng
lands most despotic times" 1t is
not satisfied with 80 per cent divf-
dends on its watered stock if by its
monopolistic control of the market it
can make the owners of kerosene
lamps pay more. And it can.
Would Mr.. Mckinley disturb it in
view of what was done during the
canvass last year, - to quote Hepburn,
of the Standard Oil bank, to Gage in
June, 1897?

Question Answered.

Yes, August Flower still has the
largest sale of any medicine in the
civilized world. Your mothers and
grandmothers never thought of using
anything else for indigestion or bill
iousness. Doctors were scarce. and
they seldom heard of appendicitis,
nervous prostration or heart failure,
etc. They used August Flow
er to clean out the system and stop
fermentation of undigested food, reg
ulate the action of the liver, stimulate
the nervous and organic action of the
system, and that is all they took when
feeling dull and bad with headaches
and other aches. You only need a
few doses of Green's August Flower,
in liquid form, to make you satisfied
there is nothing serious the matter
with you. Sample bottles free at T. H.
