the corporations are being 'held

No adverse tariff legislation will

Railroad Probabilities.

In the midst OF political turmoil
We should not ioee eight Of the
fact that there are other interests
that should not be neglected. One
OF the most important interests q
this time ID the development Of the
country contiguous to Baton Rouge
and the growth and prosperity Of
that town. Development Of the
country to The East BY . railro d
line would do al the good imsxin-
able and bring us . volume Of trade
far beyond our most sangnine ex.
pectations. The towns that are
growing fastest and OF the must i'm.
portance IN this State arc those with
best railroad facilities, and when
the day arrives that Baton Rouge
is connected with eastern localities
she will become one OF the mist
favored.
Everything now looks ~ il m
Eastern connection is not far dis.
tant. Besides the corps Of engineers
Of thel Baton Rouge, Hammond
and East Louisisns, the Illinois
Central has also entered the field.
Whether or not this means two
separate and distinct lines Of road
We do not know, but the presump-
ton Is that the Illinois Central will
absorb the former. At all events
. road in the near future may be
looked upon rs certain. = Baton

Nails As q Luxury.

The Nail Trust is waxing rich
and fat By advancing the price of
nails from time to time, and there
il much reason TO fear that they
will soon be = luxury. The peo-
pie of Indiana are now protesting
bitterly against the heavy tribute
they are compelled to pay for the
privilege of using nails. The con-
sumption of this article Of com
merce in that State last year ID
placed at 10000, 900 pounds, or
about twenty-eight pounds per
capita for every man. woman and
child. A Pittsburg manufacturer
testified before the tariff commits.
sion last year that both wire and
cut nails could be easily sold At .
fair profit for 81 80 per hundred
pounds. Since that time the cost
of production, if anything, has been
lessened; yet the trust has put the
price of nails up to Is so per hun
dred pounds, representing = clear
profit of about loo per cent. The
people of Indiana declare that on
the item of nails alone they have
been robbed by the trust system Of
81, 400, 900 . year. Nails are IN
absolute necessity because no sub
stltue for them has ever been DIS
covered, hut if the trusts are to CON.
tinue to have their own way neces-
stiles will soon be luxuries.-Daily

One Of the Trusts.

With extraordinary candor, one
of the big trusts of the cnuntry
has recently given an official en-
dorsement and proof of the fact
that it, like Its copgenors, is the
offspring of the tariff and depends
upon Its mother for continued life.
1t has long been known that hum
dreds of articles produced in this
country under tariff protection are
regularly being shipped abroad and
sold there for less prices than are
demanded at home. Among such
articles are playing cards, the
manufacture of which is controlled
BY a trust, which is protected by .
duty of ten cents per deck and
25 per cent ad valorem. As . re-
suit Of this monopoly, the trust in
the past three years has advanced
its prices from 20 to 100 per cent
at home, while exporting cards to
Europe In enormous quantities and
selling them at normal profit, far
below the price demanded in this
country. American dealers, seeing
cards sold by the trust in Europe
at fraction of the cost here, have
sent abroad for them and brought
them back. They have been ad-
mitted free of duty az are other
products of the United States when
reimported, the only cost being for
revenue stamps at the rate of two
cents q deck. The dealers who
get their goods In this way have
been able to undersell the mer-
chants who buy them from the
trust direct. Naturally the latter
have kicked and the trust recently
demanded that the Treasury De-
partment. give it power to seize and
confiscate all cards thus reimported,
ard urged that the customs officials
be ordered to turn such lmporta-
tions into its hands without regard
to the rights of the merchant who
purchased the goods abroad. The
demand was Of course refused, but
the fact that it was made shows
plainly the intimate relations exist
ing between the trust and tariff.
Unless some way can be found to
prevent the Importation, the trust
will have to dissolve. The prln-
cipal is the same, of course,
whether it is applied to playing
cards or TO hardware or any other
article.

The Beneflcent Truth.

The following, published in
Dun's Review last January, shows
how some of Mark Hanna's "aggre-
cations Of wealth" winch are Better
kown as trusts, benefit the people.
"The Nail Trust increased the
price of nails from 81 10 on Jan. 4,
1899, to 81 so on Jan. 5, 1900.
The same trust increased the price
of wire nails from 81 IS to s. ~
during tie same period.
The Structural Iron Company in
creased the price OF structural 40
giles, from 81 Is on Jan. 4, 1899,
to g. 25 on Jan. 3, 1900.
The Coal Trust increased the
price OF anthracite coal from s. "a
on Jan. 4, 1899, to 81 20 on Jan.
8, 1900.
1.-The Glass Trust increased the
price Of glass from - Is on Jan.
4, 1899, to 81 80 on Jan. 5rd, 1900.
1.-The Rubber Trust increased the
price Of rubber from "a cents on
Jan. 4, 1899, to 81 45 on Jan. 8,
1900.
1.-The prices OF boots and shoes,
controlled by the Leather Trust,
show an increase during the veal
1899 on mems grain shoes from 81
cents to 81 II, on Creedmore splits
from 95 cents to 81 10, and . like
increase on all grades Of boots and
shoes.
The price Of cotton goods in.
creased so per cent. White sheet.
ings on Jan. 18th sold at SIS 80
and on Dec. goth at t23."
These are articles for which there
is daily demand and many Of them
are the necesearies Of life, the in.
creased price Of which increases the
expenses Of every poor family in the
country far out Of proportion to any
increase there may have been in the
rates of wages. The prosperity Of
which we hear so much these days
- confined to and enjoyed largely
by the trusts, which Mark Hanna
assures fare g God things" and very
little of it leaks down to the people.
