TRUSTS VS.. MINERS.

MIR. Chandler. in his speech the
other night, made light OF the extor.
lions practiced by the trusts. As al
example Of what the smelling trust is
doing for the miners OF this State, a
mine owner, who ships ore from Elko
to Salt Lake, gives US the following
rs the result of a shipment of a car
load OF ora-30 tops-to the trust
smelters:
A few years ago, when there WAS
competition among the smeltcrs in
Salt Lake, the smelling charges
were "a per ton. Tho charges on the
carload referred to, shipped last fall.
were suddenly raised without my
warning to $3.50 per ton, making a
difference tc the shipper of $3.50 per
ton, or 1904 per car. all OF which
went into the pockets OF the trust. In
order to hold the Custom OF the large
ore producers aud keep them from
building and operating smelters, the
trust discriminates in charges against
the small producers and Ill favor 81
those who produce large quantities of
ore.
AS a result Of the before stated ex-
t%ortionate charges, the mine owner
referred TO has been compelled to lie.

lately, when nc was induced To try Il
shipment to Il smelling company not
III the trust, who have promised to
give better terms. Unless such bet.
ter terms are given the property will
have to be closed down indefinitely.
This Is but one Instance OF the ex-
tortions practiced against the people
Of this State by ;!ia ;raS:a, bat It
shows plainly how it affects the min
ing industry OF the State. Under a
system of independent smclters. the
miner could have his ore, of the
grade referred to, worked in Salt
Lake for 81 per ton, and receive IL
fair return for his labor, but under
the smelling trust he is compelled to
pay $3.50 per ton, the difference,
$3.50 going into the packets "t the
combine. The result of this sail lac
that the miner who is producing II
small quantity of ore will be forced
to close his nine, prospecting will be
stopped and the whole mining III.

IL the F.lipinos have n right to

support OF nearly every Democratic

SOME POINTED OBSERVATIONS
ON LIVE TOPICS OF THE DAY.
by william j. Bryan.

Trade cannot be permanently pro.
htable unles it is voluntary. When
trade is secured by force the cost of
securing it and retaining it must he
taken out OF the profile and the pro-
fits are never large enough to cover
the expenses. Such a system would
W. be defended but for the fact
that the expense is borne by all the
people, while the profits are enjoyed
blythe few.
Imperialism would be profitable to
the army contractors; it would be pro-
itable to the ship owners who would
carry live soldiers to the Philippines
and bring dead soldiers back; it
would be profitableto those who would
size up the franchises, and it would
be profitable to the officials whose
salaries would be fixed here and paid
over there. But the farmer, to the
laboring man and to the vast majority
OF those engaged i'll other occupations
it would bring expenditure without
return, and risk without reward.
The religious argument varies in
positiveness from "A passive belief that
