TRUsT9
tiopes 70 Dispose Of rs Rival by
Absorption.


New York. August 2-The Ar.
buckle Brothers have offered an
extra ] per cent discount to gro
GERS, a move against which the
trust has steadily fought. The in
cident is the first sign of a break
between the various sugar inter
ests. The American company re-
fused to meet the cut. but is using
the National company to fight its
rivals. The National is practically
under the Americans control.
The sugar situation can be
stated as follows: The trust is in
active negotiations to absorb the
Arbuckle plant, but the consider
alton is not agreed upon. The lat
ter are heartily tired of the sugar
strike and the former seems deter
mined to do away with its opponent
in the trade. Occasional breakings
off in the negotiations produce re-
suits like the present cut blythe Ar
buckles, but nevertheless the ter
mination of the trouble will in all
probability be the predicted ANAL
gamation of sugar interests.

NatiekSA COMMITTEE on Trusts.
A presidential campaign always
brings a lot of people to the top
who say funny things" said j. E.
Pitts, secretary of the National
Committee of travelling statesmen.
"Sam Jones said this down in
Galesburg, H., July 80:
You say the trusts are bad,
but before the trusts came paid
more for things than now. | like
trusts; they cheaper things. l
believe trusts and combines have
cheapened everything for the COM
mon people. Hear me. the trusts
won't hurt me.
The trusts may skip Sam. but
they haven't skipped the common
people, Take sugar, for instance.
That is an article of as common
consumption as any on the list.
Attorney General Monett of Ohio,
who is good republican authority,
says that when the sugar refining
trust raised the price of that staple
from So 20 to Sc. 10 per hundred
they took from the American peO-
pie $45, 100000 a year at one
scoop-a tax of over so cents a
head for every man, woman and
child in the land. The second
largest railroad system in the
United States, which operates over
5000 miles, employees 5000 men,
over L, 600 engines and over 40, coo
cars, only makes gross yearly
earnings of an amount equal to
this sum, which this great trust
was able to eXtort from the Amer
ican people by arbitrarily raising
the price of this great necessity.
And yet sam Jones says trusts are
a good thing for the common peo-
pie"

THE Chinese government is now
engaged in desperate diplomatic
fencing to prevent the advance of
the allied forces on the capital.
Their latest proposition is to place
all ministers in Pekin in communi-
cation with their respective govern
ments on condition that the ad-
vance of troops is arrested. The
reply of the United States, that
communication with Conger is a
matter of right and not favor,
doubtless expresses the substance
of the rerlles of the powers. No
halt will be made by the army to
await the issue of diplomatic ne
gotiations which have no more
force or merit than the ones now
in progress. The safety of the
ministers is the first object to be
attained.

The powers have decided to fol-

peror as to the policy to be pur-
sued in China. In his speech to
his troops he told them to take no
prisoners and all the powers have
decided likewise. The fighting in
China will therefore be conducted
under black flags, which are sym

turned loose in the county, but the

meat market and gradually devel-
oped into an important industry

lates his efforts at stock raising
while it saves the grocer freight

they have ever profitably made any

ARCHBOLD IN DEFENCE OF THE
TRUSTS.

John D. Archbold, a director of the
Standard Oil company, has an article in
this months Independent on effect of
Trusts on Labor" Mr.. Archbold be-
gins: II am requested to express my
views relative to the charges so often
made against trusts that they decrease
the number of workingmen employed
and oppress their employees by lowering
their wages and depriving them of inde-
pendence. 1 confidently assert that the
reverse of oil these charges is true"
The Standard Oil magnate thus sums
up his arguments
II claim that aggregations of capital
for industry by means of corporations,
on scale large enough to insure success
through the use of the perfect means,
are decidedly for the advancement of
the laborer, as they increase the number
employed, increase the rate and certain
ty of wages, reduce the price of mater
ials which the laborer consumes, and,
to greater extent than any other form
of industry, distribute their profits
among employees and other small in
vestors.
although much that have said may
seem to be mere theory, know that it
is all true Of the business with which
am connected. It has reduced the price
of it's products, it has paid the best
wages to it's employees, aud payment has
