During the recent political campaign
there was very much said to create the
impression that the growth and develop
ment Of trusts was q phenomenon pecu-
liar to che United states Indeed. the
position was natiy taken by certain poll
ticians that trusts were the legitimate
offspring Of protective tariff: and tho
argument advanced that the only practi-
cal mstbod OF reaching the trust evil was
by the withdrawal of protection from
American manufacturers.
The campaign being over. 1t Is possible
to discuss the question without reference
to the effect which the discussion may
have upon the votes in an Immediately
pending election and consequently there
IL At present considerable comment IN
commercial newspapers and certain of the
magazines upon the wonderful expansion
OF the trust idea In England. and the
enormous number Of heavily capitalized
corporations formed to take over and con-
solidate existing plants in various indus
tries in that country
A correspondent in the current number
OF Hradstreet's gives the following list
of the leading trusts which have been
organized In Great Britain within the
last few years:

Sherman antitrust act. IT parcels the
world out among the different manufac-
turing establishments which are in the
combine. and gives to each one an abso-
lutte monopoly Of particular district or
country. An incident showing the method
on which It is conducted arose out Of the
war with Spain. The Spanish thread mar
ket was allotted to tho Coates company.
but factory was erected in Spain 70
furnish the supply for the Cuban market.
After Spain lost Cuba. the English Sew
ing Cotton Company endeavored to sell
in Spain the product Of the Spanish min.
This brought on a clash with its prin-
cipal stakeholder. the Coates Company.
and for time the breaking up Of the
great combination was threatened. but
the trouble was compromised.
AS to other trusts not directly capital
ized and advertised to the public, Mr..
Donald points out "the railroad compa-

The London coal dealers are in a pool.
SO are the coal dealers in other districts.
and general coal trust Is believed to
exist.
From all of which II definitely appears
that any proposed remedy for trusts
which involves the experiment Of free
trade would have absolutely no effect.
as trusts are as numerous in free trade
England as they are in this country; and
those trusts approach more nearly to abb
solute monopolies than any trade COM

British trust. which exists in the Unit

gines developing in compressed air the
equivalent Of 10 per cent. OF the heat Of
the gases burned to raise the steam these
engines consume. and with the surplus
steam economically distributed and used.
the total steam work OF a steel plant may
be done without burning any coal for
steam while the furnaces are working
well.
The editor points out that Mr.. Gordan's
figures are based upon engines having
thermal efficiency OF only IS per cent.
and that with the direct use of gas in
internal combustion engines, the thermal
efficiency may be taken at 30 per cent:
and ventures the prediction that in the
iron and steel works OF the future there
will be few or no steam engines Gas
driven blowing engines win provide the
blast; central power plants containing
large gas engines directly connected to
electric generators will provide light and
power for distribution to all parts of the
mill; the rolling mills will be electrically
driven, as will all the other machinery:
and there win be surplus for outside
use which may yield . revenue as great
as that obtainabie from the iron manu-
featured. Mr.. Donkin's article covers the
various attempts which have been made
and are now making to utilize these fur
mace gases in England. Belgium and Ger
many.
In the same direction IL a recent arti-
clio in stahl und Essen. showing the de-
velopment OF by-product coke ovens in
Germany and other countries, England
and America being the exceptions where
the unscientihc Deceive oven still
holds the pre-eminence. In these by
product ovens the gases which are given
OF are condensed and washed. and the
liquid products also collected and sep

1t has long been a matter Of regret
among the citizens Of this state that its
rich iron ore deposits and coal have never
as yet excited the attention Of capital
lists and led to the Installing Of iron and
steel plants Of large proportions here.
Possibly the delay has been IN measure
beneficial. The direction which expert
mental work is now taking will result in
rendering obsolete many of the so-called
modern plants Of today. The plants which
will be established here, before many
years elapss. will be fully up to the
times: and thus viii have an additional
competitive advantage. besides that OF
lower freight rates. over those Of the
East, when II comes to acquiring con-

VIII be in jail. The local authorities in
Salina were unable to get Mr.. Henry 70
close up and they went at it in another
way.
Last fall after the Salina street fair
the city marshal then in office attempted
to close the joints, one that was operated
by Henry among the rest. Henry refused
10 close, and as a result he was arrested
and convicted in Justices court on the
charge of violating the prohibitory law
He was fined 800 and sentenced to thirty
days in jail, but he appealed the case 10
the district court and it has never been
tried again
The federal authorities heard OF the
conviction of Henry, and they discovered
that he had paid no government tax, 50
they swooped down upon him. He was
brought to Wichita for a preliminary
hearing before Commissioner Shearman,
but waived hearing and viii let his case
come up before the federal grand jury.
Mr.. Henry returned to Salina yesterday,
stating that he would go on with his
candidacy for city marshal. notwith-
standing the fact that he is under arrest
for selling liquor and that in the strict
