Position on Trusts.
My position on trusts is probably

district. / stand now whe-. L have
always stood on that question, unalter-
ably opposed to them. I was nomi-
mated upon platform which declares
that the Republicans of the Eighth
congressional district "oppose gigan-

trusts, and demand that congress sub

they abuse the peoples rights by un.
duly advancing the cost of the neces.
saries of life. We refute the theory
that so.called trusts are the result of
existing tariff laws, and cite the fact
that free trade England is more trust
burdened than protected America
That plank in the platform as well as
all others has my unqualified support,
and Us an evidence OF my good faith In
the matter I refer you to the public
records OF tile last session OF congress,
during which the following proposed
constitutional amendment was SUBJ
mitted: "Article 16, sec, 2.-Congress
shall have power to define, regulate,
prohibit or dissolve trusts, monopolies
or combinations, whether existing In
the form of O. corporation or other
wise.I The several states may continue
to exercise such power in any man.
ner.' On this amendment 100 Re-
publicans voted for it., Of which was
one. with the records OF both parties
in view and the further fact that VIII
liam Mckinley was the first member
of either house to offer resolution
having for its object the, suppression
OF trusts, it seems TO me that the peO-
ple are safe in leaving the solution
of this matter in the hands of the Re-
publican party. BY its action upon the
above amendment it has shown what
H. would dc il IL had the power, hence

revenue to be secured. As to the latter
the prospectus says:)
ut Is believed that, with improved
4 methods OF manufacture and econ omies
In distribution, an average net profit
OF at least two pence bushel, or 10
pence barrel, can be relied upon.
The gross profit on 10,OOO,O00 Of
barrels would, therefore, amount to
100000. 1t will thus be seen that
there is an abundant surplus out OF
which to pay the fixed charges, as
follows:
Six per cent interest of 100000 de-
benture bonds, s4S,0OO; 8 per cent on
100000 preference stock, s64,O00,
making e112,OO0. This leaves for re-
serve and dividend upon 4 100000 of
ordinary stock, G2SS,000, or m ore than
20 per cent"
The prospectus goes on to say: "Such
have hitherto been the beneficial re-
suits OF combination in management,
where the articles concerned were In
general use, that returns quite as
large as the foregoing have been pro
duced. The latest Illustration OF this
in the United States is found in the
article of sugar, in which property
valued at $12,250,OOO were combined
under a capitalization OF ST. for every
ST., making a total issue Of $50,O0O,-
600, and the earnings Of which are
now sufficient to make these securities
representing this large amount readily
saleable at prices above par"

The simple, graceful skirt was stitch

Vastly different was a splendid Louis

an under-dress of white yelled with
black chantilly. The fronts of the
