to the public the trust must earn divi.
dends on it. It must double the profits
of the factories. Having practically
secured monopoly Of the market, the
trust at once raises the price of ite
products. 1t discharges clerks and
travelling salesmen and closes some Of
the mills in order to make the product
scarce. It tramples down all attempts
at competitor which might reduce
prices.
Neither the workingmen in the mills
nor the public which buys the product
of the mills get the benefits of the
trusts Profits sufficient to declare
dividends on the wa,ered stock are
earned, and the stock is worked off,
on innocent and gullible outsiders. The
makers Of the trusts have gathered in
millions Of dollars.
That is the explanation of the extra.
ordinary facts which an investigation
Of your household expenses will dis.
close.
That is also the explanation of the
seml-starvation in the anthracite coal
fields which has driven hundred and
forty thousand men into open revolt.
Senator Hanna said not long ago: So
long a. trusts have not proved q menace
to business nor to the laboring interests
of the country, SO long as all that il
said about them is merely talk and
nothing but talk. so long as they have
not proved curse to the country,
believe they should be let alone.
Mr.. Hanna is the absolute master oi
the Republican party. The President
and the Attorney General have fol-
lowed his advice, and. Notwithstanding
the Federal Anti Trust law, which the
Supreme Court of the United States haa
declared to be both constitutional and
necessary. the trusts have been lei
alone, aud Attorney General Monet
of Ohio, who attempted to prosecute
the Standard Oil Company, was drive,
out Of his party in disgrace by Mr.
Hanna.
But what do you think about it
Should the trusts be ''let alone" 1
not, what is the best way of restraining
them7 Which is more likely to try t,
find remedy-Willian Mckinley o.
William Jennings Bryan?
This is question personal 10 your
self. It is mixed up with every mouth
full of food you eat, and every yard o
cloth you wear and with every ton o
coal you burn. You cannot put tn,
investigation upon your neighbor. Th'
facts are present in your own house.
And when the trust system is per
fected and the small manufacturer
and business men are all converted
into clerks and agents, what chanc,
will there be for your son to go int,
business for himself?
Dare you vote to take away hop,
from the youth of America?

HOW TO STUDY The TRUST QUEs.
TON.

UUVV1
This is good time to study the trust
question and understand it. While the
ordinary citizen is pitying the brave
mine workers of Pennsylvania he must
not forget himself. The cruel system
that is blighting their lives is silently
at work in his own home.
It is in the power Of every man who
has q home to turn his back on the po.
litical economist and find out, for him
self in single day just what the trust
question amounts to. He does not
need to be a college-bred man. It
matters little whether he can read or
write. The man who really wants to
know what the trust question amounts
to can make complete investigation of
the facts without going outside of his
own household.
Let him ask his wife or mother or
sister or housekeeper the price OF meat,
-four. sugar, oil, lard, canned goods,
coal, shoes, clothing, household utensils
and other things that make up the
bulk Of mans living expenses, COM
pared with prices year and half
ago.
Then let him ask himself whether
his wages have increased in that time.
He will find that the trusts have
raised the cost of living more than
twenty-five per cent, while his wages
have remained At a fixed point or have
advanced something like five per cent.
challenge any man in the United
States to make an investigation into
this question for himself. It is big
question. It involves his own family
He may read and read until his eyet
fail him and may yet remain in doubt
and be unable to vote intelligently OF
the matter. But his home is an oper
book in which he can find the trust
question written clearly and unmistak
ably.
Last week I went to the anthracite
coal fields to search for the causes o.
the pending strike. do not rely OF
the organized labor leaders; do moi
rely on the mine owners or superinten
dents. went to the shanlies of the
miners themselves. There l found the
the naked, horrible truth. It was the
simplest task imaginable to discove,
that the cost Of living had been in
creased by the trusts from thirty tc
fifty per cent, while wages were held
down by the Coal Trusts.
Let the citizen who would know the
truth examine his own case. Then il
will be time for him to study his neigh.
Dor.
Why have wages stood still while
the cost of living has advanced? Is the
condition an accidental one?
The explanation is this: In the state
of New Jersey, for instance, the year
1899, there we1e corporated trusts with
an aggregate capitalization of about
two and half billion dollars.
This was in one state in one year.
About half of this enormous sum OF
trust stock represents what Wall Street
men call water" A trust buys out
ten factories worth five million dollars
of stocks. Before this happened the
ten factories simply had to earn reason.
able profit on the actual capital invested
in the business. But the trust las five
million dollars Of stock representing
absolutely nothing but the paper it il
printed on.

field cutting bamboo for exercise
He was told TO allow them to 60 where
they wanted to. Complying with ord

the field. They stopped and began
cutting bamboo. They had been out
about fifteen minutes when Woodfolk
noticed three nombres pass in front OF
him. His attention was attracted in
the rear by rustlfng. He turned to
see what caused it; just as he got his
head turned he was met with O bolo

he raised his rife and struck at the

snatched the riffs and ran. The pris-

vain, Woodfolk was painfully, but
not seriously wounded. The cut is on
the left side OF the forehead and
ranges from the eye upward.
Lieut. DeIee visited the scene and

for when regular army officers, day

white officers OF the service are dead.

ents OF the 48th are by their bravery
and daring vindicatinR the race and
STAN ping the lie to those rumors tn ct

Officers.
PROUD OF THEIR OFFICERS.
The men Of our regiment are proud
Of our black officers and will follow
them where ever they lead.
Among the officers that had received
particular praise for killing and cap
turing several insurgent chiefs are
Ospt. Buck of 90. L, Capt. Brown of
90. @, Capt. Hsnkins of Virgins,
captain Of Go. r; Lieuts. Brown,
Cheek, Smith and several others whom
] will mention in my next letter.
Every battle that the 4Sth Infantry
has been engaged in they have some
out victorious. Not one defeat is
credited against them. Although they
have only been here on the northern
line for 8 or weeks. they have made
some or the most important captures
since the Philippine rebellion.
oHIo's CONTRIBUTION.
One Of the most popular officers is
Capt. James w. Smith of Xsnis, Ohio,
commanding company D. Every com-
mand that has been given him since
we have been in the enemy's country
has been important onss. He has iust
returned from Sodipan, 9 small town
among the mountains and the hot-bed
OF insurgents, and 1T times he was left
to guard the place and stores with on
ly about S5 men, but he performed his
duty well and Brought back every man
he carried there. He is ably assisted
BY 1st Lieut.. J. II. Anderson Of the
Army and End Lieut.. 6. w. Taylor of
North Carolina. Lieut.. Anderson
is now Provost Marshall of this town.
he succeeded Mel. Ho ward and is the
hrst celored oficer to hold the posi-
tion in an important place as this. BE
also has been made Judge Advocate of
every court martha since the mobili.
zation Of the regiment.
