Why are the great publishing houses
finding themselves in financial trouble,
these times? The failure of the APP
pletons causes even greater surprise
than did that of the Harpers, n few
months ago Both We're conservative
houses, of long standing and high re-
pute. Perhaps they We're too conser-
vative, for people are reading more
books than ever before and within the
past year the popular books have had
sales surprising anything ever before
known. Perhaps too many books are
being printed Certain it is that these
two houses have done vast service for
the cause of education and enlighten-
ment and if their class of publications
is not appreciated by the public. then
SO much the worse for the public. An
explanation of the difficulties of these
two firms would crafty much curiosity

Those Democratic statesmen who eX-
pected their party to profit from the
Republican treatment of the Puerto
Rican problem now realize that their
pctard. The country sees that their
pretended solicitude for the Puerto
Ricans is all humbug. mere sound of
words signifying nothing. The test
came on the relief bill for the benefit
of the islanders, refunding all the
duties collected since the United States
came into possession. This bill had the
solid Republican majority behind it in
both branches and was passed over the
opposition of the Democrats. This re-
lief bill, it should be remembered, has
nothing to do with the tariff bill i'm
posing Il per cent. or any other duty.
Whether we have hereafter a Is per
cent. rate or free trade makes absO
lutely no difference. Neither policy
could bring any immediate succOr to the
Puerto Ricans. This bill aims to meet
their present necessities-to feed the
starving and clothe and house the
naked-and aims to do this in the only
way by which it can be done. This is
by a direct grant from the national
treasury, for the island treasury is
bankrupt But every Democrat in
the Senate and all but dozen in the
House. though protesting great solicit
tude for the Puerto Ricans, voted

Calumet & Hecla Officials Deny
the Story.
NOT TO OPPOSE TRUST
Independent Companies Could Only
Control II Per Cent of Out
put-Mining News.

A few days ago the New York CONNER
cial printed a story. said to emanate
from Montana, to the effect that there
was a movement under way among the
independent copper mining companies Of
his state, backed by the Calumet & Hec-
la to form a combination in opposition to
the Amalgamated interests. The COM
panies which it was claimed had entered
the new combination included the Gug-
genheim mines, the Phe.ps-Dodge proper
ties, the Montana Ore Purchasing Co.,
and Senator W. A. Clark's properties in
Montana.
In view of the fact that the United
Metals Selling Co., controls 20 per cent of
the entire copper output of the United
States, the new combination, with the
Calumet & Hecla included, would control
the balance and some interesting devel-
opments would result. But now a denial
Of the story comes from one of the head
officials of the Calumet & Hecla who
characterize the story as utter nonsense,
SO far as his company IS concerned. AS
the other independent concerns could only
control IA per cent of the output it is not
likely that any steps will be taken to op-
pose the copper trust which by the way
up to the present time has not succeeded
in advancing the price of the metal.
