TO KILL FLOCK TO FIND GEM
A Missouri Breeder VIII Seek the
Chicken That Swallowed
His Diamond.

George Foster, wealthy chicken
breeder OF Richland, Mo-, who makes
pets out of fowls so that they eat
from his hand, has learned that it
does not pay to get too familiar with
them while feeding for fattening.
1t cost him diamond ring, and
now he will either have to Kill the en-.
tire flock consisting of 300 not quite
big enough for market or lose more
than 500, or he will have to forego
the chance of recovering his jewel.
While feeding from his hand a
chicken pecked at the flashing gem
and it came out and was swallowed.
Before Foster could identify the par
ticular diamond eater he had lost him
self in the flock and serious dilemma
confronts him. He has decided to cut
the gordian knot by killing the entire

the house without much debate. 1t is
foregone conclusion that congress
will let the Philippines alone and d.
rect the president to pursue any policy
he chooses. The republicans are so
thoroughly scared over the Cuban rot
tenness that they dread any mention
of the Philippines. The scandals are
much greater there, but the admins
tration hopes to censor everything un-
til after election.
Hanna's Campaign Fund.
Mark Hannn's campaign fund is by
no means as large as he desires. The
various interests which he assessed so
successfully four years ago are very
slow in contributing this time. So the
republicans instead of Boosting of their
$26,ooo,ooo campaign fund as they did
"a few weeks ago, are talking of a cam
paign of education" That is a pleas
ant euphemism for campaign of mis-
representation. But even that takes
lot of money. And the congressman
who voted for the Porto Rico bill and
other administrations niquities, under
promise of u big campaign fund, are
very much disheartened over the pros
pect of facing indignant constituents
and trying to make campaign on
principle. The democrats car do that,
but it is little difficult for the repub-
llcans with the record of this congress
in evidence.

feet long, were discovered the other

Men were sent to work to excavate
the bones, and succeeded in digging
out three pieces of the gigantic skel-
eton, which lay three or four feet be-
low the surface.
Each of these bones is 10 inches
long, 40 inches in circumference, and
weighs nearly 40 pounds. LEGAL sci

The Regulation of Trusts.

The average American without re-
gard to party associations is solicitous
in regard to regulation and control of
trusts. Regarded simply in the light
of business associat ions, what authori-
ty has congress over them, because of
their immense capitalization, that it
doesinot possess over the humblest bust
ness enterprise in the land? We have
on the statute books legislation suf-
hcently drastic to do all that law can
accomplish, but the officers whose du
ty it is to execute them, pronounce
the law worthless. Congressman Gros-
venor of Ohio says the Sherman law
is all that is desired; Attorney Gene.
eral Griggs, former attorney of the
trusts says the law cannot be enforced.
Under the pretense of procuring
such legislation as might be deemed
essential, during the expiring hours
OF first session Of the seth congress, a
constitutional amendment was pro-
posed as the means of procuring the
needed legislation. To obtain the
adoption of constitutional amend
ment, by the requisite number of
states, would require from three to
four years; hence this proposition may
be set down as a scheme to gain that
much more time for the trusts.
The capitalization of manufactur-
Ing industries began in Great Britain
long before it did in the United States,
but the shares or capital stock in such
industries IN this country, that repre-
sents nothing, exceeds the entire
capitalization in England of all such
concerns. Their existence there has
caused no injury to its people nor pro-
voked any.unfavorable comment. For
This difference in their effect upon the
public there is reason, and what is
it?
1t lies not in enacting more restrict
i've legisla tion, but in repeating every
law that grants to these corporations,
or business combinations, special
privileges Withheld from the mass of
the people. In England the only ad-
vantage its combination of capital in
any industry, art or mandatory has
over those engaged in the like indus
tries wherever they may be located,

is that of distance and the cost of

is that of distance and the cost of
transportation. In the United States
our trusts or combinations of capital
have not only the protection Of dis
lance and the cost of transportation
but to these we have added protect
i've tariff wall which excludes from
our markets the articles of foreign
manufacture coming in competition
with like articles made here. Very
few now question the influence of the
tariff in fostering trusts. Every man
who is a trust promoter is in favor of a
protective tariff. A step in the direc-
tion of control OF the trusts is to with
draw from them the power of special
privilege. When our manufacturers
can go into the markets of the world
and compete in qualities and prices,
it seems it must be apparent to the
most superficial thinker that the eff
feet of our tariff laws is to enable our
protected manufacturers to control
markets and prices to the injury of
consumers.
The argument that the trusts'have
reduced the prices is only half truth
because like reduction has gone on to
as great or greater extent in condit-
ions not produced by the trust. We
give to the individual who from mo-
tives of patriotism has bought bond
of the government the interest ex-
pressed on the face of the bond for
the use of his money. We give to the
national banker who invests in bond
the same interest and in addition give
him the face of his bond in notes
which he can put in circulation as
money at from s to 100 per cent inter-
est, depending upon the necessity of
the individual borrower. This dis-
Termination is for the money trust.
To cancel the bonds when exchanged
for notes would remove this discrimi-
nation.
Had congress removed the privi-
leges conferred by law, severed the
bonds by which the strong and power
ful have brought the public into sub
lection; had it repealed the artificial
laws by which monopoly has hedged
itself about: had it severed the thongs
by which it has enabled trust combi-
nations to bind the people, it would
need neither constitutional amend
ment or additional law to deprive the
trusts of the power that is menace
to the people.
