0o0. 900, the actual value Of its plant
has been estimated. |. by one of the or
| ganizers of the corporation, as So
f9G, 600.
The prices of window glass in the
United States are twice what they are
in Belgium and England, the chief for
eign producers of glass. The. effect
of the trusts control Of the American
market is strongly brought out by a
trade journal, the Commonerz and Glass
Worker, which.in its issue of October
f21, 1899, said:
From an average price of about
$f.5oper boxfor single#and two sdol1ars
per box for double-strength in 1861,
the value of glass has quite doubled, if
not more than doubled.
"Since the existence Of the American
Glass company. the greatest advance
in price has taken place. This company
has managed its affairs without change
practically since it's formation, and has
done it so Wei. as to not>onlg control
the product, but to fix the price at the
| highest possible notch.
"The profits during the last. three
years have been enormous. The pool
is said to have made 100000 in 1896.
| $1,75O.000 in 1897 So, 100, 900 in 1898, and
!, still larger profits are anticipated 70,

little less, so as to discourage foreign

Some Laughable Expressions Uttered
by Natives of the EN-
erald Isle.

The author of Irish Life and Char
acter" says truly that one has Only to
mix with an Irish crowd to hear many
a laughable expression, quite innocent
ly uttered As the duke and duchess of
York were leaving Dublin in 1897, amid
enthusiastic cheering. an old woman
remarked:
'Ah. Isn't it the fine reception
they're gettin'. goin' away?''
In 1892, Dublin university celebrated
it's tercentenary,. and crowds Of visitors
We're attracted to the city. Two la
borers. rejoiced at the general pros
perity, thus expressed their feelings.
'sWell, Tim said one. thin tarcin-
tinaries does a dale for the thrade of
Dublin, and no mistake
''Oh, faix they dol" said the other.
And whin, with the blessin' of God,
we get home rule, sure we can have as
NANNY of thin as we plase.''
An old woman, seeing man pulling
young calf roughly along the road,
exclaimed:
"Oh, you bla'guard! That's no way
to thrate fel1ow-crather."
"Sure,," said laborer to a young lady
who was urging him to send his chill
dren to school, s'I'd do anything for
such sweet, gintlemanly lady as your
self''
Again, the laborers on a large estate
decided that it would be more conven-
ientfor them If they could be paid every
week instead of every fortnight. One
of their number was sent to place
their proposition before the land agent,
and this was his statement:
IF you plase, sir, it's me desire, and it
is also livery other mans desire, that
we .resave our fortnight's pay livery
week.
An exasperated sergeant, drilling a
squad of recruits, called to them at
last:
Halt! just come over here, all of ye,
and look at yourselves. It's fine line
ye're keepin'. isn't it?

TRUSTS ARE RoBBING.
An Issue That In Itself Would Alone
Insure the Election of
Bryan.

One of the most vital issues OF the
present campaign is that of the trusts.
It is an issue because there is abso-
lutely no effectual remedies from the
republican party under its present Lead
ership. If there is any one thing more
than another in which the present adj
ninistration has been conspicuous
failure 1t is in regard to the trust evil.
And the republican control of con-
gress, in both branches, has been. and
would remain, if continued, highly ia
Eorable to the trusts.
This results from the decay of orig
tnal republican principles and the con-
trolling influence exercised by such
men as Mark Hanna. who is openly the
friend and protector of trusts. Not
only is this true, but it is also notorious
ly the fact that the republican cam
paign fund has the trusts for its chief
contributors. Knowing Hanna's rec
ord regarding trusts, and mindful that
these great corporations are the chief
beneiciaries of the Hanna republican
policy, as we'll as its principal cham
pions. can any sensible person believe
that there is the slightest prospect of
relief from trust oppression through
Hanna-directed legislation?
On the other hand, there is absolute
y no question that Bryan is the earn
est and uncompromising foe of trusts,
and that if elected he will exert all his
power and influence to correct the
trust evil.
Every great trust in the country,
St. Landry clarion. (Opelousas, La.) 1890-1921, 1900-10-20

ports, because of the additional
freights. The factories Of the trust are
at Pittsburgh, but Pittsburgh buyers
must pay IA cents box more than
those of Boston, because foreign glass
is that much cheaper in Boston.
1t is said that the United States is
divided by this glass trust into six diff
ferent districts, in each of which a diff
ferent scale Of prices exists, accord
ing to the cost Of laying down imported
glass.
The consumption of window glass in
this country amounts to about 5.000,-
O00 boxes yearly. and all but about 12
per cent. of this is supplied by the
American factories. The trust has free
natural gas at Pittsburgh, and other IA
cllities. for cheap production that are
unrivaled abroad. and yet it is exacting
from American consumers twice the
price that is charged for the same
class of goods made in foreign factories.
You cannot look out of the window
without.indirectly paying tribute to a
trust. q
1t is the same with plate glass as
with common glass. There is trust
in plate glass also. 1t is known as
the Pittsburgh Plate Glass company,
| with a capital stock of $1o.0o0,o0o
1t controls two-thirds Of the plate
glass production of the United States
and has IAN understanding with the
factories outside the trust. This
concern has doubled prices in the
past two years. Although it bleeds
consumers it oppresses it's workers,
paying them low wages and forbid
ding them to join or organize any
union. And yet it profits by high du-
ties, which are pretended to be for
the purpose of protecting American
labor" but inAreality for the means
of robbing. the American ! consumer
and depressing the American glass
worker.
There are "a &numoer Of he5#trusts
in the various branches of the glass
industry, such as the National Mir
ror Manufacturers association, which
met last September and arbitrarily
raised prices from ten to fifteen per
cent.
The system Of plunder and extor-
ton practiced by the American Glass
company and the Pittsburgh Pllte
Glass company is mt exceptional, but
| merely illustrative. All the great
trusts follow the same methods. BY
the consolidation of many plants some
economies are effected, but these are
more than offset By the watering Of
stock, requiring dividends far in y-
cess of a fair return On fHc actual
cost of plants is wrnng from eoq-
sumers through extortionate prices

and her success is calculated to- in

the necessities of life, but their senti-
mental significance so endears them
to the hearts Of all flower lovers that
they have come to be looked upon as
a necessary luxury. The man who is
not moved by violet is not as bad

SCIENCE OF BUDDING.
The Operation Described in, Detail
and Illustrated with Diagrams
That Explain Themselves.

Budding peaches is done preferably
in late summer. The operation con
sists in taking bud with the sub
joined tissues, and placing it under
the bark of a twig in such way that
it will continue to grow.
To Remove the Bud.-Use a sharp
knife, and cut from below the bud.
Insert the knife about three-quarters-
inch below the bud and pass it under
the bud through the wood, coming out

tribute freely to, the Mckinley com
paign fund.
If the extent of the trust evil could
be brought home to every voter in the
land, this one issue alone would be suf-
ficient to insure the election of Bryan.
But few of the people realize how out
rageously they are being robbed by
the thousands of trusts that have fas-
tened upon all the great manufacturing
industries of the country. The pubic
have but faint idea of the extortion
practiced by the trusts, of their sitting
of competition, their determinations
in favor of foreign buyers, their enslav-
ing of labor and their dangerous grip
upon state governments as we'll as upon
congress and the executive.
One of the questions to be decided
in November is this: SHALL THE
GOVERNMENT CONTROL THE
TRUSTS. OR THE TRUSTS CONTROL
THE GOVERNMENT? #sf
In former articles the Bee has pre-
sented many facts and figures, not one
of which has been questioned or denied
by anybody, regarding the operation
of the great trusts controlling the man-
ufacture and sale of barb wire, steel
nails. tin plate, kerosene and other
commodities. And the stated increase
of prices, which in number of in
stances was more than 100 per cent,
due to the operations of these trusts.
we have since corroborated by official
figures from a recent report of the de-
partment of labor at Washington. We
have also shown that the trusts are
strengthened in their grip on the
American market by excessively high
duties, which go far beyond any reason
able requirement of protection to
home industries. It is largely because
of their aid for Hanna-and-Mc McKinley
republicanism in tariff legislation that
the trusts have sprung into existence.
and that they hope to perpetuate their
grasp upon the industries of the ma
ton.
One of the trusts. to which we now
direct attention. is the American Win

stock of 17,0oo,0oo.. 1t was organized
in October, 1899 1t owns plants, rep
resenting about four-fifths of the total

Before it began operations its trust
predecessor in the glass industry had
put up prices to extortionate figures.
which the present trust maintains.
These prices are about double what
they were four years ago. Although
the capital stock of this trust is $17,-

Rryan,s Fairness.

Mr.. Bryan's campaign utteranees
have SO far been distinguished by
strength, moderation and thoughtful
ness. He is devoid of bitterness, and
while keen to expose the weak points
of his opponents he is careful to do SO
simply as thinker and debater,
with none of the offensiveness that
has characterized the speeches of one
of the republican campaign star per-
formers.
