CHILDREN IN THE MINES.

To the Editor of The Herald:
The following is a clipping from the
editorial page of the Tribune of today:

many grades of wages, and the great
bulk Is contract or piece work. This ac-
counts for so many children being en-

for so many children being employed;
nor IS Il true that men work their

Trust Question in the Home.

men call water" A trust buys out
ten factories worth $4,000, 600 in act

factories simply had to earn reasonable
profit on the actual capital invested in
the business But the trust has s.. 00o.
600 Of stock representing absolutely
nothing but the paper 1T is printed on.
In order to sell this watered stock
to the public the trust must earn divi-
dendS on it. 1t must double the profits
of the factories. Having practically
secured a monopoly of the market, the
trust at once raises the prices of its
products. 1t discharges clerks and
travelling statesmen and closes some of
the mills III order 10 make the product
scarce. II trampIes down all attempts
at competition which might reduce
prices.
Neither the workingmen in the mills
nor the public which buys the product
of the mills gets the benefits of the
trust Profits sufficient TO declare div
idends on the watered stock are earn

innocent and gullible outsiders. The
makers of the trust have gathered in

THE WORLDS MONEY.

We would be greatly obliged if
some banker would give US the
amount of paper money which does
not represent either gold or silver,
that is, which is not a gold or sill
yer certificate backed by the amount
which it calls for in either gold or
silver money in the treasury of the
United States, France, Germany,
Russia, Austria, Italy and Great
Britain. At rough guess we
should say that, taking from silver
what is used in the arts, what is an
nually sent to China and India, what
is used to keep up the token coins Of
Europe, that then it would take over
twenty years for the minis of the
world to supply the amount which
that paper, unbacked by anything
except the faith of nations, amounts
to.-Salt Lake Tribune, June 20,

- HIS IS a good time to study the
~ trust question and understand
- it. While the ordinary citizen is
plying 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.
1t is in the power of every man who
has home to turn his back on the
political economists and find out for
himself in single day Just what the
trust question amounts to- He does not
need to be a college-bred man. 1t mat
ters 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, flour, sugar, oil, lard, canned
goods, coal, shoes, clothing, household
utensils and other things that make up
the bulk of a mans living expenses,
compared with prices a year and half
ago.
Then let him ask himself whether his
wages have increased in that time.
He viii find that the trusts have
raised the cost of living more than p
per cent, while his wages have remain
ed at a fixed point or have advanced
something like 5 per cent.
1 challenge any man in the United
States to make an investigation into
this question for himself. 1t is a big
question 1t involves millions of his
fellow men. It involves his own fam
lily. He NAV read and read until his
eyes fail him and may yet remain in
doubt and be unable to vote intelIi-
gently on the matter. But his home is
an open book in which he can find the
trust question written clearly and I'M
mistakably.

ADJUSTMENTS.

THE Prince of the World" a play
consisting of a prologue and three
acts, was presented at the Salt Lake
theatre last night With those sacred
and sublime sentiments which are as
ISOLATED with the story of our Savior,
Mr. Reid and Miss Westbrook, the
authors of the ple :, have mingled the
lighter romance and some of the levi
ties of life and have constructed a
drama
The scene of the prologue is at Je-
rusalem shortly preceding the cruel
fixion. IT is impressive on account of
the Biblical characters and sacred
scenes it reproduces.
The remainder of the play is laid in
the palace of Nero at Rome seventeen
years later. Tt shows that bedauched
monster in the midst of his revels and
excuses Here Lesia, q Christian
maiden, loves Galba, Roman general.
and his love for her and espOusal of
her cause wins for him the throne of
the Caesars. The authors have taken
considerable liberty with historical
facts, but playwrights license, like
the license of Salt Lake saloonkeeper,
permits wide transgressions.
Miss Westbrook. gave a charming
portrayal of the sweet Christian hero
inc, Lesia. Mr.. Reid, in the dual roles
of Simeon, the leper, and Galba, the
Roman general, gave a striking imper-
sonaition of the physical weakness of
the one and the martial strength of the
other. and in his love scene with Lesia
gave an exquisitely dainty bit of ro-
mantle comedy Miss Lillian Kemble
was admirable as Rubia, her handsome
presence and voice lending themselves
splendidly to the character of Nero's
mistress. Mr.. Rising's ApolIus was
given in a true comedy VEIN and
Messrs. Sullivan, Hattenbach and the
rest of the numerous company added
much TO giving a most interesting per-
Torrance.
The engagement closes with the Wed
nesday matinee and evening PERFORM
ances-
fair sized but aDDrecfative audi
ence witnessed the production of That
Man at the New Grand last night.
The play is what il was intended TO be
funny The plot is not important. the
humOr and fun come from the particu-
lar situa1ions and happenings of the
performance. Walter Walker Ethel
Blande, Percy Sharpe. Sevaine Her
bert and Mildred St Pierre deserve
special mention. This was the first ap-
pearance of the new orchestra of ten
pieces and the music was very much
enjoyed.
The play runs two more nights and
Wednesday matinee.
