Topeka, Jan. 24.-The executive

Mhx snonras Arc High.

Washington, Jan. 24.-Consul Ber-
.rand, who represents the French gov
eminent at Benghazi, in Tripoh gives
a curious reason for the increased price
of the finest grades of sponges, which
are gathered in that section. The fish
cries have been so well worked that
the divers must go to great depths,
this has increased the dangers of the
work. The mortality rate among the
divers is high, from $50 to 200 dying
each season in total 600 employees.
Only the most desperate men will dive.

will learn after awhile that it is easier,
simpler and far more pleasant to pay
their debts promptly than to have then
collected at the lannon's mouth.

PEAL ESTATE TRANSFERS.
Saint Mary's beacon. [volume] (Leonard Town, Md.) 1867-1983, 1900-10-18

The monopolies that are deyouring
the substance Of our people all rest on
the doctrine Of misht. They stand on
advantage.
Mr. Havemeyer the president OF the
sugar trust, boldly told congressional
committee that the tariff was the mother
OF most Of the trusts; that the tariff
built wall around the country and
kept out foreign goods. Then the home
manufacturers got together and put all
establishments making the same article
under one management, and they had q
monopoly. They had the people at their
mercy, and could arbitrarily mark nm
the price Of their goods from 90 to 100
per cent.
-Now." he said, '.if you break down
that wall, then foreign made goods win
compete with the trusts, and the Mono
ply win Be destroyed"
The proposition seems self evident
and II IL II correct. then class legislation
has created some OF the trusts and class
influence in che administration of law
has made possible the creation of Others.
So that the trusts Of to-day are the
legitimate children Of Hamilton; The
