Be Toe Explicit on
Grimes Affair.

Il have never paid Mr.. Grimes cent
Of money for any purpose in my life
said J. W. Thurston, cashier OF the Bank
Of Topeka.
Has the bank ever paid him for the
use of the state money!"
Not to my knowledge" was the re-
ply.
William Henderson, cashier of the
First National said: I'VE have paid Mr.
Grimes no money on balances
"You have then paid Mr.. Grimes no
money as a consideration for the use
of the state money!"
We have paid Mr.. Grimes nothing
on balances" was the reply.
What will this suit amount to then ?''
Il don't know what they are trying to
get at Mr.. Grimes has received moth
ing from this bank on balances"
OR in any other manner or for any
purpose?"
THE balances are all there is to this
thing. We have paid nothing on those"
p I. Bonebrake of the Central Ma
tional bank was asked this question:
Have you ever paid Mr.. Grimes money
as interest on balances, or money in
any manner intended as compensation
or considerations for the use of the states
money!"
Bonebrake. L do not know what some
one else might have done.

Bonebrake, that our bank has done

THE Merchants National bank is a

w. Freeman, cashier
Has Mr. Grimes ever received interest
on state funds deposited in your bank?
NO. he has not said Mr.. Freeman
The following question was submitted
to Mr.. Freeman. Has Mr.. Grimes re-
ceived from your bank at any time,
money from interest on balances, or
money which was paid to him as an in
dividual or official, as a compensation
or consideration for the use of the state
money left in the bank"
President w. A. l. Thompson of the
Merchants bank and Mr.. Freeman, aft -
a consultation, decided that this was not
a legitimate question, because it required
an answer which would be a discussion
of the affairs of a customer of the bank,
which should be private, and not made
matter Of public scrutiny, and declined
to answer it.

FACTS ABOUT TRUsTs-v1L

Borax is one Of the essential articles
in the household and very useful in
many Industries. 1t is used in packing
meats, butter and other goods. 1t is a
fiux for metals. enabling their melting
at a lower tenpera ture. Tt is used in
the manufacture of soap and leather. 1t
is also bleach. an emollient an anti
septic, q purifier and a medicine The
principal borax mines are in California,
Nevada. Asia Minor. Peru and Chilli
There are some mines in Italy. Turkey
and elsewhere. but they are not of COM
mercial Importance. The most product
i've mines are those of California
The exactions of the borax trust are
made possible by the tariff The first
duty was imposed upon borax and bo-
racic acid in 1888. The Mckinley law
raised the tax. The so-called Wilson
law reduced it. The Dfngley law again
Increased it
The California producers entered into
combination in 1878 for the curtail-
ment of production. Other combinations
followed. but it was after the passage
Of the Mckinley act that the Pacific
Coast BoraX company was formed. All
but one Of two of the ten or twelve
mines controlled by this trust are closed.
Until the passage Of the tariff of 1894
the european market was IN the control
Of an English syndicate The lowering
Of duties by that act stimulated the
trade and the Pacific Coast Borax com
pany made a fight for the European
market. It finally bought out all the
principal English. French, Gillian and
Peruvian companies. and now controls
the markets of this country and Europe
the latter subject, however, to certain
contracts which are not vet fulfilled
and which keep down the price in
Europe.
-Four days after the passage of the
The Topeka state journal. [volume] (Topeka, Kansas) 1892-1980, 1900-10-09

Mckinley act the trust raised the price
of borax from So to 81 cents a pound.
Under the Wilson law the price fell to
5 cents a pound. Under the Dingley
law it is raised again to IL cents a
pound.
Lower duties resulted in q largely in
creased expectation of American borax
to Europe. The trust undersold its
London. French and South American
competitors in Europe, and this was be
cause OF its natural advantages in the
matter of deposits of pure borax.'' The
trust continues to export now that du-
ties are increased. but its price in
Europe is less than half its American
price. Tt sells it's borax in this country
for ~ cents a pound and in Europe for
31b cents

pockets of consumers. the sugar mag
