truth of which he vouches: At small

tion for the cures he effected, and the
other was not believed to be "much
good" The favored doctor found his
services in great request. but, as pay.
ment was not always Forthcoming, he
made a rule that a certain class of his
patients should pay in advance.
One winters night he was reused by
two farmers from hamlet ten miles
away, the wife of one of whom was
seriously i'll. He told them to go to
the other doctor, but they refused, say.
ing they would prefer his services.

The men demonstrated, but the doc.
tor was oldurate. and shut down his
window. He waited, however, to hear
what they would say. "Well. what
will we do now?' asked the farmer
whose wife was i'll. And the reply that
was given must have been as crafty.
ing as it was amusing to the listening
doctor. 1t was:

THE DEMOCRATIC SOLUTION

Cause Industrial Depresaion.

Applied to the Trust Problem Would
Cause Industrial Depression.
With the Democratic denunciations
OF the large combinations of capital,
currently styled trusts, there is large
amount of sympathy, especially when
such denunciations are directed against
combinations which aim ut monopoly
and artificially enhanced prices. The
real question to be considered by the
voters, however, is what remedy does
the Democratic party propose to apply /?
On this point Mr.. Bryan and his fol-
lowers have changed front. About a
year ago Mr.. Bryan's suggestion was
for constitutional amendment, giving
Congress power to regulate, control or
abolish such combinations. The Re
publicans in the lower house of Con-
gress offered such an amendment, and
the Democrats promptly defeated it.
That ground was then abandoned, and
the sole suggestion put forward by the
Democrats to-day for the suppression
of trusts is the abolition of the protec-
tive tariff. For the purpose of their
argument. that the protective tariff is
responsible for trusts, they are COM
PEELED to either ignore or manufacture
facts. For example, they overlook the
fact that neither the Standard Oil Com
pany, the sugar trust. the copper trust,
or any of the really monopolistic trusts
are to-day under tariff protection, and
consequently the suggested remedy
would not affect them in the slightest
degree. In the second place, they hold,
without warrant of fact. that trusts
could not exist under system of free
trade.

Intelligence.
There are good many ants Of differ
ent varieties OH the lot at my country
place near Covington, and last year I
began to make systematic study OF
their habits. found it q most fascin-
ating pursuit. and have resumed it with
much enthusiasm during several visits
this year. A little investigation will
convince almost anybody, think, that
the ant approaches nearer to a man in
point Of intelligence than any of the
lower animals. Some of the things
have seen are SO marvellous that
would hesitate to speak of them if SIM
liar wonders had not been fully record
ed by trained scientists.
Near one of my fiowerbcds is colony
of small red ants that are extremely
Industrious in collecting food, and they
frequently perform the most astonish-
ing engineering feats in transporting
heavy burdens to their homes. Not long
ago watched a party of about dozen
that had found the body Of small
spider, and were dragging it toward the
nest. The spider had hairy legs, which
struck out in every direction and
caught on obstacles, greatly retarding
progress. For several minutes the ants
rolled away with their awkward booty,
and then stopped and seemed to hold a
council. A minute fragment of dry leaf
was lying on the ground; presently they
all laid hold and pulled the spider on
top of it. They then seized the edges
and slid it along without difficulty.
On another OCCASION saw large body
of these same ants start out for raid
on another colony. They marched like
an army, with scouts thrown out Mt the
sides, and, when several feet distant
from the nest, divided into two parties.
One kept straight on and was soon en-
gagged in fierce combat with the other
tribe. while the second detachment
made q detour and fell upon the hill
from the rear. The result was great
victory for the invaders.
Anybody that feels Interested in the
subject. and that will put in a little
time Mt close study. will he certain to
witness exploits fully as astonishing as
those have described.-V -Vimes-Demo-

A decision of unusual import to work

The world will be shocked to learn
that certain INSCRIPTIONS and wicked
foreigners have organized a trust which
absolutely controls all the available
supply of orris root, which can now be
had only ut the most exorbitant prices.
The trust is in Italy, and the orris root
is there also, and there is no doubt
about the facts, for they are officially
reported by the British vice-consul ut
1eghorn. This startling information
will confirm the general belief that
other parts of the earth are as badly
afflicted with trusts as America. And
nobody but ourselves is blessed with

erlns of industrial statistics, has some
thing to say on this subject in Il recent
issue. This journal shows that within
the past three years there have been
| organized in free trade England 500 in
dustrial combinations, With capital ag-
gregating 75O,O0O.OOO marks. OF these
the largest is that of the calico print
ers, consisting of sixty concerns. with
capital of nearly 2OO,OOO,OOO marks;
next, thirty-one cotton thread manu-
factories. with capital of 100000. 600
marks; followed by the Bradford dyers'
trust. twenty-five concerns. with 9O.-
100000 marks, and The wall paper
trust, twenty-eight concerns. with So,-
100000 marks of capitalization.
These facts absolutely destroy any
theory to the effect that Il destruction
OF the protective tariff would necessar
lily prevent the formation of trusts
while keeping other manufactures
open. 1t is we'll understood, however,
that a withdrawal of the protective
tariff would have IL detrimental effect
upon trusts. not. however, as trusts,
but as manufactures. The experiment
of the Wilson bill showed that conclu-
sively. n withdrawal of protection
means the closing down of large per-
centage of the mills in the United
States. Among those which would suf-
fer, of course, would he the overcapi-
talized trusts. with heavy bonded in
debtedness, but they would suffer no
more and no less than the individual
concerns operating outside of any trust
or combination.
The principal sufferers by any such
drastic legislation as this would be the
men employed in the manufacturers
which would be compelled to suspend.
With the wages of these meu cut Off,
and their running expenses reduced to
the lowest possible ebb, the next suf-
ferers would be those who have been
heretofore and are now catering to the
wants of the men employed in manu-
