THE BUSINESS MAN.
How His Interests Are Affected by
a Trust-COntrOIIed Market
A Dangerous Situation.

Fluctuations in prices are not liked
by business men. Of course, occasion
ally they turn to the merchants adj
vantage, as for instance when the
trusts increased the selling price OF
their products all the way from 100
to 200 per cent. and the retailer had a
good stock on hand. All such come in
for a share of the profits, and were
willing to believe the trusts good
thing Since then, however, condi-
tions have changed. After the indus
trial combines had advanced the sell
ing price of their products to the
very top notch. permissible under the
Dingley tariff, they soon perceived a
marked decrease in sales, because the
earning power of the people had not
kept step with the advance in prices.
Gradually trust prices began to
show falling tendency. 1t was then
that the merchant who had laid in a
large stock at top prices began to find
out how the trust could hurt him.
The trust had taken his money when
prices were at the highest point and
had then decreased them until no
profit was left to the dealer.
A trust-controlled market neces-
sarily is fraught with danger to the
average business man, who never
he stands, inasmuch as the combine
can advance or decrease selling prices
at pleasure.-Denver Post.

M'KINLEY DISTRUSTED.
Best Minds in the Republican Party
See the Weakness of the
Administrations.

If the average observer were asked
to name the three ablest and most re-
spected republicans now living, whom
would he name? William Mckinley,
Mark Hanna and Theodore Roosevelt :?
Not if he were honest and thoughtful.
Or would he name Thomas c. Platt,
'Mat" Quay and Henry Cabot Lodge?
Undoubtedly, a thoughtful observer
would select ex-President Harrison, ex-
Speaker Reed and Senator Hoar, of
Massachusetts,, if called upon to de-
eide. These men, although widely diff
ferent, are the representatives. of the
best ability and character in the repub-
lican party of to-day.
Gen. Harrison was his own man
every minute that he occupied the
white house. There was no Hanna
over him. He impressedh great
ly upon his fellow-citizens as man of
sincerity and force of character. Quite
naturally, Gen. Harrison has little
respect for Mckinley, for whose admin
istration the ex-president scarcely at
tempts to conceal his contempt. The
other day, talking to an interviewer,
Gen. Harrison said that he ''did not
think that the republican party had
pursued the rightful course with re-
gard to the trust question, and thought
the administration was playing fast and
loose with the people on the matter. He
regards the administration, however,
as having been wise one for the most
part, but admits that several grieyous
mistakes have been made in handling
the reins of government" When not
talking for publication, he has damned
the present administration with much
fainter praise. He is known to take no
stock in the Philippine and Porto Rico
business.
Thomas B. Reed, the brilliant ex-
speaker, whose equal in mental equip
ment the Mckinley outfit cannot pro-
duce, is notoriously out of sympathy
with McKinleyism, and left public
life rather than be compelled to defend
the weak administration for which he
feels so heartily a contempt.
Senator Hoar, the "old man elo-
quent,' is constrained, by affection for
the party whose cradle he rocked, to
stand by the ticket; but everybody
knows that neither his heart nor his
brain is in the cause.
How can McKinleyism, distrusted if
not despised by the best minds in the
republican party, expect the support of
the people, or-most ridiculous of all
appeal for democratic support on pa
triotic" grounds ?-Albany Argus.
The Winslow mail., 1900-08-30

an available base OF supplies in case of
trouble such as is happening in China
now. Of course it rather upsets the
plan not to be able to spare any troops
from the Philippines.
The Paramount Issue.
Circumstances combine to emphasize
the democratic declaration that impe-
rialism is the paramount ISSUE" and
of course militarism goes with it. Han
ma, Bliss and Heath are busily engaged
in mapping out the republican cam
paign on new lines. They had earnest
ly hoped that they could force the dem
ocrats to make the fight on the issue of
16 to 1, and thus divert attention from
imperialism and the trusts. But it can
not be done. The more honest section
of the republican press is urging that
the financial question was put into the
background by the action of theTecent
republican congress, and that the ad-
ministration forces are making an alb
surd spectacle of themselves by trying
to put up man of straw.
Afraid of the Record.
AS Chairman Richardson of the dem
ocratic congressional committee, re-
marked the other day: ''The republic
ans appear to be afraid to make the
campaign on the record of this admin
istration." They feel that the less the
people know about the facts the bet
ter will be the republican chances for
success.
The democrats are putting up most
vigorous congressional campaign from
the Washington headquarters. There
is every prospect that the next house
will have a democratic majority. There
were many things in the record of the
recent republican congress that
aroused the resentment of good citi-
zens. The attempt to put congress
above the constitution in the Porto
Rican matter was perhaps the gravest
affront. In many close districts the
republicans have practically given up
the fight and concede the places to the
democrats.

MOUNTAINS OF THE DEEP.
Drifting Icebergs of the NewfOund-
land Banks and Their Vary
ing Formations.

Many miles off the coast of New
foundland the bottom of the ocean rises
in a remarkable way and forms COM
paratively shallow basin enormous in
extent and surrounded by water five
miles deep. This region, says John Rus
sell Davidson, in Woman's Home Com
panion, is known as the Newfoundland
Banks, and is the famous trysting-place
of the merciless fogs and ice-clad
brotherhood of the north. As these ice
bergs approach the warmer climate
the action of the sun and water upon
them is remarkable, and does for them
what the sculptor's chisel does for the
block of marble. Out of shapeless
masses appear forms Of the finest ar
chitecture; n drifting mountain
careens, topples over, and finally
twists itself into a beautiful cathedral
or many-turreted fortress, set high
upon an elevation of clearest marble:
vast interiors formed by icy arches
springing from great bits of break
ing berg; and all these forms draped
with rich traceries of cream-white lace
in designs undreamed of. Then, too, the
melting ice on the crests of these bergs
falls down the slippery sides and into
the sea in streams and cascades: and.
strange as it seems, this water is al
ways fresh, despite the surrounding
salt of the ocean

FRILLS OF FASHION.
Pretty Trif1es That Go to Make
Up the MOdish Co.'S

Fluffy beruff1ed and over-trimmed
the only possibility of distinctive ele-
gance in this article of dress lies in
its simplicity. Perfectly plain silk in
any pretty color which harmonizes
with the costume is in good style, but
whatever decoration there is must be
dainty and unusual in some way. The
latest novelty is hand painted with one
bunch of flowers, or one butterfly on
one side done in either lighter or dark
er colors than the silk. The prettiest
example of hand-painted parasol is
one of white crepe de chine decorated
with delicate garlands of pompon roses
and small incrustations of lace. Sun
shades of spotted foulard or linen are
very popular for morning use, while
those of plaid silk with fringe on the
edge are well up in the list of novel
ties. Other foulard parasols show van
dykes of lace insertio 4 with a band of
black velvet ribbon 'oun-. the edge.
Rows of fine gold braid sewn on band
of pale blue silk form the border on
another parasol, and some of the pretty
new ones have gimps of tucl<s for their
only trimming. Something decided
and pronounced without being snowy
or fussy is the latest style, says the New
York Sun.
Louisine and taffeta silks under a
new name, or rather series of names,
are the popular silks of the moment.
Favrile, and the diamantine, which
shows the prettiest changeable effects,
are both taffetas with new names, and
then there is a pretty new silk canvas
which reminds one of the sewing silk
grenadine.
Sashes of China silk tied at the back
with loops turning up in the old-fash-
Toned way are worn with muslin gowns.
Enameled jewelry has come back to
us again more beautiful than ever. and
the special chic thing is shown in the
belt buckles, either turquoise blue, en-
erald green or red, oval in shape and
quite plain if you like. Some of them
are ornamented in filigree designs or
with flowers and birds.
Hats of all kinds, shapes and condi.
tions are in fashion, but the latest
thing from Paris is modernized poke
trimmed with a large bow of ribbon
silk or velvet and one, two or three
small punches of roses well forward or
the brim. The crown is medium high
tapering a little toward the top, anC
the brim, dropping in the back, is ma
nipulated in curves to suit the face anC
raised a little underneath at one side
with short band and small bow.
Reports of soft, full hat strings Of
tulle embroidered in colors on the ends
come to us from Paris, but the Amer
lean woman has not adopted them yet

Turkish Time system.

y recent visitor to Constantinople
reports one custom of the Turks
which causes a vast deal of trouble
and confusion. This is the Turkish
system of reckoning time. Turk
holds that the day begins exactly at
sunset; at that time he sets his clocks
and watches at the hour of -. As
the sun. has the same habits in pre-
siding over Turkey that he exercises
with regard to other localities. it may
easily be seen that this system OF
reckoning time necessitates setting
the clocks every day. 1t appears that
n watch which could run for weeks
without gaining or losing minute
would be of no special value to
Turk.-N. Y. Sun.

The Cause of Free Silver.

THE PRICE OF SILVER.
Eheet or the Opening of China-Bi-
metallism Would Provide
More Permanent Relief.

The opening of China, it is claimed
in financial circles, will advance the
price of silver. While there NAV be
something in that, nothing would so
quickly advance the price and keep it
at a talr price as the return of the
United States to the money of the
constitution, silver and gold, at the
old established ratio. Of course, as
long as this country provides all Eu-
rope with cheap silver there is no
prospect either for a marked advance
IN the price or a steady market The
market quotations for bar silver are
now less than one-half of what the sill
yer price would be were this country
to return to bimetallism. The silver
purchased here for European account
is coined in England, in France and
Germany. Our people produce the
metal and sell it at bargain-counter
prices to Europe, where through the
inexpensive process of coming it at
once is more than doubled in value.
The money used in everyday trans
actions in England, France and Ger
many IL silver coin. IndU SILVER Oue
American people produce and sell to
them, the finest quality for less than
half the amount their coined and
alloyed money-shilling francs and
narks-represents. By returning to
the money of the constitution the
price of silver would at once advance
from 60 cents per ounce to $1.29.
That is what the producer of silver in
this country would receive for his
product. England, France and Ger
many would not cease to purchase sill
yer of us, but they would be forced to
pay the full price and the difference
of 60 cents on each ounce, the differ
ence between the present price and
the then ruling one, would be trans.
ferred from the pocket of the Euro
pean to that of the American pro-
ducer. But the party in power here
is satisfied to provide all Europe with
cheap silver at the expense of the
American miner. The opening OF
China will bring no lasting relief. If
we ever expect to obtain permanent,
fair price for the white metal we
must go to work and establish the
price ourselves by return to a basis
of bimetallism at the old established
ratio. Then the producer instead OF
the consumer will reap the benefit

Trouble in wall street.

Most of the commission houses and
spectators in Paradise alley have now
lost all they have made in the rise in
the past two years, and begin to see
there is no stability in goldprices on the
gold basis. They begin to see what Gen.
Warner has so often stated, that when
business is at flood tide the fact is re-
allied there is not money enough in the
shape of cash legal tenders for business
and speculation. After the election OF
Mckinley in '96 we had the severest de-
preston Wall street has ever known,
which continued nearly six months,
and until it was seen that there were
short crops abroad. During my 30
years in Wall street have never seen
such long faces and so much gloom as
there was in Wall street at the time
Meeting Mr.. Keene one spring morning
in '07 he remarked: 'What n condition
of affairs! 1t is sheer and stark stag
nation. 1 rather fancy some of those
smart chaps down here who howled
about 50-cent dollars wish they could

TAKING THE CENSUS.

our Oldest boy, had the measles when he was

eight months old and the day after he was
ten months old he could walk clear around
