THOSE TRUST SNAKES.
On" of Them Swallows Three Ordinary
Counties Every Year, Including the
Household Goods of Every Man.

Very curious have been the many
expressions on the subjct of trusts
during the past year, writes John
Brisbane Walker in the July Cosmo-
politan. A quarterly dividend Of S2O,-
100000 for the Standard Oil company,
and nearly SlO,OOO,OOO profit for one
member OF the steel trust-Mr. Car
negie's end Of it--for one year, are
facts sufficiently surprising to sturtle
even the deaf and dumb
We should think such fucts ought
to startle, but do they stnrtle men
who are not dumb and contemplate
voting for their continuance?

up through those three generations,
though In fact the cook wus not born
until after the wheat for which tho
note was given had. been consumed,
nor the eggs laid until the day before
they were served, In all these In
stances there is an exchange of scry-
Ice for service,
"Tho fact thnt the service in one de
rection was rendered long before tha
service IN the other makes no differ
ence. So long as all the processes of
the transaction are voluntary ON the
part of all parties concerned, II Is Inn
material whether or not the exchange
is concurrent, The essential thing is
that when Il service is rendered IL shall
be In exchange for nn equivalent sery-
ice, whether the equivalent service bo
rendered concurrently or In the
past, or Is TO he rendered IN the fu.
ture. This Is what constitutes sery-
ice for service"
Right here, ] should like TO put u
question or proposition 10 Mr.. Post,
who, 10 n representative single taSer,
doubtless defends the justice and
equity OF the fuctor termed "nterest,"
Assuming that the lapse of time
from the contracting of the debt Of
500 10 the Inheritance OF the same
by the grandson 10 have been 60
years and that the debt drew five per
cent, simple interest, payable when
the principal was paid, the interest
would amount 10 $500.
My question then Is this; From
what fund and with or by the services
Of whom Is this sum Of $500 TO be
pnid2
IL Mr., Post will honestly endcayor
TO answer this question, bearing IN
mind that inert capital, so called, or
"moncy,' cannot render any service
or produce any wealth, he viii come
20 the conclusion that tariff protcc-
ton, franchises TO operate private
monopolles ofpublic utilities and land
monopoIcs are not the only modes,
or avenues, by and through which
service may be eNuctcd without rend-
erlng any service in return,
The great law giyer, Moses, right
fully put upon the same plane land
monopoly and interest as the potent
means by which men might live upon
the labor product, or service, OF
others, GEORGE C, WARD.

THE PoPULIST PLAN.
Money Should lie Issued Direct to the
People for Labor Performed Upon
Public Works.

Populists are opposed TO the repub-
lican policy OF issuing money TO ma
tional banks, They would issue the
money direct to tI6 people without
the intervention of banks. If the gov
ernmcnt would withdraw the money
issued TO the national banks and issue
it to the people, say for example, TO
build wagon roads, 10000 miles Of
wagon road could be made at $1,000
per mile. This without increasing the
money volume II dollar, just simply
issuing the money direct to the peo-
pie instead of indirectly through ma
tionnl banks, This would employ
100000 men for seven years or 7OO,-
600 men for one year. Good roads
would help everybody, Say 800 men
working in the construction of roads
in a county and getting their SO in
cash every Saturday would be likely
to help out the merchant and bring
country produce in lively demand. All
this would be better than issuing this
money to the money-shavers, wouldn't
it? This is one way to get the money
in circulation. There are other ways
as coed. The peoples party favors
issuing money direct TO the people
without the intervention of banks,
and this building of roads is one way
TO carry out this populist demapd.--

There are two banking institu-
tions in Richmond, Va, namely
conducted by the colored people, -
the Savings Bank, G. F., U. o..
T. r. of which Rev. W. L. Tay-
lor is president and Mr.. R. T.
Hill, cashier, and the Nickel Saw
ings Bank, of which DR.. r. F.
Tansil is president and Mr.. E. A.
Washington cashier. The cololed
people of Richmond pay taxes on
$3.50, 900 worth Of property.
1t Is said that Taylot will not be
allowed to Join The American
Racing Cyclist Union now, and
the life suspension placed on the
colored wonder last year will hold
good. The riders have also insert
ed q clause in their rules which
bars oolored wheelmen from join
ing, just as does the League Of
American Wheelmen refuses them
membership.
Taylor has notified the riders
that he will 60 to Louisville to
place his case plainly before the
union and ask for reinstatement.
It is said that Taylor is willing to
pay very heavy fine, but insists
that he should not be kept from
riding, as it is the only means he
has Of making a living. A promi>
nent member Of the riders union
was in the city last week, and he
says that, while the union will
give Taylor hearing, his trip to
Louisville will be a useless one,
~ all the members are bitter
against the colored boy for desert
ing them when their fight against
the L. A. w. was in it's infancy.
At recent meeting of the locks
ey Club held in New York, the
application for a license Of the
famous colored jockey, "Tiny"
Williams was denied. Williams
was suspended last fall, and it
looks as though his riding days
are over. Williams is a Western
product Of the Western Circuit
having been originally developed
by Dan Lamasney, the Missouri
horseman, who won the st. Louis
Inaugural several years ago with
Service. Williams also rode for
E. S. Gardner, of Avondale Stable
fame, and other western owners.
Two years ago he went East to
ride for j. E. Seagram, the
wealthy Canadian owner. Willis
ans was a crack race rider as far
back as 1892, the year he piloted
r. A. Swigert's Carlsbad to
victory in the American Derby at
Washington Park, Chicago.

"Long Shot" Conley both on the
