feature Of it il that it il perfectly safe

In view of the immense number If

The remedy is III suppository form

In an address delivered at Chicago.
Tuesday evening. Secretary Gage pre-
scented in striking array statistics
showing the great progress which has
been made in this country in al!
branches of trade ana industry BY
comparing the advance made during
the period from 1895 to 1899 with that
from 1890 To 1895 Mir. Gage made his
facts ana figures for the period just

Of railway traffic is always q true in

country. When times are gOod there
is an abundance Of freight to be
shipped and people travel much, for
business because it is necessary to do
So and foy pleasure since thay can

the total freight carried one mile ex-
ceeded the total for 1875 by nearly
twenty-siX billion tons is alone con-
elusive proof of the marvellous i'm
provemcnt that has come to the
manufacture ana commerce OF the

into details and gave the figures show

iron industry, the great increase il
imports of raw materials for American

Of our foreign trade ana the mlrilc |

Mr.. Reed on ReuuIating Trusts.

Thomas =. Reed in private life still
commands national attention When he
speaks, as he did when he held the
second highest Office in the nations
gift In recent issue Of the Saturday
Evening Post, he had an article on
trusts in which he took issue with
those aIarmists who hold that the ex
tortions of trusts threaten TO ruin the
country. His opinions are those of a
deep student of history and OF political
science the opinions of a practical
philosopher. and he disagrees radically
with those ranting demagogues who
conducted the Bryan sideshow which
held the boards at Chicago. last week,
in the guise Of an trust confer
ence." While recognizing the evils Of
monopoly and the certain element of
danger which lies in all great trade
combinations, Mr.. Reed does not be
licve that the ddngers from this source
are so serious or so imminent as to re
>
lance He holds that trusts cannot de-
stroy competition, but that on the con
trary competition will in the long run
destroy trusts, or at least destroy their
monopoly Let these agglomerations
of wealth" says Mr.. Red, take one
step in prices beyond what is war
the world; just let it Be known that
there are huge profits being gained:
then as all history shows not only will
competition arise, but over COMPETE
ton. which will make that business
which appears the most profitable the
least profitable on the list"
That is, in the opinion Of Mr. Reed
which is worthy Of careful considera-
ton, there will be reaction from the
present tendency to extreme concen-
tration and combination, ana this re-
action will either put an end to the
1polizatiOn Of industries or bring
about the restoration Of competition

TAYLOR INDICTED FOR STEAL
ING A HORSE.
Newport News Va, Nov. 13.-In the
Corporation Court yesterday the grand
jury returned true bill against L. n.
Taylor. alias John a. Illinger. alias
George I<lentcr. charged with horse
stealing. The prisoner was unable TO
give bond and MAS committed to Jail
10 await his trial, which is set for
Tuesday, October 10Th.
The only witness of the Common
wealth who testified was MIR. j. NJ.
Page. from whom Taylor is charged
with stealing the horse. His testimony
was practically the same as 1t was
when the case was tried In the police
court. The prisoner himself testified.
He said that everything said by Mr..
Page was the truth. but that lie did not
intend to steal the horse. He claims
that he found that he could not come
back to this place himself so he ship
ped the horse back to Mr. Page. The
way he accounts for it's failure to ar
rive is that it died on the way here.
He has not as yet secured an attor-
ney. but says that he will do so. If
he should not be convicted here. there
will probably be warrants issued for
him from Richmond and other places
where he is wanted to answer the
charge of horse stealing.
