ORGANIZATION OF TRUSTS.
Proof That Prices Are Raised by
/, Combines Gives Republicans
the Lie.

The typical way in which trusts are
organized is given in announcing the
formation of the Salmon Canning COM
bine. The total stock issued, says the
Chicago Chronicle, is S16,Ooo,oOo, to be
divided as follows:
Six per cent. debentures. y. 10000
Seven per cent, cumulative pre- ,oo
ferred stock ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS. ooeMvS
Common stock ........................ ooV,VU
It is understood that the underwTit-
ing syndicate will furnish 100000
cash, receiving therefor 100000 in
ale...s.-ok o., 100000
preferred stock and 100000 common
stock.
This company, therefore, starts out
by presenting the underwriting syndi-
cate with $3,ooo,00o Of preferred and
common stock for their share OF the
plundsr; the balance of the common
stock is doubtless pure water, as is
probably the case with the remaining
$4,000 900 Of preferred stock, as only
So 100000 in cash il used In the trans
action.
The information il also given that
the annual capacity Of the combined
concerns is 100000 cases, SO if the
salmon canned by the original COM
panies produced a profit of 20 per cent,
it will require the combine to increase
the price about 100 per cent. to pay q
like profit. This watered stock will
eventually find its way into bank vaults
as security for loans and when tight
time comes in the money market some
bank will fail with large assets that are
mot Immediately available" The suf-
fersrs will not be the trusts, but the
unfortunate depositors.
The increase of railroad fares and
freight rates has been systematically
going on ever since the oombina lions
were effected. The freight rates have
generally been increased in the round
aboutway ofraising the classification.
The Buffalo Times says: 1.-THE Pan
American 10 now complete, but the
railroad rates keep the crowds away"
This is oorroborated by the man
ayers Of the Pan-Aanerican ex-
position, who giveout the following in
formation: "We can cite many in
stances where the railroads have put
up their rates far In excess Of what the
fare was before the exposition"
This is pretty good proof that trusts
and combinations do raise prices, not
withstanding the efforts of Gen. Gros-
veneer and other republican leaders to
prove that they are an advantage to
the people.

PLAYING HIDE AND SEEK.
The Industrial commission Not .
ROnring Republican
Success

That Industrious bunch of profess
sional Office seekers known as the in
dustrial commission are playing hide
and-seek with fact that is in plain
view of those who want to see it.. The
fact that some of the members Of
the commission wish to find and
the others do not, is "are Ameri-
can goods sold abroad cheaper
than at home?" Mr.. Schwab the mil
lion dollar president of the steel trust,
testified before the commission that
this was the case. The secretary of the
Home Market club admits the same,
but these authorities insist there is no
harm in it. The great majority of the
commission being republicans, they
may not find the fact, but the minority
have it right before them, il it has not
been suppressed like some other mat
tiers have been. This industrial com
mission has not been roaring repub-

Byron had no ear for music.

Edmund Burke, whose epatory was
music to his audiences, hated music.
Charles James Fox, great orator;
Daniel O'Connell, still another; Will

Our tncongruous Tarin Laws.

If the national tariff law was drawn
up for the sole purpose of raising
revenue for the government and was
based, like other forms of taxation,
without Discrimination for or against
industries or individuals, there would
be comparatively no complaint, AS it
is we have a tariff the iron schedules
of which are made in the interest OF
but half dozen individuals. With the
protection thus afforded these men
hold up the prices of iron goods to
American citizens in the United States,
while the benefit of low prices is given
to those abroad. Thus we see law
having for its ostensible object the
upbuilding of American citizens con-
verted into an agency to squeeze their
pockets and resulting in the benefit
of lower prices to the man living in
France. in England, in Africa or al
most anywhere SO that he is not an

Long-distance story tellers have had
new field opened to them here. At
Waterville, Me-, an organization has
been formed with the purpose of bring
ing together the best and longest ''yarn
tellers' in Maine and award prizes. The
meeting was held in the parlors of the
ElmWood hotel, where, according to the
rules, all the stories must be told. The.
official title of the organization is the
"Storytellers' Association of Maine"
The meetings of the association will
be held whenever the president shall
secure storytellers who desire to en-
.tertain the club. The idea is to give
prizes for the longest and best original
story. The rules will allow a story
teller all the time he may ask for the
telling of the story, to be continuous,
with time out for meals.
J Some of the best storytellers of the
state have joined the association. John

record for long talking, sent a letter
of application for membership. Mr..

As As we believe that the proposition en-

aple 1o OF carrying out the project, and that
the matter 1s one that concerns every
taxpayer and resident Of the. county, We
be believe that the more publicity tho mat

was made under theta which provides
that counties may issue bonds in aid nf
railroads running through. them, but as
some son, Of the details Of the proposition
were not fully set forth the matter was
postponed. 4. II # .=f.gsz IL.
~ While we are, on general principles,
against bonding the county to aid any
enterprise it;seems to us that railroad
will be ofsuch general good to the tax
payers of the county that we can afford
tovote for bonds. A railroad will open
up the vast resources of the county, both

lieve, very profitable to the builders, for,
OF course, no one IS going TO build rail-

SPIRITED COMPETITION.
New Firms Seek to Secure Contracts
for the Building of ~ ~.
@~,'~ WarshipS. w.. ~ssasts

The monopoly of constructing war
ships of the largest type, hitherto en-
toyed by three concerns in this coun-
try, promises to be invaded by four or
five firms, which have expressed a
great desire to make proposals for the
construction of the vessels, bids for
which will be opened on December 6.
The three firms which have always
bid upon this work are the Union iron
works, of San Francisco; the Cramp
Building and Dry Dock company, Of
Philadelphia, and the Newport News
(Va) Shipbuilding company. It now
appears that these firms will have as
rivals the Fore River Shipbuilding
company, of Weymouth, Mass; Town
send & Downey,f of New York; the
New. York Shipbuilding company, Of
New York city;the Trigg Engine and
Shipbuilding. company, OF. Richmond,
Va, and the Risdon iron works, of
San Francisco. The appearance of
the latter firm in the list of compet-
itors is something of a surprise. 1T
will make it interesting for the Union
iron works, which has had no COM
Petitors in the race for naval con-
tracts covering large ships on the Pa
cifc coast.
