ly. After two years of prosperity the Cop
per trust stocks went to pieces last May,
dropping from 40 to 90. Then it was given
out that the STANDARD Oil crowd was
practically behind the trust. which caused
prices to rise TO 100. Now that there has
been a reaction and it has been discovered
that the STANDARD oil crowd is not be-
hind the s-tocks-unless behind them to kite
prices temporarily-the values OF shares
have fallen below par.
Those who have been losers in this
speculation nave raised a loud cry of mys-
ferrous manipulation on the part Of the
management. Papers have demanded an
explanation. which has not been given yet.
The difficulty is easily explained. The de-
mand for copper, which doubled during the
two years of electrical expansion. fell off
more than a year ago because electrical
construction had been pushed the world
over beyond the natural limit. The Anal
gamated did not realize this fact, but kept
on making copper until it has unsold a
quarter of a years product. During the
years Of prosperity the price was main
tanned at II or IS cents a pound. while the
cost of production was u cents a pound.
The market oyerstocked, the prices of cop
per fell off. the latest quotation in London
being 1885 cents a pound. IL interest on only
the actual cost of the plants were all that
is required, the copper mines would pay a
fair dividend at present prices, but, instead
o. being capitalized at $4O,Oo0,0 900, about
their actual cost, the property is capital
lied at $780, .OOO, which was sold TO the
excited purchasers at par or more by the
promoters of the scheme. When copper
was selling at II or IS cents dividends could
be earned and paid on more than $10O. OO0,O 100
of stock, which represented no invested
value, but, with the worlds price off as in
dicated by the London quotation given
above, dividends must be small even if they
are declared.
To those outside of the game there is no
mystery about the loss of profits. The
combination failed to control the supply of
copper, and the monopoly it once had is no
more. The combination may curtail pro-
duction, hoping to bring about conditions
that will enable it to restore the old price,
but, when this shall be done. capital, at
tracted by large profits, will be invested in
new mines which will again break prices.
In time the value OF shares in the great
Amalgamated, which was announced to
nave power to control the price of copper,
will fall to a figure upon which the copper
put upon the market at the lower price
Will pay a fair dividend. This figure may
be $50 or $50 a share. To those who paid
$40 this is an enormous shrinkage. Some
of the promoters VINO sold stock that cost
them little or nothing for $40 lave made
millions, while those who paid $40 have
lost. Thus far the trust seems to have
found its victims in it's list of shareholders,
most of whom are men of wealth.

Look at me! i am Lilith,
The woman that Adam spurned,
And the slight that he put on my wooing
Into my being burned
Burned 10 my soul, / tell you,
Marring what God made fair,
And a thousand flaming passions
Have left live emberS there.
Truly you would not know me.
Once OF an angels face;
Nor greet me as sib to heaven,
Who carry the DEVILS trace.
But foulness has etched its story,
And mordant malevolence
Has gnawed at my houted beauty
And pillaged my Establishments.
From Eden an outcast, a rebel,
L guided the Serpent in,
And 1 was at hand and eXulted
When Eve made her treaty with Sin.
Twas L sowed the thought that festered
In the heart OF her irst-born. Cain
The black upas thought of killing
That bourgeoned in Abel slain.
You meet me in sooth and in story,
Delilah and Jezehel,
Doing the hest Of my master.
Working the work or hell.
i lodge, p~erchance, in a Borgia,
OR a Goldman harbors me,
Or L make my home with a legend
AS Medusa or Hecate.
Wherever blind fury is boiling
/ am there, with my quarrel imbued,
To give the right bite TO the posset,
To see that the witch broth is brewed.
Through vengeance OF one mans d~espisal.
My breast Il a fountain of hate,
And l give all his kind TO destruction
And hurry them on to their fate.
Wherever conspiracy rankles,
Or desperate counsel is bred;
Wherever crime is engendered,
Or murder is brought to bed,
In some woman'3 suise / am present,
Needing iiego Lucifer's nod,
Fighting for human damnatIon
Gains governments, goodness and God!

Pet. tax val.

The Journal submits that what each per-
son taxed pays on each 500 is the true
measure of the burden of taxation. In
fact, there can be no other so accurate a
measure of the burden.
If the newspaper supporter of Mcguire
had made a study of the articles and sta
tistics of Colonel Wright during the twenty
years he has been at the head of the ma
tional Labor Bureau it would have given
its readers an abundance of facts TO show
that the condition of the mass of the Amer
lean people has been improving with the
passing years, and would have presented
statistics showing that the assumptions
which constitute the creed of Organism are
false.

NO MEMORIAL STAMP
Proposed Tribute to President Me-
kinIey Abandoned

Washington Special to New York Post.
Tbs Postofice Department has deci<ed not
to issue a special stamp in commembration
Of President Mckinley. as had beJn pro-
posed in many quarters. and was ta9en I'M
Ger careful consideration. The objections
to doing this were of the practical s.Jrt. Ii
would require a month at least TO seq a new
issue out. and by that time it was fef much
of the force OF the tribute would lie lost.
But the question OF colors was still Itore Of
an obstacle. BY the terms Of the Postal
Union we have agreed TO have our 2-cent
stamp of the tint that now prevails, and
carmine red would be most inappropriate
for a mourning stamp. Even the: 2-cent
stamp of the Pan-American series which
carries the Empire State Express cut i'm
black, has a very wide red border, 20 that
postal clerks the world over can tellsits de-
nomination readily from its prevailing color.
OF course, a memorial stamp woul,l have
been OF little popular effectiveness sn any
other denomination than , cents.
The United States has never issued a
memorial stamp OF this kind, although
Canada, il is said at the department, has
done so, and doubtless her eXperiente sug-
gested the idea for this country.i The
movement went so far that one meTtber OF
the appropriations committee Of theiHouse
notified the department that he had: prom
ised to urge this action IN response ito the
earnest appeals of his constituents. Our
government has dom a large 5usi.ess in
special series of stamps for expeditions.
and only to-day II sent out a Circular re-
questing pOstmasterS 10 work of their sur
plus stock OF Pan-American stamps by the
end of October, as their sale ceases ut that
time. Heretofore the policy Of the depart
menI has been TO sell these special ,tamps
only on order, and postmasters have been
instructed 10 pass them out 10 customers
only when they were explicitly callhd for.
The reason is that they are much mSre eX-
pensive to manufacture, although a. profit
is always expected from a special settles on
account of the large number which go un-
used into the possession or collectors.
Scientific postal experts do not believe in
the practice, and will be glad TO. know
that the projected memorial issue is.not TO

Senator Allison, OF Iowa, one OF the SIX
