WORST IN SIXTY YEARS.

Erie, Pa, Has Had a Succession oh
storms, Amounting to "A Blizzard.
ERIE, Pa.,April 20.-The snow storm
OF Friday night and Saturday and the
sleet storm OF Saturday night was the
worst known here in sixty years and
surpassed the famous blizzard of March.
1883 There is twenty-five inches of
snow on the level, and during Saturday
nearly every trolley line in the city
was Knocked out. To-day traffic was
resumed irregularly Wires were down
and crossed and telephone companies
blocked. Saturday night there were
two fires from crossed telephone wires
carrying heavy currents into the build
ings Reports from outside the city,
west, east and south, show snow three
feet deep and great damage to fruit
trees from the wet snow Suburban
stage, mail and trolley lines were aban-
doned. There were four freight wrecks
on the Lake Shore railroad at Girdard
Junction, this county. The heavy snow
plow went off the rails and tore up two
hundred feet of track. AT Swanyille
and Harbor Creek cars jumped the
track, and at Westfield. N. Y, seven
cars on a freight left the rails. The
night Erie & Pittsburg run was aban-
doned when the train went off the
track at the west city limits.

SOME TRUSTS THAT DON'T PAY.

President Henry Burn Of the Ma
tional Wall Paper Company testified
Saturday before the Industrial Commits
sion that, after membership in two
combinations, he had reached these
general conclusions regarding trusts:
Observation-Disclosures does not benefit I'M
less it controls. especially in industries in
which prices are not based on intrinsic
values alone.
Second-Consolidation invites competi-
ton and antagonizes the public.
Third-Consolidation aids labor in en-
forcing its demands. labor being able to
concentrate its efforts on one concern in
stead of dividing them among a large
number.
Mr.. Burns testimony is thus sum-
married:
Mr. Burn said that the first wall paper
combination was the result of an agita-
ton which had been in progress for thirty
years. and it was due to the supposition
that great economy would be secured and
that competition could be reduced. It had.
however, been found that both end. were
incapable Of Accomplishment.
When the company sought to close up
factories and cut out jobbers it was
found that public sentiment sustained the
persons who claimed to be injured by thi.
ireesss. The consequence was the start
ing Of new factories. which in time organ.
is>a an opposition combination.
yhsn the two eSnSolidations were COM
binss as the Continental Company. But it
was seen found that all competition had
net even been ovsresrae: that other fac
tories were constantly starting up. This
rssulted In the dissolution Of the combine.
all Of the factories being bought back by
the original owners
Mr.. Burn also stated that the consolida-
ton had resulted in vast increase in the
price Of labor. the wages of block cutters
Increasing from s12 and SIS pert week to
from $A to sS5 per week They also had
secured an extension Of their time of en-
ployment.
Mr.. Burn expressed the opinion that
there are many combinations which
would 60 out Of business were they not

MAY BE WORSE IN MAY.

Prof. Andrew Jackson Devoe,
weather prophet, came pretty close
thus far to foretelling the exact stu
alton for the month of April. His pre-
diction was:
This month will be notable for more
sudden changes from warm to cold than
usual and heavy rains instead of showers.
Farming operations will be somewhat in
terrupted thereby. LIST to I'd, cold wave;
Sd to 9Th, storm will move up the Allan
tic Coast, causing cold, unpleasant
weather and rain over the eastern half
of the country. 7th to 9Th, cold wave; 10th
to 18th, storm forming over the East
Gulf States will move up the Atlantic
Coast, causing heavy rains over the
South Atlantic States, and cold wave
over the Western States. 18th to 18th,
pleasant. On the 18th to 18th a great
storm will appear over the Gulf of Mexico
and move northward, causing very cold
wave over the northern and snow over the
New England States on the 18th and 10Th.
21st to oath, pleasant; 18th to Is, a storm
will form over the lower lakes and move
rapidly eastward, causing cold ,blustery
weather. 18th to 3eth pleasant
He has come SO near to the facts UP
to date that his prediction for May will
be read with interest and may cause
timid believers some alarm, for Prof.
Devoe predicts much worse weather
for next month and, specifically, prob
able floods in the Ohio and Mississippi
valleys Here is his forecast for May:
This month will be noted for great
storms and heavy rains, with violent
changes in temperature unusual at this
season of the year. Floods are probable
over the Mississippi and Ohio Valleys, and
should be prepared for LIST to 4th, great
storm will form over Texas, and move up
the Mississippi Valley, causing very heavy
rains over the Southwestern States, fol-
lowed by unusually cold weather over the
Northern States from the 5th to Sth. 9Th
to 18th, cold, cloudy, threatening weather.
18th to IA, a storm will form over the East
Gulf States. and move up the Atlantic
Coast, causing heavy rains over the Mid
die Atlantic and a cold wave over all the
Northern States. 18th to 21st, cloudy,
threatening weather, followed by heavy
rains over the Ohio Valley and West Gulf
States, with danger of foods and lorna
does in the Ohio and Mississippi Valleys.
22d to oath, cold wave; 18th to 18th, another
storm will form over the Ohio Valley,
causing heavy rains throughout the mid
die section of the United States, and cold
wave over the Western States. 18th to
31st. very cold weather over all the
Northern States"

THE TARIFF AND PUBLIC WRITE

THE TARIFF AND PUBLIC VIRTUE,
The latest article sent out by the New
England Free Trade League is a timely
one by Mr.. Franklin Pierce On the sub
Ject of Protective Tariffs and Public
Virtue" He lays bare the source of
much of the political degeneracy of the
times. Clearly and vigorously Mr.
Pierce shows how our present tariff
system is sapping the fine American
spirit of self-reliance and independence,
and has led thousands to rely upon
special legislation, upon government
aid, as the easiest road to wealth. He
we'll says, Those who live under a
representative form of government must
rise morally, or they will sink polit-
ically." Certain it is that the Ameri-
can people must throttle this monster
Of perverted protection, and extirpate
the brood of trusts and monopolies born
of it, or the forces of monopoly and
plutocracy will surely sooner or later
throttle their liberties.
Mr.. Pierce's appeal is to the manhood
o. every patriotic American The per-
nicious effects of special legislation,
benefting the few at the expense Of
tAe many the swarms of trusts and
monopolies arising from so-called pro
lection" the incessant efforts of ever
increasing hordes Of self-seekers to fat
ten on the government through tariff
made monopoly, ship subsidies, sugar
bounties, etc.-all these can and will be
remedied by the people when they are
once aroused

80 hampered BY debt as to prevent their
SO doing. He thought in view Of his
experience that the public need not
fear the effect of trusts because Of the
certainty that high prices would al
ways result in arousing competition and
the consequent reduction of prices
Mr.. Burns conclusions are justified
by his experience in the wall paper
trust, and there are. as he says, many
other trusts that are similarly working
their own ruin by greedy efforts to ar
bitrarily contol prices, which simply
invites the erection of new factories.
just as an increase in the price of oil
starts validating and the drilling of
new wells. There are trusts, however,
such as the great steel combine formed
by Mr.. Morgan, which, controlling both
the supplies of raw material and the
means of transportation of both that
and the finished product, have a real
monopoly that effectually shuts out all
competition.
Combinations of this character. into
which American industry seems to be
drifting, unless their monopoly shall
take in all the world, the raw materials
OF the earth together with the means of
transportation, can be effectually dealt
with and defeated by lowering the tar
if bars, behind which they operate, and
letting in foreign competition.
Tariff reform is to-day the only eff
fectual remedy for the trust evil. Take
away the protection that creates
monopolies and they will be rendered
Ineffective and the combinations use
less. They will be forced to sell at
fair prices in the home market. where
now, under cover of the tariff. they
force the American consumer to pay
two and three times the prices they
charge foreigners in foreign markets
for the same wares.
