TRUSTS AND THE CENSUS.

Of the so called trusts the census repot y

chat the work of the census bureau is q IL
iincd to finding out how many there arc
Of us, how many blacks and whites and
possibly how many cows, sheep and hogs
ar" roaming about. But in reality the
census finds out q great many interest ing
practical and valuable things.
For instance, take census bulletin 40.
%. devoted to the paper and pulp induS-
tries. From this we learn that in the past
decade, 1870 to 1900, the number of es-
Establishments has increased from GiJ tn
,d' or l7.b per cent, that the capital invest
eel has increased from SS9,S39,5iS to $it7,
'orl3 or Sj,3 per cent, that the wug
'drncrs have increased from 81 $50 to ~.
biG or i9.2 per cent that the total wages
have increased Sl$,20iS2S to $50 74G.i 2G or
"Dl per cent; that the cost of mater la Is
used has increased from $4i, rs, 4sO to So
90 or j9.5 per cent; and that the value
of product has increased from $79,933iNi
10 SIT Gl62, or co. per cent. Not only
does tho bulletin show these remarkable
figures In the way of increase but ii shows
that the prices on the various kinds OF pa
per has been reduced. In 1890 the ave IA ~
piice FER ton Of news paper was SG1, in 1906
1t was So; in 1890 the average price per
ton of book paper was Sl0l in 1900 1t was
Sd' in 1880 wrapping paper was $50 per tn
in 1850 it was SAG per ton.
So here we md from tho government
census reports that not only has the con.
Snliddtlon of certain establishments been
accompanied by a large increase Of slim
llar establishments and consequent in

amount of wages as well as value Of out

There is nothing in paragraph OF
schedule A, act of March 3. 1901. which i'm
plies that a purchase or sale of stocks
must be presumed, and written memoir
audum delivered when a transaction Is
closed or terminated. On the other hand,
the act presupposes that transactions are
closed without such memorandum of pur-
chase or sale, because they are made with
the intent that they may be closed. ad-

THE CUBANS LESS BITTER.
Mr. Cooper Believes They Will Ac
cept the PIntt Amendment.

Representative Cooper of Wisconsin,
Chairman of the Committee on lnsuiar
Affairs in the last House, who has re
turned from Cuba. where he went to In
yestigate the conditions there. said yes
terday that he believed the constitutional
Convention now in session at Havana
would eventually accept the conditions
laid down by this Government in the
Plat amendment. The objection of the
delegates to the terms of the amendment
was more in regard to the way they were
presented than to the terms themselves
The Cubans considered the proceedings
too abrupt and as lacking in courteous
regard for the feelings Of the Cuban peo-
pie. Mr.. Cooper had been assured that II
a committee of the convention had been
invited to Washington for the purpose of
arranging with the President the basis of
relations which would exist between the
two countries the entire matter would
undoubtedly have been agreed upon
through negotiations. Mr.. Cooper thought,
however, that the irritation caused by the
Plat amendment was rapidly passing
away and in a short time 1t would be ac-
cepted.
The best interests of the island. how
ever would. he thought, be secured by
the delay so that before the Cubans were
given control they might acquire more
experience in the administration of local
self-government, and bitterness between
them and the Spanish residents, in a de-
gree NAV die out
