The OUTLOOK.

The OUTLOOK. AN ODE OF FAREWELL TO THE OLD
 CAMPBELL PRESS OF THE BEE PUB
 LISTING co.
 Like passing years that flee away, The tools we use from day to day Grow worn and worthless, and must l yield
 To better things which take the field. So to our Campbell press we say, Adieu! Old Friend! long good day. Across the paper, spotless white, You I've travelled often, day and night; You've printed truth, you've printed Filled hearts with wrath or glad sur prise.
 So dear old Campbell press we say Adieu old Friend! a long good day. You've tried your best your work to do, And keep THE BEE men busy too. You've sometimes baked, have made
 some pie,
 Have hit the devil in the eye. So long! Old Campbell press, we say Adieu! Old Friend, long good day. No more you'll sound the brave alarm, To save our town from grievous harm, Mo more you'll print of wedding bells, Or when the Fair folks have their sells. Farewell! dear Campbell press, we say Adieu! old friend, a long good day. May we as faithful be to trust AS you have been in grime and dust. May we as boldly tell the truth AS you have done of age and youth. Farewell! dear Campbell press, we say Adieu! old Friend, long good day. Rejoice at the Bethlehem manager. Be glad for the Child who is born;
 Sing again the glad song of the angels In their chimes of the first Christmas morn Fill the sad earth with love's brightest cheer, For the days of the Advent are here.
 He shall reign, this Son of the Virgin.
 Until all mankind shall be free;
 Till the chains shall fall off from all captives. And slaves leap in glad liberty.
 He shall be earth's victorious King
 And the dumb taught by love then shall sing. For love, with its glad jubilate,
 Makes music for hearts that are sad;
 And hatred and strife are all banished,
 While with peace every soul shall be glad. Oh, the Christ of the cradle is King,
 Let your heart, with glad jubilee, sing.

Others who opposed the bill wanted a reduc- tion of $7O,OO0,OOO. There is quite a fight over the reduction on beer. some wanting to have the tax $1.6O and others $1.5O per barrel.

It is estimated that il will cost s2o0, $40, 900 to build canal B feet deep and 150 feet wide at the bot tom, large enough to float any of tn ships of the nations. A ship coul' pass through the Panama canal in l hours, but it will take B hours to ge through the Nicaragua canal.

EUROPE HAS TRUSTS. TOO
ARE PLENTY AND PROSPEROUS
~ GERMANY.
italy has Comparatively Few and
France is the Most Free of oll-Grow-
ing in Austria

Some interesting facts concerning
trusts I'm European countries are pre-
scented in recent consular reports To the
United States government. The name
trust appears 10 DE little used, ~ not
unknown. but the thing itself flour
tshes. In Germny a trust is known
as a cartel" There is one i'm the sugar
trade, comprising rs per cent Of the
whole. There are others In the coal
iron, tin plate, oil, soap, brick, pOtas-
SUM and many other trades. Indeed,
they seem to dominate practically all
branches of industry. Their objects are
to suppress competition, maintain
prices, and, if necessary restrict pro-
duction by the partial or entire clos
ing of works. Probably the total num-
Der of such combinations i'm Germany,
i'm both the wholesale and retail trade,
is not less than 300. Some of these eX-
listed before the adoption of a protec-
is very questionable whether cOnsum-
have arisen since that date, German
economists attribute their multiplied
ton however, not to protection, but
to the general industrial and CONNER
cial tendencies of the age.
Had Germany" says Lehman, mot
adopted a protective policy there would
now be i'm existence a greater number
of powerful international trusts, and it
ton. Indeed, they are probably more
ers would be better off than they are
today"
In Austria Industries are newer than
i'm Germany, and trusts are fewer, but
conditions of production and consump-
ton Indeed they are probably more
offensive there than i'm Germany, for
they have long since ceased to be d
means of defense ana in most cases
are nothing but speculation for an
increase of prices. The iron, coal, oil
and sugar trades are among those
dominated by trusts, and the effect OF
such control has been seen in a 80 pei
cent increase in the price of coal. a
| bill for the regulation of trusts-or car
tels-has been drafted, but not yet en-
acted.
In Belgium there are trusts in the
coal, sugar, plate glass and other
| trades Holland is not q manufacture
| ing, but an agricultural fishing anC
| commercial country Nevertheless the
coal trade and other industries, so fan
as they exist, are in the hands of mo-
nopolies Outside of the iron trade
! Italy appears to have few trusts. Com
petition among manufacturers is in
tense, and consequently wages are eX
tremely low. Recently trusts or syn
dicates" have been formed in the sui
phur and sumaC trades, with the re.
suit of a general increase of wages
Spain, too, has few trusts, excepting
the monopolies granted by the govern
ment in tobacco, matches, etc.
France seems to be of all great in
dustrial countries most free from trusts
