BARRE, VT, JULY 25, 1901

1t h lately become fashionable to
deprecate any talk about the danger
of trusts. Ap, logists for these in
duStrial combines are accustomed to
say, "Oh, they will work out an evo.
luton Of things that will eventually be
for the benefit Of the race" Others
point to the reduction Of prices in
sugar and oil. 1t is to be ted that
these two commodities are the only
ones ever referred to. In the June
number of the Review of Reviews,
Prof. links gives the result Of an i'm
partial investigation Of the connec.
tion between the trusts and prices
and finds in most instances the
consumer had not heen benefited. He
says that nothing is proved by the
fact that the prices Of some manufac-
tured goods are lower now than
before the trust moven ent gained
such Roadway. The only question to
be considered is the marg between
the cost OF raw material and the mar
ket price Of the finished product. He
finds that this margin has increased
since the trust movement was started.
The trust has added to it's profits by
forcing down the cost of the raw ma
terial, next by i'm proving the method
of manufacture, and third by increas-
ing the price t. the consumer. Bene-
fits have resulted from combinations,
he admits, but few of them have
reached the public. The chief benefit
has been retained by the capitalist.
Employees have received part Of it in
higher wages, but the consumer has
received little II any benefit. Prof.
Jinks makes his investigation from
the proper view.point-that Of the
consumer. No one doubts the benefit
of combination to the capitalist. Ale
the people who buy benefited?

LEPERS IN PHILIPPINES.
Estimated That There Are 10000 OF
Them in Archipelago.

Washington, March 21.-Marine Hos
pital Surgeon Perry. quarantine officer
for the Philippines, has forwarded here
an official report of leprOsy in the Phil
ippines. He says.
sLeprosy is widely prevalent over the
entire archipelago, but the greatest num-
Der of cases exist in southern LuzOn and
the southern islands. Tt is quite prev
alent in Cebu, the number Of lepers be-
ing estimated at 1000. The total number
of cases in the islands is estimated at
10000. but the actual number is not
known, and a census is difficult on ac
count of the majority Of cases being in
the rural districts. The cases in Manila
and surrounding country are isolated in
a substantial hospital under the auspices
of the Manila board of health There is
also a leper hospital at Cebu-
"An attempt at segregation and isola-
tion Of the lepers in the islands has been
made by the army officials and several
months ago orders were issued from
headquarters directing that a hospital
in each district be set aside for the isola-
ton of the lepers that could be appre-
hended, and a board of army officers was
detailed recently to investigate several
islands for the purpose of selecting a
suitable one for a leper colony, the in
tention being to deport all cases of lep-
rosy to this place for segregation and
isolation"

FRUIT TO BURN.
State horticultural Society Disposing
of Buffalo Exhibit.

The State Horticultural society, which
put much work all of last sum-
mer on the collection of fruits for an ex-
hibit in the horticultural building at the
Pan-American exposition, is now trying
to dispose of it's exhibit The members
and officers were jealous in their work
and the reward was securing nearly
forty barrels of fruits for the opening
display 1t was the plan to start the
display with the opening OF the fair and
as the season grew Kansas fruits were
to be gathered up as they ripened and
placed in the exhibit. This primary coll
lection was placed in cold storage for
preservation.
When the legislature killed OF Kansas
chances of making an exhibit at BuffalO
by refusing to appropriate any money,
all this work was of no avail. The fruit
that was in cold storage was taken out
recently and has been opened up and an
exhibit arranged with part of 1t in the
rooms of the horticultural society. Apples
in great profusion, pears, peaches, grapes
and other small fruits are exhibited on
several large tables. It is a handsome
viewed it yesterday and the governor at
once sent for a photograp pher to have
pictures of it taken. The rest of the
collection over thirty barrels, have been
placed in the hands of a wholesale deal
er in this city and viii be sold, the pro-
ceedS to be applied to the expenses of
making the cOllecJ1On ana the society
will have to stand the rest.
= OF course it was q bitter disappoint-
ment to the society, after Kansas fruit
had taken numerous prizes at Paris and
all these preparations had been made to
have Kansas stay away from Buffalo.
Hence an amusing argument advanced
in the ways and means committee when
the question Of Buffalo appropriation
was up Compared with the thousands
of dollars at stake it seemed ludicrously
trivial but for the society and in view
of the hard work it represented it meant
much.
A representative of the society said the
appropriation had to be given: it just
must. Why" said he, 1.-The society has
thirty-four barrels Of apples collected"
But the appeal failed.

WILL SEE BIG TREES.
Itinerary is Being Arranged For
Presidents Western Trip.

Washington March 21.-The presi-
dents proposed western trip is attract
ing much attention in the states through
which he is to pass, and invitations from
various cities and towns which hope to
entertain him along the route are daily
arriving at the White House. Today
Representative Meyer of Louisiana pre-
sented to the president the formal invi-
tation of the governor of his state and
the mayor and citizens of New Orleans
to stop in New Orleans. The president
received the invitation very cordially.
New Orleans probably will be the first
stop after the party leaves Washington,
and the president agreed to remain there
q day. General Meyer says the pro-
gramme for the entertainment of the
presidential party is yet to be arranged,
but that it probably will include a ride
on the river, q drive through the city
and a banquet in the evening. AS it is
the present intention to leave here April
80, May probably will be spent in New
Orleans.
Representative Burleson, of Texas,
saw the president, and invited him to
visit Austin on his way through Texas.
The president promised to do so If the
itinerary could be arranged SO as to in
clude the Texas capital. Secretary Cor
telyOu has been working on the itinerary
but practically nothing of a definite
character has been decided upon After
leaving New Orleans the party will stop
at Galveston and Houston, and the
present expectation is that a meeting
with President Diaz of Mexico will be
arranged at El Paso.
The trip through California will in
cIude visit to the big trees. At San
Francisco the party will stop a week in
connection with the events attending the
launching of the battleship Ohio. On
the return trip over a northern route the
party will visit Yellowstone Park and
thence probably take a run down to
Denver. A sail by steamer down the
great lakes from Duluth to Buffalo also
probably will be included in the trip
After the president returns from his
western trip he is going to New Eng
land. He already has accepted an in
vitation to be present at the Harvard
commencement exercises at Cambridge,
visit Worcester Concord, Boston, and
other places.

GROWING IN FAVOR.
Plan to Have All Share Alike in Chi
nese indemnify.

Washington, March 21.-Another ard
later advice from Mr.. Rockhill, our spec
ial commissioner at Pekin, is Of a more
hopeful tone than those imme ediateIy pre-
ceding; for it indicates that the subject
of indemnities is being discussed with
an apparent disposition to reach a unan-
imous conclusion
The United States proposition looking
to the agreement Of the powers upon a
lump sum fos indemnities fixed by the
ability of the Chinese to pay without
destroying the government seems to be
growing in favor. But the difficulty is
rhat while perhaps the majority Of the
powers, even all OF them, might be IN
duced to adopt the principle of thus
gauging the burden to the strength Of
China they are far from unanimous as
to the method of distribution of this
money among themselves.
So far. although no less than three
schemes Of valuation have been conSid-
cred at PelSin. it has not been possible to
secure the adoption of any one.
Without displacing the pending propo-
sition. the United States government has
advanced another and a radical propo-
sition; namely, to divide the total in
dem1ity cOllected-say 5000, 900 ,OOO-into
eight parts Of which the United States
would receive one. It is true that ten
powers are represented at Pel1in, but at
least two Of them have no foundation
for a claim for indemnity This suggeS-
ton has not been warmly received f.y
those nations which claim to have been
put to very much more expense than was
the United States. through the boxer
troubles Bue the answer has been thar
in most cases the greater part Of these
expenses was absolutely unnecessary;
that there was no occasion for the mann
tenance Of large military forces in China
after the fall of Pekin and equally ua-
necessary and even pernicious were the
various so-called punitive expenditions
which have been dispatched from Pel1ip
at short intervals ever since that date
