cite organizations by the interests rep
resented by ]. Pierpont Morgan & Co.,
is described by the New York Herald
as romance in the history of financial
undertakings THAT property
which was sold as worthless two years
ago. says the Herald, should be the
means of bringing about transaction
last week involving distribution OF
$27 100000 to shareholders, and entail
ing an outlay of $27, 800 900 by J. Pier
pont Morgan & Co., is indeed remark
able. Such is the story of the purchase
OF the Pennsylvania Coal company, and
such is the direct result of the sale of
| the abandoned canal of the Delaware &
Hudson company" The following &C
count of the events leading up to the
purchase is condensed from the Phila-
! delphia Enquirer:
For a number of years the individual
operators of the anthracite region have
been firmly in the grip of the great cor
porations. BY merely raising the tolls
| could freeze them out of any distance
| market, and by failing to give them cars
! enough to transport their coal the com>
panies could and did say when their
mines should be operated. The rail-
roads being themselves the principal
coal miners have been able, by the sub
terfuge of charging themselves an ex-
or bitant rate for carrying coal to tide
! water, to make an apparently undis
eliminating traffic charge.
Some months ago it appeared as if the
operators might find some relief through
the building of an independent railway
from their mines to tidewater, but they
would never carry their project to COM
| pletion
Apparently they lacked nothing ex-
| cept sincerity. There was money
enough within their reach. The ton
mage likewise was there. Rights were
| acquired through the medium of pur-
chase or lease, and there was every rea-
SON why the road should be built. And
| now we learn that one of the most i'm
portant factors in the proposed line was
the first to sell out the rest, the Pennsyl-
| vania Coal company, to wit.
The capital of the Pennsylvania Coal
company was $5,O0OO0O, but the market
value of the company was, just before
the deal was engineered, had risen to
100000. The price paid for the
stock was $27,6000OO.
The result of this gigantic transaction
! will be to put the coal trust beyond fear
OF competition, says the Cleveland
Plain Dealer. In a short time" adds
the Providence Journal, consumers
may be as completely dependant on the
managers of the coal roads for their fuel
in winter as the family using oil is on
the Standard Oil company The Seran-
tor Tribune believes that the new ar
| rangement will mean complete subjuga--
ton of the remaining individual opera
tors; and the Wilkesbarre News de-
plores the ever-growing organization
and consolidation of capitalist interests,
OIL the ground that it is widening the
chasm between employer and employed.

Defeat for the Anti-Trust Movement
The proceedings brought against the
Standard Oil company by ex-Attorney
General Frank S. Monnett, in Ohio, have
ended in decided victory for the COM
pany. In 1892 the Ohio supreme court
"ousted" this trust on the ground that it
had exceeded it's corporate powers in
the state; but the company was still
doing business in November, 1897, when
Mr.. Monnett proceeded against 1t for con-
tempt of court in falling within rea-
sonable time to obey the courts ord
Then began a contest, in the course Of
which Mr.. Monnett failed to secure re-
nomination by the Republican party, and
the result of which is now seen in a
divided decision rendered by the SUI
preme court of the state, Dec II, which
practically has the effect of dismissing

Dear Sir:-Believing 1t 70 be my duty

cation (if you so elect) an account Of the
benefit myself and family have received
from using your Dead Shot to Catarrh.
Last fall caught heavy cold and
could not break it up, and it resulted In
catarrh in the head. 1t kept growing
worse and commenced to settle on my
lungs; it bothered me to breathe; was
raising large quantities of phlegm and
I was very much worried over my con-
dition. 1t SO happened l was delegate
to the State Farmers Alliance and In
dustrial Union, last winter, and the last
evening Of the session, l had been at
a committee meeting, and Eric Olson,

ent, and just as we were parting he
took out of his pocket little box and
commenced putting something into his

said It was Dead Shot to Catarrh.

let me try it; he did so and took the

had catarrh for long time; we have
tried several remedies. and among them
Dr.. Halls great remedy, that he offered
to give 500 for any case 1t will not
cure. She used several bottles and got
no relief. She bled at the nose con-
tinually. She had not used one-half
box of Dead Shot before the bleeding
was stopped and she was almost well.
] have sold good many dozen boxes In
this section and l have got to find one
person that has used it who is not con-
WINGED that 1t is the only remedy that
will cure catarrh, thereby preventing so
many from dying with consumption.
Everyone who uses it tries to keep it in
the house, as it is sure cure for cold
as soon as 1t is contracted. l am con-
WINGED that after person has once had
oatarrrh, 1t being parasite, the men,
brane of the nose will never set natural
again, and they will always be more
susceptible to colds and catarrh; but
with Dead Shot to Catarrh always on

it. Please send me two dozen boxes.

Then wept the royal queen, and babe
Lord Bobs his hand to stay.
But mighty thieves control the crown.
And Bobs cannot obey.
In sorrow keen, earth's greatest queen,
Passed DER the great divide;
Bereft of crown and royal gown,

Try Public Railroads.

Once in while your Oppressors will

wise enough to see what manner of ar
animal it is. A. A. Schenck, superin
tendent of the Chicago and Northwest

with the cheapness of rail- quotes the
Engineering News of New York, the
highest authority, as follows:
1T is possible to move freight by raj
on low grade roads at total cost Of
one mill per ton-mile, including interest
on cost of railway and rolling stock
Perhaps not one reader out of a hun.
dred understands what ton-mile means
and not one out of thousand under
stands what the rate means when trans.
lated into car and distance. For the
benefit os such shall try to put it into
such form as will make it plain. II
means that to haul car of 20 tons 100
miles only costs ST. And this includes
return for capital, wear and tear and
labor! What do you think of that?
That would be the freight rate unde,
public ownership, even if the govern
ment borrowed the money to buy On
build the roads and paid interest.
1t does not cost any more to haul one
kind OF freight than another. 1t would
cost, counting interest, not to exceed
Is cents ton to lay down in Kansas
