EUROPE HAS MANY TRUSTS.

The Industrial Commission has made pub
lie summary of a report on industrial
combinations in Europe prepared by Prof.
J. w. jerks.
The result of the investigations covered
by the report will be considered In the
framing of the final report which the COM
mission will make 10 congress. The Sc
port says that everywhere in Europe mo-
tably in Germany and Austria, there Is
strong tendency toward the formation OF
these combinations. In Germany and Aus
tra their extent and power probably are
as great as in the United States, but the
plan of organization Is materially :iiffer-
ent. Within the last three years In Eng
land an active movement has set In toward
the concentration of industry INTO large
single operations in form similar to those
in the United States. The movement in
France is evident. though the managers OF
the combinations are not inclined, IN view
of the severe provision of the French code.
to let their movement appear IN public.
Much is made dependent there on mere
verbal agreements. Following are the COLI
illusions of the report:
IT There is relatively little objection to
combinations in Europe, and in some coun-
tries the governments and people seem to
believe that they are NEEDED to meet mod
ern industrial conditions. They believe
that they should be carefully supervised
by the government. AMI. if necessary. con-

existence. They at stn1es .lse the ta1'n ia

The tariff should be guarded Sc as to pre-
vent serious abuses. bat there Is practicai-
" no thought of its abolti.',a

practically abolished in Europe. and IN
consequence they hav3 had no effect to-
ward creating combinations.
-. The great degree Of publicity III the
organization of corporations has largely
prevented the evils arising from stock
watering, and has evidently had much ef'
feet in keeping prices steady and reason
able and in keeping wages steady and just

ward the passage of laws which shall at

The old man said nothing. but stared

II was sad affair, the killing of
Joe Wilson by his brother Jim. Joe
was by far the best one OF the two
young men-a quiet fellow, who had
stood by the old folks manfully, and
done his full share towards making
the evening of their lives little more
comfortable than it otherwise would
have been. He was sober. steady, and
well liked by every one. Especially
was he fond OF his mother-he was
always showing it by little thoughtful
acts. To her, he was all there was in
life, she had few dreams of happiness
beyond him.
On the contrary. Jim was about the
most trifling limb OF Satan in the en-
tire settlement. He was drunk half
the time, and manifested deep and
steady aversion to the strenuous life.
