HE LIKES WICHITA
An Extensive Traveller Says the
Town Ia IA Hummer.

Mr. Arthur p Cutter Of Chicago ar
rived in the city last night for a short
visit. Mr.. Cutter is at present In the
brokerage business in that city. and this
is his first visit to Wichita. lie was
the agent of mining properties Of the
Gould system from 1850 TO 1856 and then
accepted position as chief clerk OF
the Illinois Central railway and then
for some time was salesagent for the
Erie and Wyoming Valley railroad He
moved to New York and accepted a
position with an exploration syndicate
in Wall street and later went into the
brokerage business in Chicago. His sis
ter, Mrs. DIR. Hutton, lives here, and in
a short time his mother and brother
VIII move here from Atchison and make
this city their future home.
Last night Mr.. Cutter talked with a
reporter for the Eagle and said:
Next TO Pittsburg, Penn. Wichita IS
the liveliest town on the map. The CITY
Of Smoke and Cinders has al those great
iron industries, so Wichita cannot come
up 10 it. but there is not another city
in the country that ] have ever visited
that can even trot in the same class
Wichita IS n hummer. and before 7 leave
I shall make some investments here. as
I am sure they Will pay big returns. I
never saw so much hustling in . city Of
even three times its size as there IS in
Wichita Every one of your citizens is
a hustler for business for himself and
he never misses a good chance 20 speak
a few words for the Peerless Princess.

/ thought it was at first. but every man
who has been in Wichita for the past
year told me of the great business Of your
little city and ] thought I would make
it a visit. rs 7 wanted TO see for myself
II all those tales were true. They hard
Is seemed possible. So when I got here
and saw the town l was nearly knocked
Of my feet. for they had not told half

done IN Wichita.

was committed.
The exact amount of goods stolen is
not known as yet. The owner and his
clerks have not made up an invoice OF
the store since the robbery, and they
could only judge the amount by the va
cant places IN the stock. Nothing in
the stock had been dist bed except the
amount taken away. The thieves entered
The building. filled up their sacks with
what they wanted and departed. Staple

pieces of meat.

WHY TRUSTS MUST FAIL.

From Denver Post.
some Idea Of what Ru-sell-agc meant,
when he recently declared that the
present trust system of the country
must soon collapse Of its oxn weight,
may be gathered from a few facts re-
garding the organization of the United
States Steel Corporation, commonly
designated !. the steel Trust
When this gigantic project ~as finst
undertaken, 1t was estimated the, a
cash capital Of s205. .O10.or0 would be re-
quired.
The first requisite to busines. propos-
als was guarantee that this would
be forthcoming when required.
]. P. Morgan Z Company undertook
to furnish that guarantee.
A. 5 matter Of actual fact, but s25,-
o00, 900 Of the estimated s2o0, 900, 900 Of
cash capital was ever required or put
into the corporation.
This So 10000 J. p. Morgan q Com
pany placed among its investing pat
rons, the latter receiving stock consid-
erably in excess Of the amount OF cash
supplied.
For their services merely as guaran.
tors and agents, ]. P. Morgan & Com.
pany received SO, SOC, 900, of which $50.
900, go was IN cash and the rcnalnde:
in stock.
In other words, they received com
mission Of 30 per cent upon the a
mount raised, the transaction repre-
senting not dollars investment OF
their own part.
| II was such transactions as these
declared to be characteristic of all trusr
operations-that Mr.. Sage referred tc
a. being the certain destruction of th,
trust system.
The argument is that such transac
tions are not legitimate business.
And only legitimate business can per
manently endure.
Another point:
Only s25, 100000 Of the estimated
300, 10000 cash capital required wa.
actually paid in.
1 Yet stocks and bonds to the entire n
mount of the 500, 600, 900 were issuec
and sold s175, 900, 600 Of watered secur
tiles.
Thus So, 100000 of capital actual,
invested must be made to pay dividend
upon s2O0,000,000 Of capital stock
nominal per cent. dividend being ii
reality an per cent. profit.
The Steel Trust dividends have aver
aged about IL per cent. year
. Its actual profits have therefore beel
about s6 per cent. per annum, afte
paying fabulous salaries to its manag
ing officers and directors.
As Mr.. Sage points out, no busines
! can pay such profits without robbin
. the consumer.
, And when the consumer refuse
longer to be robbed, then will come tn
crash.
Then the stakeholder who has pui
chased upon the inflated basis will los
