Trusts and Their Erect.

The idea held by some persons that
trusts are advantageous to working
men through an increase of produc-
ton receives a very complete ans
wer in the statistics furnished by re-
cent census bulletins. which give
comparative figures for the develop
ment of leading American Industries
during the decade from 1890 to- 1900.
These statistics show the compare
tive capitalization. production. en-
plOyment. wages paid. etc. Accord
ing to them. between 1890 and 1900
the number of Touring and grist mills
increased by nearly 1000. the capital
invested in them increased over S1O.-
100000, and the annual value of their
products by S47 .OOO.O 900. The total
number of wage-earners employed
was decreased by 10000 and the total
wages paid decreased S435. 900. The
Touring and grist mill industry is
completely controlled by~trusts. and

not enough of them to have any ma

pointed out. is that trusts are detri.
mental in every way To the interests
of the great ma sses OF the people
and showings of comparative in
creases i'm general results do not
prove prosperity for the masses
but only for the Lroprietors. who are
not only reducing labor. but also tax
ing the consumer to the limit. while
they are driving competitors out OF
business through RAILROAD discrimina-
tions and other violations of the laws
of the land. The trust problem is
one of the most serious that con
front the American people.

Catarrh has become such a common
disease that person entirely free from
this disgusting complaint is seldom met
with. 1t is customary to speak of Catarrh
as nothing more serious than bad cold,
a simple inflammation of the nose and
throat. 1t is, III fact, a complicated and
very dangerous disease; if not at first, it
very soon becomes so.
The blood is quickly contaminated by
the foul secretions, and the poison through
the general circulation is carried TO all
parts of the system.
Salves, washes and sprays are unsatis-
factory and disappointing, because they dc
not reach the seat of the trouble. S. S. S.
does. It cleanses the blood of the poison
and eliminates from the system all catar-
rha1 secretions, and thus cures thoroughly
and permanently the worst cases.
