IOIllJGu dllSl lnS CtISuS NCdl IN was
not included in the list of 1873 trusts.
This writer must have had this cen
sus bulletin before him when he was
copying figures and statements from
page 2 relates to the great steel or
poration and the reasons why the re-
turns from it were not included in the
trust tables. The writer evidently
wanted to make as good a case as pos
sible, and decided to deliberately fall
sify statements to make it easy for
republican speakers and writer's to de-
ceive the people. Hence he stated that
the steel trust, whose capital was one
third of all, was included in the list.
Of course he expected republican
speakers to tell the people that out
side of this steel trust. the total out
put in trust combinations was only
So. 900, 900. 003, and that the trust ques-
ton was Icing greatly exaggerated
by the wicked democrats. Hundreds
of spellbinders will undoubtedly use
his figures.
The campaign book treats this list
of 1873 trusts as if it were a complete
list and embraced all the trusts in the
country. 1t is far from complete. 1t
does not, for example. include any of
the scores of gas and electric light
combinations, although the value of
their products forms a large part of
the $13.0 ZOO. 1000, 900 of total manufac-
lures, the value of gas alone being $751;
716.6 93.
How very incomplete this trust list
is, is evident from the fact that as
far back as 1899 the Journal of Com
merce and Commercial Bulletin Year
Book of New York contained a list of
AIS trusts (including well-known price
fixing agreements and a few projected
and chartered trusts, with a total
capitalization, issued and estimated,
of $7,41s,235,342 Surely the writer
had heard of these year book lists.
Why did he ignore them, unless with
intent to deceive? The list print
ed in the appendix of this years's
(democratic) book contains 2S5
incorporated trusts with an issued
capital of Sc ,743, ASS. 1851. 1t is pre-
pared by Mr.. John Moody, the great
est expert on industrial securities,
etc, in this country.
Again, the census list contains none
of the hundreds of unincorporated
trusts, price-fixing agreements, asso-
Citations, pools, etc. which census
bulletin No. 122 tells us "are often more
effective in regulating prices O..
than actual consultations under a
charter" One of these is the beef
trust, which has a product valued at
$500, 900. COO or 5000. 900, 900 out of the
$7S6, 000, 900 which forms part of the
$13, 600, 000, 900; another is the Bes-
semer Ore association, with a product
of nearly $100,0 900, 900; another is the
steel rail pool, with a product of 500
900, 900; others of Importance are the
anthracite coal combine, the structural
steel pool. the Steel Bar association.
the Steel Plate association, and scores
Of other associations and pools in
steel, hardware, chemicals, agricul-
tural implements, etc.
Beyond a doubt, the prices on two
thirds of our manufactured products
are fixed by trusts of some kind. The
public is not mistaken when they give
heed to this subject and insist upon
discussing it seriously and often.

A DAY AT SYCAMORE HILL.
Matters Discussed BY the President aud
His Visitors at the Nations
Summer Capital.

Oyster Bay, n. Y, Aug. 1.-THE
president Friday gave orders that
hereafter the names of the enlisted
men of the army who die in the Phil
ippines be cabled to this country once
in every two weeks. When the volun-
teer army was in the archipelago it
was the custom to cable the casual
ties, but on the withdrawal of that
army the practice was discontinued.
The subject was discussed while the
president was entertaining a number
of visitors at luncheon Friday.
Among those who sat at his table
were Major-Generals H. C. Corbin and
S. B. NJ. Young; Henry LOOMS, the
author; Jacob A. Riis, of New York;
Robert A. Morris, chairman of the
New York County Republican com
mittee; former Gov. David r. Francis,
of Missouri, president of the Louisi-
ana Purchase Exposition Co.; Henry
NJ. Warren, of Philadelphia, son Of
Bishop Warren, of the Methodist
church, and Congressman Mercer, of
Nebraska.
The Cost of Cabling Deaths.
The president Ia greatly interest
ed in the matter, and as soon as it
was explained to him, ordered Gen.
Corbin to instruct Gen. Chaffee, at
Manila, to cable his full casualty Ilst
twice a month. While it costs on al
average of $3.50 to cable news to this
country of the death of an officer in
the Philippines, it costs about thirty
dollars for each enlisted man. This
difference is due to the fact that the
war department has code numbers
for all it's officers, while the of
the enlisted men, together with their
company, regiment, etc, must be sent
in full.
st. Louis Exposition Affairs.
Former Gov. Francis discussed st.
Louis exposition affairs with the
president. He informed him that the
dedicatory ceremonies would occur
April 30 next, this being the one hun.
dredth anniversary of the transfer of
the ceded territory from the FreE-h
government to the United States.
President Roosevelt promised to at
tend these ceremonies, and further
stated that he would have our repre-.
sentatives abroad instructed to use
their best e%ndeavors to induce for.
eign governments to have exhibits at
the exposition. He instructed Gener.
ais Corbin and Young, who sail Sat,
urday on the Fatherland for Ger.
many to become the guests of En-.
peror William during the maneuvers
OF the Germany army, to do all they
could to further the interests in Ger.
many of the exposition. The two
army officers came to pay their re.
spects to the president before sailing.
Political Affairs Discussed.
Mr.. Mercer discussed the political
situation in the northwest, and he in.
formed the president that his recep-
ton in Omaha next month would not
be confined to M political party, but
would be participated in by all the
citizens, irrespective of political atfil.
iations.

RECEIVED BY KINK EDWARD.
The Boer Generals, Botha. DeWet and De-
larcy Received by King Edward
On the Royal Yacht.

London, Aug. 1s.-The Boer gener-
ais, Botha, De Wet and Delarey, who
reached here Saturday from South
Africa, left London at half past nine
o'clock Sunday morning for Cowes,
Isle of Wight, to see King Edward
on board the royal yacht Victoria and
Albert.
The hour of their departure from
London was kept secret, consequently
the streets were deserted when the
three generals, accompanied by their
secretaries, but by none of the ladies
of their party, started for Cowes.
They were stylishly attired in frock
coats and silk hats.
Upon arriving at Southampton the
Boer generals were welcomed on
board the commander-in-chief's yacht
Wildfre by Earl Roberts and Gen.
Lord Kitchener. They Immediately
visited King Edward on board the
Victoria and Albert, and were then
taken for a trip around the feet in
the Wildfire. They returned to Lon
don Sunday evening, accompanied by
Earl Roberts and Gen. Lord Kitchen
er, who took leave of the Beers at
Waterloo station.
In an interview with a representa-
tive of the press Gen. Botha's secre-
tary described the visit to his majes-
ty. He said that when the Boer gen.
erals boarded the royal yacht King
Edward came forward, and, after they
had been introduced, shook hands
with each of them. The Beers were
highly pleased with their reception.
After a brief and informal talk of a
nOn-political character with King Ed
ward, they were introduced to Queen
Alexandra and Princess Victoria.
To Attend Gen. Meyers Funeral.
Brussels, Aug. 1S.-The Boer gem
erals, De Wet, Delarey and Botha, are

Africa. Among the many wreaths
sent for the funeral of Gen. Meyer
were n from former President kru-
ger of the Transvaal and Joseph
Chamberlain, the British colonial sec
rotary. The wreath sent by Mr..
Chamberlain was composed of SPLEEN
did orchids.

Wine for Horses.

There is now too much win ordi-
Eaire' in France. owing to growers
having abandoned win de luxe" and
the Central Society of Agriculture of
Herault calls attention to a proprietor
who gives the common wine to horses
as part of their diet This was done
before, in 1874 and 1875 when the
harvests were abundant The horses
require to be habituated to the wine
by sleeping part of their corn in it
and putting this in the bottom of the
manger below corn untreated. The
proportion of corn with wine is in
creased gradually, until the horse
comes to like it. Some horses are
thus led to drink wine almost pure
and even to enjoy it. They trot very
we'll on the wine, although the ration
of corn is diminished in proportion.
NJ Montclair has given wine to
draught horses and finds that bar
ley or other grains with wine are
about as stimulating as corn.-Lon-
don Globe.
