VALUE OF TRUsT-MADE GOODS.

Several weeks ago Mr. W. E. Curtis, of
the Chicago Record-H Herald, took from the
then forthcoming report on the products
OF manufactures a statement showing the
astonishingly small portion thereof turned
out by those manufacturers that have come
into the control OF several plants and are
consequently called trusts. The Indianap-
oils Sentinel took exceptions to the figures,
and now Mr.. Curtis retorts as follows:
The Indianapolis Sentinel says that the
statistics L printed the other day concern
ing the proportion of the manufac curing
industries controlled by the trusts were
cooked up for political purposes" The
Indianapolis Sentinel knows better and
SHOWS a very low estimate of the intelli-
gence of its readers to say such thing
II the editor for moment had believed the
ngures were false or dOctored he would
send his Washington correspondent to the
Census Office to get the facts. but he hasn't
done so. and he never will do so because
he knows the tables were official and accu-
rate. Furthermore, he knows that they
were not intended for political effect, but
were printed news.
When the totals of the manufacturing
census were footed up 1 asked Mr.. North,
chief of that department If he had given
the statistics of the trusts separately from
those of private manufacturers and cor
porations. He replied that he had not but
WOulu 90 SO, ana IN a rev days furnished
me with the tables 1 printed. showing the
share of the trusts in the capital employed,
the output, the wages paid, the number of
men employed, the value of material used
and other facts of interest. The same in
formation has since been published in an
official bulletin by the director of the
census and will appear in the complete re-
ports The editor of the Sentinel can OBJ
tain copy by addressing the Census Office.
The fact that the census statistics show
that the value Of trust-made merchandise
in the United States is a meager SIS per
cent. of the whole is intensely disappoint-
ing to those who expected to make it SO
much more in the political campaign. That
the value Of trust-made goods is given
separately is due TO suggestion of Mr.
Curtis, and was not an original concep-
ton of the chief of the bureau. This makes
the expose more exasperating to men whc
see in it a loss of political thunder.

The condition of the lease is that the
lessees are to explore the mines and if
at the end of the year they want the tract
they are to pay the Fort Wayne syndicate
one million dollars. If the lease ends at
the close of one year, the ore taken from

much encouraged to believe that their pur-
chase Will result in enormous profits and
make them all rich.

that tomorrow all the union employees of

be called out by order of the president of
the Amalgamated Association Of Street.
railway Employees, whose office is at De-
troit Several months ago the men began
organizing, although the attempt was OPP
posed by the company. The conductors and
motormen, however, continued to organize.
They say that fourteen of the forty men
charter. Since the lodge was formed eight
of those who became members have been
discharged for one reason or another. The
manager of the railway claims there were
ample reasons for each discharge, but the
men say they were let out simply because
they joined the union. New men have been
put on the cars during the past month or
so and matters have been coming to a
crisis for some days.
Last night Central Labor Union held a
meeting and authorized President Ripley
to request the president of the national
association for power to call out the union
lists. The executive board of the association
has the matter under consideration and
further action will depend on the reply re-
ceived, but 1t is thought an order will be
granted to declare strike of union men.
This morning conference of Central Labor
Union and the managers of the T1ppecanoe

was decided that unless the trouble is set

CUBA's INTEREST IN ANNEXATION.

There is every reason why those in
habitants of Cuba who have business
and industrial interests in the island should
be in favor Of annexation TO the United
States. This class of residents do not have
much faith in the experiment with indie
pendent government. one Of the first moves
Of the Cuban Congress is a proposition to
issue 100000 of per cent. bonds to pay
off a series Of demands and TO assist sugar
growers. This would saddle the island,
having less than 100000 people. most Of
whom are poor. with an interest account
OF 100000 a year. To-day Indiana has
more inhabitants than Cuba and three or
four times its available wealth. What
would the people Of Indiana say to an is
sue of 100000 of bonds bearing 3 per
cent. interest, involving an annual pay
ment of s2.OOO.OO0 as interest? This com
parison and question will enable one to
comprehend what effect such a proposition
as this loan. already before the popular
branch Of the Cuban Congress, would
have upon those inhabitants of the island
who are interested in its industrial well
fare. If this bill authorizing loan should
receive the sanction of the Cuban Sen
ate and the approval of the President, it
will be an act in violation of the Plat pro-
vision of the Constitution, which declares
that the government of Cuba shall not
assume or contract any public debt to pay
the interest upon which and to make reas-
enable sinking fund provision for the ulti-
/ of WI 10 r6f
revenues of the island, after defraying the
current expenses of government shall not
be adequate" If in the face of this con-
stitutionaI prohibition the proposed issue
Of bonds shall be voted, those now favor
ing annexation in Cuba will have an ad-
d1tional argument of much force.
The argument, however, which is an ap-
peal to all intelligent inhabitants of Cuba
who are not political wreckers is the
great prosperity which has come to Cuba's
little neighbor, Porto Rico, since it has
been annexed to the United States and its
products admitted to this country free of
duty. OF that prosperity there can be no
doubt, and the reason Of 1t is too plain
not to be seen by Cubans. That advantage
Is the difference between paying half the
| value OF their sugar in duties and the pro-
Queer receiving the whole of it. 1t is the
difference between raising sugar without
profit. as Is now the case, and raising IL
at very large profit And with every
product of Cuba which finds its natural
market in this country.
There is no reason TO doubt the reports
from Havana that the annexation senti-
ment is rapidly gaining ground in Cuba.
Indeed, there is every reason to believe
that, instead of the annexation of Cuba
being pressed by the United States, it will
be urged by the intelligent inhabitants
