l have never before failed of get
ting the paper on the Monday follow
ing the date of publication. | was
very much amused in reading the
piece "God-Ordained Revenues" which
struck me as something that might be
called wise or "otherwise" Freaks
of the Mind" I had read in The In
dependent, and | was impressed with
the idea that the writer of this last
article was a little too dogmatic in
his assertion, Where-referring to the
editor-he says: "He confounds men
with society. These are two wholly
distinct and different things" Which
may be, or may be mott depends.
1t is not immutably so from any
mans "say so"-sure.
Freaks of the mind, take it. in
clude much good, as well as much
poor logic, and beside it all, is includ-
ed much illogical guess-work about
things we know not Of.
| have felt much sympathy for the
editor of The Independent in his pit
of darkness s"-as compared with his
correspondents abode where the light
of fore-knowledge of the Creators in
tentions seems to shine freely.
Your correspondent seems to guess.
in self-satisfed way, that the AL
mighty meant to put the "single tax"
into the list of his commandments, and
very coolly resting his case on this
assumption, as won, he "cheekilv"
shifts the burden of proof onto the
editor by telling him that ''it is UP to
him to prove the contrary" Well,
should smile. Guess-work is good
work if you only guess right! But it
seems the editor don't subscribe" to
the revealing" powers of guess-work
about infinite designs" He wants
to see the sure-enough "affidavy" with
the genuine signature to the writer's
commission. Come forward, presag-
ers, and show your credentials!

meyer for his own stockholders are
| best illustrated by taking a concrete
example. The man who paid par, or
ten thousand dollars, for one hum
dred shares of sugar refneries stock
at the time of the formation of the
trust in 1887, and kept his shares until
the present time, would have received
thirteen thousand six hundred dol
lars in dividends, or one hundred and
thirty-six per cent in about fifteen
years. In other words, he would have
virtually got his investment for moth
ing and would still be considerably
ahead. But the stock was selling con-
siderably below par when first brooght
out, and it was above par for only a
short time during the earlier years OF
its existence. Consequently, the prof
it's of the early shareholders were
much more than the figure mentioned.
In November, 1890, when action was
brought to prevent the absorption OF
the North River Refining company by
the trust-being virtually a suit to
dissolve the trust as an illegal combi-
nation-aIthongh the stocH continued
to receive dividends at the rate OF
ten per cent year, the price of the
shares dropped to forty-eight. The
purchaser at that price in 1890, who
held his shares until the present time,
would have received eleven thousand
one hundred and eighty-seven dol
lars, or two hundred and thirty-three
per cent on the investment, in the
shape of dividends; In other words,
his principal returned to him twice
over in dozen years, with liberal
margin besides!"
