the yearly income of the glassblowers
is not more than half what their per
diem rate is. The independent win
dow glass factories are being run by
glassblowers who are not members of
the labor organization, which claims
TO he the regular one, but compose
another organization between which
and the regular body there is feud
of long standing.
The citizen who has to buy window
glass is, it will be seen, held mp by the
trust for all the market will bear, Just
enough being charged to prevent the
importation of foreign made glass.
The profits are enormous and would
be much greater if the demand was
large enough to keep all the factories
running fun time. 1t is almost i'm
possible to arrive at the present
wholesale price of window glass, as
the independent and also the trust
will both make special discounts for
a carload order. but the price is some
where between $3.50 and 81 a box.
Before the Dingley tariff was enacted
in 1897 the price rarely exceeded So.
From January to April, 1890. it was
but Sligo. Immediately the extra duty
granted trusts came into effect in
1897 the price advanced to $2.39. and
in 1901 reached S4.56. If the window
glass trust was compelled to compete
with the world the price of window
glass would fall to the price il sold
for in other countries, with freight.
profit and expenses added. The
freight and other expenses of import
ing would give quite a large margin
of profit to the trust, and yet the
price which the people would pay
would be reasonable.
There is no schedule of the Dingley
tariff law that robs the consumer
more than the tax on window glass
and every home in the land is a con-
slant contributor to the legalized eX-
tortion that the law gives the trusts

Writing on the subject of interna-
tiOnal yacht races in London Truth,
Henry Labouchere says: II imagine
there are good many Englanders,
big and little, who feel with me that it
is desirable that we should produce
something entirely different in the
shape of yacht before any more at
tempts are made to recover the Ameri-
cas- cup. If we could only win one
or two races out of five now and again
one would look at these contests with
different spirit. but TO go on build
ing yachts and sending them across
the Atlantic year after year for half
century and never win a single race
all the time seems rather humiliating.
If / were a millionaire and going to
embark on this enterprise, | should
endeavor to purchase at any price one
of the successful American yachts of
the last few years. build one on the
same lines, and give my skipper a
year or two's training in American
waters before I Challenged

APureative Pleasure.

If you ever took DeWitt's Little
Early Risers for biliousness or con-
stipation you know what a purgative
pleasure is. These famous little pills
cleanse the liver and rid the system
of all bile without producing unpleas-
ant effects. They do not grippe, sicken
or weaken, but give tone and strength
to the tissues and organs involved.
w. H. Howell, of Houston, Texas,
says: 'No better pill can be used
than Little Early Risers for constipa-
ton, sick headache, etc."

Quoted by the slum workers they
were much impressed with the words
of prayer offered by a ragged and
unlettered man in the congregation.
The petition is worth printing: 81

here that they may see and know
what is being done here, so that they
will know where to place their money
to save thirsting. struggling souls. o.
God, send us the men and women who
are wasting money where it does no
one any good" Here is a suggestion
for rich men who are anxious to get
rid of their wealth before the day of
their final summons comes.

The window Glass Tax.

Window glass is a necessity in all
northern ATTITUDES. and yet the people
of the United States support the pol
icy of high tariff that prevents COM
petition in that necessary article. The
duty on window glass was increased
nearly 100 per cent by the passage of
the Dingley bill and was intended to
prohibit the importation of glass
manufactured in foreign countries.
Having procured this monopoly of
window glass the combine that con-
trols the manufacture of it has doub-
led the price and the market is much
over-supplied. Instead of reducing the
price. the trust shuts down the fac
tories. and no window glass has been
manufactured by the trust since last
spring and there is still large stock
on hand that is awaiting a market
The glassblowers are therefore idle.
and. having formed a trust of their
own to control wages and restrict
the number of workingmen and en-
tered into a combination with the
window glass trust not to furnish
glassblowers for independent or rival
factories. they have cut off all avenue
of employment until the trust can
start the fires again.
This is protection run mad to the
undoin" of the American people
The window glass trust is protected
by the tariff of 60 to 100 per cent and
is charging double what its products
are worth. The labor trust is paid
enormous wages, when employed, but
that is not more than half the time, so

The Independent packers are form
ing an organization to fight the meat
trust. OF course this means that the
meat trust will have to buy these fell
lows out. Then the price of meat will
be increased until the purchase price
has been raised. Some of the papers
suggest as a remedy to this that the
people eat less meat. Bless you! that
is what they have been doing. They
have been eating less meat. but they
have not been paying out less money.

Encourage immigration.

The Rock Island System is
making an effort to encourage
immigration into Oklahoma, as
well as to interest capitalists and
business and professional men in
the territory.
In this undertaking it should
have the active cooperation Of
every resident, for this reason:
the more people there are in Ok
lahoma, the higher the price Of
land will be and the greater will
be the prosperity of every man
and woman in it.
The plan which will be followed
is to publish, in Eastern farm
journals, letters from farmers
and business men who have made
money by coming TO Oklahoma.
Letters should go into details to
the extent Of stating how much
money the writer had when he
arrived, what he did, what sue
cess he has met with and what he
thinks of that portion of Okla
homa in which he is located. In
order to prepare such a letter, it
is not necessary that the writer
should possess special qualifica-
tons as a literary man. On the
contrary, a plain straightforward
statement of facts is of much
greater value than llorid des-
criptions of climatic and other
advantages.
Photographs, not Of persons,
but of cattle, feed lots, growing
crops, harvesting operations, etc,
can be used to advantage.
Letters are desired not only
from farmers and farmers wives,
but also from merchants, school
teachers, clergymen-from every
one, in brief who has "A story to
tell and knows how to tell it.

1t is TO be hoped that the SUI
preme court of the United States
will uphold Judge Thayer's de-
cision in the Northern Securities
case in regard to the consolida-
ton of the Northern Pacific and
Great Northern Railways to
throttle competition in the way of
fooling of profits that would re-
strain trade. We have no OBJ
lection to railroads making legal
and fair profits in their business,
but the unwholesome merging
scenes look to US as a wholesale
plan to stifle a majority of the
business interests i'm this country &.
We will look to the decision of
the higher court with no small
degree of anxiety. If it upholds
Judge Thayer's decision, it will
stimulate legitimate trade, then
commerce will be more prosper
Gus and legitimate extention will
be encouraged.
