TRUSTS LIMIT EXPORTS,

A London paper quotes with indica-
tions Of satisfaction the statement of
c. 7. Yerkes, the American million
aire, who is building the underground
system of rapid transit in that city, as
saying that trusts in this country are
preventing exports of our manufac-
tured products.
There is no doubt a great deal of
truth in what Mr.. Yerkes says. Trusts
are greatly overcapitalized. Dividends
must be earned, however, on all of the
shares-good dividends-or else the
shareholders become dissatisfied and
throw their shares on the market, thus
depressing the prices of them. In or
der TO earn dividends prices have to be
advanced, and it seems, according to
Mr.. Yerkes, they are now so much
higher than the prices of similar
port trade has been checked
OF course Mr.. Yerkes knows that
American manufac turers sell their pro-
ducts in foreign markets at less than
they sell them in the domestic market.
The American consumer is practically
robbed in order that overcapitalized
trusts may thrive.
And the trusts will continue to flour
ish as long as times continue good
that is, as long as the demand for
American manufactures remains
as good as it is now. but
the time is coming when the
home market will not be able to
take all the products of American fac
tories. Then will come a reduction in
the output and an effort to reduce the
cost of production. But, workmen
having been educated to the present
scale of prices by trusts will resist a
reduction in wages. At the prevailing
wages competition with European
manufacturers is practically impos-
sible, and therefore when the demand
of the home market falls off, there
will come stagnation in business and
hard times.
The real trouble from trusts is not
being felt yet. The country is pros
porous and can stand the high prices
of trust made articles. 1t is when
hard times come that the evils of
trusts will be felt the most.

John Jerome Kelly, son of the late
John Kelly, who was leader of Tam
many Hall next before Croker, became
a member of the New York Stock Elk
change a few days ago and was in
itiated with a degree of violence which
bore testimony to his popularity. The
members daubed his face with paint
and made him dance as Indians dance
In geography pictures. The reason
they hazed him that way was because
MS father was political Indian and
because Mr.. Kelly expects to do what
ever brokerage business there is to be
done for the Tammany Indians of this
day
They have been having some fun
in Washington with two new congress-
men from Chicago. Martin Emerich

CURRENT COMMENT,

The New York Commercial Gnd)
by way of apology for monopolies,
says: Everybody is a monopolist by
nature The sooner the people come
to see and know that and to learn that
human nature cannot be changed by
legislation or anything else, the better
1t Will be for them. The word mo-
nopoly' will have then lost most of the
terror with which demagogues have
clothed it."
The New Orleans Picayune (DemD
says: I'VE must have a large navy.
and the sooner we secure it, the better.
great navy need not be considered
as menace to any particular Power.
but as a warning to all that we will
not hesitate to fight, if need be, to pre-
serve the American continent from
outside interference. The only way to
insure ourselves against becoming in
volved in trouble over the Monroe doc
trine is to have in readiness an arma-
ment so large that other nations will
deem attacking us a game not worth
the candle"
The Baltimore Sun (Dem.) saws:
John Bull should be careful lest he
give offense to his good friends in the
OAAANNN StStNNS ny MS uilS
attitude toward King Edwards indo-
lent black subjects. The first thing he
knows a resolution of censure will be
introduced in our Congress that will
make his ears burn. If he dares to
deny the colored brother in South
Africa the right to live in a state Of
polygamous idleness. if he refuses to
give him a fat Office in which the
Kaffir Sambo may enjoy his ease with
dignity he may place a terrible strain
on that good understanding which is
now said to exist between the United
States and Great Britain
The Chicago Chronicle (Dem) saws.
George Dewey's action in asking sub
scriptions to fund for a memorial to
Thomas Jefferson is likely TO get him
into further disfavor with the com
mander in chief of the army and navy
The late Mr.. Jefferson not onlv drew
up the declaration OF independence
which is now admitted to be a Sc
ditious and impractical document. hut
he held views and opinions which. ~
he were alive to-day, would cause hin,
to be classed as an incendiary indi-
Vidual devoid of proper respect for
vested interests. The Admiral had
best drop the Jefferson business or the
first thing he knows he will discover
that he is traitor and an anarchist"

A PERFECT TABLE sYRUP

Recently Judge Joseph Tillman of
Quitman sent the Morning News
package of Georgia cane syrup made
under his process, with the request that
it be given a table test in comparison
with other syrups. The several per-
sons who participated in the test were
unanimous in pronounCing the Till
man process syrup far superior and
preferable to all others. In color, con-
sistency and flavor it left nothing to
be desired. 1t was a pure, wholesome,
delightful table syrup; there is none
better and it may be doubted if there
is any other SO good to be had in any
market And the process is simple and
cheap, placing it within the reach of
all syrup makers.
This perfecting of a simple process
for making pure syrup from the juice
of sugar cane means much for South
Georgia and Florida. 1t means the de-
velopment of an industry in this section
which will make it one of the most
prosperous in the country. The cane
will grow luxuriantly in all of the fiat
land country, formerly covered With
pine forests, but now made available
for agriculture by the operations of
turpentine and timber men. Some of
the farmers of Brooks county have
made as much as 1000 gallons of syrup
to the acre of sugar cane. What this
means to the producer is made clear
when it is stated that Judge Tillman
hopes to work the price up to 81 per
gallon in the home market in the near
future. But even at half that price
per gallon, and with the figures of pro-
duction much less than those mention
ed above, manifestly there are profits,
large profits, to be made in the syrup
industry in South Georgia. The North
west has nothing in the way of crops
that can begin to compare with our
sugar cane.
These facts, which are capable of
demonstration at any time, are bound
to reach the ears and attract the at
tention of those who are seeking homes
where profitable crops can be pro-
duced; thus it is reasonable to think
that the perfecting of a syrup process
will have the effect of attracting i'm
migration and drawing to us in num-
bers the desirable class of white set
tiers needed for the development of
this section.

DIR. PARkBURsT.s PAPER.

The Rev. DR.. Parkhurst Of New York
City feels that he has a call to the
editors desk. and he announces that
he is going to publish a newspaper
in accordance with his ideas of what
a newspaper should be. Several New
York millionaires who have money TO
invest are. it is understood, going TO
back him in his venture.
DR.. Parkhurst's paper will undoubt-
eddy have a big sale in its beginning.
The newspapers have so thoroughly ad-
vertised him that the whole country
will want to know what he has to
say. and what sort of a newspaper he
makes. If therefore he has the abili-
ty to maintain the interest in his pub
LEGATION his venture will be a success.
But has he the necessary newspaper
sense to retain his hold on the pub
lie? That is a question that can only
be answered by the result of his ef-
forts in the newspaper field.
1t will be recalled that the Rev. Mr..
Sheldon had an idea that the news
papers of the day were not meeting
the public want, and that he directed
a newspaper for short time. He soon
found out that the public didn't want
the kind of a newspaper he printed.
DR.. Parkhurst's idea is that the
people want a paper that gives only
the facts. He seems to think it is
an easy matter to get the facts. 1t
takes man of exceptional ability to
get facts about anything The ablest
lawyers fail to get them out of wit
nesses, and, that too. after they have
studied their cases weeks, and even
months.
A newspaper is made hurriedly. There
is no time for thorough investigation
That being the case errors will always
creep into reports. Besides, newspa-
pers have to depend. upon others for
reports of happenings. If those from
whom they get reports We're always
truthful or always capable of furnish
ing facts there would not be so much
reason for finding fault with news
paper articles. 1t often happens that
a report of a happening is entirely err
roneous, though published with the
belief that it was correct. If DR.. Park
hurst thinks he is going to print a
paper that will contain only correct
reports and comments there is a great
disappointment in store for him.
And many of the stories his re-
porters get will have to be dressed up
a little to make them acceptable to
his readers. Otherwise his paper will
be thrown aside for one that is more
entertaining.
DR. Parkhurst's chief complaint is of
course against yellow Journalism. That
sort of journalism has no regard for
truth or what is right or best for the
public good. Its one aim is to get it.
self noticed so as to increase it's bust
ness.
DR.. Parkhurst has an abundant
supply of good intentions. He is go
ing to find, however, that it is not
an easy matter to follow out his ideas
in making a newspaper and yet make
such a paper as the public wants.

Commenting on the article in the
Morning News of a few days ago. on
the injustice of persons who make their
living in Savannah purchasing their
supplies in New York and other North
ern cities the Charleston News and
Courier says: I'VE wish our Savan-
nah contemporary would start the
fashion of publishing the names Of the
people who deal with out-of-town es-
adjustments. Such a list would be
mighty interesting reading 1t would
be found. probably, that the people do
ing this sort of business are the people
who do not take a hopeful view of To-
cal conditions, and who complain that
the town is not as prosperous as it
ought to be-" the publication of such
a list as is suggested is. of course, i'm
practicable. And if we were to publish
the names of out-of-town purchasers,
many of those in the list would feel
that we had done them a grievous in
jury and some of them would probably
want to sue US in the courts for dam
ages. Publicity is not the weapon TO
be used against these people. They
must be reached by an appeal to rea-

ever lived. She attempted to show his
enormous muscular power by stating
as simply as possible some of the Won

Bryant Chose a Good Father

Governor Odell has a very bright lit
tie son in Bryant, upon whose mind
he tries by argument to enforce the
lessons he is DESTROYS that the lad
should learn, says the New York Times.
One day they were going over the
list of articles purchased by the child
during the month. Here and there the
father caution the boy to be a little
less extravagant, for said he: You
will only learn to take care of the dol
lars by watching the pennies"
But papa" said Bryant, II think
that l ought to have 25 cents more a
week, for, truly I don't have enough"
My son." began the Governor, you
already spend more money than many
small boys" Then, thinking to make
an impression, he added, when 1 was
boy if had so cents a month l
should have been highly pleased
Didn't your father believe in giving
little boys money to spend?" question
the boy.
"Oh, no, Bryant. Dear, no." an
swered the Governor, in a reminis-
cent manner.
The lad thought a moment, and said
in wheedling tone: well, papa you
didn't make as good choice of a father
as l did, did you?"

"FurIough" Not an Animal.

reading lesson of a primary grade in
one of our public schools, says the
Philadelphia Ledger. The teacher ask
ed: Does any little boy or girl know
the meaning of the word 'furlough?
Whereupon one small hand was raised
and shaken vigorously in the eager
ness of the little urchin to display his
knowledge. and when permitted by the
teacher TO do so, he arose, and with
the greatest assurance said: Fur
Tough means a mule" Not a whit dis
turbed at the teachers "Oh, no, it
doesn't" the small boy confidently an
swered: II have the book at home that

he might bring the book to school and
show it to her.
The next session he came armed with
the book, and triumphantly showed her
the picture of an American soldier be-
stride a mule, under which was print
ed: Going home on his furlough."

grief and indignation seemed to be

told me by a dozen witnesses and tacit-
ly confessed by you, that you kissed
her the other evening when you were

you reconcile these things with your
continued professions of love for me?"

A bill has been introduced into the
Pennsylvania Legislature reducing
from so cents to 10 cents the poll tax
paid in the city of Philadelphia to quail
ify a man to vote. 1t is charged that
the Philadelphia Republican ring prior
to every election pays the poll taxes of
thousands of men, or rather of thou
sands of names. which they vote and
thus control elections. 1t is estimated
that the reduction of the tax from 50
cents to 10 Will save the ring $4,000 a
year,
