OF GLASS TRUSTS

Recent Order.
FAC TORIES INDEPENDENT
Neither of the Combinations Was Able
to Make Any Money
Last Year.

CHICAGO Feb. 3.-Local dealers in
table glass have received a notification
from the glass trust which practically
amounts to a dissolution of the comb
nation in table glass. and Chicago deal
ers declare they see in the announce
ment the downfall of the trust idea.
Through circular letter the National
Glass Company, with headquarters in
Pittsburg. which controls IS per cent of
the table glass output of the country.
has notified the trade that hereafter the
factories in the trust will be operated
independently. The National Company
was capitalized at 100000 and when
the combination was first organized five
years ago controlled twenty-one facto-
ries scattered throughout the entire
country
Broke From Trust.
The factories absorbed by the trust
gradually began to break away as indie
pendent companies came into existence.
until at the beginning OF this year the
trust was operating but six different
plants. The others were leased or sold
outright.
The main competitor Of the trust has
been the United States Glass Company,
which is also operated under the combi-
nation plan. having about ten factories
under its control. According to official
reports of the financial condition Of the
two trusts neither was able to make
any money last year.

fall, when a stringency was threatened.
An Illustration of this may be found
in the cash of one of the local banks
Several months ago it was designated
Government depository. and given
100000. This bank will now be called
on to return 10000. but will still have
$50 600 of Uncle Sans cash.

OF this amount II is understood that
the first call will be made about Feb

the Government deposits I'm all banks
This will bring'in about $50, 900, COCO This.
it is said. will be followed about two
weeks later by another call for 10 per
cent. which will bring in about $4,000, 600
additional.
These drafts upon the banks will. it
is expected. result in a temporary tight
ening of the money markets of the
country. and this effect will naturally
be felt first in New York, where the
largest deposits of Government money
are now held.
Where the Deposits Are.
From the reports of the Comptroller
OF the Currency IL is ascertained that
the Government deposits in the prin-
cipal cities at the end of last year. since
when they have not been increased to
any extent were In round figures as fol-
lows: Boston. s6.500,000: New York,

EXTRA SESSION.

The State legislature of West Vir-
ginia met on Tuesday last in extra
session pursuant to the call by Gov
ernor White.
There was no organization to be
made, that having been effected at
the regular session and both hou Uses
got down to work at once on the mat
ter OF tax reform. This que ,tion has
been tn cause of most bitter and
determined fight among the Republi-
cans for some months. Gov. White
and Secretary Of State Dawson, now
Republican nominee for governor, es-
poused the cause as planned by the
bills proposed by the State Tax Com
mission and have been leading the
radical tax reform element while the
other wing is led by Congressm an
Dayton, Judge Reese Blizzard and c.
F. Teter. 1t was seen months ago that
the party could not get together and
so a conference was called to meet in
Washington last spring and there it
was agreed to submit he matter to a
committee composed of w. P. Hub
bard, and G. c. Sturgis, radicals and
A. G. Dayton and Judge Blizzard con.
servativeS. The committee had stormy
sessions but finally agreed upon most
of the tax commission bills and drop
ping most of the features tending to-
ward tax reform i. e. the tax on coal,
gas and oil, etc. These bills.by the
compromise committee have been &C
cepted by White and Dawson and the
legislature was called in extra sessio n
with the idea of rushing the bills
through by caucus rule and make
them party measures, but as soon as
the warning elements got together the
O BILE broke out afresh and there is
NJ telling where the matter may end
The Truth is White and Dawson
have been playing politics, panderiug
t. the farm 9rs but by their compro-
mise they have shown that the whole
n ter is mere pretense.
The d -mocrats have thrown con-
sternatiou into the camp by introduc-
ing the real tax reform measures thus
giving the pretending retormers an
opportunity to give the people the
reform they have been preten ling 10
urge.

The statement in the Republican
p,atior III that Democratic tariff
has always been followed by business
adversely, and Republican tariff by
business prosperity" is receiving
good deal of attention from the news
papers of both parties. The Republi-
cans declare that the stat ment is
founded on facts, but the New York
Times shows very conclusively that
a more mendacsous ialsehood was
never uttered. The Times calls atten-
ton to the tact that since 1860, when
the Republican party first came into
power, there have been six panics. OF
these five were under Republican rule
and one while the Democrats were in
power, and that was inherited from
the preceding Republican administra-
ton.

The Repub lican state platform is a
meaningless tumble OF words that
may be read and interpreted to suit the
reader. The trainers try to fool the
voters by declaring upon the ques-
ton OF tax reform, in favor of the
measures prepared by number of
fading citizens, by inference holding
out the idea OF the tax commission
bills, but il truth meaning the COM
promise bills prepared by Stergiss,
Dayt IN, Hubbard and Blizzard, which
of course is complete abandonment
ofthe principles of tax reform as re-
commended by the commission.
