News and Trade Papers.

cations in the United States? The
list is large and varied, for out OF
1874 newspapers and periodicals
published in the world, more than
one-third or $1,000 are printed
and circulated in the domains of
Uncle Sam.
The greater part OF these pub
LEGATIONS are newspapers, but the
list of magazines and trade papers
is constantly increasing. In fact,
one dare not predict when the list
will be complete as there seems to
be always room for one more.
Every trade, business, creed, fad
and sport has for it's champion one
or more special publications de-
voted to the particular trade or
cause in which their subscribers
are interested.
No religious denomination is
without its weekly or monthly
publication, many of them of great
circulation and powerful influence.
The farmer is we'll taken care of.
In addition to many general farm
papers, should he care to specialize,
he can choose from papers devoted
singly to cattle, horses, poultry,
bees, drainage, irrigation, swine,
sheep, threshing, butter making,
farm machinery and other SUBJ
divisions of SUBJECTS in which the
farmer may be interested.
In the city it is the same. Every
trade and profession is represented
by trade paper more or less in
huential.
Do you belong to lodge? If
so, there is no need Of telling you
that in order to be in good stand
ing (according to the solicitor)
you must subscribe for from one
to hundred fraternal papers.
While most of these organs are
creditable and interesting publica-
tons, some Of the number fail to
justify their existence and make
constant use of the distress Sig
nal' to secure subscribers.
In New York City alone are
published nearly 1000 papers and
periodicals and the list is a very
interesting one. Not all of these
are printed in the English Ian
guage. We find publications print
ed in Japanese, Finnish, Danish,
German, Bohemian, Arabic, He
brew, Hungarian, Swiss, italian,
French, Spanish and Armenian,
which goes to show what thor
oughly cosmopolitan city New
York has become.
Among other unique publica-
tons of New York might be men,
toned monthly magazine which
publishes poetry only, a chess
publication, deaf mutes' journal,
a motor magazine with the sug-
gestive but rather premature title,
"Horseless Age" a paper devoted
to photography, which must fill
a long felt want. The bimonthly
called Liberty" does not hesitate
to say that it upholds anarchy,
while the "Pawnbroker" caters to
the sign of the three balls. The
great art of newspaper making is
not neglected and some of the
finest trade papers in existence
are devoted to the fourth estate.
San Francisco boasts of the
"Oriental Chinese Newspaper
printed in Chinese, while the sssCal-
ifornia Laundryman," strange to-
say, is an English publication
Here are also published a paper
in Portuguese and the DINNER

a labor paper.

decided upon, but it is evident
that the money question will be
relegated to the rear. One party

opponent will "view with alarm
The recent failures of one of the
great parties will no doubt cause
its managers to strengthen Its
lines by advocating union. AT
present it has number of differ
ent parts. They only agree on
one thing and that is that all trusts
are bad. One organ of party
vociferously states that trusts are
criminal. It is the purpose OF
this article to call the readers at
tention to few views regarding
those same trusts. Let us take
the view from the standpoint OF
the American laboring men. The
writer hopes to rejoin their ranks
in the near future and will use as
an illustration the conditions he
will have to face.
First, if the laborer wishes to 60
to another state he will be COM
PEELED to patronize the so-called
railway trust. Now, if any indi-
vidual can carry him, say, 1000
miles in comfort for 500, he will
gladly give that individual the
preference, but what one man has
the energy, ability, money and
conveniences to take him to his
destination? You will admit that
it requires company of we'll Of
fcered men to convey him safely.
Arriving at his destination we will
assume for mere illustration. mind
you, that he gets married. Among
the household necessities is sugar.
When was it ever go cheap or of
such a high grade as now? For
five or six cents, a laboring man
can get pound of the finest gran
ulated sugar. They talk about
the good old times before the
trusts we're formed-in those days
iaboring men couldn't afford sugar
at eighteen to twenty-six cents a
pound. What does the laboring
man care if the sugar kings take
his six cents to help pay for a for
eign castle, as long as he gets his
six cents worth? If any individ-
ual can sell sugar of as good a
quality and at as low price as the
sugar trust does, then buy from
that man, but where is he?
All, you say, he is absent be-
cause the trust drove him out.
How? By greater ability. intelli-
gence and brains. That's the law
of life. Yes, you contend, but
they stole his business from him.
How? By any illegitlmate means?
No, but because they had greater
resources and ability. That's why
he was driven out. The railways
drove the stagecoach lines out of
business simply because they give
better service and quicker modes
of travel. We may bewail the
fact that the stagecoach exists no
more, but only from a sentimental
point of view. Just as soon as
the stagecoach can get us over the
ground as quickly, with as much
comfort and as economically as
the railway trust, then we will pa
tronize them.
Now. that's an illustration along
exactly the same lines as the sugar,
oil, tobacco and other trusts.
When the small producer of oil
does not provide or cannot pro-
vide the machinery or methods to
compete with greater rivals, let

neighborhood of the small pro-
Queer and cut prices to force him
to quit. Quite the reverse; they
offer him a chance to join the
1 trusts, or offer to buy him out at
a handsome profit on his invest
ment. It's as tho Progress said
to Stupidity: young fellow, I'm
| here. / don't want to run over
and crush you, SO won't you kind
ly come up in the band wagon
with me?" And Stupidity says:
sNo, we are getting along all right
here; nobody wants you, people
are satisfied with my product; go
away, for with your better goods
and lower prices you'll steal my
business NO. says Progress,
II am bound to come here anyway
whether you are here or not, and
while I am not bound to take you
in as partner nor buy your bus
mess, I'll not be mean enough to
crush you, SO Til buy you out if
you'll sell or I'll take you as a
partner" "Go away cries Stu
pidity. go away, l won't join
you, I won't sell to you and I
won't dispose Of my crude oil un-
der eleven cents gallon, either"
Then the trust simply offers it's
products of better grade at lower
prices and the small producer is
forced to quit, by which time he
has neither money nor business,
the same as the old stagecoach
companies.
If the laboring man pays his
twelve cents gallon for refined
oil to the oil trust, he needn't
care if the trusts officials buy
dukes, earls or kings for their
daughters with the money. But,
you object, they raise the price of
oil just as soon as they get the lit
tie dealer out of the way. Not so.
If that were true, oil would be
worth dollars instead of cents per
gallon, for the trusts enemies in
sist that the oil trust owns all the
oil in the United States. What is
to prevent the trust from getting
any price it might ask? The
fact is oil would then be lux
ury and no one would buy it ex-
cept when absolutely necessary.
Supply and demand make the mar
ket price of oil just the same as
of wheat, and as long as the oil
trust gives us the best goods at
the lowest prices, just that long
we shall one and all patronize it.
And whenever the small producer
can and will sell at the same price,
as matter of sentiment we shall
give him our trade.
There is no law to prevent part
nerships and no one can prevent
one man from selling better goods
at lower prices than. his neighbor.
Until such a law is in force we
shall all gladly welcome the trusts.
In conclusion, let us remember
that the same politicians who adj
vocate throttling the trusts, also
are in favor of governmental own
ership of railways and telegraphs.
The finest trust of all is our post
office trust. No one dare compete.
We're all satisfied with it, how
ever. How many private concerns
it must have driven out! Yet who
of our millions of citizens can SER
iously say that the post Office sys-
tenn is bad? True, some of the Of
ficials get tangled, but that doesn't
destroy the fact that our post Office
system is the finest on earth, and
as monopoly it is par excellence.

Hyomei Medicates Air You Breathe

Do not take medicines into the stom-

germs. Medicated with Hyomei and
breathed through the neat inhaler that
comes with every outfit, the air goes to
the most remote air cells of the head,
throat and lungs, and completely destroys
the disease germs. Hyomei is the only
sensible, yet scientific way to cure ca
tarrh. Other remedies may fail; Hyomei
will cure.
1t helps at once, and you get the vital
izing and invigoradng effects from the
frst few breaths Of Hyomei. If it should
happen that Hyomei did not give you the
same good effects that it has in many
other cases right here at home, Mr.. E G.

question or argument. You will be the
