GREAT METAT TRUST
Smelling s Re-
filming CO. Controls the
Prices of Lead, Copper,
Silver and Gold.
Uncle Sam" Stopped Buying
Silver al Tfust Prices.

1t was an interesting cOinci-
dence, that the very day the Gov.
rnment instituted its suit to -,
solve the Standard 81, trust, Sc
cretar' Claw should give notice
chat the Treasury Department does
not intend to be worked by the
great metal trust, known as the
American Smelling Refining Com
pany. Since July the Govern
ment has been buying silver at
a steadily increasing price, and
since August first there has been
an advance Of from 65.44 cents
an ounce to ~ cents last week
when the Secretary of the Urea
sury announced that the Treasury
would buy no more silver at
that price, though its previous
purchases had amounted to about
200, 900 ounces a week, the silver
being used to increase the supply
Of small coinage to meet the grow
lag demands Of business.
When the American Smelling
& Refining Go. failed get its
usual order this week it began
to get anxious and finally called Oh
the Department to know what the
matter was. The Secretary said
in reply that the Treasury did not
intend to increase It's stock of
silver by paying such Il price and
intimated that the Government
did not intend to pay tribute to
any combine or trust in supply
ing the public demand for small
change. The American Refining
( Smelling Company virtually
controls the price Of silver in
this country and co operates
with four or five foreign firms to
control it IN Europe In Con
gress last spring Representative
Perkins Of New York undertook
to show that it also had say
in the price of lead, copper
and gold and though not quite
30 well known to the general
public was just such a combine
as the Standard Oil Company.

Reaches Y. S. Supreme Court.

Washington. D. G.. Nov. ia dis
pute between the Jacksonville ana
Southeastern and the Chicago, Peoria
and s.. Louis railroads has Just reached
the Supreme court. The dispute has
been in the courts since 1893. Since
then both railroad companies have been
in the hands OF receivers. The cha ICES
are that the box cars are worn out.
The Peoria road claimed that 1t paid
for the 100 box cars. but that the Jack

give them up. A master in chancery
