The directors of that hideous old
octopus, the Standard Oil Trust, have
published a pamphlet in which they
declare the trusts to be absolutely in
nocent of wrong-Going. They further
declare 1t has been 'manifestly difficult
to get fair hearing before the public
or liz a large portion of the press, the
latter, to its great harm, swayed alike
by socialistic cutlery from below and
political pressure from above" 1t is
to be noted, however, that some Repub-
lican papers have published matter de-
Tending the trust, with the earmarks
of the octopus, and perhaps accompa-
MED with the usual honorarium of one
dollar line that the trust can so we'll
afford TO pay. As the papers that have
published the octopus articles are Re
publican in sympathy, if not the organs
Of the G. o. p, no doubt many of their
Republican readers have taken for
granted much that they say This ex-
posure of trust methods Of fooling the
public should induce Democrats to
stick to their own newspapers that can
not be bought or bullied into defending
trusts and corporations in their plum
dering of a suffering people.

mend federal remedies which would
not interfere with state remedies; but
1t Is the railroad, not the public, that
demands the removal of authority to
Washington. The Democrats can be
depended upon to oppose with all their
might this movement toward &entrali-
cation. Ii any Democrat wavers, his
constituents should look into his busi-
ness relations and see whether he is
under obligations to the railroads. 1t
is fortunate that the people have had
an object lesson so recently. The fed
eral law stopped rebates and passes,
but the railroads make more money
than they did before The states, on
the other hand, gave the people a re-
duction in rates, and those who are
receiving the benefit of these reduc-
tons will be slow to surrender the ad-
vantage thus far gained
Later, Mr. Bryan, in an interview at
lincoln, replied to Secretary Taft's Co
lumbus speech, which he said was
disappointment to those who ex-
pected "a clear bugle note In favor of
reform" On the contrary, Bryan char
acterizes Taft's speech as ''straddle."
For instance, on the railroad question
he notes that Taft does not advocate
ascertaining the value of the roads. Be-
sides this. he says Taft advocates no
new legislation as to the trusts and takes

Thousands Of Trees Planted.

Since the establishment of Arbor
Day in 1889 there have been planted
on the school grounds of the State of
New York a total of 318,920 trees.
There are more than 10000 school
commissioner districts in the State.
This would give more than thirty trees
to every district If they were proper
tionately distributed.
Since the establishment of Arbor
Day practically every district has at
one time or another reported the plant.
ing of some trees But inquiry recent.
ly addressed to the school commission
ers revealed the fact that there are
more than 1000 districts in the State
with absolutely no trees or shrubs on
their school grounds and many Others
with only few struggling trees.
Further than that, says Arbor Day,
a very small per cent of the whole
number of districts give any sort of
attention to the care of their grounds.
Apparently there is more need for
the care of trees and shrubs than there
is for actual planting.

Tariff Reform.

Judging the future by the past, it rs
almost impossible to expect tariff re-
form from the Republicans The Roose-
Welt wing of the party shows but little
more intention Of taking from the
trusts their foster mother than the
most ardent standpatter. If the evils
Of protecting trusts with the tariff
are so great. why should the revision
of the tariff be again postponed for,
at least, two years? Congress viii,
meet at the beginning Of next Deem
Der, and even In a presidential year
there is no good reason why it cannot
spare the time until the conventions
meet in June or July, 1907, to pass a
bill that would give our people a share
Of the bargain prices which the trusts
now confine to foreigners. There is
but litde legislation on other issues
that is imperative, and the Ways and
Means Committee win have compare
lively nothing to do, unless they are
put to work at compiling a tariff bill.
Under the rules Of the House, which
the majority Is certain to adopt, the
Republicans can limit debate to suit
themselves. So the Democrats will be
powerless to hinder quick action if
they wanted to.
The Wall street panic in trust stocks
could hardly be more severe If all the

as all apples must be to keep. be-
cause the largest apples don't keep
so we'll Commonly the apples stored
are the medium sized and the smaller
apples, and so the apples we have
to offer in midsummer are not, as they
are in winter, the pick of all the APP
pies.
And then there is less demand fer
apples in midsummer when Wa have
so many other fruits then cesns to
perfection and which people then pre-
fer. And apples are not so good in
summer as they are in winter. They
keep well in cold storage, but they
soften and discolor and deteriorate
rapidly when taken out of it. We
take out of storage daily only such
apples as we require for the days
sale. OF the apples we sell at this
season, many go out OF town 10 our
customers country houses.
"Of course, speaking generally, ap-
pies of all the grades stored are higher
in prices in summer, it may be much
higher than they are in winter, because
lit costs money to store them and be
cause of the possible lass on them
when they are taken out of storage
So in summer apples cost the most
to the general consumer, but for the
reasons that have stated We get our
highest prices for apples in winter

Fancy Prices for Apples.

Buying apples by the dozen, 81 or
more for twelve of them, is COM
monplace to-day. Twenty years ago
it was proceeding seldom heard Of,
and even ten years ago 1t was consid-
cred a transaction in finance so high
that only those who found their ne
cesslties among the luxurles thought
of being purchaser at such terms,
says the Boston Transcript And 1t Is
not one kind alone that has this price

or possibly more-that bring this fig

In England much interest has been
shown of late by the army and navy
authorities in a new method Of pre-
serving -four by means of compression.
With hydraulic pressure apparatus the
-four is squeezed into the form of
bricks, and experiments are reported TO
have shown that the pressure destroys
all forms Of larva life. thus preserving
the -four from the ravages Of insects,
while it is equally secure from mold.
Three hundred pounds of compressed

pounds Of flour In the ordinary state.
The car shortage problem will be
solved In great measure when some
way is discovered to properly compress
the cotton bale as it leaves the gia. The
density Of the American cotton bale Is
% pounds per cubic foot, the Egyptian,
81 pounds, and the East Indian bale, "a
pounds. The difficulty of this is owing
to the fact that the ginning is done
upon plantations, where there is but
limited amount of power available. If
this compression could be accomplished
at the point of production 1t is undoubt-
eddy true that the number of cars re-
quired to handle the crop would be very

smallest villages, is described as being

Alaska Producinn Wealth.

Alaska is an interesting region. In
area she is twice as large as Texas,
with California thrown in, but her
resident white population numbers
only about $4,000, though in summer
she has from 10000 to 10000 more
whites.
In fur, fish and minerals, she is rich.
Since her annexation she has furnish

fish and $4,000 600 of minerals, chief.

gold, which was 100000 in 1904,
was s16. 100000 in 1905, and will be
fully s26,000.000 in 1906.
In gold production Alaska has far
surpassed the Klondike and the rest
of the Canadian region. A few years
ago the Klondike and general Cana
dian country produced from $1,000, 900
to S25,00000O of gold a year, but this
had shrunk to s1O.000,O00 in 1905, and

protection these industrial corporations
now enjoy should be ruthlessly cut off
and the slump in business, which in
spite of the optimistic statements of
the standpatters, has already begun,
shows that the boosted prosperity fs
not produced by so-called protection.
There is no doubt that the people would
welcome relief, If the Republican poll
tieians will grant 1t to them.
Will the administration surrender to
Speaker Cannon and his tariff pro-
tected trust friends, as 1t has for the
past three years, or will President
Roosevelt show his independence Of
"a few ruthless and determined men
whose wealth makes them particularly
formidable, because they hide behind
the breastworks OF corporate organi-
Zations?" That latest description by
the President of the trust corporations
was followed by the declaration in his
Provincetown speech that no such sinis-
eminent" Yet some occult influence
compelled the President to cut out Of
his message to Congress three years
ago, and never to include it in later
messages, a tariff revision recommen-
dation.
It is impossible to believe that the
bold and strenuous Roosevelt Is afraid
to tackle the trust octopii-at least the
bad trusts and the good trusts, If there
are any such, cannot be plundering the
people by being protected in so doing
iIy the tariff schedules, or they would
not be cited by the President as being
good trusts" That the trust plumber
ing is going on apace, every one knows
who takes account of the enormous In
crease In the cost of living since the
present tariff was concocted by the
trust representatives and the Repub-
lican leaders in 1897 1t Is possible,
of course, that the necessity of the
Republican party for trust campaign
contributions is the cause of the con-
slant procratsination, especially since
the railroad element of Wall street
will not be very liberal contributors,
and the law that Senator Tlllman
forced the Republicans to pass, pro-
hibiting contributions by national
banks, may also cut off some large
sums from that source. To cut off the
trust contributions by revising the
tariff which protects the corporations,
Just before election, Is perhaps a great
er risk than even President Roosevelt
Is inclined to take. For the Republl-
can campaign managers. without a

hardly necessary TO point a moral to
those voters who are suffering from

ton and convictions favor a tariff for

MYSTERY OF PEARL GROWTH.
Ridges That Are Signs of Pearls
Some Abandoned Theories

Ridges That Are Signs of Pearls
Some Abandoned Theories.
The real mother of pearl never has
been found, for nobody knows how
pearls are born and made. The eyi-
dence that they can be produced by
inserting some foreign body into the
mussel is doubtful, says the Chicago
Tribune, though Linnaeus, the Swed-
Ssh naturalist, is said to have owed
much OF his fame to tho fact that he
could produce pearls by inserting
grains of sand between the valves of
the fresh water mussels which are
| to be found in continental rivers.
Artificial pearl crosses are reported
from China as having been obtained
by placing thin metal cross within
the body of a pearl oyster and allow
+ ing it to stay there till 1T became
covered with nacreous matter. Prof
Herdman in his researches on the
pearl mussel of Ceylon has found
THAT the pearls in these shells are
secreted to cover a parasite, usually
nematoid worm, which passes one
of its life stages within the shell, and
no doubt similar cause will be found
to account for the presence of pearls
in fresh water mussels.
The commonly accepted theory that
a single grain of sand within the man
tile is sufficient to produce pearl must
be abandoned. The expert fisherman
processes to recognize a pearl bear
ing shell from others. From the Riv-
er Sain, which is said to hold the
finest Scottish pearls, was taken re-
Gently shell with three pearls, which
was sold for $40. The shell had three
ridges running from the hinge to the
edge of the valves. Such ridges al
ways are supposed to be signs of
pearls. In the growth Of the shell
room has to be left for the pearls.
The pearl is celebrated as a treasure
of the East and the tropical seas, but
it is scarcely known as a product of
Great Britain. Pearl fishing is one
OF the industries of the United King
dom. The story of British pearls be-
gins with the earliest records of the
country. with Caesar, who carefully
compared the British pearl with the
Oriental.
