All trusts are bad trusts, because the
very object of every trust is to restrain
trade, and thereby extort unfair prices
from the consumers of trust-made
goods. One might as well talk ABOUT
good thieves as good trusts.

Complains About the Carriage OF the Nails
on the American line.

To TIE EDITOR OF THE SUN- Sir: Crossing
recently on one of the American Line boats
from New York was much struck b the very
poor facilities extended to the Government
for the dist ributiOn of the mails in the sea
post Office. For the amount Of money which
is annually pal to this ne for the carriag e
of the mails some $4,000. | believe-one
would suppose that there would he a COM
Portable and convenient place furnished TO
the men in charge of the mails, 80 thu the
asserting on board ship could he done with
the utmost despatch.
The contrary is the case. The rooms
allotted TO the sea post Office are very small
and look as if nothing has ever been done to
them since the h ats have been in the service.
When one considers the enormous quantity
Of mail matter to be handled in n week by
the two clerks, amounting on some voyages
10 as many as 200 sacks though this is an
exceptionally large number Il would seem
as il the interests of the Government should

officials of the American Line.
The distribution or 100 sacks
means that the Gle ks have to start work

do any more. If more clerks were assigned
they would he Of no help because there is
no room for them TO work. One of the British
sea post Office clerks told me that their
Post ONCE Department would not stand for
a minute such NretChed accommodations.
This is not tn only fault of the American
Line. The mails by the Cunard boats Cam

are invariably delivered in Paris a week
from the folio wing sunday morning. while
the mails by the American boats are never
delivered before Monday.
The american boats can, II they wish,
deliver the mails here Sunday morning and
II is only their penuriousness in the matter
of coal thai prevents them. for the boats are
as good as ever and can give the Cunsrd boats
n good run for their money. as they used TO.

Sc rapid In the extension of existing troll
ley lines and the construction of new lines
that statistics OF mileage are out OF date
before they can be compiled and published.
The day OF h trolley. long distance as well
as short distance. is upon VA.
An article in the Metropolitan Magazine
for July states that there are already 5000
miles Of trolley line in Ohio. An article in
Appieton's Magazine for July says that in
indiana 1000 miles Of track are now in
operation; $50 miles are building and will
be placed in operation early this year;
another 1000 miles are projected; every
steam railroad out of indianapolis has been
paralleled; more than $50. 600 900 has been
actually invested in these properties; pas
sengers are carried at their convenience in
clean and comfortable cars and for one-half
the former fares" A similar story might
be told Of many other sections.
The trolley line is no longer merely an
Improvement on the horse car for use in
cities and their immediate environment.
A number of hundred mile runs are posi-
BILE to-day, and thousand mile trips will
soon be made. Experience thus far
seems to have proved beyond any question
that trolley lines car carry passengers and

probably in a majority. the cost Of the trip
is of greater consideration to the traveller
than is the time required for il, assuming
. fair equality of physical comfort. II a
steam railroad trip of a hundred miles ia
made in two hours at a cost of 81 and the
same trip can be made by trolley in three
and a half hours for Sl.5O there will be
plenty Of passengers for the trolley.
The development of this system of trans
p~ortation makes IL even probable that
before many years our railways will be used
mainly for long distance travel and heavy
or bulky freight. while the trolley will he
generally used for all other business. 1t is
not possible to say just what may happen
around New York city. where conditions
are somew hat peculiar. SO far as the coun-
try at large is concerned there can be little
doubt that trolley lines are destined TO effect
a revolution in passenger transportation
and also to exert an important influence in
the field of parcel freight.

Tho Mortality of Shoe Leather.

Census bulletin No. II reports the
manufacture of 2i2, 900, 900 pairs of boots,
shoes and slippers in the United States
during the year l9O5. This is an increase
Of Ill per tent. in five years. The out
put OF boots and shoes was divided as
follows: For men, S3,434 1872 pairs; for
women, Q 9,47O,S7 pairs; for boys and
girls, 90, 1874, 203 pairs. The slipper bust
ness shows a production of 1915, 1914
pairs for women, misses and children
and only 4,4O3,O97 pairs for "men, boys
and youths" The value Of the entire
product is given as $500, 1O7, ass.
The State of Massachusetts alone pro-
duced IS per cent. Of the entire output.
The increase in the business in that
on a basis of value. Brockton is the
banner shoe town Of the country, with
a production valued at $50, 900, 900 for the
year 1905. Its rivals come in the follow
ing order: Lynn, st. Louis, H%averhill,
New York city, Cincinnati, Rochester.
Thirteen cities produced practically me-
half of the entire output. The industry
gives employment to about 100, 900 peo-
pie and pays them in wages and salaries
q little more than SIS 900, 900 a year.
This does not include stores with their
clerks and statesmen. The business done
in 1905 was double that of 1880.
One of the interesting features Of this
industry is the development of the ex-
port trade. During the fiscal year 1895
we exported S22, 4l2 pairs of shoes of a
total value of 81, 0iO, 22S. The business
Of the current fiscal year will probably
exceed 5000, 900 pairs of a total value Of
about $4,000, 900. Our exports reached
81 ,OO0, 900 for the first time in 1895. Since
then the increase has been rapid. Yet
even now only ? per cent. of our output
is sold abroad.
Dividing total production by popula-
ton it appears that the average destruc-
ton of shoe leather in this country is
nearly three pairs a year for every per-
son, man, woman or child.
