Trusts and Prices.

From the New York Journal q Commerce.
The experience Of the last ten years has
not lessened the truth of the statement
that combination has been frequently fol-
lowed by an advance in the price of
product. and that there is nothing upon
the record which indicates that the COM
bination itself effects any reduction in the
price to the consumer. In fact, there is
no evidence that the consumer is consid-
cred at all with reference TO any share
in the profit all elements Of economy
being credited either to the upbuilding OF
the earning capacity or to the capital
stock.

There is a very pretty story going the
rounds of the press about a man who has
saved $4,000 IN twenty-seven years, reared
a family of thirteen children. and still
never made more than 81 per day. AS the
total sum OF money received during the
twenty-seven years foots up less than

Congressional Life Insurance.


From the Boston Transcript.
Five thousand dollars each was yester-
day voted to the families OF the six men,
bers Of Congress who have died in office
during the year. Hereafter $500 viii be
paid. since years salary constitutes the
standard. Such a sum is often voted by
Congress in the case Of the death OF en-
ployes at the Capitol as well. Congress
thus carries a life insurance for the ben

of assistants to the extent of one years
