Chas. B. James. Memphis, Tenn.
 Dear Sir---When I went to your Sam atorium for treatment for the drug habit was most miserable. was 73 years old and had been using the drug for fourteen years. I had been an Odd Fellow for thirty-four years, and as the use of tho drug had so enfeebled me and impoverished mel was an inmate of tue Odd Fellows Home at Clarks- vile. Tenn. I had for a long time been anxious to secure relief from the drug habit, but on inquiry I found that most Institutions claiming to cure drug addictions were humbugs- l was told by a great many persons that I was too old to think of attempting to get relief from the terrible demon that had made my life by day most miserable and my sleep, which was accompanied by horrible visions, unrefreshing. FL nally. appealed to the superintendent of the I. O.. O. F.

 The best reason for making an article we'll is that excellence in the long run commands the market This. however. assumes the existence of com petition The concern that has mo- nopoly of any industry must feel. temptation to turn out an inferior pro duct; the world must use 1t, willing or unwilling. Free traders have al. ways contended that the existence of a practical monopoly of our markets in the hands of protected manufac- turers results in the poorer manufac- ture for the American markets than those of nations that fight for trade in the great free markets of the world, where price and quality must win It has often been charged that abandoned machinery of European mills has been replaced by appliances of an improved pattern and shipped to America, where it has been found good enough to meet the restricted competition of a pro- tected market. Whether these state- nents are correct or not, competition must make for excellence. There was once a time when the railroad rails of this country were made in mills that strenuousIy competed with each other for the railway patronage. Since the organization of the steel trust this has all been changed. While the trust does not make all the rails used In the United States, it makes most of them, and 1t imposes conditions on the mills called independent. Practically there is no competitor in the industry; ana quality seems to have dropped off. Ter rible railway accidents have followed each other during the past year with such frequency that travel has become a menace in this nation of travellers. There seems every reason to believe that many accidents have resulted from the turning out of inferior rails by the concerns freed from the pres sure oS competition. For generations our tariff has enabled the steelma kers to rob us. It seems that they now ex- tend their license from robbery to murder.

many more, it is estimated, by the

sent a total cost of over s15.o00.e00.
They are now worth s7.oo0,ooo.
THE rich mans panic in Wall
street has made all the trouble an
automobile dealer is quoted as saying.
as he exhibited several letters and tel
grams cancelling orders for machines.
Every dealer in high priced ma
chimes, Americans or imported, has
stories to tell Of orders cancelled by
New Workers. who. until recently,
were generally supposed to be rich
enough to afford any luxury. Some
of the stories are pathetic. The aver
age rich New Yorker has an eXpen-
