ONE THOUSAND PER CENT
PROFIT

Economists of the patriotic and salts
fed kind have demonstrated that from
three to five per cent is the average
earning capacity of investments in legiti-
mate business.
Standard oil officials admit, and with
la broad grin, that the profit of their con-
Germ i'll many cases reached the stupen-
dous figure of one thousand per cent per
year!
John d. Rockefeller claims to be a
Christian, and in the name of the Mas
ter has imported a preacher
Yet Rockefeller loots profit for his
oil company that pays him fifteen mil
lion dollars a year, or quite twentyone
dollars each minute
How many worthy. real Christian
men, who hear home preachers, do you
know who work month for very little
more than the oil king receives each
minute for doing nothing
Wimen there are, and here with us,
who are as old as Rockefeller, and in
the sight OF God Rockefeller's equal
who toll like slaves for more than a
month for Rockefeller's momentary
wage.
Children, with pathetic, aged faces,
distorted and Shrunken limbs, put in ten
twelve and fourteen hours a day for two
months to earn what Rockefeller re
ceives each moment of time for eating
drinking and sleeping!
What wonderful history trust disclos-
ures write!
And there are those who tell us there
are good trusts!

THE STORY.


III AIRED nursed within the heart Is
III a slow poison which at last per.
meates all the life, destroying the bet.
ter impulses and giving rein to the evil
passions.
So It was with Absalom, the hand.
some and prepossessing son Of King
David. For nearly two years now
there had ranked in his heart the evil
passions which had been aroused when
his beautiful sister lamar had poured
into his sympathetic ear the story of
her ]grievous wrongs at the hands of
her half.brother, Amnon, and certain
1t is that time had not softened his
anger, or weakened his murderous re.
solve.
Day after day he lad fed the fame
of his hatred, and day after day he
had plotted and schemed how he might
compass the destruction of Amnon
without danger to himself.
Secretly, Absalom rejoiced that he
had found occasion against Amnon,
for with him out of the way Absalom
would be heir to the throne Of David.
From his earliest boyhOOd he could re-
call how his mother had encouraged
him in the hope that some day he
should be heir to the kingdom. His
grandfather Talmai was king oyer
Geshur, and why should not he be king
over Israel, and thus unite two strong
kingdoms? AbsalOm's mother looked
with contempt upon Ahinoam, mother
Of Amnon, for she had no claim to royaI
birth, while she, Maacah, was daughte!
OF the king Of Geshur. And this con
tempt which she had felt for Ahinoan
she had instilled into the heart OF hel
son Absalom, so that he had come tt
feel that her son Amnon was quite be
meath him. This feeling had grown
with the years and there was no pleas
ant intercourse between the half bro
Tiers, and as Absalom came to man
hoods estate and the pride and ambi
ton took complete possession OF hi
heart, there grew upon him the feel
Ing that somehow Amnon stood In hi
way TO success; that be was dom
him an injustice.
He had been told too often OF tn
charms OF his own person not to b

Equally WeIuhty.

The cry of The tarih Is the mother
Of the trusts" takes the place OF the
old Democratic cry Of THE tariif is a
tax" and Is Just about as weighty an
argument. Probably one OF the most
gigantic trusts In this country to-day
is the sugar trust and 1t was formed
when the Wilson German tart. law "a
free-tTade measured was in force.
True, removal Of the tariff duties on
fOreign-made goods would Kill the
trusts in this country, but how? Amer.
lean manufacturers would IN time be
forced out Of business entirely, and
there would be nothing Of which to
form trusts, Trust regulation Is the
only remedy for bad trusts, and the
Roosevelt administration has made a
most excellent start in that direction,
and the end is not yet.-Timn (o.)

Says the Norfolk Virginia.Pilot:
The Dineley bill does more plum.
dering In a day than a thousand de.
batable funds yielded in a decade. or
oil schemes of robbery that by law Is
the most THOROUGH and comprehensive.
The pirates of 1arifa had a Glimmer.
ing idea Of the principle. but they did
o have 10000, 900 OF subjective vic.
toms Of people on whom to wreak its
practice"
This is in the good old free trade
key with which a few years ago the
country was familiar. Protection is
robbery. Cut 1t out, therefore. Free
the people from the system-not by
degrees, but Immediately. Why long.
er tolerate an abuse so shameless and
offensive? Make 1t go-not on any
order OF going, but at ice
We shall not see the Democratic
party make any such p~ronouncement
next year. A comparatively recent ex-
perience taught 1t a lesson it will
not soon forget. Memories of 1S92.34
are too fresh. The people recall the
promises of the last Cleveland cam.
paign, when protection was challenged
to a fight to the death, and then the
performance Of a Democratic con.
gress-a body which many of the pro,
tected industries dominated. There
never was a more ignominious sur.
render. Mr.. Cleveland pronounced it
perfdious and dishonorable, but Mr..
German and others who engineered
It declared that he had consented to
the work.
But the record In the main and IN
the essentials is unchallenged and un
clIallengable. The Democracy won
on its platform and with a candidate
consenting to it, yet violated its prom.
ises. Protection was not only not
destroyed, but actually coddled. The
sugar trust had bought its schedule
with a campaign contribution, and got
the goods. The bill was a botch, but
this grew u of the efforts to hunt
with the hounds and hold with the
hare. 1t was another instance OF
the failure OF bunco-a word which
Mr.. Bryan has applied to the whole Of
