THE TYPEWRITER TRUST.
Mineral Point, Wis.

Tariff Protection Used For Extortion.
New Competitor Reported.
1t is said that a new $3,50O,O00 COM
pany is to compete with the typewrit-
er trust, which is known as the Union
Typewriter company The new COM
pany will claim that the trust control,
ling the output of typewriting machines
In this country has been selling for
S1OO machines which cost only about
$2S to make.
We suspect that the cost figures
might safely be put much lower than
that, but at 500 the case of exorbitant
profits is well made out. Typewriting
machines must be made in the United
States better and more cheaply than
anywhere else, for the quantity export
ed is increasing every year, amounting
in value to S6,495,756 in the year end
ing June 80, 1908 They are sent to
nearly every country on the face Of
the globe, but in greatest quantities
to the United Kingdom. Germany and
France our strongest competitors in
the making Of machinery.
Does this merciIess trust call for &C
ton by the attorney generalf Posi-
bly,, but it calls much louder for the
man with IN ax to chop down the tar
if wall giving IS per cent of "protec-
ton" to an industry which needs abso-
lutely none, which has its foreign COM
petitOrs beaten on their own ground.
What relief to legitimate business it
would be if typewriting machines
could be bought at a reasonable price,
probably less than one-third of what is
now eXaCted, The new company is
not likely to bring any permanent re-
lief. 1t will be absorbed by the trust
if its competition proves dangerous,
Indeed. 1t is probably formed for that
purpose, being controlled, according to
report, by the younger generation Of
the Ryan, Mccall, Guggenhein1 and
Crimmins families" The first step to-
ward freedom from trust extortion is
to stop encouraging it by means of the
tariff

lieve he was always thinking of some
way of proving my innocence by
means of the receipt without incrimi-
mating himself. 1t would have been in
keeping with his character. He had a
kind heart in many things, and l wish
we We're leaving him in his quiet grave
Instead of in an asylum. 1 cannot help
feeling grateful to him even now. He
gave me back my manhood and my lib
erty, even if it was he who first took
them away. Above all, he gave me
back Claire!"
There was II addition to the home
ward bound party who must not be
forgotten. This was a manservant,
with a withered arm, who grew gray
and ultimately died in Thomas Erich
sens service. His was the second
death among those passengers of the
Florentia whose fate concerns this
chronicle. Lady Starkie was the first
to go. Nicholas Harding followed in
the same year as his namesake of all
the Russias. The next and last-it
seems but the other day-was Claire,
his daughter, a loving and beloved
wife and a mother whose children
miss and mourn her daily, though most
Of them have children of their own.
But a little while ago this story
might have left them still together
the bent old man with the thoughtful
eye and many wrinkles-the white
haired, sweet faced motherly woman
Yet then their story had not been told
for there is that in it which Thoma.
Erickson nev would tell his wife. HI,
never told how they tried to cut hi
heart out with the lash. He neve:
told her how nearly they succeeded
And still, when he thinks of that, is h,
grateful to the long dead maniac t,
whom he owed so various a debt.
1t is the old mans pleasure to hea
and read Of the noble colony sprun,
~miraculously from the cruel dust an,
ashes of sixty years ago. He has new
er revisited it. In the old country h
has lived and he will die. Less fortu
nate than Claire, his lot is that harde
one of the last to so, but his life ha
been always brave, and he neithe
fears nor courts his death.

changed. While they were crossed and
for a moment at rest I could see that
there was no button IN either, but a
sharp point. 1t looked as If the affair
were a veritable duel.
I now began to notice the personnel
Of the contestants. They both appear
ed to be gentlemen. One was tall and
slender, with fair hair and eyes; the
other short and thick and very dark,
the latter evidently ten years older
than the former. But the short man
was the better fencer. besides being
wiry, and he was evidently firing the
other out. l was looking for him at
any moment to finish his adversary
when suddenly the door flew open and
q young woman, evidently a lady of
high degree, rushed in and up to the
fencers, where she stood glazing at the
short brunette, then turning a re-
%proachful glance on his younger adj
versary.
"Paul," she gasped, you're a fool!
And as for you, Mr.. LIE Gro, there is
no reason whatever for you to have
any contest with any man about me
You thought you had outwitted me
and the police in bringing your victim
to a fencing academy. M. Renard," to
! the fencing master, II am astonished
that under cover Of teaching your ar
you should permit your place to be
used for murder! Yes, murder! This
man lie Gro, I am told, was formerly
one of the best fencers in Paris. Should
I reveal this outrage you would BIZ
obliged to leave the city, Gentlemen
give me your weapons"
They We're handed to her. She ex
amined their points and threw then
on the floor. Then, putting her arm
through his whom she called Paul, sh'
walked away with him.
I tried hard to elicit an explanation
but signally failed. The affair neve
leaked out.
My own Inference was that an un
successful rival desired to take re
venge upon a successful Ne. He ha
planned the affair to take place in
fencing academy partly to escape tn
police, but rather to make the affai
appear as an ordinary trial Of skill
Perhaps after he had killed his riva

that the button on his foil had bee

Thames fishermen will tell you the
virtues of cheese paste as a bait for

also be taken with a very ripe cherry
in which a hook is artfully concealed.
Almost all fish have cannibal pro-
pensities, so that the young of their
OWL species prove an irresistible bait
for the older and larger members. This
is specially true of trout, and many
