in the last 10 years. In the same
period the wages of unskilled la
borers, who are not assisted in
obtaining advances in pay by la.
bor' unions, have, in many in.
stances. increased less than Is
Iper cent.
Salaries of many men and WON.
en- doing light work, and of most
people who are employed in of.
fices. have not increased at all
in the past 10 years.
What has caused this unsatis.
factory state of things?
The explanation for the in.
crease in prices is probably that
no single factor like gold produc.
ton is responsible. There are 9
large number of circumstances
contributing to the advances. II
would appear that the improve.

GROWING TENDENCY OF THE
GREAT TRUSTS TO ADVANCE
THE COSTS of the raw materials
and goods which they control are
factors.
No country In the world Is
so largely in the hands of
trusts and other combinations
of producers, manufacturers
and transportation corpora
tiOns as the United States,
and in no other country i'm
the world have prices and the
cost of living advanced so
much as in America.
Trusts control the products of
the farms, the mines, the mills.
the public utilities of the large
cities, the banks, the shipping
companies and railroads. They,
to large extent, work in unison
with each other. and are always
striving to get the last cent from
the public that patronizes their
business concerns.
Financial reports published by
some of the larger trusts plainly
illustrate that ut is an ill wind
that blows nobody good"
While the people are suffering
from the high prices of the neces-
stiles of life the trusts are in
creasing their operations in all
directions, and are earning great
err profits every year.
Statistics relating to the bust
ness operations CT United States
Steel, Standard Oil, the tobacco,
dry goods. fruit and other trusts.
as well as the express and rail-
road corporations during the past
six years, show that their accumu-
lated SURPRISES have been i'm
mense. Last year was one of the
most prosperous they experienced.
1t may truly be said that what
the people have lost the trusts
have gained by the increase in
commodity prices.
Many causes appear to have
contributed to the rising prices.
The trusts take unfair advantage
of conditions, and by securing
high tariffs. by rebating, monop-
olizing, combining and controII-
Ing the handling Of raw products,
the manufacturing industries, the
banks, retail stores and the
transportation sytems secure un-
reasonable profits.
BY these means they impose
upon the helplessnes of the weak.

council or the board, but they evil
IDENTIFY feel cheap now. In their
eagerness to create and keep up
strife, they hoped the contract would
not be awarded at all, and they had
no patience with efforts to save the
taxpayers a considerable sum of
money.
So stunned were they when the
contract was let. that they barely
had life enough left to publish few
lines about it. 1t would not he at
all surprising to hear them shout
that the council had bought the wa
ter board. While they are crying
themselves hoarse in the matter, the
people are shaking hands with thenl-
selves over the fact that the solution
of the question is all that the city
could desire.

Rainbow Chnscrs.

Some of the Democratic newspa-
pers in this section are again putting
forth their same old claims that
this is a Democratic year" and
that the country, therefore, will go
Democratic at the fall election.
That is about as far as they can
go. They declare the Democrats will
be successful. They do not know
how or by what means or for what
purpose and they make the sweeping
statement apparently from force Of
habit.
Recently the Washington Herald
remarked that Gle is a mighty pes.
simistic Democrat who cannot 60 out

the White House at one end and the
Capitol at the other" and this r.,

rainbows, a recollection all should

mind and what he said about some
OF the Democratic candidates did
not fall on certain Democratic ears
with good grace. For instance. DR..
Holt declared that the Democratic
nominee in this district for Congress
was a corporate tool. 1t would not
need an eye witness to prove that
such a remark as that did not please
at least a part Of the local Democ-
racy. Under the circumstances, It
is not hard to understand why a
goodiy portion of the Democratic
gang was not there shouting them-
selves hoarse. There are some things
that even they do not like to hear.

What the Parkersburg Dispatch
News says in connection with the
Forthcoming address OF the Demo.
cratic state committee will doubtless
prove true. judging from the history
,of such addresses. The Dispatch.
News forecasts the probable effect
on Republicans generally and it is
pleasing sight to see the Dispatch
News lining up SO nicely at last for
the Republican party. It gives
strong signs OF giving undivided sup
port hereafter to the Republican
party and its following will doubt-
less take the cue. That newspaper
says,
Conditions for the Republicans in
this state, while never dangerous TO
the election of the ticket, have not
been as good as could have been de-
sired for the large majorities that
should be given, but there are most
hopeful signs that every impeachment
to immense majorities will soon be
removed 1t is announced that with
in the next few days a Democratic
committee will publish an address to
the citizens of the state. This is all
Republicans will need. 1t is most
certain to solidlfy every element in
the party.
Democratic speeches and ad-
dresses are just what the Republi-
can do not like. Whatever they
may be. they are Democratic, and it
is because the voters do not like De-
mocracy that they are Republicans.
Besides the Democrats have always
possessed an especial aptitude for
stating Democratic principles in a
very distasteful way to the Republic
cans.
LAS soon as the address is publish
ed we may feel certain that Repub-
licans will. as they should, stop
fighting among themselves and so to
fighting the Democrats. 1t will most
certainly be agreeable to the Repub-
llcans for this Democratic address to
he published as soon as possible"
The Dispach-News might have add
ed truthfully that the reason the
voters are Republicans is because
they believe in tho political party,
whose principles and rule have made
the country great. The Parkersburs
newspaper did not go quite far
enough in telling why the voters are
Republicans. 1t is not because they
do not like Democracy, although
they do not, but because they like
Just what has been stated in refer
ence to principles and rule.

bring to mind when they read ofstho
fiattering predictions now being
made by Democratic newspapers
hereabouts. Says the American:
''oh. yes; the game OF rainbow
chasing Is one of the perennial Joys
of Democratic prophets and fore
casters. Even in of years the hopes
concerning what is going to happen
when the one year swings in blossom
out as go-geously as a garden Of
hollyhocks. There is one rule which
the Democratic boomers never for
get to apply whenever a campaign
begins to warm up. 1T is to claim
everything and to make the claim so
resonant that 1t will fool even the
people making it into believing that
1t may be so. And so we find the
big Democratic prophets, who ought
to know better and who really 10
know better, giving out assurances
that There never was before in the
history OF the country such I'M
presslve signs OF pending political
revolution by which they mean
that there are signs that the Repub-
iican party is about to be revoulted
out of control and the Democratic
party revoulted in. The Democratic
rainbow never ceases to radiate and
the chase after the precious pot at
the end thereof never ends"
