Tkero are Now More Thaa Flfyi ii
dred IH the United SUtesN
There are now over 500 trusts I
cony
trol almost every known article
of commerce in the United States I
except a few agricultural pro
darts It is predicted by stn
dents of economics that these
cot > lbtuutions will become nniver
SHI unless oneoked by legislation
The trusts now in existence are
said to have property to the VitiI I
u of 3000000000 capitalized at
8000HM0H In other words I
nearly two thirds of these con
cerns is water Tbe essential feet
ture of a trust is monopoly It
lias power to fix vain 8 by UrM
and to set a price on its products I
without reference to competition
All the old lawn of trade have I
been abolished or MI least aupear
to hate been The trusts put
down the price of articles they
have to sell in spite of the law of
nnppfy and demand The re
itiarkuble Increase In prices dur
lug tbe past twelve months is due I
very largely to tbe arbitrary de
ciclon of the trusts It in just
and fair to concede that part of
the increase is doe to a reaction
from a long depression of busi
ness out of which the country has
just emerged but that many ar
tidies have doubled and even
trebled in value is the result of
artificial combinations Tbe peo
pie are now paying 20 to 200 per ot
more for all kinds of goods than
they old a year ago Manufactur
ed articles have increased in price
ont of al proportion to farm pro
ducts

TilE PHILIPPINES UNDER SPAIN
After Spanish authority had
been established in the Philip
pines there were between tbe
years 1003 and 1060 four terrible
massacres In each of which near
ly 30000 people were killed that
the streets of Manilla J literally ran
blood that in 1103 there was a
massacre of 7000 Chinese and
other foreigners timid as late sI I
1820 the natives and Spaniards I
y
turned on the Chinese and Jap
anese Dutch and English and 1
slew other thousand and in those E 1
Bygone days of Spanish misrule t
there was slaughter by pirates
slaughter by Holdiae and slaugh t
ter by natives Coming down to
tho rebellion of 189007 the Inter
Ocean states that about 50000
natives were killed in the first
year of the war Many of them
full in battle but not a few of
them were shot down as prison
ers Week in and week out the
Spaniards were wont to shoot a
score of prisoners a day on the
Luneta of Manila Under Span
isis rule sixty in every hundred
prisoners thrown into dungeons
died over night of suffocation
