The typio&l way in which trusti are organized is given in announcing the formation of the Salmon Canning com bine. The total Btook Issued, says the Chicago Chronicle, is $16,000,000, to be divided a9 follows: Six per cent, debentures $8,000,000 Seven par cent, cumulative pt» ferred »tock 6.BOO.OOO Common stock 6,600,000 It i» understood that the underwrlt iag syndicate will furnish $3,000,000 cash", receiving therefor $3,000,000. in preferred stock and $1,500,000 common •took. This company, therefore, starts out by presenting the underwriting syndi cate with $3,000,000 of preferred and coiAmon stock for their share of the plunder the balanoe of the common stock Is doubtless pure water, as is probably the case with the remaining $5,000,000 of preferred stock, as only $3,000,000 in cash is used In the trans action. The information is also given that the annual capacity of the combined concerns is 2,000,000 cases, so if the salmon canned by the original com panies produoed a profit of 20 per cent, it will require the combine to increase the price about 100 per cent, to pay a like profit. This watered stock will .eventually find its way into bank vaults as seourity for loan* and when a tight time comes in the money market si)me bank will fail with large assets that are "not immediately available." The suf ferers will not be the trusts, but the unfortunate depositors. The increase of railroad fares and freight rates haa been systematically going on ever since the combinations were effected. The freight rates have generally been increased in the round about way of raising tha classification. The Buffalo Times says: "The Pan American is now complete, but tha railroad rates keep the crowds away." This is corroborated by the man agers of the Pan-American ex position, who give'out the following In formation: "We can cite many in stances where the railroad* have put up their rates far in excess of whal the fare was before the exposition." This is pretty good proof that trusts and combinations do raise prices, not withstanding the efforts of Gen7 0ros« vener and other republican leaders to prove that they are an advantage to the people. PLAYING HIDE AND SEEK. The Indnatrial oiiimlaaion flouring Republican S»eee«». Hot That industrious bunch of profes sional office seekers known as the in dustrial commission are playing hlde^ and-seek with a fact that is in plain yiew of those who want to see it.. The fact that some of the members ef the commission wish to find and the others do not, is "are Ameri can goods sold abroad cheaper than at home?" Mr. Schwab, the mil lion dollar president of the ste-el trust, testified before the commission that this was the case. The secretary of the Home Market club admits the same, but these authorities insist there is no harm in it. The great majority of the commission being republicans, they may not find the fact, but the minority have it right before them, if it has not JMUFJI suppressed like some other mat ters /jave been. This industrial com mission IJMS not been a roaring repub lican success. 0.0. Buck, Ark., says.. I was troubleed wiuh constipation until 1 bought DeWitt's Little Early Bisers.

Protection, I Tho alternative now presented is war or ignominious retreat. Senator Aldrich, chairman of the senate finance committee, has served notice on the I president that the republican organ Ization in congress is opposed to reci* procity dickers and will defeat any aV tempt to proourc the ratification of those now pending. I Senator Aldrich claims to speak for his party in the N«w England and eastern middle states. He undeni ably speaks for those who have pre-' vented the ratification of the pending treaties, and who can continue to de feat them and others like them unless reciprocity republicans and demo crats can agree to pull together, which is not very likely. The true democratic doctrine is that The true democratic doctrine is that reciprocity treaties are repug nant to the constitution and are no more to be tolerated than attempts to discharge any other constitutional functions of congress by treaty. Mr. McKinley may be turned aside once more from the path of "plain duty," but the war is on, and Ding leyism is doomed.—Chicago Chronicle. DOOM OP DINGLEYISM THE AMERICAN FAKM tariffs are to be made by congress, were getting the worst of it not- by the treaty-making power, and "The objeot of all of the work of thatcongress cannot be divested of its the department of agriculture is to exclusive prerogative in the matter enable the United States to product of raising revenue by the treaty-mak- as "ear as possible, everything which ing power or any other power. Democrats, therefore, should not join produce all of our own food, our tea, western republicans in ratifying the coffee, sugar, rubber, spices, bread, pending treaties. butter, cheese, nuts, raisins, oranges, What then? Will Mr. McKinley per- 'apples, peaches, cherries, plums, sist in urging the senate to ratify olives in fact everything that neces- those treaties? Senator Aldrich warns him against that course. He assured the president that the National Asso-. ciation of Manufacturers, which re cently held a convention in Detroit, is merely an association of western makers of agricultural implements, and that the real manufacturers of the country—those east of the Alle ghanies and north of the Potomac— will make it uncomfortable for him if he does not abandon reciprocity. These real manufacturers have shown what they can do with Mr. McKinley heretofore, and they are likely to dem onstrate their power to unsettle his settled convictions of duty once more. But whipping him into line again will not end the matter. Thousands of manufacturers are s«eking foreign markets. They see that Dingleyism is shutting the doors of those mar kets in their faces. If they find they cannot unlock those doors by means of reciprocity treaties they will seek to secure dem ocratic assistance by attacking Ding leylsip directly in some such way as that proposed by JleprpseBt.ative Bab cock. Mr. Aldrich declares that eastern republicans are practically a unit in favor of maintaining the Dingley law intact, and will effectively resent any attempt to modify its offensive pro* visions, which are shutting doors against our products. But western manufacturers, and many eastern ones, too, are deter mined that the Dingley rates must come down if not In one way, then in another. If they turn to the demo cratic party for aid they will win, and neither manufacturing nor agri cultural interests will be slaughtered ITITT Innffpr In order to build UP th* private fortunes of greeay bene ficiaries of Dingleyism in Pennsyl vania and New England. Oar Inoougraoni Tariff Laws. If the national tariff law was drawn up for tbe sole purpose of raising revenue for the government and was based, like other foripe of taxation, without discrimination for or against industries or individuals, there wou}4 be comparatively no complaint. As it is we have a tariff the iron schedules of which are made In the interest of but half a dozen individuals. With the protection thus afforded these men hold up the ppipes of iron goods to American citizens in fte United States, while the benefit of loy prices is given to those abroad. Thus we see a law having for its ostensible object th« upbuilding of American citizens pon» verted into an agency to squeeze their pockets and resulting in the benefit of lower prices to the man living in France, in England, jji Africa or al most anywhere so that lie j.s not an American citizen,—Atlanta Constitu tion. It is possible that the brutal tac tics adopted by advocates of protec tion for industries that have out grown any need or excuse for such fa vor, for combines that are paying div idends on hundreds of millions of fic titious capitalization, may be able to prevent any reformatory action by the Fifty-seventh congress. We can oonceive of no happlpr fortune for the somewhat demoralized and disheart ened democracy than to be endowed with the campaign thunder, the po litical pnpital, that will be in its hands if eongress firfjourns without having put away tjie flag^ijt abuses that are sheltered behind some oli) schedules of the tariff of 1897.—Washington fpjst". The Dingley law stands like a club over foreign trade at every port usder the American flag. Whether it is German /sugar or French wines or India silks OF fSJjjnese tca or Japan ese matting, we put a (i(')ialty upon every man who would like to iltj Jjijsi ness with us and p»vt with jttye pror ceeds of his labor to UK that he may be fed with our wheat and warmed with 0[U» cptton ami wool and carried on our iomuu^ jvpfl and bicycles.

Byron had no ear fpr music. Edmund Burke, whose ppatqf^- was music to his audiences, hated music. Charles James Fox, a great orator Daniel O'Connell, still another Wil liam Pitt, third Bobert Peel, a fourth—all of these ran away from the sound of music. Edison and Tesla, the electricians, are both anuch averse to music and each experiences a feeling of posi tive discomfort when within the reach of melodious sounds. IB -*•, It Is the Source of Our National Wealth and Greatness. Secretary at Aerrlcmltnre Wilton Blnkcs Prediction mid Give* Sotnr Excellent ROMOBD In Support of It. I1 [Special Washington Letter.] WILL give you a statement and a prophccy," said Secre tary Wilson, of the depart ment of agriculture. "There is some talk of a combina tion of ail Europe against the United States, commercially, if not inimical ly. We can come nearer now to sup' porting ourselves than any nation on earth. Any combination of countries against us, to embarrass us in any way, would soon discover that they I our people require, under the Amer ican flag. It will only be a reason able number of years when we will produce our own woolen and cotton clothing, our shoe*, socks, shirts and everything of that character. It will be very soon when we will be able to eity or luxury requires or suggests. All of these things, and many more too numerous to mention, will be produced in the United States or in our island possessions." No writer could portray the earn estness and forcafulness of this typ ical farmer leader, as he drops his spectacles, leans back in his chair, rises and mpves his hands and arms, or walks about the room, while he dwells upon the glory and greatness of the imperial republic. He glories in the fact that the United States government and people are free, be cause valorous, and independent be cause prosperous and thrifty there fore to-day more free and independ ent than when the declaration was promulgated on July 4, 1770. The secretary is an intensely patriotic man, and back of all of his work is the energizing influence of his love of country and pride In its grand achievements and marvelous possibiV lties and probabilities. That is what impelled him to make the statement and prophecy ooncerning the defiant papability of the United States in the presence of suggestions of foralgn complications and combinations. "I will tell you what the depart ment of agriculture is doing for the present weal and the future oom monweal," continued Secretary Wil son. "From the beginning of the colon ial development of our country tO' bacco has been one of our greatest staples. While it is true that many people do not approve of the use of tobacco in any form, it still continues to be one of our staple produots We annually sell $30,000,000 worth of tobacco but we buy $13,000,000 •wwlbi—Thie-dapartmor)t is trying to reduce our buying necessities.
