A Few. Words on Trusts.
- - -
There would be .slight objection
to the formation of trusts if their
real objects were those set forth by
the men who organize and uphold
them. If economies in production
and distribution be the sole ends
to be attained, who would insist
that Jones, Smith and Robinson
should be prevented combining to
produce jointly the merchandise
which th'ey nad theretofore pro
duced singly and severally? It is
when Jones, Smith and Robinson
tnake'uee of. effected economies,
first to get possession and monopo
ly of the markets, and' afterward
to deny to the consumer the ad
vantage which he might obtain
from competitive production, that
they become public plunderers, and
rightful appeal may be made to
the state and federal power for
protection. ' '
The right of men to associate to
gether for a common purpose so
Ions; as that purpose be not con
trary to public policy is past dis
pute; bat the trusts have certainly
carried the principle of combina
tion too far. They have made of
it the opportunity for robbery;
and the country is now brought
face ifr face with the question of
how to restrain thefr operations
within such bounds as to, reap the
benefits which accrue from aggre
gations of capital and effort-without
incurring the injuries arising
therefrom:
Probably out of this very multi
plication of the trusts will come
the remedy for the' evil they do.
The time must soon come when
they will tear; and rend each other;
as wolves .do when there are more
wolves than mutton. The princi
ple of competition is only held tem
porarily in abeyance. It is not de
stroyed. It will surely vindicate
itself. When prices shall have
been advanced so as to earn divi
dends on overcapitalized enter
prises new enterpiises on a more
solid basis will inevitably be
brought into existence to dispute
for the possession of the markets.

Does Not Raise Cotton. -
There is one farmer near Du
pont, Ga., who lives and has his be
ing without the use of cotton.
That man is Mr. William Barlow.
Mr. Barlow does not raise any cot
ton, never has raised it and says
he never will. But, instea, he
plants corn, -peas, rice, potatoes
and ether provision crops, which,
as he says, if they cannot be sold,
can be eaten. His surplus corn
crop he has ground into meal, which
he tells for a fair price, but he does
not sell any' corn. He raises, an
abundance of pork for sale, besides
a number of beeves every year.
Mr. Barlow has prices for all these
items, and if he fails te get suita
ble offers he does not sell.
Many old soldiers now feel the effects
of the bard service they endured dur
ing the war. Mr. Geo. S. Anderson, of
Rossville, York county, Penn , who saw:
the hardest kind of service at the front,
is. now frequently troubled with rheu
matism. 1 hada severe attack lately,"
he says, "and procured a bottle of
Chainberialn's Pain Balm. It did so
much good that 15 would like to know
what you "would charge me for one
dozen bottles." Mr. Anderson wanted
it both for bis own use and to supply
it to his friends and neighbors, as every
family should have a bottle of it in
their home, not only for rheumatism,
but lame back, sprains, swellings, cuts,
bruises and burns, for which it is un
equalled. For sale by C. E. Uolton.

A western editor was running
the motto "We tell the truth" at
the head" of his paper. The other
day, however, he was compelled to
encounter several gentlemen who
objected to the truth being told,
and as a consequence the motto
disappeared, and the following no
tice was printed: "Until we re
cover from the injuries recently re
ceived, this paper will lie just like
the rest of them."
C tone-Eater Forced Out'of Business.
Great Britain's champion e wal
lo wer . has j us tbeen - forced "outof
business. He was 4a' young man
who had mastered the art -of swal
lowing stones by the pound. He
began this practice as a pleasure,
but, soon found that it could be
made profitable, and for several
years he had been exhibiting bis
peculiar' talent .in country! fairs.
But a few weeks ago a stone pave
ment, which he bad laid as usual
in his. interior, proved too much for.
him, and gave him what might be
described as the stony stomach. f ;
The swallower was led into bis
profession when he was fourteen
years old 1 by watching a juggler
performing in a country fair. His
most striking trick was the swal
lowing of stones and glass. . The
boy was fired . with ambition, and
practiced, on the largest pebbles
that he could urge into his gullet.
In his first successful attempt l?e
managed to get twelve large, peb
bles down1. ;
The next time he tried it he had
improved so much that he swal
lowed twenty. Then he joined tne
army and fought in Egypt, where
he amused his comrades often by
swallowing things as if he were .an
ostrichr He joined a circus after
his discharge and devoted himlelf
almost entirely to his mineralogical
art. He tried glass-eating but
found that it was not good for his
teeth. Stones, however, became so
ordinary an article of diet with him'
that at one special performance he
swallowed nine pounds and a- half.
But he overdid the thing at last.
A few weeks ago be swallowed five
and one-half pounds of large . peb
biesand his stone-crushing jstom
ach went back on him. He was
seized, with frightful painj and
when the surgeons arrived they
found him doubled up with agony.
He said that, as nearly as he could
remember, he had swallowed 'about
150 pebbles of the total weight men
tioned before. The surgeons found
that his abdomen was swollen enor
mously and the pebbles could be
felt on' pressure. i
Before the man could be removed
to a hospital he was in a high fever
and his pain was getting worse. It
was found that the only possible
relief would be an operation and
this was performed successfully.
iiaeiy one aiones were taxen out
the largest of which was
the size of a pigeon's egg.
he
never

i
Before
was discharged he swore that he
rer would swallow stones again.

Micanopy (Fla.) Hustler, with his wife

was the only remedy that helped them.
It acted, quickly. Thousands of others

Made From Perry's Flagship.
Will N. Clarke, of Millersburg, is
the owner of a valuable relic which
possesses much historical interest
It is in the shape of a cane which
was made from wood taken from
the flagship, Lawrence, of Commo
dore Perry's fleet, which won the
great victory from the British on
Lake Erie on September 10, 1813.
The wood was taken from the ship
on July 4, 1858. The cane, which
belonged to Mr. Clarke's grandfath
er, William Nunn, has a handsome
ivory head and bears silver plates,
on which are engraved names, dates
