It is said that a few years ago, be fore Trusts had become the order of the day, there were in this country about 350,000 commercial travel lers, commonly called drummers. 'Within that time the number has been reduced about, one-fourth, throwing about S7,50O of these drummers out of employment. It is estimated that these 87,500 would spend in railroad fare, hotel bills and other necessary incidental ex penses about $43,750,000 a year, which the trusts save by dispensing with their serrices. In addition to this they BaTe the salaries of these drummers. This is a distinct gain to the trusts, but it is a loss to the railroads and hotels, -and it is a loss to the people at lafej because it keeps that amount of money out of circulation. If the public which purchases the things made or supplied by the trusts I got! the benefit of this saving there might be some offset to the loss sus tained by the railroads and hotels, but this is not the case, for the arti cles furnished by the trusts instead of being cheaper are dearer so that while 87,500 men are thrown out of. empieyment and the railroads, : Jiotels, etc, lose $43,750,000 a year, the only gainers are the trusts. We hold thkt even if the public got the goods furnished by the trusts at a reduced price, it would then be a loser by so many men be ing thrown out of employment and so much money being taken out pf circulation, for the more men em- ployed and the more money passing from hand to hand the better times are for all. This army of 87,500 employed would spend a great deal of money, for as a rule drummers get good .salaries, are good livers and liberal spenders. When they are not employed they have no money to spend, and consequently business suffers to the amount which they would spend if em ployed, .so that instead of $43,700, 000 there is probably three times that amount lost to business. This is why the public is interested in the drummers and why the public should co-operate with the drum mers in fighting th trusts. A movement began a few months ago in Brooklyn, N. Y., to organize an Anti-Trust League among the drummers and hotel keepers. It now numbers in New York city 30, 000 members and it is proposed to organize leagues in every State in the Union, to co-operate with the party which opposes trusts and with other anti-trust organizations. Such a league, composed as it will be of active, snappy, intelligent men, Bhould make itself felt in a political campaign and prove a potent factor sin the coming contest, when trusts will be a leading, if not the -leading issue. They made -themselves felt in the campaign and election of 1896, when they foolishly organized their "sound money" leagues, and pulled and marched and shouted for the party whose legislation and pro tection made the trusts possible and strong. They were wrong and were working against their own in vests then, but they didn't know it. They do know it now and per haps the recollection of how they permitted themselves to be duped then may stimulate them to greater effort to right the wrong they helped to do the country then. They are paying the penalty of their own folly and they see it. The trust question is not a mere matter of dollars and cents, whether trusts can or do sell goods for less than the formerly cost. There is something and a good deal in that, bjit there is more in it than that. There is a great principle involved and that is , whether the trusts are to control the people and Government of Jhe country or the people and Government to control them. . That is the issue at last, and that is more than dollars and. cents. . If the prganization of trusts is to gaon unchecked it is simply a. ques tion of a' few years when they' will absolutely control the field of the productive industries, save the. farms, and they will probably con trol them by controlling the prices which the farmers . will receive for what they produce. If the next election passes and the people fail to register their emphatic yerdict against them at the ballot box this failure will be reasonably construed as an endorsement or at least as in idiflerenoe,' and the trust organizers will be emboldoned to go on with the work oi organization, and con solidation of the productive indus tries will be the order of the day. Trusts will control the manufac tories, mines and forests, and everything made and used will have the . brand of a - trust upon it. The business of the country will be practically in the hands of trusts,- and without com petition they will fix their own prioes on what they have to sell and the purchasers will have to pay there prices. " and they will fix their own prices on what they have to buy and sellers will have to sell at these prices. , mas s taw wj v some extent, but it will be that way to a greater extent if the trusts win iu the next election. r They will do about as they please, fchftv will fear no legislation, and will if they desire any more legislative favors, dictate them to the repre son tAtirfiH of its tartv with which thev are identified, which they have ViAlnod in- the past and which stands by them now.' While the Ranublican party stands the trusts will be mighty. The only way to restrain them, and prevent them from becoming supreme is to over throw the party that fosters them, and nut into the legislative halls w and in the Presidency men who be lieve that the people have some rights that combines should respect and that the interests of the people are para mount to the interests of the trusts. ' As workers in this direction the Drummer's Anti-Trust Leagues and all other anti-trust leagues should have the cordial support of all citi zens who believe the people are above' the trusts. JITJBESTIHG FIG 9 RES. The following, which we clip from a Washington press dispatch a few days ago, presents some interesting figures, and also suggests some in quiries in addition to those made by Prof. Crowell: "Prof. John F. Crowell, of New York, testified before the Industrial Commission this morning on the gen eral subject of agriculture and the dis tribution of fecrricultural products. In a review of agricultural conditions in the United States he cited the Dutch farmer of Southern Pennsylvania'as a striking example of the successful small operator. He held that she Scan dinavian immigrant was mora success ful than his American confrere be cause of instinctive frugality and farm economy bred in his bones, and said that training schools intended to de velop untrained and unskilled youth into fanners on a small scale were of an unappreciated value to the State. Of wages and living conditions among various industries, Prof. Crowell said : 'We want to know why it is that the returns of the various industries are so unequal. I have taken a few figures from the census of 1890. The amount of capital invested in agricul ture was $16,000,000,000 and 8,466,355 workers were engaged. The value of the combined properties was $2,460, 000.000 and the product per capita was $280. In manufactures the product per capita was $893. In mining it was $740. These figures in the eyes of the farm er's boy are decisive argument in favor of abandoning the farm for the factory. The farmer has to adjust himself to prevailing prices. A proper distribut ing system is his urgent need to-day. This can be effective only through she European markets. The productive ness of the farm is limited. But the manufacturer can govern his supply as market quotations may indicate. These difficulties are increased by two large a burden of taxation." In 1890 the aggregate wealth of the United States was put down at about $60,000,000,000, so that over one-fourth of the total wealth was invested in farming and there was nearly seven times as much invested in farming as in manufacturing. As a rule our farms have not paid mnch on the investment, while many of them lost money. As a rule, the manufactories on the other hand have not only paid, but in many cases enriched those engaged in them. And for these many years this great industry of the farm, repre senting its' $16,000, 000, 0C0 invested, has been taxed on nearly everything used on it for the benefit of the in dustries represented by the $2,460,- 000,000 invested, i This is one ef the reasons why there is such a dis parity between the earnings of the farm and other industries, but this is not the omly reason for there is three or four or more times as muoh profit on goods in finished form as there is in the raw material, what ever, the raw material may be. The manufacturer of iron ma chinery and implements makes large profits, while the producer of tho iron, the man who digs it from the earth must be content with small profit. The manufacturer of cotton makes good profits -while the pro ducer of cotton makes small profits if he makes any. And so it is all along the line with the producers of raw materials. But in addition to this the farmer has the world to compete with with out any protection while the manu factories are fostered and protected ' from foreign competition by legisla tive policies. The farmer has not only to take care of himself but to stand heavy burdens that are im posed upon him. , Robert T. Lincoln and Norman B. Eaton had a soft snap as execu tors of the Pullman will. They were allowed $425,000 for their ser vices. The es tate which was thought to bo worth $8,000,000 panned out $14,000,000, reversing the usual order. 1 ne best remedy for VOUgn Consumption.

Speaking for the Administration and for tne expansionists - ne u clares that it- is the purpose to hold on to those islands "forever." Hje goes further and declares that this is the wish and determination of the 'common people" of this country. What he means by the "common people" we do not' know, but we Buppose that he means the great body of people who live by their daily labor, in contradistinction to those who live without soiling their hands or their linen much. But how does he know this? Ha3 this question ever -been submitted to the American people for their verdict apart from other questions? Has any authorized spokesman of the Administration positively de clared, until quite recently, that it was the purpose to hold on to those islands forever? They have been dodging that and never had the courage to proclaim it positively un til recently, although it was evident that this has been their intention all along. They have played their game deliberately, trying to deceive both the American people and the people of the Philippines and have succeeded to some extent with both. They have expended about $150, 000,000 in prosecuting that war, they have sacrificed the lives and health of thousands of our soldiers, have been running the Government in deeper and deeper, until it is a question with may how we could let go if we would. There are thou sands upon thousands of people who at first were opposed to seizing these islands who now consent to holding on to them because they have been told that we can't let go, and they can't see how we can. That's the very game that expansion managers haye been playing from the begin ning. And now they have the gall 4-t floaavf f V of flt'A f fsi sxw im sw-t aaa1a are with them. WANTS THE PICTURES J udge Walter Clark, who is edit ing, and will soon begin printing, the Sketches of the North Carolina Regi ments which served in the Confeder ate army, thinks it would add to the attractiveness of the publication if it contained the pictures of half a dozen Or so of the men of the re spective regiments, including when practicable the Colonel and His torian, but these pictures must have been taken when the men were serving in the war and taken in nniforms. No others are wanted, as the object is to show the participants as they ap peared then. The engravings will be made from daguerreotypes, by the University Publishing Company at a cost of from $2 to $2.50 each, according to style, unless when the picture may be dim and require re-drawing, which will cost $1.25 extra. The Judge would like to have these pict ures as soon as possible, to prevent delay in printing. It seems from the investigation going on in Washington that Sena tor Clark, of Montana, is entitled to the distinction of being one of the most liberal vote buyers that ever showed up in the Senate. The price of votes ranged from $5,00Q to $10. 000, which was freely paid, so freely that some of the fellows who voted were sorry they didn't demand $20,- 000. But the Clark side hasn't been heard yet. Perhaps he can show that he didn't pay so mnch. The latest prodigy in Indiana is an eighteen year old boy who has a phenomenal talent for figures, in addition to which he has an astonish ing memory for them. He can tell in a jiffy the number of inches in a mile, seconds in a year, &c, has fifty short methods for multiplying, six for division, six for addition and one for .subtraction. He is the son of a poor stone mason. Glorious News Comes from Dr. D. B. Cargile. of Washita, I. T.

The Department of Airrlcultnre Ad vises Farmers to Raise Tliem. There may be a great future for the goat in this country yet. and outside the Daces of the comic papers too. The department of agriculture has taken the goat up seriously. It says there Is big money in him. He can feed him self in summer on uplands worthless at the start on for any other use, and in a few years he will have cleared the ground of aU the undergrowth, bushes, briers, mullein, dock, ironweed, etc, leaving it ready Tor the timothy and clover. In winter he will thrive bn cornstalks. He is a much hardier ani mal than the sheep, the department of agriculture says, la much less trouble and much less expense. - All the farmers who have gone into goat raising are contented and even en thusiastic over the results. Dry goat skin is in brisk demand in the New York market at 40 cents a pound. The Angora goats are "good milkers," their fleeces bring a good price, their flesh is good eating. "I have raised a ewe goat." writes a South Carolina man to the department "that will give four quarts per day of as good milk as any cow on my plantation, and the feed of one of my cows will keep 12 goats. Like reports come from Texas, Missou ri, Kentucky and other states. "To a person who has never seen the results of the presence of Angoras on brush lands," writes an Iowa goat raiser, "a ride through my pastures ia ft revelation. Where, three years ago, the ground was densely covered with undergrowth of hazel, crabtree, oak, buckberry and other brush, it Is now growing the finest blue grass. I have over 600 acres which have been re claimed, and the value of the land has been enhanced at least $10 an acre."". One of the department's correspond ents smacks his lips over Angora) eoat flesh, pronouncing it finer than mountain mutton. . There are now . about 500.000 gbats of all sorts In the United States, ac cording to the department's census, most of them in Texas. Isn't there a field, so to speak, for the goats on our Yankee hill farms the run down, aban doned or semiabandoned. ones? Cer tainly there's store of food for them there. If s worth considering. Hart- - ford ,X2qu rant. The Vapor of Smokeleii Powder. As a result of the experiments at the Army Medical museum by ooionei Rmn,-t flenntv Rurtreon eenerai, it is found that the use of violet glass in an ordinary fieldglass will reveal the vapor of smokeless powder. To deter mine the effect of the different colored glasses, Colonel Smart securea several samples of smokeless powder extracted from Mauser cartridges. Tnese were lighted, and he observed the rising of the vapor through these glasses. A piece of ordinary violet colored glass was then held against the eye and the powder lighted. He immediately no ticed a thin, yellowish white vapor ris ing in the air. It was streaked with tinges of green and stood out in bold relief against the shaded light. It Is- proposed to use the ordinary fieldglass now in the service, but with the addi tion of a shade of violet glass, which can be, used when needed to locate the position of the enemy by the vapor - rising from their guns.
