THE GRASPING TRUSTS.
Mark Hanna and other Repub
lican leaders are trying to head off
the movement against Trusts, be
cause Mark Hanna is himself finan
cially interested in Trusts, and the
Trusts have been pretty substantial
supporters of the Republican party.
When he, "as campaign manager,
needed money and it didn't come
fast enough or in sufficient quanti
ties he knew where to go to get it,
and he never came back empty
handed. It is not surprising, then,
that Mark Hanna should stand by
the Trusts which have stood by him
and the party. 1
In the interview with him which
we published Friday he indicated
the position he and other friends of
the Trusts will take when the move
ment .is made in Congress for the
repeal of the duties on articles made
by the Steel Trust. The argument
for the repeal will be that the Trusts
do not need protection, but take ad
vantage of it to raise prices and com
pel the home purchasers to pay them
an exorbitant profit on the goods
they sell. The friends of the Trusts
will admit, as Mr. Hanna does, that
they do not need protection against
competitors across the seas, but they
must have it against the terrible in
fant on the Canada side of the line.
English and Canadian capitalists,
and perhaps some Americans with
them, are going to establish some
steel plants on the Canada side, and
these are going to do the mischief,
land will get away with our billion
dollar jumbo unless their products
are kept out of our market by a high
tariff.
This same Jumbo has secured con
trol q nearly; all the anthracite coal
mines in Pennsylvania, of the best of
the soft coal mines, and is now head
ing straight for mines in West Vir
ginia with the intention of taking
them in. It has already decided to
raise the price of coal about a dollar
a ton, and had previously served no
tice that the price of steel rails would
be increased $2 a ton. But, accord
ing to Mark Hanna, this mighty
jumbo is in danger of being badly
crippled by this Canadian infant and
therefore must have protection to
prevent the infant from striding into
our home market and chasing the
jumbo out.
It has control of the iron and coal
supplies, but if the tariff duties be re
moved from coal and iron, New
England and other Atlantic States
would get cheap coal and iron from
Nova Scotia, and could snap their
fingers at the jumbo.
Admitting, as they do, that the
Steel Trust no longer needs protec
tion against European steel makers,
will it not seem absurd when they
demand it to protect our colossal
concern from Canadian competition?
What good reason can they give for
it? Does it cost less to mine coal or
iron in Nova Scotia than it does in
this country? Will .it cost less to
make steel on the Canadian side of
the line than it does on this side?
If our steel makers can compete
with the rich and long established
plants in England and Germany
why can't they compete with the
plants that may spring up in Canada?
These questions will be asked of the
friends of the Trusts and they will
have to answer them with something
more convincing than mere asser
tion. . But admitting, as they do, that
our Steel- Trust can compete with
all the world save Canada, (but
Canada hasn't yet become a com
petitor for the steel industry has
not yet, been established), they ad
mit that the Trust is strong enough
to take care of itself without the
protection which they said an "in
fant industry" needed, and can find
no decent or plausible pretence for
continuing it. They ought to be
ashamed to acknowledge that they
can not compete with the young
concerns that may spring up in
Canada. Steel plants do not spring
up in a day, nor by magic. They
require large capital and men who.
know something about the-business,
and therefore there is little prospect
of New England becoming the
dumping ground for Canadian
steel. But even if the prospect were
for the rapid growth of this indus-
. try in Canada, where the production
j of steel will cost as much as as it
does in this country if not
more, why should the people in New
England or other States be deprived
of the privilege of buying Canadian
steel, if they could buy it cheaper
I than the Steel Trust will sell
it, when the Steel Trust could af
ford to sell it twenty-five or thirty
per cent, cheaper than it does, and
then make a handsome profit? Ac
cording to the reports it made money
nough the past year to pay the in
terest on its bonds and have about
$8,000,000 left.
If the railroads which the Trust
will compel to pay $2 a ton more for
rails than they did last year could
buy rails from Canada at the price
they had been payingthe Trust "or
; for less, why shouldn't they have
ae privilege of ' doing it ? If the
Trust could make and sell rails for
28 ton last .year, and sold about
: 2,500,000 tons at that price, why
the.y do it this year, especially
since it operates its own iron and
coal mines? Under its own man
agement the iron and coal should
not cost as much as they last year.
When tfce Trust sends its advo
cates and hirelings before Congress
to demand the continuation of the
protective tariff, it can plead neither
helDless mfancv nor poverty, ior
it has estopped both of these pleas
by its achievements and its colossal
combinations. The people demand
protection from the Trusts and if
after the developments ot tne
v&at few years Mark Hanna suc
ceeds in preventing tariff reform
which he sneers at as "tariff tinker
ing,", it will be proof yositive tnat
the Trusts own the majority in Con
gress, j Failing there, if the advo
cates of reform do fail, the contest
will be carried to the hustings and
become the leading issue in the
next Congressional campaign.
DR. i PARKHURST AND THE
!' NEGRO.
Dr. Pajkhurst, of New York, was
one of the party of Northern gentle
men who recently came South on
that educational tour. They visited
a number of institutions and doubt
less acquired considerable informa
tion as to what was being done in the
way of educating negroes.
Somevue learn, or think they
learn, more in a week's trip through
the South, than- other -people of
equal intelligence and powers of ob
servation do in a life time. Dr.
Parkhurst belongs to this class. He
learned it all and told his congrega
tion about it in his sermon last Sun
day, j
A good deal he said was true and
some wasn't. As, for instance,
speaking about the treatment of
negroes, he said the Southern people
hate the negrf; but so do white
people: in the North. The only
difference between them is that the
Southerners do not deny it, while the
Northerners lie about it.
While his rebuke to the pretended
friends of the negro in the North
had some foundation, he was far
from the truth when he said the
whole people of the South hate the
negro J The negro hasn't a better
friend in the world, a more indul
gent employer, or one more consid
erate of his short-comings than the
Southern man. There is no enmity
to tne negro in the Southunless
when i he .presumes, forces himself
into positions for which ne is not
fitted, and thus comes into conflict
with the white man. Then there is
friction, but it isn't enmity against
the negro race, but simply against
negro assumption and presumption.
In his place, honestly struggling for
a livelihood, no where in the world
has the negro better friends or is
more kindnesf-gjiown tf him than in
the South. This is freely acknowl
edged by some negroes, one of
whom, Rev. C. T. Walker, a Baptist
minister in New York, in a sermon
speaking about the treatment of
negroes -in the respective sections,
said: i
"Having lived in the South all my
life, except nearly two years spent in
the pastorate in this city, from my
personal observation I must confess
that prejudice a?ainst my race in some
sections of the North is as strong ss in
the South, only it is met and dealt
witn in a different way. The South
gives j every man an opportunity to
earn a living ; tbe Northern negro is
given an opportunity to spend his
living without the opportunity to
earn it."
He has in the South abetter chance
to earn a living, and that is all he
ought to expect anywhere, but that's
more than he gets outside of the
South.
THE CHINESE SIX.
Notwithstanding all the talk
about agreements, " withdrawing
troops, etc., the Chinese question
is very far from settlementyet,
isn't much nearer it than when the
representatives of the severfl allied
powers first met after the (A try into
Pekin. We have had propositions,
propositions, heads chopped off and
all that sort of thing, but there has
been nothing definite and there is
not one even among the far-seeing
of the statesmen prophet enough to
tell what the outcome will be. The
latest is that possibly the disagree
ment j among the Powers may re
result in each taking possession of
a piece of 'territory as a guarantee
of its claim. When each, one takes
possession of a piece of territory.
when each one will let- go will
be quite another matter. It has.
been the experience of China and
of other helpless countries that
when a stronger nation takes pos
session of territory it seldom lets go,
but always finds some pretence for
holding on, and if it can't find one
makes it.
This will simply be a prelude to
the partition of China, which many
have looked for as the inevitable
outcome of that tangle. The dilly
dallying, insincere and conflicting
positions taken by the respective
nations in their management of this
affair have indicated that and given
ground for that opinion. - If the
United States, which are opposed
to partition, had not been in it the
probabilities af e that partition would
have been decided upon before this.;
There was a report a few days ago
that Germany had secured concea-
bious in vanton, ana u so tne other
Powers, if they do not object, will
seek and insist on other concessions
to offset this. Thus it is. They
have China down and are going for
the spoils.: . ' ; f . . '

Potato Insecticides.
From Its esjeriuii".;ts with insecti
cides upon potatoes the Maine station
arrives at the following conclusion;
In fighting the Colorado potato bee
tle no adequate substitute for arsenical
poisons has yet been found. The efforts
are now limited to finding cheaper or
rnore effective compounds of arsenic
than paris green. The arsenical in
secticides are best applied with water
In the form of a fine spray as soon as
the slugs appear. Unless applied in
connection with bordeaux mixture it
is safest to use lime with all arsenical
compounds. The applications should
be repeated as often as necessary.
Soma of the cheaper arsenoids were in
these experiments as effective as paris
green. There is no reason for using
them In place of paris green unless
they can be had at a lower price. Lead
arsenate is the most satisfactory of the
Insecticides used by the station. It is
apparently slower in action than the
copper compounds of arsenic, but it
can be more evenly applied, and it ad
heres firmly to the foliage without
burning.

HAULING MANURE.
Late Fttll and Winter Work Beat
Pinna In Theory nnd Practice.
No farmer can afford to waste the
manure that Is made on the farm, and
one of the great advantages to the
land, and consequently to Its owmer,
n stock farming, lies in the fact that it
makes a large amount of barnyard ma
nure with which to maintain fertility,
and dairy farming does this to a still
greater extent, as Iowa Homestead ex
plains. To the busy farmer the time when
the manure should be hauled is a mat
ter of Importance. With leisure for the
work at command, and a proper place
to put.it on the land, the ideal way to
treat manure would be to haul it; out
and spread it as it is made. Other ur
gent work, however, makes this im
practicable In most cases.
A great deal may be said, therefore,
In favor of hauling out manure in the
late fall and winter. There are at that
time no crops In the field either to de
mand the farmer's attention or to be
an obstacle to hauling out the manure.
The ground, too, is usually firm, mak
ing the draft over the field compara
tively light, and ft is not as unpleasant
a task on a moderately cold day as it Is
at some other, seasons of the year. It
Is a good time, too, to distribute, the
manure so that it will do the most
good, and It it is too cold to scatter it
it may be piled on the ridges and thin
places to be scattered at the first thaw.
If one will make a systematic effort
to distribute the manure made on the
place, giving the subject some thought,
means can be , devised to render the
work easier. A low wagon, for exam
ple, is more easily loaded, broad tires ,
cut. the fields less and are of lighter
draft, movable bottoms to the wagon
bed, such as are used by teamsters
who haul dirt In and about cities, will
make thfc work of unloading easy.
If it has beep difficult or impossible
to haul out manure earlier, the farm
will be all the better for a 'thorough
cleaning, up now and for a month or
six weeks A come, and the fields will
respond better to next year's demands
upon them. .

Mrs. Belva A, Lockwood, late
candidate for the Presidency,
writes: "I have used your Pe
runa and I find it an invaluable
remedy for Cold, catarrh and kin
dred diseases; also a good tonic
for feeble and old people, or those
run down and with nerves un
strung. I desire, also, to say that
it has no evil effects." Mrs.
Lockwood's residence is Wash-
ington, D. C.
Catarrh has already become a national curse. Its ravages extend from J
to ocean, more man one
temic disease. Peruna is
ing tne cause. Aaaress

The Cause of Most BodUy Ills Is Caterrh
CONGRESSMAN CUMMINOS,
OP NEW YORK CITY.
Hon. Amos J. Cummings, of
New York, says : "Peruna is good
for catarrh. I have tried it and
know it. It relieved me immense
ly on my trip to Cuba, and
I always have a bottle in reserve.
Since -my return I have not suf
fered from catarrh, but if I do I
shall use Peruna again. Mean
time you might send me another
bottle.'

with further losses .abroad. Liver
pool broke heavily again this morn
ing, quite in keeping with its recent
action and sent formidable selling
orders to our pit. July, in the lical
pit, broke to 7.70 under the first
wave of selling which came from
all - directions, and then rallied slow
ly on profit taking by timid shorts
who feared to risk over Sunday
developments. Yet there was no
realizing of recuparative power in the
market and the more reliant took ad
vantage of the rally to put out new
lines of cotton in the Summer mouths.
Sentiment continued bearish under
favorable reports from the crop centre
and very gloomy news from abroad.
Liquidation in Liverpool from all
parts of Europa was the chief factor
of depression there, though be
hind this pressure was a demoralized
cotton goods market, total ab
sence of speculative . support, a
large supply of high "priced cotton
for which there was virtually no de
mand and many cables from tbe South
to the effect that the outlook
for the new crop was exceed
ingly favorable. Farmers were
said to be holding back cotton in ex
pectation of a July corner in New
York:. The predictions all pointed to
a continuance of the heavy movement.
Receipts " were well nigh over
whelming at the ports, reaching 'over
15.000 bales. The market closed barely
