2 THE TRUST AND PRICE OF TOBACCO r Has Reduced the Price One Half and One Third. TRUSTS REGULATE TRADE SPECULATORS AWE AT SKA AND DEPEND ON THE TRUST. TRUST GETS ALL GOVERNMEN T CONTRACT The Warehousemen, Buyers and PI inters Are Convinced That No Change Can be Had While Republicans Are in Power. To the Editor: In reply to your let ter of inquiry, I have this to say: To the warehousemen and buyers on this market 1 have put these questions, to which you will find the following an swers: Have the American Tobacco Company produced any effect or change upon the prices of tobacco on this market? Answer: Yes. Has it been to increase or decrease prices ? Answer: It has been to decrease them very considerably. How is it done? Answer: The trust regulates the trade, and in this way they operate suc cessfully in fixing prices. Even now ail the independent buyers are buying on speculation and are completely at sea. In your judgment what has this de crease anmnited to? Answer: In tobacco selling for ten cents and over, they have dropped prices one half, and under ten cents at least one-third. What per cent of the tobacco do the trusts buy on thjs market? Answer: About one-fifth. Do the trusts influence the export trade? Answer: Yes. They are now trying to monopolize this altogether, and when they do it means utter ruin to the plant ers and buyers. The warehouseman, buyers and plant ers here are firmly convinced' that no change may ever be hoped as long as the Republican party is in power. They inform me that all the tobacco that has been purchased for the army has boon supplied by the trusts and no indepen dent factory was allowed to compete for bids. PAUL JONES.

When the liver is the principal cause there is a ! pain and heaviness in the right side,i great irregularity of the bowels, 6ick headache, palpitation of the heart, 1 ’ furred tongue, loss of appetite, bloating after meals, gloomy, despondent feel i ings, yellowness of the skin and belch ing up gas. Bilious colic or gall stones are fre quently the result of catarrh of the liver. It also produces a condition closely resembling chronic malaria. All these troubles are quickly cured by Pe-ru-na. A short, course of Pe-ru-na will do moro to set right tho digestive organs than all other remedies known to man. Pe-ru-na Is sure to produce a vigorous appetite and regular digestion. All bilious diseases disappear when Pe j ru-na is used. There are no substitutes for ge-ru-na. For a free book address Dr. Hartman, 1 Columbus, Ohio.
