! The trust last year In the wave of
I prosperity put up prices on Dearly every
I thing they made. They knew the country
was making plenty of money and argued
that the people would stand the equeese
i without grumbling. They then ran their
i mill and factories full force to supply the
-2 mTn ! demand for these high priced goods. The
STATE DEMOCRATIC TICKET. ; man wa8 not getting any more
; wages than he, was in a time when prices
were lower; he could afford to spend only
' a certain amount and of course the tn
1 creased price compelled him to buy a less
! quantity of goods.
' The trusts in several lines have over
stocked the market., Instead of pursuing
the natural method of reducing stocks
! by reducing prices, they propose to hold
' up the prices and shut down the mills
until the people use up what Is on hand.
Five trusts have followed the plan in
the past two weeks, and others are
i certain to do so as soon as there is an
i accumulation of their products. , .
They keep up the price to the high-
jvater mark, and yet turn out their Jm
ployes and let them shift for themselves
until the consumers have reduced stocks.
This is a characteristic trust, method,

tunities for educational service.
Dr. Alderman has done a great work
towards inspiring the people of North
Carolina to greater efforts to educate the
State's children. His leaving the State
is a distinct loss. It 4s doubtful if his
place at the bead of the leading educa
tional institution in North Carolina can
befllledeowellashehasdone. The State
cannot expect to retain its best men in
the educational field until it is prepared
to pay as well, or nearly as well, for their
services as other states pay.
Edwin Wildman, former vice consul at
Hong Kong, says:

got rid of ,as quickly as possible' , But
those men are McKinley's appointees,
and he is responsible for the policy
shaped by them, w.hich is supposed to
meet with his approval. ,
A few weeks ago the wire trust closed
twelve of its mills, throwing7,Q00 people
out of employment, causing a Iosb of
I 88,000 a week in wages. Col. Jobn W.
Lambert, of the directing officials pf the
trusts, explained the shut-down with the
characteristic insolence and brutality of
the typical trust magnate thus: "Our

lieve thaf the war in the Philippines 11 f
over, I learn from pnvate sources 01 in
formation of the highest authority that
there exists a veritable reign of terror in
moat parts of this archipelago within a
gunshot from our army posts. Either
Gen. Otis is blind to the situation or is
keeping the real facts from the American
people. Aguinaldo's forces have scattered
into marauding bands and, leaguing
themselves with the mountain Tullisanes
and ladrones, terrorize the country and
effectually check the cultivation of crops
and the sale of marketable products.
"The few ports that have been opened
have shipped away what little supply
they contained and the tons upon tons of
hemp, sugar and rice that are stored in
the interior are beyond the reach of buy
era. Theimoney paid for the thousands of
bales of hemp shipped from garrisoned
ports has found Its way into the insur
gent coffers, and the revolutionary junta
at Hong Koug and Singapore are making j
extensive purchases of arms, preparatory j
to a renewed season of filibustering and
general hostilities as soon aathe'rainy
season is over. Our army are busy pro
tecting their posts, while the insurgents
carry on their operations in the interior
and paraly w agriculture and trade.
"Scattered bands of armed insurgents
wage war against all who hesitate to
acknowledge the Aguinaldo government,
and the inhabitants are in a state of ter
ror that prevents honest Industry or open
: Alliance with American sovereignty. The
American troops make short work of
them robbers, but our garrisons are so
far apart and so-'tew in numbers that
they invariably are obliged to fall back
to a seaport town, where they can get
supplies from Manila, tot the insurgents
have so thoroughly ravaged the country
- that it la impossible to supply even a
small battalion with native products.
- "H we ever hope to put an end to this
Indian warfare we must send additional
Jorces to the island. Our preeentcorps is
totally inadequate to cope with the situ
1 atinn And brincr the war to a close. The
islands, commercially or 'otherwise, will
be utterly useless until life and property
are made safe;"
The war In the Philippines is far from
finished. ' The tax-payers will hare still
heavier burdens to bear before it la
:1 tronirht to a successful conclusion. And
' after it is concluded, the tax-payers will
; : derive no benefit from the islands. -
and open our mills when we see fit."
The tariff on trust products ought to
be taken off, and the antitrust laws
ought to be enforced. - .

Hartford, Conn. "A lady customer, see-ino-tri
