There was a dreary liipso of silonoo, but during its reign tbo gleaming, scln-tlllnnt oyo8 of iJoatrIco JJoroer ti id that t]xQ^ owjior -was not itile.

Sho was tlilnking, plotting, preparing to not. Hor quick mind gritspod tho Bltuation readily , tho situation sho had antloipatod, mid wlileli alio hnd como prepared to moot..

Sho had other Ihrnl resources . in ro-Borvo. Slio had prepared plaiis c a l m l y , Bystoinatleally. This was but tho llrst stop. Oh! she oouUl not fall .

She arose and s lolo to tbo door; sho loorod In. 'I'lioro siit (ho sterii-faoed,

old ot tlio room. Xot until she liad roaohedtlio (able and her shadow fell a o r o s f l i t d k i lawyer and victim glanoo up, with a vivid start.

"Madaiiil—why " began tho former. "I liavo oomo to purehasu thoso doou-

and soeiiritles, almost touching thom. In profound wondorinont tho lawyer re­garded hor. "With a gasp of hope, sus­pense, dread. Colonel Atnrshall stared at her veiled I'noe.

"i'ou havo eoino " repented tho lnw,yor, vnguoly .

"To buy thoso dociimonts!" "Why—t do not iiudorstaud—by what

half-whlsporod In Ids dumfoundod oar. "I camo to save you," and then aloud; 'Colonel Marshall, you authorize mo to act for youV"

Tho hair-stunnod Colonel could only nod liko an automaton.

"Ton tliousiuid dollars is tho amount , I boliovo," went on Boatrlco, ca lmly . "Thoro is tho money. See that it is right."

Sho had flashed a heap of bnnk-notos of largo dcuQmlnatioiiB before tho law­yer's sight Sho took up tho papers on tho table.

"ilako nc inletako!" It was tho afternoon of tho dny succeed­

ing that which had witnessed Boat­rlco Mercer's strange act of gonorosity.

Boatrlco herself, In projiria persona, tho disguiso sho had lillhcrto adopted now abandouoil, lay upon a couch lu one corner of hor sleeping apartment.

Sho wns Jio longer disguised, hut lliero wns a cliango in her from hor ordinary appearance Ihat was most remarkable.

iferfaco looked thin and wretchedly white, hor oyes heavy. As sho lay back on tho pillow, hor labored breathing and hectic chooks seouiod to iiidicato a hot, burning fever.

A hot, burning fover she hnd, but produeod by artllleliil moans. 'This ruthless scliomorhad paused at nothing

'hor fo you after my cruel deception, hat Bho is deai\. A diatuut relative lott mo, a fortune. Tho only roBtltutlon I c^uld ratiko was to aid your father. I nra dy­i n g . The only reward I ask is tliat you take my hand nnd forgive mo for it nil."

Itayiiioud itnrBhi\;i Blood Hko ono In a dream. All tlio past Unshod over his mlpd. This woman had, liidood, wronged lilm, but utill Blio was uotnc-countiiblo for Edna's death. As ho thought of nil sho had dono for his father, ns ho fancied ho roati a noble re­morse in hor words and deeds, a gonor-ous liupnlso drove him forward.

I Ho felt hor burning I'nnd twitch in hia own, Ifo did not doubt, aftor all tho Dootor had said, that sho was a dy­ing wuinnu,

"Vou did rao no wrong except lo tor­ture mo with a passing boilyf in the falthleBsnoBsof the' woman I loved," ho said.

"iror lovo of you!" murmured Be­atrice, fervently, "liaymond, I can toll you now, for I shall soon dio. I was not toblarao for my love, nnd I had not Ed­na's gonl lo nature to onduro iu slionoo. I lovod you so hopelessly, yot so fondly!"

His eyes dlminod with tenrs. Lovo was surely no Bin, even when hopoloss. His groat heart stirred with honest pity.

"loandloin ponce, now," she said, "for your eyes tell mo that I »ui foi'-glveu. IbiymoiiU, good-by—good-by!"

Hor oyes woro raining tears. Oh, actross deft and subtle.! oh, hypoorlto strong and oonlldont! pitting all tho is-Biies of life upon tho frail cast of a die.

She turned her fiieo to the wall, hor sobs causing tho sympathetic Colonel to winoo wllh'Iionest pity. Baymoud

grieved.

These two bad plotted well In unison, and UB ho oiitored Ibe outer room of tbo Biill.o ho a.H.siimed Dint grave, sorious ex­pression of fnoo thnt the average phjui-clan wears wbllo n.ttoiidliig a patient in tho last p.vtromlty.

Ho opened Iho door with warnlr.g nolsolessiiess as Ihore eaiiio a tap llna'i-ly. A servant stood there, two porsons at hlfl side.

"Gentlenmn to soo Miss Leslie, sir," he announcod, withdrew, and Doctor filmins ushorod his two visitors into the room and iiointod to chairs, lils sorious manner evidently surprising them.

Colonel JInrshall wns the one, Ida son Baymond llio other. 'The former was all curiosity and excitement, As to Haymond, as ho sat ga'/.Ing vacantly at tho lloor, his hollow cheeks, iiniinlod eyos and dojeoted bearing gonorally told that the present visit had no inter­est for hi in.

"Doctor .Slmnis!" ejaculated tho Colo-uol. "Why! I came to seo "

"Mlas Leslie'?" "Vos." "Miss Leslie is a dying woman. Colo­

started to his foot. "Ves, she has boon ill for .some time.

"Doctor, you amaze mo! 'This strange lady " , ".lias an Iron will oven in doatli. Sho .b.is o.vplainod evorythiiig lo mo. Sho

With two twists of hor dainty but Buppio wrists, sho severed tho fatal doc­ument in twain.

"'These othor papers I shall keep for a day or two. Tho amount Is correct?" Bho demanded of tho lawyer. "Colonel Marshall, you aro free from debt and dread aliko. I trust w e nil know how to keep asocrot. I would liko to speak a'fow words to you alone."

Tho lawyer had wilnossod some strange scenes in his professional ca-roor, but tho denouomont of tho present luosplloablo ono left him speechless.

Colonel Marshall, like onu In a dream, lollowod tho woman who had mysto-rlouBly saved him from ruin and dis­honor from tlio room.

Then, realizing tliat ho had boon snatched from tbo brink of a precipice, iio roolcd to a table in tho enter olllco for support, and burst Into tears.

"Woman, angelic dollveror!" ho fairly Bobbod.' "Who sent yon horo? You have saved to mo nil I hold dear on earth. My tears, my prayers shall bo yours till my last breath.

"Ono singlo favor." "Namo it—oh! name i!;." "Ask no r,uestions, fool no obligations.

I only ask that to-morrow evening at dusk you come to tho hotel and to tho apartments of Miss Leslie, nnd bring

"Hero are tho notes she took yester­day. Sho bade rao destroy them in your prosonco."

"if you would consent to wod her. Nay, sir, dn not start. A dying chlld'a wish; you need not gratify It, only sho ha.s loft all hor fortune to yon."

"T will never accept it!" dissented Baymond, Indignantly.

"Tho law will make you. This jioor girl's devotion is pitiable. Givo lior your name, ro,iidor hor dying moments happy. It is not iiiiieh to do, for boforo morning you will bo a widower."

When I bciir men or women at­tr ibut ing ; i liick of success in itny d i ­rection to tbe uiachiniitions ot their enemies, I involiinti iri ly smile at the egotistical as.5crtion. People are in general too much engrossed, each by his own airairs, to make any very ac­tive war iigiiinst each otlicr. .Tealous, envious, rancorous tliey often are, but to wage positive hostilities, they aro for t;ho most part too indiirerent. This pronencss to attribute our mis­chances to enemies is luerciy one of tbe refuges of our self-love.

-V lillEAT (lOVEII.N'.ME.S'T lllIKEAIl. as tbo years go by. Not only Is the couiilry growing at a prodigious ratu, but tho fiiii;;tloiia of government aro be­ing extended lo Holds iiiilioard and un-thought of a few years ago.

Ifero Is a city ol' 2utl,0Ul) snula built up wliolly by government. 'Take awny from Wasiiinglon tbo public employ-iiiont nnd thoro would bo llttlo left. Every third family In lowii draws its support from llic Clovorniuent pay-roll ami tho olhor two llvo by supplying the wants of tho llrst. Sland on ono of tlio main thoroiiglifiires of the capital at(!;-15 in the morning nnd you fall to aoo the llirongs of peoido rushing to tlioir work which iiro»proseiit at that hour on tho Btrouts of olhor cities. But j cat two hours later evory sidewalk will bo Irav-orsod by crowds of men and women moving toward tbe doors of the great Government dopartmcnla. Five min­utes after 9 the &troots aro almost de-sorted. Twenty-five hundr'ed people have gone to tholr deskB iu tho 'Treas­ury Dopartinoiit, nearly two thousand 111 the Pension ollico, two thousand In tho big War, Stato and Navy Building, a thousand in tho Interior Department, another thousand In tho Govoriinient Printing OlTlco, and thousands more in tho other departments and burbans.

'Tho visitor to Washington iinds a con­vincing object lesson In the itnmoiislty of his Government, for after ho has mado a tour of tho woll-known dopart-montB and institutions, traversed tholr long corridors and soo/i literal acres of desks and square rods of open lodgers and records, ho sturabloB upon many other Government bureaus in unox-p'octod places. All over tho oityhollnds big buildings rented by Undo Sam and converted into hives tor tiio transaction ot his almost Inllnlte businoss. Scat tercd about each of tho principal de­partments are from three to a dozen rented buildings into whi&li tho buslncas of tho bureau has ovorllown after Illliiig Ibo space originally set apart for i t from collar to garret.

To toll tho truth, tho Govornmpnt I B rapidly outgrowing all of Its quarters nnd many of it's methods. Tho Capitol isn't big enoufili, notwithstanding tho rocont building of a million-dollar nddl-tioii in tho shapo of terrace, nnd adja­cent buildings lire bought or rented by Congress. The Census Offleo, which

nltno^cd has been thrown. 'The rosult Is that it liiiB grown to cuiiibersomo pro-portions. It is unwieldy, and a inovo-mont is on foot to tiiko many of Its burcftUB and organl .o them into a new dopiirtmont to bo cal led the Dopartinent of Comniorco. 'i'iiis would moan a now Cabinet olllcor, nud when Iho olllco is oroatoil and tlUod Us incumbont will find plenty to do.

Tho Keci'otury of the Intorior has \w dor his dirootlon B O many Inigo (Jovorn-ment concerns that he can give little or no attention to any of Uioin. Eacli, Ihorol'oro, beoumos a sort of indopeiui-ont. bureau, iioiniiinlly loiitrolle.l by tho Secretary, but aotuiilly "running wild." 'The tradition and orgaiilzittion ot tho doiiartiiiont nre such that the nominal lioiid becomes little else than a chief clerk. Ho must ationd l o s o much routine business In order to fulllll tiio law, iiiuBt sign H O many lottoi'B and iioiiiinally pass upon so many reports and doeunionta, that his energies aro Bpont hi labor alimmt entirely clerical.

Under snoli circumstaiieos it is inevit­able that more Important duties will bo moro or loan noglocted. While othor oiiiployos lliilsli tlioir work at-1 o'clock Hhiirp and hurry homeward, iho Secre­tary roiiialn.s till 0 or 7, and llioii lakes homo wllh him for o.vaiiilnatloii ami study inattora whioli he should have at-leniloil l o during tho day, liut which It was pliyslcally imposslhlo to ronoli.

Each of those titles sigiilllos that a vastdopartnioiit of tho govorniiieiit deiiianils his atloii-llon. '.l'he Pension Olllco pays out money to a million pensioners, in all $l.m,(l()(l,0(ltl a year; the land-nldud railroads in piirtionlnr and all railroads in general nre under tho liispoctloii of the railroad olllco; tho millions of acres of public lands, ngiicultiiral and min­eral, wltli their survoyB, settleiiionts iiiul litigation, form a rospoiislbllity dcllcalo from the luimaii and vast from ovory lit her point of view; !ii7,(l0li,tllMI a year is tho s u m apeiit upon the Jiidliin.s, Ulld tlieorelically all thn survivors ol' the aboriginal Aiiiorleaii raoo are under t'lc fostering caro of llie Secrntiiry ol the inlorlor, 'Tho Patent Ollhio lo a great ileparlnioiit In Itself, and so Io tliu (loiisiis Olllce.

K i i r m e r I ' ln i io j f i i i i ' s .MIIK:I I ! I l a n i , Once upon a time (and this is no

fake story) there lived, and st i l l lives. In Hodgson, Aroostook County, Maine, u man by the name of Patr ick Einnegan.

]\lr. irinncgan is not (i politician, as might be inferred from his name, but a farmer; and a reinarkablc one in some respects.. I t is oonshlercd tho acme of sticcesss in farming to make two blades of grass grow where one grew before li'iirmer Einnegiiii could do more; he could harvest tliree bushels of jiotatfies where one had grown. '.Phis strange result was not due to any peculiarity of soil, but en­tirely to iocation.

J:'art ol ' l i ls farm was on one side of the imaginary line between the United .States and Canada aud part on tho otlicr side. This iiiiagliiai'y and apinirently harmless line was a constant source of trouble and an­noyance to him, as i t has always been to Uncle •Sam—es|)cclally sinco Mc-Xin iey iiiagnilled its i i i i i K i r t a u c c . Tho farm aiiiuials, and oven the farm hands, could uot be made to under­stand the iiu|)ortaiiceof tills invisible line, iiiid would not treat It with jiropcr respect. Jilr. l-'innegan liad Icarnod, since he li.id been |)aying taxes in twocoiintries, the imjiortaiice of that l i n e Jlo knew that it was a sin for t l ic American side of his farm to have dealings with tiie Citiiadiaii side. Ie was a writl.mi law that the two ends of his farm should in no way recognize each other. Jn fact th'c United States ("lovcriiinciit liad olllcers j iatrolling that line to sec t h a t i ioti i ing of value passed between the two ends of t i l ls and other fariiis s imilarly situated.

llegardless of coiise(iueiices and of the fact that they were cheap jirovin-cial aniiiiiils on one side and valuable farm iiniinais on the other, above as­sociating wi th their pauper selves, the slieci), hogs, cattle, and horses would, nevertheless, persist in snulg-giing themselves back and forth acro.ss the line. ,Still greater trouble was caused when colts, calves, lambs, pigs, e tc , born on the provincial eiui of t h e farm, innocently following their careless moWaer.s, would attempt to bcceine subjects of the great United States without the payment of duty. Of cotirse, our Government could not tolerate such reckless abuse of its rights, privileges, and laws, and the great 'J.''rcasury Department, in sev­eral famous decisions, init its foot down on all such proceedings. Those decisions have had to bo revised sev­eral times to cover all possible coiii-binationsoC circumstances of domes­tic itnimals that stray into foreign lands when about to become luothcrs. I t is now safe to say t h a i a calf horn on tho Canadian end of Mr. Ji'lnne-gan's farm is expatriated, tiiough its parents are cletirly American.

Since 1890 M r. iriniicgan's hens, gce.se and turkeys have proven them­selves unworthy subjects of Uncle Sam. Keeping up their old habits they would walk, Ily or swim into Uanadii to lay pauper eggs, and per­haps hatch pauper chickens or go.s-lings, when these processes could just as well have occurred on onr own free and valuable soil. M r . Einnegan was put to endless annoyance trying to get back the di.sgraced barn-yard fowls without attracting the atten­tion of the onicials patroll ing the boundary l ine between the two coun­tries.

tatoes, to Jlr . .Einnegan, to be deliv­ered ab the cheap end of the barn. The charge is then made that Mr. Finiiegan would smuggle the jiotatoes worth 40 cents per bushel to the dear end of the barn, whore they wore worth U.'i cents per bushel. Tlie (iov-crninent olllclals discredit the whole story of the iiiagic barn, and say that it is only a kind of sinuggilngthat Is being .systematically, conducted along the Maine border. They say that i t is easy tosmugglc there, because there are but oiglit ollicors for 200 miles of houiidary. If the jury decides against Mr . .Klnnegaii, and convicts li im of the awfiil criiiie of moving pi'odiico from one end of his barn to the other, he may be incarcerated for several months and have a whole year's pi'ollts cnnllscatcd.

A t last, after many sleepless nights, M r , Elnnegaii devised a scheme that might possibly save h im much trouble, and perhaps even re­ward him for past trouble and ex­pense H c w o u l d build a barn on the dlvidinR l ine and keep the Canadian farm animals and products in the provincial end of it and tho genuine American animals and products In the American end. 'J?he success of the scheme was beyond Jfr. irinne-gan's raostsanguinccxpectatlons. I t had a magical elTect on production. N o t only did the .soil become more fertile, but products garnered in that barn continued to increase lu quan­tity. For every huiidred bushels of oats or barrels of potatoes harvested aud put into that barn the proprie­tor could take oub and sell two or three hundred bushels or barrels. Horses led through that barn might add $25 or even SuO to their value

Tho barn had proved a bonanza to its owner, who was enjoying such un­precedented prosperity as to arouse feelings of jealousy in the breasts of his neighbors and suspicions of fraud in tho minds of Uncle Sam's patrol­men.

The final .success of the experiment is now put l u jeopardy because M r . Einnegan is undergoing a tr ia l for smuggling potatoes across the border l i n e I t i s ' c la imed, and indeed is nob denied, that farmers in this country prefer to purchase, their seed potatoes from Canada. ;They think this the best means oC avoiding rot and ot se­curing an early crop. Hence there is considerable demimd i n the U n i t e d •States, even when our potato crop is fair, - for New. Brun.swick and Nova Scotia potatoes. This demand con­tinues in spite of the 25,'cents per bushel duty placed- on potatoes .by our late 'jVm. McKinloy , .Tr. Of

•course'the duty makes pro vl ncial pp-. tatoes"wiirth 25 cents less.than when transported to the :Uriited' States. •

Wllletb Gray's •Statistical Sti,'.'ar Trade .loiiriinl of ,'lan. II) prints a let­ter from J l r . 11. W. Wiley, chemist In the JJepartiiient of Agriculture, to the Secretary of Agriculture, on the subject of sugar bounties. J lr . W i ­ley says:

'".l.'lie present actual cost of the pro­duction of beet, c.aiio and sorgliiini sugar in tlic United States is almost the same I'or e v e r y variety, and is perliaps a. trille over four cents per pound, '.['he market value of the raw sugiir so pi'oiliiced is about three cents a pound, deducting the freights. If, tlici'cforc, sugar remiiins on the tree list, and the bounty is removed, it ivould ciiu.sc the prodiK ' crs in this country a net loss of one cent a jioii iKl on every pound of sugar made, 'l.'he immediate resii ltof such a policy would lie the closing of every sugar house in the United States, and the utter destriicti(/ii of the sugar indus­try.

"If the bounty is removed a diiliy should he placod on sugar of abmit one and one-half cents, in order tliab the manul'actiirc may he iirolltiiblc.

"It is notdill lculb lo foresee tlmt in from ten to llft,ceii years, tlie time appointed by the law I'or (ihc coiitinii-atioii of bhe bounty, tlio cost of sugar production In this country would be .so-red need as to render jiossible tlie iiiaiiiifacture of sugar at a, jirollb without nny protection whatever; but In tlio present status of t,hc industry such a coi.'stituiiiatioii i.s impossible at once.

"Tl ic sugar industry of the country, therefore, depends for its existence upon the wisdom of Congress in deal­ing wit l i the subject"

h'or iOO years t h e iirotectod lndu.s-tries have been asking for a few more years of governmental aid to enable them to stand alone. A n d all this time tlicy have been iiSAlng I'ol', and obtaining, only temporarily, of course, higher and higher duties. Duties of from 5 to 10 jier cent liave been mul­tiplied h y i n , 15 or 20. Mr. Wiley must liiivc been a poor student of hbstoryifhe really thinks that iiny protected infant industry wil l ever be quite ready to leave olT its pap.

But, aside from the unwarranted promises, what a state of alfaii's is re­vealed by tills letter. A n industry half a century old, that has received during tiie past t l i i r ty years directly and indirectly over $100,000,000 .as a gratuity i'or iirodiicing what has sold for perhaps .5200,000,000 cannot con­tinue its existence, it is said, unless aided by a bounty of ,'{.'! per cent, of the selling price of the product This beggar, aftor pocketing its many mi l l ­ions of ill-gotten gifts, now shows its appreciation by brazenly asking the United States to compel its (J5,000,000 of people to go down in tlicir pockets, during the next ten or flfteon years, to the ex1;ent of from $150,000,000 .to $500,000,000, for the bcnelltof this great beggar indtistry-^that is, of the BOO or 700 growers of cane, sorghum and beets, who now get the .IHO,000,-000 or ,$12,000,000 a yc;ir bounty,

What, now, aro .•-•onic of the evil consequences of trying to stimulate an industry here that would probably thrive about as well without stimu­lants?

In the llrst place, protection has in­creased tbe cost of sugar during the last twenty years alioiit 75 per cent 'Phis, besides adding several dollars a year to the coat of l iv ing for the average family, has crippled and pre­vented or destroyed many important industries. The canning industry alone, i f i t had had cheap sugars, would now be lifty times as great as the whole sugar producing industry. 'The United States has unrivaled fa­cilities for producing vegetables, fruits, corn, llsh, meat, ete, and should supply the world wi th canned goods. W i t h b i g and prosperous can­neries In a l l parts of this country, o u r farmers would have certain and reliable markets for surplus products now wasted; Many crops now often sold at a loss would then yield large pro/Its, and farmers would be pros­perous where .they arc now on their way to the poorhoiiscr-not GOO or 700 farmers merely, but several m i l l ­ions of ithcm. England now is the' ponter of supply of canned gotids.for t h e whole world, because^Germany and France have been paying heavy bounties on sugar produced and cx' ported, and bccau.se h e r canners have had free sugar, glass and t i n .

The .European cou'ntrles now p'ay about $45,000,000 a year to encourage t h e exportation of sugar, \and to en­able outside, countries to get sugar bolbw.thC: actual co§t of production. England, irioro sensible than t h e TTnltiO.d S t a t o s . ' flnf>S n o t r n . f n s n tf^ a c -

The Cordage 'J'radft.iournal, of iTan. 15, reiiriiits a couple of letters from "('"airplay," of London, which Indl catc that the National Cordage C a , ol the United States, is making bids foi i'Jngllsh trade anil that the l.iritisli manuractiirers are getting scared. It appears that cordage, twine, etc., ari! made Just as clicaply on one side of the At lant i c us mi the other side but t i iat the Nat ional Cordage Co.

"hits adojited ad-vaiilagcods means of .si]ue(;zing better value out of the lieailien Chinee or sonic other fellow in the .Pli i l lpii l i ios."

Conditions have not iiiaterlnlly clian'^'cd since J l cKlnley left an aver­age duty of about 2 cents ]ier pound on rope, twli ie , etc. There was then no jiisti'ca.soii for leavlngany dutyon cordiige 'Pl iooi i ly apparent reason, j iistilled by the fact thnt the trust lias since iiiiidc.

'I'liis the trust liasdoiie. In 1SS-S and, 1 SSI) the aver­age dilVerencc in tlic prices of niaiii l i i ; i i id i i ianil i i cordage was l.S-l cents ])er pound. Since ISSi) the diirei'cnco lias averaged over .'I ceil Is.

'Pliat the trust is i i iaki i ig unusual iU'iillts is cieiir. Jt has been paying a (livideiid ot 10 j i e rcent on its com­mon and S ])er cent on its [ircl'crred stock, while i t lias been paying ex­orbitant jirices I'or now plants, nearly half of which it holds idle, besides paying big sums ($200,000 In one case) to outside iiiaiiufiictiirers of cordage and of cordage miicliincry to keep'tlieir plants clewed, '.riie price of its stock al.so indicates great jirof-its. Its coiiiinoii stock sold in 181)1 from 7;i:; to 104. A t tiic end of 1S02 it was (iiioted a t ' 138, iiiul Jan. 20, iSO.'i, at 143^ Jll December 1S!I2. the trust voted to increase its capital from !iii5,000,(l00 l;o $25,000,000 both for the jiiirjinse ot milking its div i ­dends look smaller and to make its stock a better suhjoct for speculation in ^Viill street, 'll'lie reason why the extra stock has nut been issued, so rumor says, is because the large hold­ers arc wait ing until they can bul l the stock tn tho highest pessible polnt--150 if passible—so that the common stock, after i t is watered, w i l l .sell I'or about 100.

No two years hiivo been as prolific of trusts as tbo.sooti891 and 1802. 'The advantages of the Mclvinlcy l a r i f l law to trusts aro just begin­ning to be appreciated hy many in­dustries, and though that trust-pro­tecting measure has only six months or a year longer to run, yet new trusts are forming as rapidly as ever to get what bencllts can be derived from the tag-end of. M'clvinleyisiu. 'The Iron Age of •ian. iO mentions some ot the trusts now forming or just completed in Its l i n e I t says:

"Consolidation seems bound to be­come tlie wntchwoi'd in many de­partments of industry. Sessions have been held in Chicago by the wire rod and wire maniitacturcrs, at which a representative of the largest wire plant presided, and a S t Louis pro­ducer acted as Secretary. 'The meet­ings arc over, and further negotia­tions w i l l he carried on by cor-responence , 5 0 1 0 0 of the cut nail manufacturers east of the Alleghany mountains arc also talking of closer relations, 'l'he brass and copper mak­ers arc .said to be near the successful issue of their negotiations, and a cop­per wire consolhlation is well ad­vanced toward its consummation. The Western cast-iron pipe i'ouudi'ies arc to meet to-day."

Should increased revenues be need-, ed i t is going to be very hard to sup­ply them. Thevyhisky, which seemed to oiler so simple a remedy, has bccu rendered unavailable by the whisky milkers, who, in hope ot prollt, have manufactured so largely that . a ' lull two or three years' supply w i l l be in bond before any additional tax can take cllect. Whisky cannot yield ad­ditional revenue, therefore, for two years to come Coffee and tea, which arc altogcthcir iinpdrted, and raw sugar, of which (Ivo-sixths is im­ported, are ideal subjects of reVcnue-tariir taxation; but no Congress w i l l restore the tax on these unt i l the people shall have been reconciled to a, small Increasc.Jn consideration of a t a r i l l change giving them cheaDcr clothing and blankets. - I n view of these conditions the minds ot a l l the Democratic leaders seem more and more turning ,to a graduiited tax 011 large incbines' as. a source,of more r e v e n u e — N .
