REVIVING TRUSTS. *w»*s nj*. Tkat Shock of B«dado| oftbo Trt Oalhi. Many trusts were hit fiard by the new tariff bj|l and a few were knocked completely i out. The reductions of tariff duties on articles manufactured whs not radical enough, and the trusts that hare been in istress since last August, and been selling at greatly reduced are beginning to show signs of owed life and activity. In most s prices cannot be put back to where they were in McKinley days, Amt the trusts will do the best they can 'ander the circumstances. As evidence of what, they are doing, we note that one page of the Iron Age of Mareh 21 contains mentions of five or six trusts that have recently advanced, or are about to advanoe, prices. - The shot trust has withdrawn the per cent discount heretofore allowed to ton-lot buyers. This is the second or third advanoe made by this trust since January. The present price of drop shot up to B is SI. 15 for 95-pound bags, 50 cents for 5-pound bags. The price for 35-pound bags of this same shot was 51.40 in July, 1893. Several advances had then been made since the passage of the McKinley bill in 1890. The Wilson bill reduced the duty on shot from t}4 to 1H cents per pound. It should have taken off the other half. The bolt trust has advanced pricey about 5 per cent. The manufacturers of carriage and machine bolts, bolt ends, etc., decided upon this advance at a meeting held in New York on March 13. These manufacturers have had some kind of a trust ever since 1868, when they began selling from one 'list The Wilson bill reduced duties from 214 to 1% cents per pound. We are exporters and importers of bolts and nuts and there is no good reason for retaining any duty on them. ThjLwindow glass trust, which has been in a very bad way for some time, is getting together again with promise of better prices. The Wilson bill reduced duties on window glass an average of about 30 per cent If it had been reduced 60 per cent the manufacturers would have had to spend their time making improvements— sadly needed—instead of holding meetings to form trusts which advance prices and reduce wages. There would have been lower prices, more competition, more glass made, more wages

. puiu. The lead pipe and sheet lead trust announces changes in prices which are probably advances. The Wilson bill made a heavy reduction in the duty on lead pipe. The barb wire trust, which has been pushing prices up during the last month or two, is meeting with outside competition, but it is expected that the milt that is cutting prices will soon have all the orders it can fill, and that the t rust can then dictate higher prices. The tack trust has adopted a new price list which the manufacturers say “will correct inequalities in the present list by advancing prices on the smaller 6izes of tacks. ” This trust has probably made more and greater advances in prices since 1889 than any other of our hundreds of trusts. Every year it makes substantial advances. Since September, 1891, prices have been advanced from 100 to 300 per cent. Carpet tacks that sold for 15 cents in 1891 now sell for 35 cents. Gimp and lace tacks worth 16 cents in 1891 now sell for 37 to 57 cents. The last advance will probably add a few cents to these figures. The 'Wilson bill reduced duties on tacks from an average of about 75 to 25 per cent. Our manufacturers are exporting tacks and selling at reduced prices to foreigners and it is not impossible that these tacks could be reimported at a profit after paying 25 per cent. duty. It is remarkable that this trust is able to maintain present prices r with only 25 per cent, duty to keep out foreign competition. Possibly there is an international agreement which prevents European manufacturers * from selling here and our manufacturers from selling in Europe. Our total*imports of tacks in 1892 were valued at S3. Our exports probably exceeded $10,000 iu value. All of our manufacturers are in the present combine. Five o$ the largest constitute the Atlas Tack corporation. Byron W. Holt. THE SUGAR TRUST.

A Gigantic Monopoly at Its Old Tricks— Began to Advance Prices as Soon as Congress Adjourned. The sugar trust is continuing its business of refining sugar, bribing legislators, juggling stocks, advancing prises and making anarchists. From September, J894, to March, 1895, the sugar trust declared tha\ it was making no money; that there was but little protection in the new law; that * foreign competition was keeping prices ruinously low; and that the future for the refining industry in this country was very uncertain. When it declared its regular quarterly “dividend of 3 per cent, last December it declared that it was not from profits under the new law but from surplus accumulated before August 28. 1S94% Those who have watched the tricks of the trust during the past eight years and who understand present conditions knew that the trnst was simply playing a big game of bluff They knew that it made millions of dollars during these six months from the sales of sugar refined from raws imported before the duty went into? effect. They knew that the price of refined sugar was kept down by the trust—first, to prevent antagonistic legislation; second, to obtain, if possible, more favorable legislation; third, to prevent or- .£■ ders from coming in and thus to give color to the statements that the trust was suffering from severe competition. They heard that the trnst was importing Dutch sugars and selling small quantities at a loss to cause the quotation of prices on imported refined sugars that would impress congress and the “howlers” against the sugar trust. They knew and prophesied that •n soon as congress had adjourned the

trust would begin to advance pricey boom stocks :ind to deoisur* dividends from pare sent profits. Between March 4 and ? the price of granulated angar was advanced 1*4 of accent a pound. On March 7, the directors met and declared the regular quarterly 3 per cent, dividend and gave notice that "the stockholders of the sugar company should get it firmly in their mincls that they have a property of great earning capacity,” and that everything is saccharine and lovely for the future. Sugar trust stock advanced from 9S on Match 8 to 103X on March 12. Disregarding its gloomy forebodings for six months the Sugar Ti*ade Journal (organ of the trust) said on March 14: “As anticipated in our last issue, a further advance of 1-16 cent per pound was made th is week in refined sugars, bringing the price of granulated to ft. 86 cent per pound nett, which is still a low price, comparatively speaking. The demand, for refined increased under the stimulus of improving prices; everybody likes an advancing market and the end of a continuous depression. The season is favorable for larger business, and April to July are always good months In this connection we call a(p tention to tt»e better outlook, as given by authority, in connection with the declaration of the regular dividends by theP American Sugar Refining Co. There can be no question that the stocks of this company arc now regular dividend-paying investments.” It will be many months before the next congress meets. Besides, the trust does not anticipate unfriendly legislation from the republicans; it has owned them in the past, and It expects to own them in the future, in spite of public opinion, which it has so grossly outraged. The net wholesale price of granulated sugar is now 3.86 cents per pound, while the. price of rew (centrifugals) is 3 cents. The priee of granulated may be expected to advance until it is 1 cent above the price of raw. It may go. a few points above, but it cannot long remain there or importations will begin. At that difference, the trust will make, clear profit, about seven-tenths of a .cent on every pound, 515.63 per ton, or 530,000,000 a year on refined sugars sold. The trust contributed to both political parties iu 1892, and undoubtedly to the traitors of both parties in the senate in 1S93 and 1894. Its total contributions were probably less than $2,000,000. Hence its total profits for the first year will be 528,000,0001 As about one-half of this profit comes from the protection duty the trust has certainly made wise and judicious political investments. * In the meantime what are the people going to do about it?

FOREIGN SALES. The Sale of American Woolens In England —Effects of the Mew Lew. The sale of American woolen clothe at a nrofit in Bradford, England—the citadel of the great British manufactures of woolens—is reported to the state department by United States Consul Meeker. The consul says that American cloths, suitable for men's clothing, shown him by a Bradford merchant, had been purchased in Bradford and, that the representative of a New York house has just placed orders for American goods in Glasgow and Aberdeen, and expects to sell them in London. Why should there be any surprise that American manufacturers thus boldly attack the British lion in his favorite den—the center not only of British but of the world’s woolen manfacture and woolen trade? Did hot the Wilson tariff law give our manufacturers free wool more than six months ago? That law lifted directly vast loads from all our woolen industries, enabling them to procure far cheaper and more suitable wools, while indirectly it reduced all other expenses which enter into the cost of production. England, after clothing her own people, exports and sells annually woolens to the value of 8120,000,000 or more. The United States, though manufacturing annually $300,000,000 worth of woolens, has been until now prevented by our own high tariffs from competing in foreign markets, and hence our exports of woolens have been insignificant. Now, however, thanks to the I Wilson free wool bill, American wool- ; ens will have an entrance into the I markets of every nation on the globe, and the new trade will eventually be*, come enormously profitable to our manufacturing classes.—N. Y. Herald.

I* McKinley a Protectionist? It is alleged that Gov. McKinley has modified his tariff views and will taka the first suitable opportunity to declare the extent of his backsliding. Unquestionably there has been a decisive change in public opinion with reference to the propriety of levying prohibitory duties under the. pretense of collecting revenue. There will be no effort to fig^it that battle over again either by re-enacting the McKinley tariff or by nominating Mr. McKinley for president with “protection for the sake of protection” as the war cry. None the less, Mr. McKinley must stand by his guns. His strength liea altogether in his unflinching advocacy of out-and-out and up-to-date protectionism. If he shall turn tail on his record, that will be the end of him.— Philadelphia Record. American Carpet* Abroad. The consul of the United States at Zorich reports that there are no carpet factories in Switzerland and expresses the opinion thftt that country and1 other parts of Europe are an inviting field foruur carpet manufacturers. As mairTIfaelfurers here have for more than a year been selling their carpets advantageously in London and other English cities, in open competition with English carpets, and have also beet; able to compete with the English makers in Australia and other distant countries, wedo not see why they should not sell on the continent of Europe. In fact, the consul at Zurieh says that Amerinean carpets have ah reariy entered the Swiss market.—X Y. Times.

FARM AND GARDEN. TRANSPLANTING TREES. S«w to Handle Then Altar They Bara Bean Property Dag Alton*. From the fact that so many tra-v planted trees either die outright >r drag along- a miserable existence for a year or two, it would appeal- that the: e is a widespread misconception as i j the proper care to be exercised in trail * planting. It is a common practice to tear a tree up somewhat roughly, breaking off the fine roots that are the most needed by the tree, and cuttin r off the big roots, because it is too mue'i work to follow them out to their tip i —and then to attempt to equalize matters by savagely cutting off the branches, leaving little but the stem of the tree,and even that usually has it stop cut off! This seems to me considerably like taking out one of a man’s lungs because his supply of air is to be cut off presently! A judicious pruning of a transplanted tree is all right and proper, but such slaughter as is usu

/r3! * ally made of limbs and the top of the trunk is, to my mind, a very foolish proceeding. A much better plan is to exercise more care and effort in taking up the tree, taking up a big bunch,of the earth with the fine roots undisturbed. It is the fine rootlets that feed the tree, and it is the loss of these that so often causes the tree to die after transplanting. The forcible removal of a tree from the ground is almost sure to tear off all these rootlets. It is best to begin some distance out from the tree, and to cut the turf carefully around it, digging down with caution so as not to cut off any important roots. When these are found they should be carefully followed out for a considerable distance and loosened from the soil. The most important care, however, is in getting up a big ball of earth with the tree, and this is accomplished by digging down about and under the tree. This requires some work, but if a tree is worth transplanting it is worth while to make some effort to give it a good start in its new location. The accompanying illustration shows a most convenient way to handle a tree after it has been properly dug about. A pair of wheels, with a “tongue,” h^s a piece of joist lashed beneath it. The end of the tongue, or pole, is then raised high in the air and the end of the joist attached to a chain that has been passed beneath the tree in two or more directions. When the pole is brought down, the tree is raised from its position and ean be gently bent forward to the axle, secured there, and cai-ried off to its new location, f Before being taken away, however, it will be well to wrap the ball of earth in old burlap to keep the earth from shaking off and disturbing the small roots. Carried away with wheels after this fashion, the tree can be carefully dropped into the cavity provided for it with the least possible jarring. After the loose earth has been carefully packed in about all the exposed roots, a generous coat of mulch should be applied, and some pruning of the top made, bnt not a severe pruning, by any means. Whatever wood is removed should be in the line of giving the tree a well proportioned head. Transplanted in this way trees ought to live and grow thriftily, and my experience has been that they will do so —Webb Donnell, in N. Y. Tribune. NEW GRAPE DISEASE. it UMh to tho Vdaecou.itable FaUlnj- CMP , of Xtorrloa. What is called by some a new disease was developed in the Lake Erie grape region of western Sew York last year. The Grape Belt discusses it at length. It is the unaccountable falling off of berries before or as soon as they have attained their full size. Profs. Bailey and Lodeman, of Cornell university, have investigated the matter at length. Dry weather at the critical time seems to have been the chief cause, though this was made more injurious by lack of potash. It is well known that vines require a large amount of potash in

ripening- their fruit. If potash is deficient and wet weather follows, the grape mildews or rots. If there is too little moisture for mildew the henries drop from their cluster. In some vineyards hist year the loss by shelling was fifty per cent, of the crop; in others it was not more than five per cent? The dropping of the berries came on late in August and early in September. Vines which shell their grapes almost invariably have leaf blight, brown patches appearing on the leaves. As the grape is nourished through the leaves the dropping ol the berries from the cluster was an indication that the vine had undertaken a bigger Job than it could finish. Even those grapes which remained on vines where the shelling was worst were of poor quality, though they grew to full size. Annual Loss from Bast Bonds. It is the simplest truth that tariff, silver, income tax. or any other form of national taxation, currency car revenue, is of far less practical importance to the farmer than the condition of his roads. It is a conservative estimate that places the loss to the farming community at $300,000,000 a year from bad roads. And this is considerably more than the tariff receip ts axe likely to he for the current year.—Chicago Inter

AN UGLY PARASITE. tfto* Ox Bat Attain* It* DmlopoMi lac • IPmuUu Way. We all know that there are parasites In human society whose crooked ways seem almost past finding out. They always manage to live on the labor of others, and sometimes seem to thrive by this means. The prototypes of these persons are found in the animal world, and it is the ways of one of these prototypes that 1 propose to trace out. This individual parasite is the ox bot, though not generally known by this name. In fact, when I looked over the exhibits of the Smithsonian institution at the world's fair. 1 was nnable to find anything relating to this insect for the simple reason that I did not know it by this name, nor by its scientific name, and 1 was unable to find anyone who could give me any information in regard to it. it was only after addressing Dr. G. Drown Goode, curator of entomology, Smithsonian institution, Washington, D. CL. that I was able to obtain any description of the insect. The main facts here noted were obtained from an article written by CL V. Riley, Fh. D., which Dr. Goode sent me. The most (hat is known of this insect by most people is that during the latter part of winter and early spring hard tumors are found on the backs of cattle, which, upon pressure, will give forth a grub. This grub is the larva of the insect and is nearly an inch in length! It was generally supposed by scientists, until quite reoently, that the larva reached this position by being hatched from an egg that was inserted in the skin by the fly, or was attached to the hair and hatched in this place from which it made its way in some mysterious manner to where it is found. That it was in any way related to the bot fly, the larva) of which infest the stomachs of horses, was not

dreamed of. After a series of observations, extending through many years, it has been discovered that the fly attaches its egg usually to the heel of the cow or ox and is removed and hatched by the animal's licking itself at the time it sheds its coat. The larva is very minute at first, only about one threethousandth of an inch in length. It is provided with hooks by means of wbich it is able to cling to the tongue and roof of the mouth. Its development is very slow, for in November, and later, it is found clinging to the esophagus, only about half an inch long. About this time a moulting occurs in which it loses most of its hooks, which would be a hindrance to it in traveling. It now commences a long and slow journey, boring through the tissues to the back of the animal where it is found in the latter part of winter. In passing the query might be started as to the character of the pilot that guides this pest in its vivisecting tour through an ocean of living flesh and tissue to a safe anchorage in the harbor, the lumbar region, of poor “Mulley.” Cases have occurred where the eggs of this insect have been introduced into the human system, and hatched, the larva having been found working about under the skin. A case occurred in the practice of Dr. Sylvanus Freeman, of Smithport, McKean county. Pa., who was called to attend a child supposed to be suffering with erysipelas. The child suffered with pain such as to prevent its sleeping at night, caused by something working under the skin. This worm, or “polywog,” as the mother ealled it, had been noticed five months before near the sternal end of the right clavicle. It had traveled up and down the chest in front, down the arm to the elbow, and over one side of the back. Similar eases have been observed, in Norway among persons who have had the care of cattle. These larvae, on reaching the back of the animal, bore through the skin to the air. The spiracles, or breathing holes, are at once enlarged, and here it lives for several months. It then crawls from this situation, falls to the ground, where it lies in the chrysalis state from three to six weeks, when the fly, about half an inch long, of a dark color, more or less densely clothed with yellowish-white, reddish and brownish-black hairs, emerges. .

Between every second row of plants is laid, a few inches below the surface, a row of drain tiles, the first one in each* row coming to the surface. With a hose each row of tile can be filled in a moment, and the water will be absorbed by the earth and reach the roots of the plants as needed, and there will be no baking of the surface soil. If desired the first row of tile could be extended around through the varous rows and the whole filled from one point.

—Preyer, the German student of the child's mind, taught his son of two years to distinguish primary colors by means of small ovals each of a different color. A student of Preyer’s book has hit upon a less scientific but more poetical scheme of teaching the sam* thing to a little child by means of flowers and other natural objects. The difficulty, of course, is to be sure of uniformity of eolor in natural objects throughout the year. Even a very young child soon learns to dissociate the idea of color from the object itself when a yellow pansy, a red rose, or a blue violet is presented after a drill with different colored flowers of the same kind. A red rose and a yellow rose are quickly recognized and differentiated, and the quality of color is accentuated when a red rose and a yellow pansy are brought to the child's attention. •too Rorant, OlOO.
