A Newspaper Trust.

Philadelphia, Pa., special: D. L. Ward, the local agent for a number of out-of-town paper mills, said to-day that, a news paper trust was an assured thing. The trust, be said, would have a capital stock of $35,000,000. and is intended to have a monopoly of the industry. Ho said that a slightly increased price is already demanded. 'News paper has already advanced from $2 to $3,” said he, ‘ but this is due to a scarcity of water, as the large news paper manufacturing mills are run by water power.” The tifty-four mills expected to enter the combine have a total capacity of 3,020,000 pounds of news paper a day. Put not your trust in democratic papers, that pretend to be friendly to the Populists, in order to persuade former democrats back into the party. Remember the Chicago Times, and beware of the Dispatch. The gold bugs will be in the saddle riding both old parties in 1896.
