Total of the remaining pay-rolls, $1,- 975,000. How much then, has the trust saved by the combine? Why the difference between the former pay- roll and the remaining, $1,750,000. “We will increase wages,” says the ‘Trust, and.it does. so, a paltry 10 per cent. This will require $197.500, and this can be paid out of what has been saved by the combine on wages alone and have $1,577,000 remaining! Not only has an army of unem- ployed been turned loose, but the price of the product has been raised, as in the case of barbed -wire, from $1.73 to $3.00 per hundred wtthin a year!

But whatever the sum, it came from the trusts, combines and money power in general, which knew it would receive the benefits of special privileges, as 1t has. This money power is now go- ing to pledge itself, in the next plat- form it writes for the G. O. P., to de- strow the trusts, itself.

Gladiator Hanna has slain the tack, chewing gum, sar- dine and toothpick trusts, while Gla- diator McKinley is chopping off the head of the fly-paper trust. Among the enthusiastic spectators in the boxes are the railroad,, the. bread, sugar, Standard Oil and coal trusts. ‘In 1900,” says Hanna, “we will be against the dangerous trusts,” and those that are bad and dangerous ter”), keep control, and thus are the stock and bonds “watered” on which are of course the little ones.

Justice Mitchell points out clearly to assessors that under the existing laws, crystalized im section 1550 of the present statutes, franchises are reached by deducting irom the capital stock atits actual value, the value of tangible property, real and personal, otherwise assessed and listed. The remainder is the in- tangible property, which has its value in the franchises on which the capital stock, so to speak, is based, _ provided and lost all thought of the Shears and paste pot and the devil . which had been left behind to keep- the office open and receipt for any wood that might be brought inog subscription. After the banquet the party adjourned to the city hall and tripped the light fantastic until day- light. Friday morfiing a trip -was made to the state experimental farm, and other points of interest were visited, and the party left at 3 o’clock for Duluth, which place was reached at7 p.m. = Milaca Times. Grand Rapids was a surprise to most of the party, as here was a fine city of 2,000 inhabitants, and with all modern improvements .and fine pub- lic buildings. Their magnificent court house and school building are marvels of fine architecture. The town has been rather badly advertised by the festive lumber jacks who make their headquarters here at cer- tain seasons of the year ard it was very agreeable surprise to find that the impressions of the place given out in that manner were entirely incor: rect.
