Jones, In tho Haltlmoro Manufacturers' Kocord. J Tho largo trusts and combinations already formed and hoing formed by aggregations of capital arc consid orod hurtful to tho masses and thc common people. This is a theory. Theoretically, a thing may bc so, and practically it may bo very untrue. When wo speak of trusts and combines wc think of tho Stand ard Oil Trust, tho Sugar Trust, the Tobacco Trust, Ade. When tho Standard Oil Trust was formed I wa? paying forty cents a gallon for kerosene oil ; 1 am getting it now for ton couta a gallon. 1 was pay ing twelve and one-half cents for sugar several yours ago, but when tho combines sot in wo got it at live and one-quarter. When tho Whis key Trust was organized I was in hopes it would put up whiskey where the poor devils couldn't get it, but they have seemed to cheapen that down to where they eau pay the government fri.15 a gallon reve nue on it and yet sell it for $1.27 .J, which demonstrates that they arc making it and letting the public have it at about twelve and one-half cents a gallon. There is no doubt about thc ag gregation of wealth, with brains controlling it, that they can manu facture any article cheaper than it is or has boon manufactured on a small scale. Thc great railroad combina tions, many think, will ont ita up blood rare. Occasionally I get on tl little jerk-water road that is not in tho combination, and I want to dou ble my accident policios and bo sat isfied with a 15-milc-an-hour gait and console myself with tho iden that I can ride all day for a dollar, but when I get on thc Pennsylvania or Vanderbclt system of roads, with their schedules forty miles an hour, vestibule trains, with parlor cars, sleeping cars, dining cars, I have n hotel on wheels carrying me towards my destination, and all this for about two ccntB a milo. (Jive mo thc road that is in thc combine to carry nu where I am going. Public sentiment is tho safeguard which is thrown around all aggrega tions of wealth and all combinations of interest. Tho Standard Oil, th? railroad combinations, thc Sugai Trust are as sensitive to public senti ment as thc snow-bank to tho rays ol the sun. Trusts and combines wit not hurt thc public, but stockholder; and bondholders may suffer later on when these great bulky institution! become unwieldy and fall with thci: own weight. Fifty thousand mei in thc United States, perhaps no more, arc interested in tho gron trusts of the country. Those fd),(tut men know that there are 70,000,001 of other people in America, nm their wisdom teaches them when boundary lines are, over which tho; cannot go without peril to thcmsolvc and disaster to their business. Xi combination now says "damn tin public," but they have their weather cocks out on every prominent CU pol watching how tho wind blows. Of course, political capital cnn b made out of such formations o wealth, and soci.il orders may raia the black Hag to light them ; but am a thousand times more afraid o demagogues and politicians than am afraid of trusts and combinoi Good government-which means no only thc well-being of tho citi/.ci but tho overthrow ol' all that wi hurt the citizen-depends upon goo mon in office, and we had botter pa less attention to what WO call trust and combinations and moro attontio to those whom we elect to office i tho municipal, Slate and nation; governments. .Mr. Stead, in h book "If ( 'lirist Caine to Chicago speaks of the "Big l''our of Chicago and says of them that "their mcllioi are clean and their transactions n honest, but that in the road of thc success lies thc blood and bones thc victims over whom they ha* run to success." The succcssf man or combination means thc dow fall of other men and other ooinl nations.

When God made this wo Ile ma<le mountains towering ii tho clouds and valleys below t level of the sea; Ile made lukes :i oceans; Ile. spread oui tin- prnii of tho West and piled Up mounts around tho little valleys ulong t ranges of tho Hookies and tho Aile- ] ghenics. Io tho ocean's wators wo, find whales aud somo vory small fishes, and whoo the whale? como along tho little tish have to hide out. I havo traveled over this country from occun to ocean, and from Mon treal to Galveston, annually for twenty years. I havo watched tho progress of events and thc proces sions as they marched. I havo yet to know of a singlo instance whore combines and trusts hurt thc masses or permanently raised tho prico of any product. I nm a thousand times moro willing to deal with thc trusts and combines and purchase their products than I am to put my monoy into their institutions and imperil my holdings, conscious of their want of stability and fearing their final downfall. Of course theso groat combina tions affect legislation, if they do not control it in many instances, but while they may procuro legislation in their own interest, yet they havo ono oyo upon thc public sentiment all thc time, conscious that they can go just HO far and no farther. Herc and there they have shut down a manufactory or closed up an institu tion and affected some individuals, but wo aro not looking from that standpoint. When wc look at thc 70,000,000 of our population, wo say they aro only procuring cheaper and buying for less money these products than they could have done under other circumstances. With thc lina! disintegration of trusts and combines-which will in evitably come when financial disaster and shrinkage of values shall come of course, tho surplus of their pro duct will bo thrown upon tho market and only thc stockholders in these trusts and combines will suffer. As sure as that tho sun rhinos, whenever any institution becomes unwieldy be cause of its size and bulk, it will finally fall of its own weight. I am an expansionist, and I believe that one of tho causes of tho strin gency and shrinkage of values in this country is because we have not gone out over tho sons with our prod iuds as wo should have done. While lhere is :i demand for our prod note of thc farm and manufactory of this country there will always bo plenty of money ; but when wheat and corn and coll?n und all kinds of manufac tures aro a drug on the market, and no demand for them, then we have stringency and hard times. Hut when tho highways over thc seas shall be laden with our products into foreign countries, and thc gold is brought back in tho ships, then wc shall Ilourish perennially. These groat combinations are the only powers in this count ry that can do this thing for us. A negro and an old mulo can make corn and cotton ; a fellow with a two hundred dollar saw mill can make lumber; but only aggregations of wealth eau build ships and open markets in foreign lands.

Senator Jones, the National Demo cratic Chairman, on arriving in Washington, D. C., from. New York last week, was interviewed by a newspaper reporter as to the outlook in that State. Ile said : "I left everything in New York in satisfactory shape. Tho differ ences of Hill and Croker will not in anyway intorfoto with the result in New York. Tie? inlluoneo that their personal difforonces will deter them from supporting the Democratic ticket heartily and cordially is with out foundation of fact. Holli men will lend the ticket enthusiastic sup port whatever their personal rela tions may be." Speaking of the outlook in gen eral, Senator .Iones said : "Things are progressing splendid ly in our campaign work and ? am exceedingly hopeful. 1 lind that the imperialistic policy of thc adminis tration is being severely condemned generally. Their attitude in favor ing an enormous standing army will lose them many votes. Their posi tion on the trust question cannot be approved by the American people." M'OUI.I.OCH Pin U KKK rr orr. Among the callers at the Demo cratic Congressional Committee headquarters (in Washington last week) was Congressman I'. I). Mc culloch, of the First Arkansas Dis trict. ?Mr. McCulloch ligures out the situation as follows : "Il seems to mo that Bryan's chances of election are far better than those of McKinley. Thous ands of gold Democrats who voted for McKinley four years ago are in line for tin; Democratic ticket this fall, and other thousands of Repub licans, lo whom McKinley's imperial istic policy in repugnant, will Vote for I'ryan. "Bryan will carry all tho States he carried in 1890, and at least half a dozen of those which w ere carried hy McKinley. Thc Democrats have a good lighting chance of carrying Now York, but Bryan can be elected without tho doctoral vote of the Km piro Stale. Thc total number of votes in the electoral college is 447, Lt'our years ago McKinley had 271 and Bryan I7<i, ti majority for Mc Kinley of 05. It can be seen that a change of IS votes is all that is necessary to elect. Bryan. I ligure that the Li votes of Kentucky, 12 of w hich in 1800 WOl'O for McKinley, will this year ?ill go for Bryan. Of thc other States carried by McKin ley four years ago, Bryan will this year carry Maryland with its 8 votes, West Virginia with 0, Indi ana with 15, Michigan with I t, and Minnesota with 0. This will give a total of Ll votes, which will change from the McKinley to tho Bryan column, or 10 more than Bryan ! needs to tissure his election. Ile can fail to carry any one of the six States I have named and yet be elected." CASTOR IA For Infants and Children.

Thc directors propose that tho South Carolina Inter-State and West Indian Exposition, while nec essarily being on a smaller scale than thc World's Fair, shall exceed in beauty of grounds and interest, any thing ever planned on this continent. Thc lands secured for the use of thc Company arc so situated as to admit of thc.highest development and will lend themselves easily to the work of transformation. A splendid river front, gently sloaping towards Rut ledge Avenue, and with here and there groves of the grandest of water oaks-these aro natural beauties that could not bc obtained in some locali ties, no matter what the appropria tions were or how skillful the de signers and landscape gardeners.

According to thc Houston Post the growing cotton crop bid? fair to command a good price. Thc supply of the staple now on hand in thc United States, it says, is 280,000 bales, and tho supply in night, in all thc world is only 1,008,000 bales, or a million bales less than were avail able for consumption at this time last year. Thc present supply is BUflioicnt for only four weeks' con sumption, and "never before in thc history of thc cotton trade has thc world been so dependent on thc growing crop." With tho market bare of old cotton on September 1, and tho supply for thc 12 months following that date still on thc stalks, tho situation ns to prices is "undeniably strong." Nothing less than a crop of 11,000, 000 bales from this country, thc Post adds, will meet tho world's needs until thc next crop comos in, but such a yield is not probable. "Thc present indications arc for 4a crop of about 10,000,000 balen.' Such a crop would bo pretty sure to com mand 'at least nine cents n pound and might bring more.' Thc out look is good, therefore, for a pros perous year for thc South. Cotton ligures very largely in our exports, and a good crop at high prices, will help also lo 'keep thc balance of trade in favor of tho country.' " It is a pleasing forecast for tho Cotton States, to bo sure, and it can not fail to bo partioually encourag ing to tho farmers in this section who have good wheat crops in their bins, good corri crops ripening in their Holds, ami a fair pork crop rambling in thc woods.
