GOOD TRUSTS AND BAD TRUSTS. "Don't say there are good trusts and bad trusts. You might say there are good kings and bad kings and thus defend monarchy. I don't care whether a king is good or bad—I hate a king." —W. J. Bryan, at Chicago, Sept. 10. The above declaration is very characteristic of Mr. Bryan, whose convictions owe their existence to sound rather than to reflection. If a declaration sounds well to him it seems true to him and he pursues his investigations no further. But there are good trusts, Mr. Bryan to the contrary notwishstanding, and we have some very excellent ones in California. The California Raisin association is as certainly a trust as any trust in America, yet it wrongs no one and benefits thousands. The California growers of raisins, before forming their trust, dumped their entire product on the market within a few weeks, competed disastrously with each other and, by an excessive competition, deprived every function in handling the product from grower to consumer of all reliability and stability. The packer, the shipper, the jobber and the retailer all suffered for no one of them dared to buy for fear his competitor would under-buy and consequently under-sell and so leave him to suffer loss. Many prudent men ceased to handle raisins at all or, if at all, in supplies that would last only from day to day. A bona fide trust was formed. Trustees were selected by the growers to handle their entire product for a common benefit. As sales were made each grower received his part of the proceeds and so there was an end to dumping the product. Money lenders, seeing that there was an assurance of stability, advanced funds on warehouse receipts so that the grower could borrow enough to pay his help for making the crop, the jobber was willing to buy because all jobbers bought on the same terms, the retailer could buy of his jobber with an equal certainty of fair dealing. The consumers' market was afflicted with neither a feast nor a famine and prices paid by the consumers were not hurtfully raised and there was a stable price level instead or an unstable fluctuation that prevented anyone knowing what raisins would be worth a week hence. The prune growers of California, having suffered as the raisin growers have suffered herstofore, have sought the same remedy and with success. The orange growers are looking to the same method of deliverance and the formation of a trust that shall embrace all the gowers of fruits shipped green is looked forward to with hopefulness. Not one of the trusts has sought to limit production, raise prices unjustly to consumers, crush out competition or encourage speculation in their shares, and as they have done none of the bad things which trusts do, and only the good things which trusts may do, we conclude that, despite Mr. Bryan's sweeping declaration, there are good trusts—good combinations of producers. It is the policy of the Republican party to afford every facility for the formation of good trusts and every possible means likewise, for the punishment of bad trusts, and for restraining trusts from doing things that are hurtful to society. It is the policy of Mr. Bryan and his party to destroy all trusts, the good and the bad, the useful as well as the hurtful. The Republican party would say to the Californian fruit grower: "Organize for your own protection, but not for the injury of others." Mr. Bryan's party says to them: "For fear that you would misuse the needful power for helping yourselves you shall not combine your several interests in one interest but shall fight until you bring each other to bankruptcy. We don't care whether trusts are good or bad. We hate trusts." Mr. Bryan is deficient in discrimination. To his unanalytical mind the doctrine of the divine right of kings is a perfect parallel to the doctrine of the right of producers to organize for their own protection, but a man having common sense, and an ordinary discrimination, is able to see that opposition to kingship rests on a disbelief in the doctrine of the divine right of an hereditary power to rule other men, whereas the trust owes its existence to a right to organize for self-protection—the first law of nature. In other words kingship owes its stability principle. The truth BUT IRRELEVEN The following declarations come from the telegraphing report on speech of Bryan's delivered at: "You can no more afford through legislation than in spite of law. "The amount of stealing infinitely greater in this country the amount of stealing in viii law. "No citizen can afford to bad law because he gets the best. "Rule men by love and need a large standing army. "You can't acquire title to purchase. "You can't whip a man own him. "If you would make men them up, don't strike them do. "You can't tolerate monopoly tendency necessarily is to give wealth of the country into fewer hands. "Let our government be that not the master of the people every man will die if need be that government." Mr. Bryan is an artist in platitudes. All the sayings added are wise, and were just as a century ago as they are today as applicable fifty years ago are today—but they don't get why Mr. Bryan should be elected, though he adroitly made service to that end. Mr. Bryan is artful. By the mouthing of old priests to leave the impression minds of his hearers that they can party stands for legalized for ruling men with severity; ing the Filipino like chattels ering monopoly, for making ment into royalty to rule with power. He would not dare such charges directly. It was credit him to do so, but with art, he uses all the old can be dug out of the literature nursery room just as though controverted by his opponents. Such conduct may be conceal artful. It may even be regarded but it is not an attribute of great brain or breadth of mind. Itsible to imagine President L stand before an audience o up men and women and deliver Everybody Knows About Pain-Killer A Household Medicine A Safe and Sure Cure for Cramps, Coughs Bruises, Diarrhoea, Colds, Burns, Sprains and Strains. Gives instant relief. Two sizes, 25c. and 50c. Only one Pain Killer, Perry Davis'. Jordan's "AAAI" brand of Cutlery: Quality, Quality—best possible. Mr. Bryan is deficient in discrimination. To his unanalytical mind the doctrine of the divine right of kings is a perfect parallel to the doctrine of the right of producers to organize for their own protection, but a man having common sense, and an ordinary discrimination, is able to see that opposition to kingship rests on a disbelief in the doctrine of the divine right of an hereditary power to rule other men, whereas the trust owes its existence to a right to organize for self-protection—the first law of nature. In other words, kingship owes its origin to a wrong principle. The trust owes its existence to a perfectly correct principle. A good king can not cure the wrong principle to which he owes his kingly office. A bad trust cannot vitiate the true principle to which it owes its origin. The trust is good or bad according to its acts, just as an individual is good or bad according to his acts, and the trust will have to be controlled as men are controlled, permitted to do right, but punished for a wrongful use of power. This is perfectly plain on reflection, but the weakness of Mr. Bryan is that he is not given to reflection. He talks so much that he affords himself no time for thought. He means well but knows so little that he would be more mischievous in the presidential office than Boss Croker, who would mean worse but who knows more. Mr. Bryan presents to the view a very imposing front elevation, but his intellectual depth does not exceed the depth of his personal beauty. Can you spare a few dollars a month?

The following declarations are taken from the telegraphing report of a single speech of Bryan's delivered at Chicago: "You can no more afford to steal through legislation than in spite of legislation." "The amount of stealing by law is infinitely greater in this country than the amount of stealing in violation of law." "No citizen can afford to support a road law because he gets the benefit of it." "Rule men by love and you don't need a large standing army." "You can't acquire title to people by purchase." "You can't whip a man and then down him." "If you would make men great lift them up, don't strike them down." "You can't tolerate monopoly. Its tendency necessarily is to gather the wealth of the country into fewer and fewer hands." "Let our government be the servant, not the master of the people. Then every man will die if need be to protect that government." Mr. Bryan is an artist in the use of palatitudes. All the sayings above quoted are wise, and were just as true half a century ago as they are today, and must as applicable fifty years ago as they are today—but they don't go to show why Mr. Bryan should be elected president, though he adroitly makes them do service to that end. Mr. Bryan is artful. By the mouthing of old proverbs he seeks to leave the impression on the minds of his hearers that the Republican party stands for legalized robbery, or ruling men with severity, for buying the Filipinos like chattails, for fostering monopoly, for making government into royalty to rule with despotic power. He would not dare to make such charges directly. It would discredit him to do so, but with infinite art, he uses all the old proverbs that can be dug out of the literature of the nursery room just as though they were controverted by his opponents. Such conduct may be conceded to be fruitful. It may even be regarded as cute, but it is not an attribute of greatness of brain or breadth of mind. It is impossible to imagine President McKinley standing before an audience of grown men and women and delivering with "A Good Name is Better Than Riches." Hood's Sarsaparilla is a good name. A legion of those who owe health to its blood purifying qualities laud it to the skies. It brings the riches of health to those who use it, in the shape of absolutely pure blood, the permanent foundation stone of health. Weakness—"I was all run down, weak and without appetite. A friend brought me a bottle of Hood's Sarsaparilla. I began taking it and three bottles entirely cured me." Mrs. M. A. Logan, 127 Post Street, Rutland, VT. Blood Purifier—"We think Hood's Sarsaparilla has no equal as a blood purifier and invigorator of the system." J. B. Best, Woodbury, N. J. Hood's Sarsaparilla Never Disappoints During the four low tariff years between 1893 and 1897, when hard times should have acted as a bounty on exports, the average annual value of exportations of domestic products was $839,207,199. During the past three years of Republican prosperity under the Dingley tariff, which the Bryanites would have the people believe to be destructive of commerce, the average annual value of the exportations of domestic products has been $1,148,748,-579. Doesn't that jar you Mr. Bryanite? "For three days and nights I suffered agony untold from an attack of cholera morbous brought on by eating cucumbers," says M. E. Lowther, clerk of the district court, Centerville, Iowa. "I thought I should surely die, and tried a dozen different medicines, but all to no purpose. I sent for a bottle of Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy and three doses relieved me entirely." This remedy is for sale by P. A. Derge, druggist. During the last three years of Democratic low tariff administration, when our country was at peace with all the world, and Democrats were reveling in a pretended economy, the expenditures Acquitted. Dominico Laurito, who was last week on trial in the Superior court, charged with having set fire to Smeltzer's barn in the Peatlands, was acquitted, the jury being out only four minutes. Laurito said he stopped working for Smeltzer on July 30. The damp weather was not suitable to his health, and he had notified his boss that he intended to leave. The morning of the fire he arose as usual at an early hour, and commenced to prepare for his journey. He took the straw bed he had been using and cleaned it out back of the barn. When seen by witness West he was just returning from this occupation. When the fire alarm was given he rushed from his house and started to the assistance of West, who, seeing him, threatened to cut him with an ax instead of accepting his assistance. West also accused him of starting the fire. This accusation and threat angered Laurito, and he returned to his house with the intention of leaving immediately for Westminster to have West arrested. It was at this time that he met Smeltzer and was detained by the revolver. He claimed he knew nothing of the cup and can containing gasoline and had never seen them before. When asked, "Did you light the fire which destroyed Mr. Smeltzer's barn," he said, "No, I could not do such a thing, because I never had anything against Smeltzer." A Minister's Mistake. A city minister was recently handed a notice to be read from his pulpit. Accompanying it was a clipping from a newspaper bearing upon the matter. The clergyman started to read the extract and found that it began: "Take Kemp's Balsam, the best cough cure." This was hardly what he had expected, and after a moment's hesitation, he turned it over, and found on the other side the matter intended for the reading. Off for South America. Fred R. Stange, who has been an employee of the Raah creamery at El Monte, writes that he contemplates sailing shortly for the South American gold fields. He expects to remain at least three years. "After this time," he adds in a note to the GAZETTE, "if I am alive I expect to return to Southern California." Stange is a deserving young fellow, and his friends hope that he may strike it rich.

Primitive man did not at first begin his agricultural operations by irrigating great valleys and plains. He commenced perhaps with a small patch of ground and a little stream of water, or planted his simple crops on the edge of the desert, utilizing the water of some small but perennial spring, or laboriously drew it from a well. Then later he learned to broaden his operations and work in communities, until finally he undertook great projects and accomplished engineering feats in the construction of canals, viaducts and complete systems which have hardly since been surpassed by modern capital and ingenuity.

It promotes regularity, dries the drains which enfeeble body and mind, and cures inflammation, ulceration and female weakness. It nourishes the nervous system and gives to the body the balance and buoyancy of perfect health. It is a strictly temperance medicine. "I can say that your medicine cured me," writes Mrs. Maud Pearce, of Stoutsville, Fairfield Co., Ohio. "I had suffered about twelve years from female weakness and I had almost given up, thinking there was no cure for me. Then I heard about Dr. Pierce's medicine and thought I would try it, and saw that sweet bottles of your' Favorite Prescription' made me well. I am now able to do my own housework. I took about twelve bottles in all of Dr. Pierce's medicines. Took some of the 'Golden Medical Discovery,'' Favorite Prescription' and some of the 'Pleasant Pellets.'"
