Their aim is to manufacture less and charge more. Bat if they make less goods, that means that they will employ fewer workmen, or give those they keep on leas steady work, Hencea trustisa blow at the workmen. If there were no high protective du- ties trusts wou'd be impossible, because the moment manufacturers here combin- ed to limit production and raise prices, that moment goods would rush in from abroad to supp'y the market, It is the highest tariff, therefore, which is the basis of trusts. The tariff shuts oot for eign goods; thereupon manufacturing capitalists combine to limit produetion and raise prices at home; and in doing this they necessarily ivjore their own w rkmen, because they deprive them of ful! work, and injare the people «t large by forcing them io pay artificially bigh prices fur goods.

FOR FUEL IN CHICAGO. | Ohicago, April 15.—Tt is stated that {the Standard Oil Company has com- pleted arrangements for a pipe line from Lima, Ohio, to Chicago for transporta~ {tion of crude oil, which is destined to {take the place of coal in the great mano facturing establishments, The negutia- tiona for the right of way along the line of the Chicago and Atlantic railway were concluded in New York. Gangs of men are working westward from Lima dis tributing the pipe preparatory to digging along the north side of the track th trench in which it will be laid The estie ma‘ed cost of the line, without the pumping machine and reservoirs, is about $7,000 per mile. The to'al length of pipe will be about two hundred and ten miles, and the en< tire investment will aggrega‘e about $2, 260,000. The Standard practically con- trols all the oil territory around Lima, and it is intimated that for three months it bas had its agents out prospecting and leasing all oil indicating property in the vicinity of Montpelier, about thirty miles south of Huntington, st emsert otfidmtmmm—— During the war it was said one could not throw a stick in Washington with. oat hitting a brigadier general.
