Consolidation OF the Express COmpa-
MES. ha
From the cfnciHnat; Commercial Of Sunday.
We understand that after four weeks
spent in negotiations, the Express
Companies known as the Merchants
Union and American were yesterday
consolidated. The new Company is to
draw the same percentage from the
general revenue that both now do. The
object of the consolidation is to reduce
competition and economic in manage
ment. The result IL, OF course, the e1-
tinction of the opposition. In the name
of which the merchants Union was
organized and supported. 1t will be
arranged presently for Express Com.
panieS to make good dividends. and
then there will be more virtuous people
who will be grieved to think of the ex-
istence ofa monopoly, and in due time
there will be a new company gotten up
to fight the monopoly, and It will fight
until the chance comes to sell out-the
chance against the use OF which char
ters are worthless and virtue melts
like wax in her own fire.
