ANTLtfONNPOLY.

What il called the Anti Monopoly movement
made further progress toward defeating itself
nv the meeting at Cooper Institute on Monday
night Naturally, those who participated fail
70 perceive that the meeting did harm to The
cause which it was intended TO promote. Most
of them were sincere mud hottest the meeting
was large; and the conclusion of those " no aIo
for the moment incapable of seeing both sides
of the question involved would naturally be
that public opinion had already been strongly
aroused, and would by the meeting be aroused
still more strongly, to support some definite ard
needfu reforms. But the thoughtful observer
will perceive that no clearly defined or rational
remedy for existing abuses was advocated by
the meeting or its speakers. If he is sincere
and large minded, the observer will also note
with regret that steps in the last degree imprac-
tiCabe or unjust were advocated with o reck-
less and violent spirit, wantOn disregard of
private rights, and an obstinate blindness rs TO
ultimate consequences to the people rs a whole,
which better beft the Reds and Communists of
a bygone day IN Paris than the free citizens OF
the selfgOverning and prosperous United
States.
1t is hard to make narrow TefOImers under
stand that extreme measures usually tend to
defeat the cause which they are designed TO
promote. The "Native American " could not
understand that few ultra proposals, accom-
panied by a few violent and unjust acts, caused
a complete revulsion Of public feeling against
the movement to restrict the influence OF for
eign horn citizens in public affairs. The greatest
reform of the century-the abolition o. slavery
would never have been effected, had not the
L..
resisting the spread of that system OF labor.
The blatant demaROgism OF Kearney, and the
violence Of his followers, completely Disguised
the country with agitation against the impOrta-
ton of Chinese laboreIs The senseess and
unjust measures adopted by the Granger in
fluence caused revolution against the reforms
in. Transportation which reaOnable men desired.
The intoerant spirit and intOlcrable demands
of the Trades Unions, eliminating in the great
railway strike and the consequent riots aroused
all the conservatism of tho country to resist
and put do n q tendency which, il unchecked,
could only have ended in the destruction of all
rights of property and the dsintegIatIon of civ.
ilized society.
Mr., Black, the chief speaker of the meeting
Oh Monday, bases his whole argument upon the
assumption that railroad corporations Eare
public servants and trustees" The COMMON
sense OF intelligent and conservative men in
stantly rejects the assertion, and is revolted by
the conclusions 10 which 1t logically leads.
Trustees and public servants cannot honestly
make money out of their trust They do not
invest their own capital. Every sensible man
knows that builders and owners of railroads
never would have put dollar of their own
money into the business, taking all the risks

The Democratic ReOrganizers continue to meet

they refrain from any futile balances with

Congressman Carlisle is financial statesman with
an impressive breadth of intellect. He says if the
National banks, in accordance with the provisions
of the Funding bill. contract their circulation

popular indignation " That is an able view of the
situation. Mr.. Carlisle ought TO know by this time
that the Indignation of a Democratic Congress is
very different thing from popular Indignation.

His theory is that there VIII De row anyWayanu tnat

Will the Cabinet spectators be so kind as to give

his own choice within fortnight. and the public is
perfectly willing to wait. Motives of humanity to-
ward Governor Foster demand respite, if there
were no other reason. He has been bounced into the
Cabinet and out again so often that all the dignity
has been wellnigh shaken out of his candidacy for
any position.
Almost every lrstclass bore in the country except
Sergeant Bates and DR.. Mary Walker, has invited
himself to Mentor. If those two will now make
pilgrimage, arm-in-arm, with the American flag
floating over them, the record will be complete.

course, but the act was none the less I'M
proper. The abuse of paying these contest

in its way as the abuse of paying the people

The world does move. The lower
house of the Legislature In Arkan-

the Consultation so rs to prevent the sale OF
liquor in the State, and the Senate has been
contemporaneously engaged in the adoption OF
grave resolution, by IS to 5, that the name
of the State should be pronounced "Arkan-

sale of liquor has not been abolished In the
Senate. If the inhabitants of that State pro-
pose to take this matter up with any degree
of fierceness, the consequences may be serious
1t would be unpleasant for stranger ID Lit

the Senator who pronounced it "Arkansaw

II Congress wants to do one good thing before it
adjourns, let provide building for the Library
which bears its name The old quarrel about loca-
lions is likely to defer for another year the long
needed action in this direction 1t is of no great
consequence whether the building shall stand on
Capitol Hill or IN Judiciary Square. The important
thing is to begin lis erection somewhere, with
out further delay. The Library of Congress is the
largest and best in the country. 1t is the property
of the Nation and would be the pride of the Nation

Mr.. Blacks fundamental assumption is huge
falsehood Every sober and reasonable man
knows that it is, and is moved instantly to re-
ieet q moJ ement based upon so shameless an
attempt TO cunfscate TO the State the property
of individuals.
The resolutions adopted at this meeting de-
mand laws, in effect, assuming for the puDnc
complete control and practical ownership OF
property invested by individuals in an honest
and legitimate branch of business. Laws =" to
prevent pooling and combinations" though
farmers, merchants, lawyers, and men OF every
other occupation daily combine, in the exercise
of their right as free citizens, 10 secure FAR
return for their Investment of money and labor {;
laws "to prevent discrimination against auy
citizen" though every merchant, every
farmer, every lawyer, and every tree citizen ID
the land has the right to charge less Tor MS
property or services at wholesale than at retail
Tvs " to prevent paying dividends on watered
stock "a piece of demagOgsm fit only tor
persons who are too Ignorant to know that
rer cent dividend on a stock OF 500, 900, 900 is
precisely equal to 10 per cent dividend on
stock of SID, 100000, and that no law restraints
the merchant, the lawyer, OF the farmer from
getting 20, 80, OF even 80 per cent profits IN
year upon the capital invested by him in his
business laws ito regulate commerce among
the several States" which means, as here ap-
piled, anything that the greed and malice of
individuals may make it mean all these are
loosely and recklessly demanded by the resolu-
tions, without the slightest attempt to discrimi-
nate between proper measures for the protec-
ton of the public, and the widest and most
wicked measures for the confscatiOn of private
property
In truth, the public is not blind. 1t sees very
clearly the indecent and grasping selishness
which underlies great deal of the agitation
about charges for corporate service. How
much has the farmer reduced his charge toI
wheat, cotton, or pork, within the past twenty
years Not hundredth part as much as the
railroads have reduced their charges. How
much has Mr. Thurber, OF any other merchant,
cut down the percentage of profits in his charges
for merchandise sold Not q thOusandth part
as much, to say the least, as the telegraph COM
panies have reduced their charges for service
rendered. How much has Mr.. Chittenden, or
any other lawyer, cut down his fees for defend
ing a client7 Is there no combination
among lawyers TO make legal charges high and
legal remedies slow and cOsty7 Corporations
are often graspinG and greedy-yes! But so are
individuals, not rarely, in every department OF
industry. In the long run, the farmer, the
merchant, the lawyer, OF the corporation makes
the most money by giving the public the best
service at the least cost.
