Monopoly.

In commenting on the proposition that
the Government of the United States
should establish a system OF telegraphs
extending all over the country, tn De uu'
der the control of the Postmaster Gene
raj and 10 be managed as part OF the
machinery Of the Fedora! Administration
An ably edited eastern exchange put IN a
strong demurrer, and says there Is no
r1cnopaly so dangerous 10 the STABILITY ol
n5nuI4r institutions, so hostile to the
welfare Of the people. There is no means
of transacting any kind Of large business
so cos.Iy and SO Objectionable as 10 have
the same transacted by government This
was wen understood by the founders "'
this republic and the Constitution which
they devised and handed down 10 US Was
inspired from one end to the other with
the idea and the purpose OF limiting the
mower Of the government Of c0nhnlng II
only to the most necessary functions, ana
Of leaving all the other affairs Of the peo-
Ole to be conducted by them with the
leas, possible interference on the part ct
any and every set of political officials
On this plan Of non interference and pop
ular srlf government, the country mas
grown great and prospered.
Now, our anti-monopoly contemporary,
turning his back on our American ideas,
wishes to Increase the power Of the Gov
eTuinrnt. 10 extend It to the management
of teleGraphs, and To exclude and pro-
hibit all private enterprise III this line. Ii
is a most Objectionable proposition. 1t is
proposition TO establish, To strengthen,
and to perpeiuate the most enormous, the
most Irresistible monopoly that cali posi-
bly, be conceived.
Better dozen small monOpolies, be
longing 10 individuals or 10 corporations,
and alaays exposed to the attacks OF free
competition, than one exclusive, mighty,
irresistible monopoly that nothing can
attack. and against which competition Is
impossible.
