COMPETITION vs.. COMBINATION,

Competition is not the life of trade. ~
Jay Gould.
The above statement made by Jay
could before the congressional inves-
tigating committee but voices the SEN
timent Of by far too many men OF
America to-day. The truth Of the
old fashioned. wholesome maxim, that
competition is the life Of trade, has
been practically denied by the business
methods in vogue among great cor
porations throughout the length and
breadth Of the land for years past.
Combinations and pools have been the
order Of the day. Large and wealthy
corporations in every enterprise and in
every line of trade have formed strong
combinations and have made it very
unhealthy for competitors who would
not consent 10 pool their issues,
and conspirc with them to maintain
combination prices. The laboring men
Of the country have followed in the
footsteps Of the corporations, man
ufacturcrs aud others, and have organ
lied the most extensive pool on record
the knights Of Labor. The result
is strikes and general cessation Of
business. What is the lesson which
this record tcachcsy II cannot be that
competition is or is not the life of
trade; because competition has been
given no trial. Combination is the
foundation upon which the business Of
Tie country has rested; and the record
II the past dozen years has fully cs-
tabishrd the fact that combination is
not the life of trade. Instead, it is
the fruitful cause Of bankruptcies, fail
urcs, Suspension, lockouts, strikes, riots
and the like.
The real settlement of the labor and
business troubles with which the
country is now SO sorely afflicted Will
only come when the drift of public
sentiment is away from cowardly, con-
spring combination, and towards
manly, independent, fair and free
competitions Those leaders who
have made combination their guild
ing star, have led the people of
Of the United States into the quagmire
Of general business depression, and
discomfort Let their guidance he no
longer followed The only way out is
"a face in an opposite direction, I'm
learn the false lessons of the past, and
mauguratc a reform in general business
methods

The La Crosse Chronicle has been in
the habit Of Stroking Hon. Wm. T.
Price with the hair and saving good
things of him occasionally. But his
absurd views on the tariff question
have evidently disguised brother Usher.
The following paragraph is from the
last issue of the Chronicle:
When Representative Price takes
a hand-to-hand personal tilt with Mr..
Rublee, he is in his native element and
appears at home When he talks taffy
to workingmen and argues that tax
alton of an article cheapenS it to the
consumer, he gets about as near down
to pure unadulterated nonsense as a
man can get by land. If two dollars
per thousand tariff tax on lumber
cheapened that article To the consumer
YOU would see Representative Price
and Senator Sawyer standing on Their
ears to get it repealed.

Congressman LaFollette deserves

Congressman LaFollette deserves
great credit for the manly and indie
pendent speech which he made against
the worst features of the river and
harbor appropriation bill. The con
Guiding words Of his speech as printed
in the record are as follows:
LET the committe report bill for
the improvement Of only such rivers
and harbors as the interest of national
commerce demands. Let them COM
plete Improvements already begun be
fore they commence new ones. Let
them break away from this plan OF
making a hundred new surveys each
year. Let them adopt a sound bust
ness policy such as any individual or
corporation having the same work in
charge would adopt. In short, give US
a national measure, regardless of the
votes necessary to carry it, and invest
this subject with the dignity and i'm
portance which belong to it. If this
house is not loyal and patriotic enough
to approve Of it the people in general
are; and the committe finally adopting
this plan will achieve great triumph"
Such bill as the one outlined by
Mr.. LaFollette would hardly contain
an appropriation for the roaring Pee
atonica as did the one passed by the
forty-seyenth congress, when we were
represented by that broad minded and
progressive statesman, the Hon. Geo.
c. Hazelton. The Democrat viii be
ever ready to give Mr.. LaFollette
credit for the good acts done during
his congressional life. We are just
aching to give him credit for vote
against the most gigantic Of all steals,
the robber tariff, which annually in
ilicts upon his constituents burden
many times greater than could the
worst river and harbor bill ever de

It is said that the Mormons living
in Idaho are beginning to understand
that the laws against polygamy will be
enforced. \ recent special dispatch
to The Chicago Tribune says:
There is a marked change in the
demeanor of the Mornons under arrest
compared with that Of those formerly
brought To trial. They are not SO de.
faint and insolCnt. 1t is evident that
the vigorous prosecution of the law
in Idaho has had its effects Some OF
those under arrest who have pleaded
guilty will rcnomCe the entire inStitu-
ton. Judge Hayes IS very firm in his
ruling, and has inspired all law-abiding
citizens with confidence that the enc
of Mormonism in Idaho is approach
ing"
Judge Hayes referred to in the above
dispatch is the new chief Justice fuI
Idaho, and is from Dodge county in
this staCc.

of from $3.50 to 5000 per annum, and
an excise tax of ten cents on each
