THE OTHER SIDE.

That the devil can often quote Script
ure in support of his arguments has al
ways been conceded. but it was thought
impossible for the trusts and combines
of modern days to find any authority
among the writers on subjects of pOlit-
zeal economy and constitutional law in
defense of new system which is popu-
larly supposed to be at utter variance
with all the forms and principles of a
republican government. In this, how
ever, the public has been mistaken. S.
G. 7. DoDD, solicitor of the Standard
Oil Trust, has delivered an argument
before the New York legislature rela-
tive to the proposed legislation by that
body affecting combinations, in which
he presents a most ingenious defense of
the Trust system, and, strange to say,
quotes most eminent authority in sup
port of his argument.
The public will be interested in learn
ing what can be said in the nature of
argument on that side of the question,
and it is for this reason we present
herewith an epitomiZed review of the
seen from the position occupied by a So
licitor of the Standard Oil Trust. 1t is
because the mammoth Standard Oh
Trust is popularity supposed to embody
all the evils of combinations and trusts
that its utterances in defense of the
system which it originated will be read
with more interest~than if TIE argu-
ment came from any other source. 1t
is taken for granted that this company
saws all that can be said on that side of
the'QueStion.
Mr.. DoDD stands out with the bold
proposition that the Standard Oil COM
pany is not, and has never been,
in any sense monopoly. A
monopoly is defined to be grant by the
government for the sale. buying, work
ing, making or using anything, so that
technically he CONSTITUTES mamoth cor
poration, like the one he represents, to
be only combination of capital and
persons without any grant of exclusive
privileges. Then he proceeds to argue
that combinations are the greatest bless
ings that civilization can confer upon
commerce and manufactures, and that
the greatest step forward which has
been made in jurisprudence in the last
half century has been in the partial re-
moving of restrictions upon combina-
ton. Coordination is a power for
good" says Mr.. DoDD; sit may also be
a power for evil. The power must not
be destroyed; it must be regulated"
His next proposition is that freedom
of combination renders monopoly i'm
possible. In support Of this he reviews
the history of monopolies under the
British government, when the right to
combine was denied to the people in
order that the few upon whom this
privilege was conferred should hold a
| monopoly. Massachusetts and Rhode
Island are referred to as the first Amer
lean states to free themselves from this
error and to allow all persons to COM
bine for manufacturing, mining and
mercantile purposes, and their conse-
quent prosperity in contrast to the con-
dition of those states whose laws forbade
such combination is cited to prove that
combines are in the line of public pol
icy. In support of these general propo-

Trusts and Tariffs.

New York Herald.
If there were no high protective duties
trusts would be impossible, because the
moment manufacturers here combined
to limit production and raise prices,
that moment goods would rush in
from abroad to supply the mar
ket. 1t is the high tariff, therefore.
which is the basis of trusts. The
tariff shuts out foreign goods; there
upon manufacturing capitalists combine
to limit production and raise prices at
home; and in doing this they necessar-
lily injure their own workmen, beca use
they deprive them of full work, and in
jure the people at large by forcing them
to pay artificially high prices for goods

WHISPERS.

Apropos of the Discrimination of Min
nesota Republicans generally, and the
State Republican league particularly, to
give up Mr.. BLAINE as a presidential
candidate, perhaps they may extract
some comfort from a little incident re-
lated to the Whisperer by st. Paul
gentleman recently returned from a
Southern trip. While in ST. Louis he
met Gen. KEARNs, who has been intl-
mately associated with Mr.. BLAINE
politically and in business way, and
who is supposed to stand nearer the
man from Maine than any other person
in the country, excepting. of course, the
famous "STEVE" ELKINs. AS the st.
Paul gentleman, who had not seen Gen.
KEARNs since before the last election,
shook the general by the hand he said:
1.-THE last time 1 saw you, general, you
said BLAINE was going to be the next
president"
''Well, so he is. think so yet," re-
sponded KEARNs. You think. then,
that. despite his letter of withdrawal,
he will be nominated, do your Il
certainly do, and he will be elected,
too"
Gen. KEARNs then went on to say
that each state would send delegation
to the convention supporting favor
lite son." that deadlock would then
ensue, and that the only possible out
come would be the nomination OF MI.
BLAINE by reclamation; ''and." he con-
tinued, she will sweep New York ike
a blast and be elected, without doubt.
The state league should make KEARNS
an honorary member.

A FOOLS WISDOM.

One of the many complaints made
against Gov. McGLL and his friends
by Republican dissenters is that where
they have made enemies the parties ag-
grieved have become lasting opponents.
A singular lack of tact, discretion and
the power to make an enemy friend
seems to be an important characteristic
of the present administration. Who
ever has dared to criticise single act
of the administration has been at once
put under the ban of permanent dis
pleasure. In this way the governor and
his associates have managed to separate
from themselves men who count for
something in the Republican party, and
whose counsel and wisdom has hitherto
maintained harmony. The manner in
which the governor was nominated in
iured him, of course, but much of the
been removed afterwards by him per-
sonaIly. 1t is doubtful if he could have
reclaimed NELSON or GILMAN. But
there are many Republicans in the
southern and central portions of the
state whom he could have made up with,
and done it without a sacrifice of dignity
or principle. If he is renominated, as
seems probable, he will have the poor
satisfaction of knowing that party ex-
pediency. and not personal popularity,
brought it to pass. 1t is some
what of humiliating position
that he occupies in being the first
Republican governor in thirty years
whose nomination for second term is
contested. by not only majority of the
party leaders, but also by two-thirds of
the representative newspapers OF his
party.
