On The Wrour Track.

The conventions formulating the
constitution for the new western
states are, as is natural, developing
strong opposition to trusts and COM
bines formed to raised the prices of
commodities, or to in any way re-
strict competition. The trouble with
such laws in the constitution is that
it is just us likely to hit what is le-
climate rs what is harmful. The
law il aimed Mt evils mainly the re.
suit of other laws. The true reme-
dy, therefore, is the repeal of those
laws that give unrighteous combina-
tions the opportunity to do harm.
Very few. II any, trusts or monopo-
lies could long exist under free com
petition. Natural causes would rem
der them powerless to rob the public.
1t il where they are protected from
competition that they achieve their
greatest strength. These new states
ure on the wrong tack. Liberty, mot
restriction, is the cures for the evils
they seek to avert.-Detroit Evening
News.
