uniform classification Of freight for the
whole country, under a few simple heads,
with rates lnhexibly the same for all
shippers, wholesale and retail, under
each head on the post Office principle,
and with rates fixed by the legislature
and cut down to figures which would pay
the legal rate Of interest on the present
actual cash cost of reduplicating the
right Of way and the equipment, would
twenty years ago have prevented the
confsCation Of the property of the many
who had to use the highways into the
treasures Of the few who owned the
highways. But not to-day. The mem-
bers Of the coal combination are Sismese
twins. Chang runs the railroad; Eng
runs the coal mines. Chang has been
charging high freights to ruin the indie
pendents; and Eng, also to ruin the in
dependents, has been selling coal for less
than oost-counting this freight extor-
ton as part Of cost. The net has caught
the fish. The independents are ruined
95 per cent. Of them. Make Chang put
down freights, as low as you please, Eng
will put up the price of coal. Coal is his
private property, and he has right to
do with it what he will.
The Syndicsting or bituminous coal
lands has also gone 30 far that the own
ers by combination and competitive
market wars could suppress all rivals,
and fix the supply and the price indie
pendent Of any help from highway privi-
lege. They have grown great enough by
that help to do without it, and to prevail
for the future by the mere momentum OF
the mass Of their millions.
RAILWAY PRIVILEGE NOT THE ONLY ROOT
OF MONOPOLY.
The coal monopoly sprsng out OF high
way monopoly, but like an increasing
number of monopolles is above the need
Of the ladder by which it rose. Private
property, masking itself behind the con-
venient forms of corporations, has
reached development in which, by
mere bulk, it is an irresistible instru-
ment of commercial conquest, which is
to say social conquest The few men OF

wealth created by railway preferences

masters Of the oil markets OF England

same Contumely they visit on the consti
tuition Of Pennsylvania, and two year
after it's decision, congress, in 1893
document No. 6, page s. found theil
rates to be so cents a ton higher thar
what the commission had declared to b,
just and equitable. The Independent
oil refner Of Pennsylvania and Ohio hRl
Jared still more disastrously before the
commission. In one proceeding, for more
than four years they have been appeal
ing for rescue from rates which are pres
sing them to death, but in vain. The
delay is "kilhng" they recently pleaded
but the delay continues The interstate
commerce law provides for the imprison
ment in the penitentiary Of those guilty
Of the crimes it covers. But the only
conviction had under it has been Of 9
shipper for discriminating against rail
road. No railroad man has been brought
to punishment for the countless crimes
committed by railroads against shippers
OTHER EFFORTS AND FAILURES, STATE
AND FEDERAL.
Congress has passed an antitrust law
many of the states have passed anti.
trust laws; there have been appeals to
the courts for redress under conspiracy
laws, and for forfeiture Of charters
Nothing has come Of all this legislation
and litigation. The sugar trust, the oil
trust, have been forced to hang out new
signs; in New Jersey one Of the leases
binding two of the coal combinations TO-
gether has been broken, but the sugar
and the oil, and the coal monopolies dc
not wane but wax.
The peoples energy seeking RELIEF
through the courts and Legislatures Of
law and order is either not 80 powerful
as the resisting and sinister energy Of
the syndicstes, or it ls asleep.
Prosecution OF the members Of the
local coal exchanges, or "rings," even il
ending in conviction, could but have the
effect of making the central power do itl
business through agents instead Of deal
ers, and finally through one agent in
stead Of many, for one can not conspire
with himself. This would hurt oul
neighborg, the dealers; it would not hurt
our enemy, the trust in New York.
THE NAKED ISSUE.

ing competition to regulate itself. But
the flames Of a new economic evolution
run around US, and we turn to find thai
competition has killed competition, thai
corporations are grown greater than thC
state, and have bred individuals greater
than themselves, and that the nRket

THE EFFECf ON LABOR.
Whether in Pennsylvania, in the Hook
ing Valley, the block coal fields Of Indi-
ana, Spring Valley in Illinois, the
glorious rebels in the mountain mines Of
Tennessee, these coal miners, anthracite
and bituminous, are the most wretched
slaves of civilization outside the sweat
shops OF oAt cities.
Congress has found document No. D
that the coal companies in the anthracite
regions keep thousands Of surplus labor
ers on hand to underbid each other for
employment and for submission to all
sxsctions; held them purposely ignOr-
ant when the mines are to be worked and
when closed, so that they cannot seek
employment elsewhere; bind them DIS
tenants by compulsion in the companies
houses 30 that rent shall run against
them, whether wages run on or not, and
under leases by which they can be turned
out with their wives and children on the
mountain side In midWinter Il they
strikes compel them to I'LL cars Of larger
capacity than agreed upohj make them
buy their powder and other working out
fit of the companies at an enormous sd-
vance on the cost; compel them to buy
coal Of the company at the company's
price, and in many cases to buy fixed
quantity more than they need; compel
them to employ the doctor named by the
company, and to pay him whether sick
or we'll; "pluck" them at the company
stores so that when pay day comes
around, the company owes the men
nothing, there being authentic cases
where "sober, hsrdWOrkng miners tolled
for years or even lifetime without hsv-
ing been able to draw single dollar, or
but few dollars, in actual cash." in
''debt until the day they died." refuse
to fix the wages in advance, but pay
them upon some hocus-pocus sliding
scale, varying with the selling price in
New York, which the railroad slides to
suit itself, and most extraordinary Of all,
refuse to let the miners know the prices
on which their living slides; fraud, says

companies practically when and
in what numbers they choose; and

one but their employers, armed as the
corporations see fit with army revolyers,

tectives by statute and not required to
wear their shields, provoking the people

SUMMARY.
"Ths carrier drives out both operator
and owner, obtains the property, works

vances the price Of coal to the public. 1t

REMEDIES.
EFFORTS AND FAILURE OF PENNSYLVANIA.
Moved mainly by the disappearance Of
free market, in oil and coal, the people
of Pennsylvania arose in 1873, and
adopted new constitution. To put an
end to the consolidation Of all the anth-
rsoite coal lands into the hands Of the
railroads; this constitution forbade COM
mon carriers to mine or manufacture
articles for transportation over their
lines, or to buy land, except for carrying
purposes. These provisions Of the con-
Btitution have been disobeyed "de6sntly."
document 4, page 49, "Thelrsilrosds
have defantly gone on acquiring title to
hundreds Of thousands Of acres Of coal,
as well as Of neighboring agricultural
lands" "They have been aggressively
pursuing the joint business Of carrying
and mining COAL" So far from quitGing
1t, "they have increased their mining op-
erations by extracting bituminous as
well as anthracite" Document 4, 49,
Instead Of enacting appropriate legis-
lRtion," as commanded by the new con-
stitution, to effectuste its prohibitions,
the legislature has passed laws to nullify
the constitution by preventing forever
any escheat to the state Of the immense
area Of lands unlswfully held by the
railroads. Every effort breaking down
to meet the evil by state action, failure
was finally confessed by the passage in
1878, by the Pennsylvania legislation, Of
a joint resolution asking congress to leg
islate "Ior equity in the rates Of freight"
and to this day the will of the people Of
PennsylvsnlS as declared in their SOW
ereign utterance has found among these
corporations none so poor as to do it
reverence.
EFFORTS AND FAILURE OF CONGRESS.
In 1887, congress passed the interstate
commerce law and established the inter-
state commerce commission to enforce
justice on the railroad highways, in the
language Of the committee reporting it,
without expense to the shipper, without
delay and without resort to litigation" l"

The Socialist Riots.

BERLIN, June 23.-The Socialists
of Lubbock are incensed at the re-
suit of the second ballot for men,
bers of the Reichstag, taken in
that city yesterday, which resulted
in the defeat of Johann Schwartz,
social Democratic candidate, by
Herr Goertz. Radical Unionists
made demonstrations last night
that soon degenerated into riot.
The worst rioting was done on
Creiterstrasse, where Socialists,
aided by large number of loaf
ers and wharf rats, wrecked a
number of shop fronts, with
stones and clubs. The police
charged the mob, which fled, with
out making much resistance. A
large number of rioters were ar
rested. The city is quiet this
morning, and no further trouble is
apprehended.

many friends at an excellent wine supper
given at his residence on Avenue d. The
evening passed very pleasantly and many

Mr.. Grunder has been in the city for
twenty years, and to that he won a re-
cord as brave soldier. He was private
in the French ChasSeurS and rose to the
rank of sergeant. AS a Chasseur he par.
ticipated with the French army in the
Crimean war and took active part in the

Business Change.

Mr.. C. n. Leroux is now the sole pro-
prietor Of the wholesale and retail hard
ware store, 22S and 230 Commerce street,
formerly owned by LerouX Il Cosgrove,
having bought the interest of Mr.. N. j.
CoSgrove.
This firm is one OF the oldest in the city,
having been established in 1865, and has
long enjoyed splendid trade, extending
all over southwest Texas and to Mexico.
Mr.. LerouX is an old citizen of San An
tonic, living here for the past 81 years,
has many friends, and will doubtless hold
and increase the splendid patronage the
old firm enjoyed. He has replenlShed the
stock with large and complete line of
new goods. In his establishment can be
found everything in the hardware line,
agricultural implements of every deScrip-
ton, barbed fence wire, castings,
tin and metal roofing; scales. windmills,
sheet brass and metal, cooking and heat
ing stoves, tinware, granite and wooden
ware, cutlery, mechanics tools, and num-
berleSs other articles too numerous to
mention, to be fonnd in first class hard
ware store. Estimates will be given upon
application on cornice and roofing.
Mr.. Leroux employees an efficient corps
of polite aud attentive clerks, and does a
strictly square and upright business. His
prices are as low as are conducive to good
business methods. Our patrons could not
do better, when wishing anything in his
line, than to give him call.
