Combinations of Canital.

Combinations of labor provoke COM
binations of capital and Ulce UcrSG. This
is the age of combination. The spirit of
it is abroad. One of the latest s'com-
bine'' we have heard Of is type trust.
There are a number of firms that have
made large fortunes by the manufacture
and sale of type for printing purposes.
The love of money increases with its
gains. The accumulation of wealth
creates an appetite for more. Type
founders are not different from other
folks in this respect. Nor do we find
fault with the desire to accumulate or
with those who act upon it, so that they
do not indulge it Unfortunately or use i'm
proper means to do so.
The firms which have combined for the
purpose OF keeping up prices of type so
that they will not compete with each
other, expect to double their profits by
the formation of this trust. What that
means to newspaper and job Offices and
to printing establishments generally,
needs no long argument or string of fig
ures to explain. The effects of monop-
oily are the same everywhere and in all
branches of business.
This sort of combination is not against
labor, it is against the public. That is
why there is disposition to legislate
against trusts. AS the disposition to
combine in this way increases, the de-
sire and determination grows to check it
by the force OF law.
We do not approve of the interference
of government with any kind of legiti-
mate business. That should be entirely
free from such restraints. But when
trusts are formed for the purpose of con-
trolling the market as to articles in COM
mon use so as to compel the public to pay
extortionate or exorbitant prices, tend
ing to unduly enrich few at the expense
and detriment of the many, it looks as
though the proper powers of government
are not overstepped when laws are made
to restrain such combinations.
We do not single out the type trust as a
''horrible example, or one that should
be specially proceeded against, by any
means. But it shows the drift of the in
tent of capital and suggests the necessity
of public action for public protection
against its Entertainments. Justice and
its administration are rightful subjects OF
legislation. The common welfare must
be kept in view. And when combinations
are formed which are clearly against the
public interest, legislation will be re-
quired to protect the people and promote
those just relations which are essential to
the general good. Competition is neces-
sary to fair trade and monopolies must
not be permitted to "grind the faces OF
the poor" and gain grip upon the
| world

Imnatience and Ignorance.

One of oar country contemporaries that
is continually packing at the Democratic
party and frequently exhibiting an igno-
rance of political affairs and the genius of
American affairs that is both pitiful and
Iudicrous, is now agitated over what it
calls the aggravating slowness of the
Democrats on tariff reform. Dilating on
this imaginary grievance it exclaims: cit
is nearly six months since the people cried
out against protection with their ballots,
and still we are apparently no nearer the
free trade shoal than we were under Re-
publican administration.
There is one admission in this TRADE of
nonsense that is pleasant to note. That
is that "the people cried out with their
ballots" against the political heresy
which the papers from which our
country contemporary borrows its no.
tions, had held up as the essence of politi-
cal orthodoxy and Republican wisdom.
Yes, the people did cry out against it.
And the people have sense enough to
wait until the party they have placed in
control has time to make the needful
changes and establish the policy which
they want in the place of that which
they condemned with their ballots.
But the Stree trade shoal'' is all in the
eye of Republican sophists, and in the
mouths of their echoes. Free trade is
not q shcal, anyhow, it's a harbor. It is
the way to free ports which will one day
be open in all the world. But tariff for
revenue is only the John the Baptist OF
the final free trade redeemer OF the ma
tions.
Now let our Republicans friends try to
exercise little patience. If they can't
do that they ought to gain by experience

gets mad when the law OF supply and de-
| mand is limited at as regulator of VAL
ues- Potatoes will be all right to plant,
but we advise our farming friends to be
moderate with the tubers.
So with other crops which commanded
fair prices last year. If every farmer is
influenced by those figures to raise such
products in larger quantities than usual,
the result will be disappointment because
the supply will exceed the demand and
the market will be glutted, prices will
tumble and if silver should go up that
will not change the profit to the farmers.
We hope our friends whose fields are
within easy and cheap communication
with the sugar works will devote por-
tion of their land to raising sugar beets.
They form profitable crop. People in
the vicinity of Lehi intend to double on
their last years beet planting. They have
gained experience in beet culture and
know that it brings them good returns.
The capacity of the factory is larger than
its receipts of material to work up. There
ought to be a much greater supply of
beets from the farms of Utah.
Colorado is making preparations to put
in a large area in beets. The farmers
near Grand Junction will do this for the
Lehi sugar works. If they can afford to
ship them all that distance, surely our
farmers in many parts of this territory
near to the railroads can raise a crop at a
satisfactory profit.
The territorial sugar bounty has very
nearly become exhausted. The govern
ment bounty remains. But without any
aid of that kind, which is a stretch OF the
proper powers of government, if plenty
of beets are raised to supply the factory
to its full capacity during the season, the
sugar industry will be profitable to its
promoters and also benefit to the COM

No Need to Answer.

The appointment of Governor WEST
seems to meet with appreciation from the
press of the western States and Territories
irrespective of party. That is very graft
tying. From what we have learned of
the sentiment in the east it appears to be
about the same.
Our disingenuous and disgruntled
morning contemporary, whose Washing
ton correspondent blundered so much
over the matter. kindly intimates that
THE HERALD is not pleased with the ap-
pointment. It goes further than that and
states that it is tbitter pill'' for THE
HERALD to swallow.
That is just like our courteous neighbor
Wild as hornet over the way things are
going, it pretends to be glad when it is
swearing mad, and finding no ground
for an argument in anything we have
said, presumes to know the secret
thoughts of THE HERALD and to tell
what were our desires. If we had any
idea that the Tribune people really be-
lieved what they try TO intimate, we would
give them some facts that would greatly
surprise them. But we understand them
and their tactics very well.
On the statehood question they show
further evidences of being venomously
angry. Instead of meeting the criticisms
of THE HERALD they resort to PERSONAL
tiles again, which, as usual, are false,
and if they were true would not affect the
argument in the smallest degree.
