BEWARE OF THE TRUSTS.

Ever and anon it shows up that the
trusts are in the financial dumps. Stocks
are quoted as mot sought after" or Gin
a feverIsh condition" Advances are
but temporary and usually from causes
which are nothing more than pure i'll
ventions for the sole purpose of infiu-
encing the market. A characteristic Of
these fancy investments is that they are
not intended to be permanent. Mort
gage or bond securities are usually taken
for permanent investment. Where the
security is ample the investor is
willing to accept a very moderate
rate of interest. 1t is needless to say
this is owing to his confidence in the Sc
curity and the certainty that at a given
date he will secure tee principal in cash.
1t is not so with shares based upon what,
at least. is only an experiment. The
combine is new feature in commerce
an innovation upon the cid well tried
principles which determine what are
profit sharing investments. IL is largely
built upon hypothesis, and, of neces-
IL
Phenomenal earnings for given period
are not necessarily conclusive that
they are to be permanent. The expenses
and lealIages of a new system are
not fully known. The ability and
capacity for conducting great enter
prises from central point is an exper-
iment The capacity and integrity of
managers are TO be tried. 1t has been
dem onstrated that the successful opera
tor on limited scale falls down with
the management of several such con-
Germs consolidated.
Perhaps TIE greatest element of
danger to the combine Is the growing
antagonism of the general public. 1t
is not only public di>approval but open
hostility which confront these new
methods. Il Is outspoken at every
fireside, in the pulpit, on the
lecture platform, and especially
at the polls. These factors are potent in
regulating the market value of these So
called shares. 1t ould be hazardous
to predict the outcome, but under the
operation of these influences it would
be an anomaly IN finance if there should
be permanent demand for such stocks.
The gist of it is that the public is being
hoo-dooed and cheated by the smooth
devices of smoother men, and the sure
way TO lose nothing on their phenome-
nally choice investments is to let them
alone

HIiH AND LOW RATES.

"The service which the railways
render to each of US is to move sixty
pounds of food, fuel and fabric, over
100 miles at charge of less than q
cents" This extract from a paper IN
the September Forum by Edward At
kinson is grim satire upon the freight
schedule as employed in the west.
Without calling into question the cor
rectness of the statement as applying 10
| the whole country, we are prepared to
say no such rates were ever dreamed OF
on these western plains, where roads are
constructed and operated at less expense
than in any part OF the country. 1t is
an incidental expose of the carrying
| charges fixed for the older and more
wealthy settlements east. In other
words, it points to the Inconsistency and
unfairness OF charging three times the
above rate on lines which cost half
as much to build ard the shipper
a great deal less able to pay. 1t seems a
wearisome task to repeat and reiterate
these complaints from month to month,
and from year TO year, yet, while the
infamy is put upon us what less could
be done than TO proclaim the grievance
10 the world. We can hope, at least,
that it will be as seed sown in good
ground, and that the rate makers for
very shame will see the injustice, and
grant us relief.
The strange policy of railway cor
fty
wholly upon the development of the ter
ritory through which it passes, holding
a death grip upon the business of that
erritory-taking the profits, and keep
ing its patrons in poverty, is an enigma
which we have no ambition 10 try
TO solve. 1t is simply confiscation-
heartless, cold blooded, deliberate rob-
bery.to the extent of all excess charges.
1t is not rates, so much as discrimina-
ton in rates, that keeps US down. The
situation is aggravated still further in
this section by the lower schedules to
competing with us. 1t would be bad
enough TO make uniform lower rate
for all eastern and middle states, but il
is infinitely worse TO come west and
make a schedule which can but I'M
poverish one section and build up
another. The long haul of the vast sur
plus of our rich prairies is a burden at
best. 1t reduces the net profit, and in so
doing cuts down the farmers wages,
whether he be landlord, tenant
or the day laborer. 1t is suicidal to the
roads, and ruinou5 to the farming inter
ests, to keep up these iniquitous discrim-
yet scarcely a day passes with
out meeting somewhere in some traffic |
managers guided parlorS, to bolster up
and maintain rates. 1t is a few men |
against the entire west, and the freight |
have the best of it thus far.

lieutenant Thorn, and his favorite
midshipnan, Macdonough, made a dash

these pirates were for their hand-to-
