The staid old readers Of the Bellows
Falls Times must have opened their
eyes in astonishment when they read
on the first page Of that interesting
paper last week an interview with the
actress who personated "Trilby" at
that place, which was decided inno-
vation in Vermont journalism. Edi-
tor Belknap called on the actress at
her hotel quarters after the perform
ance. He takes pains to mention that
he found her in ''evening dress" but
how late in the evening is left to the
Imagination. He talked Trilby and
most everything else with the bewitch-
ing lady and must have had the full
benefit of what he describes as her
.'sweet lips" She weighs l56 pounds,
If Bro. Belknap's scales are correct.
She doesn't like cigarettes a little bit,
but has to smoke them in the play be-
cause the book says so. If Bro. Bel
knap approached her on the tender
subject of her age he fails to record
his success, but quite likely If the SUBJ
ject was broached he followed "A.
Wards example and looked at her
teeth to verify her words. The care
less reader might conclude that the
brother is an old hand at this busi-

Trusts.

The Rutland Herald defends trust'
as public benefactions, with its char
acteristic vigor and ability. 1t admits
that the theory Of such a combination
is bad, but contends that in practice
the trust almost always brings about
a reduction in prices that benefits the
consumer, instead of the increase that
was intended when the association
was formed. 1t holds that the trust
maintains its position only SO long as
it is not oppressive. When it raises
prices beyond the point of a fair prof.
| it, it encourages competition, which
quickly enters and reduces the prices
again. The Herald thinks that such
combinations reduce the expenses of
conducting lines of business and that
consumers reap the benefit.
There is force in the Heruld's argu-
ment, but it does not carry conviction.
The theory of trusts is so thoroughly
foreign to the sense of right that we
do not expect much good to come
from it in practice.
When few men or companies con-
troll practically the entire product of a
necessary of life, it is human nature
to take advantage Of the position for
their own enrichment. The Herald
thinks that they cannot advance prices
to eXorbitance without inviting their
own downfall, as the high prices will
stimulate the competition they do not
desire. This is good theory and the
theory works to certain extent in
practice, but not to the extent that the
Herald believes. 1t prevents prohibi-
tory prices and holds a threatening
sword over the trust, limiting its prof
its.
Let trust be formed, say by the
wholesale dealers in leather. Its mem
bers operate the leading tanneries of
the country. They are able to kill off
all competition that may appear. The
trust advances the price of leather at
its own sweet will. Buyers murmur,
but few cents OH pair Of boots or
shoes will not make great difference
to any considerable number Of pur.
though in the aggregate itd
an enormous amount taken
from the people. There may
be plenty of men Of capital who note
hat the trust is reaping a rich harvest,
Dut they hesitate to start new tanner
les because they know that as soon as
hey do so the trust will lower prices
ong enough to freeze them out and I
hen raise them again. They see no
prospect of profit to them. Then an
outsider is very much at disadvan-
age in entering a business with which
le is unacquainted.
The trust is master of the situation,
5 long as it holds together. A more
,otent cause for the failure Of the trust !

Id puts forward is its lack Of cohe-

Chauncey NJ. Depew said at Bur-

that he arranged his "harmony ban

tial nomination, Harrison, Morton,
Mckinley and Reed, and all but the
latter attended. Other guests were
all sorts and shades OF Republican
leaders in New York, the heads of
factions at open war with each other.
1t was motley gathering. What
is not known to the public,
but all the guests claim to have had a
most enjoyable time. We will wager
that Chauncey himself found more
cause for mcrriment than any of the
rest. He has no personal aspirations
for the presidency. He is for Morton
and predicts that New York will send
i solid delegation for his candidate
next year.
