Is THIS PATERNALISMP

The Kansas City Star Of August 4,
1891, had a short article pointing ont
the advantages which Kansas City
merchants might enjoy by svailing
themselves to a greater extent of
privileges afforded by the bonded
warehouse in that city. The follow
ing is the article alluded to:
Surveyor Of the Port Gafla estimates
shat about ons-third of the goods sold by
the dry goods, oroOkeRy and hardware deal
ers in Kansas City is imported. All these
commodities bought in foreign markets can
be invoioed and shipped direct from q for

pense of handling, packing aud repacking
at the seaport where received in the United
States. II Kansas City merchants would
buy through syndicates and associations in

Bad 40 this is, these evils are com.
mon to all great monopolies which
are operated for private gain. Mon
opoliss have no souls, and no place
for them, and they treat their en-
ployes as though they were likewise
constituted, and as though their
bodies were mere merchandise to be
bought and sold for the profit Of the
capitalist and the qualification Of the
libertine.
Mrs. I. W. Lake, of the Social
Purity league, says Of these abuses:
As soon as the results are all in we hope
to put a standing advertisement in all the
newspapers stating just what the different
stores pay their girls, and ask women TO

wages they earn in some Of the stores and
the managers not only know this, but count
on help from the outside.
These appeals to the better nature
Of the public all proceed undoubt-
edly from very laudsble motive;
but the retail merchants who are Or
gsnizing against the department
stores, the Society for the Prev ntion
of Crime and the Social Purity
league should all be able to under
strnd that the evils and abuses OF
which they complain are not peculiar
to the department. stores, but are
common to the existing social and
industrial system. All of these
good people go on voting year
after year for a continuance OF
that system, and yet seem to expect
to avert the natural and inevitable
and irreslstsble consequences of it by
such feeble means as are now being
pursued in the city Of Chicago. They
may learn better by long experience,
but the great trouble with the lessons
that have to be learned by expert
ence is that it comes only after long
suffering Of the evils that a little
foresight might entirely avoid. Too
often, also, the chief obstacle in the
way of such foresight is partisan
prejudice. Why will not people
study these questions philOsophicslly

which are being everywhere estsb-
lished aud which include in their
several departments every line Of
goods embraced in .the entire retail
trade. Newspapers report great
meetings Of retail merchants at which
resolutions are adopted condemning
the methods Of the department es-
Establishments, and committees are sp.
pointed to devise ways and means
TO prevent their increase and to coun-
teract the power Of those already
estabIlsed. This war is now on in
the city of Chicago, and the .sevils Of
these colossal institutions are now
beng exhibited to the public.
While we recognize fully all the
evils pertaining to these establish
msnts, it is our judgment that this
warfare upon them will be a fruit.
less one. The department store is
surely coming in every city and
every town Of consequence any in the
country. 1t is in entire harmony
with our general system Of centrali-
zation in all departments OF produc-
sion and distribution. The evils per-
tanning to it, aud which are pointed
out by the retail merchants now Or
ganizing against it, are common to
Che great system of which it is only q
part Those evils will not prevent
its success. Pointing them out may
excite some little public indignation,
but that will not prevent the patron
age OF the stores when they offer
goods cheaper than they can be
bought elsewhere, and this they can
do in all cases. An appeal to the
pocketbook is more etfectusl in the
present great individual competitive
scramble than any other appeal that
can be made. The dedsrtmsnt store
may therefore be accepted as a fact
against which all opposition will be
perfectly lmpotent.
But the department store is by no
means the end Of Capitalization in
this line. These institutions once
generally established aud the next
step will be q Capitalization OF their
ownership and control. A few indi-
viduals will gradually absorb them
all and q vast mercantile monopoly
will take possession OF the entire re-
tail trade in all it's branches through
out the country. The merchants OF
to-dsy will become the mere agents
and employees Of this gigantic mo-
nopoly, or they will go out and join
Che ever increasing army Of trsmps.
This result is as inevitable as fate,
and the retail merchants of the Coun-
try ought to have sufficient foresight
to perceive it and to prepare for it.
The laws Of the country, both state
and national, for many years past
have been so framed as to encourage
and facilitate this Capitalization; and
the courts have been so constituted
ps to render decision adverse to the

could remain in bond for three years from
the date Of entry without che payment Of
the duties theron, and thus he would have
Che use Of bis money until such time as che
market required the goods. The effect
would be to make the bonded warehouse
the store house OF the merchant. This, too,
would make Kansas City the sntrepot and
depot for all this Western country, and
towns and cities tributary TO this place,
coming TO understand this, would come
here for their supplies and bring their pro-
ducts for sale.
All the advantages spoken of by
the Star and many more have been
available to the merchants Of every
city whore a custom house has been
established. They are provided with
storage for the term of three years,
and further are relieved from the
payment Of duties, being thus en-
abled to use the money required to
pay those duties until such time as
the market required the goods" As
the Star observes, "the effect is to
make the bonded warehouse the
storehouse of the merchants" and a
further effect is that the government
loans the merchant, without interest,
the amount of the duty Ola his goods
until such time as the demands of
the market require him to remove
them from the warehouse. Uncle
Sam is certainly very kind to these
importers Of foreign merchandise.
But this is not the whole story yet.
1t has been Vehemently denied by
the old party press and politicians
that the government ever furnished
whisky warehouses for distillers, but
an examination of the law relating to
the subject will show that this denial
is not well founded. It is true the
distiller builds his own warehouse
adjacent to his distillery, where he
may leave his liquors in bond for the
space of three years without payment
of the internal revenue tax. If at
the end of the three years there is no
satisfactory market for his goods, he
may ship them abroad without pay
ment Of the tax, a law to this effect
having been enacted in 1880. He
may store them abroad for an indeR-
mite period, and reimport them when
there is market for them, or he may
reimport them at his pleasure and
store them in the custom house for
three years still without payment Of
the tax. Upon their final withdrawal
for market he pays a duty equal to
the original internal revenue tax. So
it seems that the government actually
does provide warehouse privileges to
distlllers as well as merchants and
loans them the amount of their tax
upon liquors, not for three years
merely, bat for an indefinite period
Of time.
There is another little peculiarity
about this liquor business. Liquors
which, when new, are worth but q
few cents on th0 gallon become very
valuable by age, and during the

ister and is as follows.
The only thing chat prevents She 'holsa
in Che ground" about Nsodeshs from being
veEitable units Of wealth for land owners
and oil Is the lack OF a market. This lack
is OCOaSioned almost wholly by unjust dis
examinations against industries by the pres
ant freight pooling arrangements. "Build
reHaeFy theu," says some one. But that
wouldn'b alter the disoriminstions on
frsigQb rates. The Same fGte would befall
our locally refined oil that befalls locally
crude oil. For instance: The operators
here shipped few barrels Of oil into Okla
homs the other day. The freight was So 10
per barrel. The Standard Oil company
was shipping the same quality Of oil from
the E astern fields through Chicago
and Kansas City TO the same point in Okla
homs and selling ID for So per barrel. Just
think Of itl And when you think Of it
cease wandering why there is no market
for oil here.
Nearly $4,000 barrels Of crude petroleum
is above the surface Of the ground here at
Neod shs, and untold millions Of barrels
are below the surface, upon which not one
dolla' can be realized owing 10 the situs-
tion indicated above. Although Neodssha
10 within 1876 miles OF Kansas City and the
nearest Eastern oil Aeld Is over go miles
from that pOiut, the producer Of oil at Ne
odeshR would have to give the Kansas City
consumers the oil and the barrel aud pay
him six cents in money in order TO meet
the prices at which the Standard OIL Oom-
pany sells the Eastern product at Kansas
City.
Against these Determinations of
course no individual and no small
concern can hope to succeed; and
| just such determinations are made
IN favor OF every other monopoly do
ing business in this country to-day,
aud are likewise granted to every
new monopoly as soon as it is pro-
Ijscted. The department store is no
exception to this rule, and no indi-
vidual and no small estsblishm ent
can prevail against it. Neither will
the opposition of the retail merchants
stay the progress of Capitalization in
this line.
Bot, they say, look at the evils aud
abuses that prevail in these estsb'
lishments. Will society tolerate such
thingsl Certainly it will. The con-
science Of society is very elastic, and
it has been tolersting the very same
evils and abuses pertaining to other
cspitalistic concerns for 10, these
many years.
