He Hits tho Trusts.

Another topic in which our pcoDle
rightfully take deep interest may be
here briefly considered. refer to the
existence of trusts and other huge aggrc-
cations of capital, the object of which is
To secure the monopoly of some particu-
lar branches of trade, industry or COM
mcTce and to stiile wholesome competi-
ton. When these are defended it is
usually on the ground that though they
Increase profits they also reduce prices
and thus may benefit the public
1t must be remembered, however, that
reduction of prices to the people is not
one of the real objects of these o.ganiya-
tons, nor is their tendency necessarily in
that direction. If it occurs in a particu-
lar case, it is only because it accor.ls with
the purposes of interests of those manag-
ing the scheme.
such occasional results fall far short of
compensating the palpabe evils charged to
inc accounts OF the trusts and monopo-
lies. Their tendency is to crush out in.
dividnnl independence and to hinder or
prevent the free use of human faculties
and the full development of human char
acter. Through them the farmer, the
artisan, and the small trader is III dan
ger OF d:slodgment from the proud posi-
ton OF being his own master, watchful Of
all that touches his country's prosperity,
IN which he has i'm Individual lot, and in
tcrested in all that effects the advantages
OF business of which he is factor, TO be
rclega:cd to the level of II mere appurtc.
nance to great machine, with little free
WILL with no duty but that of passive
obedience and with little hope of oppor-
tunity of rising in the scale OF responsible
and hopeful citizenship.
TO the instructive belief that such is
the inevitable trend OF trusts and monop.
oiics IS due the widespread and deep
seated popular aversion in which they
are hcid, and the not unreasonable insist
cnce that, whatever may be their ncidcn-
tai economic advantages their general
effect upon personal character, prospects
ana usefulness. cannot be otherwise than

Tie Laws inefficient.

Though Congress has attempted to deal
with this matter by legislation the laws
passed for that purpose thus far have
proved inefficient, not because of any lack
OF disposition OF attempt to enforce them,
but simply because the laws themselves,
as interpreted by the courts, do not reach
the difficulty. If the insufliciency of ex-
listing laws .can be remeded by further
legislation it should be done The fact
must be recognized, however, that all
federal legislation on this subject may
tall short of its purpose because of in
herent obstacles, and also because OF the
complex character OF our governmental
system, Which while making the federal
authority supreme within its sphere, has
carefully limited that sphere by mctes
and boun rs which cannot be transgrcsscd
Inc decision of or highest court on this
precise question renders it quite doubt
iul whether the evils OF trusts ana mo-
nopolies can be adequately treated
through federal action, unless they sce;
directly and purposely to include in their
OBJECTS transportation or Intercourse he.

Staetes and foreign countries.

Willingness to judiciously exercise such

For Economy
In concluding this communication its
last words shall be an appeal to the Con
gress for the most rigid economy in the
expenditure Of the money it holds i'm
trust for the people. The way To perplex.
ing extravaganza is easy, but a return TO
frugaiity is difficult.
When, however, it is considered TINT

Gen. w. w. Grout, who spent few days
a. his Kirby farm in the intermission of
c. lgressional business, took the oppor-
IL lity to make thorough test aud clear
ing up of his dairy herd of Jerseys. A
test by local veterinarian some time ago
revealed the presence of tuberculosis.
Gen. Grout then requested Secretary Wins
low of the state board of cattle commits
sioners and DIR. Rich to test the herd care
fully. When this was done, within the
past week, 35 animals out of about 90
cows composing the herd, responded to the
test and were killed. A large percentage
were young animals apparently in perfect
condition, and in flesh fit to send them to
the butcher The organs of these COWS
showed only slight traces of the disease,
but the carcasses of all were burned and
will be used for fertilizer. 1t was dras-
tic remedy to use, but Gen. Grout went
upon the sound and safe basis that when
one once begins to fight this enemy the
only was is to make clean and sure thing
of it-and his example is one that ought
to be followed throughout the state.
