ABOUT TRUSTS.

"The conviction has become pretty firmly
established in the mind of the American peo,
ple, without distinction OF section or OF
party" saws the New York journal OF Com
mmerce, "that something must be done 10
extirDate the monopolistc trusts" Ihere Is
no question about that, but the TACT IS PLAINLY
not giving the trusts much concern.-l Spring
field Republican.
That is all true and the reason for the
"conviction" will be found wholly in
fool newspaper talk. All the newspapers
in the country fell to bawling about the
wickedness of "trusts," without thought
and with no fact to go on and have kept
it up, and popular notion is created
The Herald was, so far as 1t knows, the
first to show the purely idlotic character
of the talk, it has been joined by the
New York Sun, and others will follow
as fast as the esteemed editors can be got
to give the thing a moments thought
And the Republican is doubtless right In
saying that the talk does not scare the
trust folks. A law which absolutely did
away with trusts and monopolies would
put the country back into barbarism OF
something closely approaching it,
Modern civilization depends upon iusl
those things that the neighbors talk sc
wildly about.
The above, taken from the Rutland
Herald, we quote to provoke discussion
AS in most questions, there are probably
two sides to this. VIII the Herald please
inform us exactly what it means by The
last sentence to the effect that "Moderr
civilization depends upon Just those
things that the neighbors talk so wildly
