APPARENTLY QUITE A GOOD REPUBLI
CAN SENATOR FROM ILLINOIS.

CHICAGO, Feb. 7.-Senator-e r-elect Will
liam f. Mason was given a reception
last night by the Menoken club, of
which he Is a member. In the course
of speech he said: =
81 have disagreed with people some
times, but what | am going to say now
is a question of patriotism, not politics.
| was in the supreme court on Monday
when the attorney general sought to ad-
vance the interests of the Cubans who
wanted to get to their own country, and
if get in any trouble it will be on this
score.
"EIave you read how the Spainards
are killing women and children? Do
you know how boys are shot every day
| tell you am sick and tired of men and
children being murdered at our doors
and turning back and saying: Were
not our brothers keepers 1 say we are
our brothers keepers. And whether
am blamed or praised, | shall never be
silent until the belligerency of Cuba is re-
cogniZed."

On the other hand, the argument used
in favor of trusts, that a combination of
capital is very necessary to advantageous
and cheap production-something that is
almost necessity to the world-carriedt to
its logical conclusion would fully warrant
government control of the production
of such things as are of the greatest i'm
portance to the people. Such control is
now illustrated In the management of
the mails, highways and public schools {;
in all of which the public can see that
their interests are very greatly sub
served by such control. For not only by
government control is the greatest pos
slble amount of capital aggregated in any
certain country, thus giving the greatest
possible advantage in the economy Of
management that comes from such COM
bination. but also all temptation to in
crease prices, when able, is removed.
Here the interest subserved is a general
or public one, and thus requires the
lowest rates possible.
OnuOuDltNlly lllC SONNA hh'SHN
control other matters than those it now
does to the very great advantagel of the
people; such, perhaps, as railroads and
possibly telegraphs.
Directly or indirectly every one is in
terested in the railroads, very much as
they are in the highways, which are
mostly managed by government. Every
one either travels on railroads or pur-
chases things that are carried by them, or
both, and hence every one Except the
few who may own the Irailroads) is in
terested to have fares and freights as low
as possible.
Ard therefore, as the Herald will see,
the logical outcome of its argument is
government control of all those things
that are of the greatest consequence to
the people. For so only shall we get the
advantages mentioned to their fullest ex-
tents and avoid those dangers which are
unavoidably connected with trusts.

PERSONAL,

Miss Abbie w. Kent, who went to
Kobe, Japan, few years ago, has
returned to this country because of her
poor health. She is now with her sister,
Mrs. S. Knowlton, at Danville. MISS
Kent is the daughter of the late Rev..
Cephas Kent, for many years pastor of
the Congregational church in Ripton.
A Washington dispatch has the follow
ing concerning former Middlebury
man: "There is excellent authority for
saying that candidate with a strong
chance of success for Secretary Sher-
mans chief of staff, In the state depart
ment, is Frank c. Partridge of Vermont.
Friends of Mr.. Partridge, whose ac
qaintance with international law, as
well as diplomacy, is intimate, are urg-
ing his merits upon both Major McKin-
ley and Senator Sherman" A

TRUSTS.

We give this week, under Spirit of the
Press, an editorial from the Rutland
Herald on Trusts, that discusses the
question with good deal of ability, and
brings out quite completely the argu-
ment that can be made in their favor.
The gist of this is that they render pos
sible a cheaper production of articles,
and that the public get the benefit of
this cheapening. For it is possible by
the aggregation of capital, which means
the possible use of large capital,
and the manufacture of things
on a large scale to make them cheaper,
and hence to selllthem at less price than
they could possibly be furnished if their
manufacture was confined to individuals.
This s,we believe, correct, and if the op-
Grafton of trusts leads to this result, it is
possible that the whole effect is bene-
fetal, that is, that it benefits more
people than it can possibly injure.
On the other hand there is always dan
ger with trusts or combinations that,
when by their power they have crushed
out opposition, and have secured mon
opoly, they will raise prices and so put
money into their purse. And there is
always danger that they will make prices
even higher than they were before these
trusts were formed, or higher than they
would be if the trusts did not exist
with the additional objection that the
money so taken from the people goes
mostly or entirely to very few indi'
viduals, instead of being distributed
largely over the country. These are the
two great objections to trusts. The
temptation to raise prices if, or as soon as
they have the power is ingrained in hu'
man nature, and we may be sure will
manifest Itself in trusts, or corporations
formed for private gain-and especially
in trusts-wheneYer they have thu
chance.

Bradstreet's of Saturday says of the
general business situation:
At most centers jobbers report business
quiet or unchanged with no prospect of
immediate improvement. The restric-
ton of the production of cotton goods
has not strengthened the market or ad-
vanced prices yet. The heavy increase
in the sales of wool since January | is
based largely on the expectation of a
higher duty on wool. The check to the
number of business failures reported
last week appears again in the total fol
the current week, 305 throughout the
United States as compared with 326 last
week and 33S in the first week of Feb
ruary, 1896.
