Not many months ago in an address
before bar association Ex-President
Harrison spoke of the necessity Of
complete change in our laws regard
ing corporations. The vast powers
which a few great corporations now
hold and their brazen abuse of those
powers, have aroused the most con-
sentative of the American leaders Of
thought to the need Of immediate and
radical reform in this direction. In
personal letter to the editor of The
Farmers Voice, one of the leading Off.
Gals of the state Of Kansas writes a.
follows upon this subject:
"To my mind the vital interests Of
the day can all be embraced In the one
proposition: The Corporations VS.. the
People, and in the near future the
question that will be asked with refer
ence to any candidate for official posi-
ton will be, not is he Republican, or
q Democrat or Populist? But is he
for the people or for the corporationsP
''All the evils of which we complain
can be traced directly to corporation
rule. It is the corporation that cor
rupts legislatures, courts and public
officials. In fact, II the people may
live, corporations must die. Ultimate
ly all corporations except those that
are purely cooperative must be wiped
out; this power of combining capital
must be confined to organizations for
the peoples gooa and not for private
gain"
The growth of private monopoly
now going forward in this country is
the most threatening danger to the
republic, aud it is hopeful sign that
such men as the writer of the letter
quoted from are seeking means to
check and ultimately destroy it

The same authority that rides over
Legislative enactment debars peacea-
BILE men from marching in the public
highway, puts the seal of silence upon
the lips OF the advocates of the people,
and generally serves the monopolists
at their will, has been invoked in Iowa
to suppress the freedom of the press,
and with astounding alacrity the ever
loaded injunction was brought into
line. This time it was done to save a
lot Of politicians and ofice-seekers
from such public excoriation as their
manifest fear woull make appear they
deserved. Briefly, it seems that Re-
publican longed for the postmastership
Of Charles City, and that the Democrat
C incumbent was absent from his post
because of illness The aspirant for
mccessorship informed the grave and
reverend senators from Iowa and the
.ocal congressman of the condition of
lffairs and he was urged to get afil-
lavits Of the sick mans neglect of bus
ness in order to expidite the latter's
discharge. This, of course, is very
aigh and noble business for men of
their standing to be mixed up with,
but the candidate for postmaster
couldn't restrain his jubilation, and
Ihowed the letters from his friends ut
court all about town. The opposition

road. But 1 believe he has stated the
truth. believe he knew precisely
what he was talking about; that he
meant to tell the truth; and, that he
succeeded in doing so. Moreover, ]
think that 1 can prove that he waa
cautiously and prudently within the
truth as shown by the following Off
cial statement:
"a few years since one or more Of
the trunk lines were carrying immf
grants from New York to Chicago at
81 each. When all commissions are
deducted It is doubtful if they are OBJ.
tanning very much more now. What
legal right carrier can have when
making charge like that to one class
of passengers, to charge another S1s ia
not very obvious Interstate Com
merce Report, 1888, page %.
This rate of one dollar for about niue
hundred miles, is about equal to eleven
cents for one hundred miles, or, one.
ninth of cent per mile for each per.
son. This is less than one-fourth the
average Belgium rate for working
men; and less than one-half the rate
that President Ripley says the Kansas
roads would be willing to make, under
circumstances one-half as favorable as
Belgium conditions. So he knew what
he was talking about, and spoke the
words of truth and soberuesA And
the rates from New York to Chicago
prove that, under similar conditions
people may be carried at one.ninth Of
a cent per mile at a profit in this coun.
try.
But the conditioner What are theyP
And how can we prove that such trans
portation pays profit on the cost Of
service?
l answer that it certainly pays the
companies well, because they are will
ing and anxious to get the work. They
even pay commissions in order to get
it. AS to conditions they are these:
1t is the transportation of immigrants,
packed "like sardines" in immigrant
cars, like the workingmen in Belgium,
paying nearly one-fourth the rate here
that is paid there. But do you ask,
why are these conditionsP And what
brings the price Of transportation
down so low?
The fact is, the corporate manage
ment Of railways unusually finds .
sufficient excuse to raise and maintain
transportation rates at tho highest
possible figure. If we argue with the
managers and point out cases where
rates are lower, they reply that Soon
ditions are diffrent; give Us such and
such conditions" they say, land rates
will be lower" Intimating, and mean
ing to be understood, that cost Of ser.
wee is their honest and just basis on
which they fix rates. That view Of the
case is utterly deceptive and untrue
except in one particular, viz: The
lowest rates they ever fixed, even un-
der coercion conditions, are not, and
are not intended to be below the cost
service. This point will be made very
evident as the discussion proceeds.

and national conventions as they meet
should also take action along the same
line. Especially should the American
Federation Of Labor, which meets In
December, take strong position in
favor of postal savings banks. The de-
mand for their establishment should
be reiterated so persistently that con-
gress cannot longer ignore the subject.
The vote upon the adoption Of the pos
tai savings bank resolutions at Bloom

INCREASING TRUSTS.
AN ANTITRUST CRUSADE is IN
ORDER.
How long viii the farmers and tho masses
generally endure this formation Of
trusts and cOmbIna IONS that grind
them NJ both ends.

The injunction: ''Let there be light, "
falls on unsympathetic ears in the case
of the window glass trust which has
just been formed. The article, so con-
ducive to eight" is to be retailed at a
higher figure, to satisfy creed of q
comparatively few manufacturers who
look more to lucre than to light. This,
one of the last in the lists of trusts, will
infict as much hardship as many of its
predecessors The wire nail combine is
the latest abomination, thirty mills,
located in various states, having de-
cided TO consolidate their interests,
and company with a capital of $780,
100000 is to be formed. Some of the
mills now in operation also make barb
ed wire, and that article will also be
included in the clutches of the trust.
That both will be increased in price,
goes without saying. Lumber, under
the operations of the new tariff has
gone up, largely in excess of rates pre-
viously current; and now, with trust
imposts on glass, ails, and an increase
in the cost of lumber, the farmer who
wishes TO take advantage of the i'm
proved condition of his affairs and add
to his home or build new barn, will
find the cost of doing so much enhan-
ced by these new trust creations and
unnecessarily increased taxes. In some
states, where barley forms one of the
staple crops, the action of another re-
cently-formed trust is designed to work
in an opposite direction, The princi-
pal masters, about twenty in number,
have formed company with a capital
of $50, 100000, which in future will eu-
joy a monopoly not only in selling
malt, but will be able to buy its barley
without competition. Where formerly
there were twenty competitors for an
entra sample of barley, there will be
but one customer, who hopes by thus
narrowing the market to get what he
wants at his own price. This is can
didly stated to be one of the motives
for combining. How long will farm
ers, and the masses generally, endure
this formation of trusts and combina-
lions which grind them at both ends.
An antitrust crusade is in order, and
has more significance than any other
one question now before the public for
solution. St Louis Journal of Agri-
culture.

CONTINUED FROM LAST WEEK. ]
Editor of the Kansas Commoner:

Editor of the Kansas Commoner:
Mr.. Brown thinks railroad passenger
rates in the United States, under cor
porate management are too high, and
refers to the lower rates in Belgium,
India and Russia, to sustain his posi-
ton.
President Ripley does not dispute
the facts and figures cited by Mr..
Brown, but thinks they convey a
wrong impression, because the condi-
tions are different. As to Belgium,
President Ripley replies as follows:
"Now, Belgium is country less than
one-seventh the size of the State of
Kansas. 1t has a population of over six
millions of people. For half a century
it has been the most densely populated
country in Europe. Twenty years ago
it had population of AGO people to the
square mile. 1t has a population today
of about $50 to the square mile. To get
the same conditions in Kansas as exists
in Belgium you would have to put
village of over one hundred people, in
addition to the existing population of
Kansas, on every quarter section in the
state, from the furthest north to the
furthest south and from the Missouri
line to the bouudry Of Colorado. In
stead of scattering the people over
each quarter section, you could make,
if you wished, city of nearly twenty
thousand people in each township
Belgium had the first railroad line on
the continent of Europe; ithas the best
highways probably in the world today;
it is one dense hive of industry from
one corner to the other, and, finally, it
has population of about two thous-
and people TO every mile of railway.
Kansas has population of about one
hundred and fifty to every mile Of rail-
way. With more than thirteen times
as many people to travel on each mile
of road, is it surprising that the Bel
GUM railways can charge lower rates?
The figures which Mr. Brown quotes,
moreover, are only the figures on spe-
cial workingmens trains which run
twice day, taking the men to their
work in the morning and bringing
them back at night They run short
distances through crowded districts
and are sure of something more than
full load to every car each trip each
day in the year. If the people of Kan
sas can furnish travel let us say one
half as heavy as the people of Belgium
furnish, will guarantee on behalf of
the Santa Fe road-I think can speak
for all the railroads in Kansas-to
make one-half the Belgium rate.
One more point in regard to Belgium
which Mr.. Brown overlooks is that the
average weekly wages of the working
men of Belgium are about IS. II the
railways Of Kansas could hire their
labor and buy all their supplies on the
Belgium scale of prices, again 1 say
there will be no trouble in making
Belgium rates."
1 make this long quotation so that
the writer cannot say that 1 misrepre-
aent him; and, because he gives his
case away so completely. He properly
represents the dense population of
