The decision of the Supreme Court In
the Trans MISSOURI Freight Association
case appears to have been SO far reaching
as to bring within its scope the applica-
ton of the law to trusts of all kinds
Anent the plea that combinations tend
to lower the price to the consumer, the
court says, it is not material that the
price of an article may be lowered. 1t is
in the power Of the combination to raise
it, and tho result In any event is unfor.
tunate for the.oountry by depriving it of
the services of large number of small
but Independent dealers who Were famil-
lar with the business, who had spent
their lives in 1t, and who supported them
selves and their families from the small
profits realized therein" Thus with one
swoop, the highest. court in the country
seems to have fallen upon the numerous
decisions delivered from timessto time by
some of the lower federal courts, and by
its decision certainly furnishes a good
vantage, ground for action by those who
regard all com binatons as inimical to
the best interest of the community at
large and in restraint of trade.

Despite. theleforts made nearly year
ago by President Barrios, it is reported
that the United States is not so well rep
resented, as might be desired. in the in
dustrial exhibition which was opened
at Guatemala City, the capital of the re-
public OF Guatem ala, few days since.
The. New York Sun says we have good
trade with that country; but, in recent
years, England has striven successfully
to increase her exports to it, and English
manufactures of many kinds are largely
represented at the exhibition.

If We can judge anything from our ex-
perience with the prohibitory liquor law,
the law just passed by the legislature
prohibiting the sale of cigarettes in
this state is destined to fall far
short of the purpose of it's authors.
Cigarettes-can be sold with less danger
of being found out than liquor, and the
demand for them will come from quarters
generally more respectable. No doubt what
the law especially aimsssat is to stop kthe
sale Of cigarettes to minors, but whether
the wholesale prohibition was the best
way to accomplish that is. doubtful. Ex-
perience will tell. A high license with
absolute prohibition of sale to minors
would, 'ge are inclined to think, have
worked more satisfactorily.
