lie argues that the Standard Oil Com
pany undoubtedly reduced the price of
oil 10 the consumer. but that there were
many other causes at work contributing
to this reduction. and that the Standard
Is not. therefore. entitled TO the sole
credit OF the reduction.
our correspondent may be right about
this. though We doubt H. But We shall
not discuss the question with him. be-
cause IL the STANDARD contributed 10 the
reduction thus our point is established.
our point IS that the tendency Of the
trust IS TO lower prices, and II that be
conceded we have nothing more to say
upon the subject. The case Is gained,
so far as we are concerned.
our correspondent thinks the desire for
profit will cause the trust to keep the
price OF the article up 20 the highest
possible point That Is undoubtedly true.
But tho highest possible point Is the
lowest point that brings a profit. More
money Is made by selling at this point
than by selling at higher point, and
that being 50, that is the highest posi-
BILE point
Greedy men who have charge Of an
enterprise may keep prices up for a
while beyond this LOWEST point. but the
silent working OF the great natural law
that profits come from low prices pulls
the price down 70 this lowest point in
time with the same cetainty that stone
dropped from the top of steeple falls
to the ground.
our correspondent takes exception
also to our statement that the trust in
creascs employments for labor. our ar
eument here is that by cheapening pro-
ducts. the citizen is left money to spend.
As he has money to spend his desire for
variety in articles increases, and there
must be new enterprises. employing new
labor TO supply the call for these new
varieties Of articles.
There IS nothing more certain than the
operation Of this law. Our correspon-
dent objects to the argument that cheap
ening certain articles will cause certain
mills employing thousands Of hands TO
be thrown out Of employment in midwin-
ter. But - an article IS furnished TO all |
next week for one half what it |
cost last week, all mankind is not to be |
denied this blessing because fifty thousand |
workmen in Boston are suddenly de-
privei Of work.
Think Of the single article celluloid. |

for almost nothing which nifty years |

necessity for Industrial combinations

THE SUFFRAGE QUESTION.

Some time ago i'm referring to negro
Suffrage in the South. we remarked That
with a restricted suffrage in the new
Territory Of Hawaii. the Northern people
would not have the cffrontsry to offer
opposition TO any expedent that might
be adopted ira the Southern states 10
fight the great wrong that was inflicted
by the North thirty years ago.
The Atlanta Constitution reproduces
our remarks. and by way Of comment
says that It has never believed that the
great mass of white people at the North
were in favor OF placing the ballot in
The hands Of ignorant negroes. That
those who did favor the programme knew
pothing of the situation and were mis-
Jed by the violence of the politicians.
tBut however that may be" the Consti-
sution goes on. the outside opposition TO
restricted measures by the Southern
States would do no good. Any State
may restrict suffrage. so long as the re-
striction is not based on race. or color.
or previous condition of servitude. in
other words. so long as the restriction
applied TO both white and black. the
States are free TO apply it,
Quite true We are not opposed TO an
honest measure of this character I'm The
state of Virginia, but we have always
been opposed and we viii always be OPP
POSED to any sort of jugglery that will
cheat the negro. We do not believe I'm
the understanding clause" and other
such subterfuges In other words
ave have tried hard 10 impress the
fact that our objection 10 dishonest cleo
fons is without any reference 10 the
negro. We are opposed 90 dishonest
elections. 10 dishonest methods of AN
sorts, because they dcmoralize the people.
We are opposed TO cheating. whether 10
he cheating Tie negro or the white man.
and We are opposed 10 an sorts Of de-
vices in that direction. As the Constitu-
lion well says. 1t is not unconstitutional
Tor any State TO restrict suffrage so long
hs the restriction applies alike to both
whites and blacks. And we may add that
such restriction IS not only not unconsti-
tuuonal but il is perfectly fair and honest
but when we resort TO political dupncitv
we are STOPPING TO degradation that is
unworthy of us.
We agree with the Constitution that
IN honest restrictive measure of this
character works no real hardship and is
10 be desired, for it would remove the
race problem out Of politics whore IT has
proved to be such a disturbing and dan
gerous factor. and We believe that this
Is more to the interest Of the negro than
IL is to the white man. Politics has been
the black mans curse. and his condition
to-day would be far better. If from the
beginning the ballot had been withheld
from him until such time as he should
have shown himself qualified to exercise
the right of suffrage. He has been the
tool and plaything of political adventur-
ors Of both races ever since the war. and
dearly has lie paid for the few honors
and emoluments that he has received from
that source
