Remedy Needed.

The trusts, though greedy and
seeking to prey upon the people to
the utmost, are advancing the
cause of socialism more than or
ganized socialism in any of its
manifestations. They are demon
strating the economy Of combining
the interests in any one line of pro-
duction or other business through
out the nation and directing and
controlling il by one central au-
thority. BY their power of con-
-:Solling the prices of the raw ma
terials they use and that of the
finished product, by their power of
crushing out competition and in a
large measure of fixing the wages
of their employees and laborers they
cause the prospect of the future tn
appear desperate, indeed, to the
people. Thus they at once show
the comparative advantage of rom-
hination in the way of cheaper
production and distribution aud
the peoples need of some remedy
for their abuse of power. The lat
ter lie essential. The people are
not going to be reduced to stat,
Of practicsl serfdom, which would
be the outcome il the trusts o.
combinations of capital are not
checked by law. The trouble is
that in seeking a remedy imprac.

and dazzle the people. As a rem
edy for trusts what is So attractive
as trusts administered by and for
the people? Right there the object
lessons of the trusts in economy of
operation are held up as proofs of
the benefits the people would de.
rive from state socialism. Social
ism" by mere name is a sort OF
bugbear to a large proportion OF
the people and to none more than
the plain country people. Yet the
actual principles of socialism when
disguised in name or modified in
application become especially at
tractive to them. Witness the Pop
ulistic movement. Populism il
merely modified socialism. nd when
once adopted would as certainly
grow into the complete socialism OF
the advanced teachers of the pres
ent day as q planted and nurtured
acorn into an oak tree.
But there is a fatal defect in the
people operating trusts for their
own benefit. 1t the defect of the
whole structure of state socialism.
1t is a fault in human nature itself
that can't be ersdicated. The ex-
ecutive head OF a trust, be it one
person or more. is selected for fit
