Division OF labor, assigning
every individual to a more or less
limited sphere of activity. and the
intense struggle and competition
that consume the time and energy
OF the individual in his particular
occupation or profession tend to
diversity and even antagonize the
interests OF people in a community.
Conditions limit every mans bust

profitable. perhaps, that every
member of community have a
well defined business and that he
devote his energies largely to pri-

come into this state to do business they
must conform to the laws and public
policy of this state.''
The agreement in the option con-
tracts not to do business within radius
of 1000 miles of Chicago, afterwards
made 1,50O miles, is held as being in re-
straint of trade to suoh an extent which
is illegal. Quoting fybm the opinion:
"As the evidence. in this record tends
to show that glucose can only be manu-
factured successfully within this radius,
the agreement not toa manufacture and
sell it therein amounted, in effect, to an
agreement in total or general restraint
OF trade, hence the agreement was void
and stamps the TRANSACTION of which it
was part as illegal
The court takes OCCASION to observe
that the organization of such trusts as
described in the record and in such
manner and by ach methods as set
ferth do not comeswithin the legitimate
scope OF the practice Of law, and that the
refusal of certain sattprneys to answer
some Of the questions amounted to an
actual obstruction Of the administration
of justice. The specific relief in the
decree is an order. to set aside the deeds
OF transfer by which the trust acquired
the property of the American Glucose
conipany and to ogrant such other and
further relief as consistent with the
prayer OF the bill and as sustained by
the evidence already in the record"

themselves with us or accept our direct
ing influence in enlightening the world
and bettering the condition of man.
We should first adjust some of our own
domestic concerns SO that our laws and
our government will make for the uni
versal good before we can expect the
full confidence of strangers in any
pledges we may make to them. They
will not accept our promises of peace
when we have trouble at home Some
OF our laws are out of harmony with
the spirit and letter of our constitution
the creature is assuming more au-
thOrity than the creator possesses This
should not be, and whenever friction is
observed it should be speedily adjusted.
In government of the people every in
terest of the people should be consulted
and guarded in every movement of the
government. This idea should pervade
every department of a popular govern
ment. Lamentably, this is not always
the case
are the masses SO completely ignored
as III the development of our financial
system. Learned men and leading
financiers are insisting that few bank
ers should be allowed to furnish the cir
culating medium of our country. If
few men can issue acceptable money
upon their scant holdings, why cannot
the general government issue money
that would be more acceptable?
Certainly, if you made the issue re-
deemable in property, the government
could give better security than any
number of individuals short of the
whole populace. l think the govern
ment should have the sole power to
make money and that it should not dele
gate this power to any other. Bankers
should be allowed no more privileges
than other people, and If the govern
ment should allow them to issue money
upon their holdings it should allow me
and every citizen the right to issue
money on whatever property we pos
The poorer a man is the more
liable will he be to need an issue.
The man who insists upon the free
coinage of metal at an arbitrary value,
without computing the value in other
nations that coin it or use it, has no
right to say to us that other nations
will not accept our money when we offer
them greenbacks as the proper solution
Of our financial troubles. If they accept i
our bonds they will accept our green
backs, when made legal tender for all |
1ebts and commodities.
We need and must have an easy cir

not benefit the masses. 1t is only the
money that moves freely among the
people that can give universal pros
)erity.
It must also have some staying quail
les. A man must have the privilege OF
Keeping it as long as he can use it profit
lbly. If it can be recalled within
rear, labor cannot handle it to advant-
'ge. As fast as ones pegs are set they

Again. it must have stable and fixed
qualities. We want no standard of
value that can be effected by specula-
tion. To say that enemies or specula-
tors did it will not suffice. We want
something that they cannot corner or
control. To leave it open to the attack
and whims Of the speculator is unfair
to the masses. Their business is gone
and their chances are ruined. Give us
standard that is always alive and that
can take care Of itself. Give us a
standard in which all men have a prop
erty right. One that is natural, Cod
given and eternal. One that is essen
tial and necessary in the nature of
things. One that is universal and
meets every condition of every nation
every business Of every man.
Now, what is this standard so uni
versally APPLICABLE? 1t is labor. Omni-
present, omniessential labor. Eyery-
where and always in demand No busi-
ness and no calling can stand without
1t. To put forth any project of life, to
begin any series of effort, the strong and
ever essential arm of labor is called into
play. There is no movement without
lt-nothing but sloth and. death. 1t is
the evidence and the support of life.
Checked but an instant and we all die.
Then why not recognize it in it's true
function and place it in it's proper rela-
ton to things? 1t must be done before
universal right is recognized and uni
versal justice is triumphant in the
world

| shall be made, or whether he shall con-
tlnue his investment in the form of
stock. The right of a stockholder to
this interference seems to be placed
upon the ground that, from the fact that
the corporation was created for a GER
tain purpose, there is an implied con-
tract that it shall not divert it's powers
or funds to other purposes, and that
such divergence would be a species of
breach of trust as we'll as violation
OF law which might endanger the exist
ence of it's charter"
NO RIGHT TO SELL TO TRUST.
The contention of the trust attorneys
that the American Glucose company had
a legal right to sell it's property to the
trust is thus disposed of:
""The transfer of it's property, made
by the American Glucose company. was
a transfer to a corporation created for
the express purpose of taking IT'S prop
erty and the property of other corpora
tiOns so as to use them in the suppress.
monopoly in the manufacture Of .glu-
cose and grape sugar and their products
and by-products. The whole scheme as
devised and consummated was fraud
not only upon the public but upon the
dissenting stockholder filing this bill.''
After establishing the legal fact that
foreign corporations are amenable to
the laws of this state when doing busi-
ness here, and that under the laws they
can acquire and hold only such property
as is necessary for the actual uses of the
corporation, and that corporations can
dispose of only such property as they
do not need, the court declares that the
American Glucose company and the
Glucose Sugar Refining company are
authorized to own such property as is
necessary for carrying on their busi-
ness and no more. Then the opinion
continues:
''The power of the Glucose Sugar Re-
fining company to acquire and hol1
property is limited to that purpose, arf
it has no power by its charter to enter
upon scheme of getting into it's hands
and under it's control all, or substantial-
ly all, the glucose plants and the glucose
business of the country for the purpose
Of controlling production and prices, of
out competition and of estab-
fishing virtual monopoly in that busi-
ness. Such purposes are foreign to the
powers granted by the charter. Acqufsi-
tions Of property to such extent and for
such purpose do not come within the
authority to own the property necessary
for the purpose of carrying on general
glucose business. Foreign corporations
cannot be permitted to come into this
state for the purpose of asserting rights
in lcontravention of our laws"
