Tho congestion at all ports during

Houston not only brings deep water

any syndicate to monopolize 1t all. In

"The White Paper Trust"

Those newspapers which have always
stood up for tariffs and trusts are now
finding out how it is themselves. The
operations OF the paper trust have brought
the truth home to these organs of mon
opoly and exclusive privileges. They
have discovered that they are paying a
price for paper which enables the trust
to pay dividend on capitalization Of
$40, Co., 900, when 100000 would re-
place all the mills, plants, property and
leases owned by the trust. AS a conse-
quence they are beginning to protest and
in no uncertain language either
SO far as these newspapers are con-
cerned, which have been unfolding the
concentrating tendencies of modern capt.
tai and the robbing OF consumers by fcti-
tious capitalizations, we have no sympa-
thy to express. OF course, their objections
are valid. But SO are the objections OF
other people in jured in Il similar manner
and in many cases in larger proportion,
and with which these newspapers have
never expressed any concern. The paper
trust is only one Of the great trusts which
are practicing eXtortion on the people Of
the United States, and like the rest of
them should be wiped out OF existence.
1t may be a fortunate thing that the
paper trust has carried things SO far, and
raised protest from the American press.
To be consistent, it will be obliged to at
tack all trusts. and thus the sentiment OF
the country will be aroused to the tyranny
to which it is now submitting as the re.
suit OF permitting combinations to control
all the staple articles of production and
fix the price as we'll as the amount OF the
product. We live in republic and boast
of government by the people, but among
the 78,OOO,O00 Of American citizens there
are less than hundred who by single
stroke Of the pen can double the cost of
mans living in single day. This is the
despotsm OF the trusts, and the sooner it
is abolished the better for the people.
The exactions Of the paper trust may be
serving useful purpose.-The Rocky
Mountain News.
