THE LESSON OF BRITISH TRUSTS.

Our London correspondent reminds us that
the formation Of what are commonly called
trusts goes merrily on in the United Kingdom.
There is no law to restrain manufacturers from
selling their property to each other, or to them
selves in corporate form. and thus to substitute
great combinations for multiple competition.
This process has become so familiar In Great
Britain that 1t now, as our correspondent says
attracts little attention, except from investors
It seems TO be generally agreed that 1t is quite
the proper thing, the busnesske thing, the
thing in accord with progress enterprise and
advanced civilization. No political issue Is
raised against it, 1t Is recognized as not a po-
ltica but an economic subject, and the dis
NAL science" of economics is one which the
average man prefers to take on faith. And So
as was long Ego most truthfully remarked. Free
Trade England is 'plastered all over with
trusts" This may not be an agreeable fact to
those who regard combinations Of capital as
the sum of human villanies and as possible
only under a protective tarff-indeed, as Gre
ated and fostered by Protection. But not a
few cynical Cobdenites In England are so re-
CARELESS Of what Lowell dubbed Kettelopoto-
inachia that they do not hesitate to point to the
formation Of trusts In the United States as
evidence Of the incorrigbe iniquity Of Protec-
ton. Nevertheless 1t is a fact that trusts ex-
LIST In Great Britain just as they do here; from
which the average level headed layman will de-
duce this fact, that they are the outcome not
Of Protection per sc. nor Of Free Trade per Sc,
but of Industrial competition. In one country
Protection creates industries, there arises com
| petition among them, and when this becomes
too keen relief Is sought In trusts. In another
country Free Trade creates industries, and ex-
acty the same process is pursued, to the same
end, namely, trusts.
The industrial atmosphere Of Great Britain
Is, moreover. pre-emnently favorable TO the
origin and growth Of trusts, for several reasons
entirely apart from any question Of the tariff.
That country was the chief birthplace of the
factory system, under which individual indus.
! try was abolished or merged into collective in
dustry. A thousand cottage looms, operated
separately and In competition with each other,
gave place TO one great power loom. A host Of
small FORCES were supplanted by single nam.
moth machine shop. So on, through nearly all

THE DAY AT RENNES.

Thanks TO NJ Labori. we are getting some
mighty interesting reading" from Renhes'
The reports Of yesterdays proceedings IN tne
court. for example. Let us note few salient
details They will show us how mans I'D
erty. life and honor may be disposed OF uhuer
a system of miltarism run mad.
First General Mercier He admitted that ne
had submitted secret documents to the court
martial that condemned Captain Dreyfus. lie
knew he had no right to do so. formally, where
fore he did so informally! And then ne TOOK
Mains 70 get one Of those documents back ana
m dostroy II Further searching questions he
refused to answer.
Next Colonel Maurel. who was president or
that famous. or Infamous court martial. he
declared that his mind and the minds OF his
colleagues were fully made up to condemn
Captain Dreyfus before Mercier's secret docu-
ments were laid before them. so that the latter
IN nowise affected their decision. But they
opened the secret dosser and read the first
naper. II was so dreadful that they went no
further and read no more That one docu-
ment suficed to condemn Captain Dreyfus-in
the minds. please observe, of men who had
already fully decided to condemn him. or
truth, Daniel come to judgment. Or, no; for
Daniel, being Jew, muSt nave pcch oho vi
the Dreyfus Syndicate!-
Again. NJ Labor asked these witnesses what
was that unspeakably terrific first document
IN the secret dossier, which had the effect OF
causing conviction in minds already fully con-
WINGED and of restraining Judges from exam
lining other equally valid testimony placed De-
fore them They refused to answer, and the
Court sustained them in the refusal, because II
might involve France In a foreign war. But 1t
Is perfectly we'll known that the paper in
question was the notorious letter containing the
allusion 10 "Cette canaille de D. which
MERCER told the Court meant Captain Dreyfus,
although he now admits that at the time he
knew il did not refer to him. That Is the aw-
full secret. the divulging Of which would bring
on "the wrecks of matter and the crush or
worlds
Finally. there came what alone was needed
TO perfect the comedy. This was one Miller,
a blind paralytic. He testified that he-desp1te
his paralysis-had visited Potsdam with "a
friend" had entered the imperial palace, had
walked into the Emperor's bedroom-it must
have been the Emperor's bedroom, for his
friend told him ii was.-and there on the
Emperors table. had seen-despite his blind
ness-a newspaper with a marked item with
marginal note. in the Emperors own hand
writing. discriminating Captain Dreyfus.
After that what more is needed? Evidently,
messieurs, "Cette canaille de D" is the iden-
teal youth who fired tn Ephesian dome
Likewise he is the man who struck BILLY

PRICES AND THE COST OF LIVING


Approaching fully If not tenderly. the woes
Of our friends the enemy in these days of Ding
ley duties and Mckinley prosperity, The Trib-
une can make much allowance for their avidity
in seizng upon every quotation of prices which
seems 10 show that the cost Of living has been
increased. If they mix up statements for diff
ferent dates which do not relate to the same
thing or pick the highest retail price for one
date and the lowest for another, their sorrows
are an excuse II nothing can be done to make
people believe that Mckinley prosperity is I'M
real and that they are somehow defrauded,
what Is to become Of n poor Free Trader?
Still 1t would be good sense not to mix up re-
tail prices too much with any comparison in
tended to influence the minds OF voters who
have practical sense. Most of them know by
experience that you can find several retail prices
the same day for the same thing in almost every
city or town. This was shown by the investi-
CATION Of the cost TO the people OF various ar
tices Of tlnware few years ago, when the
same coffee pot sold at different New-York re-
tail stores the same day all the way from Is 70
SO cents each, the same tin cup from TO 1S
cents and the same pans all the way from 10 to
1S cents the retail prices Mt all points, the low
est as we'll as the highest showing profit Of
from 80 to 800 per cent on the wholesale prices
al the same time
Prices Of many articles have advanced greatly
this year. The general average Of wholesale
prices is now higher than II has been since early
In 1894, and only little lower than II was at
the worst point Of the panic in 1893, about Au-
gust 10. But the fact that prices were then
shade higher, and with the exception Of n single
month in 1892 always had been higher for forty
years. than they are even now after a consider
able advance, shows that the purchasing power
Of wages In money Is not, as some assert less
than II was before the panic II is In fact.
greater even now than 1t was during the panic
or In previous years Of prosperity. The people
are getting in many lines higher wages than
were ever paid before. except In deprecated
currency, and in nearly every line fully as
high as ever. but their money buys more Of
commodities al wholesale, and In view Of the
rapid increase Of department stores. which have
been undertaking many retail dealers probably
much more at retail than in any year prior 10
1894.
The country did not prosper 20 any surprising
extent when prices were lower under Demo
