GREAT CONFEDERATION
At Clay CitY-Business Portion
of the Town in Ashes.

The most disastrous fire in the his.
tory of Clay City occurred on Friday
morning after ! O'Clock. The fire
originated in the second story OF
Merriett's saloon. The following
houses were burned: The saloon,
Clarke's store, John Turner's and
the Blue Grass groceries. j. W.
Williams dry goods store, Baker &
Wareworth's general store, Mrs. Jen-
ME Russel's boarding house and a
dwelling.
The fire apparatus of the Clay City
Lumber Co.'S. plant was brought into
service and no doubt much property
was saved by its use. The company
has several hundred feet of 8 inch
hose and this was connected to the
main along the street which is sup
piled with water by the power at the
mill.

THE only trusts which have
succeeded for any length Of time
have been those which have been
conducted on far-sighted basis
of moderate margins of profit, re-
lying upon a large turnover and
the economies resulting from the
command Of large capital intelli-
gently administered.
They are the only trusts that
should be permitted to exist.

TRUSTS.

1t has been shown that the rail.
road trust, the first trust to be
organized in this country was not
an unmitigated evil. The proof Of
it was that the trust reduced its
rates on shipping enormously and
that the general public was saved
more than two billions and a half
dollars under the average traffic
rates since its organization. Had
the rate that prevailed before the
trust was organized been con-
tinued all the years the aggregate
increase profits Of the roads in the
trust would have been more than
six billions. That amount was
saved by the people. Neither the
consignor nor the consignee pays
the freight. The consumer pays
it when he buys. To the sale
price Of every article of merchan-
disc is added the freight charges
by the merchant, hence the
reduced traffic charge was a saving
for the people.
But the railroad trust methods
are not adopted by all trusts. All
trusts do not save the people
money. Neither do all trusts
increase the profits Of labor in
harmony with the profits Of capital.
When aggregate capital becomes
selfish, failing to reduce the cost
Of its productions for the benefit
Of the consumer, or fails to increase
the price of labor employed in the
productions, then the trust is an
evil that should be squelched i'm
mediately and effectively. There
are trusts to-day that have unlim-
tied power in their fields and
which have become tyranical in
the abuse Of this possessed power.
They attempt to crush out of cx-
istance all competition by methods
positively criminal.
Trusts that say to retailer, as
many of them have said and are
saying, you can not sell our
goods if you sell those of other
manufacturers" are adopting CO.
erciVe powers that no one
canapprove defend, or miti-
gate. No one would be silly
enough to attempt it. Trusts
that stop producing simply to in
crease the price of their produc-
tons, when their capital invested
is giving them a fair reward. equal
to that Of the labor employed, are
unmitigated evils and would be
