MEN WHO FORM TRUSTS HE'LL
SOCIALISTS.

The Socialists themselves are not pow
erful enough to change the character
of our government. as earnest as they
are and as intellectual as are many who
are in sympathy with them. The SO
cialist programme is nothing but the pro-
tective tariff carried out to logical con-
clusion, with this difference. that all the
benefits under Socialism are not to be
shared by the few who are rich enough
to buy bounties and subsidies.
Then men who are organizing trusts
are doing more to destroy individualism
and build up Socialism than all the
Socialists have been able to do since the
world began. In a recent sermon, Rev.
w. S. Rainsford, ID. d., the abiest
Episcopal preacher i'll New York city.
declared that the Christian church was
under distinct obligation to modern
socialism, and added:
Socialists have seen what the church
has not seen, and denounced what .hc
church has not denounced. say that me
present economic condition is immoral
because it is too exclusively dependent
upon competition as Il basis of socl Il
life. 1t is the law of love which modfies
competition. and Jesus discovered that.
Today we see what our fathers did not
see. The matter Of socialism IS growing
in adj the colleges of the land. II is
idle for men to try to please one class
at the expense Of displeaslng the others.
We should not rest. until we be not
driven like dumb cattle. There are agf-
tations against combines and trusts. but
the more | study this question. the more.
| am convinced that these agitations arc
misleading. The combines and trusts eX-
tinguish reckless competition. They are
economically sound. Why should not the
people buy them out? There is one thing
that bars the way,-the corruption OF
the land. The corporations and the
professions are eaten through and
through with corruption. For Gods
sake, face it.'
If one man can manage and direct all
the factories in any line, fix the price
absolutely. and put millions of dollars
in the hands of the few. it is only a
step to the place where the government
can make everything for everybody and
sell il to the consumer at cost. Be
tween government run by trusts for
private gain and a socialism, that looks
to making for all-between these two
evils. the last is much to be preferred
If the the American people are wise they
WEI not be reduced to this choice of
evils and will destroy the power of inis
breeding administration.

THE REPUBLICAN, PLAN OF CUR
RENCY REFORM.

1t was given out last week that the
I Republican Congressional Committee
had agreed upon Il comprehensive
scheme of financial legislation to be
Republican learns that the scheme in
cludes the following:
THAT the currency functions of the
reasury shall be separated from its 9th
or functions, and that a fund of $780,
OO0.000 shall be set apart for the re-
demption of the governments legal ten
der notes, and for no other purpose.
"That legal tender notes once redeemed
in gold shall not he paid out again
except in exchange for gold.
THAT the secretary shall have power
to replenish his stock of gold by the
issue of bonds when necessary"
1.-THE mountain has been in labor and
has brought forth il mouse" For twenty
years and more, the one hundred million
dollar gold reserve has been held and the
secretary has exercised the power to
sell bonds and buy gold. The provision
to retire the Treasury notes is the only
new plan. and that is introduced in the
shape proposed to enable the Treasury
Department to gradually reduce all the
Treasury notes and make way for giving
a monopoly of circulation to national
banks.
There is not only nothing of reform
in these agreements. There is nothing
new except a trick 1t would be better
for the Republicans to come out bodily
and declare their purpose to retire the
Treasury notes.

THE INSURANCE SURPLUS
WHAT TO DO WITH IT.

The decision of the New York court
that the surplus held by the Equitable
Life Insurance Company belongs to the
policy holders and I, must be divided
among the policy n Holders has caused
much discussion. IT is decision which
interests thousands of people If it
stands, there will be benefit to all pres
ent policy holders, but it is contended
that it would be a present benefit that
would impair the Strength of the COM
panies and the future ability to pay
dividends.
The reserve Of the various companies
with headquarters in New York amounts
to S151, 417,G19, aud the tax assessors
are endeavoring to collect upon it a tax
of S2,SO1 ,22J per .year. Heretofore it
has escaped taxation, on the ground that
it was ..held in trnst'' for policy holders.
The recent decision is that it is not
held in trust for policy holders.
There is no doubt that the cost Of
insurance is out of all proportion to the
protection afforded. This is appar int
from the expensive management. inn

business, and the enormous surplus piled
up by the great companies. 1t would be
much better to the insured to have q
lower premium and ID smaller surplus.
