CONCERNING TRUSTS.
Excerpts from Speeches at the
Chicago Conference.
THE FUNCTION OF GOVERNMENT.

THE FUNCTION OF GOVERNMENT.
That government only is just ane
| beneficent which has neither favor
ties nor victims. Government can
not create anything. And if it can
not create anything it has nothing
| of its own to bestow. fit under
| takes to enrich one individual tht
thing which it gives to him it mus
| take from another. A government
cannot be just and generous at tht
same time, for if it be generous tC
one it must be oppressive to another
| If it do a favor it must have vitcim
| The most that government can le
ultimately do is to be just, impair
tial. Not merely must its laws be
impartial, its courts impartial, It's ex-
ecutive officers impartial, but the
agencies that it empowers to dis,
charge functions essentially public
must be impartial in that service to
every human being within the linn
its of the state.
| PREVENT DISCRIMINATION.
1t is q common remark that trusts
have lowered prices and it is true
also that they have never raised
them by more than small fraction
of the amount genuine monopolies
would have added to the competi-
tive and natural rate. 1t is the po-
tential competitor who is the cause
of this competition that to-day is
latent but will be active tomorrow
if the price of an article is raised by
one per cent, holds the price as rig
orously down at the natural level as
an active competition would do. 1t
is the policy of discrimination that
should be suppressed. The evil
power OF trust rests almost entire
ly on its power to make discrimina-
ting prices. 1t can do many things
that are evil; but it could do almost
none Of them if the law would force
them to treat all its customers alike.
At present a trust can make ruin
ously low prices on one small area,
where some competitor is operating,
recouping itself for the losses sus-
tanned by a slight temporary ad-
vance in price at some other point or
a remuneration from simply main
tanning the field against its compel
itors. If it were under the single
necessity of making one price to all
buyers, it would ruin itself by any
attempt to compete in the cut-throat
way as quickly as it would ruin a
competitor.

There is feature Of trusts which
in practice is regarded, certainly in
the abstract, as reprehensible, THE
practice of shutting down the mills
to control the supply in order to
keep up the price. This stopping
of production until a demand en-
hances prices also causes harmful
effects in adding to the distress of
men deprived of employment by
shutting down the mills.

FRUITFUL CAUSE
OF TROUBLE.

Booker T. Washington, president of the
Tuskegee Normal and Collegiate Institute
and, perhaps, the most widely known col
ored man in the United States, answering
the request of prominent colored man in
North Carolina as to what should be done
to allay the present conflict between the
races" says:
Il have been asking myself lately some
rather serious questions and want to put
one or two of them to you. Is there any
reason why the negroes in the South
should continue to oppose the Southern
white man and his politics? Is this not
the source CT nearly all our troubles.
'Unconsciously we seem to have gotten
the idea into our blood and bones that we
are only acting in manly way when we
oppose Southern white men with our votes.
I'm some way, by some method, we
must bring the race to the point where it
will cease to feel that the only way for it
to succeed is to oppose everything sug-
gested or put forth by the Southern white
men.
This | consider one of our real prob
lens. | believe that there are thousands
of white democrats in North Carolina who
are 30 per cent. better friends to the negro
than Governor Russell. see no necessity
in continuing to follow Governor Russell,
who has no power to protect, or if he has
the power does not exercise it, rather than
these other white men who can protect US
if we cease continually and forever to OPP
pose them"

HAYES AND THE
WORKINGS

The Workingmcn's Association has in
dorsed Mr. Thomas G. Hayes for Mayor.
Four mass meetings will be held under
the auspices of the association during the
campaign These meetings will be adj
dressed by leading labor men.
The meeting of the association ut which
Mr.. Hayes was indcrsed was held last
Saturday night at Rechabite Hall 1t was
a noisy one, the friends of Mayor Master
present making much confusion in their
attempt to prevent the Endorsement of
Mr.. Hayes. The Master men were led by
Messrs. W. o. Beckenbaugh and Henry
Ruesskamp. Behind these leaders were,
it is said, a number of employees of the
city government, Mr.. Reusskamp being
an employee of the water department.
After the meeting had adjournd Messrs
Beckenbaugh and Ruesskamp suggested
the holding of another meeting to indorse
Mayor Master. During the meeting a
squad of police, under Sergeant Loane
was present to prevent trouble. it being
feared that the more al lent and enthusias
tic supporters of the two lelding andi-
dates mi ght engage in personal alterca-
ton. No such trouble arose.

Err UPPER MARLBOROUGH MARYLAND APRIL ID 1899


State Treasurer Shrvock announces that
the board of public works has agreed 1n
dispose of the States holdings in the
Baltimore and Potomac Railroad
The State owns ST., 600 of the stock of
the road, which WAS recently advertised
for sale Ivy the hna~d Of public works
The only bid received for the stock WAS
made by The Pennsylvania Railroad Com
panv, of which road thr Baltimore and
Potomac is n branch. The Pennsylvania
offered To take the stock ut 81, 100 per
share. This will Weld the State 81. $50
While the amount offered is small in com
parison to the amount invested hv the
State, the receipt of the money will come
in the shape of Il windIall, rs the owner
ship of this stock seems to have been lost
sight of in the comptrollcr'S office. This
is partly due to the fact that the LcgiSla-
tnrc of 1892 passed joint resolution
authorizing the wiping from the States
books of worthless and unproductive
asset. Among the items stricken off was
the Baltimore and Potomac stock
Treasurer Shryock, while "housc-clcan-
ing in his office, discovered that the Staff
was the poSSeSsor of this stock and at once
set to work to trace it up. The subscrip-
ton by the State to the stock IF the Bati-
more and Potomac Railroad Company
was made under authority of chapter 4o4
of the acts of 1868, entitled IAN act to aid
"a. l.. II
provementS in St Marvs. Charles and
Calvert counties" The State had been
so completely victimized and involved in
debt by subscriptions to railroads and
canals that ut one time reputation was
imminent. The constitutional convention
of 1861 wisely determined To put Il stop To
this business, aud so by section 81. act ),
of the constitution. the General Assembly
was prohibited from lending any aid Ivy
making any appropriation or lending the
credit of the State to any work of internal
improvement. But to this one exception
was made.
OF the millions lavished upon railroads
and canals three counties. namely, ST.
Marys, Charles and Calvert. had received
no benefit, although they had contribut-
ed their proportion of taxes. 1t was
accordingly provided in this clause of the
constitution that the Legislature should
have the power to subscribe half-million
dollars for improvements in those three
counties. The act of 1868 was designed
to give effect to this clause ofthe constitu-
ton, and $4,000 was apportioned to
Charles county. 1t was this sum that the
Baltimore and Potomac Company got
The board of public works will confirm
the sale at the next meeting. Governor
Lowndes, in speaking of the sale, said he
believed the offer made by the Pennsy.-
vania to be as good a bid as could be ex-
pcctcd, and, therefore, favored the sale.

Democrats are not the only ones who
regard the Philippines as an undesirable
possession. Representative Steele, Of
Indiana, staunch supporter of the ad-
ministration, who passed through Wash-
ington day or two ago said Of them
so far as | am concerned, | would like to
trade the Philippine islands for a yellow
dog, and then kill the dog, if there were
nothing else involved but possession of
the islands"

DEFEAT IN SAMOA.

The situation at Samoa is becoming
strained and serious. This is the Sc
cond time Il crisis has occurred there
In 1889 the United States, Germany
and England. as now, had warships
watching each other near Apia. While
thus engaged hurricane caused the
loss of six warships, with ten other
vessels. and the drowning OF l42 Off,
GERS and men Of the American and
German squadrons To that loss is
now added the killing of 4 number OF
American and English officers and
men by the rcbellious savaccs.
Advices received "Wednesday state
hat an American and British force
was ambushcd by Mataafa rebels April
first near Apia, the Samoan capital,
and defeated. Four Americans and
three men of the British force were
killed and five Americans and one
DrltOn were wounded.
The news was sent from Apia by
steamer to Auckland, New Zealand,
where it arrived Wednesday and was
cabled.
The Americans killed were all of the
cruiser Philadelphia. They were :
Lieut.. Philip Van Horne Lansdale,
Ensign John II. Monaghan, Coxswain
James Butler, Seaman Norman E.
Edsall The British killed were Lieut..
Angel II. Freeman, Of the navy, and
two seamen. Five men from the
Philadelphia and Seaman Hunt, of the
British cruiser Porpoise were wounded.
The ambuscade, according to the
dispatches. occurred on German
plantation. The manager of the plan
tation was arrested and detained on
the British cruiser Tauranga Aflida-
Wits were made declaring that he was
seen urging rebels to fight.
Samoans say that Mataafa, the rebel
leader, was willing to surrender, but
that Herr Rose, the German consul,
advised him not to do so.
Further trouble of an extremely
critical nature is feared in Samoa.
There are also new possibilities of in
ternational complications involving the
United States and Great Britain
which support Malletoa, the reigning
Samoan King, and the Germans, who
support Mataata.
Grave apprehension is felt in Wash,
ington. Congressman Hull, of Iowa
said: III Germany persits in her pres.
cnt course there may be war" He
also said that the people of tie West
believe Germany was hostile to the
United States in the Spanish war.
Other members of Congress expressed
pacific views.
Excitement in Berlin and London
was caused by the news from Apia.
The German government, it is under
stood, holds that it is not to blame. but
British foreign officials regard the
course of Herr Rose, the German con
sui, as one of the leading causes of the
latest outbreak
Final action in sending to Samoa the
commission which will deal with the
situation is understood to he still de-
!ayed by the British government, as it
desires to instruct its commissioner by
mail instead Of by cable.
The view is held in German circles
in Washington that much of the delay
in settling the Samoan troubles, as
we'll as the grave aspect the troubles
have assumed, is due to desire on the
part Of Great Britain to bring about
an armed alliance with the United
States
