AS Attorney General Griggs says, 1.-The
danger in the large combinations of capital
which are now forming is not so much to
the community at large as to the people who
are induced TO put their money into the
purchase of the stock issued by them" A
Now York telegram calls attention to this
same danger. The new combinations or
trusts are not formed, as the Journal point
ed out few days ago, to control the mar
ket, but rather to sell the stock and bonds
issued by the promoters who have secured
the consent of the owners of factories and
shops TO put them into a combination.
Manufacturers have sold their plants at
large prices. The plants have been capital
lied at figures far above their actual value
at figures upon which dividends cannot be
earned. These stocks have been put upon
the market and are now the basis of ex-
tensive gambling. That is, those who buy
them do not intend to hold them as an in
vestmert, but expect TO make something by
further advances and to sell out before the
decline comes. In Wall street no reputable
dealer buys and sells such stocks, but Gus
toners are advised to let them alone 1t is
q craze which has been worked up by pro-
moters. London has been having something
like the same craze in trading in indus
trials" In London, travelling circus for
which the proprietor asked s., $50 900 has been
capitalized for s35Oo,OOO and the stock put
upon the market and sold. When this
speculation shall have had its run most of
the industries which have been put into
combines or trusts will fall into the hands
of the original owners.

AS the above shows. this is not the first

Antitrust Laws.
New York Tribune.

Laws which do not clearly define a crime
against the public. laws which declare that
the exercise of natural right without harm
to anybody is crime. are themselves a
crime against the public The price which IL
would be a crime to fix one year might he
a blessing to all the next. An oil or sugar
or rail combination which should now de-
mand the price by everybody known 10 be
a blessing not long ago would indeed he
guilty of q crime. What law what conceiV-
able device of words, can define what limit
OF supply or regulation of price is now and
for years to come shall be against the pub
lie welfare, and therefore a crime against
the State? But this is the very essence Of
the problem which legislation against COM
binfions has TO solve.

TWO PERILOUS DINNERS.

The dinners on Jefferson's birthday. in
New York, may prove the undoing of Col
Bryan. He openly declined to dine with the
Democratic club of which Mr. Croker is the
head, and for which Mr.. Perry Belmont is
sued the invitations. The reason assigned
for Colonel Bryan's refusal is that Mr. Bel
mont and his associates did not support the
silver heresy and its candidate in 1896. If
Mr.. Belmont, for himself and his friends.
had declared conversion to 16 to /, Col.
Bryan would have accepted the invitation
and his conscience would not have been
troubled because Tammany paid ten dollars
for the dinner he ate. Besides, Colonel
Bryan inferred that 16 TO 1 and the rest of
the platform of 1896 would be a proper topic
for discussion at the banquet This is be-
cause he does not agree with Mr. Belmonts
opinion that sufficient themes are suggested
by the teachings of Thomas jefferson with
out devoting speeches to the silver-mine
owners cause. Perhaps Mr.. Bryan knows
now that all that Jefferson wrote upon the
coinage question advocated a ratio for
coinage based upon the mercantile values
of the two metals, and that adhesion to
Jefferson's opinion would now make the
ratio 90 to ], instead of 16 to l. In short. it
is Organism, not Jeffersonism, that Colonel
Bryan wishes to promulgate wherever he
appears.
There is said TO be trouble about the dol
lar dinner. Those who are behind the move
ment held meeting on Sunday All who as
sembled were opposed to Tammany, but the
silverites were but a small portion of the
promoters. The labor element in the move
ment are Socialists and men with all sorts
of ideas hostile to present conditions. When
it was proposed that free coinage of silver
should be made the feature of the OCCASION
the Socialists and others objected They
were willing to have Mr.. Bryan invited, but
silver politics were not eschewed, this ele-
ment would bolt and organize a 50-cent din
ner. An angry debate followed, but the labor
men prevailed. The 81 banquet will be as
anti-silver the $40 banquet. Colonel Bryan
is invited, and with him, Governor Pingree,
Mayor Jones, of Toledo (Socialist. and 9TH
ers who hold views allied to socialism. If
Colonel Bryan accepts the 81 invitation un-
der the conditions imposed he will appear
as preferring to associate on public occa-
sions with agitators and Socialists, who
have not been Democrats rather than with
men who have always been Democrats and
would be now if the Democratic national
convention had not ignored the financial
teaching of Thomas Jefferson.

roads shows the prospective value Of such
franchises. a large portion of Indiana and
the most thickly populated. is comparatively
level. making the construction of electric
lines comparatively easy. That the number
of such lines will greatly increase during
the next few decades there can be no doubt
and county commissioners should be made
TO understand that the franchises are valu-
able. In disposng of them they should either
invite competition or adopt some rule that
will insure fair equivalent for what is
granted.

If the reports can be relied upon, there
win be an interesting season in the United
States Senate when the seat of Senator
elect Clark. Of Montana, shall be contested
on the ground of bribery. Mr.. Daily. another
silver-mine owner. claims to have the evil
dence 10 prove that the Republicans who
elected Mr.. Clark were hired to do so. There
was a report that Nj. DAILY had been in
duced TO let Mr.. Clark alone, but now 1t is
given out that he is anxious to go on IL
the Republicans in the Senate will give
fair hearing.
