NATURAL CHECKS TO MO-
NOPOLY.

The conference which has been
called to discuss the matter OF trusts,
meets in Chicago on Wednesday OF
next week, Sept 18th, and continues
four days. The. two main points to
which the attention of the conference
will be directed are, whether the So.
called trusts increase or diminish the
cost of producing commodities. and
whether they tend to increase or d1-
diminish the prices that are exacted
from consumers for these commodities.
Matthew Marshall, in his weekly fl
nancial letter the New York Sun, in
referring to the conference, and COM
ment1ng upon the problems the com,
bines have brought up, speaks of some
Of the difficulties of dealing with the
problem by law, such as the forbid
ding of the formation of large cor
porations fixing the prices of products,
also wages by law. This he looks upon
as futile, as well as that of denying
the workingman the liberty of joining
or not as he pleases, labor organiza-
tion. Such legislation along either
line would SAVIOR of tyranny. In speak
ing of the natural checks to monopoly,
Marshall says:
In the evolution of modern society
two antagonistic forces are at work.
One is the tendency to aggregation
and Capitalization which manifests
itself not only in the industrial COM
binations which are to be discussed at
Chicago next week, but in the con-
solidation of railroad companies, in
the absorption Of small financial in
situations by large ones, in the pass
ing Of the retailing business into the
the control of department. stores, and
in the growth Of trades unions.
Against this force are arrayed the
steady increase of capital seeking en-
ployment and of the number of capa-
BILE and am bilious men eager to use it,
while every year the birth Of human
beings brings accessions to the army
Of laborers to whom employment is a
necessity and enlarges it beyond the
possibility Of control.
Add to these checks on monopoly
the mental and physical limitations
of human nature, which set bounds of
of the magnitude Of industrial as well
as of political organizations capable Of
, being managed by single head. and
it will be seen that the dream of COM
blning all the capital of the country
on one side and all its labor on the
other is impossible OF realization.

Napoleon could, for a short time, make

c. c. Whitney in Marshall Messenger:
We learned fact valuable to Mar
shall while at Litchfield last week,
while taking in the town behind a
good team driven by our old Marshall
friend, AL. Whitaker. He explained
why Litchfield has some seven or
eight miles Of fine stone sidewalk.
The city pays one.third the cost of
all stone walks, and two-thirds paid
by the individual is no more than
would be the cost of the ordinary
plank walk. The citizen is assured
of good walk forever, and the city
is out nothing because of the saving
made in repairs that would be made.

the license for Buffalo Bill's show at

The amount was fixed by vote of the
council, the excuse being that they

the recorder made mistake in fol-
lowing the council instead Of the or

which inaugurated the move.

turrets Of Castle Tammany at the Bit

these banners to the breeze whenever
one of his colts wins and they have
been waving considerably this season.
They have never been unfurled as often
for any one colt as for Sadducee. This
youngster is making a phenomenal rec
ord in the East this year. He is 9
year-old, by imported Bathampton, out
of Sadie, she by Salvador Aurel!a. The
colt was bred on the ranch and was ia
ken East this spring with the bunch of
promising gallopers that left the ranch
for the big tracks. Saturdays race
gave him a record of 10 starts and 10
wins and he has not yet been run no

he has in him.

Missoula, July 1.-THE damage that
has been done to the orchards of West
ern Montana continues to be a theme
for discussion among the orchardists.
Some of them report that their trees
have not suffered at all and others say
that they have lost fully one-third of
their orchards. A trip through the val
ley is sufficient to show that the loss
in some cases has been serious and
that many fine trees were severely in
jured by the hard winter. In favored
parts of the valley, however, the or
chards look as well and thrifty as they
ever did and the crop will, in these dis
tricts, be as good as usual.
