TRUST QUESTION
DISCUSSED AT LENGTH BY CON-
GRESHAM NEWLANDS.
His Views Presented in a COmmuni-
cation to the Secretary Of the
Chicago Conference.

Congressman Newlands accepted
the invitation of the Civic Federation
at Chicago to address the recent con-
ference on trusts, held under it's au-
spices and at which Mr.. Bryan and
Burke Cochran were such conspicu-
GUS figures. At the last moment,
however, he was prevented by busi-
ness engagements from going, and,
having been requested by the secre-
tary to communicate his opinions in
writing, sent a letter in which be dis
cusses the feasibility of controlling
the trust by Federal taxation, and
from whlnh we take the following ex-
tracts:
RENO. New, Sept. 20, 1899
Ralph ". Edstley, Esq, Secretary
OF Conference ON Trusts, Chicago,
W.-My dear sir: I regret my in
ability to comply with the request of
the Civic Federation to address the
conference at Chicago, and avail my
SELF with pleasure of the privilege ac-
corded me of presenting my views in
writing. shall contine myself main
ly to the remedy.
What is "A Trust?
First The term "trust" is d misno-
mer as applied to the combinations
OF capital which have aroused SO
much sohcitude. The old trust was
a combination of producers to fix the
price Of certain commodity. Such a
combination could be annulled by the
courts as an agreement in restraint of
trade. Today the same object is &C
compished in legal way, viz: By
union of capital in one great corpora
ton which purchases the property of
the independent producers and makes
them all stockholders in a common
enterprise.
Capital has learned from the labor
union the wisdom of cooperation,
and cooperation is now largely sub
stituted both in labor and capitalistic
unions for the old purposeof CON-
petition.

No remedy in Tariff TinkerinR.

Second-Tariff legislation will not
reach the difficulty. for combinations
of capital exist in England, France
and Germany, today, and the effect of
lowering the tariff wall would simply
be to substitute foreign trusts for the
domestic trusts in the CONTROL of our
markets.
The laborers now employed by our
domestic trusts would be idle; their
places would be taken by laborers
employed abroad by the foreign
trusts.
The prosperity of the republic is
founded upon the prosperity of the
American laborers. All legislation
should place the American man above
the American dollar, but it should
not, in it's endeavor to rectify tho
abuses Of American combination Of
capital, take away the employment Of
American laborers. What we should
do is to maintain for American labor
ers and American capital the practl-
cal monopoly OF the American mar
kets.
State Lesislation Will Fail.
Third-All attempts to regulate
capital by State legislation will fail,
because 1t will be impossible tc pro-
duce voluntary cooperation among
the various States,
Federal Legislation Needed.
Fourth-The only adequate remedy
is through federal Legislation, the OPP
GRAFTON of which will DO uniform

very thorough examination and
which we deem our duty to report
fully to the court, and that is the
matter of false swearing by wit
nesses who appeared before Notary
Campbell Trigg in the matter OF
the contested election Of General
Catchings by G. j. Jones.
One witness before Mr.. Trigg
swore that he saw more than two
hundred registered qualified cleo
tors present themselves to the Of
ticers of election in Greenville and
offered to vote and were denied the
right to vote by said officers.
We have examined the officers
of said election box, who are known
to us to be men of integrity and
high standing and each of them
swore positively that there were
not ten persons denied the right to
vote at said election, and those
were not qualified electors.
At Leland one witness swore be-
fore Mr.. Trigg that he saw over
eighty qualified electors present
themselves to the officers of said
election and offer to vote and that
they we're by said officers refused
the right to vote.
We have examined OH oath the
officers of that election precinct
who were also men OF integrity and
they swore that there were only
three parties denied the right to
vote at that precinct, Two ne
gros and one white man and those
because they were not qualified
electors. This was the statement
of" all the election officers, in
the Republican election
officer, himself a negro.

The action Of the Executive
Committee IN calling a convention
has provoked an cutlery from the
professional politicians, who say
that the men without means OF
time 10 attend it will be represent
ed. The wishes of this very class,
as we'll as of all the people OF the
county were considered and acted
upon in ordering the convention.
The voters expressed themselves
plainly enough on the subject OF
the annoyance and discomfort OF
beat primaries when Messrs.
Burt Cannon, Bats and Wasson
went over the county with petitions
asking tor primaries and couldn I
get anybody to sign them. The
people either wanted a convention
or we're perfectly indifferent as to
which method was used. IL was
the only petition ever circulated IN
Washington county which could
get no signers.

1t seems that Mr.. Goldstein OBJ
iects to or resents the suggestion
that he has been 'tplAcated. "
What does "placated" meant
1t is notorious that he was re-
sentful, as nearly all the citizens
of the county were, Of Coy. Mo
Laurn's treatment of him; and
moreover, in the very recent past
he WAS decidedly anti -McLourin.
Now he is an active supporter Of
the Governor. Hence he must
have been ''placsted," or concili-
ated-"appeased; pacifed; won;
gained; engaged by moral infu-
once, as by favor or affection; rec
pnciled Noah Webster hath it.
Now, as to the method or means
employed TO "placate" him, The

gest, as it has no means of know
ing. No dishonorable means were
employed, THE TMEs hopes. Ger
tainlv none such were suggested
or animated; nor is it responsible
