WHAT no po WAL TRusTs.

A wave of discussion Of the merits and
demerits of the trusts seems to have
swept over the newspapers Of the COun-
try in the last few weeks The principal
papers, and great many others OF lesser
importance have been giving their opin-
ions at length. Most Of them recognize
a great evil, but very few of them seem
to have any definite plans for crushing
II out.
The Philadelphia Ledger says that the
trusts should be treated as outlaws, 1t
Is not venturing too much, however, to
intimate that the trusts have been in the
outlaw business long enough themselves
to be able to meet any such treatment on
the part of the government Other pa
pers propose the same sort Of regulation
that the Interstate Commerce Commits
sion says has so signally failed in the
case of the railroads.
Wharton Barker and his followers in
the Peoples party, together with good
many Democrats, say abolish the
trusts" This Is very easily said, but
it's accomplishment is good deal like
making water run up hill,
The Topeka Capital very truthfully
says that trusts are a natural outcome
of our economic system, and a great
many other papers, who agree with this
view of the case, do not think them alto
gether an evil They point out that the
trusts, by controlling entirely production
and distribution, are able to put prices
down much lower than could be done by
a number of dealers working on small
er scale.
But this monopoly, 1t can not be de-
MED, is essentially un-American and in
violation of all rules Of free competition.
On top Of this is the fact that the trusts
have not scrupled utterly to destroy
those who have stood in the way of their
control. They SAVIOR too much OF mon
archy to please the average American
citizen.
There happen to be, however, a large
number of people in this country who
have an entirely different idea from any
Of those entertained by representatives
Of the old parties. Recognizing the
truth that the trusts come as a part OF
the development Of our system, they
contend that there Is another step which
is the logical one to take in the situa-
tion. Holding to the idea that where
private capital fails to work to the best
advantages Of the citizens Of the country,
they urge that it is the duty Of the state
to step in and assume control and Op-
Grafton. They hold that the trusts, which
are public in their nature, should be
transferred from the hands Of private,
selfish owners to control and operation
by the public. They are willing that
the trusts should continue, but that they
should be in fact, as in theory, public
trusts.
The only argument against this en-
largement Of the public ownership idea
is that the management Of such vast in
dustries would fail II made part of the
public service. This is no argument at
all, for the fact must be considered that
the management, as far as the public Is
concerned has entirely failed with the
trusts in private hands.
