CONCLUSIONS OF THR CHICAGO
TRUST" CONFERENCE.

Upon specific teuets about trusts,
however, the conference presented the
widest variety Of opinions. The ut
terances from the platform, certainly
various enough in point Of doctrine,
did not exhibit the members entire
latitude of conviction. Among those
who had Obviously reflected upon the
subject one could, however, trace more
or less roughly the following crystal
liz atoms Of creed q do not go into de.
taiO:
1, That trusts are a natural evolu.
ton of the economic forces now in
play and will therefore be found to be
not only permanent in spite of all at
tecks. but good and beneficial al we'll,
whatever to the contrary may now
seem to be the CASE. This was, in es.
seUca, George Gunton's plea.
2 That trusts are mainly, or wholly,
the product Of vicious legislation Civ
ing special privileges to powerful cor.
porations; are not the product Of eco.
nomic law; are wholly evil and bane-
full in their efforts; and can be and
ought to be put down by law. This
idea lay at the basis of Mr.. Bryan's ad-
dress. Bryon Holt elaborated the
thought as it relates to protective tar m
and free trade.
3 The view Of most of the political
economists in the conference.-the, it
may be said, contributed the bulk Of
the seasoned thinking with which the
sessions we're favored-that trusts were
mainly, though not wholly, the result
Of economic evolution, 30 that all talk
OF suppressing them is idle; that they
may become very deleterioUs notWith-
standing this, raising the effective cost
OF goods to consumers, erecting and
intensifying class distinctions, retard-
ing invention, and vitiating our po-
litical life; and that therefore they
must be carefully watched and studied
till we see what regulation Of them is
necessary, and then checked and
snubbed by legislation, as they can
be if proper wisdom is exercised, to
keep them the servants of the people
and not allow them become it's op-

PROFITS OF COTTON MILLS.

When it was reported a few weeks
ego that the Clover Cotton Mill had
declared a dividend of about forty. one
per cent. the people Of the South were
hardly prepared to believe it. The
New England people were simply par
alyzed by the bare statement. They
thought it must have been a typo
graphical error, but the news was
later verified. Before they have fully
recovered from their surprise, the news
comes OF still another record break
ing mill dividend from Georgia. The
Grown Cotton Mill, of Dalton, de-
clares a dividend of SO per cent.-8S
per cent. in stock and 10 per cent. in
cash. It is said that this beats the
worlds records in cotton mill divi-
dends. Further, the Crown Mills di-
rtcaors have appropriated 800, 600 for
the erection Of an additional mill. The
South ought to be entirely contented
with the outlook when it has mills de.
claring dividends from Al to 90 per
cent.-Charlotte Observer.

A
Supt Mebane's Advice to Public Teach
ers.

ers.
Prof. G. Il Mebane, the Superintend
ent of Public instruction, strikes for
temperance in a letter which he Issued
last week TO the county superintend-
ents and teachers Of the public schools
in the State.
In part he says: II wish to call your
attention to Section "A Of the S3hool
Law: The nature Of alcoholic drinks
and narcotics shall be taught in the
common or free schools Of the State
IF we are to become a sober, tenn
perate people, We must look to the
rising generations. A large per cent.
of the men and women-what a pity
we must name women who are
slaves to narcotics and a~lchoholic
drinks will never be reclaimed fl om
the miserable bands which are crush
ing their lives, their hopes and happi
ness, and hurrying them on to fill I'M
timely graves. Then how important
it is that the awful consequences of
these narcotics and drinks be impressed
upon the minds and hearts of the
children.
what strong drink is doing for the
men from twenty to fifty years of age,
the same, to a wonderful extent, the
cigarette and tobacco are doing for the
boys from twelve to twenty years OF
age.
The time has come for teachers to
cry aloud and spare not. I car not ii
our school fund is increased some from
LIQUOR license. The more's the pity.
1 care not if tobacco men give their
thousands to colleges and educational
institutions. This ought not, and will
shut the mouth Of any true teacher
against these evils.
Yea. what shall it profit US if our
cubic school, funds are increased and
our colleges are handsomely endowed
if our boys and girls r to be ruined
LET our teachers and county super
intendents, too, be living examples OF
total abstinence from the use of all mar.
cotics and alcoholic drinks. I like to
see a preacher practice what he
breaches, and I also like to see a
teacher live the life he sets up az a
model for his pupils as nearly as pos
sible.
