THE TRUST ERINCIPL u,

In a late Issue of the Mississip.
pi Valley Lumbermau, MIR. T. B.
Walker the we'll known capitalist
and writer on economic subjects,
has an able article on TRUSTS,
in which he says:

any manner justified? Well. the
trust principle is not one of fair
methods and equal rights. 1t at

goods shall be sold and material
purchased. It will not hesitate
to adop: methods for destroying
the bus aess of anyone who re-
fuses to join in the trust move
ment. The object of law is to
give to every individual equal
rights, and to prevent the unjust
encroachment of any one person
or any combination of persons
upon the rights of another. These
combinations encroach upon the
rights of others. They attempt
to take an undue advantage by
controlling the market, and they
are likely in the and to produce
trade disturbances, panics and
even possibly worse conditions.

Il DISGRACE TO DIE RICH

Il DISGRACE TO DIE RICH
Andrew Carnage, who during
the past week has disposed of
his vast iron and steel interests
to his employees, in an interview
published in a London paper is
quoted as saying that Ito die
rich is to die disgraced".
In this interview Mr.. Carnegie
was asked if he had sold from
fear or dislike of the trusts, and
was quoted as saying:

Mr.. Carnegie's attention was
called to paragraph in a Lon.
don paper which referred to his
famous declaration that Ito die
rich is to die disgraced," and he
was asked what he was going to
do with the 100000, 1000 he had
amassed.
"Tell the editor" replied Mr..
Carnegie, "to watch and see. I

JOHN A. CLARK IN JAIL.


~s.A.o A'ASASA ASS~DC0 Va ODt0AMe
ing Money By Fraud.
John A. Clark, q mining broker and
formerly tho central figure In a local min
ing exchange, was arrested last night by
Bert Taylor. Of the Bancroft patrol. on a
charge Of obtaining money under false
pretenses.
The complainant against Clark Is 8. c.
Smith, First avenue cigar dealer, who
says that several days ago Clark induced
him to cash a check for $3.50, signed by
himself and drawn on the Puget Sound
National bank. Smith says that Clark told
him at that time that he had money in
the bank to meet the check.
The next morning when Smith went to
his place of business he claims he found
a note from Clark asking him not to pre-
sent the cheek that day. and promising
to call and take 1t up. Several days passed,
Smith claims, ard Clark did NOT come to
his store. Then he presented the cheek fer
payment, which was refused. Smith says
the bank people told him that several
checks signed by Clark had been refused
payment.
Last night Smith determined to cause
Clark's arrest, and obtaining the services
of Taylor he hunted him up and had him
taken into custody.
Clark is well known among local mining
men. For several months he seemed to
have plenty of money.

~ ROBABLY few Populist leaders will

commissioner. Mr.. Bridges was several

from fusion politicians by pinning James

Mr.. Lewis had expressed himself rather
