Santa Fe new Mexican. [volume] (Santa Fe, N.M.) 1898-1951, 1899-03-24

The free delivery letter system was
put in force at Victor, Colo, on Monday
morning. Three carriers cover the city.
The houses have been numbered and
the streets named, a fact which had
some bearing Upon securing the system
for Victor, and now helps to make the
system work smoothly from the start.
AS Far as Importance is concerned, San
ia Fee is far ahead of Victor, though the
latter town has a slightly larger popu-
lation, and it seems strange that Santa
Fe should be denied what has been
granted to Victor. The New Mexican
believes that if Santa Fe streets We're
named and the houses numbered the
free delivery system could, by proper
effort, be secured for this city. 1t would
not only mean the employment of three
or four of the city's residents at salaries
aggregating $4,000 a year, but would al
so prove a great convenience to local
business people and other residents, and
might be the means of securing several
additional mails to Santa Fee, whose
mail facilities at the present are none
of the best.

William JENNINGS BRYAN and Banuuets,

Colonel William J. Bryan has deliv-
on the non-political topic of banquets.
The Colonel must have been sighted or
missed when the invitations to some
important political banquet had been
sent out, for he delivered himself some
what as follows: "One of the most ia
mou banquets of ancient times was the
Babylonian feast, given by the king tC
a thousand of his lords on the last night
of his reign. One of the noted banquets
of modern times vas the dinner giver
at Delmonico's in honor of Mr.. Blaine
neal the close of his campaign. 1t was
so widely criticised by political oppo-
| nents that some thought it lost Mr.
Blaine enough votes to change the re.
suit of the election in the state of New
York"
Colonel Bryan continues to prove tc
the satisfaction of his admirers that the
Democratic party is the party of cheap
~banquets. of 81 to So a plate, while the
Republican party is the party of expen-
sive banquets, of from S. to $40 a plate
The moral he draws from this imag-
mary condition is that the Democrats
are the people, while the Republicans
are the nabobs.
The deliverance is in the usual strair
of the colonel, with n flavor of asceti.
cism and sou grapes added thereunto
There is great consolation in the fac
that, according to election returns
there are more nabobs than people ir
this country.

Trusts.

This country has many pessimists,
and this class believes the nation is go
ing to the bow-wows because within the
| last few months nearly every industry
has organized itself into a trust. Now,
the word trust has a very wide mean
ing, and it is the favorite bugaboo that
demagogues hold up to brighten a peo-
pie. Whenever a legislator wants to
make the impression that he is a friend
of the people he introduces an anti
trust law in the legislature or in con-
gress. The antitrust legislation so far
enacted is very formidable. but it has
to this day failed to kill trusts, and,
what is more, no antitrust law ever
will kill trusts.
Trusts are a product of evolution.
They are a natural result of COMPETE
ton. Competition may be the life of
trade, but it is the death of the business
italists unite and form trusts to kill
competition. This is not done, as many
foolishly believe, by raising prices, but
by lowering them to such a notch that
no n can successfully compete with
them. Trusts have cheapened the ne
cessities and luxuries of life, their ac-
ton has been beneficent in many re-
spects, and becomes dangerous only
employed by them to suppress COMPETE
ton, as for instance in the case of the
Standard Oil Company. In a certain
sense the United States government is
sole right to govern 5000, 900 of people.
The post Office department is a trust
that has absorbed the business that was
formerly a source of profit to thousands
agents. Every large business is to a GER
tain extent a trust, and it would be as
foolish, if it were not also impossible, to
abolish trusts as to prevent n coop
Grafton of individuals for profit, for
pleasure or for other purposes. Trusts
have come to stay, legislation cannot
abolish them; it can only keep them
from using their power in a vicious and
in an oppressive manner. Trusts pre-
vent the waste, the injustice, the merci-
lessness of unbounded competition, and
as such cheaper to the consumer all
products they control. 1t Is for that rea-
son that the average man car look with
complacency upon the Formations of the
iron trust, the glass trust, the wire
trust, the smelter trust, and the hun
dreds of other trusts being organized
every day at present. He seems to feel
that trusts are a sign of prosperity and
as inevitable a part of commercial and
industrial evolution as the introduction
of labor-saving machinery and the dis
covery of new chemical and mechanical
processes.

There is something of a difference be-
tween the financial expectations of
English and Scotch capitalists and
manufacturers and the anne class of
men in the United States. For instance,
ship-builders on the Clyde are satisfied
with profits of 3 to 6 per cent per an
mum. American builders would be para
lyzed at the idea of n such standard
being established in this country. Elk
pectation of inordinate profits, and that,
too, in a short time, is characteristic of
the American investor, whose rush for
the almighty dollar is so continuous and
so severe. European investors are salts
fed with moderate compensation, but
the American will TAXI the earth If he
can. -
