RESTRICTED COMPETITION.
It's ELECTS on The Future Welfare Of The CONNER.
oIal ITaYelOr.

BY Claude Duval oG Hutchinson, Kan
'sas at Commercial Travellers Banquet,
Kansas City, Mo-, Thursday evening
December 10th, Mt the Midland Rotel,
Fellow travellers, within the past ten
years conditions have arisen upon the
commercial horizon which in my judg-
nent are Of such vast importance to our
present and future interests, and |
might add to the interests of all COM
merclal and physical labor, as well as to
the business interests Of our country, |
cannot refrain from referring to them at
this time. First, let me ask you to
never lose sight OF this fact, that our
capital invested, Ms you we'll know, from
which we hope to derive living for
ourselves and our families Is our labor.
In the past and to Il limited extent now
our earning power has been based upon
the volume Of our sales ut u reasonable
profit above the cost Of transacting busi--
ness.
In open competition then, our com.
mercial value to our firms and to our
selves depends upon two important con-
ditions. First upon the general pros
perity Of all the people who buy and
consume that which we have to sell, and
second, the extent to which we apply
our own energy, genius and ability to
our business.
1t bus been In the field of unrestricted
competition where our manufacturing
and commercial enterprises O nducting
their own business as independent in
stltutions, content with operating their
plants for number of years to realize a
modest fortune through u fair and rea-
sonable profit on their investments, Civ
ing labor its just reward and sending out
their travelling salesmen in friendly y
open competition for trade, that has In
commercial prestige and power placed
this magnificent young republic In the
van OF any and all civilized nations of
the earth and made the commercial
travellers Of America and their families
as they are recognized and known today
in society, literature, music, art, and in
commerce, the peers OF the most pro-
gressive, most intelligent, and most re-
spected class of our citizenship.
But let us briefly look into the future
and consider our interests under the
system Of restricted competition as IL ex.
lists today, and which, unless checked by
united action Of the people, will con-

rHE COLONEL pIssEMnLEs.


Colonel Theodore Townsend, editor
OF the Milford Chronicle. and one Of
the Union Republican leaders down
the state. resents the imputation that
the social function held at Rehoboth
by ]. Edward Addicks carried with it
a certain degree Of political signih-
cance He declares editorially that
when 1t becomes necessary for the
Union Republicans to convene for con-
ference it Will be known by the public.
We venture the statement that the So
cial function held at Rehoboth was all
politics and a yard wide. There may
have been some talk about Bay STATE
Gas and copper properties; the weather
and crops may have been alluded to;
and new hotel for Rehoboth may
have figured in the conversation-bui
the burden Of the song was politics, by
state, counties, districts and hundreds
When such men as those constitute
ing the Union Republican assemblagC
gather together they do not usually
discuss matters Of science art or lit
erature. Their stock in trade as poll
tics, and the colonel knows it.
Then why dissemble? It does nc
good, and may do harm
