Thurmond, Fayette county, u
miles from Quinnimont, very i'm
portant point on the Chesapeake &;
Ohio Railroad, is one of the most
unique towns in tho State. The
place is important because it is the
junction point of two local branch
es with the main line, and unique
because it is without street or road.
The only place to walk is on the
railroad track, and thus do the two
or three hundred inhabitants go to
and fro. The mountain side is SO
precipitous that street is an i'm.
possibility, and the New river val
ley is 30 wild and rough that no

lance of thirty miles. The people

ZINC Trust EVIL.

LIT has been suggested as inc only
effective remedy against the forma-
ton of trusts that the matter of
ohartering corporations organized
to carry on interstate business be
taken in hand by the federal gov
ernment and no charters be granted
for trust purposes. The New York
Journal of Commerce gives his
tory of the growth of the corpora
ton laws in New Jersey. Former
ly it was a misdemeenor for per-
sons to combine or conspire to COM
mit,any injurious act to trade or
commerce, but in 1882 according
to the authority quoted, the act
was amended SO as to exclude in
dustrial combinations from its
operation, and in 1896, sit became
lawful for any corporation to buy
or sell or otherwise dispose of the
stock of any other corporation in
the United States, and to exercise
all the rights of ownership; and
elsewhere it is decreed that any
corporation may increase or de-
crease it's capital stock, shift it's To-
cality in our out of the state, relin-
quish branches, do anything it
wants to do to the par value of it's
shares, or perform any other act in
keeping with the behavior of we'll
hammered trust"
We are told also that up to 1890
a trust organized in New Jersey
had to make some pretense of do
ing some of it's business in that
state, whereas now the combines
being chartered under tho New
Jersey laws have, in largo major
ity of cases, no branch nor part of
their business or establishments in
that state The New Jersey laws,
in short, are merely furnishing the
rest of the United States with a
vast swarm of huge combinations
that could not be organized under
the laws of the states in which they
operate.
In order to avoid the trouble al
ways to be anticipated in matters
of this kind from the selfshness,
corruption or subserviency to a
class, of one state, it is held that
the federal government ought to
take hold of the chartering of cor
porations, or corporations seeking
to transact an interstate business,
and if there is constitutional
authority needed the constitution
ought to be amended and laws on
acted by Congress clearly defining
and limiting the powers of the
licensing authority in the premises.
If there were federal statute reg
ulating the formation of corpora
tions, like that of this State which
limits the capitalization, or like
that of Massachusetts which re-
quires the whole amount of capital
to be paid in, the public would be
protected to largo extent whore
now it is either oppressed or vic
timized.
The question of trusts and other
combinations of capital is rapidly
becoming one of the most momen-
tous issues of the day, and it will
demand for its solution tho wisest
and most patriotic craftsmanship
of the country, 1t is the mission
of the Democratic party to emanci-
pate the plain people of the land
from the domination of the
money power, and the trust is ono
of the evils which it must courage
,ously attack and destroy.-Charles-
ton Gazette.

There is widespread conviction

ure. Mercenary greed, and corrup-

making of it an instrument of plum
der for the enrichment of the few.

are inquiring as to remedy, and
unless other remedy is found, will

with pure democracy in which all
legislation must eminate directly
