sent in writing his opinion of trusts to
the secretary of the coming trust con-
ference in Chicago, in which he says:
There are two reasons for the organ
ization of trusts: First, to effect the
saving that may be accomplished by
eliminating the waste of competitive
strife; and second, because men long to
be at peace with one another. They see
a way to escape from this unnatural
competitive warfare by organization for
a common purpose. The trust, then, is
a natural development and strictly in
the line Of economic progress" Al
though in this brief extract Mayor
Jones appears to lay more stress on the
economical rather than socialistic as
pect Of the question, it may well be pre-
sumed that his treatise as a whole will
follow, more or less, the lines laid down
by Debs, for Jones is believer in the

soo1AI1snE AND TRUSTS.

LFrom the Oshkosh Northwestern
The socialists and those who pose as
advanced reformers are generally be-
coming exeusers Of trusts, and are de-
Tending them as strictly In line with
economic progress or the legitimate
avenue through which practical social
ism is to be established. Eugene ".
Debs, the labor agitator and socialist,
IS one of these. He is hailing the form
alton OF trusts with unsubdued salts
faction and is defending them upon the
platform as the result of natural evolu-
ton towards socialism and public
ownership of all means of production.
Mr. Debs delivered an address at Eau
Claire on Labor day in which he well
coined the trusts as the advance agents
Of socialism and the best friends of the
laboring classes because they were
making possible a condition that would
remedy many of the industrial evils.
He declared that trusts were the 1egiti-
mate results of the law Of centraliza-
ton and could not be reached by any
legal enactments because the combina-
ton Of men with millions of dollars
could not be made illegal without max
ing the combination of men into CO.
partnerships and corporations of small
capital also illegal. Mr.. Debs believes
that the concentration of capitalized
institutions is in accordance with eco
monte conditions and is a step towards
the concentration of all productive cap
ital in the hands Of the people at large,
or a state OF practical socialism. The
leading socialist of Wisconsin, Mr.. Vic
tor L. Berger of Milwaukee, took the
same ground last winter in an address
in this city before the Candlelight club.
Mayor Jones of Toledo, who has re-
Gently sprung into notoriety as a poIit-
ical and social reformer and a general
opponent to present political parties. is
preaching along the same lines. He has
