The Ruin of Trusts.

Charleston Courier.
Where is the policy of trusts lead
ing us to, and where it's end2 Are
we to have the prices of everything
we buy regulated not honestly by
fair and open competition in the
public market but arbitrarily and
dishonesty by managers of colossal
combinations in control of trade?
These questions are as impor-
tant as they are timely, for the peo-
pie are as much entitled to sugar,
salt, flour, oil, lumber, shoes and
nails at reasonable and natural
prices as they are to transporta-
tion of their property over the rail
roads without being requested to
pay exhorbitant or unreasonable
charges for their service. If car
riers must sell their service for
reasonable compensation, why not
the sugar makers? Are not the
rights, duties and responsibilities
of the government and the people
the same in both cases?

much larger sense than most per-
sons have yet realized, Brother.
hood is working itself out through
the cold forms of selfish business
The individual workman has been
merged in the mass. Individual
competition is no longer generally
practicable. The people are a
work, not for themselves personally
but for one another. The shoe
maker once made shoes, and the
wagon maker made wagons. Nov
these necessary articles are simply
put together. But in the course O
this great revolutionary process o
Industry we should see that it does
not destroy any of these persona
rights of opportunity and advan
tage which comes to us naturally
Competition is natural condition
A lack of it is an unnatural one.
