CoCHRAN's GOOD TRUsRs.
MIR. Cochran next turned about
to consider the kind of combina-
ton which dominates markets
"not through Government favor
but through the cheapness of it's
product" He said
"Now, let us see what the OBJ
lection to that is. We are told
that it defeats competitor, but
that is an obvious mistake. l
must say, to begin with, that any
industrial organization that cheap.
ems to me the cost of something 1
need | regard as benefit, and l
cannot possibly bring myself to
quarrel with it. (Laughter.) 1t
does not destroy competition. 1t
is the very product of competition.
Ladies and gentlemen, you can
not have competition without
competitors, and if you have
competitors, one must prevail. If
you do not allow the man who
prevails in the competitor the
full fruit of his victory, he will
not compete, and nobody else
will and then you will have no
competition Laughter and Ap-
plause.) The competition of men
in any department of human en-
deavor, if it be absolutely free,
always develops excellence and
excellence is monopoly. He who
sells cheapest must always dom
mate the market, for in econo.
mics the domination of the cheap
est is the survival of the fittest.
"Now l have heard it said as
an objection to this that the sue
cessful industry, by serving me
so we'll throws the men who can
not serve me so well out Of en-
ployment. Well, | might say in
the first place that | do not be-

The man who says that any COM

body else can do his job better
than he can, and, if so. he ought
to give it up.

abundant production in free
country without extensive distri-
button in the form of wages.
With this preface, he then said {:
"1f this definition of prosperity
be correct, it is perfectly plain
that there is no reason why a sen.
sible man should grow excited,
either as to the approval or re-.
sentiment, at a combination mere
ly as such. Any industrial sys
tenn which operates to swell the
volume of production should be
commended; anything which op
crates to restrict it should be sup.
pressed.
"Now, whether these great com
binations of capital or these com
binations of labor operate to raise
prices or reduce them is a subject
about which there has been a
wide diversity of opinion, not
merely in this hall. but wherever
economic questions have been
discussed. There are some com
bInations which operate to in
crease prices, and some which op.
crate TO depreciate them. Now.
if l adopt either, l should offend
against the other offender of
which l complain. 1t will be
idle to say that some improve,
that some raise the prices and
some depreciate them, if we did
not prescribe some test by which
we could distinguish between the
two. | think it is a simple one,
perfectly clear. The test is to
ascertain whether the mbin alton
of capital flourishes through gov.
ernment aid or without it, for,
my friends, you must see that
any industrial enterprise which
dominates the market without
aid from the government must do
so through cheapening the pro-
duct, or as it is commonly called,
by underselling competitors. An
industry which at one and the
same time reduces prices and
swells its own profits must ac-
complish that result by increas-
ing the volume of its productions.

whose service is suspended, ex-
cePt that an absolute defense

ployees questions at issue be

Such was the closing summary
Of the speech made by ex Con
gresham Bourke Cochran, the
oritorical New Yorker, before the
national conference of publicists,
political leaders and public off
cials which closed last Saturday
afternoon at Chicago after several
days sessions. Mr.. Cockran's
speech, while one out of many
that were heard there, was notable
not SO much for the personality
and force of the speaker as for
the fact that it was frank
and philosophical defense of the
trusts delivered as a sort of chal.
lenge to William j. Bryan of Ne.
braska, the Democratic leader
who was there present. On the
day Cochran spoke Bryan refused
to be drawn into a discussion, but
on the following day he made a
long speech that totally disap-
proved of trusts, and proposed a
radical remedy. Hence a digest
of these two speeches will be
timely, instructive and maintain
the PATHFINDER's reputation of
presenting fairly both or all sides
of public issues.
MR.. COCHRAN's SPEECH.
"There is no person." began the
big New Yorker, in his suave
tones, "who could have listened
to the papers which have been
read from this platform during
the last three days and doubt for
moment that the object OF this
gathering was an honest search
for truth" He then went on to
say how the confusion of terms
regarding the subject under dis
cussion made the greatest diff
Guilty about agreement. He would
define prosperity as "an abun-
bance of commodities extensively
distributed among those who pro.
duce them" And he would trv
to show that there cannot be

sumer to it on its own terms, nee

output and large profits, extorted,
not from the excellency of its SER
vice, but from the helplessness of

CoCHRAN's FIRST REMEDY.
Three ways were then indicated
in which the government does
interfere with natural trade chan.
nels, namely, by patents, by tar
ifs and by public franchises. Re
garding the grant of franchises he
said it could never be Just, for
since the government creates
nothing it can not truly bestow
anything. Every favor to one
corporation was an injury to
others. He referred especially
to the action of the railroads in
giving special low rates to Ger.
tain industries or companies. And
he contended that the proper
remedy would be a law declaring
such favors to be felonies and
punishable as such. In this con-
nection he continued thus:
Now, with a statute author.
izing and making it the right of
every shipper, of every person
using public franchise to have
disclosed to him at any time every
contract and agreement made
with any other person, you will
find there will be little difficulty
about avoiding the enforcement
of the penal statute, for it will
not be transgressed. We want
simple statute of publicity, and l
believe that will check the special
favors."
This remedy. would he insisted,
be adequate also for the question
of over capitalization. He de.
scribed vividly all the fraudulent
methods by which corporations
III secrecy manipulated their funds
so as to fool the public, and went
on:
80 all this, my friends, the
remedy, | repeat, is publicity. a
statute. which would modify, bat
slightly, if at all, the existing
laws OF every state, would make
this species of fraud impossible,

EXPOSITION.
Assuming Larger Proportions
Than Was Anticipated.
To Be Held IN New York From Oct.
srst to Nov. aSth.

But few weeks remain for the prep
aration Of exhibits for the Southern Ex-
position. 1t is to be held in New York
from October 3lst, to November 25th.
The arrangements have assumed much
larger proportions than was anticipated,
and success Of the first show of Southern
Industries and Products in the money
center Of the world is assured.
COL j. Garnett, the director Of the
Exposition, lie now on a tour Of the prin-
cipal cities in the South, closing arrange
ments for numerous exhibits. He will
meet the Governors, Mayors, Presidents
Of Exchange, Chambers Of Commerce,
etc., as we'll as other leading men Of the
various states, to show the great prac-
tical benefit that the South will derive
from the Exposition.
Governor Johnston, Of Alabama, fol
lowing the action Of Governor Bradley,
Of Kentucky, has appointed q committee
OF representative citiEens; which is to Or
Vaniz" at once and procure a State ex
hibit Most Of the other states will take
similar action.
The time is now at hand when every.
one who is interested in the progress of
the South should make an effort to have
his particular section represented. This
applies not simply TO city and Board Of
Trade exhibits, but also 10 commercial
displays.
In order to secure space in the more
desirable locations, it is necessary that
all intending exhibitors should make So
lections promptly. Local firms will do
we'll to take the matter up with littlY
delay.
The Exposition will be rendered par.
ticulaTly interesting, in view of the fact,
that numerous prominent speakers from
various Southern States have accepted
the invitation, and will deliver addresses
at the Exposition, on the subject of the
South's progress, and the advantages of
iered in the South for the investment OF
Northern capital.
BookerT Washington, OF the TuskeRee
Institute, has arranged for an exhibit of
his schools work. The Women's Ex-
hibit, which is underline charge of MB.
F. Byrd, prominent and enthusiastic
Southern woman, will undoubtedly be q
most interesting feature. The oo-Opera-
ton Of the Southern WOmen's Clubs,
and Of individuals as we'll, is desired by
Mrs. Byrd, and should be extended.
It should be the endeavor of every
southener to foster an exhibit; be it Of
agriculture, mining, fruit, education OF
manufacture.
The charges for space are exceedingly
moderate. For particulars as to these
and for all other information, Col. J. J.
Garnett, Director Southern Exposition,
Grand Central Palace, n. Y, should be
addressed.

THRPRIcR OF BEEF.
Why Il Is Higher Than It was Some
time ago-A Boon to the
Farmers.

Facts and figures disprove the charge
made in some of the Eastern newspapers
that the recent advance in the price OF
beef is the result of trade manipulation
Investigation among Stock Yards, COM
mission houses, cattle dealers and pack
ers very clearly shows that increased
cost of the raw material is unquestiona-
bly, the cause of appreciation in the
value OF the product. Reliable statistics
confirm the statements Of commission
firms and cattlemen that receipts at the
great packing centres of the West have
numerically decreased and this deficiency
is emphasized by the fact that thousands
of cattle in excess of previous years,
known as feeders" are this year being
diverted from the market to the farm,
where the prolific corn crop Of the West
may, in this way, be most probably
utilized.
During the past week no less than
5000 head Of cattle were sent out from
Chicago to Western feed lots being more
than half OF the entire shipments Of live
cattle. In addition to this, a. legitimate
reason for advancing tendency in the
market, is the greatly increased demand
consequent upon general prosperity and
the largely enhanced Consumptive abili.
ty of we'll employed labor. AS showing
the great power Of the present consump-
tive demand, 1t is only necessary 10 call
attention TO the fact that while the
receipts Of hogs are larger than last year,
prices for live hogs are nevertheless 20
cents per 100 pounds higher at Chicago
than in 1898.
There are many other reasons that are
material factors in considering present
conditions. Among them may be cited
the diversion Of many Texas herds to
Cuba, which otherwise, would be now
important addition TO current domestic
supplies,
The Northwestern ranges are more
lightly stocked than for many years, and
prices are higher than ever before for
range herds.
An exceptionally active condition Of
the trade, coming at q period Of some
what restricted supply, has resulted
naturally In materially advanced values
Tor live stock, average cattle prices now
current being higher than at any time
since 1884, We may cite, for instance
that In the week ending Aug. "a, 1899,
the average price Of good 100 to 1900
pound steers was 1915, while last year
similar cattle averaged s. per hundred
pounds. The top price for best beevea
during this period in 1899 was So 66.
while for Last August the top price was
S5.T5 per hundred pounds. This shows
an advance for the current year Of Sll
10 $40 per head on the different grades
Of cattle. These facts are, We think,
suficiont 10 account for the higher
prices for beef that have recently A.
traoted attention, and Woll-poatod peo-
pie Ia en- branches Of the trade feel that,
compared with current prices on the
hool, wholesale quotations are equitable
and conservative, and are fully warrant
cd by en- the easily ascertained factors
that control the situation. We must
congratulate the farmers and raisem Of
cattle Who are temporarily at LEAST
pariioipatora 10 the prosperity Of the
country. Chicago Drovers Journal

least 100000. So the supply of cattle
per capita today is more than one-third
less than it was in 1892. But the ability
to buy beef for domestic consumption ia
double per capita what it was two OF
three years ago. And therein lies the
chief reason for the advance in the price
of beef
So long as the demand for beef grows
"by what it feeds on" there is no power
on earth that can keep the price of beei
down until the stock raisers can increase
the size and weight Of their herds
