Willmar tribune., 1899-10-04

We have no desire to enter into a
controversy with Mr.. Talllnan on the
desirability of trusts. All promoters
OF such generally agree that their
main purpose in combining is to give
the people better service. But mas
much as Mr.. Tallman sees fit to charge
sinister motives to the TRIBUNE for
making the comments it did, we hope
to be pardOned for touching upon the
matter again.
A telephone line, as it becomes q
necessity for transmission of intelli-
gence. is a quasi-public institution.
and ought to be under public control.
AS in the case of railroads, the inter-
ests OF the people demand that the
various lines be not allowed to con-
solidate. The telephone lines of Min
nesota would probably now be under
public control, and in the interests OF
the public ompelled to make connec-
tlons for each other, but for the effec-
tive work of the lobby in the last leg-
islature. Mr.. Tallman knows some.
thin g about the work that was done
to defeat such a measure. An agree
ment for maintaining reasonable rates
is quite a different proposition from
selling out competing lines, thus dis
posing OF the only weapon for COM
pelling reasonable rates. Before the
sale of the Minnesota Central line we
could talk from Willmar to Litchfield
or intermediate: points for ten cents.
Since the sale of the line, the fee has
been twenty cents. The compari-
son with the excessive telegraph rate
is significant. Were it not possible
to send a telegram for twenty y-six cents
we presume the dear people would pay
still higher telephone rates.
1t it was the intention of the Central
Company to ''knuckle under'' to the
Bell trust when the stock was sub.
scrlbed, the stockholders we have in.
terviewed are ''in error" not the edi-
tor.
The .''controlling stock" of a. cor.
poration has the power to vote salar.
les to the officers of the company. who
generally own the said "controlling''
stock. In this way president of a
telephone company might make ST..
900 q year while there would be but
little left for dividends to the stock.
holders. Then if the said tscontroll.
ing interest" should be mostly water
and the minority stockholders really
furnished the money to build the lines,
the outrage would be still greater. SC
it is plain that the minority stock does
not always have the same benefits af
the majority. =s.z..> :>.@.E -. i. p

PECULIAR METHODS

1t sounds strange to read the tes-
timony given in the Dreyfus case,
and we have been wondering if that
is the style in all French courts
The witness takes the stand and pro-
ceeds to argue the case as an attor-
ney would in this country. He goes
over the written testimony submitted
and advances his own personal views
as to the guilt or innocense of the
defendant. The defendant rises IN
his place and questions the witness
and offers any argument or testimony
he may see fit to refute the argument
of the witness.
In that kind of court we Can see
but little use for an attorney He
may cross question the witnesses but
that seems to be about the only duty
he has in the case. He might go on
the witness stand and deliver his
speech to the court just like any
other witness.

the detriment of the people should
be controlled and will be in time by
wholesome laws. The republicans
have already gone on record on
these matters and the democrats only
expose their insincerity by their SEN
seless cry against combines indis-
crinlinately.
Their theory that the tariff pro-
duces trusts is shown to be false
from the fact that Free-Trade Eng
land has more trusts than has Amer
lea with her tariff. Were it true
that TIE tariff is the mother of trusts
which no reasoning man believes
who has taken the pains to inform
himself, then we would still be in
favor of protective tariff instead Of
the blighting whitening curse of free
trade.

is idiocy for the populist leaders to
think of running an anti-expansion
campaign in this state. A ticket on
that platform will be defeated so
overwhelmingly that the populists

rank and file of our party are in

OUR PROSPECTS

The utter failure of the crops in
large scope of the grain fields Of
Russia will make Russia an import
er of grain instead of an exporter.
The Emperor has already directed
hat 80, 900, 900 bush els of grain be
withdrawn from the government
store houses on the Don and Ouk-
raine and distributed through the
famine districts before the cold
weather sets in. Ii looks like
England will get in a scrap with
Beers in the Transvaal. At least
both sides are purchasing arms and
military supplies and modifying
forces as rapidly as possible.
Though there can be but one result
predicted as the outcome of the
trouble, England will be heavy pur-
chaser of grain and provisions
that must mainly come from this
country.
Large portions of India are reduced
to the starvation point by reason of
crop failures and the inhabitants
only kept alive by governmet aid.
The United States with its un-
usually large crop of both wheat
and corn will necessarily be the
Egypt of the world, and our i'm
mence surplus will be marketed
at remunerative prices. With all
our factories running on full time
and all our laboring men employed
at good remunerative wages, the
home market will be immense.
Feeders need not be afraid to put
twenty-five cent corn into cattle or
hogs.
The unrest and nervous condition
of the great powers in the old world,
if it don't plunge them into war,
will at least make them heavy pur-
chasers of provisions and require
them to keep on war footing at all
times. There can be no doubt but
the great prosperity of this country
is but beginning. The farm com
munity is bound to be profted
greatly by present conditions, and
we predict for the farmers of this
country series of years of the
most prosperous times they have
ever seen. No farmer need hesitate
about increasing his stock aud get
ting ready to enjoy and profit by
the boom. Prosperity is upon us
and all we have to do is to reach
forth and grasp our share Oft.

WHAT SHALL THE ISSUE BE

The democratic party with al
their frantic cropping in the dark fol
a national issue seem to be just a:
far from solution of the problem
as they were year ago. They have
tried free trade or tariff for revenue
only. and succeeded in deluding the
people once on that issue but the re-
suits were So disastrous to the coun-
try, resulting in closing the mills all
over the land and throwing men out
of employment producing panics
and failures without number, to be
followed Immediately by the most
prosperous times the country has
ever seen as soon as the new policy
ofprotection could be fully establis-
he'd.
The factories and mills are run
ming on full time, increasing their
capacity as fast as laborers can be
obtained; the labor of the country
all employed at a better average
compensation than at any time dur
the history of this country. Our
imports curtailed and exports vast
ly increased and constantly growing
With this object lesson before them,
they do not dare pin their faith to
the free trade theory, with all their
eastern and many of their southern
following clammoring for protection.
Such a course would be suicidal
The Bryan idea of free silver at
a 16 to ratio was so utterly absurd
on the start that the only wonder is
that it got any intelligent following
whatever, after the people had real
ly studied the question and knew
what it meant.
Surely after their CALLING defeat
on that issue in 90 and the utter
failure of all their predictions should
their pet hobby be defeated, they
will not seriously urge the fully ex-
ploded theory of 16 to I. Should
they have the hardihood to do it,
they will lose every western state,
lest it be Colorado.
They have been sounding the anti
expansion sentiment pretty thorough
ly and they find that won't work as
there is scarcely a level headed
brainy man among them but that is
in favor of holding on to all territory
that comes to us by the rights of
war.
They have studied the history of
our country casually and they find
that throughout its history no party
has ever succeeded but everyone
has gone down to inglorious defeat
that attempted to oppose the war
policy of the party in power prose
cutting a foreign war.
They are now trying to get up a
great bugaboo about the trusts. but
on looking the matter up, they have
found that the republicans have fore
stalled them there and that a repub-
ican congress enacted the only law
ever passed by congress looking to
he control of undue agregations of
capital for the purpose of regulating
prices, and that when they had the
he power during Cleveland's admin
stration they took nc action to con
