Thc Battle Against TRUSTS.


No member OF the United States
Senate is better able to fight trusts
and combinations of capital than
Senator Depow, of New York. His
life has been spent among them
and lie has had moro or less to do
with trusts and monopolies in his
official capacity of president of the
New York Central Railroad. Mr..
Depew, speaking recently of or
ganized industrial corporations ag-
gregating capital of S3,OO0,0OO,-
600, said the bankers were respon-
sible if the people obtained false
idea of tho value of the securities.
He charged them with the duty of
fixing their standard of value be-
cause tho public would gauge their
market value by the loan value
impaired by the banks themselves.
This is only an instance of Mr..
Depew's realization of personal re-
sponsibility. Ho has soberly
weighed the Industrial problem for
years. The Cincinnati Enquirer
credits Mr.. Depew with remark
able prophecy made before the
interstate commerce commission in
1892. After giving his opinion
that the inevitable effect of COM
binations was to force little men to
the wall, he made this prophecy:
"In five years from today there
will not be an Independent bust
ness man in any considerable place
in the United States. Every bust
ness will be in the hands of a
strong consolidated organization
which is called trust 1t will de-
stroy all opportunity for independ-
ent energy or competition or for
that rise of young men which we
have boosted has been one of the
great opportunities of this country,
Today there is not man who
thinks, providing he knows his re-
sponsibility, who does not feel that
this great danger confronts US.
The multiplication of monopolies,
if Mr.. Depew has discerned Alright
and we do not question it, threatens
the very fabric of our institutions,
warp and wool, and it is the issues
Which are hero involved that will
be fought out at the polls and leg
islative halls hereafter. This is the
issue indeed, that must be fought
out in the political campaign next
year. This is the issue that will
doubtless go far toward breaking
up old party lines, for it is
we'll known that many Democrats
are identified with the trust and
monopolistic influences in II bust
ness way and will give them their
support, while great many inhu-
entail Republicans will be arrayed
against them. AS to party align
ment, however, there is no doubt
as to which party will represent the
trust interests. 1t will be the
same party that owes its supremacy
to-day to the support of trusts and
monopolies and must inevitably be
placed on theSside of monopolies in
the future Charleston Gazette.

Carroll. Of the Confederate army. acts
as the second OF Lieut.. Thompson. The
latter does not fire ut his. enemy, and

truth concerning his death be kept n
secret from his wife. who has Just be-

now General Carroll. a courtly old man,

Thompson, the daughter Of the. man he
murdered. THE gill, although be-
