THE NEWS AND OBSERVER THURSDAY MORNING. JUNE 49,

cratic Justices with their colleagues in
rendering prO-trust decision, said to
be the first of it's kind in this country.
The people had already found reason to
regard the State of New Jersey as the
stronghold of the trusts, but that the
Supreme Bench of that Commonwealth,
Democratic as well as Republican mem
bers, should be SO completely indifferent
to combine domination is fact that will
nevertheless startle all thoughtful stu
dents of existing conditions.
The establishment felt at this decision
is largely due to the fact that some
wears ago Chancellor McGill of New Jer
sey dissolved the big coal combine in
that State for exactly the same reasons
that were advanced in the demurrer of
Brown and Fleming in this case, involv-
ing the combine known as the New
York Trap Rock Company. The signifi-
canoe of these radically cOntrasted opin-
ions is that the trusts have perfected
their grip on New Jersey, and that the
methods employed in that State are be-
ing, or will be, employed in all other
States where it is necessary for the COM
bnes to control the situation in the
furtherance of their gigantic movement
to own anu cOHIFOl all DuSlUeSScS WoItu
owning and controlling in this country.
1t is time indeed for the Democratic
patty to take the leadership in the ueo-
lies fight on this malign and danger
Gus evil, and to make the trust issue
one of the foremost in the campaign of
1900. 1t is not against legitimate bust
ness that such a campaign will be waged,
but it is against the trusts as now
paralyzing and destroying legitimate
business. These organizations must he
faced promptly and boldly, and they
must be fought and overcome if lcg:tl-
mate business and industry are to he
saved from complete monopoly and alb
sorption by the trust barons who have
lust displayed their power in New DER

st. Louis Republic.
Those who feel inclined to regard
trusts as beneficial to wage earners anu
consumers are invited to look upon the
object lesson presented in the course Vi
thea Windowglass Trust.
BY the ukase of this protection-fat-
tened and Republican-fostered monopoly
all the window glass factories in the
country. with the exception of the CO.
operative concerns, were shut DOWN last
Monday. The excepted concerns pro-
duce about one-tenth of the output In
the United States, and they have been
notified that they will be allowed to run
only until the last week in June.
BY this arbitrary and cruel action of
the trust 1900 skilled and other work
men. not including those formerly eni-
ployed in independent factories, are
thrown out of work, regardless of their
unpreparedness to face the hard condi-
tons thus thrust upon them and their
dependents.
Like its commercial congeners, the
WGndowglass Trust began its career
backed by unlimited capital. It's first
step was to reduce the price of its pro-
uuCt " Il ISuIt WHICH NauSSu 'iN 'ui.'
of all independent concerns that dared
to compete. Its next move was to re-
strict production, thus throwing thou
sands of wOrkmen out of employment
and raising the price of its wares far
above the margin of reasonable profit.
1t has reached Il stage of trust de
yelopment where it has crushed Gem
petition utterly and exposed at least 30
600 men, women and children. who have
heretofore been supported by the window
glass industry, to bodily privation anu
the ministrations of charity.
AS with the Window glass Trust, so
with all other members of the trust
brood. Their purpose is the enrichment
of their stockholders. Their success
means the robbery of consumers and the
impoverishment and beggary of those
who earn their bread in the sweat OF
their face. Every consideration OF self
preservation, every dictate of philan-
thropy, every prompting of patriotism
demand that they be crushed.
The people cannot and will not look
for relief to the party responsible for
the breeding and propagation of the
trust evil. Upon the principles, policies
and purposes of the Democracy they
must rely for succor and emancipation

THE INTERESTS OF THE TRUCKING INDUS.
TRY.

One of the best organizations in the
State is the East Carolina Truckers and
Fruit Growers Association. Its men,
bers have transformed large sections of
Eastern North Carolina. Fifteen years
ago the freight on the Wilmington and
Weldon railroad between sGoldsboro and
Wilmington was smaller than on
any other section of the road. Now the
truck shipments alone make it the best
paving section of the road. Speaking
of the association and its wonderful
work, the Wilmington Star says:
"When the East Carolina Truck and
Fruit Growers Association was organ
lied in 1896 the total crop of berries
shipped from all points within the ter
ritory of the Association was 113.OOO
crates. The increase of production has
been wonderful, the crop amounting VI
1897 to 10000 crates: in 1898 to lO3,-
600 crates, and in 1899 to ilore than
100000 crates"
In spite of the immense crop rlade
the two last seasons have not been
profitable to the growers, and they are
moving to secure cheaper and quicker
transportation to the Northern and
Western markets. "They are at con-
siderable disadvantage as compared
with truckers in East Tennessee, Louis
lana, Kansas. and other competitive
points" says the. Star. In order "to de,
wise ways and means of securing just
and equitable freight rate convention
of all interested .'in the reduction OF
freight rates on truck and all other
classes Of merchandise" is called to meet
in Wilmington, Monday, July 10th.
The success of the trucking interests
of the State concerns all the people OF
the State, and it is to be hoped
before another season that cheaper and
quicker transportation and refrigerator
service can be secured.

WHEN THE LOUISIANA SUFFRAGE LAW
WENT INTO EFFECT.

The Asheyille Gazette, in it's new born
zeal for Negro Domination, has discover
ed that the Louisiana Constitutional
Amendment has not gone into effect. If
the Gazette will give careful reading
to section seven of the Louisiana Consti-
tutional Amendment, it will find these
words:
."The registration of voters under this
section shall close on the 31ST DAY OF
AUGUST. 1893, and Immediately there
after the registration officer of every
parrish shall make a sworn copy in dupli-
cate of the list of persons registered un-
der this section, showing in detail
whether the applicant registered as a
voter Of 1867 or prior thereto, or as IA
son of such a voter, or as n grandson OF
such voter, and deposit one of said du-
plicates in the office of the Secretary OF
State to be by him recorded and preserv-
ed as part of the permanent records OF
the office, and the other of said dupti-
Gates shall be by him filed in the office
of the clerk of the District Court of the
parish. and in the parish of Orleans i'll
the office of the Recorder of Mortgages,
there to remain "a permanent record: pro-
vided, that upon the permanent register
of all persons registered under this sec
ton. the registration officer shall note in
the top of column the age and color of
the applicant and under the head OF re-
marks, all distinguishing physical char
acteristic of the applicant, such as height,
size. color of the hair and eyes, ETC.
xy-hn IN,
said registration list shall be admitted to
register for all elections in this State
without possessing the educational or
property qualifications prescribed by this
act unless otherwise disqualified. and
all persons who do not by personal appli-
cations claim exemption from the provi-
sions of Sections and 6 of this act be-
fore September LIST, 1898. shall be for
ever denied the right to do so.''
The. above extract disproves all that the
Gazette claims. 1t will be noted that the
act specially provides that those who do
not register by September LIST. 1868,
''shall be forever denied the right to do
so." This proves that the amendment
went into effect in September last. If
any man in Louisiana desired to contest
the law. the time to do so was when he
was denied registration. Having failed
to do that. he is estopped. The election
officers can neither permit any man TO
vote who has not registered nor hear any
mans complaint. The tribunal to pass
upon his right to vote was the board OF
registration. The books of registration
were closed on the 31st of August. 1893.
and the law went fully into effect on that
date. The Gazette will please note that
fact.

AS TO THE ''NIGGER" PARTY.

A Republican paper asks whether, in
case the constitutional amendment IS
adopted, the News and Observer will
quit calling the Republican 1.-THE mig

is adopted, the Republicans in their
platform will pledge themselves not to
repeal or modify the new suffrage pro-
vision, it will no longer be the "nigger
party'' and we will not so call it. But
if it will not so declare, it will still be
the "nigger party"
