THE TRUSTS.
New Orleans Picayune.

New Orleans Picayune.
Senator Hanna, who is the politica
arch.hend OF trustiSm, declared, in F;
public speech in Chicago, a few day.
ago:
l would like Mr.. Bryan or any othel
Democrat to tell me what trust is
bclleve there is not Il trust in the en-
Tire United States. There is ma
tlonal law, and in every State there is
a law against trusts. national or State
mas been the product of Republican
lawmakers, and the credit is due tho
Republican party.
AS Mr. Hanna did not present an,
definition of his particular idea of a
trust, 1t Is very probable that there
IS IN existence nothing that cores.
ponds to his notion; but he will not
dare to say that there are no private
monopoiies composed of individuals
or corporations banded together TO
mon0pollze and control markets and
prices OF articles of necessity and daily
consumption. He will not dare lto
deny the existence in large numbers
OF Such monopoly corporations. TheH
are TO be met with on every hand in
the commercial and industrial circles
OF the United States, and these are
what the people call trusts These
are what are crushing all competition,
all individual effort in business. and
are dlctating prices Of necessarieS and
rates or wages. These are trusts that
are slowly but surely driving the
work people into subsection to and de.
pehdcnce upon the proprietors Of the
trusts, who are being converted into a
powerful, privileged, wealthy class,
the support of the Republican party
and policy.
10 pretend before any asscmbaye of
Tue people of the United States that
thefeare no commercial and industrial
nlon0polleS which control certain
branches OF trade and have crushed
out all competition in the way of the
mon0oolists is to assume that the
American wOrkpeople are fools. tn
pretend that the Standard Oil Com.
pany does not control the mineral nil
business of the United States, or that
Tue American Sugar Refining Com
pany does not control the sugar busi.
ness OF the United States is to falsify
u record that every business man
knows to be true. And they are only
samples Of Il great brood OF other
monopolies in other branches OF busj.
ness.
AS to the United States laws against
trusts. they are dead letter, because.
under the domination of the Republi.
can party, no law officer OF the Gov.
ernmcnt can be found who will under
take to enforce them. The United
States statutes against combinations
IN restraint OF trade have been en-.
forced against striking workmen. but
never against the private commercial
and industrial mnnopolics that are
supporting MIR. Hanna'> party and
enjoying special privileges under it's
policy. "a, as
Mr. Harna's assurance in declaring
nat tllescArc no trusts reminds one
OF the story of Satan posing as an
angel Ut light. Mr.. Hanna, the head
de''l OF the trust policy, deccivcs only
thusc wlk' want to be deceived, but

The stranding OF the steamship Zeno
occurred Thursday morning, Goth inst,
the depth of water in the channel was
% feet. The Zeno completed loading her
cargo on the 10th inst at p. m. and
cleared the same night, after which her
commander, Capt. A. Widdess proceeded
to his vessel at 80 o'clock on the morning
OF the 10Th Owing to an accident, which
happened to the steamer Berenice her
services could not be obtained in assist
ing the Zeno through the channel, and
a tug was employed, which did not have
sufficient power to check the steamship
when she took sheer and grounded on
the north bank, where she remained
fast until a. m Of the Odd inst.
This accident might reflect on your
port, but could have occurred under the
same circumstances at Ship Island or any
other port. In this instance the vessel
was not exposed to actual or immediate
danger, and the promptness of the COM
mander's action in lightering the steam
ship after he saw it was impossible
to refoat her with the assistance of
tugs and anchors, was carried out, the
time consumed to Tighten the steamship
and reship the deck cargo reflects great
credit upon Stevedore Jas. J. Feore, of
Scranton, who, with gang CT men, and
by a. m. of the ed had the vessel re-
floated Reshipping the timber COM
menced at once, and the stevedore's men
worked continuously until finished, not
single piece of timber being lost or
damaged. An understanding was made
with the stevedore that no timber should
be lost, otherwise reduction in the re-
muneration would be made The cost
of relocating the vessel is much less than
il l had engaged tugs from Mobile, prov
ing the idea of lightering was both eco
nomical and speedy.
The steamship Lewisham sailed OH the
10th and passed close to the Zeno. She
was drawing IL inches more water than
the Zeno. A. WIDDESS, s. s, Zeno.

Much credit is due Capt. Widdess for
the energy displayed in saving his YES

pleasant voyage. He is held in high es-
teen by his merchants, and all our busi-
ness men who he came in contact with
