C0MBLNA TONS OF CAPITAL.

Combinations OF capital, organized into
trusts 10 control the conditions OF trade
among our people, TO stife competition,
limit production and determine the price of
products used and consumed by the people,
are justly provoking public discussion.
The subject is one giving rise TO many
divergent views as 10 the nature and variety
of cause and effect Of the injuries to the
public which may result from large comb.
nations, concentrating more or less numer.
Gus enterprises and establishments which,
previous 10 the formation of the combina.
ton, were carried on separately.
1t is usually conceded that combinations
which engross or control the market of any
particular kind Of merchandise or com.
modify necessary 70 the general commu.
nifty, by suppressing natural and ordinary
competition, whereby prices are unduly en-.
HANGED to the general consumer, are OBJ,
noxious not only 10 the common law, but
also TO the public welfare. There must be
a remedy for the evils involved In such or.
CARNATIONS, and, whatever power, Congress
Possesses over this most important subject
should be promptly ascertained and as
serted.
There are none who feel more severely
the evils resulting from these combinations
than the farmer. There is no rise in any
thing he may have TO place on the market
on the contrary, there is continual shrink
age OF the prices of everything he has to
offer for sale, and which he has to accept
1t Is doubtful If anything the farmer has to
purchase is free from the Influences of such
combinations. The great advance in prices
forced up by the trusts, has made itself fell
is this, it may be askedi We cite single
instance. A trust controls the coal pro-
ducts of the United States and has forced
up the price of coal, nearly, II not quite 90
per cent. As coal is one Of the first requi
sites of every factory, il can be seen at once
that by advancing It's cost the Coal Trust
has compelled all factories TO advance the
prices oil their products or cut down theil
profits. Thus the evil influences Of the
trusts have made themselves ielt even 10
those industries which they do not control
In short, the people are being drained al
rate which not even the present business
activity OF the country can long stand
Whatever increase in wealth there is is 6nd
ing its way into the treasures of the trusts
Unless some means can be found for checking
their growth, 1t lie only a question of time
when they will own everything.

MEETING OF THE LEGISLATURE.

ture, on Wednesday, in point of interest
aud the character Of the gentlemen compris

walls OF the State House at Annapolis.
The members of the House, with a mum.
Der of the Senators, are fresh from the PEG

Grave problems will come up for solu-
ton. Among the more Important OF the
many, are the sound, healthy and economic

position of the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal,
and the reorganization Of the Public School
System and the Police Department of Balti.

portance and In their solution the calm,
cautious and prudent consideration OF the
Legislature will be required. The two
Houses will not get down to work until
after the appointment Of the committees
and the inauguration Of the new Governor
When that time arrives, 1t is TO be sincerely
hoped that 1t will prove an exception TO the
general rule and get down to work in earn
est aud not let important measures be
trifled with until the closing of the session
and then be passed upon in haste and con.
fusion. The lll-effects OF such delay, and
the consequent haste, have been severely
felt for a number Of years and should be
studiously avoided.
