ON TRUSTS.
Great Combinations of Capital Ben
efcial to Rich and Poor-Says
Trusts are Not to be Feared.


Trusts are Not to be Feared.
NEW YORK, April 27.-Andrew
Carnegie, in an essay in the May Cen
tury, entitled Popular Illusions About
Trusts" advocates great aggregations
OF capital as of benefit both to rich and
poor. He says:
Every attempt to m%onopolize the
manufacture of any staple article car
ries within its bosom the seeds of fail
ure. Long before we could legislate
with much effect against trusts there
would be no necessity for legislation.
The past proves this and the future is
to confirm it. There should be moth
ing but encouragement for these vast
aggregations of capital for the manu-
facture of staple articles.
"As for the result being an increase
of price to the consumer beyond a
brief period. there need be no fear.
On the contrary, the inevitable result
of these aggregations is, finally and
permanently, to give to the consumer
cheaper articles than would have been
otherwise possible to obtain, for cap
ital is stimulated by the high profits
of the trust, for a season, to embark
against it.
The result is very o o a capacity
of production beyond the wants of the
consumer, and as the new works erect
ed are of the most improved pattern,
and capable of producing cheaper than
the old works, the vulnerable trusts
are compelled to buy and capitalize at
two and three times their cost. There
is thus no danger ahead to the COM
munity from trusts, nor any cause for
fear.
Competition in all departments of
human activity is not to be suppress
ed. Already the ghosts of numerous
departed trusts which aimed at mo-
nopoly have marched across the stage
Of human affairs, each pointing to its
fatal wound, inflicted by that great
corrective, competition. The only peo-
pie who have reason to fear trusts are
those who trust them.
I'VE conclude that this overpower-
ing, irresistible tendency toward ag-
gregation of capital and increase of
size in every branch of product can
not be arrested OF even greatly i'm
peded, and that. instead Of attempt
ing to restrict either, we should hail
every increase as something gained,
not for the few rich, but for the mil
lions of poor, seeing that the law is
salutary, working for good and not for
evil.
Every enlargement is an improve
ment, step by step, upon what has
preceded. 1t does not tend to make
the rich poorer, but it does tend to
make the poor richer in the posses
sion of better things, and greatly les
sens the wide and deplorable gulf be-
tween the rich and the poor.
Superficial politicians may, for a
time, deceive the uniformed, but more
and more will all this be clearly seen
by those who are now led to regard
a~ggregations as injurious"

GOVERNMENTAL NEGLECT.

The neglect OF the Alaskan coast By the
United States government is in keeping
with its entire Alaskan policy. NOtWth-
standing the immense interests involved in
the northern trade there is not a single
light house from Mary Island TO Skagwav
at the head Of LYNN canal.
Tn. annual business passing through
the inside passage between Skagwav and
Puget Sound ports amounts 10 mote than
$50, 900, 600. There are millions invested
IN the fine class OF steamships that PLY
regularly on the route. And more import :
and still, 20, 900 human lives are annually
placed In jeopardy because Of criminal
governmental neglect.
1t cannot be urged that the government
has not h ID time to develop plans for Tx
establishment Of proper aids TO navigation
in these waters. because there has been a
considerable Alaskan trade for score OF
years and an immense one for nearly touI
wears. The channel and course are marked
through Canadian waters by light houses
and buovs, but as soon as the American
waters of Alaska are met the shipping in
terests are at the mercy Of nature.
The great number Of wrecks in Alaskan
waters is frequently commented upon.
The strange part of Navigation in thest
waters, when the number OF ships engages
in it are considered, is that there have mol
been more wrecks. If it were not for the
tact that the waters are protected auc
that the climate is comparatively mild
the long, winding and narrow passage
would be lined with the bones of the or1f
that are now doing good service. Ne
credit is due the government that such j:
not the case.

APATHY AMONG VOTERS.

There was considerable talk about the
apathy of the voters during the recent
campaign, and the fear was often expressed
that the republican ticket would suffer on
account OF it. The returns which Re nv
nearly all complete would indicate that
there was a great lack Of interest on the
part OF the voters but 1t worked m = dis
astetouSly TO the democrats than the r.
publicans. This is shown by the I Il at
the vote in nearly every southef state
was much less than that four yes ago.
So great has been the loss OF votes ~ the
south, that there were but few mole votes
cast last November than in 1906 The
result is that BRYAN has fewer votes this
wear than four years ago notwithstanding
that his vote in the north was generally
larger.
The falling of OF the vote in the South
will account for the fact that Mckinley's
plurality is larger than was at first sup
posed. The majorities at first reported in
the northern states presuming that BRYAN
would get the nominal majDrities IN the
southern states, indicated a rer )lio8n
plurality OF something like 10000 or
$50, 900. AS now sscertained ii will exceed
100000.
