TRUSTS; AN OBJECT LESSON.

The people of New York are just now
receiving an object lesson respecting
trusts. The American Ice Companv has
pretty effectually cornered the ice mar
ket of the city. BY purchase or other
wise, it has secured control of all COM
peting companies, and is master of the
situation. At the threshold of the warm
season the trust has advanced the price
of ice from 30 cents to 60 cents per 100
pounds, and the belief is that a still fur
Their advance to 81 per 100 will shortly
be made
Noe only has the price as compared with
that of last year been doubled. but an
order has been issued by the company for
bidding the drivers of wagons from sell
ing less than ten cents worth. This
rule. il Is easy to see, will work a great
hardship upon the poor, who can ill-af-
ford to spare even a nickel for ice. But
under the cruel order of the trust the
poor and sick must come up with the
dime for scant dole of ice, OF go with
out Having the power to squeeze con-
sumers of this necessity of life, the trust
is not hesitating 10 exercise it, IL is in
timated that the ice trust of New York
is reaching out to control the business
in other cities. Should il be successful.
it would at once set about tyrannzng
in the other communities the same as it is
doing in New York.
Meantime, il appears likely that the ice
trust question will "cut a good deal of
ice" in New York politics this summer.
1t transpires that several men prominent
in municipal politics are either directly
or indirectly interested in the ice COM
pany. Some of these men hold high and
responsible positions. both as officials and
party leaders. 1t is said a fight will be
made upon them, unless they bring such
pressure TO bear upon the managers of
the ice combine as will cause them to
lower the price of ice 10 a reasonable
figure. The story of the trust and its in
justice to the poor, when told TO people
who are themselves feeling the squeeze,
would be a powerful campaign argument.
