sufficient to purchase enough nEchines

TRAVELLING MEN AND The TRUSTS.

The Travellers Protective association
at it's New Orleans session expressed
throught its executive committee this
sentiment:
The dark clouds Of monopolies and
trusts still hover over us, and since
our last convention many commercial
travellers have lost their positions, and
to use the language of an authorized
agent of the trusts $50, 900 commercial
travellers have been thrown out Of en-
ployment; $4,000, 600 dollars daily are
thus saved to the trusts by the conse-
quent w WITHHOLDING Of advertising pat
rOnage from country newspapers. In
other words the trusts in these two
items alone save to themselves $6.00O.-
900 daily, all of which is Withdrawn
direct from the people With such
conditions realized great and essential
step will have to be taken in the war
fare upon trusts which has now be-
come inevitable.
The great body Of travelling men sup
ported Mr.. Mckinley in 1896. The
Kansas City Star, newspaper that sup
ported Mr.. Mckinley in 1896, comment
ing on the action Of the travelling men.
says: ''The Travellers Protective as
sociation abraces a membership of
Is, 262 persons. The meaning of this
declaration is a powerful and indefa
tigable propaganda against those COM
binations which interfere with trade
and industry The travelling salesman
goes everywhere. There is no place in
the broad land where his voice is not
heard. He penetrates to oout-of-the-way
places where his messages from the
big, busy world outside are received
eagerly. He is a ready and interesting
talker. He is careful and intelligent
student OF passing events. He is an
industrious reader and a keen observer.
He is a repository of useful knowledge
which he dispenses in an effective way.
He never lacks for auditors. When he
drops down into little dull village the
people look upon him as positive ben
efactor and absorb his instructive con-
versation with greedy attention. More
than $1,000 Of these propagandists are
arrayed against the trusts. They are
proclaiming their hostility to these
greedy combinations far and wide, and
are giving their reasons for it. 1t is
not rational to suppose that this strong
and pervasive influence which is per-
petually at work will not increase the
natural prejudice Of the people against
the encroachments Of the trusts on the
right Of fair competition The injury
which the travelling men have suffered
from the trusts is no greater than that
which is complained of by many other
interests. Thousands upon thousands
of men in all lines Of occupation have
been thrown out of employment by the
trusts. The prices of many of the nec-
essities Of life have been greatly ad-
vanced by the trusts, and more than
all, they have set themselves up to
violate cherished American principle
the right to buy in the cheapest and
best market, not to speak of the privi-
l4ge of earning living"

LET WELL ENOUGH ALONE

The Hackensack Republican says
1.-THE bill to make the legal interest
in this State not more than five per
cent, which was fully discussed in
the Legislature last winter and de-
feated, was supposed to have received
its quietus for awhile, but it has
tnrned up again already in the pres
ent Legislature This bill looks very
much like an attempt at purely demo-
gogic legislation. There is no law
in this State at present that prevents
the loaning of money at a less rate of
interest than six per cent. A great
deal of money is being loaned on real
estate all the time at five per cent.
and the people are lending hundreds of
thousands of dollars to the savings
banks at three and one-half per cent.
No one in New Jersey now is suffer
ing from the payment of high rates of
interest, and some of those who are
saving their money do not get interest
enough. The interest law in this
State is well as it is and the Legisla-
ture should let it alone, especially
while the rate in the State of New
York remains unchanged at six per
cent -

A RUNAWAY.

Persons passing about the park
Saturday morning were somewhat
mystified by the rattle of a runaway
which was invisible because of the
heavy fog at that time. The rig was
pony and light wagon, belonging to
Mrs Coulter, of Morris Plains. Her
little son and daughter were in the
carriage in front of Lipman's grocery
store on Speedwell avenue, when the
boy started to turn about. The
vehicle tipped over throwing the
children to the ground though without
any injury to them. The pony took
fright and ran down Speedwell avenue
to the park, leaving the body and
hind wheels of the carriage behind.
The runaway circled the park until
stopped on the sidewalk of West Park
Place.
