Another thing that. in my judgment,
has aided monopoly Is high tariff. No
body can dispute that a tariff-an i'm
port duty-enables trust to charge for
its product the price Of similar for
eign product plus the tariff
Now, some have suggested that dis
elimination by railroads has aided the
trusts. No question about it. If one
man can secure from railroads better
rates than another man. he will be able
to run the other man out of business.
But even if we prevented such discrlm-
ination by placing every producer upon
the same footing and absolutely prevent
ing faVoritism, monopoly might still ex-
ist
The remedy must go further. 1t must
be complete enough to prevent the or
ganization of a monopoly.
1 think men differ more as to the
remedy than they do as to their opinion
of the trusts. l venture that few people
will defend monopoly as a principle. or
a trust organization as a good thing. but
there are great differences of opinion
as to the remedy.
We have a dual form or government
"a state government and a federal gov
ernment This dual form of government
has advantages which can hardly be
overestimated, yet 1t also has it's dis
advantages When you prosecute trust
in the United States court it hides be-
hind a state sovereignty, and when you
prosecute it in the state court 1t rushes
to seek federal jurisdiction-and we have
some difficulty in finding a prison for 1t.
Every state has, or should have, the
right to create any private corporation
which, in the judgment of the people
Of the state, is conducive to the well
fare of it's people. The people Of a state
are able always to settle a question
which concerns them alone. If they ere
ate a corporation and 1t becomes de-
structive of their best interests they
have power to destroy that corporation;
but If the corporation which oppresses
them is a foreign corporation, created
in another state, they cannot destroy 1t.
In other words. the people Of a state
should not have only a right to create
the corporations they want, but they
should be permitted to protect them
selves against outside corporations.
But 1 do not think this IS sufficient.
1 believe, in addition to state rem
edy, there must be a federal remedy,
and believe congress has, or should
have, the power to place restrictions
and limitations. even TO the point of
prohibition, upon any corporation organ
ized in any state that wants to do busi-
ness outside of the state.
The Saint Paul globe., 1900-06-03

more uniform and credit can be more
safely granted"
The trust cannot only fix the price of
what 1t sells, but it can fix the terms upon
which it sells. And the purchaser must
trust to the managers generosity as to
what is fair.
THAT IS HUMAN NATURE.
What is the first thing to be expected
of trust? That it will cut down ex-
penses. What is the second? That it
will raise prices. That is human nature
God made men selfish. I do not mean to
say that He made a mistake when He
dld, because seldshness is merely the out
growth Of an instinct of self-preservation
1t Is the abnormal development of mans s
desire to protect himself I often wish
we might have a condition in which every
adult who died might leave to his widow
and children enough property for the edu-
cation of his children and the support of
his widow. Society would be benefited,
because II a man dies and leaves no pro-
vision for his wife and cHi:Tren the bur-
den falls upon society. But, while l wish
to see every person secure for himself a
competency, l don't want him to destroy
more than he is worth while he is doing
that. believe the principle ON monopoly
finds it's inspiration in the desire of men
to secure by monopoly what they cannot
secure in the open field of competition. If
l were going to try to find the root of the
monopoly evil 1 would do as 1 have often
had occasion to do-go back to the Bible
for an explanation; and 1 would find 1t in
the declaration that the love of money Is
the root of all evil.

mr. BrYam's Latest
Exposure Of Gbe Crust

The New York Herald publishes the
following article on trusts, from the pen
of w. ]. Bryan:
The trust principle is not a new prin-
ciple but the trust principle is manifest
ing itself in so many ways and the trusts
have grown so rapidly that people now
feel alarmed about trusts who did not
feel alarmed four years ago. The trust
question has grown in Importance, be-
cause within two years more trusts have
been organized than were organized in
all the previous history of the country.
MONOPOLY INDEFENSIBLE.
want to start with the declaration
that a monopoly in private hands Is In
defensible from any standpoint and in
tolerable I make no exceptions to the
rule I do not divide monopolies into
good monopolies and bad monopolies.
There can be no good monopoly. There
may be one despot who is better than
another despot, but there is no good
despotism. One trust may be less harm
full than another. One trust magnsIte
may be more benevolent than another
But there is no good monopoly in private
hands, and 1 do not believe it is safe
for society to permit any man or group
of men to monopolize any article of mer-
chandise or any branch Of industry.
What is the defense made of monoD-
oily? 1t is always placed on the ground
that If you allow a few people to con-
troll the market and fix the price they
will be good to the people who purchase
of them. The entire defense of the trusts
rests upon money argument. II the

San Francisco Has the Wealthest Chnk in the United
States-Success Began With a Lottery

SAN FRANCISCO, June 2.-The most
remarkable millionaire in California is a
Chinaman. His name is Chin Tan Sun
and he is the richest Chinaman in Amer
ica
NTillionaires are not necessarily in
teresting outside the matrimonial mart.
The West has grown so many of them
along with its mammoth potatoes and
other superlative products, that they
have ceased to astonish But here is a
hovelty in the six ciphered class.
Where else on American soil may be
found a millionaire with queue, who
thinks nothing at all Of owning whole
towns; who employs hundreds of white
men and women in his factories and
canneries; who pays taxes on ranches,
city real estate, gold mines and dia-
monds; who runs lottery games; upsets a
city charter when he wants to; imports
contract Iaborers by hundreds from
China; is a power in a highbinder tong;
Conducts a real estate business in Hong
Kong ard several merchandise stores in
San Francisco and is a genuine Monte
CristO in his business methods.
Chin Tan Sun does all these things and
more He is a self-made man. He is
wider awake when he is asleep than
many Of the persons with whom he
comes in contact during business hours
These are some of my reasons for say
ing that he IS the most interesting man
who ever made millions in the West.

In their skilled deliberations they agreed
without a doubt
That his uniform appendix was a knock
in of him out,
An to place him in position fur to hold
a cinch on life
They would have to go prospectin' fur
the trouble with the knife.
Not a havin' anesthetics, they jest filed
him full o. booze
Till his sensitiveness vanished in a para

An they both was somewhat startled
when they laid his innards bare
Fur to find that the appendix they was

Then they thought it was his liver, an

But twas healthy. an his heart was not

An they monkeyed with his stomach an

But they couldn't find no aIlment that de-

The louisiana Purchase

Cost the United States less than three
cents an acre. The question as to its
area was a peculiarly complicated one
and is not to be disposed Of in a brief
newspaper paragraph.
The Oregon country was not embraced
in the purchase despite some assertions
to the contrary. The counter claims OF
Spain and the United States as TO Texas
and other territory were banded back
and forth for years. and were only settled
by the Florida treaty of 1879 The con-
tentions of the United States as to Texas
were based upon strong grounds, and,
apart from other questions, would proba-
bly, have prevailed ultimately. The
treaty OF 1919. however, was a practical
renunciation by the United States as to
any claims to Texas. and by Spain OF
Oregon. and the map of Louisiana is nee
essarily based upon It.
Wonderland 1900, published by the
Northern Pacific Ry.. contains correct
map of the Louisiana purchase and a
brief statement of the negotiations based
upon U. S. official publication and docu-
mentS. It also contains long account Of

Nor rings his bell nor sounds his gong,
Nor heeds the shrek nor frightened cry

Then other gates will open wide.
