THE MONEY TRUST AND OTHERS.

W. R. Hearst, Editor the Journal:
Will you kindly explain the meaning
OF the newspaper term, money Trust?'
Is not any trust money trust? If the
money trust is so harmful, why do not
the people assume control of it for
themselves and operate it for the bene-
fit of the masses? J. B. D.
Those banks controlled by men of
vast capital, which have mutual un-
derstanding as to the movements of
money, rates of interest on loans and
various other things affecting the COM
mercial prosperity of the country, are
called the Money Trust.
They can cramp Wall Street until the
blood runs. Thousands of business
houses are at their mercy and are
obliged to trust in their honor for con-
tinued existence.
If the City National Bank, controlled
by the Rockefellers, and a few more
promiminent banks were to agree to do
so, they could throw the country into
a financial panic tomorrow which
would sweep down many solid in
dustry to utter ruin.
Of course, this is dangerous power
for few men to possess, but how are
the careless, happy-go-lucky people 10
prevent it unless they get on their toes
at the polls and vote the corrupt trusts
out Of existence?
A good trust might be a very fine
thing from a commercial point of view.
But how are you to organize good
one?
AS matter of fact, no trust, be it a
trust of money, marbles or chalk, or
any other commodity, which places the
power of Gear in the hands of a few
men, can be anything but bad.
The people must learn how to pro-
perly operate the power they possess in
the voting trust before they can expect
to overcome the evil of other trusts

WHAT TRUSTS ARE,

It is the fashionable thing now for
republican state convention platforms
to offer the people little opiate in the
way Of resolution to quiet their
nerves on the trust evil. The Ohio
platform resolution recommends re-
striction of "so.called" trusts. Other
republican state platforms and speakers
guarantee that the republican party
will take care of them-which is true
probably in the same sense that it has
taken care of them since the present
administration came into power. The
republican national platform will, NO
doubt. have trust plank in it shaped
after the lines Of the Ohio idea. Sen
ator Hanna called on the Ohio conven-
tion to sound the key note for the next
presidential capaign and it no doubt
did in it's ''so-called" trust plank
There won't be anything of also
called" trust declaration by demo-
cratic convention. It will strike square
at them and will call them what they
are just as the late David A. Wells did
when in defining trusts he said:
What is trust? In the popular
and political sense it means a com mbina-
tion Of the domestic producers of GER
tain commodities to control production
and advance prices. No trust of this
kind, operating on articles for which
there is possible competitive supply
from other bountries, could be main
tanned in the United States for single
month except under one of two condi-
lions-either all the competitive pro-
ducers throughout the world must be
brought into the trust or, what is the
same thing, the product Of the whole
world must be controlled; OF the pro-
duct of all foreign producers must be
shut out from the markets of this coun-
try. The first result is not attainable.
It would be oviously impracticable to
induce all the manufacturers of starch
for example, in all the different coun-
tries of Europe, to unite and put the
control of their business in the hands of
trustees residing in the United States
The second is made not only possible.
but effective in the highest degree, by
the imposition Of tariffs, or duties, on
the importation of the articles in which
the trusts are especially interested, so
high as 10 completely bar them out of
the American market. These duties
the Mckinley tariff act provides. (The
Dingley re.enacted or increased them
1t thus becomes the creator and pre-
server of trusts and monopolies, which,
freed from foreign competition, are ad-
vancing prices to American consumers
to an extent that will afford them from
sc to 100 per cent. more profit than can
be fairly considered legitimate, but in
which profits their employees do not
participate. There are hundreds of
trusts in the United States that could
have no existence except for the high
duties that have been enacted or kept
on, in order to maintain and project
them
