COMPETING WITH THE TRUSTS.

Some figures compiled by the New
York Journal Of Commerce, covering
the corporations which have been
formed within the current year, illus
trate very forcibly the truth of Mr..
Hewitt's dictum that each trust which
aims at monopolizing any particular
product of extensive use, and which
creates excessive prices for that article.
contains within itself the seeds of its
own destruction" The suspicion that
a corporation is obtaining exhorbitant
profits at once brings competition into
the field. Substantially every industry
is open to the free competitor of new
capital and new enterprise; and no
trust can successfully close the door to
competition while pursuing policy
which gives exorbitant profits to its
stockholders.
The possible exceptions to this rule
are found in the cases of tusts which,
i'm existence for many years, have grad
ually gained control of the principal
sources Of supply Of the raw material,
of which the Standard Oil Company is
familiar example; or the trust which
owes its extraordinary advantages to
special favors. granted by local legisla-
tive bodies which forbid competition,
of which the New York ice trust is a
notable example; aud the trust Which
has an absolute monopoly because 1t
controls some patented article, of which
Senator Jones' cotton-bale trust is the
most notorious instance.
The general rule is, however, as
stated, that trusts which produce ar
iicles Of universal consumption, where
IN the nature Of things there can be no
moliopolization of the sources of sup
ply of raw material, can never hold the
American market exclusively to them
selves, but must meet as keen conipe-
iition as the smaller establishments out
ofwhich the consolidation was effected.
Their only safeguard against such COM
petition is economy Of production, and
a steady abstentation from the tempta.
ton to advance prices exorbitantly.
AS shown by the figures Of the Jour-
nal Of Commerce, the field in which

ALEXANDER TRoUP RESIGNS.
Result OF Quarrel in New Haven
OE.s.iaI Circles

NEW HAVEN, Conn, Aug. 25.-Aiexan-
der Troup, the Bryan leader in Connecti-
cut, and ex-member of the National Demo-
cratic Committee has caused sensation
in political circles by sending in his restg-
nation TO Mayor DriscoII as Director of the
Board of Public Works 1t is the best
paying ciI:se in the city government and
the holder o. it is always regarded as one
of the most Influential men in the politics
of the town.
The resignation is to take effect on Sep
TENDER /, 1900. 1t is the outcome of an
incident in City Hall in which Troup and
one Of his subordinates, John H Pigott,
superintendent Of sewers, and brother to
ex-Congressman Pigott, figured a few
weeks ago. There was a discussion over
the departments payroll at the time and
as it grew intense Troup ordered Pigott
cut of the room. 1t was further claimed by
Troup that Pigott reached for brick to
throw a the director This was all denied
by Pigott Director Troup called on the
mayor and Presented his resignation with
the condition that it was to take effect in
three days if PigGtt was not dismissed
from the city's service. The mayor tore
up that resignation. Then Troup preferred
formal charges of characterization against
Pigott to Mayor Driscoil. The mayor has
taken no action on the charges.

THE FAMINE IN INDIA.
aarylanders Thanked for Aiding the
Starving Natives.

BALTIMORE. Aug. 25.-Miss H. Lolita
Carswen. former superintendent o. State
junior work of the Christian Endeavor So
ciety. has received a letter from Rev. E.
F. Fresse, treasurer of the famine relief
fund committee. in India.
Mr.. Frease writes to acknowledge the
receipt Of $500 sent out by the Christian
Endeavcr Societies Of Maryland. who set
apart May as a month Of self-deniaI in
order that an Offering might be sent 10 the
sufferers IN India. Mr., Frease states that
the famine is undoubtedly the worst in the
history of midland that the suffering ard
loss of life have been appalling.
The magnificent ponse TO the ca'f
for help from America" he writes, hes
been the astonishhent Ct the world and
but for IL thousands aGi thousands must
have peTished- The amount so generously
sent by the Christian EndeavoTeTs OF Ma
ryl2nd came at a most Cpportune moment
| The long-iookCd- for rains have come to
part OF the famine regions and the pros
poets for good harvest in due time are
bright But the beginning Of the rains
after an acute famine is always the time
OF the greatest suffering. for the harvest
is still in the future, while the cold and
damp literally chill to death many OF the
poor, emaeiated people who had endured
thus far the rigoIs of the famine.
But it is with the greatest distress that
I am obliged 10 write that the rain has
thus far failed over the great Provinces of
| Gujarata and Rajputana. so that a con-
tinuation Of the famine under stiu more
! awful conditions threatens This failure
Of the rains has already terribly increased
the suffering. and those who had hus-
| banded their all to carry them up to the
| tine the rains usually come have been
| added TO the ranks Of the starving.
Cholera is rampant over large sections
| of India and tens OF thousands are dying
| from it alone. Six missionaries and two
| children of missionaries have already died
! Of that disease in the two provinces men
| toned. Besides the present distress the
| support of many thousands of orphan chill
| dren received by various missions must
| be looked after. Undoubtedly one of the
| best means opened to Eadeavor Societies
| for permanent usefulness would be to IN
| dertake the support from year TO year Of
| one or more famine waits and you would
be doing a grand thing if you could get

FATAL FALL DOWNSTAIRS.
Brother Killed While fastening TO
His Sisters Deathbed.

NEWARK. n. J.. Aug 25.-Hurrying to
the bedside of his dying sister, Philip
Corrigan slipped. fell downstairs, broke
his neck and died almost instantly early
yesterday morning in his home, II Oxford
Street. Newark Five minutes later his
sister died.
Ccrrigan was forty-seven years old and
boarded with his sister, Mrs. Bridget
Brown. who was several years his junior
Her husband met violent death several
years ago. leaving her with three young
children to provide for. Her brother as
sisted her in every way possible out Of his
small earnings es a track inspector Tor

when Mrs. Brown became i'll from a
complication OF diseases several months
ago it vas hard work 10 make both ends
meet, but with the assistance Of neigh
bors she received medicines and care Her
brother was constant in attendance upon
her. especially since it recently became
known that her case was hopeless and
her death a matter of only a few days.
He sat with her day and night, and on
Thursday night when he was almost eZ-
hausted he was prevailed lpon 70 go 10

At Manhattan. Kansas. yesterday, Mr..
Bryan made a speech to an audience
largely composed OF Republicans, the town
in question beins a stronghold Of that
party in the state As his remarks we're
received with ringing applause, it may be
assumed that they struck the popular
chord, and viii be not without effect up
on the minis and. perhaps, the political
action of his bearers. We may also pre-
dict with considerable safety that the Hanna
sPellbinder viii be literally abroad in that
part of the land during the remainder of
The campaign. Among ether things which
seemed TO meet the views of the large as
semblage, Mr. Bryan said:
Il want = government that gives every poor
man the hope Ct being rich some day, goV ~
ntant that gives the rich assurance that his
children viii be protected If they ever become
poor
tects few men in their robbery Of the masses
and then denouuccs everybody as an anarchist
that does not like to be robbed.
A Government tkat would give every poor
man the hope of being rich some day, is
the kind we once had in this country, be-
fore Republican legislation turned the COM
mand Of all sources of prosperity over to
a coterie of gras Ping combinations, through
high protective tariffs, the fostering OF
mOnopoIies. and the subseTviency Of the
Treasury TO the jotbing schemes of the
trust magnates. Now the day of modest
completeness has passed. Today, to be
once a worker, with rare exceptions, is 10
be always one. Every legitimate avenue
to opulsnce is closed 10 the man who mas
nothing hut brains. honesty, and industry
with which to strive for it. We are rap
idly coming to a condition where the mid
die class viii be finally wiped out and So
ciety consist only OF pIutocrats, their po-
HticaI retainers, their slaves, and lot OF
beggars, unless something radical is done
to stem the tide OF trust aggression and
absorption.
Mr.. Bryan also declared that he objects
to "a governnellt that protects a few men
in their robbery Of the masses, and then
denounees everybody as an anarchist that
does net like to be robbed" Severe but
correct, That is the only sort of govern
meat that Hannaism produces or seeks TO
produce. The remedy is in the hands OF
the people. If they choose to become
hopeless slaves TO plutocracy. they viii
have the opportunity TO say so in Novem-
Der.
