| conveys TO these corporations a semi
public or government endorsement that
| may materially affect the marketsvalue
of their stock and bonds. That they have
obtained a privilege that enables them TO

ardxthat the government, having made II
possible for a few citizens to obtain the
| capital of the many for invest ment, should
| exert all its power to protect That capital
and confne the use OF it to legitimate
business.
1t has ever been the contention oe this
paper that the government should inter
fere just as little as possible With the prl-
waite affairs of life and it has been our
observation that whenever the government
has attempted to interfere it has usually
| ma de a mess of it and done more harm
than good. But We have no quarrel with
Mr.. Coler. of New York, on the general
principle which he lays down. The power
that creates a corporation undoubtedly
|, has the right to regulate=tne conduct OF
such a corporation. The crea is greater.
than the creature, and the Legislature OF.
the State may fairly regulate those cor
porations which it charters to do business.
AS to what these regulations should De,
that is a question Of expediency. Ihls IS
the day Of organization and corporations
| are necessary to carry on the great a1Islrs
of an age of steam and electricity. Ihe
Times believes that it is good sense Tor 5tne
c. noa+ cIlP n n
izations and to be as liberal with them as
is consistent with the general welfare ana
the rights of individuals. But we repeat.
that is a matter of detail and eXpedlencs.
We do not pretend to dispute the fact IN at
all such corporations are within law and
/ reason subject to legislative lcontrol and
regulation If this matter be lett 10 the
| individual State The Times has NO Word OF
| protest to offer, but we shall never con-
sent to the idea advanced by Mr. bryan
and more recently by Republican leaders
! i'm Congress, that it is within the province
of the Congress of the United States TO
control and regulate corporations doing
| business in the individual States and III
defiance of States rights.
1t is claimed by the extreme antl-tTuSt
people that the individual States are
powerless to deal with this question ana
that if the trusts are to be regulated IL
must be by national legislation ADMIT
that principle, let the individual states
once give up their right to regulate cor
pora tons within their own borders ana
transfer the right to the Congress OF Tue
United States, and States rights Will soon
nave become thing OF the past we sflail
then have taken the first step toward
complete Capitalization and paternallsIn'
| and the rest will be easy.
| THE present New York law, designed
| to make the operations of corporations
pl1blic will doubtless show what aovan-
| tase there is in Mr. Colers suggestion ana
Will demonstrate conclusively Whether
| or not a State is able to settle THESE aues-
| lions for itself. For our own part we shali
| ever maintain that the proper ana true
way is to manage these affairs locally

A HINT FROM APoPUIsT.

Wharton Barker, who Is spoken OF as
nominee of the Populist party FOR the
Presidency. In recent interview said
that ..;herc cannot longer be a doubt IN
the mind of anyone who considers the
situation that at least 10000 to 2oos,ose
pon,,,ist votes cast for Mr.. Bryan In 1886
will this year be lost TO him.
There is food for thought in this The
Democrats in 1896 made bid with the
chicago platform for. the Popuiist vote.
aud eap,ured ii. 4 But TO poi that vote
In 1900. even greater concessions to the
Popiiists must be made. and if this be
done. 1t gees without saying that 1t will
drive away more Democrats than 1t lost
fnur years ago. There IS but one right
/. conrse to pursue. and that is for the
party TO return to its old time principles
and make a bid for the vote that naturai-
ly belongs to It The Democratic party
is always strongest when it is fortified
by its true principles. When it forsakes
these and tiickers with voters who do not
subscribe TO its doctrines, 1t snakes pupic
confidence, offends its own and invariably
drives off more voters than it gains from
without The party leaders will be fool
ish indeed if they do not profit by late
experiences. 1t were simply impossible
for the Democratic party to make such
another revolutionary fight as 1t made IN
1856 and survive. It was bad enough
when there was cry of calamity in the
land But to repeat the folly when every
evil prediction then made and every
Populistic argument advanced have been
disproven. and when the country is en-
joying the greatest prosperity that 1t
has ever known, were little short OF mad
ness. Yet in order to capture the Popu-
list vote the party must go bowshot
beyond the advanced step in Populism
--!lieh it took four years ago. But IL the
party will turn its back upon socialism
and plant itself once more upon the
eternal ramparts of true Democracy, 1t
Will turn defeat into triumph

A WELL KNOWN CITIZEN.
Emery E. Arey. Died This Morning

Emery e. Arey an old resident of
Barre, died this morning at 2.3o after
an illness of over two years.
He was born at Vinal Haven, Me-,
in 1861, being 3s years Of age last
September, but came to Barre and Sc
cured employment as stone cutter,
working at this trade off and on until
he commenced in the fish business.
He was located at the old stand, the
City Fish market for almost four
years but sold his interest therein to
take up the quarry business. The
quarry business was continued for two
years when he again went back cut
ting but only remained short time
when he left for Vinal Haven to take
care of the old folks.
He had not been there long when
he contracted a severe cold which led
into the grip and finally into con
sumption.
Mr.. Arey thinking change of eli
mate might benefit his health made
arrangements to reside in Denver,
COL, and in June 1898, went there to
reside. He remained there exactly
20 months, returning to Barre in
October 1899.
He seemed much benefited by his
soiourn in a warmer climate, but the
disease was too much for his system
He passed away peacefully this morn
ing at his home, 20 Maple Avenue,
leaving wife and 10 year old son.
He was a member of the Knights
of Pythias, Hiawatha lodge, and Can
ton Vinton, |. O. .. f., and the New
England order of Protection.
There remain to mourn his loss a
wife and son, two brothers in Barre,
a father and mother and one brother
at Ninal Haven, Me.
The funeral will be held at 10 O clock
Thursday morning at the Congrega-
tional church, Rev. S. y. Jackson
will otliciate.
