BLOCKING LOCAL ENTERPRISES.

A very striking instance OF the methods
and power OF the trusts in suppresslng
Independent Industrial action and keeping
back local development, is told OF by tha
Columbus. Ca. Enquirer-sun. 1t ought to
be one of the most effective arguments
against trusts that could be put before
the American people.
Columbus has several big cotton mills
and yet others are found in nearby towns.
All accumulate quantities OF waste" A
few local capitalists saw what they be-
lieved to be a fine opening for the util-
izauon of this material in a "waddng"
mill The cotton mill men subscribed
$4,000 toward the erection Of such mill
aud the work of construction was begun
But the activity was short-liyed-
local capitalists had forgotten to take a
sufficiently broad view OF the conditions
in the Geld which they were intending to
enter. The Enqulrer-sun tells tina re-
nalnder OF the story:
When tho promoters OF tho enterprise care
fnliy made their arrangements they DID not
ncu1e in their calculation the batting and
waddiug trust of the country. They soOu
concern and thoroughly organized ana
BhreWaiy managed.
Work mad not progressed on the plant very
far before the officers OF the company re-
cCiyed ward from the trust that they would
like TO have a conference with tho company.
This conference was held In New York. the
three stockholders referred To representing
tho Columbus concern. The trust demon
sirsted 10 the satisfaction OF tho gentlemen
thai they could crush them out easily The
trust made removable offer % the com

have been refunded their money.
Here was case OF the brutal exercis,
Of the power OF the combines. Tho apol
ogists of the trusts tell US that there I,
no monopoly" in this country. that tn,
laws do not sanction "monopoles" ant
that every citizen has the Same RICH

in any kind OF business This is the beau
tifui theory; the Columbus incident 4
the practice And this power TO crust
out independent action is possible onl!
because what lava VIC have against un
lawful combines ara not enforced by thu
Federal government. In cases like tho on
islstures have shamefrlly neglected t
enact sufficiently comprehensive and draa
tic legislation to meet thu evil.
Columbus has lost another useful en-
terprise, local capital has been as effec
tually denied independent action as II pre-
vented by a cars ukase and tho indus
trial and labor worlds have suffered nc
eordingly.
This is only one among many simila
instances that have come to light, Ho,
many thousands of such incidents hay
occurred that have escaped publicity

SOUTHERN AGRICULTURAL PROS
pEnIEE.

character OF prosperity OF the genuine
sort. that has not been stimulated by
government nor by combines and has been
steady and progressive for the past ten
years, but has failed to attract the gem
eral attention which its volume or i'm
portance demands, Is the continued and
remarkable agricultural development OF
tho South.
At the meeting OF the Cotton States ag-
r1cultural commissioners in Raleigh, n.
c., Hon. o. B. Stevens Of Georgia de-
clared that the Southern farmers, as a
class, were more prosperous now than
they ever were, before or since the Clgn
war
The facts which Justify this conclusion
are many and patent in nearly all the
Southern States. Some time since The
Post called attention to the fact, several
years ago, in fact, that while IA lures in
the commercial world were startling in
number and scarcity OF money and pan
icky feeling were the rule in the East and
Middle West. the South moved along Sc
renely and solidly and no such suffering
was experienced by us as was the case in
the other sections. Our banks continued
open and counted the fewest number OF
failures, and while our mercantile and
factory business may have been somewhat
depressed an actual collapse was the
rarest occurrence.
The reason was simple and apparent
the south's agricultural class was easy
and enjoying steady improvement in
conditions, There was the great staple
crop that always brought money. Tho
price OF cotton may have been low, but
the quantity served TO even up things
and It was a crop that was SO extensiye.y
raised that none who would work were
compelled to suffer. All other crops, es-
pecially food crops. helped Just that much
and there has been of late years a growing
diversity that now bids fair to render
