TWO TRUST FAILURES.

It is not so long ago that we recorded
! the fact that the stock of the Flour Mill
ing Trust was selling for twenty-five cents
$780, and for stock thai had sold as high
as $50 per share. 1t is the old story Of
competition, which attacks no less the
trust than the individual, that caused this
sudden ana serious shrnkage in value
Now comes the further statement that the
Wall Paper Trust, which has been in active
operation for six years, is going to dis
solve. leaving its members 10 seek each
for himself to make dividend on the
money which he has invested in his plant.
Water does not seek its level with any
more certainty or tixedness of purpose than
does capital seek TO ind held for invest
ment that will give the greatest return for
the money laid out. There are too many
men in America possessing money and
brains to permit any single fortune or any
combination of men and money TO gain
mere in its field OF employment than is just
and proper IN view of the labor expended
and the risk run. Just as soon as any
man or body of men find out that some
other person is making higher return
than the average yield from moneys in
vested in manufacturing or other indus
tries then forthwith does the one who has
received this Illuminating information en-
ter into active competition with those
whom his experience in business tells him
are getting more than their share of re-
turns.
1t is not prophecy, it is common sense
to say that trusts, SO far as they are
harmful and unjust. cannot exist unless
they have special privileges. The inteln-
sence and ability OF the American people
will always prevent any body of. men or
capitalists from forming a monopoly in
matters which are not controlled by legis-
lation, and a protective tariff created TO
earn dividends for party favori;es will DO
more TO build up trust than all the evil
designs or rapacious yearnings in the
world. On the other hand removal of
this cause would, in our opinion, require
Very little if any further action on the
part Of the law-making power

Senator Chauncey NJ Depew recently
made trip 10 the South. and Charleston,

he did and said while guest OF the Grid

he danced the cake walk with Little Red
Riding Hood at Mrs. Andrew Symonds
Mother Goose party.
But he has just been cOnfessing TO his
friends in Washington that it was at this
party that he was "rattled' for the first
time in his life while making a speech.
The social life at Charleston and some
surrounding cities was represented at the
ball thnt night Every one except DR..
Depew was dressed in the costume of a
Mother Goose child. After the cake walk.
in which the Senator from New York
showed that he was quite equal 10 the

asked him to make a speech TO the chill

He consented al once, and stood up on
a little platform at the far end where the
orchestra was stationed He admits that
he began without quahms.
He spoke for about five minutes with
out creating either applause or comment.
Then he used a word of FOUR syiabtes.
Suddenly the great audience OF children
ran toward him and pressed in on MIN,
clapping their hands together, looking in
to his eyes beseechingly, the more ven
turesome pulling his coat tails. and all
crying out: Oh, Mr.. Depew, what does
that word mean. Please spell It Tor US
We don't know any word like that down

with his speech. but the grown-up chill

such counties beyond the fear of negro

Editor of The Times:
Sir,-Some one said in the morning press
that Mckinley and prosperity was de-
fusion because prices had been raised on
commodities. Well. that is prosperity for
them That is good, because the people
ara buying more chickens, eggs and but
ter and other provision by far than in
81, 80 and SO, and they could not do il un-
less they received more wages. Again, go
up Broad Street and tell me who are the
rich from the poor. The people dress bet
ter and feed better than was ever known.
More go to the sea-shore and ride on the
street cars than was ever known before.
Go down on Candles Hill and see day
and night the great industries turning out
more work and giving more men employ
ment than Tor many years. Is this pros
perity, to say nothing Of the nearly ten
million employees over our common coun-
try who have had their wages raised two
or three times, and the Old soup-houses
OF '96 abolished, and the laborer generally
