however. to show that they are not
above and beyond the influence Of the
economic laws that have been In force
for centuries. The trust idea is new,
but the laws which govern successful
business enterprise are as as old as
civilized humanity. and the trusts can
no more escape their operation than

The Importance Of this step as EN-

THE TRUST PROBLEM.

While contrary to the general accept
ance. the experience of some Of The
greatest trust organizations in this
country develops the fact, long under
stood by economic students, that the
trust thrives best when conditions OF
trade are depressed and the buying
and producing capacity of the people
are at the lowest ebb. In the past
six months Of unusual business activ-
ity, with the buying and producing
capacity Of the people at the highest
notch, some Of the strongest trusts
have fallen into difficulties which were
before unknown. The great flour
trust has gone into complete bank
ruptcy. because it was found that no
flour trust could be formed big enough
to prevent competition. The sugar
trust, also, but few weeks ago was
compelled to reduce its dividends one
half for a similar reason. The wire
nail and steel combination, within the
last few days, has been obliged to sus-
pend operations in nearly one-half OF
the mills it operates, on account Of the
lack of demand occasioned by the ac-
tivity of its competitors, and its stock
has fallen below par on the stock mar
ket. People are asking which Of the
trusts will be next to go into a re-
ceiver's hands or to reduce dividends.
There is nothing about these indica-
tions that trusts are subject to the
came relentless inexorable business
laws that furnish or refuse success to
individuals and ordinary firms in busl-
ness life that should surprise any
thoughtful man. Combining a dozen
firms or corporations into one under
the name Of trust does not change
the laws and principles under which
business success must be achieved.
Big dividends earned as a result Of a
temporary suppression Of competition
only invite other big aggregations Of
capital into the same business, and
the new competitors always enter the
field with the advantage Of using the
new est and most economical methods
Of production and without dollar
tied up in outdated and unproductive
plant or machinery.
The germ of final failure to most in
dustrial trust aggregations lies in the
dead and inflated capitalization of
these concerns. Invention has intro
duced and is still introducing new
economies into the refining Of sugar,
the making Of steel, flour and other
articles Of trust manipulation. 1t fol-
lows that at any given time there is
a large amount Of dead capital in
each Of these industries invested in out
of date and useless construction. A
trust combination in either Of these
industries means the issue Of shares
to cover all Of this non reproductive
capital, and in many instances a liberal
addition Of water besides. The mo
ment new concern, capitalized on
sound basis and employing only the
newest and most productive methods,
takes the field the trust aggregation
is at disadvantage, and sooner or
later must absorb its new rival or go
to the wall.
1t is becoming very evident that the
trusts are not such menace to legi-
innate individual business enterprise
as many have supposed. Trusts are

THE DAILY DEMOCRAT
FRIDAY, NOV. 1e, 1900.
LEI The PEOPLE CHOOSE.

One of the features of the visit of a
delegation of Akrons citizens to the
City Commissioners this morning in
behalf of the candidacy of officer John
u. Washer for the office of Chief of
Police was the apparent unanimity of
sentiment upon the part of the influen-
tiaI members of the delegation in fa-
yor of the election of the Chief by
popular vote.
A decided preference for this popu-
lar system of choosing the chief was
expressed by Gen. Chas. Dick and
Capt. Aaron Wagner, the acknowl-
edged leaders Of the local Republican
party.
Several weeks ago an ordinance was
introduced in Council by City Clerk
Chas. II. Isbell providing for this very
plSn of restoring to the people the
right to choose their own Chief of Po-
lice, but the measure failed of passage
by only one vote.
If the plan Of reorganization pro-
posed to be effected by the Board Of
Commissioners does not meet with
the approval of the people it Is the
duty of Council to provide the legisla.
ton that will enable the people at the
spring election to choose their OWL
Chief of Police.
The Democrat and all but one of the
Democratic members of the Council
declared at the time the ordinance was
pending that to restore to the people
the right to choose public official was
not "a step backward" and it is nc
mean compliment to the Democratic
advocates of the election of Chief OF
Police by the people that their propo
sltlon has been endorsed by such rep
resentatve Republicans as Capt. Wag
oner and Gen. Dick.

place am sure that his appointment
would meet with the approval of the
people generally. / think there are
other men who are competent to fill
the place. but a great many citizens
are impressed with the idea that Mr.,
Washer would be the right man for
the Board to elect"
Gen. Dick introduced his remarks
by saying that he had had no expecta-
tion of attending the meeting or of
saying anything to the Board. AS al
ready stated he made known his posi-
tion In reference to the power of ap-
pointment conferred upon the Board
by the law. which created Akron's form
of government. Continuing he said:
"All are agreed that this man Washer
would make a good Chief of Police.
The only way his friends could make
known their feeling in this matter was
/ by visiting the Board. have no
doubt that every man realizes that
the city has gotten an unfortunate
reputation by the recent occurrences.
This can be obliterated, in measure,
by the prompt reorganization of the
police force. You should treat Mr..
Washers candidacy on it's merits. If
better man can be found / am sure
this committee will have no feeling
against his appointment. 1t is not
the intent of those who are here to use
undue influence, to overawe or to in
timidate."
Prosecutor r. NJ. Wanamaker was
the most outspoken of any of those
present. After his preliminary words
he said Just at this time l know
of no one act that will contribute sc
much to the security of the welfare OF
our city as the appointment of Mr.

Gen Dick and Capt Wagner, two
of Akron's leading Republicans, de-
clared at the City hall this morning
that the plan OF the Democratic
Councilmen 30 restore to the people
their right TO choose their own CHIEF
Of Police was the right way. To say
that the Democratic Councllmen were
wrong does violence TO the principle
of representative government. The
Councllmen who voted against City
Clerk Isbells ordinance to restore the
right of selection to the people I'M
piled by their votes that handful of
politicians are more competent than

the interests of Mr., Washer we have
come to you not as politicians but as
taxpayers and citizens"
He was followed by Mr.. II. #, Palmer,
who said that he had not expected to
take any part in the meeting and that
he wished It understood that he was
not attempting TO dictate the appoint
men of any one man.
Il am friendly to Mr., Washer" he
said, "and feel that he is n man of
