can. GROWN" has hundreds of

$40 900 a day. including Sundays and

THE rRusrs AND PARTIES.

The pretense OF democratic dema-
gogues that the trust question is an Is
sue between the parties and that the
republican party is for the trusts is
pretty neatly exposed by David Wilcox
in an article in the February Forum.
The following is from that article:
ION July 2. 1890, Congress passed
what has since been known as the
Sherman Antitrust Act. Nevertheless
In his last annual message, President
Mckinley suggested further legislation
upon the subject. And It seems quite
certain that the platforms OF both par
ties at the approaching national con-
ventions viii contain expressions OF
the same general character. Il H.
therefore, OF interest 70 observe what
is the scope Of the present law. For
If this statute constitutes a complete
exercise OF the power Of Congress, the
idea OF further legislation is merely an
idle delusion.
THE authority which Congress pos
sesses to legislate upon the subject Il
found in the constitutional provision
that It shall have power TO regulate
commerce with foreign nations. an
among the several states; and tn
acts prohibited by the statute are, &C
cordingly. such as are in restraint o
trade OF commerce among the severe
states or with foreign nations. Wha
constitutes such commerce and wha
amounts 10 such a restraint thereof a
may be prohibited by Congress hay
therefore. been the fundamental quel
tons for the courts TO decide.
AS President Mckinley says in h
last annual message 1t will be PEI
ceiyed that the act is aimed at ever
kind OF combination in the nature
trust or monopoly In restraint Of int
state OF international commerce. Il
clear, therefore, that so long ago
1880 Congress exercised dts full pow,
against the so-called trusts. Il can

QUITE A COMMON PRACTICE.

QUITE A COMMON PRACTICE.
In some cities it is quite a common
practice-to officially blackmail cor
porations. The practice is hard on the
average citizen who patronizes the cor
poratlons.
Whosoever renders a service for an
ether is entitled to adequate pay there
for. Those who furnish telephone.
telegraph, power. light, heat, transpor-
tatlon or other conveniences and ser
vices are justly entitled TO a reasonable
profit on their necessary investments.
il costs them large sums for labor. ma
ohinery, supplies. rents, repairs, etc
They must sell their services for
enough to return certain interest
upon the money consumed by these
things.
Now. il In addition 10 these legiti-
mate expenses these institutions ar,
compelled TO pay for the privilege Of
using their franchises. they must, o.
course. add 10 the prices charged fol
their services sufficient TO bring then
returns for such illegitimate expendi
lures.
That Is hard on the consumer; bu
the consumer has no reason to blam
the purveyor. It is the man who ab
serbs who should be located by a granl
Jury first and trial jury later.
