"Reminiscences.

C. w. Cox, of Conway, the Dep uty Collector of Internal Revenue for this division. was ill the city Tuesday. MT. Cox is an old friend of the editor, our acquaint- ance running back over twenty years. He was then the editor of the Log Cabin of Conway, which was then a very warm Republican newspaper, and a good one too. It is good one now and much improved" in politics. Great changes have come in twenty years.
 Some of you may dread the com ing of the Revenue Man," but we are always glad to see this one, for we just sit down and go over the old days, way back wonder in 1879, when we went with the Press Association to Chicago and Milwau kee, and to Ashland, and then by steamer on Lake Superior around the Apostle Island to Duluth, the city made famous by the brilliant Proctor Knott of Kentucky. Then we went down to White Bear Lake, and to St. Paul and to Minneapolis and the lovely Mine hala Falls, and to Kilbourne City, and the wonderful Falls of the Wisconsin river, and to Oconomo- woe, nestled among those lakes filled with delicious fish; such fish! such fish! When will we look up on their like again? We will nev- CT forget that Lake Superior out ing.
 MT. Cox was with us again ill 80, when we went by the South ern Route to Washington, and on our return down Chesapeake bay to Norfolk, we then went out to Ocean View and went ''swimmen" together i'll the dark and deep blue ocean"
 Talks over these old times bring pleasant memories and are interest ing always.
 Mr. Cox has been many years prominent ill the counsels of his party and deservedly so, as he is bright and brainy-in fact, is alright except his politics. Beside running newspaper, he practiced law many years, and is now con sidered one of the best men ill the Revenue service in the state.
 We hope to see him more often i'll our city and that he may be healthy and prosperous the bal ance of his ays.-Southern Stand ard, Philadelphia.

It Happened in Drug Store.

"One day last winter lady came to my drug store and asked for bottle of cough medicine that I did not have in stock" says MT. c. R. Grandin, the popular drug gist of Ontario, N. Y. "She was disappointed and wanted to know what cough preparation l could recommend. I said to her that I could freely recommend Chamber lain's Cough Remedy and that she could take a bottle of the remedy and after giving it fair trial if she did not find it worth the money to bring back the bottle and would refund the price paid. In the course of day or two the lady came back ill company with a friend in need of cough medicine and advised her to buy a bottle of Chamber1ain's Cough Remedy. 1 consider that very good recom- mendation for the remedy Y For sale by w.

The Trusf Question
Fairly Discussed
Ey Professor George Gunton.


TT TRUSTS ARE to be made a political issue,
in common honesty to the people, the OBJ.
a ject should be frankly stated. The Gst
question to settle is, what are trusts2 Mr.
Bryan and his friends talk about trusts as IL
they were anything and everything that is bad,
but they take no pains to give specific informa-
tion as to what trust is or how it can be dis.
tinguished from any concern that is not trust
Now as a matter OF fact a trust is a very definite
thing; it is a combination OF different firms and
corporations under one management without dis
solving the individual firms, but transference
OF the management of the several properties to
central body, to be managed In trust for the
whole This particular form of organization has
only been adopted in few cases: Standard Oil
Sugar, Whiskey and less than half dozen Others
Through public criticism special legislation and
other causes all these trusts have been dissolved
and reorganzed as simple stock corporations
so that as a matter OF fact not a single "trust"
remains II Mr. Bryan or any Of his followers
think there is trust still in existence, let them
point it out, tell where it is and where It was
organized. Unless they can put their finger on
at least one trust, they in all decency should
stop talking.
Strictly speaking then, the campaign against
trusts is Just wind, II is campaign against a
man OF straw but in reality the socalled war
pie. Mr., Bryan has a perfect right to wage war
against corporations, but he should be honest
about it and frankly declare his real purpose
Large corporations may be very bad thing for
the community, and II so they ought to be abol-
shed, but agitation for their abolition should
be conducted on honest principles. II should be
definitely understood that it is a crusade against
large corporations. To call it q crusade against
trusts when there are no trusts is to practice
u fraud upon the people, At least let US have
the people who are to vote these business con.
Germs out of existence know what they are voting
against Certainly before the people OF this coun.
try can be expected to support such a crusade
they have right to know something about
what il will accomplish
C.
First. then, are all corporations to be sup.
pressed? II so the proposition is very simple.
Of course, this can be done il the people want
II, but It would stop every railroad, trolley,
cable and horse'ear system in the country, and
would close more than 90 per cent OF the manu-
featuring and business ccncerns. In fact, nearly
all businesses larger than the peanut stand would
have 10 be dissolved and reGisiributsd into small
efforts, about the equivalent Of what existed in
the walled towns in the thirteenth century 1t
would, in fact. wipe out about all the economic
effectiveness that the last FIVE centuries of in.
dustral evolution have produced For reduction

OF monopoly this would leave little to be desired.

~ UR DEMOCRATIC contempor-
ary asks us a number Of
~ questions about the so-called
paper trust. 1t wants to
know If we can consider the outcry
against the paper trust buncombe.
That depends. 1t ought not to require
extended argument to convince any
reasoning man that no combination of
capital can permanently surround the
forests ofthe world and levy a dishon-
est embargo on the wood pulp used in
the manufacture Of news print paper.
1t is true. as our contemporary re-
marks. that in the past year the price
Of paper has advanced. 1t Is also true
that expert authorities in the paper
price. Why? Because the demand and
the supply, after a period of eXcep-
tional separation, are getting together.
New companies for the manufacture
of paper are being organized: new
mills erected: new forests invaded:
new processes of production devised.
If company at present prices makes
unnatural profit, competition is invit-
ed, and by a law as Irresistible as
the law of gravitation and as little
subject to statutory regulation, capital
is attracted to competitive investment,
with result that in short time ine-
qualities are equaliZed.
This is true in the paper business, as
in every other business, and it is the
public's one great security against ex-
tortion. If the editor Of our contem-
porary considers that the r.esent
prices Of news paper are eX X,rbltant.
with the companies manufacturing it
paying unfairly earned dividends on
enormously watered stock; in other
words. if he considers that they are
immensely to their own pecuniary ben
eft, there Is no law on the statu' book
to prevent him from joining wi h other
capitalists having surplus money in
readiness for attractive investment to
enter into the same field of production
and divide the market. Nothing VIII ch
Mr. Bryan could do as president would
expedite the growth of competition,
just as nothing he could do as presi-
dent would prevent the present ten
dency toward consolidation in business,
There are certainly specific remedies
available for the protection os the pub
lie against specific injury resulting
from large combinations of capital.
These are advocated as earnestly by
Republicans as by Democrats. Among
them is the proposition to give con-
gress control over corporations, so that
1t may enact specific laws, placing
conditions and restrictions upon re
taking out of charters. This PROPOSE
tion was submitted to vote at the last
session of congress. 1t received the
vote OF practically every Republican
member, and II encountered the oppo-
sition of practically every Democratic
member, and the proposition was lost.
For that defeat of a specific and prac-
tical remedy for abuses in corporate
management the responsibility rests
directly upon the Democratic party. II

4 MONG the preposterous prop
~ ositions submitted to the
4 n people by the Democratic
party as among the para
mount issues of the present campaign,
Is the doctrine that the future Of the
American nation is imperiled by mill
tarism. Our army is held up as
source Of danger, and the prophesy is
made of dire evils to come when the
iron hand Of military rule shall usurp
the constitutional processes Of our gov
ernment, to set up a despot at Wash
ington. These representations are
made with straight faces by the apos-
ties of Bryanism, and the excitement
which they throw into their orations
upon this theme might lead the for
eign observer to believe that the rid
iculous proposition is offered in good
faith.
