Professor Smith, of Rockefeller's Uni
versity, Chicago, has been lecturing out
west on Trusts" Here are some of his
positions, as reported in the press:
Trusts originate through the greater
economies of large administration, not be-
cause of special privileges, like tariff laws
and exclusive right to oil-wells, etc. That
is, trust grows up in natural manner by
the natural law that big concern can pro-
duce more cheaply than small one.
Trusts have not reduced prices, in spite OF
the generally accepted claim by the trust
newspapers and orators that oil and sugar
are cheaper than they used to be. Statistics
prove the contrary, and that petroleum was
never SO high in 20 years past as in 1899.
In fact, he announces his definition of a
trust to be concern which controls pro-
cess. DR.. Smith says trusts are monarchs,
unlimited and unconstitutional monar-
chies."
Isn't it queer that Mr.. Rockefeller can
not hire educated men to teach political
economy who will not proclaim that trusts

If Socialism will not be better for the
people do you believe that MAJORITY
OF the people can be converted to it and
try it? Do you believe that a majority of
the people can be fooled? If you do NOT
believe that a majority can be fooled, what
are you kicking about? Socialism cannot
be tried until majority demand it, So do
not get frightened. A majority of the peo-
pie are not going to study and apply any
rule that will injure them. The danger is
that they will NOT study and thus permit
the rule of people who will continue to con-
spire to skin them by the means of trusts
Really, now, is the thing you are afraid O.
not that they will learn something ano
throw off the rule of the trusts? You ano
your party support the trusts. No? Wei.
then how comes it that your parties have
ruled and the trusts exist? Did Socialists
make laws under which they have been
created? Since when have Socialists been
making the laws? Are not owners of trusts
all opposed to Socialism and in favor of
the old parties?

Tom Watson to Lecture.

The Atlanta papers announce that Hon.
Thomas E. Watson has engaged for a
lecture course of $50 lectures under the
management of the Alkahest Lecture bu-
reau. His first lecture, it is stated, will be
on Imperalism, or Democracy, which?'
Evidently Mr.. Watson has chosen his own
subjects, and his platform utterances will
arouse an enthusiasm never surpassed in
this country. ought not to be, but it is
necessary to state that his use of the word,
democracy" has no connection whatever
with the mongrel plutocratic party mas
querading under that name.
Since his shameful betrayal by the poll
ticians in 1896, Mr.. Watson has devoted his
time to literature, law and his personal af-
fairs. His historical works rank with the
very best, and he has provided abundantly
for the needs and comforts of himself and
family. In the meantime the campfres have
been kept burning by the few faithful along
the lines he famed into such furious flames
in the first half of the '9o's.
Mr.. Watson is in the prime of life and
goes into the lecture field splendidly
equipped in every way for the great work
that lies before him.-Herald, Dalton, Ga.

The decision of the Railroad and Ware
house Commission started little argu-
ment among several students of econom-
les yesterday. The following is the argu-
ment of one we'll known in the city as a
careful student of all reform questions
The decision paves the way for the
trustifying of the iron mines OF Min
nesota. The United States Steel Cor
poration, or its constituent companies
will eventually have complete control
of every mine in St. Louis county.
Those now owned by other individuals or
companies and for which the steel trust
have no immediate use will be obliged to
stay undeveloped until such time as they
are needed. Who should own these
mines? Was this great wealth which they
contain placed there for the exclusive bene-
fit of this corporation, or was it intended
as the rightful inheritance Of all the peo-
pie? You say that the mines we're paid
for, that the government gave the land
away to settlers. But have you thought
how much of this has been secured through
perjured evidence? Many acres of it was
taken as homesteads by persons who never
intended to settle upon the land. The land
in the first place belonged to the people
(The Government and have always ques-
toned congress right to give the mineral
rights away with the land. Few other ma
tons would do this, and we are now reap
ing the fruits of our early carelessness.
Some day, perhaps in the far off future, the
people will ask by whae given right can
few individuals enjoy all the natural wealths
of this world, when they properly belong to
the people. The day of reckoning may be
long ways off, but it is coming, slowly

Grove and satisfying their needs, saying
that they had as much right to the fruit as
the Manager and his friends.
This seemed good in the sight of some
but others shook their heads and said that
it was not the way of Civilization-that
they had better be content to wait till
times picked up" Some even-those who
had received favors at the hands of the
Manager, said that they should have saved
from their supply while at work, and that
they would not then be in want, and the
Aggressive Monkey was cast out of the
Tribe. Hunger came on apace, and soon
there was more murmuring The fruit was
rotting on the ground, but the Manager
would let no noe touch it. This time there
was more murmuring and many good and
Conservative Monkeys openly advocated
taking possession of the Grove, and satisfy
ing their needs as they were wont to do
in the good old days before Civilization.
And so it was decided. And the Mon
keys in a body went to the Manager and
demanded of him the keys to the Grove
and the Manager was much afraid at this
outcry among the people, but his appeal
for "law and order" law which al
lowed the few to take possession of that
which was intended for all-was of nc
avail, and the Monkeys went in and pos
sessed the Grove and the Fruit thereof
There was plenty for including the
Manager of the former Company and all
his friends-but they we're invited to their
share Of the work in gathering the harvest
which they willingly did-seeing that no
one else would gather for them.

keys?-Appeal to Reason.

The Timidity Of Capital.

The supreme court of Illinois has sus-
tanned the decision Of Judge Thompson, re-
ferred to in The Commoner some months
ago, ordering the state board of equaliza-
ton to assess about two hundred and thir-
ty-fve millions of dollars worth of prop
erty, belonging to twenty-three corpora
tons of Chicago, which had been escaping
taxation. And now the corporations are
threatening to leave the state. This is an
old dodge and ought not to deceive any
one. Whenever an attempt is made to
compel corporations to deal Justly with the
public, we hear great deal about the tim
idity of capital. Those who are under the
influence of organized wealth always ex-
press fear that capital will pick itself up and
60 somewhere else. That is the answer
made whenever reduction of the legal
rate of interest is suggested the money
loaners and their advocates always insist
that reduction of the rate of interest will
prevent new capital from coming into the
state and will drive old capital out of the
state. Whenever an attempt is made to tax
notes and mortgages the same argument
is presented; whenever it is suggested that
railroads and other corporations should pay
their fair share of the taxes the tirnidity of
capital is at once offered as a reason why
they should be allowed to shirk the burdens
OF government at the expense of the ordi-
nary citizen. 1t is about time that the plain,
everyday people should show some timid-
ity on the subject of taxation Their rights
will not be respected until they become as
timid and as pugnacious as capital-for,
strange to say, capital seems most pugna-
cious when it is charged with being most
timid. The producers of wealth on the
farm and in the factory have patiently borne
l tax upon consumption levied for the ben
eft OF protected manufacturers,-a tax
which makes the poor man pay more thai
nis share and the rich man less than hi
share. These same wealth-producers have
seen the benefciaries of high tariff siren.
uously opposing an income tax, which was
intended to equalize to small extent the

vantages from legislators, local and gen.

are called upon to list their property for as

Benefits of Civilization.
By Fred D. Warren.

A great traveller went to Africa. He
penetrated far into the interior-where the
foot of Man-Civilized Man-had never
Trod.
He found tribe of Monkeys-contented-
ly living on the things which Nature had
provided in abundance. Each Monkey
gathered what he needed, and his neigh
: bur did the sal1e-and there were none who
lacked.
The man was surprised at the simple
minded creatures, and set about to give
them few lessons in Political Economy.
He gathered together several of the
brightest looking fellows and then unfolded
to them his Scheme.
"Why do you thus go forth and labor.
as do the rest of the tribe? In my country
we do not reap, nor sow-but allow others
to do this for u.s.
"How so?" inquired one.
And the Man, lowering his voice, gave
to his audience of select persons the Secret
The following day-before the rest of the
tribe had awakened, the Select Few, under
the direction of the Man, took possession OF
the forest, and the cocoanut groves. When
the Balance came forth to partake of the
Morning Repast, the Manager of the New
Company stepped forward and said:
"My dear friends, it has seemed wise that
we-my friends here-take possession OF
the land, and the groves and the cocoanuts.
We have decided to give you work that
none may need" and with pleasant smile
and kindly twinkle in his eye, he explained
the Scheme of Civilization which the Great
White Man had brought with him.
The other Monkeys seemed we'll pleased
with the arrangement-for was it not step
toward Civilization went to work with
a will, gathering the fruit of the trees. For
every nut gathered they came and laid one
at the feet of the New Owners. Soon the
members of the Company were in posses
sion of all the nuts they could eat, and hav-
ing need of no more they told their work
ingmen that they would close operations
for the present, and that they could take a
vacation.
This seemed good in the sight of the
tribe, and they scampered about with much
delight.
Presently they became hungry, and would
have plucked of the Fruit of the Trees, but
the manager said: 'Nay, when we have
work for you to do, you can gather the fruit
for us and we will give you part of it for
your own use. But see, we have all we
need for some time to come, and it will not
be necessary to resume operations at pres
ent."
Though the trees were ladened with
cocoanuts, and the Monkeys were willing
to work, the Manager could not be pre-
vailed upon to resume operations-because
there was surplus on hand.
A Consultation was held, and one of the
Monkeys more aggressive than the rest
openly advocated taking possession OF the

Private ownership means that a few shall
own it all; public ownership means that all
should own all. If it is better for the peo-

why would it not be better if the Morgans,
