Says Combination Will Control Trade Of
The World.

Z. A. B. Wideuer. member Of the
Philadelphia syndicate which is aiming
TO get control Of the Cincinnati Street
Railway Oompany's Property, in an
interview says:
"In my opinion oil combinations Of
capital are beneficial TO the public.
Combinations do not put up prices.
II they attempt TO do so they are Ger.
tain to be unsuccessful. Combinations
are responsible for the present business
prosperity Of the country and will
cause prosperity TO become permanent.
The old older Of things is changing.
Business is no longer amatter Of oom-
Petition between individuals. Il Is a
composition between nations BY the
combination Of capital In business we
will master the trade Of the world.
Combinations guarantee steady ana
permanent employment to laborers at
good wages. They prevent the crises
and industrial disturbances that are due
to ovsr-production. They give the pub
Ito the benefit Of vast sums which bust.
ness men under the old system wasted
In lighting each other.
"Only one class hl' been injured by
the movement toward the consolidation
Of interests that were formerly COM
peting. These are the commercial
travellers, who were employed TO race
about the country and push the sale of
competing goods. They will have 90

things. aud II they ere men Of ability

New Iberia, at the age of 81 years
and 4 months.
Mrs. VOORHEES, had been sick for
several months, and her death was
not unexpected, but her noble
character, her kind dispositions
had drawn around her a host OF
friends who esteemed and bowed
her and who daily inquired about
her condition, and expressed their
ssympathies for her and her fami-

her death.
Mrs. VOORHEES, was buried in st

Closing Up The Plants.

Those who are foolish enough
to believe that "trusts are good
things" will no doubt have their
minds disabused of that idea by
xhe plans which the great steel
trust are preparing to carry into
effect. It appears that the COM
bine has determined to concen-
trate its plants in two or three
places, chiefly in Pittsburg. and
TO abandon the small plants scat
tered throughout the country.
This action. it is safe TO say. will
not be viewed with favor by the
people of the towns abandoned,
many of which are dependent upon
the business of the steel and iron
industry, and have in fact grown
up around the mills.
What the trust proposes TO do

who are to be thrown out of en-
ployment is not known, but it is
quite probable they will be com-
PEELED 10 shift for themselves o.
best they can. Aside from being
stranded by the closing of the
mills and many now prosperous
towns, quite number of workmen
will be subjected to heavy loss. a.
they have out of their savings
purchased homes of their own, and
these homes will have to be sacri-
iced. Even in the event that the
trust removes the vorkmen to the
Few places where they propose 10
