Trust Slavery.

The memphis Commercial APP
peal, recounting the species of
slavery which the trusts require
men to endure says:
"The worker can be required to
work over time. He can be re-
quircd to work for less wages.
He can be made to patronize the
trusts stores and rent one of the
trusts houses. He can be made
also to pay more for his groceries
and clothing and rent than he
would have to pay elewhere. He
can be compelled to wear partlc-
ular uniform. He can be taxed
for things he doesn't want and
be denied the things he would
have. He can be curtailed in his
personal liberty in many ways.
If he makes an invention in his
particular line of work he will be
compelled to sell out to the trust
for such a song as the trust
names; otherwise he could never
dispose of it or put it into prac-
teal effect. He may even be
deprived of free speech and the
right Of free assembly; for if he
incurs the i'll will of the trust cap
tains, he IS likely to be deprived
of his position, and under trust
conditions this is equivalent tc
exile in the desert. In short,
under the ideal regime projected
by the Schwab school of politica
economists, the working man
would have to take what he could
get, do what he was told, live
where he was ordered, buy where
he was enjoined, stay where he
was hidden, and eat, drink and
clothe himself according to pre-
scribed rules. In other words
he would enjoy all the privileges,
liberties and immunities of a con-
Wet in a stockade. =

Ready Prints.

We reproduce in this issue
some extracts from an address
delivered before the North Caro-
lima Press Association by Mr.. d.
]. Wichard, publisher of the
Greenville IN. c. Reflector. He
handles the ready print" ques-
ton without gloves and advances
some burning truths.
This should be an interesting
matter to the publishers of this
state inasmuch as it is one of the
prime causes why the weekly
papers have gotten their adver-
tlsing rates down below the cost
of production. A Northern adj
vertising agency had the concen-
trated check and "quint escence" y
of gall to send us One-inch
electro advertisement with eX-
plicit Instructions to insert it
one year, furnish two copies of
the paper one year and charge
their account with the pltlful
sum of $500. Now, who is to
blame for this state of affairs?
The ready-print editors are to
blame. If every one who is now
using ready prints, would drop
it and adopt the all-home plan,
IN less than six months they
could raise their rates to Justify
the extra work and not only that,
but they would soon be enabled
to enlarge their papers and still
print them all at home. If the
Mississippi Press Association
would take this matter up we be-
lieve a great reform could be
brought about which would Gle
vate to a considerable extent the
standard of Mississippi journal
ism.

1t used to be quite popular
among the country editors to
complain about their poverty in
comical verse. But in these
times of prosperity and bust
ness activity, it sounds real abb
surd rather than funny, to hear
these pitiful walls of the country
editor. If an editor can't make
money out of the newspaper
business he should get out of the
profession and not degrade it any
longer. 1t is sad but true that
there are men running sheets,
called newspapers, whose only
ambition is glory, patched pants
and railroad pass.
