A SENATOR DEFENDS TIE TRUST.

Beverage the youn gand eloquent Hoosier senator,
in speech the other day before the Indiana state
vention went Of on tangent defense Of the trust idea
All the same the convention at subsequent hour poured
hot shot into all trusts However it may interest
some to know what Beveridges line Of defense is like
we quote the following excerpt which We deem his
strongest point
Just as te law Of cooperation developed in the labor
world. It has developed in the world Of capital of
conditions and the necessities Of the people For
example: The farmer ships his grain to distant points
hundreds, thousands of miles away. He needs cheap
rates and quick dispatch Short and separate lines Of
railroad were fnconvenient high-priced unsafe and
slow The business required his mail by the swift
est means delay Of day, hour may disaster
Thus transportation found that their profit lay
meeting the necessities of the producing the
world Here in Indiana segregated roads were con
soidated into the Big Four lines. The old J. NJ & J.,
Vincennes and Vandala' were absorbed by the Penn
syvania What followed? Improved service, increased
employment Of labor higher wages regular pay reduced
rates freight lower fares for travel drecnes speed
safety. example: The average rate per hundred
weight grain from Greensburg to Chicago during %
years before the Big Four consolidation was SO cents
Today is cents. To New York the old rate was 67
cents; today. 1914 cents On livestock from Green's
burg TO Chicago the freight for years be-
fore the consolidation 50 per hundred weight
today It is 10 To York then 81 To- today q
cents Competition did not cause all this because be
tween Greensburg and Chicago there is not and never
mas been, the slightest competition What did cause
it? Merely this simple law: Low rates mean greater
shipments and hauling vast quantities at smaller prices
means greater total profits.
Consider the Improvements in speed. Before eonsoli-
dalton the average time Of transportation Of car of
freight from Greensburg TO Chicago was nearly three
days; today the average time is IS hours. To New
York. the old time ten to fifteen days: now the
average time five to six days Or consider increased
convenience. Before consolidation passenger COINS
from Terre Haute New York had to change cars five
times; today he through without a single change
Or take the railway employment throughout the whole
republic; In 1890 less than 100000 men were enuoved
by American railways receiving little over s4000oo0o0
in salaries and wages every year In 1900 nearly 200 GOO
men were employed by railroads were paid nearly
s5S0ooo0eo Per year This Increase was not caused nv
new railways because o-ay there are nearly 500 coo
more men employed by railways than were EMPLOYED in
1897 and paid nearly sl2000000o more every wear
than they paid in 1897 since then not enough
new railways have been built TO employ in operation
75,O00 men"
