Trusts Have Wrought
Great Good TO America

Just as the law Of cooperation de-
veIoped IN the labor world. so II has de-
yeloped in the world of capital out of
natural 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 inconveni-
ent. high-priced, unsafe. and slow. The
business man required his mail by the
swIftest means; delay of a day, an hour
may mean disaster. Thus TRANSFORMATION
men found that their profit lay IN meeting
the necessities Of the producing and the
business world. Here in Indiana segre-
gated roads were consolidated into the
Big Four lines. The old J. N & L
'Vincennes.' and 'VandaIia' were absorbed
by the Pennsylvania. What followed?
Improved service. increased employment
Of labor. higher wages, REGULAR pay, re-
deed rates or freight. lower fares for
travel, directness, speed, and safety. For
example: The average rate per hundred
weight on grain from GreensbUrg TO Chi
cago during twenty-five years before the
Big -Four consolidation was 80 cents
Today it is 8 cents. To New York the
old rate was 671z cents; tOdaJS 1872 cents.
III iANS SAOSs from ATEeenSBuFs 10 CnlCaEo
the average freight rate for twenty-five
years before consolidation was So cents
per hundred weight: today It is Is cents
To New York then, S1.10; today, q cents
Competition did not cause all this, be-
cause between Greensburg and Chicago
there is not, and never has been, the
slightest competition. What did cause it ?
Merely this simple law; Low rates mean
greater shipments, and hauling vast guam
titles at smaller prices means greater
total profits. Consider the Improvement in
speed. Before consolidation, the average
time Of transportation Of a car Of freight
from Greensburg to Chicago was nearly
three days; today the average time is six
teen hours. To New York, the old time
vas ten 10 fifteen days; now the average
time Is Eve 10 six days Or consider in

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, April 23.-In as
suming the gavel as chairman Of the In
diana Republican State convention today
Senator Beverage made an eloquent
speech in which he covered in an ex-
haustive manner the present policies Of
his party.
The address was intended as a keynote
for the Republicans during the coming
Congressional campaign throughout the
country.
He devoted much of his time to dis
cussion OF the trust problem. declaring
that the natural movement Of commerce
and industry had been toward co-opera-
tion and combination.
as labor had organized for protection
and advancement, so had capital combined
for greater general prosperity
Out of the necessities of the people, as
the law Of cooperation had developed in
the labor world. so had il developed in
the world Of CAPITAL
He ascribed much of the progress Of the
country to increased transportation faeil-
tiles which had been made possible only
by great combinations of capital.
Speaking of The Steel Trust, he said That
It now employs over 10000 more Iaboring
men than the total previously employed
by the individual companies that formed
the combine, and that the average wage
10 each Iaborer is 20 per cent more than
before tho consolidation
As Il movement toward commercial
and industrial combination had benefited
the Iaborer, it had also benefited the
agricu1turist, and he cited the fact that
American farmers in the last six years
had paid OF mortgages 10 the amount Of
$3O0. e6G.100
With his live stock alone, the American
farmer could pay the entire national debts
of England and Germany. and still lave
left more than $50o. COO. eco

Uses the Case of
England as Example

So, for example, England decades ago
seized on the worlds trade, and. with her
commercial expansion, came control of
countries inhabited by infant or decadent
peoples. And such was their benefit to
England that everywhere she extended
her dependencies; and her admins ration
Of order, law, and justice to these peo-
pies, her development of the resources of
these lands, is a noble chapter CT English
history. And this administration has
brought its material reward as well as it's
glory. For England sells TO India alone
every year nearly $500, coo 600 worth of
products; to Ceylon alone more than $40.
900, 00G worth; to the Malay States alone
near SIS, 900, 900 worth; and through her
trade centeTs she reships to China S120,
000, 900 worth. All told, her sales directly
to her dependencies and through them to
the Orient reach beyond $500, GOO, 900. De-
prive England of these markets for her
surplus and English Workingmen would
starye. Fail to give America future mar
kets for her surplus and American work
ingnnen will staTve Germany under
stands this. and searches today on every
coast for territory where the German flag
may be planted as well as German goods
sold. Even France, now past the meri-
dian of her power, still seeks to obey this
universal law And If France mad not
wasted her energies on European battle
fields. bat instead had poured her vigor
along the lines of French expansion q cen
fury ago, France would be still advancing.
Had she chosen Canada rather than cam
paigns in Italy planted French industry
and civilization west of the Mississippi,
instead of planting her standards amid
the SHOWS OF Russia. she would have reap
ed worldwide power instead of Waterloo.

work And. therefore. the very basis of
the organizations of labor and capital is
merely the unfettered human brain work
ing out for human use the possibilities of
the great forces of nature And he who
would destroy those organizations must
first abolish their causes-destroy tbs tel
egTaph, the telephone. the wireless mes
sage; tear up the shining tracks of steel
over which the commerce of the world is
flying And so the simplest mind can see
that attempts at such destruction, though
unsuccessful would be disastrous; yet
that is what the opposition proposes
They suggest no better methods They
propose no remedy for admitted evils.
They denoUnce the whole twentieth cen
fury system of organization. If they are
logical and honest they propose that the
Big -Four Railroad system shall go back
to the condition Of a quarter of a century
ago; the great establishments that fur
nish markets for the farmers livestock
shall cease their operations: that labor
organizations shall be disbanded and that
each workingman shall act independently
OF his fellow-laborer along the old prin-
ciple Of competition Dare they deny that
this is their puTpOSe2 If so, their cause
is rejected by themselves. Dare they adj
nit that this is their purpose? II so,
their cause is condemned by its own folly.
The Republican party always stands
for liberty of thought and action-stands
for the forces that build, stands against
the forces that destroy We stood for
protection that labor might be free; for
honest money that the people should not
be dcfrauded- We stood against repudi-
alton that the Republics honor might be
saved; against secession that the nation
might be preserved And Just so we stand
today against the destruction of organized
labor and capital that this twentieth cen
fury civilization may continue. and THAI
the American people may march on TO yet
nobler achievements and win richer bless
ings still
But while we are in harmony with
the times" he continued. eve are not
blind to the evils which cling to the great
trunk whicS. itself is sound
When combinations OF capital attempt
to arbitrarily raise prices from motives
of mere greed CT unJustIy reduce wages
merely to increase dividends, they must
be prevented, punished But apply rem
edy-do not administer a medicine of
death.

MR. BEVERIDGE PRESENTS
THE VIEWS OF HIS PARTY
Sounds Keynote of the Republican Congress
sional Campaign at Indianapolis.
E TRUST PROBLEM DISCUSSED AT LENGTH
Declares Trade Combinations Natural and Reasonable Out
come of Conditons--ReguIation, Not determination,
Should Be Applied to Great Corporations.

New York had to change cars five times;
today he goes through without a single
change. Or take railway employment
throughout the whole Republic In 1890
less than 750 coo, men were employed by
American railways, receiving little over
S4O0, geo, 060 in salaries and wages every
year In 1900 nearly 100000 men were
employed by railroads, and were paid
nearly $3.50 000, coo every year This in
crease was not caused by new railways,
because today there are nearly 800, 600
more men employed by railways than were
employed in 1887, and are paid nearly
SI2O, GOO, 600 more every year than they
were paid in 1897; and since then not
enough new railways have been built to
employ in operation Il, 600 men.

Regulation Needed,
Not determination.

The remedies to be applied, said the
Senator. were enforcement of the present
laws and the enactment of new laws reg
uiating trusts He heartily favored Pres
ident Roosevelt's plan for national super
vision of trusts, and declared that with
this end in view the party was already
providing in the establishment Of a De-
partment of Commerce
One Of the great problems of the hour,
said Mr. Beverage, was TO find markets in
which to sell the surplus of American
products One market vas right at our
dOors-Cuba. Under Spanish rule Cuba
had bought S68, COG, 900 werth OF the worlds
products annually; Amerieanized Cuba
would increase that figure TO 600 ,G0O. 600
It was the idea OF the Republican party
that Cuba should spend that 1900, 600 600 in
the United States Such vas the meaning
OF Cuban reciprocity.
What is the uext step which practical
thought suggests for preventing the evils
of modern combination OF capital and
labOr?" he asked. 1T is clear that we
cannot destroy them But we must pre-
vent their frauds, chain their violence.
and, as the President Of the United States
has said, 'muzzle their greed just as we
do with evil msu- method must be
found to supervise their operations, to
give the people Information OF their pur-
poses and condition IT must be a ma
tf0naI method; for the great twentieth
century combinations OF capital operate
throughout the nation In the Republics
internal trade State lines have been abOI-
ished; and commerce IS hardly conscious
even of the confines of countries. For
this national supervision of national in
tustries the Republican party is this very
hour providing. President Roosevelt has
recommends and Congress is constructing
a Department OF Commerce which will
finally supervise every trust that does
business throughout the nation 1t will
gather reliable statistics. lay before Con-
gress the facts, inform the people of real
conditions; take out Of discussion all i'm
agination, faIsehood, conjecture. Is not
this the reasonable way of proceeding
with this mighty problem? Is it not the
method q business man OF farmer would
apply to his own affairs? Is 1t not better
to search out with Reasons light the weak
places and the dark than TO apply the
torch of destruction to the whole fabric
Of our industry? Conservative progress or
anuihilatiDg reacton-this is the alterna-
tive before the American people.

CLtIWANT FOR THE con RING.
Her story Is Far From Satisfact ory TO

ousy over the bar. with the vertebrR Of
the ring-swallower, and never before has
80 much silver passed across that lar.
The claimant is Mrs IAicie r. Alton Of
Putnam. Conn. She wrote To the Boston
GLOBE on Tuesday saving that she lost
,dding ring In 70 while bathing of Fishers
Island. Most Of her description Of the
missing article was, naturally, in a post
script. She said the ring was n plain fiat
haId and was inscribed Louis to Lucie."
Mrs. Alton d-puized a correspondent
of the Boston paper To get the ring for her.
He found Henry throwing dice with patrons
and showed him the letter to the Globe
Henry skinned II over, incidentally throw
ing pair II fives. Then he asked the
correspondent what he'd have, threw
another five. and remarked d that Mrs Alton
seemed 10 have married eight or ten years
too early. She also got the wrong man,
Henry said. This Loo -i-s' spells his with

the drinks were on the patrons.
