NOW FOR THE TRUSTS.

1
A contributor to the current number
Of the Forum Justly remarks that the
question which is really agltating the
people was almost entirely ignored by
Congress during the session Just ended.
| This is all the more remarkable since
the question OF prices upon the neces-
sarles Of life always will be one Of the
most potent factors in the shaping OF
politics.
As an illustration Of this fact, the
writer In the Forum refers to the pas
sage OF the so-called Mckinley tariff
bill. Long before that measure became
law, the manufacturers, certain Of
protection from foreign importation, In
creased the cost to the consumer OF
even the smallest articles Of household
use and wear; while, when the bill was
finally signed by the president, the rise
In prices was without precedent in time
OF peace. The result was a revolt on
the part Of the people" Similar condi-
lions exist now, he says. "The beef
trust has so increased the price Of beef
as TO make the use Of that food almost
impossible among the poorer classes.
Other articles Of necessity are also cost
ing more money than ever before. Not
only are trusts of national extent fas-
tenlng themselves upon the country, but
In every city and town the various ice
companies and other vendors of neces.
stiles are consolidating for the purpose
OF destroying all competition and leav-
ing the consumer with the alternative
OF paying an arbitrary exorbltant price
or Of doing without the desired article"
The conclusion Is natural. that unless
these conditions are remedied, there
VIII be another revolt among the people.
True enough the government has
taken the ball by the horns, and en-
gagged In tussie with the trusts. but |
this battle must be real, and not mere
ly spectacular The people viii not be-
leve that the laws against unlawful |
combinations are ineffective. They de-
mand that they be applied vigorously
and honestly.

Don't be sill

IL seems strange to read Of plans to
colonize New England, that motherland
Of American colonies. When one reads
Of New England and colonization one
involuntarlly thinks OF the Connecticut
Reserve and the work Of Manassas
Cutler. But there are plans afoot to
colonize New England. and the colon
lists are to come from Europe.
According to a special dispatch from
Boston to the Chicago Record Herald.
Mr. Marshall Field of Chicago was in
Boston few days since in conference
with Mr.. A. Stewart Appleton of New
York and London. The subject OF the
conference was a plan to colonze New
England with skilled workers from
abroad.
According to this dispatch, Mr. Apple

terprise, win circulate through Europe

agricultural and industrial resources
OF New England. This will be pub

uages. During the past two years he
has established emigration propaganda
In London, Paris Edinburgh. Dublin,
Berlin, Stockholm and other cities for
circulating millions Of copies OF pamph-
lets In the languages of the different
countries, and it is claimed that to his
effort is due to a large extent the enor-
nous influx Of over 100000 immigrants
in the last year.
The interest OF Mr. Field in the enter
prise arises from the fact that no mat

Nine-tenths of the ministerial life Of
some ministers is spent In maintaining
or attacking propositions that st. Paul
would not condescend to notice. When
the King OF heaven put a commission in
his hands, he was more interested in
its contents than in its seal. And when
one turns to those sublime epistles in
which he speaks with freedom and force
TO the church Of his own day, and so to
all churches and TO all ages, We do not
marvel that he shows some traces OF
irritation at mems confusing his work
with that OF an ecclesiastical halrlres-
ser or bootblack. He was not sent to
manicure souls, but to wake them from
the dead The gospel Is indeed great
message TO great souls--to souls that
are measured not by their environ
ments, but by their aspirations, their in
stincts, their possibilities.

The home is the natural feeder OF the
church. The children OF the covenant
may, in connection with the instruction
and training already Insisted on, right.
ly be expected TO develop into earnest
and active church workers. AS mat
ter of fact, at the present day, the
churches are being recruited chiefly
from the home and the Sabbath school.
This Is proper so far as II goes, though
extraordinary efforts should be put
forth to bring all homeless children into

homes which now are shrines OF world
