BASEBALL STATISTICS
What the Fairfield Team Did During
Its Existence.

Much has been heard in the past few
days in regard 10 the Fairfield base
ball team disbanding, and various are
the reasons which have been assigned,
so little explanation at this time will
not seem out of place. The effort to
keep the team in the swim did not
fail because of lack OF admirers and
supporters. When Allen, Bushey. Con-
nors and Taylor left for Belfast to
keep their promise to the manager Of
the Belfast team. ii was understood
that if sufficient sums could be raised
they would return and play the rest
of the season for what they could
make. Enough money was readily
forthcoming. but after the remarkable
game they put up against Rockland,
Monday. the boys refused TO come back
unless this team would guarantee them
$3.50 per week and board. The man
agement did not feel that it would
care TO take the responsibility and
hence the result. Smith and Maroney
showed themselves energetic soliciting
agents. 1t was very much TO be re-
GREETED that the team could not have
kept up. for by their disarmament much
enjoyment is lost by every true lover
Of The sport in this town and the sur
rounding towns, for Waterville had
many who We're ready to contribute
for the support of the team for the
remainder of the season.
The members of the nine are now
scattered as follows: Bushey, Taylor
and Allen are playing with Belfast;
Maroney and McGovern are with Cam
den; Wallace and Sheridan are with

REPUBLICAN RALLY.
Hon. Victor 3. Dolliver Opens Cam
paisn With Rousing Speech.

The first Republican meeting Of the
campaign, and the only one which the
committee has thus far arranged, was
held, Wednesday evening, in Coburn hail.
Hon. s. J. Walton, who presided over tha
meeting, spoke a few words by way Of
introduction to the speech Of Hon. Victor
Z. Dolliver OF Iowa. the speaker of tkr
evening. referring briefly to the local is
sues created by the Socialist party and
the Democratic canvass for sheriff.
Mr.. Dolliver has never been before Il
Skowhegan audience up 10 this time. and
the hearty welcome he received and re
warm words of praise which have been
heard on all sides, testify to the apprecia-
ton which his remarks called forth. He
IS a thorough Republican in his convic-
tions, q fOrceful. magnetic and logical
speaker. and a master Of the language
The hall was well filled. an unusually
large number Of ladies being present, n
fact at which the speaker expressed hrs
satisfaction, because he knew that '-whcn
q large number of ladies listened to him
he knew that a portion of his audience
would understand everything he said
The newly organized Maccabbee Band
furnished music for the occasion and gave
entire satisfaction. The boys showed tina.

combination and takes some equivalent
of its value. The several firms then
become legally extinct, and one big
corporation is formed-just one big
firm out of the many.
The law could not interfere with
this STYLE OF organization. When sew
eral firms are banded together 10 con-
troll the market and drive out weaker
competitors the charge of "a conspiracy
could be maintained against them, put
when there was but one big corpor-
alton with the small firms as partners
or stockholders in il no charge OF con-
spiracy could be brought against them,
for the big corporation was a unit ana
no legally technical conspiracy couid
be Matched by a unit. Thus was the
common law lodged.
And out of this method has arisen
one of the great evils of the trusts.
Mr.. Littlefield cited Il case where Il
combination of this nature was being
Organized. The proprietors met the
managers of a small firm and wanted
to buy them out. The plant had cost
something like 100000 and was pay
ing dividends on this. but the lowest
nrice the promoter could get from the
owners was something like 100000.
The promoter knew this price was eX-
orbitant. but he needed the firm in the
combination and paid it, and the plant
that cost 100000 went into the COM
bination as being worth 100000. Mr..
Littlefeld cited another case where
plant that can be duplicated today for
500 600 is valued in the combination
AT 81. 100000. The trust or combination
has TO pay dividends on these fictitious
values. No wonder the price of beef
is nigh.
Mr.. Littlefield explained that what
is known as the publicity bill was
drawn TO prevent this very evil, and
he believed that ii would have done
so had it passed. for by making I'll
these facts public the people would
have known the real value and the
trust value of properties and would
have known where to make invest
ments safely.
After having successfully lodged the
common law the combinations are very
difficult to get at legally The Federal
government can reach them only
through the Interstate commerce law
and this applies only while the products
are in transit from one state to an
other. otherwise the combinations
are under the control of the laws OF
the states in which they are doing
business, and the Federal government
has no right TO NEEDLE with the state
laws and regulations. Here, accord
ing TO Mr.. Littlefield. the old states
right question hobs up again.
Under these conditions comes the
necessity of a constitutional amend
ment that will give weapon with
which to fight.

SOMETHING ABOUT TRUSTS.
Congressman Littlefield Shows How
They Evade the Law.

Congressman Littlefeld's explana-
tion of the trust situation as given in
his speech at the City hall Wednes-
day evening. was particularly clear
ana concise. He said that in study
ing the question he had found a case
where the supreme court of one Of
the Western states had made q ruling
on the question of combinations. In
this case il seemed that some of the
retail firms of the town had formed a
combination and had driven the re-
tailers out of business who had re-
fused to join them. One of these
brought suit for damages and obtained
them, the court claiming that under
the common law the members Of the
combination were conspirators and
liable for damages Mr.. Littlefieli
emphasized the fact that this decision
was rendered according to common
law. for this branch OF Law is recog-
niZed in nearly all of the states of the
Union. There are a few exceptions,
but it holds with the majority.
Therefore. such combinations could
be reached in nearly every state in the
Union by common law. The first
method of forming a combination OF
capital or trusts was to bind together
as many firms as was desired or need :
ed by an agreement, each firm retain
ing its individuality in the eombina-
ton. But the lawyers who did this
soon found that it was Illegal accord
| ing to the common law. and then de-
vised 4 new scheme According to
| this. which is the one now commonly
| used, each firm entering the combina-
ton turns over its property to the
