Under Mckinley

The resolution demanding or asking an
investigation into the causes of the removal
of Miss Rebecca J. Taylor was voted down
in the House Of Representatives. 1t ought
10 have been knOwn-and probably was
knowu-by its author that it would be.
That the Republican majority in Congress
would permit such a rotten humbug as the
Civil Service system to be exposed was not
for a moment to be thought Of.
However, if the rule laid down by Presi-
dent Mckinley was to be observed the lady
was entitled to a fair trial President Roose.

stroys it and the victim has no possible re-
dress. The law is violated and that is the
end Of it. But President McKinleys rule
never was at any time carried out either in
letter or spirit II was never observed in
the Treasury Department, and not a single
person ever removed by LYMAN J. Cage had
trial such as was contemplated by Presi.
dent McKinley's order. Men were removed
and after removal demanded trials They
were never allowed to do anything more
than ale answers. Such a thing as a trial
was never had. The drum-head court
martials, organized solely to convict were

made by the late Secretary Of the Treasury

The solution OF Trusts.

The New York Journal is undoubtedly
an able. enterprising, up-to-date paper, and
an earnest advocate of the rights of the
people. Nevertheless its editorials, which
are specially intended to teach the masses
to think correctly on social economic, and
political questions, reminds US Of Josh Bill
ings friend, who knew more things that
amt so than any man in the county"
It advises its readers to study seriously
the question Of trusts, and it forthwith
essays to shed light upon this perplexing
question after this fashion:
'The trust is a necessary development of
humanity's tendency toward organization,
concentration. and the simplifying Of in
dustry The first locomotive ever built was
a trust. II performed the work of a thousand
four-horse teams and deprived a thousand
drivers Of a livelihood.
If the trust is necessary development Of
humanity's tendency toward organization
ETC., how could the first locomotive be a
trust? Humanity's tendency toward organi
zation is wofully wanting in a locomotive,
whether il be the first or last one built,
There may be some resemblance between
the water in the boiler of the locomotive
and the water in the stock of the trust, but
that's about all.
To say that the FIRST locomotive deprived
four thousand horses and thousand drivers
Of livelihood is too absurd for discussion.
The railroad on which the first locomotive
run opened up new, boundless natural op-
portunities TO both man and beast. But the
climax of absurdity is capped by declaring
that 'the railroad trustis simply an exten-
sion Of the concentration Of labor, repre-.
sented in the building Of the FIRST locomo-
tive"
To define a Iust as a concentration of
labor and not Of capital is to show an utter
incapacity for logical thought
A trust is a combination of individuals,
with large aggregatious Of capital, enjoying
mouopoiistic privileges
One Of the most erroneous notions preva-
lent to-day is that combination is an evil.
It is held by some that combinations Of
wealthy men and the aggregations Of capital
if not prohibited by law, ought TO be re-
stricted and regulated. and that the law
allows too much freedom for corporate
combinations. Others contend that COM
petition is an evil and would have It regu-
lated BY law. These are obviously errone-
Gus views growing out Of economic fa1lacies.
Competition Is the natural order among
civilized people and immense benefits and
advantages to the whole community result
therefrom. And one of the benefits is the
fact that free and Unrestricted competition
results in combinations Of individuals and
consultations Of their capitals and abili-
ties. In this way enterprises can be under
taken which otherwise would be impossible
or at least impracticable; waste is prevented

mittee on rules resisted and blocked all his
efforts, 50 that between the two he was

highest business development is secured,
every advance in the arts and sciences be-
comes available and opportunity is fur
nished for The various kinds Of natural
ability
Legal prohibitions, restrictions, and the
granting of special privileges have ever
been connected with industrial develop
ment, which have given some men advau-
| tages and privileges which were denied 10
others. The evils of which we so loudly
complain are due to the restrictions created
and special privileges granted by law and
the true remedy for the evils will be found
in removing the restrictions and abolishing
the privileges
Whoever considers the trust profile M
must see that the existing evils do not arise
from the right Of men to combine either as
individuals or corporations, but do spring
from other causes. How is it possible for
any unjust advantage to be gained or special
privilege be granted by the mere right to
organize corporations under a general cor
poration law authorizing three or more men
to become a corporation and carry on busi-
ness in that capacity. A corporation own
ing and operating a line of steamships or
canal boats, no matter how extensive, could
not hx arbitrary and excessive rates or
otherwise control transportation, so long as
the same number of other men had the
same privilege. On the other hand an in
dividual, company, or corporation that has
privileges which are denied to others is in
a position largely TO fix rates and control
transportion. It is the special privilege
conferred by law which confers the advaut-
| age on one and excludes others which pro-
duces the evil of extortionate rates.
The trust is an important question, but
its solution will be found in the GLOBE and
not in the New York Journal

Hanna the Croker of Ohio Politics.


Recent political developments In Ohio
exhibit striking analogy between the me-
thods of Hanna of that state and Richard
Croker Of Tsmmauy and Vantage.
The junior Ohio Senator insists that an
enemy Of Congressman Burton shall manage
that gentleman's coming campaign for re-
election. Is not this brutal bossism, pure
and simple?
In the local elections at Cleveland, where
Hanna is best known, it being his home,
his slate is almost invariably showed un.
der If Ohio will submit to the rule Of
Croker, it is yet to be proven.
The boss is advocating the Panama Canal
route, because he knows the difficulties of
obtaining legal possession Of that route are
insafferable, aud that it is the proper me-
thod Of defeating all canal legislation and
thus continuing the extortions Of transcon-
tiuental railroads.
He says the remainder of his active
career is to be devoted to the harmonizing
of capital and labor, but to do this he will
have to forget the methods by which hm-
self and Rockefeller, ,Havemeyer, Jay Gould,
and other nilliouaires piled up their mill
ions. The only way 10 harmonize capital
and labor is to give labor its due share Of
wealth produced by their joint efforts.
Some Of the millions that have heretofore
been rolling in to the capitalists will have
to be diverted in the direction Of labor, but
none of Hanua's activities in the Senate,
where he could institute effective proceed.
ings looking to the benevolent end he pro-
fesses, indicate that his professions are
sincere.
If he were making the effort he pretends,
we could wish him nothing but God speed,
but it is to be feared that the balm that will
heal the breach between capital and labor
will have to be distilled by an alchemist
verv, very, different from Hanna
Neither his antecedents nor his present
actions give any hope of a consummation 50
devoutly to be wished.
If there is anything he has learned and
constantly practiced it IS how to tap labor
to his own profit. If such an old dog learns
such a radically new trick, it will be
miraculous and we look not for miracles in
these days OF purely business statesman
