his trust names the price Oh coal IN
the chief markets in each month, die
tating the time Of its removal, refusing
to sell except through its one accred-
tied agent, and permitting him to
name his own price for delivering
coal. In the cost of delivery is the
agents profit.
A trust of this nature is trust of
the postomoe stamp variety. 1t for
tunately does not extend to Alabama,
which is a soft coal State, but it can
be viewed from here as an illustration
of trust when a trust dares be what
it desires to be. When a trust be-
comes absolute and sure of it's own
ground it simply but sternly refuses
to arbitrate. 1t prefers to dictate.
This trust is impregnable. The
tariff keeps off all foreign Goals; the
Republican party stands behind it on
| account of its campaign subscriptions,
and 1t snaps its fingers at strikes be-
cause it can readily recoup all losses
from consumers. Not more than six
men in New York control the Temple
iron Company. Not more than six con-
troll the beef trust. Between the two
trusts that control the meat and fuel
of many States the people may begin
to see what the trusts and the tariff
really mean. They are getting their
eyes open against 1904.

WILL CREATE DIVISIONS

From the Bessemer Workman.
The Democrats of Alabama named the
executive committee. and to these same
Democrats must each and every member
answer for his action; and If the wishes
of the people are overridden upon whose
head will the odlum fall? By declaring for
convention, the executive com mittee
will take the initiative In creating a divi-
sion In the party that will be far-reaching
In its effects and prove disastrous at the
very time that all should unite and en-
deavor to give a full, free and honest
expression of sentiment, and work for
pure ballot and a fair count.
