WHAT ABOUT THE MERGER?

The Kansas City Journal says
that in his Fitchburg speech Presi-
dent Roosevelt "pointed out the
folly of the man who says destroy
the trust aud stated in clear and
succinct. English what ought to
be the exclusive aim Of all anti
trust measures and legislation,
that is not the destruction of the
trusts, but the destruction of trust
evils"
The republican platform of 1900
declared: We condemn all con-
spiracies and combinations intended
to restrict business and create mon
opoies, to limit production and to
control prices, and favor such leg
islation as will effectively restrain
and prevent all such abuses, pro-
tect and promote competition and
secure the rights of producers, la
borers and all who are engaged in
industry and commerce.
Isn't that promise that the
trusts will be destroyed
Trust evils are made possible
only by the creation of trusts and
the destruction of trust evils can
only be accomplished by the re-
moval Of the cause of those evils.
This does not mean any destruction
or attack upon Legitimate corpora
tons or business concerns. Men
who do not contemplate conspira
cies and combinations intended to
restrict business, men who do not
desire to create nonoplies, to limit
production or to control prices, do
not organize trusts. The trusts
are organized for the very purpose
of accomplishing the things which
were denounced by the republican
national platform of 1900; and the
only legislation that will effectively
restrain and "prevent all such
abuses, protect aud promote COM
petition and secure the rights of
producers, laborers and all who are
engaged in industry and commerce"
is legislation honestly and fear
lessly enforced-enforced in way
that strikes not feather blow at
the monopoly, the conspiracy and
the combination, but strikes rather
that telling blow that results in the
conspiracy's destruction.
If the destruction Of the trusts is
not to be aimed at by the intelli-
gent opponent of the trust sys'
tenn why did President Roosevelt
instruct his attorney general to
commence proceedings against the
proposed Nothern Pacific merger'
If it is not proper to destroy the
trusts, why is it proper to prevent
the creation of trustsl And if
"'n0t the destruction Of the trusts,
but the destruction Of trust evils
is the thing to be sought by the in
telligent man, why did not Presi-
dent Roosevelt permit the North
err Pacific merger to be accom-.
plished and then wait until the
evils of that trust showed them
selves before he struck the blow9
If Mr.. Roosevelt took the proper
position in his Fitchburg speech,
and if the Kansas City Journal is
correct, then Mr.. Roosevelt was in
error when he commenced pro-
ceedings against the proposed mer-
ger Of the Northern Pacific. Com

NAME THE GOOD ONES.

Oneof the mostardent champions
Of the trust in this country is the
Philadelphia Press, edited by a Re
publican and former member of
the cabinet of President Mckinley
and President Roosevelt. The Press
says:
"Whether they wish it or not,
the policy of the Democratic leaders
is tosmash the tariff, and that would
injure all trust alike, good or
evil, and all capital, whether con-
nected with trusts or acting indie
pendently. Indeed, tariff smash
ing would play directly into the
hands of trusts, for while the weak-
err corporations and business would
60 to the wall, the monopoly seek
ing concerns would be able to hold
out and eventually occupy the land
for good and all.
"The Democratic policy is de-
structive of every interest, no mat
ter how innocent. 1t is seeking to
carry the new Congress, and is in
vading Pennsylvania in the hope
of making gains which will carry
a majority in the House and will
send Democrat to the United
States Senate.
The country would be very much
obliged to the Philadelphia Press
if it would furnish the name Of at
least two or three Of the good trusts
that the Republican politician and
newspapers are constantly talking
about and for the welfare Of which
they manifest so much solicitude.
These conserns manage in some
way to,keep their names very much
under cover, and we are quite sure
the people would like to know them
and size them up, so to speak, be-
cause the popular idea is that good
trusts are entirely mythical, and
if they were not they would come
out into the open and let them
selves known.
We do not believe that even so
rampant defender of the protec-
tive tariff as the Philadelphia Press
will have the hardihood to claim
that Beef Trust, the Steel Trust,
the Tin Plate Trust, the Plate G lass
Trust, and the numerous other
that are absolute monopo-
lies aud have crushed out compe-
tition in certain lines of industry
are "good trusts" because the peo-
pie know by sad experience that
hey are not. Why pirate about
.hese good concerns without men,
Joining them and illustrating their
virtues and need Of protectioni
Hold them up to the public gaze so
hat we may see and know what
hey are. But this will not be done
or the "good trusts" are figments
II the imagination-the ghosts of
and have no existance
whatever save in the buncombe
ak of Republican politicians. The
aorfork Virginian- Pilot very cor
ectly says:
1.-THE truth of the business is
hat they who talk about good
rusts' talk nonsense, and they
now it. There is no such thing
s q good trust The trust is or
,anized to create an artificial price
or its products and to make ille-
itimate profits. It is organized /
pray, and does prey, in one way
r another, upon the public. The
act may be more apparent in one
ase than another, but it is there i
. every case, aud that is why Re- I
ublican organs and Republican
latforms stick to generalities aud .
void particulars I
This covers the case like q horse
lanket, and there is nothing to be
1ded to or taken from it.-Nfdtes.

THEIR BIGGEST YEAR
HAS BEEN 1902 FOR POST OFFICE
AND EXPRESS co.
AN INCREASE OF $4,000
EXPECTED TO BE SHOWN BY OFF,
CIAL FIGURES FOR POST OFFICE.

Would Have Been Much Larger but
for the Removal of the Plant Sys-
tenn Ohices-AdditionaI Men EN-
pIOyed for the Christmas Rush
VIII be Dismissed After Saturday.
Express Company Took on Its
Last Special Wagon Yesterday.
Its Christmas Business, Though
Largest in Its History, Was Han
died with UNUSUAL Despatch-In-
crense Attributed to Prosperous
Condition of Country.
The business of the post office and
of the express company may generally
be taken as a pretty fair index of
the commercial prosperity of a city
and if this be so Savannah has en-
joyed an exceptional growth and
prosperity during the past year.
In the post office, for instance, though
no official figures have been compiled
yet it is admitted that not only was
the Christmas business heavier than
ever before in the history of the of
flee but that the past year, as well,
has been, in all departments, the best
that the office has ever had.
1t is estimated that the business for
the year. now so nearly at an end,
has exceeded that of any former year
by at least $4,000, and this despite
the fact that the moving of the Plant
System offices cost the post Office about
$500 month. To handle the Christ
mas business of the office ID was neces-
sary not only to add three extra car
riers and two extra clerks. but also
to take men from the other depart
ments to help at the registry window
during the greatest rush. The extra
carriers and clerks will be dispensed
with after Saturday.
In the office of the Southern Ex-
press Company it is stated also that
this years business has been heavier
than that of any proceeding year. AS
it was anticipated, however, and pro-
visions made for the rush it was hand
led with despatch and without any in
conveniences whatever. In fact it was
handled so well that practically all of
the Christmas business was cleaned up
by Saturday night though to do this IT
had become necessary to add seven
extra clerks and a number of addi-
tional wagons. The last of these ex-
ira wagons was taken off yesterday.
Agent w. ]. Brown thinks the in
crease of business is due to the gene
raj prosperity of the country

UNDER A SPECIAL GUARD.
Between Two ManncIed Men, Dorsey
Delaney. Returned to Gang.


In the City Court yesterday. Judge
Norwood after adding two years and
a half to the sentence already hang
ing over Dorsey Delaney, the negro
crook who has recently sprung into
notOriety by having in a short time
effected his escape both from the chain
gang and the county Jail, ordered that
| he be chained between two other
prisoners, and escorted to the chain
gang by special guard.
Delaney has but recently been
brought back from Jacksonville, where
he was recaptured by Chief Deputy
Sheriff Sweeney, the story of his cap
ture being told in the Morning News.
He is known among the police as one
of the most desperate and fearless
criminals which they have ever had
to encounter and holds the distinction
of being one of the only prisoners who
ever effected an undetected escape from
the county Jail.
Since his return Delaney has taken
peculiar pleasure in his boast that
when the first opportunity presents it.
self he is going to break from the gang
again. On the occasion of his last eS-
cape, he was shot down by the guard
before he would halt. He was badly
wounded at that time. and has since.
until MS more recent escape, been con-
fined at the county Jail. At the time
of his first escape he had just begun
serving two one-year sentences.
He was tried on three charges yes
terday in the City Court, to all of
which he pleaded guilty with an in
difference that clearly showed that he
intended to make good his threat to
escape at the first opportunity for he
evinced no interest in the proceedings,
and paid little attention when the SEN
tence of the court was being pro-
nounced.
He was first tried on the charge of
having escaped from the gang, the oc-
casion being the time when he was
shot. On this charge he was given 10
months. A like sentence was imposed,
to be served at the expiration of his
previous sentence, on the charge of
breaking Jail. Six months more were
added to his long list of sentences on
an assault and battery charge, he
having badly beaten his paramour for
alleged unfaithfulness, directly after
his escape from the Jail.
1t is probable that Delaney will
spend the next five years with the
county forces, and that ere he again
gets his freedom. Pipemaker swamp,
the bette noir of every Knight of the
Stripes, will have been converted into
an arabic area. The officers will keep
their lamps burning for him, and it
is hardly probable that he will soon
again have an opportunity of turning
his trick.
