A PLEA FOR SOCIALISM.
A Correspondent Says It Alone Can
 Compete With the Trusts

Compete With the Trusts.
 Editor of the Waterbury Democrat.
 Dear Sir:-The absorption of tbe small dealers by the trust oct,Inus will never end under the present in- dustrial system. The small dealers position is practically the same as the workingman that is displaced by the machine; he has become a useless fac tor in the economic field, just like the shoemaker of primitive times was absorbed by the big factory. The idea of having the meat of the beef trust i'll their store houses and going back to ancient times of thirty years ago when local butchers dressed their own beef is retrogation. The cause that made the western beef displace the eastern has mot been removed. namely, our stone walls and sand hills are not productive of heavy and juicy meat like our western prairies; also competition will not allow 1t. Cattle that have to be fed five months in the year cannot be raised and sold as cheap as those that are fed only a few weeks before butchering. Hav- ing tried to show that economically the trusts cannot be stopped from ab- sorbing the small dealers, let us look at the political side of the question, the only salvation for all our econo- mic ills, a revolution will certainly come, not bloody one, but peaceful and intelligent political one, no blood shed only prejudices and selfshness laid aside. When will men realize that trusts are the natural product of the profit system? and as long as the system lasts trusts cannot be legisla- ted out of existence. If one man with one dollar can buy and sell to make profit, why can't the man with a thousand billions, if he can own one acre of land, why can't be own one thousand, if a thousand why not a million, if one million why not the earth? This may sound absurd to some of your readers, but it is actual ly taking place in some of our indus tries. Let us have one big trust. the peoples trust Let, the nation own all the means of production and dis
 tltiENltion, a cooperative common wealth or socialism. Abolish profit and you abolish trusts, poverty, ser yitude, prostitution and drunkenness. The ballot box is the remedy and the Socialist Party is the only party that { to abolish the present com petition to cooperative system.
 Yours, socialism in our day,

The Chinese indemnity.

WASHINGTON, July 31.-A report from Shanghai that the United States and Great Britain had abandoned their efforts to get the powers to agree to accept payment of China's indemnity in silver at the value of the silver tael prevailing when the indemnity proto- col became effective is pronounced on authority to be untrue so far as this government is concerned. Contrary to the report the United States is still in- sisting that the proper Interpretation of the protocol is that the then tael value should continue to be recognized for the entire period of payment. The tael then rated at TAP cents, and the protocol provided that payments should be made in gold with the tael recog- nized as being of that value. 1t Is es- timated that payment under the rule insisted upon by a majority of the powers will compel China to pay $70,- sO0,O00 more than the amount of totak indemnity fixed in the protocol

REV. MOTHER ST. JOSEPH.
Notre Dame Loses Another of Her
 Beloved Instructors.


 Rev. Mother St. Joseph Mary left to-day for New York on the 6:35 train. From there she will go to Montreal to receive her assignment to new mission.
 Mother St. Joseph labored in Wat erbury four years as teacher in the Academic Department As teacher no one possesses rarer qualities; hav- ing a strong, broad intellect, philoso- phic temperament, great ability to inn part, and a power to give herself wholly to her work with all the char acteristic devotedness of a Notre Dame teacher. To these qualities are united in her the gift of languages and a teaching facility to rhyme.
 Tn fine, her qualifications as teach CT and woman are only surpassed by those which grace her as friend. To all who knew her, Mother St Joseph was a friend, kind, sympathetic, true and unselfish; and as teacher and friend she leaves to Waterbury re- pembrance, hearty and loyal.
