U. P. ANSWERS
On Matter of Rebates to Certain
Elevators.

Washington, May 22--The Union Pa
cific railroad today filed with the inter
state commerce commission its answer
to the order of the commission institute
ing an investigation of the alleged re-
bates of the Union Pacific to elevators.
The Union Pacific admits that it has
an agreement with the Midland Ele-
vator company at Kansas City and the
Omaha Elevator company at Council
Bluffs, both companies being represen-
tatives of Peavey & Co. under the
terms of which agreements the Union
Pacific pays IL cents per leo pounds for
receiving. transfer and handling all
grain which passes through these ele-
va tors
The Union Pacific says these elsva-
tors are absolutely necessary to the
economical and profitable har<,ling OF
building and operating the elevators it
Peavey concern to construct and OPP
crate them and furnish the necessary
facilities for handling all grain ship
ped over and consigned to the Union
Pacific lines.
paid is excessive or greater than similar
charges generally imposed for like services
nor that it subjected other grain shippers
to unjust discrimination nor that 1t dis
eliminates in favor of the Peavey com
pany nor enables the latter to obtain
transportation Of their grain at net rates
or charges less than 4he regular tariffs
is not being violated and asks that the
proceedings be dismissed.

Troubles OF the trusts.
Grand Rapids Press.
One by one the trusts are learning
tnat where they rely largely on mon
opoly of the market for success their
pathway is rugged and rocky. No soon
eF are they fairly under way than COM
peutors spring up, and usually the Of
ncers adopt the policy of buying up the
new plants at good round prices. The
whisky trust went through this expert
ence, and the president Of the reOrgan-
lied corporation now says Of the at
tempt to establish a monopoly that il is
policy which generally leads to the
blishment of new competitive plants
which the large company necessarily is
compelled to purchase at high figures
Ia order to obtain the desired monopoly.
This piles up increase upon increase of
nxed charges and capitalization, and
raises doubt as to future ability to pay
dividends, and in many cases even to
pay fixed charges The attempt prov
ed too much for the whisky trust as or
lginally organized, and many other am
bilious enterprises can tell the same
tale.
Notwithstanding this general expert
ehces however. the steel trust, the big
gest and all things considered, the most
successful of them ali, seems to be pur-
suing the same policy. The statistics Of
steel production show that in 1901 the
trust produced 67.4 per cent of the en-
produced but 645 per cent Compete
ton has been eating into the business
Of even this giant company, and the Of
hclals have succumbed to the tempta-
ton which has proved so disastrous 10
the whisky and other concerns. They
are buying up such competing plants as
the Union Steel company at prices
which seem eXorbitant and are seeking
to establish the trust as a monopoly.
IT has been claimed in every combi-
nation that the consolidated company
could effect great savings in the cost of
operation and the marketing of the fin
ished product, being enabled in that
way to distance all competitors. If that
claim is true it seems peculiar that all
Of the trusts take so much pains 10
smother competition by the absorption
of new plants The fact seems to be
that whether necessarily so or not the
big combinations are equally as expen-
siVe to operate as the smaller concerns,
and that as a matter of fact their sole
hope OF controlling the market lies in
their ability to create a monopoly. What
the attempt to do that results in Is
shown in the history of the whisky
trust above alluded to. Evidently the
commercial evolution resulting IN the
trusts is still far from complete and the
trusts themselves must pass through
several stages before their real place in
the economy of industry is fully estab-
lished.

sense of humiliation of cases in which
dignitaries of the church. in historic
parish churches, lend themselves in a
way that implies sanction of the mar
riage of divorced persons as well as per-
sons of most questionable character. It
is one thing to allow to every man and
woman the rites of the church to which
they are entitled, it is quite another for
a bishop and historic parish church
to aid in giving distinction to people
whose lives would call for unobstrusive
functions. It is one thing to claim rights
as citizens of the state: it is quite an
other to demand the positive approba-
ton and blessing of the church for a
practice which at best is founded uDon
a doubtful Interpretation of the Scrip
lures and which the experience of hui
man society is more and more demon
strating to be inimical to its highest in
teFests.
For these reason the position taken by
the Archbishop of Canterbury and by
the Bishop of London is a splendid note
from the English church, and the re-
Spouse here in America is no less in
spring. In behalf of the Christian fam
lily and under the guidance of Him VINO
founded it, we may well look uD and
move forward.-The Churchman.

GET BACK AT GERMANY.
A Move to Exclude Her Wines.
on Account of Authorizations.

Washington, May 22.-The state de-
partment is cooperating with the agrf-
cultural and treasury departments to
carry out the terms Of the anti-adul-
iteration clause of the agricultural ap-
preparation act passed by the last con-
gress and it will not be surprising if
the results are of exceeding importance
and il view something akin TO retalia-
tiQn on part of European countries. The
test case. the foundation for which has
been laid in the agricultural and treas
ury departments will be based upon
importations of adulterated German
Rhine wines. The state department
has received from the agricultural de
partment request for a copy of the
proceedings of the case of one of the
largest wine makers in Nierstein, who
has been tried in Germany for adult
tering wine. A great deal of this wine
and treasury departments wish to Sc
cure the legal evidence upon which it
may be excluded.
The state department therefore mas
transmitted to the United States consul At
Mayence a request for copy of the Iec-
of the Standardization act that the Ger
man law does not prevent lndtscr1mirate
and wholesale adulteration of foods and
wines provided they are not to be con-
sumed in Germany and verT careful m
CURRY is to be made into the proof of this
statement though it must be said that the
OFFICIALS here place little credence in 1t. If.
however it should be well founded, based
upon the consufs report, considerable adj
ditions will be male to the list Of forbid
den iUDCrfS.
