WILL NOT DISTURB PROGRESS.

The leading financial papers Of the
country do not regard the decision In
the Securities company case, should II
be affirmed by. the court OF last resort
as at all likely to disturb the progress
Of the country. One of them remarkt
that the decision does not mean the de-
Struction Of property interest. The
opinion of the court docs not destroy
one blade Of wheat along the line of the
Northern Pacific or the other railroads
involved; 1t does not hold up traffic, nor
does 1t put mercantile interests out Of
business. The roads affected ought to
be worth intrinsically as much as they
were before" 1t is urged that the eff
fects Of the decision are to be looked
for In the domain of speculative values.
Another paper observes that every
trust and railroad combine has been
put or its good behavior, even IL 1t has
not incurred the likelihood Of drastic
treatment at the hands of the law, and
that the consolidation movement engen-
dered by the events of the last few
years has been given a singing blow In
the face. but 1t sees no reason to appre-
bend any serious consequences to the
Legitimate business interests of the
country.
This seems to be the rational view to
take of the matter. OF course there
has been created a feeling OF uncer-
tainty in regard to railroad consolida-
lions and other combinations that are
amenable to the law, as 1t has been
construed. II this shall stand there will
doubtless be changes OF more or less i'm
p~ortance in their bearing upon financial,
Industrial and commercial conditions,
but the substantial business structure
of the country. while it may be a little
shaken, will not be overthrown and we
shall continue to make progress, with
a basis at least as sound and secure, If
not, far more so. than that we now
have.

TRADE wTrH THE ORIENT.
Mr.. hin Not the only Pebble on the
Pacific Beach.
Chicago Tribur

Chicago Tribune.
Mr. James ]. Hill said at the launching
OF his great vessel, Minnesota:
I'm order to develop our commerce with
the Orient ard meet the competition Of
nations, there must exist a power OF con-
troll that can collect and forward Il. But
now We are told that such power Is a
crime, and that he who exercises Il is a
criminal. l now here plead guilty to that
crime. whatever the penalty that may be
imposed"
Mr.. Hill is not reconciled yet to the de-
cision in the Northern Securities case. He
affects to believe that Il brands him as q
criminal because he is endeavoring to pro-
mote the M Of his country by Sc
curing for It a vast Asiatic trade. That
trade will be a benent to the United States,
and Mr.. Hills efforts to secure It by build
Ing big unsubsidized freighters are deserv-
ing of praise. But the trading instinct is
not so near dead among Americans that
Mr.. Hill and a few associates are the only
men who know how to develop trade with
the Orient and other parts of the earth, and
who must be given that ''power Of control"
which Mr.. Hill speaks Of.
The "untutored mind cannot perceive
why II is essential to the development Of
the trade with eastern Asia that the power
OF collecting and forwarding merchandise
shall be In q few hands, or how the work
could be simplihed by the organization Of
he Northern Securities company. TIL in
ference to be drawn from Mr.. Hills rea-
soning is that he would like to see the
power Of collecting and forwarding all
products intended for export in the handS
Of a few men who controlled absolutely the
consolidated transportation system Of the
country.
Mr.. Hill is an able man who has some
excellent ideas on the subject Of trade and
commerce. but he has no monopoly Of in
formation and Of ideas. Before he was
born there were Americans who knew how
to trade probably with Asia without hsv,
ing to depend on railroad combinations and
the suppression of railroad competition.
There are still Americans who know how
Il can be done.
