JUDGE PARKER ON TRUSTS.
HINTS At Time Coming of Government
Ownership Of NIonopOiies.
(F'rom the Kingston Daily Freeman of
February %, 1900

(From the Kingston Daily Freeman of
February p, 1900
Within the next few years there Will
arise questions of public policy, but
we must not take hold of them rashly.
There is a great deal of difference of
opinion in the commercial world
whether it is wise to have great COM
b,nations of capital i'll control Of the
business.
Some see in them great menace.
Others are of the opinion that they are
but the natural order of development
and that no great harm will be done.
1t is argued that such combinations
can only work successfully when they
get wages down to such a point that
not similar combination can be form
&C, to enter into competition. Compe-
tition is the life of business, but it was
long ago settled in England that
whatever tended to thwart the good
of the country or its people was IL
loyal The common law there became
the law here.
In an article by a laboring man.
which | read the other day, j was
struck by the ideas advanced. This
man reasons that in spite of all the
people can do, when you set a prin-
ciple in motion it will develop. In
business the fact that people are in
the same work causes competition. \
partnership took the place of the in
dividual. Later still. more capital was
Eeeded to reach a higher plane, and
the corporation found its place. Its
work was an aggregation of the work
of the individuals.
After a time men came to a still
higher state of perfection, still larger
capital and labor interests were need
ed, and there came into existence a
partnership of corporations known as
the trusts, and now we can't stop T.
1t has grown as naturally as business
required it. Eight or ten years ago
q man who undertook to support the
position that the Government could do
all the business of the country, or that
any business could be done under one
head would have been laughed out
Of the business world. 1t was thought
that no man had intellect enough to
do that, and SO it was idle to talk of
the possibilities of the future as Ed
ward Bellamy talked of the Govern
ment conducting all the business in
his book, Looking Backward" where
every man shared in the work of the
Government of which he was a distinct
part.
1t has recently been demonstrated
that the oil business could be and is
conducted by one man, at a less cost
per gallon than when there was COM
petition. 1t is the same with sugar,
ana it is soon to be demonstrated that
the steel business of the country can
be carried on under one man.
The business mus be conducted
cheaper SO as far as the consumer is
concerned, or else other combinations
of capital will be formed, and When
some party arises which will take the
position that the Government can do
the business for the people and do it
successfully, the people will have an

lief in this.
This year a contract has been let
by a municipality for a road to be
built underground. Ten years ago it
was supposed that no municipality had
this power but 1t has been seen that
it can be done. These questions which
grow out of public conditions are not
to be treated rashly, but with careful
thought. There will be for all of us
questions of interest, not only to our
selves but to our descendants, and
when the time comes for them to be
met they will be met with a careful
ness and sincerity looking always for
the greatest good to the greatest num-

Funeral of Alexander More.

At 10 o clock this morning all
that was mortal of Alexander More
was laid to rest in the cemetery
in this city. The funeral was a
large one, and attested the high
esteem in which the Diseased was
held by the people of Brownsville.
The Knights of Pytfias, of which
lodge he was an honored member,
marched to the cemetery in front
of the hearse, and led in the cere-
monies at the grave, the beautiful
ritual service of that order being
impressively delivered by ]. w.
Buchanan. After these ceremonies,
the Rev. Woodward, pastor of the
Episcopal church here. conducted
the funeral, using the solemn and
impressive funeral service OF that
church. The floral tributes were
many and beautiful among the
number being ore from Col. Uriah
Lott. as a token of brotherly sor-
row from the Frisco system, il the
shape of a large cross of white
roses.
Alex More is gone, but on
memory's tablets will ever linger
the image OF MIN who during a
life of only SO short years, lett his
impress upon the world, and cary
ed with willing hands a name hon
ored wherever he was known. In
all the walks Of life he was popular
with all classes, and his place no
man can fill. To the sorrowing
relatives and friends words of COM
fort are but poor solace for the ach-
ing hearts, and time alone, can
but partially heal the wound his
death has caused. May those left
behind feel that the Great Healer
can bind up the broken heart, and
that he notes even the sparrow s
fall.
