When we started on our trip to

the Impressions of our trip for the

The subject is too big for us. 1t
is a country of wonderful possibili,

a lucious apple and we have only
taken the pairing from one end. Its
surface has only been scratched in
spots, yet the results are almost in
credible. Its lumber resources are
great. Its waters TEEN with fish
sufficient to feed the armies of the
world. 1t contains fine marble
enough to build capital for every
county, state, and nation in the
universe. Its gold in quartz veins
and placer surfaces would pay off
the national debts of christendom,
and there is copper sufficient to
sheathe the hulls of the merchant
marine and navies of the world
1t is great country.

corporation, the commodity Is
trusted and a trust is created, and
its creators, as a general rule, are
producers and not consumers, and
the greater the consumption of the
commodity, the greater are the
profits of the trust, and even though
each individual contributes but a
small profit the aggregate is i'm
mense.
Shrewd men have discovered
that it is better to extort five cents
each from a thousand men than it
is fifty dollars from one, and there
is much less danger of the victims
squealing. The invulnerability of
trusts lies in the wide diversity of
their extortion, and the COM
psratively small amount extorted
from each. The larceny is petit
individually, but grand collectively.
While, practically speaking, all
trusts are corporations, all corpora
tons are not trusts. There are
benevolent corporations, but there
never was and never will be a
benevolent trust. The idea OF
benevolence in connection with a
trust is as ridiculous as religion
connected with a gambling den.
There never was and never will be,
trust organized that took into
consideration the rights of the
people. Corporations are sometimes
brought into existence for the
purpose of creating competition;
trusts are always formed for the pur-
pose of eliminating competition.
The only object in view, in
the creation of trust, is the
benefit of it's creators. Therefore
lawmakers can set themselves to
the task of remedying the evils
that arise from their existence with
out any compunctions of conscience.
Only those who take into considera-
ton the rights of others are en-
titled to a consideration of their
own.
Corporations are absolutely es-
sential to civilization. Much of
our advancement and high state of
material development is due to
their existence. A man who cries
out against corporations simply
because they are corporations, is a
blatant demagogue. He is seeking
for place by playing on the preiu-
dice of the people instead of their
judgment. When prejudice selects
an official he is more dangerous to
the public welfare than a plain
rogue. A rascal will only plumber
the public funds while the peoples
most sacred heritages, life and
liberty, have many times been
sacrificed on the altar of prejudice.
1t is only when corporation be-
comes a trust or partakes of the
nature of trust that it in any way
menaces the public. 1t would be
impossible in our present state of
civilization to get along without
corporations, but the world would
be immensely improved if there
were not single trust in existence.
1t is the plain duty of lawmakers to
stringently regulate all corporations
to prevent the constantly increasing
tendency to transform them into
trusts.
A considerable portion of our
officials and lawmakers hold to the
opinion that they have no authority
in their legislative capacity to psss
laws, regulating in any way the
manner in which an individual, a
partnership or corporation shall
manage or conduct it's business.
There is business and business.

TRUSTS.
mo. y


There is perhaps no subject that
during the last ten years has been
more widely and less intelligently
discussed on the stump, through
the press, and in the halls of legisla-
ton, than trusts. Volumes have
been written on the subject. Emf
nent men have exploited their
merits and dement's from the plat
form; yet the evils arising from
them have not been clearly set
forth, so that plain, everyday folks
can understand them, nor has there
been any really successful action
taken to protect the people from
their constantly increasing encroach'
ments.
What is a trust, and what is the
purpose of its formation We will
not attempt a technical definition.
We will give it in simple form.
A trust is a vast aggregation of
capital controlled by an individual,
partnership, or corporation, that
seeks the monopolistic control OF
some product or business fol-
the profit there is in it. An
individual or a partnership can
create trust as we'll as corpora.
ton, but as the amount Of capital
necessary to operate one is so great
the usual method of formation is
to first form a corporation. So
for all practical purposes my
definition may read: A trust is a
corporation that seeks the monopo.
listic control of some product o,
business, for the profit there is
in it. Monopoly is the distinguish
ing feature of all trusts.
The people can be divided into
three classes:
l. Producers,
2. Dealers,
3. Consumers.
Producers are divided into two
classes:
/. Producers of raw material,
2. Producers of finished articles,
usually termed manufacturers.
We use the term in it's widest
sense, meaning both or either.
Strictly speaking every man is a
producer, dealer, and consumer,
but if a man produces more than
he consumes he is termed a
producer. If he consumes more
than he produces, a consumer. II
he devoted his attention to buying
and selling of commodities produced
by others, he Is known as a dealer.
The active production, buying and
selling and consuming of com.
modities, constitutes prosperity.
Let stagnation invade any one OF
these to any great extent and a
panic ensues. There is nothing
new in these statements. The
science of presenting proposition
does not consist of declaring new
truths, for there are no new thruths,
but in calling the attention of the
people to facts they already know.
If political proposition, or any
other, will not demonstrate itself
to one of ordinary judgment, it
ought to be instantaneously re.
jected.
Every commodity when it reaches
the hands of the consumer, has
passed through three stages OF
operations:
/. Production,
2. transportation,
3. Sale.
If absolute control of one or more
of the instrumentalities by which
any one of these stages or opera
tions are performed is secured by

mission of lawmaking power, and
business that cannot. If one desires
to buy a farm, or 60 into partner
ship with:his neighbor and set up a
store, he don't have to 60 to the
legislature or any officials created
by it, for permission SO to do. 1t
is individual business, his own
offspring, and so long as he runs it
} with due regard to the rights and
privileges of other individual bust
ness he can conduct it in any way
or manner he may see fit, and
neither the public nor its representa-
tives have any right to interfere
with his methods. TO do so would
be an unwarranted infringement on
individual liberty, which is the
foundation stone upon which our
government is builded. The public
has not bestowed upon. him any
privileges that it has not bestowed
on every other citizen and so it has
acquired no right of control, but
when the law grants special priv
leges, it retains special rights.
The authority by which his business
was established is one inherent in
and TO individual citizenship. But
if he desire to combine with others
and form corporation to perform
certain business transactions, they
must have a charter which auth
orizes them to do so. 1t may also
be necessary for them to secure a
franchise. TO do this they must
go to the lawmakers, or what
amounts to the same thing, the
legal authority created by them.
Thus, to certain extent, they 60
into partnership with the public.
1t is not purely an individual
business but joint one, and as all
partners have a voice in the control
of joint business to the extent of
their interests, the public, through
their representatives have q right
to exercise control oyer corporations
to the ertent of their interests IN the
same.
No matter what business a
corporation engages in it must be
governed by the limitations con-
tanned in it's charter. The power
that has the right to grant llmita-
tions cannot be limited and the
power of granting carries with it
the right to revoke the same as the
power to make law carries with it
the right of repeal.
Parties that must apply to the
duly constituted legal authorities
for the right to do business, must
submit to the limitations imposed
by law. They must do business
according to their charter or not at
all. A charter or franchise is a gift
or sale of certain privileges belong
ing to all the people by their
representatives TO corporation and
the seller always has the right to
prescribe the terms of sale and the
giver the conditions of bequest and
if the buyer or receiver does not
desire to comply with the terms,
there is no way of compelling him
to do SO. Whenever parties must
apply either directly or indirectly,
to the legal authorities for any form
of permission to do business, these
authorities have the right and power
to condition such Emission or au-
thority in such manner As they deem
expedient to best protect the
interests of the public. They not
only possess this power but it is
their bounden duty to exercise it.
If they do not do so it is because
they have been cajoled BY smooth
tongued representatives of corporate
interests, many of whom are able to

George Frisbie Hoar, senior
senator from Massachusetts, who
died recently, had a continuous
public service of over fifty years.
He was one of the purest of onr
public servants. One who always
regarded public office as public
trust. One who recognized no
guide in public matters save his
own conscience. One that ''Never
