BEFORE THE TRUSTS.

Away back in the sos there was firm in an
Ohio town manufacturing one of the most success
full twine binders of the times and incidentally
making money for the members of the firm They
held broad patents covering about every intricate
portion of the machine. The concern was so sue
cessful that other manufacturers became jealous
and one after another they brought suit for in
frlngement of patents which they held. Of course,
these suits had to be defended in the courts, and
this litigation cost money. The outcome of the
matter was that the company was driven out of
business by more powerful competitors through a
system of continual litigation In every suit for
infringement of patent, so recollection runs, the
defendant victorious.
1t was the beginning of these lawsuits that
a number of employees of the same concern con-
ceived the idea of erecting rival factory and
building a machine after their own ideas, which
would be improvement on anything in the mar
ket They interested great many business men
and farmers in the project and finally organized
a company erected factory and built one machine
as an experiment. The machine worked perfectly,
and everybody connected with the enterprise was
jubilant Within a week, however, they were
called upon to defend al suit for infringement on
patents of concern in another state. They de
Tended and won the suit All was well once more,
but in short time another company brought sim
liar legal proceedings against them. The result
was the bankrupting of the company, and mort
gage plastered on a number of farms and business
houses The building stood idle for a number of
years but was finally converted into factory for
the manufacture of wheels.
These incidents show tp some extent how the in
dustrial development of our country tended to
centralize, even before thd monopostic theory had
become a fact The big manufacturing establish
ment harassed the small concern, in these cases
over patents, until the weaker had to give in and
yield to the stronger Wild was demanded. It was
rather crude way of Filling competition, but it
was very effective.
So while the nation lis trust ridden today, we
may congratulate OURSELVES that the trusts are not
much worse than the Zig fellows of twenty or
thirty years ago.

ONLY REFUSAL ON RECORD.

Chicago paper says that in the archives of the
Pennsylvania railroad there is letter, dated March
a. 1852 from President Buchanan, in which he
acknowledged the courtesy of free railroad tick
ct, but returned it with thanks to the Northern
Central railroad, explaining that he was opposed
to free railroad travel while other people had to
pay. Inasmuch as the reformers of today cannot
definitely decide who is the original anti-pass adj
vocate the publication of this letter of President
Buchanan is of more than passing interest.
When Mr.. Bryan returned to America after his
tour of the world the fact that he refused rail-
road pass was heralded far and wide by the daily
newspapers. 1t not unlawful at that time to
give or take passes, but it was becoming very I'M
popular with the people, and it has since become
unlawful But in 1859 passes were not even IN
popular, and the public man who rode free was
not considered a hireling of the railroad ready to
enact any legislation which the road should sug-
gest, all for transportation to and from his home.
In those days the railroads had not secured con
troll of the politicians They hadn't developed the
gentle art of watering stock or of rebating and
discriminating against or for certain places or in
dividuals. The free pass didn't look just like
square deal to Mr.. Buchanan, as it doesn't to any
body today. Evidently Mr.. Buchanan was nearly
half century ahead of his time Or perhaps we
are returning to the more chivalrous days proceed
ing the war.

in those to whom the power was delegated One
form of government would be as good as another
if those at the head looked out for their con-
stituents than they did for themselves. 1t seems
to be human nature for man to take advantage
of his fellows. That is the reason absolutism and
the landed aristocracy were done away with, and
that is the reason commercialism with its pluto
Gratis will be overthrow. The people are sure to
retake the citadel and just as sure to give it away
again The next step in the evolution of govern
ment is for a government of the masses by the
masses. couple of hundred years hence it will
be discovered that the ideal government then has
been corrupted and another revolution will be in
order.
There is question that a readjustment of
economic conditions will come soon. Those who
cry out at the prospect protesting against the
inevitable. The readjustment may come as VIC
lent outburst from the people, but the wise conser
vative will endeavor to make the revolution sane,
peaceful and orderly.
Socialism is not the remedy we verify believe.
1t is too idealistic theory on the one hand and
too blood-thirsty one on the other. Popular SOW
ereignty-a government of the people. by the peo-
pie and for the peopIe-with aristocracy and pIu-
tocracy shorn of their powers and special privileges
is the demand of the people today.
Radical reformers would trod rough shod over
the rights of everybody. Conservative reformers
would devote themselves to smoothing over the diff
fcultes by conceding a few demands of the peo-
pie, but retaining most of the good things for them
selves. Christian reformers would establish the
kingdom of God on earth. We try to be consistent
We try to be Christian.
