Hattiesburg daily news. (Hattiesburg, Miss.) 1907-1908, 1907-10-24

Hattiesburgs postoffice takes third
place among Mississippi cities in the
volume of its mail matter and in cash
receipts. Jackson being the state
capital and little larger than any
other Mississippi city was expected
to lead. Vicksburg comes second with
Hattiesburg close third, and Me-
ridian takes fourth place. Five years
ago few people suspicioned that Hat
tiesburg would so soon become the
third city of Mississippi, and there
are still those who doubt the asser.
ton that this marvellous, magic me-
tropolis of South Mississippi is des-
tined to take first rank before the cen,
sus of 1910. You can bet your money
on Hattiesburg.

The Proposed Conference
of Legislators

1t is earnestly hoped that the con-
ference of members of the next leg
islature as proposed by Hon. Theo.
Bilbo, will materialize. Aside from
the fact that South Mississippi, ow-
ing to its growth and prosperity, has
several lawful claims, it is highly de-
sirable that an understanding should
be reached about a safe and sane
policy concerning railroads and other
corporations.
Frantic and hysteric utterances
have led several states to take up
line of action which they are sure
to regret. Illegal acts, whether from
railroads or legislatures. intended
to restrict or interfere with the legal
pursuit of trade and its promoter,
transportation, are sure to upset bust
ness and to lead to distress.
Imitation by itself is always to be
deprecated because it obstructs origi-
nality that is the very principle of
progress. To draw up laws, simply
because other states have done SO, is
silly. Railroad batting has grown
into a fashion or fad to which
South Mississippi is strongly op-
posed. What would Hattiesburg be
without its railroads? There are
men living in this community who
remember that timberland sold for
ten cents an acre and went a-begging
at that price. Do we want a return
of such conditions? Those who do
so will obtain their wish by destroy
ing the means whereby actual condi-
lions were created; but they should
remember that capital, once driven
away, will be slow to return.
The legislature had best leave the
railroads alone. 1t is exceedingly
doubtful if majority can be found
able to discuss intelligently the prin-
ciples covering the operation of such
roads. If no intelligent discussion is
possible, the members will but ex-
pose their ignorance, which is no
great recommendation for reelection.

Hartman while contending for the
management of the Illinois Central
with Stuyvesant Fish, declared that
he had very important meeting on
Monday yesterday morning in New
York. Hartman had the use of
Standard Oil capital, and he and
John d. Rockefeller are the two prin-
cipal leaders in the financial juggling
which has incurred the popular aver
sion. These facts point to a deter
mined plot which will fail owing to
the prosperity of the agricultural Sec
lions.

The Tariff and the Trusts

1t has been asserted so often THE
Tariff is The Mother of Trusts" that
1t is generally believed. 1t is known
that if there was no duty on steel
rails, the Steel Trust would be forced
to compete with British and Belgian
manufacturers and that rails, now
selling at 500, could be purchased at
SIP. For this statement there is an
authority no less than Chas. M.
Schwab, the first President of the
billion dollar trust.
In this case the tariff did not create
the trust, but it is distinctly respon-
sible for its DISQUALIFICATION and
the consequent high prices maintain
ed by the trust. To get at the bot
tom of subject, let us investigate
what is trust.
When various manufacturers of
the same commodity combine to keep
up the price of commodity, a trust
is formed in fact. 1t becomes a trust
in law when the several factories are
bought up, often for a certain agreed
amount in cash and the balance in
stock of the corporation which is thus
formed. In this case the corporation
assumes the management of the sew
eral factories regulating the output
according to the demands of the mar
ket.
mus far there appears nothing
criminal in the combination, except
that it is created for the express
purpose of keeping up prices by pre-
venting the overstocking of the mar
ket. Criminality appears when such
trust temporarily lowers prices be-
low the cost of production for no
other purpose than to prevent lawful
competition by running manufacture
ers not In the trust.
In many cases, however, it is the
public and not the tariff which is d.
rectly responsible for the trust. The
big Four" packers of Chicago sell
meat in almost every community of
the United States. There is no Beef
Trust. that is the owners of the
packing houses have not incorpor-
ated; but the criminal element pre-
walls, although IT is extremely doubt
ful Il q law can be made to ,rohibit

Financial FIurries in the East

When Tom Lawson in his articles
on Frenzied Finance exposed The
System, that is the combination OF
large corporations to initiate or de-
press the stockmarket as the inter.
est of the capitalists required, he
mentioned H. H. Rogers and William
Rockefeller as the heads of the com.
bine. Good authority Henry Clews) /,
enormous sum of three billion dol
lars had been squeezed from water
ed stock, that is. overvalued stocks,
and observed that this depression
had caused no real loss.
On his last trip ending with the
visit to Nashville, the President de-
clared his intention to prosecute
criminals high or low. That he might
not be misunderstood, he reiterated
that he proposed the curbing of
criminal and illegal transactions of
great financiers. Prior to this repeti-
ton of his purpose, Wall Street and
the Stock Exchange were sitting on
the fence. Such trading as was re-
ported seemed for the purpose of
keeping up the game; but no sooner
has doubt given away to certainty or
financial crisis is precipitated.
These data. known to every news
paper reader, point to a determined
effort on the part of the threatened
capitalists to provoke a panic which
will discredit the President and his
policies. A few years ago the at
tempt would have succeeded but now
1t is doomed to failure. The only
losers win be the capitalists who pre-
cipitated the panic.
1t will be remembered that e. H.

Safety in Sanity

One of the best evidences we have
of the growing intelligence of our
people is the sane, common sense
they are displaying amidst the con-
ditions prevailing now and which
have existed for the past nine months.
This is easily understood when we
consider the educative influence of
the press. More people are reading
today than ever before in the history
of our country. The teachers of the
people, the country editors, are also
unquestionably of a much higher
class than in former years. This
class OF teachers are not possessed
of more native ability than their
predeceSsors, but the times demand
and obtain more pronounced ex-
preston Of sane and intelligent views
on questions of public movement.
There is beyond doubt great ad-
vantage Afforded the people by the
press, in the fact that news require
ments cause the presentation of
every side of each public question.
With intelligent Information to
guide them, the people can general
ly be trusted to do the right thing.
The columns of the Daily News have
been sacredly devoted to a faithful
presentation of the news, as news,
and in this manner it has contributed
to the public enlightenment on sub
jects of public moment. The Daily
News therefore rejoices in noting
that the people throughout the land
appear to be accepting the views of
the optimist rather than those of the
pessimist.
The editor of the Manufacturers
Record has doubtless done as much
as any other one man in the South
to direct attention to our inexhausti-
BILE and ever increasing sources of
native wealth. The Daily News takes
pleasure therefore in reproducing an
article taken from recent issue of
the Record on the subject Of existing
conditions. The fact that THE sun
still Shines has rFeviously been en-
Dhasizsd BY this aa26F;; and we now

butcher opens shop in Hattiesburg,
he buys his cattle, hogs, ETC., from
the neighboring farmers and thereby
saves the transportation of the stock
to Chicago and of the dressed pro-
duct from the stockyard to the local
market. He sells his goods at a liv-
ing profit, but Armour & Co., or Swift
& Co.. Immediately lower the price
of these articles below that asked
by the butcher,-and the public flock
to the Trust stores to benefit by the
reduction. In a few days or weeks,
the local butcher must close his shop
when the trust makes the people pay
for its temporary loss.
What has the tariff to do with this
condition of affairs? Nothing, be-
cause the United States produces all
the meat it can consume. The blame
rests entirely with the public II it
would leave Armour and Swift alone
and keep on patronizing the local
butcher, other shops would be opened
and competition would keep prices
down, and Ar9f r and Swift would
be compelleA withdraw In de-
manding l. = lorbidding the combina-
ton of the great packers, the public
gains nothing and admits that it
needs a guardian. This is the plain
logic of this case.
This simple illustration proves:
that the public is directly respon-
sible for the trusts affecting the
necessaries of life, viz, food, cloth
ing and shelter, and 2-that no law
can be drawn up to prevent combina-
tions, because such a law would in
terfere at once with personal liberty
and consequently will be declared
unconstitutional by any judge. After
all, the combination of capital and
it's effects are the result of a very
simple problem in arithmetic. If it
takes mefr to do a piece of work in
days, four times three men can do
it in one day. If the consumer de-
sires this particular job performed
in twelve days, one man should be
sufficient.
Trusts have been justly blamed for
the ruin of host of small competi-
tors, but how is the law going to
Interfere? John Wanamaker's huge
department store in Philadelphia has
caused the closing of hundreds of
small stores in the Quaker City. He
can buy in vast quantities and there
by secure lower prices or larger dis
counts and thus undersell his smaller
competitors. ! Is John Wanamaker to
blame, or is 1t the public which, at
tracted by the bargain counters,
flocks to his store in crowds and
keeps on emptying its shelves? What
law is going to stop Wanamaker's
buying and selling at reduced prices,
or to prevent the dear public from
buying where it can secure the great
est bargains? The Department Store
is Trust on small scale,-but it
has come to stay so long as our bust
ness principles prevail.
