Bryan's Crude Reasoning.

Al example of Mr.. Bryan's reason
Ing is found in his statement that
when corporation controls 90 per
cent of the total product it supplies
forty millions of people with that prod
uct." There are, of course, specialties
which have limited market and are
usei by relatively small number of
the people of the United States. More
thar so per cent, and indeed even as
much as 100 per cent of the trade in
such articles may be in the control
OF a particular corporation. This NAV.
in fact, be relatively a small CORPORA.
ton. 1t may never have aspired to the.
unsavory renown of trust" But by
prosecuting its particular line with
fidelity and meeting satisfactorily a
limited want; or by reason of some
secret processes or advantage of expert
ence, 1t may control the trade in Civ.

concern controls the whole trade in
some useful byproduct which it has
found It advantageous to make, Is the
trade to be prohibited?

Governor BrOwerd of Florida.

During a fight for local option in
one of the counties of the state the
governor spoke as follows: Il have
been on the side of temperance ever
since was small boy. While it is
sad enough to tell about a gloomy
past, yet mine was such. When my
father came back from the war the
awful task of reconstruction stared
him in the face. He did not know
what to do. He fell to drinking like
many others. My mother, heart
broken over it all, in time Of great
gloom, committed suicide by shoot
ing herself with shot gun. My
father died a year later from pneu-
monia contracted while drinking. !
have madeup my mind to fight whis-
key wherever lean locate it. Liquor is
the greatest crime and curse of the
age," said the chief executive of one
of our commemorative.

exceptions to cover such cases, and Te
have learned that it is equally binding
as to what 1t oanfts''
If we could imagine such a crude
Prohibition to be enacted into law. and
to be regarded as valid, what would be
the effect? Mr.. Bryan, with his usual
readiness, suggests that the concern
may sell as much of its plants as are
not needed to produce the amount al
lowed by law. He speaks as though
every manufacturing concern had as
many fully equipped units of produc-
ton as would correspond to any given
percentage of trade which it might be
required to lop Off Plants are not so
easily dislnembered. Reduction in out
put means reduction in work, reduction
In the number of men employed and
curtailment of the efficiency of going
concern. Let us suppose a concern
which controls so per cent of a given
product-that Is to say, makes and
sells SS,0O0,00O In value out of a total
trade in the product amounting to $1O,-
its output to 100000 because only
100000 In value are made by others?
Then, if it could sell part of it's plant
on Mr.. Bryan's theory, what should 1t
sell? Should it sell off enough to re-
duce its capacity to S5,OOO,OG0. and
allow three ffths of its plant to remain
idle until others developed a capacity
for handling the other $5,OO0,O00?
Should it assume that the total trade
will increase and is not always to re-
main at 100000, and hence retain
a larger portion Of it's plant in idle
ness? Or suppose a concern controls
100 per cent of the trade in some arti-
cle what plants shall it retain? It
can produce nothing until others pro-
duce; but 1t may produce an amount
equal to the production Of others, and
it hopes the trade will grow What a
vision of business uncertainty and con.
fusion. of idle and impaired plants, Of
the ruin Of workingmen whose lives
have clustered around particular indus
tries and who depend upon their con-
tinued efficiency, is presented by this
fanciful remedy for the destruction of
| trusts!
Apart from this If the dissolution
were effected in the manner desired
and portions Of plants could be sold
and were sold as suggested, to whom
would the sale be made? Would it be
necessarily to foes or to those ambi-
tious to be competitors and anxious to
take advantage of it's plight?
This proposal In its utter disregard
of the facts of business, in it's substi
tuition Of the phantasies Of the imagin
alton for the realities of life, stamps
the Democratic platform with the fata
stamp of 1896. The commerce and in
dustry of this country, the interests OF
its wage earners and Of It's interdepend
ent masses, who must rely upon the
stability of business, cannot afford tt
give license to such vagaries.
In the solemnity with which thi:
proposal has been declared and the in
sistence with which il is advocated, W.
find an appropriate test of the capacity
of our opponents to deal wisely witt
the problems of the day. ,.-4 i.

The Chance to be Mayor.

The mayor of a city was called
upon to close or remove a saloon,
which was nearer the school than
allowed by law. Others interested
in keeping the saloon open urged the
mayor not to interfere with its bust
ness. After the mayor had listened
to the arguments on both sides, he
said to the principal, ''Send me half
a dozen of your brightest boys. III
listen to what they say
Six boys from ten to fifteen years
of age came to the mayors office.
In answer to his question each boy
gave some reason why he believed
the saloon ought to be taken away
till it came to the last one, a lad of
twelve. He looked the mayor square
ly in the eyes and gave this reason.
: THE school give me a chance to
be mayor some day; the saloon
doesn't. | think we boys ought to
be given all the show we can get to
be mayor"
The mayor laughed, and then said
my boy, you shall have a show to
be mayor. That saloon will have to
quit business at once"
