NEW YORK. Feb. 15.-More thar
Waterbury evening Democrat., 1908-02-15

In previous panics the trusts had not
 attained such power over the markets ! as they now possess and prices were left to adjust themselves in accord ance with the fluctuations of supply
 and demand, says Banker Clews. While this may have caused occasional
 dissatisfaction, it was in the main beneficial, because it was the true
 course for readjustment and afforded
 buyers a chance of exercising indi- vidual judgment Now, conditions are completely changed, and prices of many commodities are held at Or near the old figure regardless of ordinary market conditions and the necessity for commercial as well as financial
 liquidation. AS a result of the panic,
 there has been sharp contraction in
 the demand for many articles. New enterprises have been checked; many hands are out of employment and consumption has consequently de- clined quite sharply. Under natural conditions prices would be reduced at such times in order to revive demand and encourage resumption of enter prise through diminished costs of pro- duction. To-day, however, the full resumption of business activity is positively retarded by the obstinate re- fusal of the trusts, whether of capital or of labor, to adjust themselves to the changed conditions. For the first time in our history, we are seeing how the trust system works under adver- sity. Trust managers have acquired great power which, if used indiscreet- ly and to resist the natural action and reaction of economic forces will be sure to invite further disaster sooner or later If used discreetly, it would permit gradual decline; and in indus tries where competitive conditions still remain, prices have already been lowered considerably. There are, however, other industries, notably steel, in which prices are held at old figures in spite of decreased costs of production. This means that many mills are idle and many laborers out of employment that otherwise would be actively engaged were prices re- duced to a lower level: all because of- ficials, for reasons best known to themselves, refuse to recognize the change in fundamental conditions.

Speaking of the national outlook from a republican standpoint, one writer says that the favorite sons con- trol their own states with the follow ing delegates: Knox, Pennsylvania, 6S, New Jersey, 24, Delaware 6, total 9S: Hughes, New York, IS: Cannon, Illinois, 54: Fairbanks, Indiana, 30; La Toilette, Wisconsin, 26, total of 2s6. As there are 992 delegates to the republican national convention, it will require 497 for a majority and the anti-Taft managers will need 211 more votes than those of the state above enumerated to nominate some other candidate. Some of these favorite sons will get all or some of the dele gates from other states. but there is nothing certain about it yet. United States Senator Murray Crane of Mas sachusetts is the manager of the Knox boom and is credited with having in- duced Governor Hughes to announce himself as a candidate so as to prevent President Roosevelt from controlling the delegates from New York. Wheth- CT Senator Crane can control the dele gates from his own state is a problem not yet settled. Senator Lodge is master of the Massachusetts republi- can machine and although Senator Crane is more popular with the voters, the machine is perhaps too powerful to be defeated. So Massachusetts is q doubtful quantity just yet.
