The Commute sermon is a purely

dated 1864, occurs: Paid for an hour

A bank manager in charge of a
country branch was very good
sportsman, and extremely fond of
snipe shooting A customer of the
bank called in one day and asked him
to have days shooting, which he
accepted. The customer, standing with
the door OF the managers room half
open, said aloud, so that it should be
heard in the bank itself;
We'll, that's all right them"
Yes, that's all right" repeated the
manager, upon which the customer
stepped up 70 the counter and pre-
sented his check for $500, which was
promptly cashed, although his ac-
count was considerably overdrawn.

Remember the Pioneers.

It may be that some Of the younger
generation are inclined to forget the
debt they owe to the pioneers, and
even to scoff at their influence and
ideals. II this is true it is unfortunate,
and there is all the more reason for
the perpetuation of pioneer associa-
tions and the welding Of pioneer in
fluence. To belong to such an organ
ization is to be inscribed on a role OF

grandsons of these sturdy men and

and traditions and preserve them from

objects to production on a scale suffi-
GENTLY large to enable the producer
to utilize by-products and take advan-
tage of all the economies that large
production makes possible. 1t is just
here that the trust magnates attempt
to confuse the public mind, nj Mr..
Taft has unconsciously adopted their
language
Let the issue be made plain; let
the distinction be accurately drawn;
let the respective positions of the par
ties b. fully understood. The Demo
cratic party does not oppose all cor
porationS; on the contrary, it recog-
nizes that h corporation can rem
der an important service to the pub
lie. The Democratic party wants to
employ every fundamentally that
can be employed for the advancement
of The common good; but the Demo
cratic party draws the line at the pri-
vate monopoly, and declares that a
private monopoly can not be justified
on either economic or political
grounds. ~
From an economic standpoint, a
monopoly is Objectionable. The nom
ent a corporation secures a practical
monopoly in the production OF sale
of any article, certain evils appear
which outweigh any good than can
come from large production Or con
troll. Wherever private ~monopoies eX-
list, certain irresistible tendencies
manifest themselves. First, it raises
prices-this is the first thing thought
of for the increasing of profits. Then,
in proportion as it becomes the only
purchaser of the raw material, it re-
duces the price of the raw material,
and the producer of that raw material
haUino no other m riot nonCt annnnt
the price offered. In this way, too,
the profits of the corporation are in
creased. Third, a reduction in the
quality of the product affords an op-
p%ortunity for increasing profits.
Fourth, reduction in wages follows
wherever conditions will permit.
Competition protects the purchas
er, for when q number of Independent
producers stand ready to supply him
with what he needs, he can choose
between them and buy from the one

price. He is also protected il
quality because those who compete
the opportunity to sell to him
must show either advantage in price
or advantage in quality. Competition
protects the man who produces raw
material, for when there are a num-
Der of bidders for that which is be-
ing sold, lie can accept the highest
offered. Competition also helps
the ~wage-earner, for his skill is the
finished product which he offers upon
market, and where a number OF
industries are ~endeavor-
to secure the highest skill, the

Of obtaining a fair recompense; when

His recommendation embodies the
very idea which our plan now propos-
es to carry out. We want to make it
unlawful for a corporation to use the
instrumentalities Of interstate COM
merce for the carrying out of a mon
opolistic purpose. Surely no party can
consistently claim to be opposed to
private monopolies which will permit
the Interstate railroads to be used to
carry out the designs. of a monopoly,
or which will permit the interstate
telegraph lines to be used to increase
the power of a private monopoly; or,
to make the case stronger, no party
can consistently claim to be opposed
to the trusts which will allow the
mails of the United States to be US
ed by the trusts as a agency for the
determination of competition. Cong
ress has already exercised this power
to exterminate lotteries. Why not ex-
ercise it to make private m~onoyolies
impossible?
If it is conceded that congress has
the power to prevent the shipment of
goods from one state to another when
such shipment is a part of a conspir-
acy against trade and commerce then
the only question is as to the means
to be employed to prevent such ship
ment. The licsNse system presents an
easy way of regulating such corpora
lions as need federal regulation. The
law can prohibit the doing of a thing
and impose a penalty for the violat-
ion of the law, but experience has
shown that it is very difficult to gath
er up evidence from all sections of
