NEW ECONOMIC THEORIES.

AZ periods OF political excitement
and disturbances have always brought
to the surface demagogues and quack
reformers, so have times OF business
and financial troubles marked the ad.
vent OF economical heresies. This
last panic and the subsequent slow
recovery have only brought a repeti.
ton Of this old experience.
Gov Hadley Of Missouri. a well.
meaning man. We notice. from press
reports. advocates regulation OF prices
by State commissions TO counteract
the regulation Of prices by trusts OF
mOnOpolies. The Governor seems 20
be impressed with the conviction that
the prosecution OF monOpolistic com.
binations Is confronted with too many
difficulties, and that IL would be dan
gerOus 20 extirpate the trusts. There
fore the Governor believes that these
trusts can be regulated best by Civ.
ing the State power 70 fix prices.
The chairman OF the steel trust re-
Gently promulgated the following
story:
Prices should at all times be rea-
sOnable and fair. The mere fact that
the demand is greater than the supply
that the necessities Of the purchaser
are yreat-dOes not justify an In
crease IN price, nor does the fact that
the demand is less than the supply
furnish an argument for lowering the
price. In either case would the
quantity bought and sold be more or
less"
These new ideas upset all establish
ed logical and natural theories. Gov.
Hadley advocates State regulation of
prices. while the chairman Of the steel
trust prOclaims the suspension OF the
eternal law Of supply and demand.
II competition were not restrained
as IL is done by the trusts, prices
would regulate themselves without
State or corporate interference. Com
petition alone can and will create
natural conditions. II alone can bring
out all the powers incumbent I'm pre-
vailing conditions. Il alone can evolve
the best energies In a nation. Regula-
ton Of prices by the State would be
as bad and unnatural as it is by the
trusts. A free country cannot stand
such regulation. The regulation OF
prices as advocated by the steel trust
is just as illogical and unnatural as
State regulation. The history of all
panics teaches us that no recovery was
ever possible until all prices went
down. and by their lowering stimulat-
ed real demand. Lower prices alone
can and will attract buyers and stimu-
late trade and production. All recOv-
cries, both in the stock and commodity
markets, have always started from
lower levels. The dry goods trade of
the United States was the first TO
show a real and healthy recovery af-
ter the panic, because both prices and
wages went down first The recovery
in the steel and iron industry, which
took place after the collapse Of 1908
1904. started from lower levels. Sta
bility Of prices would have prevented
the recovery which set in In the sum
mer Of 1904.
All the law can do Is to make hon
est competition possible. This would
make the law Of demand and supply
operative. All other methods are only
harmful and economic heresies that
must make conditions worse and re-
tard recuperatiOn.

are selling side by side in the open

circumstances 100000 persons have
consented to make the sacrifice. At
any rate, such are the present indi-
