CANADA'S WAY AND OURS.
ISini1N Cit1, l'filh,1na /


Some folks do things better than
other folk. If the other folk are not
swamped in their own conceit they
realize this and improve their ways.
The point of this observation lies in the
application of it, as has been remarked
aforetime.
We of this United States try to curb
trusts and combination in restraint of
trader We enact antitrust laws and
leave it to prosecuting officers to bring
suits in courts. After the suit is
brought sight is lost of it until long
afterward, some court makes decision
sometimes for, sometimes against the
prosecution.
Canada has the same common law
on which our antitrust laws are based
But Canada has not that notion that
possesses our people, that everything
corrective must be done thru and by a
| court, with judges learned more or less
in the law and an array of equally
/ learned or unearned lawyers to squab
bic over points of law, with the judge
as SLOW umpire.
! Canada proposes TO shorten the pro-
cess of finding out if a trust is trust
or a combine a combine. The min
lister of labor has introduced in parlia-
ment a bill 10 protect the public against
these trusts and combines. 1t provides
that six persons may make complaint
to a superior court judge that COM
I bine exists the effect of which is to
/ raise prices or restrain freedom of
trade. If they present a prima facie
case the judge orders an investigation.
! The compainants then choose one in
/ vestigator, the accused another and the
two a third. If they can not agree the
judge appoints him And. what is i'm
portant, the bill gives to this board the
full powers of a court.
If the investigators find the com
plant true then comes the remedial or
punitive provisions of the bill The
government may put on the free list
the articles made by the combine or
If that would not mend matters, a fine
of $1,000 a day until the abuse is rene
died may be imposed by this court of
investigator
When the Dingley bill was being
cooked up a Kansas republican mem
Der moved that when an article cover
ed by the bill was produced by a COM
bnation or monopoly, the president,
on ascertaining the fact might order
the article onto the free list His
amendment was turned down hard
When the Payne bill was being en-
balmed a like amendment was rejected
One to limit taxes to 100 per cent of
the value of the article imported was
rejected.
Three years ago come April the
United States brought suit under the
anti-trust law against that stoutest of
all our monopolies, the anthracite coal
combination. to dissolve it, The inter
yening three years have been absorbed
in taking testimony pro and con. The
case comes UP for trial next month be-
fore the circuit court in philadelphia
Appeal will lie, and be taken, which
ever side loses, to the circuit court OF
appeals and from that the supreme
} court. In four or five more years we
may have the final guess
On the whole we rather like the
Canadian plan. 1t will work faster.

Nothing is of more vital interest to

not be secured until congress has pro-
hibited destructive competition between
the railroads and water transportation
lines.
The volume of freight moving on the
upper Mississippi has not declined

But the fact of the trust is the main

congress the other day. "there was
being manufactured in this country
1870 OoO 900 pounds of oleomargarine-a
wholesome, clean, chemically pure food
product, the constituent parts of which
are oeo fat from beef, cottonseed oil
and pure creamery butter. This product
paid a uniform tax, on colored and un-
colored. of , cents a pound, which, in
addition to certain license taxes, pro-
vided for the government about s3,000,-

entered into competition with butter,
being used extensively by the laboring
people turnout the country, as we'll
as by the people generally of the south
and middle west The price OF oleo-
margarine at that time was from IL to
IS cents pound, and butter was from
20 to 80 cents a pound. The National
Dairy union, being anxious to destroy
the competition, inaugurated a propo-
ganda on behalf of restrictive legisla-
ton against the manufacture and sale
of oleomargarine. 1t is said that a vast
sum of money was spent in support OF
a stupendous lobby, which finally pre-
vailed upon congress to enact the pres
ent oleomargarine law, which levies an
unjust burdensome and oppressive tax
upon oleomargarine, the result of which
was to diminish the production thereof

AS TO FsRM BUTTER.

The Cedar Rapids Republican has
producing butter on the farms and
who buy their butter of the creameries.
If the Republican had been in touch
with the farmers it would have heard
of this state of affairs more than a de-
cade ago. The fact is that any number
of farmers who produce even large
quantities of milk and cream do not
make a pound of butter from years
end to years end. The creamery takes
the raw material, works it up and the
farmer takes such butter as he needs
If the Republican keeps its ears open
1t is likely to hear of some farmer
who do not cure the bacon they use
A trip to the farms or frequent in
terviews with those who travel much
in the country would bring new
scene before many editors who were
boys on the farm in the days of "a

THE PEDDLER.

In cur judgment the merchants in
a town who pay their taxes annually,
contribute to the churches. aid in all
the public enterprises, help maintain
the chautauquas, the lodges, and other
Institutions, ought to have some sort OF
protection in their business against the
itinerant peddler and the bankrupt
stock auction CRATER. These fellows
come in after the LIST of January to
escape assessment and get out before
taxes are due. They don't contribute
anything to the town or it's institutions
and uusually unload a lot of junk on
the people at very dear price. The
ordinance ought to make the license
for such business SO high that if the
bus ness came it would pay something
worth while into the city treasury. ii
is due the regular local merchants that
they have some protection in their
trade if they help take care of the com
munitys public affairs.

jobbers and large retailers save an
nually an immense sum by very reason
of Dubuques location on a river.
If the river were dried up, freight
rates would be advanced to an equality
with the average rates. Ut is the i'm
minence of water competition which
lower on q wider range OF commodities
than it is now.
There was a time when corn was
hauled down the river at a very low
cost for freight. The railroads, Offer
ing quicker transportation said to the
|-shippers, I'VE will take your corn at
our rate, but when it gets to ST. Louis
we will give you a rebate" The
steamboats, couldn't stand this destruc-
tive competition, and so the railroads
got the corn, but the corn was on the
shippers when, with the freight move
ment secured, and river competition
crippled, the railroads advanced the
rate on corn.
In the south boats were hauling cot
ton to Galveston for 81 bale, but the
railroads killed the steamboat COMPETE
ton and now the railroads are getting
So a bale.
Nevertheless the very presence of the
river serves to keep freight rates down.
Ut is estimated that on the traffic pass
ing thru the Suez canal since 1855, the
year the canal was opened, the saving
on freight under what the railroads
would have charged if there was no
canal, is S5,00O,0OO,00
No figures have been compiled, be-
cause no data is available, to indicate
the saving to the upper Mississippi
valley on freight rates, but the amount
doubtless runs into the millions.
The commercial interests of the up
| per Mississippi valley are constantly
expanding so that new rates are being
every day put forth. SO long as there
| is no threatening competition from the
river these rates will be fixed at a
figure higher than they would be if
/ there was water competition. That is
why for its own interests Dubuque
must exert itself to the utmost to Sc
cure the Improvement of the upper
river and to encourage the establish :
ment of freight carrying lines of steam
boats.
