The Great Express Monopoly.

A writer in the March American
Magazine calls public attention to a gil
gantic monopoly which for years has es-
capped publicity and which has been fat
tening on unheard of profits wrung from
the people by the exercise of unsurped
privileges. This monopoly is that con-
trolled by the great express companies,
six of whom execute 90 per cent of the
countrys express business Mr.. Atwood,
the author of the article, shows that
these companies by agreements between
themselves. have never entered into
competition with each other, and rates,
arbitrarily determined. are never cut. Mr..
Atwood wants to know why the United
States post office runs at loss and why
the express companies have repea teddy
declared enormous dividends to their
stockholders Speaking of the entire lack
of competition between the express COM
panes, Mr. Atwood writes:
AT first thought there would appear
to be competition among the different
companies on one occasion at least, that
is, when a railroad contract expires. But
unfortunately there Is competition only
as to which company will pay the rail-
roads most for the privilege. Conse-
quently the bigger the payment the more
the public must be charged to enable
the express company to make the large
profits to which II is accustomed. In
deed, the public is better off when there
is least expiration of contracts, for the
railroads are demanding more each year
from the express companies Formerly
the railroads did not expect more than
40 per cent of the gross receipts where
the business was heavy, whereas now
55 and 57is per cent are the customary
percentages for choice contract"

rev. Albert Hin Who VIII BE Pastor OF
the Congregational Church.

tne congregational Cnurcn.
Rev. Albert L. Hill Of Enfield, N. H.,
Tho recently received call to become
iastor of the First Congregational
aurch in Hinsdale, which he has ac-
opted, is native of Lyman, Me.
Not being satisfied with his schooling
a his home he took regular course
% Gorham normal school, and then took
- the vocation of a teacher.
AS Mr.. Hills father and mother we're
nth preachers 1t seemed not uncom-
on for him to have a leaning toward
at profession, which he accordingly en-
red His first pastorate was in Far
uington, N. II, He has since preached
A New BEDFORD and Lynn, Mass, and
IN Bangor, Me. While in the latter city
he became a graduate of the Bangor
theological seminary.
Being DESTROYS of still further fitting
himself for his life work, Mr.. Hill moved
to Enfield and continued his studies in
Dartmouth college. After receiving his
degree he remained in Enfield, with the
church that had given him so much time
for his work. Mr. Hills resignation
takes effect after the first Sunday in
April His relations with the Hinsdale
church will begin Immediately there
after. He will be accompanied as he
comes to this parish by his wife and

Ex.oov. John w. Stewart on Reciprocity

This reciprocity movement will event
ualy result in freer trade relations with
Canada and the world. The longer
live the more favorable i am to free
trade. 1t is absurd to think that two
countries separated only by an imaginary
line and having such close industrial re-
lations should not have the freest possible
interchange of trade.
TT is however, largely matter Of
local concern. The large western wheat
growers who cry down with tariff are
panic stricken If the tariff is taken off
wheat A similar change of mind con-
fronts the southern grower of sugar cane
when his industry is affected"
Ex-Governor Stewart said he believed
the reciprocity bin is a long step in the
right direction and that 1t would not ma
terially hurt industrial relations between
Vermont and Canada.
TRADE will adjust itself along the lines
of supply and demand he said land ]
think the farmers of the state have little
to fear of the outcome. "-tInterview In
