MONOPOLY THE. CURSE OF IN
DUSTRY.

The blighting effect. OF monopoly OF
business and industry is revealed il
the news dispatches from Kansas an6
other points west to the effect
that not enough men can be obtained
to harvest the crops.
If wages were high enough there
would be no difficulty about getting
men, because there are plenty of men
Who would be willing to do the work
if they could get to It. But the farm
er cannot afford to pay sufficiently
high wages, because he has to figure
closely on his profits. First he has to
buy harvesting machinery from a
monopoly and this monopoly sells the
machines at prices which enable it to
pay dividends on stock that is heav-
lily watered. Secondly the farmer has
20 ship his grain over railroads which
charge a rate that will enable them
TO pay dividends ON stock that is large
ly watered.
The trusts and Industrial corpora
tons of this country are soggy with
watered stock. Dividends must be
paid on this stock, so that Morgan, in
New York, may spend $6O,000,000 for
an art collection; so that the Wander
bilt heirs may compete with the noble
of Europe in the London horse shows;
so that Gould may marry his daugh-
ter to a foreign prince and 50 that a
whole swarm of idle, wealthy FOOLS In
New York and Newport may ride in
imported automobiles and cruise along
the cool Maine coasts in steam yachts.
The biighting effects of these
monopolies find expression in a spir-
it of unrest. The big millionaires of
the East, hiding behind unjust laws,
have got things so arranged that ev-
cry man, woman and child in the
country must pay tribute in the form
of unnecessarily high prices. These
prices are high because dividend pay
nlents must be met regularly. 1t mat
tiers not to the money barons that the
crops must go unharvested for lack Q
men.

COMMITTEE AFTER THE
NEW YORK MONEY TRUST.
By c. H. Tavenner

IT, B.
Special Correspondence 49,
Washington, June 10. Since the
democratic, investigation of the mon
ey trust was started it has become
apparent! why the big New York
banks so bitterly opposed tn eiqnuir
banks SO bitterly opposed the inquiry.
II has been said that whenever the
New York banks took snuff, the
country banks sneezed for them, and
the money trust probe has brought
to light the fact that the snuff has
been pretty expensive to the smaller
banks. This inquiry has shown that
the people of the country have
been paying dearly for the privilege
Of being connected with the financia
gentry of Wall Street.
The New York clearing house asso.
citation, which comprises fifty OF
the larger banks of New York city,
have been in the habit Of charging
the smaller banks throughout the
country for collecting their checks
for them. This charge, which still
is exacted from the smaller banks
amounts to about z cents to do this
work, but the clearing house charges
70 cents per thousand, or ten times
the real cost. Where the volume of
business amounts up into the millions
the profit from this source is ire
mendous up to an average
to $5O,0O0,OOO per year. -1.#S
From this source along the banks
which belong to the clearing house
association collected enough last
year to pay an eight per cent. d.
vidend on their capital stock. In
the face of this collection charge it
| is known that some of the smaller
banks against which the charge, was
made carried money on deposit IN
| the New York banks, so the small
er banks paid the New York institu'
tons for the privilege Of collecting
| their own checks,
The average charge per day fol
making these collections amounts
20 about $4,000, and this is the
tribute Of the smaller banks through
out the country to the big banks O
New York city. A daily gift Of $50,

The investigating committee ha
discovered that the New York clear
ing house association has arbitrar!

ls In 1896 the democrats met in ma
stional convention at Chicago under
conditions quite similar to those
which confronted the republicans In
their national convention in that
city this year.
81 IN 1892 the democrats elected
Grover Cleveland, and had as good
reason to believe that he stood for
progressive policies as the repuDh-
cans had when they elected Taft in
1908. In both instances the prin-
sciples and policies of the progressives
were ruthlessly disregarded. Cleve-
lands last administration was con-
Strolled by the interests much the same
as Taft's administration has been and
is now being controlled.
IN 1896 the democratic national
committee was quite as reactionary
as the republican national committee
which went the limit in deciding con-
tests against the Roosevelt dele
gates. In 1896 the democratic nation
al committee selected Senator Hill
#of New York for temporary chair
man. Hill represented greedy, I'M
patriotic wealth and probably did NOR
than any other man in the country.
ITO nullify the income tax statute.
AT that time his relations with the
predatory interests We're much the
same as those Of Mr.. Roots at the
present time. ~ g@ r. F
8# In 1896 the progressives refused to
acquiesce in the selection of Senator
Hill for temporary chairman, just the
same as the republican progressives
revolted against the selection Of Mr.
Root.
VIII NJ In 1896 the democratic progressivss
won and Senator Hill was not allow
sd to preside as temporary chair
man. The revolt of the republican
1 progressives, as everyone knows,
was not as successful.
In 1896 the democratic progressives
3 took complete control Of the conven.
ton and nominated Mr.. Bryan as
their candidate for the presidency.
y The democratic stand patters or. re
dictionaries did not bolt and hold a
separate convention Simultaneous
with the main convention. They a.
bided their time and did their deadly
work later. They held a pretended
national democratic convention and
nominated Palmer & Buckner as thei
/ presidential ticket.
Palmer and .Buckner carried but
one election precinct in the entire
county. aid that precinct with less
than a dozen votes, but the move
ment created a division in the demo
cratic ranks which resulted in the
turning of the government over to
the; standpat republicans who have
held control ever since. While the
men who believe in placing property
rights above human rights, or the
dollar before the man, have controll-
ed our national affairs for the past
sixteen years. their numbers have
steadily decreased. It is reasonably
safe to say that at least three
fifths Of the voters Of this country
are progressives who believe In the
gospel of human rights, and were it
not for party names and the party
tag they would be in easy control of
every branch OF the government.
How long will the party tag keep
men from voting for that which is
wisest and best for themselves and
their country?
