an industrial standpoint, you have
been annihilated.
Economists will tell you that COM
petition is unscientific and brutal
that it is the law of the jungle, the
law of might.
Much has been said and written
about the concentration of wealth,
but If it was not for our captains OF
industry and their ability to use and
direct this concentrated capital we
would never have reached our present
stage of civilization. When a number
of people place their wealth at the
disposal of one man, subject to his
mode of expenditure, 1t is simply be-
cause they have faith in his ability
to carry out anything he undertakes
to a successful conclusion.
Cyrus Field would never have laid
the first oceanic cable if 1t was not
for the concentrated wealth that was
put at his disposal John d. Roeke-
Teller could not have organized the
most conspicuous example of or
ganized monopoly in the world and

associates and the capital they COM
manded.
Now the point is this: President
Wilson was not elected upon the plat
form of free trade, and every man
that works for a living should pro-
test against the attempt to introduce
free trade into this country. The
President says we should develop
our foreign trade"
Sure. But how? By allowing other
countries to flood the markets of this
country with the products of their
cheap labor? What will be the ulti-
mate results of free trade? Why, cap
ital will seek protection by further
concentration, and after the panic we
will go back to protection and capital
will seek to regain what it has lost
In other words, in the final analysis,
we the people will pay the bill. The
answer to the economic problem in
the United States is not "competi-
tion," but combination"

In the Field of
Politics

within the small compass of day,
ti,a Pen,,bllcans are lifted out OF their
great dilemma and secure not only an
ayowed candidate for the guoerha-
torial nomination, but compromise
candidate who would win the sup
port of the Progressives. In the lot
nler they have John ID. Prince Oh
passaic. one time state senaP and
very active just now in the Repao-
iican ranks. and in the latter former
Congressman Charles N. Fowler, OF
Elizabeth. Former Senator Prince
has announced his candidacy, ana
along with it. his adversely to the
iudge-made jury measure FORMER
Congressman Fowler Is rather retl-
cent about taking the nomination
but it is apparent that he is the best
compromise candidate because he was
not identified with either party after
the primaries last year. He was a
Roosevelt man, and when the ex-
President was defeated, Mr.. Fowler's
interest in the race was passive.
In the face of so much criticism
of it's executive head. it appears that
the Woodrow Wilson League, of Es-
sex county. will soon have anothe"
president. When they begin to talk
about appealing to President wilson
for help. 1t looks as though John l..
Armitage Is very much undesirable TO
the members of the league, and the
rumor is now afioat that either Mayor
Julian A. Gregory, of East Orange;
Prosecutor Louis Hood or Judge
Patrick J. Dolan will succeed MN.
And all because he has persisted that
he league indorse Wittpenn for the
gubernatorial nomination.
Possibly with an eye to the jury
reform bill. Governor Fielder set May
as the date for the extra session or
the Legislature, thereby allowing for
six more days than were expected
before the State solons convene. 1t
is said he set the date further along
on the calendar to give President
Wilson chance to stump the State
in the interest of judge-made juries.
The President cannot get here be-
fore May |, owing to his activity
with tariff measures. The Governor
announces that he, too, will spend a
week in the same effort, and he will
probably accompany the President.
Now that Speaker Leon r. Taylor,
of Monmouth, has made 1t clear he
will challenge Wilson in open debate
on the Jury bill if the latter invades
Monmouth, it is more than probable
that the President will have to en-
gage in similar contest when he
comes to Essex. There are quite a
few men here who believe they can
advance good argument on why
the jury proposition should be sub
mitted to the voters, and they have
no hesitancy in making their views
public on the same platform with the
nations chief executive.
In the same breath that he an
nounces his intention of going on the
stump for the judge-made jury bill,
Governor Fielder admits he is at a
loss where he will speak because he
hasn't received any invitations! Es-
sex politicians take this to mean that
the public is not so anxious for a
change in the jury law as the admin
istration would like 1t to be. and that
they are perfectly content with the
sheriff drawn juries. This is brought
out in part by the Essex Trades
Council, representing 10000 workers.
which voted yesterday to indorse the
gefarendum clause.
