PROSPERITY.

Prosperity is just around the cor
nor," said the billboards a little while
back, at time when the question of
justice and injustice was being
weighed by the people Of the Twin
Cities, and it now seems that the pre-
diction is about to come true.
There can be no prosperity where
there is no employment, for the
great mass Of the citizens-the work
ers, and where employment is paid
for at wages just barely adequate to
exc out an existence, There can be
no permanent prosperity under these
circumstances for either worl1men cor
those with whom the workmen spend
their wages--the merchants.
With the return of the building
tradesmen to work under conditions
Of employment favorable to pros
perity, their money viii soon begin
to circulate in the channels of trade.
This, in turn, win soon necessitate
the employment of other workmen, so
that soon the prosperity we have
been looking forward to will at last
be realized.
Let US hope there will be no more
of this dampholishness in which Big
Business says he'll get his, and Helen
B. Dahm with the other fellow.

UNITED STATES
is GRIPPED BY
ILLEGAL TRUSTS

New York.-America is in the grip
of illegal combinations, and an inves-
tigation would uncover mot less than
800 such combinations, involving at
least 10000 individuals and corpora
tions,' said Samuel Nntermyer, coun-
sci for the Lockwood committee, in a
speech in this city.
The attorney characterized the
steel trust as "the car of the great
est of American industries, stand
ing menace and monument to the
helplessness of the law to cope with
the power of concentrated wealth.
THE overshadowing power and
malign activities of the steel cor
porations as such are insignificant as
compared to the effects of the control
1t Yields through the trade associa-
tons that it dominates.
The inner history of the methods
by which prices in all the ramified
branches of this great industry have
been stabilized has not yet been
told. They are not we'll known, but
no one who has studied the figures
or who understands the workings of
the various trade associations that
are operating under the dominating
will of the steel trust can be in any
doubt as to what is happening, not
outstanding the widely heralded
cuts in prices that are announced
from time to time.
I'm point of fact the steel trust
Is the parent of the new familiar sys-
tenn so widely used by the members
of these 'gentlemen's agreements by
which one of the members is selected
as a paeemaker in price fixing and
price changes and the others auto
matieally follow by tacit agreement
or private understanding"
