The Asheboro Courier PRICE ONE DOLL A It A YEAR Wm. C. HAMMER, Editor. THE TRUTH COMINO TO LIGHT. The vecnt statement of President Baer of the coal trust establishing the conspiracy between the coal trust and Republican National committee, i throws light on the conduct of the occupant of the White House who takes care to make no effort to br ng to justice the unlawful combinations known as the coal trust and the steel trust. THE FIRST TRUST. The Standard Oil was the tirst trust organized in this country. That was in 1882. An agreement, was entered into which absorbed 80 per cent of the petroleum industry of this country. Nine trustees managed the affairs of the company and fixed both buying and selling prices of petroleum. They com pelled the railroads to give them re bates, thus destroying all competi tion. The Sherman anti-trust law en acted in 18S7, drawn by a then Democratic representative, Hon. Isador Rayner, of Maryland, has not prevented the trusts from mul tiplying, because the law was not enforced. The reason assigned for the failure to suppress the trusts as given by President Baer, of the coal trust, is because of a conspiracy with the Republican ticket in 1890, and presumably so si nee. fcoon after the Standard Oil Trust was organized in 18S2 the Sugar Trust was organized and managed in much the same manner as the Oil Trust. By degrees business was monopolized and all by reason of the protective tariff, which is the mother of all trusts, if we believe President Ilavenieyer, of the Sugar Trust, who swoie to this as a fact before the Senate investigating)coni mittee.

Hunting Party. Col. Geo. T. Leach, of High Point, passed through Asheboro Saturday enroute to Moore county, where his son, George C.

The term of Senator Fulton, of Oregon, will expire March 3, 1909, and he is now canvassing the State as a candidate for re-election; it be ing the custom in Oregon for the toters to instruct members of the Legislature how they shall vote on the election of U. S. Senators by expressing their will at the polls. Seuator Fulton made a speech re cently at Corvallis, in which he ad vocated the election of Senators in Congress by the people, a proposi tion generally favored by Democrats and opposed by Republicans; but he went a good deal further and linked this proposition with two others which are entirly undemo cratic and subversive of our whole svstem of government. Iu fact he went as far as Roosevelt or Root ever went in the direction of de stroyiug state and local rights; and put the propositions of these ultra imperialists into plain language. "I am firmly convinced", said he, "that instead of delegating certain specified powers to the general gov ernment, all power should be vested in it, and that the States should exercise only such powers as Cong ress may from time to time endow them with, or, at the utmost, their powers should be limited aud con fined to subjects necessary to local self-government, and all other powers be vested in the general gov. eminent." This doctriue is simply monstrous and treasonable. It would destroy the equality of the 8tatts itt the Sen it? nnd reduce the smaller states to mere vassalago. It is a reversal of the theory of a Fed eral government, and is the very quintessence and deadly virus of imperialism. It is, indeed, imperi alism run wild. For, as it is now, the states alone have original powers and the United States Government has only delegated powers, and can exercise no power not plainly dele gated. How could a government having delegated powers only, dele gate such power back to their origi nal possessor without leaving itself devoid of all powers? In effect, I Senator Fulton's idea is for the Government of the Union to make! a iUit-claim deed of all its powers iiid then secure a new deed giving i it all powers, and making it like tiu old Kings of England, the "fountain of honor" aud the only ! source of power, having local gov-1 eminent to depend solely on its ra vor. Again the Senator says: "The powei to regulate commerce of every character, state and interstate, should be vested solely in the Fed eral government. I have prepared and shall offer at the coming session a proposed amendment to the Fed eral constitution granting to the general government that power." This is dauirerous aud futile doc- tnu.e' ,. , , , - , Ihel-ederal Congress at Wash j melon is tar less responsive to the: popular will than the Sta.ce Leg is ; mire, many oi which are waieneu us caret ully by the electors as are the local municipal councils. Most uriie-vances are more or less local, aud when they nni-'t he tarried to Congress they can with afety be perpetuated by the v.Jtes of mem bers from districts in no n ay inter ested. The railw,.y in teres. on the other hand are ( mic -nlrau-1 aud thoroughly org.itii.ed alid can linn,' their t ditieal noweis to bear more effectually at -Washington than at the State capitals.

Oregon needs this as much as North Carolina does. ot Time Yet to Weep. Some of the railroad organs are declaring with loud noise that the 2-CPnt rate has not, as was claimed, added enough to the volume of travel to reimburse the railroads for what they have lost. We are free to confess that such a consummation was at best with us a secondary con sideration. The first was to give to the public the right rate. If the railroads do not iu the future make as great dividends upon the tremen dous ioIddic of bilge water with which they have expanded their capitalization, we are not to go to the wailing place. If jthey only suc ceed in securing such returns upon capitalization which represents theii real value, we shall confess ourselves satisfied and set out to regulate some of the other grafting utilities by which the country has been so long beset.

A class of little folk in an English elementary school were recently asked to define "n lady," with curious results. The definition of Lizzie, aged seven, will strike a responsive chord In the heart of the busy woman nnd shows that Lizzie must le an observing per son. "A lady is something like a man," says Lizzie, "but she's got Ions hair nnd she's got a different face nnd hns different eyes from a man, a lady has a different body from a tnnn, nnd a lndy hns different shoes from a man." Howard, nged seven, gets at the same facts from a different point of view. "A lady," he snys, "has not got sonft trowsers, but a mnn hns got some trowsers." A second Charlie, a year older thnn the first one, thinks that "a lndy Is a nice woman becnuse she don't have torn clothes, nnd she has a woch with her, and she has a cbane on the woch." Not a Stranger to Her. The (Conductor of the Fullmnn car bad for some time hnd his eye on the man who seemed to be fishing for an excuse to speak to the lndy across the I aisle. The pnssenger flnnlly left his seat and took one beside her, nnd when they hnd conversed for a few minutes the lady seemed to be protesting, and the conductor's opportunity hnd come. He stepped forward and said: "Madam, if this man Is forcing hls attentions upon you he must resume his own seat." "He Is not exactly a stronger to me," she admitted. "But you seemed to be annoyed, madam." "I am not exactly annoyed, but I wish he wouldn't talk to me." "I am simply arguing a case," ex plained the mnn. "Yes, but there Is nothing to argue. We have been married nnd divorced twice, nnd now I've married another man, and we can't be married ngnlc until he dies. Give It up, Jimmy give It up and go bnck to your seat." Chicago News. If Washington Wera There. Two prominent society women of Washington were seated in the gallery reserved for the families of congress men. "What a grand body of men!" ex claimed the younger of the two en thusiastically. "Do you think so?" asked the other demurely. "Why, of course, I do. See how nlert and businesslike they nre. I am sure if George Washington could come hack to congress he would be proud of such a dazzling spectacle." "I fear, dear," remarked the elder of the two seriously, "that If George Washington ere to come buck and see congress he would lose no time in delivering another farewell address." Llpplneott's.

Hradstreet's Com mercial Aeencv, which keeps ac count of the pps and downs of the price of commodities has answered the (piestion in the laEt issue of "bradstieetV' which says: "Com pared with the low level set on July 1, 1896, the gain is 54.8 per rent". So if it cost you $100 a month to live then, it row costs over $154. The protected trusts are the chief cause cf high piices and there seems to be a determination by the donnnant political party to refuse to revise the tariff which protects the trusts and prevents competition. If the Republican patty wins iu the coming national election, the leaders will declare that it is an endorse ment of the tariff policy of protect ing the trusts and there can be hut little relief from trust high prices as long as the tariff protects them. As large prices hme induced the trusts to manufacture more than the people can consum?, the surplus is sold abroad at bnrgain prices. Why should not the American people participate in these bargains the trusts sell to foreigners? Men who will not lose their viduality iu a crowd. indi- Often The Kidneys Are Weakened by Over-Work.
