rJLIE HEADLIGHT. Ji. liOSOOWEIt, - - - EDITOR. GOLDSBORO, X. C. Thursday Mobxixo Aug. 0, 1888, CONGRESS AND TRUSTS. The house committee on manufact ures has been investigating trusts, and on Monday submitted a report in which it stated that the task which it had un dertaken was a far greater one than it bad any idea it would be when the in Testigation was begun. It seems that the tendency now is to form combina tions in different lines of business for the purpose of preventing coropetiton and raising prices. Every few days a new combination is formed, and prices arc raised. The public hears at once of the most important of these trusts, such as the Standard oil, linseed oil, 'cotton seed oi1, and sugar trusts, but of the many smaller ones it knows nothing, and, doubtless, wonders why the prices of eertain articles.which are In common use have suddenly advanced. The house committee points out that trusts, recognizing their illegal char acter, have, in order to avoid all lia bility for violating the laws against conspiracies for raising the prices of any article, arranged their combina tions with the view of evading the conspiracy laws which are in force in some of the states. How far they -have succeeded i n guarding themselves against the consequences of their acts remains to be seen. Proceedings have been begun in New York to break up the sugar trusts, but they do not seem to be pressed very vigorously. It is doubtless the' purpose of congress to enact a law to protect thr public against the exactions of trusts, but no legisla tion in that direction may be expected before next winter. The leading men about all the trusts are protectionists, and nearly all the trusts are made possible by the high protective tariff. For instance, if it were not for the duty of 4 cents a yard on bagging, the bagging trust, which promises to rob the planters of several millions of dollars within the next- twelve months, could not have been formed. These trusts are of no benefit to laboring men. Indeed, they are an in jury to them. Since the sugar trust has been formed, the price of sugar has been raised sufficiently to put into thepoekets of the beneficiaries of the "trust between $20,000,000 and $30,- 000,000 annually, but the wages of those who work in the sugar refineries lias not been raised. The managers of the trust go into the open market and get labor as cheaply as they can. They have closed several of the refineries in order to lessen production, and have, therefore, deprived a good many labor ers of employment. A trust benefits only those who have a share in its pro fits. It injures labor and robs the pub lic. Is it not about time to make war on trusts? In what way can they be fit tacked so successfully as by reducing the tariff? . o . . . . . .' . . The Editorial Goshen, It really does seem necessary to re mind some people that it costs money to conduct a newspaper as well as oth er business enterprises; that the prin ters must be paid promptly in hard cash at the end of each week ; that pa per is cash : that ink is cash ; that rent, fuel, taxes, postage, and a hundred other minor items must be paid for in money and that the newspaper pub lisher must himself eat food, sleep un der a roof and wear clothes enough to cover his nackedness. It is really hard to impress these facts upon the minds of some people. The newspa per man is the last to be paid ; he is expected to work for nothing, or next door to it. He must be a Ood party man and subscribe more liberally than Any dozen other individuals in the com munity to the success of the campaign. Jf a big celebration is on hand he must give ad infinitum of his stock in trade while others are paid down in hard cash for all they furnish. If there are Any quarrels on hand he must take them up and bear them on his own broad shoulders and, if need be, make the thing a persona) matter. He must foster all kinds of enterprises, good, bad and indifferent," write up his own town at all times, in season and out of season, father all the lies told and let somebody else get the credit of all of the good things he may say and feel glad, glorious aud happy when some one pats him on the shoulder and says to him;.That was a good thing of yours but it would have been a little more telling if you had said so and so." But probably th& worst evil of all, the most harrowing to the soul, the most exasperating to the feelipgs, is .to have some one step in and say, as jsome one did step in and say to us this morning: "Our organization is to have an excursion this week and won't you please publish this little local for us? We pan't afford to advertise," This is only a specimen and we give it here merely as the latest. Verily, the j pr?iumi Goshen is anything but aland i r,f milk and honey. iV. IVIarri'ge. Marriage, truly and rightly consid ered, may doubtless be productive of great happiness- greater than it is possible to obtain under aoy circt n stances but it makes one shudder to tliink of the end ot so many of the beautiful imaginings of t!i2 young and happy heart. We look around the world, and grieve over the holiest tie that can exist on earth, and this be cause people do not contract it from motives sufficiently high. It is, or should be, a bone to exist through eternity that complete union of souls so beautifully typified in the Arabian belief, that after death the married pair melt into one angel. It is, on the contrary, frequently debased into a merely sensual union, or one of con venience or of gain. A gentleman marries because he is in want of a lady to rule his household, to receive his friends, and in fact, by a superior housekeeper. A lady leaves the cher ished home and the love of her kind red, and all that has been most dear to her, 6imply for a name and a ring. How few ever, think of the moral - and intellectual qualities of their future companions? Not are they noble minded or generor i, but are they rich or handsome ? All good gifts tire to be valued, but surely those of ii e mind and heart are more precious than merely physical attributes, or the vain glitter of gold and silver. Let us really consider what love really is. It is not a mere selfish fondness; it is a gem of the purest water, unchanged by time or circumstances; it is eternal in its na ture; and beautiful as are the things said of it, they are less than the feel ing itself. The bosom that harbors it in the fullest and highest sense has received a heavenly uest living on like the sun through good and evil, unchanged by falsehood or the world's bitter trials. When this sun first shines upon the heart, it seems as if a higher and far brighter existence had begun for us. The earth seems more fair to us ; the flowers never looked so beautiful, the sky never so blue, the birds sing more mclodiouslj-, the trees wave more gladly in the breeze. This season, the early summer of life, comes to most who are endowed with imagination, but it is often as fleeting as the first blight, joyous days of earth's summer itself. Kvery wo man should learn that where her home is, there her duties lie : and she should make that home a little paradise to all who come within its magic. She should be ever willing to add to its comfort and elegance, and never for get to look her prettiest, and to meet with a loving welcome the husband of her choice, the one around whom she has thrown the ivy-like tendrils of her heart, and in whose coronal she has placed the precious jewels of a woman's faith and a good wife's love.
