The consumer who is forced to Use

These are the conditions. Is therb
o remedy? Is theie no relief:
Appeal to the people does not ap-

practices ot the men who control the
treat trusts that are fattening on' the
afferings of the people, buf they
iave not realized the real conditions
nil wrong that these pirates have
lone and are doing on the sea of
lomrnerce.
I An appeal to the people to be ef
fective must have in it an element of
Llfiahness the people must see
Ihat it pays to listen to those whp
ry out, against the monopolist and
hen their better natures can be
lroused.
MKV KBAR ONLY IMPRISONMENT
The men who control th9 gre a t
- -1"-
trusts that have by the -throat 1 the
ommerce of the nation, do not care
or denunciation or the contempt of
he people they live beyond ''the
common herd" surrounded by the
msel of display and the cringing
Wulation of "the "sycophants' and
bo Clicks." They care only for
bnlv two things; imprisonment and
osfl of money. "a
THK TRUSTS IN THE SADDLE
Under a national adLmiriistration
hat they bought and paid for, they
leed not fear imprisonment. r
With a congress presided over by
Nierman and Cannon, they need lose

Business men ate intimidated: so
that they are afraid to handle articles
that compete with trust made goods.
? tn people who are opposed to
the domination of the trusts, will
giv the preference to oods manv
ctnred turers, the independent factories will
multiply wth astonishing' rapidity in
the United States.
HOW W
WTHIk PEOPLE GET THE
TEUTR. 1
I But et question: arses, how are
the people to kno w which are inde -pendent
made goods and which are
trust maag$ds? The trusts tdo"
not hesitate to buy up independent
factories and run them under the
name of independents, and thereby
fool the people. This is a popular
method of these V monopolists to de
ceive those people who are oppcsed
to the monopolizing of the business
of the nation in the hands of a few.
LET INDEPEEDENTi BUSINESS MEN
. ORGANIZE.
Let an anti-trust league be organ
ized for the purpose "of informing
people along this line, so that there
will be no mistake, made as to prod
ucts ot the different manufacturers.
I would suggest thata central board
of directors be elected of men whose
names would carry conviction to the
people of the United States. Let
the anti-trust league be organized
and a board of directors composed of
such men as Folk, of Missouri, La
Follette. of Wisconsin, Aycocke, of
North. Carolina, Smith, of Glorgu,
Tillman, of South Carolina, Cjummins
of Iowa, and others of similar; char
acter and to theseVraeo! - submit the

Were in no wise connected with a
trust. A list of these independent
manufacturers could then be pub
lished to the world, and people who
believe that monopolies are prejudi
cial to the best interests of the na
tion, would have the information up
on jghich they could rely in making
their purchases.
WE MUST SECURE AN OPEN DOOR IN
COMMERCE.
If the people were put in posses
sion of this information and they
conld rely upon it's genuineness and
integrityit is my opinion that there
are enough people in the United
States who do not "bow the knee to
Bael" to make the monopolists feel
their power, and that many indepen
dent factories would be established
and than. many that are now strug
gling for existence would prosper.
If a market can be opened and
maintained for the sale of goods
manufactured by independent man
ufacturers, the old das of competi
tion will return, and the oppressive
measures of the trusts will cease to
destroy. This- end can not be at
tained br one manufacturer. There
must be concert of action to secure
and maintain an "open door" in the
commercial world. The independ
ent powers roust form a defensive
and offensive alliance for the protec
tion of honest business and the driv
ing from the sea of commerce the
pirates that infest the coast of honest
ettort. The national government
has been appealed to in vain. As
at present controlled, it is in league
with the pirates, and furnishes pro
tection for its ships in their efforts
to destroy the independent manu
facturer. The state governments
are unable to do much because ot
the protection that the federal gov
ernment throws around these out
laws in the form of "inter-state com-
merce.? c The business man who de

Our second victory even greater
than - jhe first. The score of twelve
to four in our favor tells the tale.
Wonder what our boys looked
like to Spring Hop here on the
home diamond last Friday? Tho
lieader" uy its last issue says the
Louisburg team must be composed of
New Yorlc Nationals, together witb
selected "Stara" of several other
named Leagues, s.nd no doubt when
the news reached Spring Hope last
Friday that the little spheriod twirl
ed by the mighty Griffin had been
swatted by our effective handlers of
the stick till even gravity seemed to
ha've lost its pull upon it, and the
very aif itself refused to offer further
resistance to its onward course; well
surely they will think we must have
taken-in more? territory this time.
However, we await the return of the
jubilant report thil week with the
same humor and good will that
Prince Henry awaited the report of
Sir John Fallstaff when he had lug
ged tn "fighting Hotspur," the victim
of the Prince himself, seeking re
ward for his valiant (?) services.
It is not our custom to diverge
from the report of the game as it is
played (see former issue of the
Times) whether our boys "lick ' or
get'"licked,n but in this instance we
teel that such a compliment as was
paid our team by the "Leader" last
week, whether consciously or uncon
iouslyIehoul(i..6oT Wpasiredii fcy
without due "acknowledgment, for
we feel pardonably proud of a team
whose imposing attitude and excel
lent skill upon the diamond is such
as to impress the spectators and
lookers on and even the reporter
that they look like New Yoik
Nationals instead of amateurs.
Spring Hope has a very good
team composed of clever fellows, and
would almost be a match . for our
second nine, and it is leported that
the Captain of the second nine is
going to make an effort to arrange a
series of games with them. We pre
dict that a large crowd will turn out
to see this game because it is always
more interesting when both teams
are more evenly matched. The game
last Friday was too one-sided, as
many were heard to say on the
streets after the game, but all who
went out enjoyed it.

The action of Governor Kitchin in
having a man who had been released
from the penitentiary on a condition
al pardon and who violated the con
ditions of the pardon, arrested and
re-imprisoned, has caused a cjood
deal of comment. Or perhaps it
would be more nearly accurate to
say that the comment has been on
the system rather than on the Gov
ernor's action. The Charlotte Ob
