They produce more cheaply,1 they say, and therefore can I afford 0 sell more cheaply and thus tne people at large are benefitted. j The assertion as to cheapening the I price, of jthe goods they make is not fi true. lor rjriees of manvnmmrniitioH r v increased within the past six months, I some of them, such as tin plate f instance, almost doubled Butdmitting all that is said for I the trusts as to the good they do I how is it as to the harm they do? jt I is said that they can produce more J (cheaply because with their consoll f dated capital they can employ more I labor-saving machinery and dispense with much labor. This is true, and this means that thousands of j people , will be j thrown out f.01 employment j and be" com--I pelled to earn a living in some other f way, a task thatt many will be but j pdorly qualified for as many of them j know but one thing and have but 1 one way tp earn a living. This I means, when vou pet down to tWo a day, in railroad fare; hotel bills and in sundry other ways. So while they are mainly affected by; the lop ping off process, there are . others who suffer immensely, too. " The money saved in the railroad fares, hotel bills and other expenses, in cluding the salaries or commissions of the salesmen, would amount in the aggregate to many millions of dol lars annually, but the public does not get the benefit of this.1 It goes into the money chests of the trusts, which are made that much the richer. That is one -of their , chief sources of profit, cutting down ex penses while keeping up prices, r But the drummers are only one of the classes of men affected; there are thousands, and many thousands of men who, like them, will be thrown out of employment and most of these skilled laborers who have learned but one trade and like the druntmers are practically confined to that and dependent upon it. Thrown out of that they would have to -fall back on some common labor and the common labor market is pretty well supplied already. The ousting of the drummers will go on until there is only a fraction left of the number that is now employed, and to a considerable extent this will be true of the tradesmen em ployed in the establishments con trolled by the trusts. We do not think it would be a wild estimate to, say that if this trust system be comes thoroughly established and continus to spread as it has been doing lately and is now doing, it will result in throwing out of enf ployment at least '500,000 skilled laborers, who will be unable to find employment at their trades because the trusts control the labor market for them. The only thing they can do is to migrate if there be any section of the country where the trusts do not rule emigrate, seek some other kind of work or, fail ing in that, turn tramp or thief Is there an honest, right-thinking man in the country who will say that even if the trusts do all the good claimed for them the good they do would offset this harm? For one we don't, and there are 350,000 drummers who will agree with us. possible. .

FEW LINES. A LEVEL-HEADED NEGRO, j- Hiram Carr, a negro resident Of the city of Washington, has opin ions of his own on the race prob lem, lynchings, etc., and believes there is a way to solve the former and put a stop to the latter. In communication to th&- Washington Post, called forth by the recent ap peal of the Afro-American Council to the Governors, Legislatures and Judicial officers of the Southern States, he says: . THE WAY TO EXPAND. P This country produces more than its people can consume; it mannfac tures more than they , can use, and the only way the producer or the manufacturer can become - prosper ous and continue prosperous is bv finding a market beyond our borders for our natural and manufactured products. Beyond our borders are about 1,400,000,000 of people,, anlong whom we must find consum ers for our surplus products, of which we ship a considerable volume now,, but 'of which we must ship much more. The most inviting field for the extension of our foreign trade is in the far East, with its 1,000,000,000 of people and in the countries South of us, of whose trade we should have a practical monopoly. ; j Ex-Minister Barrett, of Siam, in a speech delivered before the New York Chamber of Commerce a short while ago, said the most popular ; cotton goods in China were the pro duct of Southern mills, and that the Southern States should within fifteen years find a market in China for $25,000,000 worth of their goods.; Of course the building up of our ! trade in the far East or in any other! part of the world will depend upon the policies pursued, and our ability to deliver goods at as low or a lower price than our competitors in other countries can. To enable us to do this the time and cost of transporta tion comes in as an important fac t6r and this emphasizes the neces dity.of an isthmian canal, to give us a shorter and cheaper- route to the countries on both sides of the racmc. with such. a canal a long stride would be taken in the direc tion of building up an immense trade with the thousands of j millions of people on both shores' of that great ocean. -i - i ;- .
