; THE FIRST 8TXP
. C It is pretty generally admitted
' 'that Vtruati, which by purchase
of independent plants, or the freez
feine out process get a practical mo-;
- iiopoly in any line of manufacture
i or production should be held under
v". some kind of restraint. But they.
:;r have not been and are not. They
are now, ten years 'after the enact
rVment of the Sherman so-called anti-
Trust law, more numerous, more
colossal, more monopolistic and
more arrogant than ever. In addi
ction to the Sherman anti-Trust law
there are anti-Trust laws in xuirij
Jstates, yet there are Trusts doing
I business in eTery one of them, and
p jxo one ever heard of a Trust being
held in check either by the Sher-
. 4.1 Otoa
1' f , man law or Dy any oi ibo
I- ' laws. On the contrary they have
t -
. -
f jncreased, multiplied, grown fat
c- and saucy under them.
TOien asked why the Sherman
l law had not been invoked and en-
OCorced against the trusts that come
Within its. Provisions, ex-Attorney
5-General Briggs said they could not
be reached by. Federal statutes; that
' tiia nnlv wftv to reach them was
1 through State laws, although there
was then anti-trust laws in thirty
- States and the trusts have not been
- reached by them. Attempts have
- been made in a few States, but they
were failures, '.either because of the
; obstructions put in the way by the
trust lawyers, who took advantage
vyot technicalities to stay proceed
tings, or because the trust incorpo
rators were non-residents of the
State and therefore could not be
reached under State laws, and as
' the trusts were doing business un
' der State charters they could not
Ibe reached by Federal statute. A
r ; trust organized under a State law
and doing business in that State
. would be within its jurisdiction
' and 4 amenable to its Ljwb, but
' most of the monopolistic trusts
now in operation have been
chartered under the laws of New
' Jersey or Delaware, where trust char
ters are turned out annually in job
; lots and cheap. Such a trust can do
, business in any State in the Union,
S but could be reached only by the
; laws of New Jersey or Delaware,
' neither of which are making any
complaint about trusts or showing
any disposition to crush them. On
the contrary they are in the trust
making business and are coining
I money by it.
f-"f Since the Sherman law became
, operative there have been,onTy four
prosecutions instituted under it, and
these all fell flat for the reason, per
haps, .assigned by Mr. Briggs, whose
State, New Jersey, is doing such a
flourishing business turning out
V . ' trust charters, that operating under
State charters they could not be pro
ceeded against under Federal stat
ute. . - "
There have always been influences
at work to prevent efforts to restrain
them under State laws. When the
organizers live in other States than
the one which tries to restrain them
they claim the protection of inter
State commerce laws and protec
tion by the U. S. courts when they
.: . ship their stuff, into other States.
The State laws and Federal statutes
conflict and the .trust organizers
claim the protection of -these
statutes. This is about the only
way these statutes have figured,
namely to protect the trusts and
thwart State laws.
; u As they can be reached and held
': in check by neither by State laws
!;2pnor.by Federal, laws, how are they
to.be curbea ana preveniea iroin
exercising, if they see fit, monopo
listic and despotic power over the
American people. f-. :r
- When the McKinley tariff was un
der discussion in Congress in: 1890,
which was not as protective as the
Dingley tariff is, its Democratic op
ponents predicted that it would fos
ter trusts and breed a large; brood
of them. . This the Bepubllcans, as
might be expected, denied and some
of them with Senator Sherman, de-
'- ':.:".-" clared that If that tariff resulted in
the fostering of trusts, as predicted
-'h: by Democratic opponents, they
would favor and -vote ior a aaw xo
j- place on the free list every article
: - t" controlled by a trust. But although
- they saw the predictions of the Dem
z,' f ocratic Senators verified right along,
- - trusts increasing, : multiplying and
.1 becoming gigantic in proportions,
" " . no Republican ever moved to put a

But Grosvenor, Hanna and other

The first step towards restraining
is to deprive them of the tanfl pro
tection which they have had and
have now, and open our markets to
the manufacturers of the world.

That would break tne monopoly
andbring the trusts down from their
high horses ; and to their senses.
With world competition there would
be no monopoly, the trusts wouldn't

The talk of the probable move
ment for the annexation of Cuba, or
of a reciprocity treaty which would
admit Cuban sugar free of duty or

Sugar Trust men and the beet sugar
men to the front. The Sugar Trust
men favor the free admission of raw
sugar, but insist upon retaining the
duty on refined sugars, which would
be right in their hand, as they are
refiners, while the beet sugar- men
object to the removal of the duty

The central fact in Mr. Gros-
venor's denunciation of the Babcock
bill is that he and his party are res
olutely opposed to any legislation
which will protect the American
consumer from the trusts. A bill
which might prove beneficial to the
interests of the people who buy
trust products will, according ' to
the Ohio statesman, "never be con
sidered, probably, by the Ways and
Means Committee." Mr. Babcock
might as well begin to prepare now
for the snubbing which the leaders
of his party have in store for him.
They have no intention of letting
him pose as a tariff reformer in the
Republican ; party. 5 He must swal
low the whole programme trusts,
protection and everything else if
ha- hones to escape expulsion from
the loyal fold. It now remains to
be seen whether "Mr. Babcock can
be as easily squelched as -Mr. Gros
venor thinks, or whether he is . a
man of grit and determination.

Raleigh News and Observer: Thos. S.
Rogers, who was under commitment
to Oxford jail for assault on Miaa Har
ris, near Wilton, was Tuesday night
taken by masked and armed men from
Constable Blackley and two guards
who bad him in charge, and spirited
away, no one knows where. It had
been reported mat a party was commit
from Oxford supposedly for the pur
pose of lynching Rogers, and Blackley
was hiding in the low grounds near
with him when his hiding place was
discovered with the above result. It is
supposed that the deed was done by
Rogers' friends who spread the Oxford
lynching story as a blind to get the
officer with his prisoner away from
Wilton. Constable Frank Blackley,
who had Rogers in charge, was nis
avowed friend and one of the wit
nesses summoned for him on the pre-
liminary trial. Though he was not put
on thejtand he made no secret of his
sympathy for the defendant. Before
the trial Blackley allowed Rogers, who
was in his custody, the greatest liberty,
even allowing him to ride about over
the country, attend church and call on
a young lady to whom be is said to be
engaged. After the trial Blackley ex.
pressed great regret at its outcome.

The last' report in reference to the
ship subsidy scheme is that the old
bills for which Mark Hanna stood
sponsor, is to be shelved and a new
hill framed. The events of the past
year, such as buying so many
English steamers by the Pierpont
syndicate," the organization of a big
shipbuilding trust, &c," has made it
necessary to do some more doctoring
on that scheme.
But they have their eyes on the
United States Treasury and are not
going to abandon the grab without
another determined effort. -: And the
grab organs are doing all they can
to help them, by making it appear
that subsidies are necessary for the
re-establishment , of an American
merchant marine, notwithstanding
the operations of the Morgan syndi-.
cate and the projected ship-building
trust, which it is asserted will inau
gurate "the battle for' the commer
cial supremacy of the globe.
; JThe Philadelphia Press is a sub
sidy advocate. In a recent issue it
had a letter from one of its corre
spondents, in which it was asserted
that subsidies built th e German mer
chant marine: Perhaps they did
and perhaps .they didn't.' When the
correspondent couldn't find subsi
dies direct he found subsidies "in
disguise." such as "preferential rates
on goods shipped to German ports
for export in German "vessels. He
construes this as "a subsidy on: the
same principle, perhaps," that some
European writers construe the Ding-
ley protective- tariff as a bounty on
American exports. . V
' But suppose it were true that Ger
many had built her merchant ma
rine with aubsidies, is that any rea son

grab system should be thrust upon

New York, Aug. 30. Futures
opened steady with prices unchanged
to seven points higher on light out-
siae Duying, me uui& ui tt mvu -k -'
seated over night accumulations oi a
wire order character. This demand
as gratified by local longs who were
made bearish by the special Journal
of Commerce monthly report on crop
,mriition- The latter showine 70 2 as
against 77.2 by the government laat
niontn and as against general expecta
tions of 67 or 68. Immediately after
the call prices weakened six to
seven points under selling for both
accounts and an unfavorable turn of
the Liverpool market. Buying orders
from the outside were few and far be
tween, while room bulls were content
to even-up and rest on their oars over
the three days' adjournment close t
hand. Trading wasj quiet all the
forenoon, with the market rather
heavy and narrow.. The cables were
about as expected at the time we open
ed, though at one time Liverpool was
excited and up five to six points on
a bad scare of -shorts. Weather
reports indicated clearing conditions
over the central and portions of the
eastern belt, and pointed to cloudy
conditions in Texas with probable
rains in the eastern part of that State.
Yet, reports of rainfall, the ; past
twenty -four hours, failed to show any
break in the Texas droueht. Soon
after midday the local market steadied
several points on : a report that the
recount of the , Liverpool . stock
showed a decrease of 1,000 bales,
as compared with the . official
figures cabled this morning 395,000
bales. Then came a set back under
pit selling for profits, followed by a
snarp rise on : bulling irom scaipers.
Business .- was - dull and reflected 'a
smaller interest to be carried over the
holidays than has been noticed in
many weeks if hot in many months.
in tne last nail nour room scalping
sales forced prices, off to low figures
for the day.': The market .was finally
quiet and steady, with prices net four
to seven points lower. ;
