THE TBU8T PROBLEM.
One of the looming ' questions of
the day in this country is the trusts,
how to regulate , them and prevent
them from oppressing the people
who hare dealings with them. It is
freely admitted even by men who
believe in trusts that they are the
logical outgrowth of our changed
business conditions, and that they
are both necessary and on the whole
beneficial, it is freely admitted by
these, we say, that there are some
bad trusts, and that to eliminate the
bad ones and protect the people
i u l i n
tunrc uiuum iw xavro icguiatuig an
trusts.
At the outset the regulator is con
fronted by difficulties, for he must
distinguish between the trust or
what is commonly called trusts, and
combinations of capital based upon
sound business principles, combina
tions which conduct their operations
successfully and profitably by pursu
ing economic and sagacious methods
rather than by taking advantage of
peculiar conditions to extort large
1 profits from the public There seems
to be some difficulty in drawing the
line between the trust and this kind
pf a combination of capital even by
some who realize chat there are
trusts which do take advantage of
and extort from their customers, but
it seems to us that it should not be
very difficult to draw the line and
determine what is and what is not a
trust in the ordinary application of
that term.
Before the organization of the so
called trusts we had combinations
of capital running large manufac
turing plants and doing immense
business. They frequently com
peted with each other and the con
sumer got the benefit of that com
petition. They were protected from
foreign competition by the pro
tective tariff. Sometimes the com
petition was pretty active and prices
went down, materially reducing the
margin of profit, and then they
began to combine; the larger ab
sorbed the smaller or drove them
out of business, and that was an end
of competition and the beginning of
the trust. Part of the object might
have been to make cheaper produc
tion possible by producing on a
larger scale with fewer plants, cen
tralized. That was one of the ob
jects, doubtless, but another object,
and the leading one, was to put an
end to unprofitable competition, to
control the market, control the out
put and the jjrices and divide the
profits. That is the feature which
constitutes the trust in contradis-
' tinction from the ordinary combi
nation of capital, and that is what
many if not most of the combina
tions of capital now are.
There shouldn't be any difficulty
in distinguishing between these
two; but when the distinction is
made the question is how to regu
late or curb the trust without un
reasonably hampering the combina
tion based on honest business prin
ciples. The dual form of Govern-
s ment, Federal and State, stands in
the way of drastic measures, even
if drastic measures were deemed ne
cessary or advisable, for understate
laws there are scores of such com
binations formed which, it is claim
ed, cant be reached by federal leg
islation without the co-operation of
the States, and it is practically im
possibly to secure the general co
operation bf the States, because
some of them which find chartering
trust a profitable business, will
grant almost any kind of charter
asked for, and thus invite trust or
ganizers to come to them for char
ters. The trust gets what it wants,
the State gets what it wants in the
way of fees, and thus the trusts are
encouraged and multiply.
New Jersey found it snch a profit
able business that she became able
j P7 State expenses without any
State tax, to make liberal appropri
ations to her schools and for the
improvement of her roads and it is
said now has a surplus of two million
dollars in her treasury, all of which
, came' from 1 iriustcharters. Seeing
the profit that Hew Jersey made out
of it a half dozen other States fol
lowed suit, and now the trusts can
get all the charters they want and on
more moderate terms than before
because New Jersey has a half dozen
or more competitors in that busi
ness.
A trust regularly chartered by any
State can do business in any other
Stafcer.nd if any of their shipments
ments are1 interfered with under the
law of a State in which they do busi
ness, they invoke the protection of
the interstate commerce regulations,
and defy the State law. That's
where the conflict . comes between
State and Federal statutes, and in
censequence of the conflict the trust
pursues its business in defiance of
State laws, as it can be reached by
neither state nor federal statutes.
' It seems tout "if should not be a
difficult matter for Congress to de
fine what in its estimation eonstitu
"?thuf t starting
wutempiated legislation.
Hating defined a trust why couldn't

laws which would have the effect of
driving such a combination out of
trade in that State and if other
States co-operated such combina
tions for want of trade might fall
to pieoes and leave the field to hon
est and legitimate enterprises.
But there is little likelihood of
Congress defining a trust and equally
little probability of any number of
States co-operating to check or curb
them, for as we have said above
there are too many States anxious to
make revenue by chartering trusts
entirely ignoring the question as to
whether they are honest and legiti
mate enterprises, or dishonest and
unscrupulous combinations. That
consideration does not give the leg
islators a thought, while they have
their eyes on the revenue that comes
from broadguage and all-embrcing
charters.
Some of the Republican states
men are talking about regulating
the trusts, but it will be a much
easier matter for the trusts to regu
late Congress than it will be to
get Congress to undertake, in ear
nest, the regulation bf the trusts.
IMPORTANT IF TRUE.
This is a day of wonderful strides
in discoveries of various kinds, some
of which are of inestimable impor
tance. One of these, and the latest,
is thus referred to by the Atlanta
Constitution:
"E. 8. Martin, in the current num
ber of Harper's Weekly, announces a
discovery which will be read with
very great interest by the public at
large as well as in scientific circles.
"According to this writer, two well
known French chemists, Drs. Denes
and Balethazard, have recently learn
ed by accident that Dioxide of sodium
will purify inclosed air sufficiently to
enable persons to breathe it over and
over again without harmful effects.
4 "This discovery was reached by
sealing up animals in air-tight recep
tacles along with lumps of Dioxide
of sodium. Instead of languishing
the animals found no difficulty in
breathing whatever. Encouraged
by this disclosure the chemists
decided to carry the experi
ment still further, and accordinsrlv
they lowered a man - into the water
with a diver's helmet upon his head
lined with bioxide of sodium, but
without any tubular connection with
the upper .air, and they found
that the man under these circum
stances could breath for an indefinite
length of time without embarrass
ment "In explanation of this apparent
contravention of natural laws it is
said that ; bioxide of sodium - absorbs
the carbon from the carbonic acid gas
expelled from the lungs and liberates
pure oxygen.
. "If perfected, this discovery will
prove of great practical benefit not
only to miners and divert, but also to
people brought together in does quar
ters, such as in schools theaters and
hospitals.'
Aside from the fact that a discov
ery like this, if it accomplishes what
is claimed for it, will make subter
ranean and submarine work practi
cable where before it was impossible,
and will be the means of saving
many lives annually lost in fou
mines, it will be of incalculable value
in the prevention of diseases con
tracted from ill-ventilated dwellings
and sleeping apartments, to remedy
which has been the constant study
of physicians and sanitarians.
In this connection we saw it stated
some time ago that a submarine boat
inventor in this country, whose name
has escaped us, claimed to have dis
covered some way of supplying the
crew under water with an inexhaus
tible supply of pure air, making it
practicable for them to remain under
water any length of time. It was sub'
stantially the accomplishing of the
same result attained by these French
chemists. Our impression is he used
sodium in some way.
VSL. HTJTIH'S GAHE.
Mr. Hutin, the French gentle
man who occupies the position of
President of the Panama Canal
Company, is trying again the game I
he has been unsuccessfully playing
for several years, to dump his un
finished ditch on this Government
for a good round sum of money.
The observant reader cannot fail to
have noted that whenever there was
a prospect of the Nicaraguan canal
coming before Congress, M. Hutin,
or some of his representatives, was
always on hand to offer to sell . to
this Government and to show the de
cided advantage of that route.
He is on hand again ready to sell,
but if there were an inclination to
buy there are some obstacles in the
way contained in the contract be
tween the government , of Colombia
and and the company to which the
concessions were crranted. Mr.
Hutin intimates that these obstacles
may be surmounted by getting the
Colombian government to connive
at the trade, probably for a slice of
the purchase money, if TJncle Sam
can be persuaded to buy that ditch,
of which there is not at present
much prospect.
Mr. Hutin has two strings to his
bow. If he succeeds in selling his
unfinished canal to this Government
at the price he will name, he will
ged rid of a pretty large-sized and
unmanageable - elephant and put
more money in the. coffers of the
company than he ever expected to
get out of thecanal,if the Nicaragua
canal be constructed. But, failing
to sell, his next object is to put
obstacles in the way brthe Nicara
gua canal and delay the beginning
of work on that until his canal is
completed, wnen the opponents of
the Nicaragua 'canal will contend
that one canal is sufficient and that"
it would be a waste of money to
spend it on another when ; one will
answer the purpose. "x"i.1
With' the Nicaragua scheme dead,
the Panama company would have
the business all in its own hands and
could control the jight of -way be
tween the oceans and make its own
tolls. ;. In" that event it would in all
probability be a money making en
prise. We have no doubt that the Pacific
Bailroad companies are encouraging
if not egging Mr. Hutin on, their
object being to defeat the Nicara
gua scheme, and take the chances
on the completion of the Panama
canal. But this Government has
fooled with the canal project long
enough. It should either take hold
of it and do the work or quit tinker
ing with it.
Doctors differ sometimes. Some
English doctors say that the in
creased consumption of sugar has
added materially to the physical de
velopment and healthf ulness of the
people of Great Britain, while we
send tons of candy to the Philip
ippines because the doctors say it
is good for the soldiers. But Dr.
Patchen, bf New York, says that if
the consumption of sugar in this
country were reduced 90 per cent.,
in one generation the doctors would
be reduced in number 50 per cent,
and two-thirds of the drug stores
would be shut up. In the mean
time, while there is such a differ
ence of opinion among the doctors,
the average American will stick to
his or her sugar and eat a lot of it.
Some men are naturally so selfish
and mean that they don't like to see
their wives indulge in any merri
ment. A New Jersey fellow who
married a snake charmer, got mad
at her and wants a divorce just be
cause she insisted on taking three
or four of her poison pets into bed
with her and him and playing with
them, and because one of them
resented his efforts to dispute pos
session of the bed by biting him on
the leg.
The Washington correspondent of
the Baleigh Post says President
Boosevelt has turned the cold
shoulder to ex-Congressman White,
(colored) of this State, who was
after some pie, and that he will sit
down on ex-Congress man Cheatham
(colored,) whose job, recorder of
deeds for the District of Columbia,
Senators Cullum and Mason, of
Illinois, want for some of their col
ored proteges.
If Captain Crawford, of Chester,
S. C, had another chance he
wouldn't probably jilt his sweet
heart on the day set for the mar
riage, as he did. He was slated
for second lieutenant in the regular
army, but President Boosevelt de
cided that a man who changed his
mind so suddenly and went back on
his betrothed so cruelly wasn't well
enough balanced for command in the
regular army.

It is a singular thing that in the
popular View -Of disease the interde
pendence of the several organs of the
body is lost sight of. The heart, for
example, is diseased and it is treated as
if it were entirely separated from, and :
independent of, every other organ.
The fallacy of this opinion is shown
by the cures of heart "trouble," liver'
"trouble, kidney "trouble" and other
so-called "troubles," effected by the use
of Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discov
ery. Primarily the "Discovery" is a
medicine for the cure of diseases of the
stomach and blood. But it cures dis
eases of organs seemingly remote from
the stomach, because these diseases have
their origin in a diseased condition of
the stomach and its associated organs
of digestion and nutrition.

would be much smaller and claims
that Southern spot markets were
picking up new strength, caused the
shorts to abandon
