' Cuts oil' Opportunities aud Lc-stroysCoinpe.itiou-Iucreases Price to Consumers and Lowers Wages. "In live years from today there will not be an independent busi ness man in any large or in ar y considerable place in the United States. Every business will be in the hands of astroog consoli dated organization which is called a trust. It will destroy alloppor tunity for independent energy or competition, or for the rise of young men which, we have boasi ed, has been oi.c of ihe great op portunilies of this country.' CHAUNCEY M DEPEW. Thus spoke the. former mana ger of Vanderbilt's railroads, who fias recently been elected to the Senate from New York. He is distinguished man whose learn ing, interests and sympathies are ou the side of wealth, and his prophecy cannot be said to be based upon the fears of the unin formed, the "calamitv howlers"' or the demagogues. Ordinarily when a public man or newspaper :ives expression to the sentiment so clearly stated by Mr. Depew, the hirelings of trusts make no jn.swor except to say that he is a demagogue trying to get. elected oy pandering to prejudice. Wt quote from Mr. Depew because he is known to be rich himself and has always looked to the rich aud powerful for preferment,aod not because ho has said anything new. Others, less famous, have pointed out this ph. aso of the trust as strongly Mr. Depew. Referring iu the same inter view to " the men of small capital, the firms of lit'le means, compos ed generally of young men whose friendsbelieving in theirenergy enterprise and honesty, have ad vanced money that they may go into business" referring h these youug men, Mr. Depew say: '.Just see the frightful com pe titioti they have to contend with. This great concorn. with itsenor mous capital, goes into a town aud. in order to get the business, to crush out its weaker competi tor, will undersell him, and be ;:ause"of its vast business is ena bled to undersell him. He can- !ot help himself. Every one of ";hese small men has to go to the vali. It is a mere question of time when this big firm will ab sorb and ruin them al!." To the same effect speaks the Renuhlican Governor of Mirhi r ui. Hon. H'!7,en Pingree, in an fticr.il piper to the Michisriu Lg ;l.ti u re: 1 1 1 i-. n l extravagance ofde -::.i r o an ici pate the time in th t.in futury whee the pas atjd freight rates on every traversing the country, lit charges for telegraph ;ot d- rce: iten tud t!ep one stsvices m every j -'r.ir. and the ownership and con J irol of every street car line and j suburban railroad st alt be ceti- lered in (ne great office in the j city of New York, in the hands of lone board of managers, and pos-i i 0 isiely in the hands ofon.emanjbe done whea . the people set! j who may have the genius anc1 the j themselves vigorously, "to uproot j ! power to control his fellows. i them. The coming of the .day is; "It has invaded otuer fields ! withthe power oi a glacier and 1 the raniditv of a torrent. Oiia hv --r j ' -j one each of the great siapies which form the necessaries of life is falling into the hands of its spe cial syndiCa e or trustor trade combine, which are but other names fo- a group of men doubt nated by one tnrtn of superior force and g oius. into wiioe sin gle hand is concentrated more power than a king possesses and in comparison to whom the rob -ber barons of feudal age were pigmies in their capacity of xtor tion and oppression. "Even in the small retail trad ing of onr cities the process of concentration is only too appar ent. Our cities no longer pre sent the once familiar aspect of miles of busy streets, occupied by "thousands of small but respec table merchants, each doing a modes! but satisfactory trade with his more immediate neigh bors and in a line to which he had been trained by long experience, looking forward to the aceumula tion of a modest competence for his old age and to the transmis sion to his heirs of an honored name and reputation for fair deal ing, which was as mtjch a family property as his housi or his goods. . . "When ho process of concen tration has worked itself out to completion the law which governs both prices and wages will assert itself, with irresistible force. The consumer will be. charged the highest price that cm be squeez ed out of h.m; the laborer will be paid the lowest wages upoa which he can keep l'fe enough in his body to perform his daily task." It dees not require a United States Senator or a Governor 10 tell what the humblest man sees and feels. We quote the state ments and prophecies of two em inent Republicans to ihow that the evil is so great as to command the attention and condemnation even of thosiS who are bkb in the councils of the arty that js the special friendaud upholder of the trusts, If the people tamely submit to the usurpation of the trusts, the day is near at hand when Clen of moderate fortunes and of fair in comes, who have always consti tuted the very mud-sills and bul warks of the Republic, v ill pass away and be wiped our. The process is. even now going on. "The monopolies and the specu iator prosper, but te masses wither." Already "we are being reduced to two classes; in the drst stage these will be known as the very rich and the modera'ely poor, and in the second stage the masters and the slaves We nave established a monied arts toe racy and are now fastening a I'oke oq posterity. A standing irmy is 10 be euthroned and bay onet argument is to govern " The rising tide of indignation against trusts is not based upon antagonism to wealth legally ac quired and honestly employed. Ii is r.ot shared in alone by the poor but by all those of moderate for tunes and many of the rich who have no desire to use theirwealth to oppress their fellows, to de-i troy avenues of success to young men, or to see me law again be monopoly so': at defiance by men who are the outlaws of com merce. If the trusts did nothing else wrong except converting inde pendent business men. even of small means, into mere servants or agents of trusts having the sole power over- the necessar es of life, or destroying their busi ness if that were all it would be enough to cause such an uprisiug of the people as would make n impassible for them to success fullv resist the law. rnu 1 ' u 1:..,. iUO iwpe ui iue tuuuny iu a fair chance for every man and in open competition, The trust cuts off opportunities and de- sti-oys competition.

Hewspapew the Best Medium- A Widow Throaga Which Men Look Out Oa All. j in a itceni arncte i gave ferwi' I reminiscences of Robert Bonne and showed how he built up Ttu New York Ledger by his start ling methods of advertising. The story of how Bonner sold his country residence may beol interest. He wanted to dispost of the place and having no contiT dence in ordinary jreal estate ad vertisements, he published the following in several daily papers: "I hereby offer for sale oi coun ry residence, near Melrose Station, where I bav lived foi the past three summers, butdc not think I could live much long er. I hava heard that people de siring to purchase a country home could never find one where they had chills acd fevry it is al ways a mile or tv70 off, but never right there, at ihe place that i? for sale. Now, I offer for sale 8 curiosity, something rare, the precise, exact spot where you will find chills and fever. I will warran it to be there. Three of my children have it; my gardner has it; my groom has the premon itory symptoms, and I have a touch of it . rr.yself. Any doctor with a large family who has a si re cure for fever and ague would find this a most eligible sit uatfon The neighborhood is full of the disease, and if he could keep it- out of his own family it would give him a reputation that would insure his fortune Be sides the fever and ague, the es tate consists of a fine double house, with all the modern con veniences, and two acres of land, with a good barn and stable. It is really a beautiful place. The grounds are handsomely laid out, with choice trees and shrubbery. These trees afforfi not only a de lightful shelter, but a harbor for mosquitoes The mosquitoes thus far have not been so much affected by fever and ague as to prevent their biting -in fact, it is a goad place for mosquitoes. I bought it to please my wife, and shall leave it to please the whole family. Ternis, cash. I am afraid any security would get the fever and ague, and become snake The town outhorities are improving the adjoining streets, and if they d rain the place as thoroughly as they do the pockets of the landowners, it may be come healthy." - This remarkab'ead vertisement was talked about ;ind copied, and thousands of people made inquir ies about Melrose Station Aid the Bonner place The fact came out that it suffered no more from fever and ague aud mosquitoes than other localities in that re gion, and the result was that i was sold for a very satisfactory pr c The New York Herald once got some profitable advertising in a queer way. j It seems that The Herald refus ed to print the advertisement of the Maretzek ..opera aud Bar num's museum The theatrical I managers of the city held a meet f'ng anci vvithdrew the.r patron age from the paper. But thev -5 made the rristake of announcing in the other dailies and on their posters the fact that they did cot advertise in The Herald. This attracted attention to that paper, and its independent course made it so popjular that, before man months, the theatrical manager wore glad to return to it.

Never hamper and torment children with clothes that are ioo nice" to be anything but wretched in. They may be taught reasonable care in regard to soil ing their clothes, but to see a child in a constant spiritual straight jicket for fear the mud cakes, or the game of marble, 01 the jolly romti will soil the knees, or "muss" the apron, or disar range the hair, is an indication of idiotic parentage. There are cheap, light, half-wool fabrics, sold in gray, and in brown plaids and stripes, that piped with bright colors make up into ex cellent dresses or blouses for lit tle folks, being just as cool as frint and' gingham, requiring no starching when washed, and noi soiling or rumpling easily. Let the children have plenty of sleep. I have seen young chil dren almost infants wakedand made to get up two hours before their natural sleep was finished, merely because it was thought best that tbey should "eat brak fast with the other people. " There are no healthy child ret who take more sleep than the. need; and yet we often see young boys "routed" before sunrise and set to work, with empty stom aches and d;zzy heads, at chores that might past as well await the coming o.' a decent hour Let u: all pray to be preserved from that s'ashingi mule-headed, and often ignorant farmer, who "drives" everything befc re him including his wife and children! In the long run he comes out a good ways behind his more efii cient and more enlightened neigh bor. who takes things easily and does things pleasantly, aud steers clear of that kind of haste which makes waste. Thefirst step to ward making boys "hate thf farm'" is to cut down their right ful hours of sleep, and make the beginning of every day thorough fy wretched to them.

Much interest fa. beau ujanifested in the sermon, which was decidedly wide awaki and effective. Among other things Mr. Be k said, as reported in tV Atlanta Constitution; 'We are living in an age it which dishonesty seems to havt multiplied a thousand fold Thert are many, like Judas, ready tob tray Christ for gain, and like Re uedict Arnold, ready to sell theii country for an office.

' "I hate the old maxim which says, 'Honesty is the best policy.' Tho man who is honest through policy is a dishonest man at heart Honesty is right, because it fs one of God's fundamental laws. No man wh isableto pay his honest debts, and does not. car. claim to be a Christian. . "The man who akes a debt, conumes the equivalent and thet, places his property beyond the reach of the law, is not an honest man. "Wo score the young people for worldliness but tho worst form of worldliness is seldom noticed ic the jeremiads of the pulpit aud threnodies of the press. Sinfui as it may be, it is not half so bad to play cards as to play with d. bts. Gambling, wicked as ir may be. is not so siufol as buy ing dry goods and groceries and then refusing to pay for them. No man should contract a debt without a probability of paying it. the pulpit not excepted. "The pulpit must not onl3 preach honesty, but practice it The pew must not demand it, bu live it. It is a burning shame that some so-called Christians don't regard their promises any more than they reverence tht north wind There is more gen uine piety in paying for beet steak, dry goods and groceries than in singing hymns and goi ngj to church on Sunday. I honor the young man who refuses work for a man who requires him to misrepresent his goods Dis honesty has blighted and bUstnd, wrecked and ruined countless rniliious. " Do YourI5et.
