Pingree,GoyernoV of Michi gan, made a speech in Cooper TJn ionv-fiall irr New York which at tracted muclrv attention.' Gov. Pingree said 4n part:, "lnere .-isjdo mortal mportafTi 4 problem before the people today than the 'trust and what to do with it. Is it a menace" to our com m e rcial ins 1 i t u t hi; s?

Are the dangers f roaj rusts magnified? Do the 7 lie men of the country under t coasumer fays a tribute in high stand their seriousness? Is ihipnces in order that dividends olution of the problem a matter for political parties to undertake? Fhese and many other questions are being asked. ' j "Like all question r. it has two sides, and both must be fair! v stated. It cannot be solved. by denunciations on the partof those who believe in drastic measures. "On the other hand, the mnio ula(ors or managers of 'trusts' unnot quiet the public clamer by ookiug on with a 'what are-vpu oing to do about it attitude. industrialFkeedom demanded. The Christian religion given the world by the man of Naza reth has given mankind spiritual freedom. The emancipation pro- claimation g-ive man physical freedom. Industrial freedom is now demanded by nine tenths of the world's population. Ameri ca. freer of the negro slave, is looked to for the solution of the last great problem. "Tho "trust" creates condi tions more serious than any our people . nave ever iacea, slavery and secession alone excepted. It is ""fraught with more cnse- quences to tne nation man ine question of expansion and for eign policy arising put of the re cent Spanish -American war, ,4It may suit the plans of so .e people to push the trust into the background and -treat the prob lem of imperialism and expan sion as the only issue of the day, but iioriagi the industrial evil meaus either siieilding the trusts or planning to profit politically by an artificial enthusiasm over war and new. possessions. - ' The trust of the present day is technically not a combination of many corporations. It is one huge corporation, which has ab sorbed the property of many cor porations" and individuals, too. The corporations whose pi operty it has swallowed have dissolved, gone out of existence., DODGING THE LAW. 'In this the trust of today seeks tc avoid the anti trust law Its managers claim that it is not a combination. It is not organ zed to restrain trade. "How can rtt be?" they say. "We are mere ly one corDoration. lne tiela is W ML open to others. " ' j ' Of course, it must b6 admitted that the trust of today is the same as. the trust of yesterday in its purpose andeffect But it has dodged the letter, of the law. It is, erhaps, no longer a combination, technically speakiug. Neverthe less it is, by force of its immense capital and resources a monopoly No Individ jal 'or small corpora iion.ean compete with it It is a monopoly, in fact, and should be dealt with as such. It may not be a monopoly in the eye of the iav. But at'auy rate it should be Ul-jga! as being against public pol oy. . : "It is instructive to note how useless' the anti -trust laws have been. They have beeu enacted in 5 slates. Twenty states have no ami trust laws. . Ia only four states lave serious attempts beeu m adejto e a fo rce them, that is in Ohio, Missouri, New York and Texas. VICTIMS OF THE TRUST. "Assooa as a trust is organized j it immediately executes a mort gage on its property and issues bonds, usually equal to the ! amount of its stock:"; The stock jaud bonds are giveu in liberal umounts to the prouioter und h- nancier and distributed among the stockholders of the same com panies' " which have transferred their property to the trust. The balance is sold at lqw pricesland the proceedinirs used to oav the debts of the small corpora I ion s io purchase .new machinery and to start the trust-on its road to ruin It is rlain to the dultest of us that "this process-means im mense quantities of "water in the stock ana bonds of be trust. But what do ibe promoter and fi naucier cre about that? The ones who"5nfferare the innocents who purchase the securities as investmentsrand the" men and omen who are thrown out of em ploymeht by the closing of facto ries made necessary by the econ joniy (.') of the trust mmagement i : Eventually te wages of the pub-jemPloyed are reduced and the f . . arid interest mav be raid to the owners of the heavy watered stock and bonds af the trust "HarsS. as it may sound, the trust wdl divide the people of this country . into sharply different classes, masters atid slaves.- ' . 'The tendency of the trust is to place all business in the hands cf a few raon, whose only ability lies in the power to make money. J All temployes rwill be subject to them, and they willbe treated as .tools, to do the bidding of their mercenary masters. -CRUSHING 1NEEPENDENCE. "It needs no prophet or philos opher to predict what effect this will Lave- indeed, it is,already having upon the independence of the people. Men cannot be machines and free men at'the same tinae. . There is something to live for besides accumulating wealth". But without commerciaiindepen dence. without manliness ; and fair play in business, there is lit- t'e hope for the higher develop ment of the people. "Not the least of the benefits" to come' from the destruction of 'trust' will be the purifying to a great degree of our legislative bodies. "I believe that the -'trust prob lem should not be made the loot ball of politicians and political parties. I think all parties should make common war against it 'The 'figures which I Receive from Secretary of State show be yond question that practically all of the trusts are organized under the laws of New Jersey and New York -a very small proportion in I New York. "We all know that most of the trusts are Qconceived in New York, because capital is concen trated there, but it seems that they cross the river to New Jer sey to get a licence to live. CURE FOR THE EVIL. "Do r!Ot think that I am preju diced it I suggest that these trust evils might be cured if all the other states should extend an in vitation to New Jersey to secede from the Union. This,- however, will be embarrassing just now. Our Vice President anoSAttorney -General are both citieus of New Jersey. , "I am confident that the peo pie of the United States who are Suffering from the operations of the trust would raise no objec tion if New Jersey should comply with such an in vitation. Iam al so satisfied that a large part of the evil result from trusts would no longer exist if states, and es pecially New. Jersey, did not grant such liberal charters. "I believe that Government and municipal ownership and op eration of "rail road,"street r 'ilway. gas, electric light wa'er and oth er public utilities wilt heip solve the problems wnich arise from the encroachments of corporate capita!. "I would not have public own ership extend to anything else. because we can t afford todiscour age or stifle private enterprise. "State supervision and hmita lion of corporations will do much to rid the country of the trust evil. It can at least prevent the .watering of stock and the crea lion of excessive bonded indeb edness, " v "A vigorous expression of pub lie sentiment in all the states wil bring the, proper answer from the Courts.

J - . ; Factories Help. the Farmers Apprehension has , been ex- oressed that the ?rowinf? manu facturing- interests will jtend to the disadvantage of the farming interests of the South. Obser vation of facts do not prove such to be the case, but sh-.-iv acontra- ry result. Thepopulaiioa engag ed in manufactures becomes cus - tomers of farmers for their cropsJ of food stffs. These markets for perishable products become of great advantage to farmers,' and the improvement in farming in - terests are readily noticeable in the vicinity of manufacturing towns. Of course, more work is required, but the .work raising fruits, vegetables, ch rkeus.eggs, milk and butter and taUag these to the factory villages, where markets 'are found, is not by any means disagreeable work. This can all usually be done by arthrif ty farmer without materially in terfering with the production of the usual cotton crop. It would seem as if manufacturers benefit the neighboring farmers in about as large proportion as they do those owning stock in them or en gaged in operating them, Char - lotte Observer.
