A. (iuthrie, of Durham, on Trusts. His main idea is to show that the trusts that now exist in North Carolina can and should be abolished by the State instead oi congress. He quotes the law of North Carolina (both organic and statutory; with refer. nee to trusts, which shows that in the eyes of the people and the law makers thattrusts are "an abomination and a crime" against the welfare of the State, lie then shows that the present laws of the State, if executed, would abolish these, ti usts.

We told you last year that you would get none of these things if you elected G' rover and the Democratic(?) ticket.

But lie should have been more defi nite and told through what channels the largest fortunes and the greatest number of millionaires are being juoduced. lie should have classified tlese millionaires and shown that the largest number of them is pro iluced by the present unjust financial system. It lie Had done this he would have shown that these are greater evils than the tariff, lie would have shown that for everyone who has made a million dollars through the robber tariff there are 20 millionaires produced by othercauses, other bad legislation that neither the Democratic nor Republican par ties dare to change. SENATOR DOLI'H'S SPEECH. We make the following extract: "All reforms, tirough whatever agencies wrought, must begin with and be inspired by the people. The fountain cannot rise higher than its source. The jurisprudence of a coun try will keep pace with the general progress- of society, and largely rep resent the moral and intellectual con dition of the community. 'Like as waters do take tinctures and tastes from the soils through which they run, so do laws vary according to the regions aud governments where they are jilanted.' So said the philosoph ical Bacon. Horace Mann once said : 'Let but the public mind become once thoroughly corrupt, and all at tempts to secure property, liberty, or life by mere force of laws written on parchment will be as vain as to put up printed notices in an orchard to keep off the canker worms.' If legislators lack the necessary qualifications for their positions, the 1 1't-ople who elected them have no i .., i- n i .:.,i. it v ,i c'lusc lUL nnau. xl it. ueue sirable that every man in the com munity shall be entitled to nartici- it the people will not give the neces sary attention to political affairs to : secure intelligent and virtuous ren- i'.ii..iil'if mi) ill llu.il" I.rrul.iliro qjoqtii- 1 v l., l. . v ll lil Llll.ll IVlOlUlfl II. UOOl 1U blies, there appears to be uo remedy for the evil." Reael the last paragraph of the above again. It contains a whole j volume of truth and wisdom. If the ; I1K.n m congress are not doing their duty, the people are themselves to i biaiiie, for there are men who would vote for honest laws aud the people siioiud have sent such men to con gress. We believe they will next fail. But good men should not be put in bad company. "Evil associa tions corrupt good manners." Then don't send a congressman to Wash-i ington with an old party label on him. Send him with the People's party banner in his hands, then ev ery man he associates with will be a frieiid of the people and good govern ment. It every voter who wants good government does not use his vote and influence to accomplish this, then he has no one to blame but himself. A man's first duty to his wife aud children is to use his best efforts to see that good and just laws are passed for them to live aud work under. When this is done then those who work can prosper and en joy the fruits of their labors. KEEP UP THE STEAM. "Renewals" and "new names" are I like fuel under the boiler.

It would seem not. But anart from the constitutional power of the Legisla'ure to repeal the charters of private business cor porations, is there any good reason why the Attorney General of North Carolina cannot, without further legislation, take the above provis ions of law and institute special pro ceedings against any corporation believed to be engaged iu a trust, having a charter granted under State of North Carolina laws since lhiiS, to have its charter dissolved? 1 think he has that power and au thority now, aud the law points out a way by which it can be done, as I will endeavor to show. Ihe hist ami most prominent legal com so for dis solving a charter is the one above cited, which I now repeat: "For any abuse of its powers to the "injury of the public." Now is it not an "injury to the public" to do any act which is denounced as a crime aud punish able as such? This is too plain for argument, and it may be assumed to begin with that a "trust" is an "injury to the public." We will suppose the At torney General begins a special pro ceeding in the name of the State agaiust a ti-ust corporation which we will call the "Watered Stock Boom Co." He alleges in his complaint upon information and belief in gen eral terms pointed out by the act above quoted that said company has combined with other companies for the unlawful purposes described and, iu a word, belongs to a trusT. The defendant, of course, comes into court and files its answer elenying the alligation that it belongs to trust, and thereby upon the pleadings the material issue is raised. The bur den is ou the State to prove it. Who are the witnesses? He must of ne cessity go into the enemy's camp to get them. He has subcemed, the president, vice-presielent, (if there is one) secretary, treasurer, direc tors and all the stockholders whom he can get service on within this State and ne summons the custodian of the corporate papers to proeluee them for inspection. And when called to the staudps witnesses they "all with one consent begin to make excuses." but the one which sticks iii law is this answer which each, with some slight variation, makes: "I cannot testify as to the business affairs of the corporation because to do so would criminate me." How could an investigation of the affairs of the corporation criminate the wit ness if its affairs are lawful and le gitimately and without abuse of cor porate powers conducted? It is the affairs of the corporation, the party to the action which are being inves tigated, and the witnesses "a per son for whose immediate benefit the aetioa is defended," and one describ ed in section oSG above quoted and who refuses to testify. Section oS ami otG takeu together put the in terested witness ami the party to the action "subject to the same rules of examinatiou," ami the rule in sec tion 5H-f is that the pleaeling, wheth er complaint or answer or reply, w hich is filed ou the side which w ith holds the evidence and refuses to testify "may be stricken out." that is, of course, if the judge would ex eicise his powei to do so ou the At torney General's motion. And a judge that meant to do right would not hesitate to giant the motion to "strike out" the defendant's answer ami give a decree dissolving the cor poration for want of an auswer. OTHER REMEDIES. But if you say it requires a strain ed construction of the above provis ions of Jaw to reach the conclusions contended for, there is a way to rem edy this def'-ct, which is plain. Amend sections oS4 and oSO so as to make them expressly applicable to actioiii ia which a corporation is a partj'. Put corporations exactly on the same feoting with natural ejti zens in actions between them. This is, I think, already the spirit and in tent of the lay. But anyhow it is within legislative power to make it plain beyond question. There is still another way to reach by law (State law) not only our own State corporations, whether char tered before 1SGS or since, and all other corporations wherever incorpo rated, which do business in our State. Apply to all alike a license tax and not only make them pay the fa , Jb;jt require as a condition precedent ,to granting tke license that each should prove a "good moral character" like a retail liquor dealer. Require eath corporatioa. ;n order to get such li cense to prove to the satisfaction of the State Tieasurer, or Secretary of State, or Attorney General, or some designated State authortiy that it has not since a certain day to be fixed violated the provision of the criminal law of 1SS9 above cited, and to do business in this State with out such license shall be a misde meanor and cause of forfeiture of its charter, too, if it is a North Caro lina corporation. . . .i:. r: in j Me Oil il"-i-- . - j HOT It j I. , ..i-Hu.ll!,! l-lut'.i-!i l;i' b.m-. n'me t r-ju?re nit t r crtrti "ts of tbi h lifl verv large ma fty f W i!i lit' - ,..,,,,,. ,. 0 w-.al-i hsre C'l i ,.V(,rv jn th1 citv wearing an.r. - Vnv B.-aur.- thr.-e r f..u- d--'- had appennd on ir toa-i l'-'J- nil" I i l-trei t ati 1 beide bitHiSf other d-i.v-th,v ha 1 a No attek-l and bitt-i several i itiz. ns.

C i'THKIE. Durham, N. C, Jan. 10, '1)4. POSTSCRIPT. Lot me add a postscript to my.art lcle on "trusts," recently sent to you for publication. I beg to assure yo i aud also Prof. Dowd that I did not hav e even a suspicion at the time I wrote my article that Prof. Dowd had written, or was writing, the art icle on ihe same subject published in -your issue of last Sunday. My first information was the announce ment in your paper. It was merely a coincident that he and I were thinking on the same subject at or about the same tune, louwill ob serve that my aitb-le is in no sense a reply to his. My article seeks to point, out a remedy for an evil, upon the assumption that there is an evil that should be abolished. Prof. Dowd, as I understand from his art icle, undertakes to combat such an assumption, and contends that trusts are not evils, at least not unmixed evils, for they have wrought some good. He w ill not-take it unkindly. I knovv, if not m the spirit of mere controversy and not for the mere sake of controversy, I should submit a few observations iu opposition to his argument. I contend his argu ment is illogical, and for the follow ing reasons: Be admits from start to finish of his article (what he was obliged to do), that trusis are motion r olies. Now if that ho true, thetv either trusts are wrong in principle or our republican form of govern ment, especially our own State gov ernment, is in this particular built up on a wrong foundation. Article 1, section .'Jl , of our State constitu tion, which you and Prof. Dowd and and myself aud every man in North Carolina who has ever voted in North Carolina has taken a solemn oath to support, reads as follows, viz : " Sec. '.il. Pi-rpetuities and mo nopolies are contra ry to the genius of a free State, aud ought not to be allowed." You will find the very same piovisions in exactly the same words, in section 23 of the old Bill of Rights adopted by our patriotic an cestors on December 17th, 177i. If you concede (what you must con cede) that trusts are monopolies,then we have the whole'argument on this point in a nutshell and reduced ab solutely to the following logical syl logism; "All monopolies are contrary to the gt nius of a free State, and ought not to be allowed." Trusts are monopolies. Therefore trusts "ought not to be allowed." Let some better logician than my self pick a hole in the syllogism if he can. My contention ii, that either trusts are wrong or else our funda mental constitutional law is wrong. And my 3olemn conviction is that sooner or later one cr the other must go to the wali. Prof. Dowd says: "It (the trusts; can not be uprooted by statutes nor destroyed by invective." As to "in vective," I inay remark that in my opinion and sentiment no good and righteous thing ought to be destroy ed by "invective," but whatever con travenes the fundamental principles of government by and for the people in their aggregate and representa tiye capacity is in the nature of trea son against the tetaie, snd must be put down or the government is a fail ure, If I. thought Prof. Dowd's prophecy true, that trusts "cannot be uprooted by statutes," then I would indeed despair of republican form of government. But this is an assumption on his part, and the very assumption the contrary of which I endeavored to show in my own arti cle.
