Thus under the old system a high standard of citizenship was developed and main tained, and our national life grounded upon a substantial basis This basis the modern' trust is rapidly destroying. Special , privileges and wealth enable the trusts to practice dis crimination and thereby render the com petition of these individual business men impracticable and ineffective. The trust tends to concentrate all lines of business activity ' in the hands of a very few. It naturally follows from this that the independent individual business man must enter the employment of the trust fork self-preservation. With hjm must necessarily go his employes. When in the employment of 'the trust they are subject-to specialized labor. They are coxnpelied to center their faculties" upon, th, tudy of a single detail. Then scope of knowledge is! narrowed.; their, opportunity for intellectual research and development reduced to a minimum. The Lfuhctions have been jealously guarded old stimulus and ambition which 'go and especially reserved for the govern with eoualitv of ouuortunitv" and close ment by the modern Democratic State relation between employer and employe Vith. the growing complexity of our in most efficient producer' and distributer; hence the value of the laborers services, his wages, must be greaterrthau in the old institutions. That the Trust does benefit the laborer is evident by the absence of strikes, the increase in wages, and , the general attitude of laborers toward the Trust. But Trust influence does not stop here, v It moves .on to the raw producer hi that it provides an outlet for our surplus agricultural "'.pro ducts. Thus the growth of Trusts and the revival of the material prosperity of all classes in our industrial society have come hand in hand.. Indeed the Trusf has perfected our industrial life. A perfect industrial life" is essential. to our political, social and economic wel fare, and we may well be thankful that our great industrial s Smiths, our Mor gans and our Schwabs have ,with the sledge hammer of organization beaten put , upon the anvil of progress , an eco nomic instrument that insures our futnre welfare in that it harmonizes the wealth producing forces of our country, in that it places the manufacturer, the laborer: the consumer, so ua rely on the dollar and declares unto them, "Perfect thyself." Harvey B. Stone, road on Afflrma live From the earliest times all nations have regulated the conditions of manu facturing, commerce and labor. These are -gone. The man is gradually re duced to a staunch machine. Such con ditions are t he-forerunners of discord, riot and anarchy. -Thus we see that on'a system of vas salage made possible by monopolized la bor is built a social aristocracy based on weaith and special privileges. The doors that open to success and leader ship are closed to the man wltti limited capital. Thef.e will not be opened, not withstanding the fact that many of the -great indrstrial- leaders of today were poor lads. Napoleon was a poor boy but when he had gained a monopoly 61 Europe he placed a relative on every throne. The future ui-anagers of our great combinations will be young Scwabs. young Rockefellers, young Morgans and young Hills. . F. P.

Changing and progressive in dustrial "cohditions'i .-have caused the evo lution 'of.-business from the individual producer to1: the firm and from the firm To' the small corporation. And the transi tion fiom the small corporation-to the large corporation or Trust is just as natural and necessary a step in the evolution of business as the transition from the individual producer to the firm. For in the last few decates business has been making great strides forward. The possibilities and extent of business have increased a hundred fold. The vast expanse of the universe has been made the market place foi the remotest fac tory. To. meet these colossal demands colossal business organizations Trusts are necessary. Hand in hand with this extensive development of trade has come the demand of the home consumer for better goods at lower prices. The old competitive institutions tried to meet these demands and the result was over- nanTc The life of the business man was! of ex-Judge Spencer B. Adams, who is at stake.

The interview with establishing a permanent money-making business. It has entrenched itself on and today permeates our industrial sys tem. This success of the .Trust may he best explained by the fact that the Truest is an epplication to industry of the prin ciple of organized -combination, the prin ciple that is one of the" great civilizing phases of our life. The purpose of the Trust, the use of the principle, is to se cure maximum efficiency in production ant distribution, for only by efficiency caifit establish a permanent money-making business. The trust comes nearest to the realization of this because maximum production- and administration of the largest mass are always cheapest. Iy organizing into the Trust the business man can run only best plants and these to their full capacity, can fix standard of quality by using and selling only the best, can afford opportunity for experi mentation, can utilize every . bit of waste into the manufacture of by-products, can tide over temporary reverses, can secure the advantages of comparative account ing and administration, can save large amounts in cross country, freights, can dispense with useless advertising and a useless selling force in short the tyust gives the business . man maximum effi ciency in production and distributor. Such an institution cannot threaten, our future welfare for the interest of the business man is the interest of the peo ple: as the one thrives so thrives the other. Indeed trust success in business is -dependent upon good service to the community at low rates. The only trusts that have succeeded, the only ones that can succeed aie the ones thus managed. Unless the Trusts do sell good goods at low rates the demand will be curtailed resulting in incrensed cost of production anA loetcfned nroht: latent canital will i has 'been brought into the city and all the 'troops are now on duty in Norfolk proper. - ') Bryan Visits the Capitol Washington, March 13.

Senator-elect Gorman of 1 Maryland has declined the offer of some of the i Democratic leaders in Congress who want him . to become chairman ojf the Democratic Congres sional Comriaittee, and says that he has graduated "oat of the committee business. meaning by? this, probably, that he has served an apprenticeship and prefers to let younger; and moe active men take charge of the work of conducting a campaign for the election of members of the House of Representatives. Mr. Gorman is not talking politics at present and apparently is taking no interest in liepbu rn Bill Reported to the Sena More Speeches Heard on the Ship Subsidy Bill-Debate in the House on Various Topics - Washington, March 13. At the open ing of today's session of the Senate Mr. Wellington of Maryland presented tne creoentials of Arthur Pue Gorman, ejected a Senator from Maryland for a term of six years beginning March 4, 1003.

In reporting the Hepburn bill for the construction of an Isthmian Canal, with out amendment and with a recommenda tion that- it pasis, Mr. Morgan of" Ala bama said the, report of the comm ttee would be ready in a day or two." At 2 o'cloek when the ship subsidy bill was. laid before ' the Senate, Mr. Berry of -Arkansas, one of the members of the Committee on Commerce, began a speech in opposition to the measure. He denounced it as clas legislation, which, be believed , was contrary to the the game, but this is because he is too constitution. wise and shrewd a man to begin active Mr. Hauna of Ohio replied to some operations so far in advance of a presi-1 0f the objections made bv Mr. Berry, dential election. -4- Hughes to Succeed Young Washington, March 13.

PIC TICK Washington, March 13. Special. Con gressman Moody saw the President at jthe White House this morning in behalf candidate for the Alaskan judgeship. Judge Adams was on hand early, but did not make the trip to the White House Mr. Roosevelt was not prolific of results, and the fact Is a cloud hangs over the Adams candidacy. ltie rresnienc ias verv cordkil to Mr. Moody and his utter Bi vprv friendly, all of which aim k' ' of Iowa, indicated that they -were against making a favorable report. Hay of Virginia, the Democratic member, iif favor of the claims. It was shown today th;t there is precedent for the payment If such claims. The majority of -the ecanmittee is disposed to shove them off. io tbe court of claims. Congressman Bellamy is interesting himself inj the subject of tariff reduction in wood pulp and other paper materials. He thinks it an outrage that the Re publican party should allow the paper trust to gouge the newspapers. Mr. Bel lamy will make a speech on the subject at an early date. Today he saw Seren Payne, chairman of the Ways and Means Committee of the House, and talked with him on the subject. Mr. Payne, like the other Republicans, is unwilling to interfere with the tariff in any respect. Congressmen. Moody and Blackburn have been on 'the fence in the Cuban and a colloquy took place which was participated m by those two Senators as well as by Senators Spooner and Clay. Mr. Hanna denied, with some warmth, a suggestion of Mr. Berry's that the syndicate which was reported be purchasing foreign steamship lines could derive any benefit under the pending bill; and he asserted that the supporters of the bill were actuated by as high motives of patriotism as wrfs the Senator from Arkansas. Mr. Perkins of California, a member of the Committee on Commerce, argued in favor of the bill. He did not know why it should be made a partisan meas ure, because every patriotic citizen wanted to see the ocean carrying trade restored io the I'nited States. He closed a long and earncr?t speech with the declaration that there was nO question that the bill would result i" promoting the general welfare and prosperity, not only in every seaport of the country, but' that every industry of the country would be benefited by it. Prograas on Pstffie Bill Washington, March 13, In the House today real, consideration of the Post Of fice appr'opria4ioh,;bill was finally begun and halfwits contents were approved in .committee of the whole. Before this, however, 'three and a half hours of gen eral debate was indulged in, the sub jects of one cent postage, special mail subsidies, increased pay of city letter carriers, the .New York city post office building, and Aguinaldo's. . conduct in connection with the killing of General Luna being touched upon. The Post Office bill will be disposed of tomorrow barring accidents. The annual discussion of the items for additional compensation for sneclal mail - facilities between Washington and New Orleans and Kansas City and Newton, Kan., was then inaugurated iu a speech by Mr. Crumpacker of Indiana in oppo sition to the special appropriations. The amount in the present bill is reduced from $196,000 to $167,000, because of the abandonment of the subsidy be tween New York and Washington. Dur ing the existence of the subsidy for that portion of the route ($2S.OO0) he said the cost or carrying the mails for that dis tance exclusive of the subsidy averaged $3,400 per 'mile per annum against an average throughout the United States of only $186 per mile. Mr. Underwood of Alabama defended the subsidy to the southern railroads ii -t .i , . . . uu me grouna mat it was aDsoiuteiy necessary to give the south quick mail facilities. The - whole south, he said, was benefited by the extra trains run in return for this appropriation. , ' General debate was concluded by Mr. fendlne Aguinaldo from the charges made against him in connection with the killing of , Luna. He aid that Agui naldo. although in prison, was the leader of the Filipino people, was doing all he could to bring about a peaceful solution of the difficulties in the islands. The reading of the bill under the five minute rule for amendment was then begun. Discussing an amendment offered by Mr. Mann of Illinois to in"rease the salary of COO clerks from $600 to $7M a year, Mr. Loud of California in charge of the bill, stated that the . Post" OflVe Department had informed him that with the increase of appropriations for clerk hire made in the bill (over $2.70O.0lO) every large first class post office in the country would be put on the eight hour basis. Upon this statement Mr. Mann with drew the amendment. - Efforts to increase the appropriation for temporary clerk hire and to increase the salaries of city letter carriers wera unavailing. After disposing of about one half of the bill, the committee .rose. It was agreed that Saturday's session be st aside for the consideration of private pension bills, instead of tomorrow. A Houcse joint resolution was reported by the Committee on Appropriations, au thorizing the President to extend an in vitation, on., the- part- of- the. American people, to the members of the family of descendants ofMareschal De Rocham beau, who commanded the French force" ia .the 1war. for American Independence, and the family of descendants of La fayette, to visit tne united states and attend the ceremonies of the unveiling of the monument to the memory of Mareschal De itothambeau in Washing ton May 24, 1902, and appropriating $10,000 to pay the expenses thereof. It was agreed to. and at r:10 o'clock the House adjourned until tomorrow. Jury to Trv WHcox Complete Last Night . l -! twenty applicants for mei Th reduction on tobacco.

To stm t with, the President said there j tariff warfare inside tie Republican were some Senator Pritchard had very fully pre sented Judge Adams' claim and he said so far as he was eonx-erned the candi date was entirely satisfactory. The President assured Mr. Moody that lie was anxious to do what he could for North Carolina and especially for Sen ator Pritchard. The interview was con cluded by the statement that ait the papers are in the hands of the Attorney General. This is taken to mean that the Attorney General will virtually make the selection. It is a chance shot for ..Xiidge Adams with so mauy candidates in the field. Later in the day Judge Adams . and Mr. Moody met Senator Hanna in the Senate corridor and spent several min utes in conversation. There are three candidates from Ohio, but Senator Hanna has not endorsed any of them. Hon. Wjn. J. Bryan arrived in the city this morning and registered at the Metropolitan Hotel, where he met a number of Congressmen. He went to the Capitol 'shortly after noon and held a general reception on the House side, where he received a hearty welcome. Nearly all of the North Carolinians met the distinguished Nebraskan. Later Mr. Bryan went over to the Senate Marble room, where he was in close conference . V"1 with Senators Clark 'of Montana and 1riatlon it is said, biis caused them to hesitate iu lining up with the administration, but it is understood that they will support the-'"-twenty per cent reduction, which promises to be. the compromise by both sides. Congressman W. W. Kitehin received a petition today that is unique in ' con gressional affairs. It protests against the rural free delivery system and is signed by fifty citizens of .Stanley Ridge", Stokes county. No Congressman has yet dared to oppose the rural de livery service, and this is the first pe tition ever recorded against it. A delegation of Baltimoreans today invited Congressman W. W. Kitehin to address the Maryland Club at a ban quet tonight. The fast mail appropriation for 'tne South has encountered the usual opposi tion in the House. Crumpacker whose name is not an unfamiliar one in the South, violently opposed the southern mail appropriation today. Anything southern seems to ruffle the Indiana man's feathers.

Judge Jones invited about a dozen little boys who were struggling in the crowd to : sit with him, and two men in the assembly w?re find by the court. . Solicitor Ward addressed the prisoner in these words: "These good men will be called upon ti pass between your life and your death. You may challenge them or any of them. You shall be heard." The prisoner wore his4usual demean or of a stoic, but he blanched slightly as he stood and heard the prosecutor's words. Most of the 200 men who were rejected said their mindri were made up that the prisoner was guilty, and some said the evidence would not change their opinions. The defence had stricken off 19 men by peremptory challenge. Their limit was 23. The prosecution peremptorily excused three out of the four which the State was privileged to strike off. - Later, the jury was charged by Clerk Jennings and Officer Pritchard was sworn to guard them. Judge Jones in structed him to let them drink nothing intoxicating. The taking of the evidence will be gin at 10 o'clock tomorrow morning. Teller of Colorado.

The fact that Senator Simmons has expressed the belief that Senator Gor man is the most available man at this time to head the Democratic Presiden tial ticket in the next campaign led an afternoon paper to announce that he is championing the Gorman cause and that he had made an emphatic declara tion to this effect. Senator Simmons has made no declaration, but those who are near him understand that he looks with favor on Mr. Gorman as the next Democratic leader.
