I THE OBSERVER. FAYETTEVIIiliB, N. C. TUESDAY, SEPT. 18, 1900. X. J. HA LI, 'Zditor and Proprietor. X. J..SAXX, Jr., Buintta XIa&iftr. For President: WILLIAM J. of Nebraska. For Vice President: ADLAI E. STEVENSON, of Illinois. "IS fFtfJ? FOUNO MAN, ABSALOM, SAFET Mr. Bryan again displayed the ver satility of his gifts and the thorough ness with which he masters details in his great speech in St. Louis, on Sat urday, on the burning subject of the Trusts. It was addressed immediately to the Travelling Men's Association, bat it was listened to by nearly twenty thousand persons, and covered every ramification of the Trust question as well as of the Trusts themselves. It is one of the best of his wonderful speeches. We shall give it in fall in a few days. Here is the striking exordium : The lament of David over Absalom is one of the most pathetic passages of the Old Testament. The faot that the son was in rebellion against the civil as well as parental anthoritv did not shake the father's affection, and the anxious query, "Is the young man, Absalom, safe V1 lingers in the memory of all who study the life of the great Hebrew king. And, yet, the interest which David felt in his son, Absalom, has its parallel in the more than 10,000,000 familes which maxe np the American people. No language can describe a mother's love, or overstate the abiding interest which the father feels in the welfare of his child. From the time when the mother's life hangs in the balance at the boy's birth until the death of the parents there is scarcely a waking hour when the son is not present in their inougnts and plans. It is to this pa rental devotion, so universally recog nized, that I desire to appeal on this occa ion. APPEAL TO PARENTAL DEVOTION. I would call the attention of every father and mother to present political and industrial conditions. I would ask inem to analyze these conditions, in vestigate their causes and their tenden cies. I would press upon them this qiestion : "Is the young man, Absa lom, safe V Are you satisfied with the possibilities and the probabilities which now open before your son T Is he safe when foreign or Hnmnatin financiers are allowed to determine the monetary system under which he lives ? Is he safe when national banks oon trol the volume of money with which he does business T Is he safe when ih? bond-holding class determines the siz of the national debt upon which he must help to pay interest? Is he safe when by means of taxes laid almost entirely upon consumption he is compelled to contribute according to his wants rather than according to his possessions I Is he safe when oorporate interests influence as they do today the selection of those who are to represent him in the Senate of the United States f TP it, a ttto rrana rn or and VOtl CIO XL uo to a f'- t J not know how soon he may be. even if he is not now, is he safe when he is lia ble to be deprived of trial by jury, through the system known as govern ment by injunction T Is be safe, if a laboring man, when he is denied the protection of arbitra tion and compelled to submit to such hours and terms as a corporate em ployer may propose t THE REIGN OF MONOPOLY. He thus pictures the narrowing field ol industrial independence: "But I desire to call special atten tion to the growth of the trusts, and to ask you whether your son is safe under the reign of private monopolv? If you cannot leave him a fortune, you oan leave him something more valuable than money, viz: the freedom to em ploy his own brain and his own hands for tho advancement of his own wel fare. When there is industrial inde- nondona AA.rh nit 17 ATI is stimtll&tftri to earnest endeavor by the hope of being able to profit by his own genius, his own energy, bis own industry and his own virtue. But when private mon opoly reaches its full development each branch of industry will be controlled by one, or a few men, and the fruits of I 1 1 . 1 L a. l monopoly, iiKts ine divine rigot 01 ruie, will be kept within the possession of a few from generation to generation, while the real producers of wealth will be condemned to perpetual clerkship or servitude. When private monopoly rAfthfls its fnll rinvfilonmAnr. vonr son will buy the finished product at the price which monopoly fixes; he will sell raw material at the price monopoly fixes; and, if he works for wages, he ;ii l l i win wotk tor sucn compensation ana upon such conditions as monopoly may determine." He cited the advantages (to the mon opolists) of the trust system, as set forth by Mr. Charles R. Flint, of Boston, of the Rubber Trust. After describing the advantage to the Trust of controll ing both the labor market and the price of raw material and of that of the fin ished product, Mr. Flint cites another advantage to monopoly which is bring ing corresponding loss to many of our fellow citizens. "There is," says Mr. Flint, "no multiplication of the means of distribution and a better force of salesmen will take the place of a large number." The first man to feel the effect of this is the salesman himself; the next the railroad; the next, the hotel man; the next, the livery man; and so on. Even the newspaper will come in for its share of the loss, for "it will not be necessary to advertise when there is no competition." monopolize the business in which he is engaged, and give him his choice be tween bankruptcy and participation in an iodustrial conspiracy against the rest of the country. Many have been driven into the trust organization by the larger corporations engaged in the same business, or by trusts formed to control iron, steel, tin plate, or some other product used as a basis for fur- ttaar monnfflftfnrfl Tn tph.t hnsinftRS AAA M U V. fc J . w. am - I can your son safely invest a small amount of capital today! If he starts into any independent business he will find it difficult, if not impossible to com pete with a large organization if it at tempts to undersell him in his territory, because it can sustain itself, by collect ing high prices in other parts of the country. If he suppresses his moral objections and takes stock in a mono poly, he does not know how soon those in charge mav attempt to "freeze out" - the smaller stockholders. The merchant is losing his independ ence. The trust fixes the terms upon which he shall sell, and often binds him by contraot not to sell a competing article. When the monopoly is coni plete credit will be shortened, and the merchant will be comnelled to bear all the risks of trade. When the trust raises prices the merchant usually has to divide the advance with bis custo mers, so far as stock on han is con cerned, 'but when the trust overstocks the market and then lets the price fall, the merohant must bear the loss on accumulated stock. When, for instance, the American Steel & Wire Company closed several of its factories a few months aero and threw some six thon- ' sand employes out of work, it dropped the price of nails and barbed wire in order to work off a surplus stock which had accumulated because the high prices had lessened the demand. Every merohant lost money on the nails and wire on hand. So with the farmer. Three out of four of the leading farm products, oats corn, wheat and cotton, have not brought on an average as much during McKinley's administration as during Cleveland's; while, for everything he buys the trusts have raised prices. He must pay more for lumber, nails, wire, harness, hardware, stoves, and agricul tural impliments; for oil, sugar, cloth ing, furniture, etc.; and suffer a still further drain on his income in the way of internal revenue taxes. Meanwhile, the riches of the rich beneficiaries of monopoly increase beyond the dreams of avarice. Look about u?: is it not so except in the matter of the riches in all parts of North Carolina!
