Show The Ensign. ABOUT TRUSTS. With the mass of the people trusts ftre in bad odor. The sound of the word has about the same eflect upon the moral sensibilities! of the people as the approach pt'ashunlv has upon an acute and sensitive nasal organ- - It is not because all are so well informed as to what a trust is, how. it is formed, how it performes and what great evih it does, that they are so bitterly opposed to it. Indeed, they may not have the slightest conception of its practical workings. But, somehow or other, aU Americans seem to have an instinctive perception of what is and inimical to the principles the American form of governwhich vpop ment is founded. The principles upon wich trusts are founded are inimical to the principles upon which this Republican government is founded. It is not that trusts have so far accomplished so much actual harm, nor in the positive knowledge that they will do great injury to the people, that the people object tothm; but they do not, and cannot forget, the parting words of him who was first in war, first in peace, and first in the hearts of his countrymen," which were Eternal vigilance is the price, of liberty." In its practical operations a trust may or may not be a bad thing, and so, too, an Indian may or may not be a good Indian and people dwelling on the border where ' Indians are numerous always feel uneasy when Indians are reported to be prowling around,They know that some of their Indian neighbors are peaceable and harmless but they know also, that it is the nature of the Indians in general to feel bad toward white men, and inclined to do them harm, and they also know, by experience that pretended good Indians pre liable to change their minds and join the bad ones in a raid against the whitesjand so all are afraid of Indians on general principles. It is just so with people and "trusts." Those who understand their workings are aware that many in operation do no actual ha rm, and in some pass may be credited with having dune some good. But the misfortune is, none of us can tell when they will conclude to do harm, consequently all the people, instinctively or otherwise, feel uneasy in view of thf growing popularity of that manner of conducting business The leading principle upon which this government is founded is the greatest good to the greatest number;" while the leading principle upon which the "trust theory is based is the greatest good to fhe least numbef. The one antagonizes the other. The trust principle centralizes power, influence and money. The American government principle distribr utes it among the whole people and reserves a central power only sufficient for self protection. It was seriously claimed by men of ability, at the commencement of the civil, waf, that this government did not possess the constitutional rigut and power to defend and preserve itself under the condition the difficulty presented itself. But it did, just the same. If it did not possess it, it assumed the right, and usurped the power, either way, and for all of which everybody is very thankful now. At the time of the formation of the government there were two parties With The one . distinctive government ideas. favored a centralized government of sufficient strength to promptly meet, without question, i list such emergencies as we have since been called upon to meet, The other favored distributing the power among the states; and, in the position of the latter the doctrine of6tate tights had its origin. All parties, however, were . Democratic, and differed only as to how far pure democracy should extend in order to insure permanent safety to the general government. All agreed on the general principle of the greatest good to the greatest number, and made it one of the fundamental principles of the government. A trust is. not simply a for the purpose of conducting a legitimate business, as some are pleased to style it, Jt is a partnership of partnerships, a combination of interests, for the alleged purpose of protecting their particular interest, whatever it may he. Trust is a comparatively new name. Pool served as a name among railroad men, some years back: we know how that worked. It was in the interest of the few, to the injury of the many. If a number of railroads centered at a given point they entered into an agreement to pro rata Jheir earnings, in order to keep the rates jip.'In that way it did not matter whether a certain road hauled any through freight or. not, it got its share of the money made on hauling through freight hence there was no incentive for it to make iny effort to secure through business, the fact being that the less it had jlie better off it was. Free and untram-piele- d competition was destroyed, and trust the people had to pay the pool whatever it graciously saw proper to pharge for hauling their goods. They may have dbne the work as cheaply as they could have done any way, but the they extorted general impression is At all events, money from the people. the people should have had the benefit pf free competition, because that is the American way of doing it. The other is railroad the way. That business was wrong. All such trusts as that should be broken up. About two years ago the leading plow manufacturers of the West concluded to form a trust; they did not call it that, but that is just what it was. The object was to make the plow making business more profitable. The most of the leading joined hands in forming.the combination, a few did not. There also existed a plow steel trust, and the two trusts price of plow steel was material ly advanced, without any sufficient or known cause except increase the earnings of the steel makers, and the advance was added to tile price o plows, also an additional profit to the plow makers, all of which had to be paid by the plow consumers. The plow combine or trust, to secure to itself this additional profit, and protect itself against the competiton of those makers outside the ring, further combined or conspired wirli the steel trust to compel the- - outsiders to pay two cents per pound more for steel than it cost the members of the trust. It was understood that that was accomplished by the plow trust agreeing to take all the steel that the steel makers could or would turn out. On the strength of that condition many free traders familar with the case, seeing wliat effect this protectionliad,sent up a strong protest against the tariff because of the plow and the plow steel trusts. As to the plow trust and its combination with the steel makers, it must be admitted that it is one of the bad kind, both in principle and in practice. It has been practically abandoned lor the time being, at least, as it and all other trusts should be. when a It is but a few short years ago manufacturers were making immense sums of money, and the consumer were paying for it. The time will soon come again when they will be in a like fix, and that under a Democratic administration. The history of trade and commerce shows that rises and falls succeed each other as a day succeeds night .and night day. Before the manufacturers and tradesman had the benefit, now the consumers have it; and at the next turn of the wheel the others will have it again, and leaving out the question of right or wrong in an abstract sense, manufacturers and tradesmen ought not, by centralizing methods, try to get the best of consumers because it now happens t be against them, as bye, in the natural tliev know that will go their-wacourse of events again. But when this is the case the consum. ers will not be suffering as they have been in the past. The manufacturing interests will be more diversified, as the country peeds manufactories and can and will support them, and we will then have the only legitimate and best of all possible protection industry, wich will be stimulated and tempered with competition. The laboring man will not be burdened with unnecessary taxatfon and t le manufactures will be making money. plow-make- bfid entire stack. The heads of Russian wheat are long and slender and the grain small and red. It would be graded at Duluth or Chicago as No. 2. The straw is rank and slender, and the yield a little more prolific than in America. It is harvested and sown in the same month, August. When the wheat is sufficiently matured it is hauled to the windmill 011 the farm and threshed. This is never done until the ground it occupies is wanted for some other purpose. Windmills, which, by the way, are about file only invention tound in Russia, are used for every conceivable work, the women even grinding their coffee, churning and washing with them. The slightest breeze sets them in motion, as their faces are always turned against the wind so as to catch its full force. They do not use modern farming implements in Russia, because labor is too cheap. It is deemed best to give as many people work on the farms as possible, as they become troublesome when they go 40 the towns and cities. When the serfs leave the farms, then Russia will have modern improvements, and until that time arrives she will not compete to any great extent with the Uuited States in supplying the wheat markets of labor-savin- g Europe. We dont want to be personal, but some of our contemporaries who are working the immense circulation racket ought to read the following: I cannot compete with the modern d snake liar said, liar, the In its limitless length, and breadth, and depth, and I wish that I was dead.
