I remember a story in my boyhood oi a captive, confined in a vast apartment from which there was no escape, who was startled at midnight bythe clang of thebell in his, prison- - tower. .Waking in the Aborning,' he discovered that there was one less window in hi room. Thefollowing morning there was another missing, and thus he became aware that day by day the walls of his cell were closing in upon him, and that sooner or later the discordant bell would toll the the hour of his doom. Labor, thus having lost its independence, is becoming degraded and discredited and losing its self respect as well. Society is stratified. Its mobility is disappering. The relations between the rich and the poor are not cordial. The prosperous are tolerant or patron izing. The dependent are .sullen. They feel that under existing conditions they do not have are right. The race is no longer to ' the swift, nor the battle to the strong. since, in a Western state, I encountered a gentleman who described himself as an agent of the American Biscuit trust. He said his duties were to see that no other biscuits were sold in the territory in his charge. During our conversation, in response to my curiosity, he mentioned that, two Germans who had been bakers in Berlin, having made a few thous; and dollars keeping a saloon in Illinois.had concluded to abandon' that business and make crackers again. As soon as he heard of their intention he mentioned to them that it would be a losing venture and advised them to desist. But they kept on, supposing they had as much right to sell biscuits as to sell beer, and commenced business; whereupon the agent of tbe trust hired an adjacent store, stocked it with their goods, cut the price ten per cent, and when this was met, cut again. I asked the result, and was told with a complacent emile that in three months tbe capital of tbe unsophisticated Germons was gone, and they were financially strangled to death. This was not competition. It was crime. It was worse than robbery on the highway, becaus'd it lacked the courage of the footpad. In the dominion of the sultan or the czar there is no more exercrable tyranny, no moreabominable violation of the fundamental rights of man.

The chief reason why the great mass of evil things, bad conditions, cruelties, corruptions and tyran-nie- s exist is because the people do not care to abolish them. Either through cowardice, inertia, or complicity, they submit. Tbe good are spasmodic. They appear in practical affairs to be capable only of reverie or hysterics. The bad are persistent. They are wiser in their day and generation than the children of light. It would be puerile to classify all the organizers of these great combinations as criminals engaged in a premeditated conspiracy against the rights of the common people. Department stores are not wicked. They are inexpedient, because they centralize activities that ought to be diffused over vast areas which are sterilized by their withdrawal. Borne of the trusts may be benefleient, but the tendency is destructive.

Formerly flax culture was' an exceedingly profitable industry in Eastern Kansas. The fibre was valuable for fabrics, and the seed for linseed oil. Mills were set np at many towns in the valley,, providing a market for the farmers and yielding good returns to the owners. When the Linseed Oil trust was formed, these establishments, either by purchase or strangulation, were suppressed, and flax culture has disappeared as absolutely as though the earth has become incapable of its sup- port. That the hostility to these com binations is not selfish is shown by the fact that in many cases they have cheapened and bettered prod nets, and thus helped consumers in the struggle for life. The Standard Oil company has undoubtedly di mini shed the cost of light for the poor and added immeasurably to the oomforts of existence.
