crease of monopoly during the ad
ministration of President McKinley
proves that the republican managers
are in league with * the protected
money power, if they are not in fact
absolutely controlled by the great
chiefs of organized monopoly.
Democracy demands that this
right of the people should become
the might of the government, but
evidently the republican leaders are
playing politics on the line that the
might of money constitutes right.
That organized monopoly cares
for nothing beyond the gratification
of the greed for gain of its manag
ers and controllers is illustrated by
the example given below by our
Washington correspondent:
The future only can show wheth
er the next congress will take action
1;o cripple the great trusts or monop
olies, but the evidence against them
is now growing so strong that it is
thought the republicans will Dot
dare to fail to do something. The
steel trust is now offering to deliver
Bessemer steel billets in 1,000 and
2,000 ton lots to English buyers at
$25 per ton, the price charged to
domestic consumers at its mills.
This is $8 a ton less than the pre
vailing price for British made bil-
ets, although the steel trust must
oay rail transportation at both ends,
ocean freight and insurance charges,
which amount to about half the
price received on delivery to the
British buyer. The trouble with the
steel trust is that its capital stock
amounts to $1,000)000,000 in addi
tion to $304,000,000 of 5 per cent
bonds, making a total of $1,404,-
000,000. The total valuation of all
the stocks and bonds of the constit
uent companies which were merged
in Mr. Morgan’s consolidation was
only $713,977,200, about h21f the
amount on which the trust now pays
dividends. This explains why the
foreign buyer fares so much better
than the home buyer. Mr. Morgan
and Mr. Schwab have reversed the
process of figuring the cost of man
ufactured articles. They figure back
ward from the amount they need to
pay dividends, instead of forward
from the items of cost that enter in
to actual production.”

Mr. W. A. Woodard, one of the most

“Nebo,” tne negro Primitive Bap

last week. The fire was thought to
be incendiary. It seems that there
has been some trouble in the church
recently over the election of both
pastor and deacons. Some of the
sisters objected to old men aDd
wanted young men elected as dea
cons. Just why I have not heard,
but I suppose they thought young
deacons would be better able to hold
them when they went off in a trance.

It Ought to Be True.

sponse to a legislative enactment by

Three hundred negro men who
had been carried from Alabama to
take the place of strikers in the steel
works at Melrose Park, near Chica
go, were threatened with armed re
sistance* On account of this deter
mined objection they were returned
to their homes. It seems that a col
or line can be drawn elsewhere than
in the south.
Evidently the cotton oil business
in, the south will be a monopoly, if
the Virgima-Carolina Chemical Com
pany continues buying the independ
ent mills as was done in Georgia last
week. However, it is said the South
ern Cotton Oil Company is in the
field and will contest the ability of
the Virginia-Carolma Company to
control the cotton oil business.
The following item from the Tif
ton Gazette fully illustrates the fact
that rare local news can be secured at
considerable distance from home:
“Mr. C. G. Goff, Sr., formerly with
the Tifton and Moultrie, but now su
perintendent of the HawkiDsville and
Florida Southern, was in Tifton on
business Saturday. He reports his
line as completed .to within a few
miles of Perry, in Houston county,
and work progressing finely on both
extensions.”
It seems to be the concensus of
opinion that the railroad named
above will be extended from Hawk-
lnsville at least to Grovania, but
whether or not it will come to Perry
is an unanswered question.
