Ner shall any beef, perk. e.il or mutton be sold otherwise than as aforesaid by any person or persons during market hours, within the limits of the city markets." The testimony en the part of the city was that Mr. Mearig had a market stand, in the northeast angle of Centre Square, where he disposed of smoked meats. On cress-examination Market Master Bushong admitted that there was no mar ket heuse at present, that smoked meat dealers were given a place en the north side of the city hall, that Mr. Mcarig asked for a stand Hi cie but thorn was none for him. This witness admitted that ir Mearig was obliged te step soiling, where he has been standing, theie being no ether place for him.lie would bodriven out of business. The complaint was madc,he said, by direc tion of the mayor. B. F. Davis, counsel for the defendaut, called ie witnesses He argued that as tlicie was no markc' heuse there ceuid be no violation, and in Conclusion said that the piosccutlen was a picce of malicious ness en the part of ethers in the same busi ness, te drive him away from market lc lc cause he had a geed trade.

Beckham, of New Yerk, past M. P. grand commander, a thlrty tlidd degrce Masen who forfeityyoars has been an active member or the "order, in a letter addressed te the Masonic fraternity throughout the world gives his icaseu for severing his connections with Scottish Rite Masonry and the Ccrncau Consistory Ne. I, thirty-third degree, of New Yerk. Mr. Pclchani's reasons for se doing are because the Grand Orient of France, founded in 1725, did in 187 climiuate the naiiie of Sed lrem Its constitution and litual, thereby compelling' every symlwlic grand lodze throughout the world te de nounce the act and soer all relations of of amity and correspondence thcrcw ith. " Aiiu yet, " he says, " in spite of this w ell-knew u fact, Brether l J. S. Gergas, the present grand commander of the An cient and Accented Scottish Rite or the thlity third and last degree of Fice Ma sonry as established In the Fulled States by Jeseph f'crueau in New Yerk in 1W2, during a visit by him te Paris, m lhsS, did visit and meet with the 'council of the elder and did appoint one of the obedi ence te the said Grand ('rient, a representa tive thereto, as a guarautce of amity, en behalf or the body ever wldch the said Gergas presides." In conclusion Mr. Beckham says the members of the "council of the order" are members of and ew e allegiance te the Graud Orient, and consequently are under the ban et non-Masonic iutci course, and that no true symbolic Masen can ignore the edia of his grand ledge, which inter dicts his doing se.

He waa taken te a neighboring drug store in il his injuries attended le. Hcuck could tell nothing of the oxplpsten, or hew he es caped.

The Trust Itself u Monopoly Hint u Heli- uereftlie Great Hotly of Consumers, lien. Win. I. Wilsen In the llnltlinercHiui. I endeavored te show in my last paper that the two grounds en which trusts have been chiefly defended are both untenable, and furtheimere. thatthey are net the real objects aimed at by theso combinations. Their prliuury object is net te prevent iiduHciatleu or debasement In the quality of the objects they produce, nor, en the ether hand, morely te secure the benefits Unit flew from production en a large scale. Expcrlcnce has abundantly shown that the publie can protect Itself, and at the same tlmu the honest producer, from fiaudsln the quality of commodities with out having recourse te the sublle mid ex trusive machinery of Iho trust. Very brief but very Instructive experience has also been sufficient te show that whatever advantages for cheaenliig cost have been secured by lis prodtiitlen en a large scale have always been appropriated by tliocom tliecom tliocem bluatiou Itselfand never shared with Iho consumer. Moreover, when under the sugar trust cloven refineries me made te-earu large dividends en the watered stock of sixteen refineries when under Iho whisky liust twclve disttllciles are in alike manner made te e4iu liberal dividends en the watered stock ofelghty-eno distilleries, no amount or special pleading or economic Irytrdcmnin can obseure Iho fuel that the publie Is compelled te pay oxcessivo prices ler their products, and that this result has been accomplished through a combination that has been able te limit supply, and by suili limitation te run up pi Ices. And this control or supply Is Iho Inte mid final object of every trust. But there can be n such liiuitutU u permanently ami cllcctively accomplished as long as there is either competition or the lesithillty of competition in open market between fuila pendent producers of the same article. Accordingly this competition must be en tirely or laigely neutiull.ed In dear Iho ground for a trust. The in Ice of a com modity Is settled by what lias been called the "niggling of the market;" In ether words, it is the outcome of Iho contest between sellers trying te get Iho highest prices for their wines and buyers trying le buy at the lowest; and Iho law which con cen con liels this higgling Is the law of supply and demand, which In Iho lung run makes Iho normal price of commodities. The trust is a scheme te limit supply by lessening, and if posslble eliminating, Iho eoniM.'ti eeniM.'ti eoniM.'ti tieu whlih bus hitherto compelled rival producers te seek their profits net se much In high pilcesasiul.irgus.iles. Its avowed object is te substitute combination for competition, which Ih Iho very definition of monopoly- net Iho meaning of that much abused word In Die loose und random declamation of Iho hustings, but Us defini tion by the most exact thinkers and Ihose who aie guaulcd and piccise In their terms. " Wherever competition is net iuonesilv is," said Jehn Stuart Mill, and se say all great writers en the hlsleiy and laws of trade. There Is scarcely a word In our vocab ulary that conjures up ideas mere repug nant te equality of citizenship and te free Institutions or which comes down ftoin-the past freighted with mere sinister imjiett than the word monopoly. It is associated with all these wieugs and hoary abuses by which, in the elder nations el the world, thegrc.it mass or the peeple have at limes been sunk in hejieless poverty and tell that priv ilege might roll in wealth and idleness. We are bound, therefore, te inquire hew fnr lu its ebscrvisl operations the ti list merits and justifies the stigma (hat such a classification would stamp upon it. Let us begin by inquiring what has been the effect of the trust en Iho producer or Its raw material. In order te measure this elleU fully we must, ir possible, select a trust that is, if net the sole, at any rate the chief, con sumer of the raw material of its particular industry. The biigar trust cannot Imme diately or greatly depress the prlee of raw sugars, because W long usage in the trade that price is established by the quotations In the Londen market, and as nlue-lenllis or our raw sugars ceme from abroad, their shippers have r hob e or markets, and will net ceme here unless they have assurance that the New Yerk market isasgoedas the Louden market, and this assurance they can command by contracting for the saie or their cargoes befere starting. Yet, even witli this protection, the sellers will eventually find seme ditlerence, for, In stead of dealing with sixteen Independent buyers, they new ileal practically with one, and the diminished (ensti million caiiseii by the artificial stimulation of Iho piicoef refined sugar, brought about bv the trust, will inevilably ntltvt the vTiluoef Iho raw product. Neither can we approximate the iullii iullii ence of the whisky trust en ihe price et tern, because il is but ene of many buyers in the home market, and It consumes tee small a fraction of the entire domestic pro duct te enable it te dictate prices. But the Standard Gil trust Is an example te our hand. The producer of petroleum cannot, like the foreign sugar planter, solid this product IndlllVrently, and ut the same cost, te the European or the American market; nor can he, like our farmer, find numberless ether purchasers In the home market. He is largely dependent lias been at times entirely dependent en the rilaudyrtf towWcaileu te buy bU crude oil. Has he shared In the phenomenal prosper ity of that combination? Has It ever paid 111 m fairly rt uu lucrative prices for that pto pte diicl, which In it sol r has turned into golden slrcams7 On Iho contrary, during the highest tides el Its prosperity, his business lias been vibrating between aitual less and lean and begcatly profits. 'Te strike oil" was formerly it phrase Implying the sure acquisition of great and Immediate wealth, but as the refining business paused Inte tlie grasp of a single combination, the vvhole oil-producing territory passed Inte a "nlaloer chronic Repression." And se we are Instilled In saying that In its dealings w Ith theso w he produce Its raw materlnt the trust reveals ilsell' wherever Its pew er and tendency can have foil play In the character eta true aiidutuulst.ikable monopoly. Ae may next ask hew the trust has dealt with that larger body, the general public, who purchase and consume Its product?. The question I have already virtually an swered In Iho paper reciting the enormous profits or each one or the combination. Stress Is constantly and esjieclally In beliaU of the Standard trust laid upon Iho argument that selWiderest will always prompt a soller le content him seirwlth niodeiate and reasonable profits lu order te secure the largest range or customers. But does any ene argue that scir-lntcrest Impels the owner or a patent iilHiii an article of general ue or necessity, or even, llke the Bell telephone, or general oeiivenluiice, te content himself with moderate piellts lu order le liicre.iso'le the utmost Iho number of purchasers. The argument has ferce only lu rcsicct te arti cles whose use 1 voluntary with the peo ple, and which they must, therefore, be tempted te buy. On the oilier hand, as longaslherelsor can be but ene seller or an niilde w hlch peeple are almost or actu ally compelled te buy, that seller can and will sell at a prlee that brings tohluithe largest possible returns. AVhen Iho patent en the telephone explies and ether niaiiu fitclureiscan supply the market the public will get telephones much cheaper, whlle sun iwyiiig reasuuauie prollMle tliose who liiake them. In the case of the telephone ihe law or patents has for a fixed term entirely oblit erated competition; In Iho case of trusts ineir own succeisiui combination has mere or less felly obliterated conietltlou. Let me udd, in conclusion, that a trust may net only despoil the great bodvef consumers by Its control of prices, "but may impose heavier exactions upon u part te compensate llseir for temporary favors te ethers. The hlsteiy or ihe oil trust shows (hat It has resorted te this practice, fermerly se. common with railroad companies. At the tery time 11 was drlviiiir a competitor lu one market te remediless bankruptcy by selling Its eI'k therein ut less than cost, ft was recouping Its losses by advancing the prlee of oil lu ether localities w here thcre w os no com pe tition. In this way It waged Its wins itud made Its conquests uel at Its own expense, but at the oxpense of the public. I have already noted the same practice in the gas trusts, and examples might be multiplied fiem ether combinations! but surely enough has been said te prevu (hat lu deal ing with the consumer, also, u trust Is always, and everywhere a monopoly. In my next iiaper 1 will consider Iho re lation or the dust te labor and te (he pub pub leo. generally, lu continuance of this pal tlculiir line id iIIsciispIiiii, THBIIt lilil.l) DAY.
