SCUANTOX, DECEMBER 20, 1S09.
Henry W. I.awton, nil thlntjs con
rtdered, was probably the ablest flRlit
iik general In tho United states army.
Io was blf? of stnturc, big of Krlt and
tier of brain anfl-heart. The bullet that
aid him low accomplished the greatest
Imcrlcnn loss since the destruction of
3ic Mji Inc.
Wall Street's Flurry.
OUT OP THE multitude of
reasons given for Monday's
panic on Wnll street two
may be selected as deserving
if consideration apart. They entered
(specially Into the suspension of the
Produce Exchange Trust company and
perhaps largely Influenced some of the
Hher pinches.
The 111 st and greater of these was tho
belief that considerable Inflation had
taken place In the securities of some
Of the big Industrial combinations or
"trusts" lately formed. Tho letter oC
Edwin Ootlld explaining his position as
i director of the suspended trust com
pany brought out clearly his belief that
In Issuing syndicate loans to an amount
llmost equal to capltnl nnd surplus the
trust company had skated on thin Ice.
It had paid out good money In return
Tor paper which might or might not In
it time of emergency, show tip well as
Security; the speculative element had
entered Into the transaction to a de
gree deemed unsafe by him nnd It
would seem that his Judgment stands
vindicated by events. The lesson in
this unfortunate Incident has wide
spread application.
The second reason has to do with tin
pxreptton.il power of the Clearing
House association. This power, toward
the last, was put forth In rescue of
the market. But did It, before that,
consciously or unconsciously, help to
bring on n crash? As bearing upon
this question we quote from the New
York Sun's nccount of the Produce Ex
change Trust company's suspension:
One of the most trus-tcd employes of
the company, who has known all about
the condition of the concern fiom Its or
ganization, told a Sun repot tor i'Mtoril.i
thut It was, in his opinion, doubtful It
the company could have continued to do
bus-hui-s for a great IuiRth of time In the
face of the ho&tlllty of the clearing
1ioum hanks. He .s. Id tnat the company
had made u mistake In resigning fioin
tho dealing house association nnd in
fighting the policy of the association of
charging for the collection of out-of-town
checks. When the clearing house, about
July 1, decided to make this charge, the
Trust company resigned from the asso
ciation und advertised extensively all
over the cointry lli.it It would collect
out-of-town checks freo of charge. This
brought ii largo uinnunt of out-of-town
business- to the Tmst company, but It
also brc light the ill-will of tho clearing
house banks. This hostility. It was said,
was not felt by the Trust company ui'tll
holders of Its stock tried to borrcw
money on tho stock as collateral. H
was said that as often as tho slock wrs
nffcied au collateral for a loan ill a
clearing houso bank tho collateral wu.s
icfuscd. This soon became known In
Wall street and led to tho first rumors
reflecting upon the company's stability.
Of course, this statement may be
lilased, and there Is the further possi
bility that the clearing house banks
were entirely justified In refusing col
lateral about which there may have
existed, to the banks' Knowledge, rea
sonable doubts. From this distance we
cannot determine these points. Hut If
the foregoing statement is true and if
the collateral offered and refused was
good; in other words, if the clearing
house association used its power delib
erately with a view to compelling out
side banks or trust companies to con
form to Its practice in respect to charg
ing for tho collection of out-of-town
checks, then a situation exists which
npparcntly calls for attentive consid
eration. The public la not prepared to
suffer artificial dlstuibanee of its busi
ness relations because of a, row be
tween banks, and It may yet insist on
stronger safeguards If it shall appear
that these aro needed.
As to the panic In general, it denoted
nothing alarming to substantial indus
try or commerce, but rather a mere
vent to overspeculatlon. The man who
keeps out of stock gambling need not,
on account of it, waste a wIiik of sleep.

of an appeal to the American people
for contributions to aid the widows nnl

It isliln address. to tho public made by
a cojnmlttee of Cape Colony Africand
ers, wj)lch sets forth that although tliraa

Wlint to Do with Trusts.
N THE LAST Issue of tho Engl
glneerlng News nonenred nn in
teresting nrtlcle from the nen of
tho editor of that Journal, Mr.
Charles Whlttipy Baker, In nnwrr t
fho question, "What Shall We Do with
the Trusts?" Ten years ngo Mr. B titer
took up as n pastime study of the
problem, Is competition tho life of
trade? nnd wrote n book, "Monopolies
and the People," embodying the de
ductions to which his studies led him.
Tills hook line recently been reissued In
revised form nnd the article above men
tl .nod constitutes a kind of r-innlng
digest of It.
"There need bo no longer," sny Mr.
3nker. "the shadow of a doubt that the
tt lists nro with us to stay. Th fac
tory system of production, the ra'Vay,
the department fitore these nnd n hun
dred other outgrov ths of this century,
have created a new economic system,
and one In which free competition, the
panacea of the old school of political
economists, can no longer apply. It fol
lows from this that tho policy of re
pression cannot solve the trust pro
blem. Statute laws can no more create
nnew the davfl of fiee and universal
competition than they can abolish tho
railway, the cotton mill and the elec
tric light." The question, our author
thinks, is one of Intelligent regulation.
On. this point he says:
"Under the old system of free com
petition, prices were reguhited by tho
law of supply and demand. When
there Is only one source of supply, how
ever, throe who control It can fix prices
to suit their own pleasure, and can base
them on 'what the trafllc will bear,'
to use the common phrase. In this way
they may teeelvo a compensation far
greater than that to which they aro
equitably entitled, The disappearance
of competition In many branches of In
dustry Is a matter of deep concern to
every man. Freedom and independ
ence are sacred words to Americans;
but economic freedom and economic In
dependence of the individual cannot
exist If monopolies are nllowed to carry
on their operations without hindrance
nnd tnx the public at their pleasure.
Evidently, the only agency which has
the power to intervene to pi event this
is the government; nnd it is now clear
ly established in nil civilized countries,
that in every case where the existence
of a monopoly is proved, it Is both the
right and the duty of the government
to intervene, either for the suppression
of the monoply or for its supervision
and control."
In the matter of the trusts, if it
should be decided to subject them to
government control to prevent the
evils of discrimination, oppression of
their employes, and exoibitunt charges
to the public for their products, In
what form can that control be exer
cised without transgression of the
rights of tho trust owners, but with ef
fective protection to tho public? Mr.
Baker's answer to this question is a
somewhat radical one; he holds that
the time haa come when the .state must
control some of these great monopolies
from the inside, through direct repre
sentation upon the boards of directors.
"The legal light of the state or the na
tion to do this," he adds, "seems en
tirely clear. A corporation is an arti
ficial person, created by process of law,
and subject in every respect to the re
strictions and regulations of the power
that created It. We have engaged in
a great experiment in pel mining the
unlimited formation of corporations
to conduct business of any and every
sort. The experiment has brought
large benefits, but it has brought seri
ous evils as well. It Is entirely within
the power of the state to take steps for
the reform of these evils by the Im
position of any nnd every restriction
upon corporations that may seem best.
It Is ndmitted on all hands that the
tiusts and all monopolies have duties
to tho public. Their managers aro as
much bound to observe these duties
ns they are to protect the Interests of
their own stockholders. Then why
should not tho public have a direct
voice in the management?"
The readiest answer, of coirse, would
be that such public representation, lin
ing Mdltlcal in origin, wou'd prob
ably bo corrupt. But Mr. Baker re
plies: "Let us fully realize tno fact
that the public must tmst somebody.
All these great Industries must be car
lied on by men to whom must be grant
ed powers greater than those possessed
by many a prince of feudal days. We
have gone far past the days of Indi
vidual ownership nnd control of tho
great Industries of modern life. Our
railway presidents nnd managers, tho
men In 'charge of the gieat manufac
turing consolidations, and many other
like captains of industry do not own
tho properties in their charge. They
nro simply trustees for the actual own
err. Tho whole edlflco of modern in
dustry and commeico has for Its corner-stone
fidelity to trusts reuostd.
Without this every wheel would btop.
It ought to be ns easy to find honest
trustees to protect public Interests as
Drlvate."
The experiment of public representa
tion on boards of directors of water,
light nnd traction companies would be
well worth trying. It would give the
public at least the pleasuro of imagin
ing that It had tho chanco to know
what. was going on behind tho curtains
of these monopolies.
The Southern cotton planters havo
been aroused on the subject of expans
ion and tho political doom of states
men from cotton-growing districts
who oppose tho president's Philippine
policy will bo swift. The Southern cot
ton growers desire a more extended
market and they realize better than
any one else that there aro no localities
so promising ns the tropical countries
where tho demand for cotton fabrics
must follow the march of civilization
that induces the nntlvcs tu wear
clothes. The Atkinson colporteur will
do well to avoid cotton-growing dis
tricts In his mission of shaping public
opinion,

SOMEBODY'S BABY.
Written for Tho Tribune.
Two beautiful eyes of softest brown,
Whence a pure, sweet soul looks out;
Two witching dimples on either side
Of tho cherub rosc-bud mouth.
Golden hair like a halo grown
O'er the graceful baby head,
A princely spirit breaking forth
In the proud and sturdy tread.
Ho trustingly looks Into eyes above,
His father's his priest, his star
And I envy tho man who claims that
child
That I saw last night In tho car.

take these, and when you use them buy some more at the druggist's. A week later
the same conductor, while collecting Ins fare, said . " I used lliobe Tabulcs on gave
