FEBRUARY 24, IS9G. Control of Natural Monopolies. The average reader will be very likely to agree with our contributor, Mr. Bul lock, that the language quoted from Judge Brown is of peculiar significance. Coming from a member of the bench of our highest judicial tribunal, and ad dressed to a class of men who are more than likely to influence the legislation of the near future, such language is clearly suggestive as to the drift of public opin ion. Indeed evidences of the fact that there is a general awaking of the public conscience in relation to corporate monopolies are rapidly multiplying on on every hand. A recent number of Urn Literary Digest informs us that in Chicago ono of the x principal street railway magnates is out in a memorial addressed to tho mayor squarely fa\ ring an absolute municipal control and limited municipal ownership r of tho entire street railway •; stem of that city. The plan there proposed is r for the city to own absolutely the track, polos, wires and all that is attached to 1 tholand: butthut the cars are to be owned - and operated by private corporations and ;; individual:-, ;ili cars to bo licensed by the city. i- Only a few days ago Albert Shaw, the noted apostle of municipal reform, ap peared before a legislative conmitteo in New York city and squat ly advocated '• tho selling of all franchises to the high est bidder at public auction, and that in support of hi- position Mr. Shaw cited the experience of New Orleans, the li municipal authorities of which not long ago sold a street railway franchise for ilie comfortable sum of £700,000. Two | f the states-—Missouri and New York — have already provided by general stat.no for sale to tho highest bidder at public auction of all special privileges to use or a occupy tho public >treots. On the whole, it seems cntiroly safe to t predict that long before the cl iso of the present century the farce of American t. public sentiment will be every where -uch that n municipal body or board will find '• it either politic or safe to continue the do nation of franchises. Ileal Functions of Gove- nraent. The article entitled "Society and the State," to bo found in another column, suggests far more than it discloses. Our ] contributor is clearly right in saying that , society is a natural organism, while the " state is an artificial mechanism. We may add that former is a natural growth, while the latter is merely au arbitrary j creation. The one is God-made, the other man made. Society, in the br-oa lest and best ] acceptation of that much abused term, is a natural, legitimate growth—growth 1 that is governed by the same immutable law which binds the planets in their divinely appointed courses—a law that is tlie same at the equator as at the poles, the same on the meridian of Washington or Greenwich as on that of Constan tinople or St. Petersburg. State organ ization is desirable just so far as it coincides with that lawof natural growl h. • but no further. Anything short of such - coincidence is anarchy. Anything be yond more coincidence is paternalism, . which is really no more desirable than - | anarchy Itself, u Mr. Gro-by evidently belongs to tlio steadily widening circle of those who be lieve that "the American people are -of fering from in hercnt vice of all five j governments—tho vice of too logis • | iation." ! Be that, however, as it may. lie has in vited, or rather provoked, a discussion which is likely to be productive of good. He has manifestly done some close think ? ing on the topic about which ho writes. It is equally manifest that he posseses the courage of his convict lons. Goal Slocks Not in Favor. From the Philadelphia Stockholder. The coalers are out of favor. Reports ~ concerning tho trade art- not oncourag j ing. and legislative attacks on the eom- I binution are beginning to oxei t a do pre.- *- ! ing Inlluenco. It is quite true that • (dealings in them are not large a fait ! indicating that holder- are as \et not I disposed to lot g.. Hut some of the [ in >ro far-sighted are beginning to upprc - a date the possibilities in niiiin etioii with j the electrical development as they ma\ ; bear on anthracite coal carriers. The j mines are valuable, and probably will be I valuable always: the carriers, however. J which depend upon coal tonnage for ! profit are in a less satisfactory position. it is understood 1 ii:it n combination of the strongest capitalists in this country has been formed to acquire the active principle of coal direct, place it on wires, anddistrihute it widely, and at compara tively nominal cost, for heating, lighting and power purposes. This seemingly makes way for a revolution in the posi tion of the coal carrying roads. These gentlemen are slow to take hold of any project not. promising from the start success—a fact borne in upon some i holders of the coalers. LIVE QUESTIONS. A Series :f Articles Contributed to Thtuo Columns Ly Advanced Thinkers* NUMBER IV.—: \XTI;TY AND THE STATE. An err. r prolific of evil consequences io Kocit ty and also to the stato is tlio failuio to distinguish the ono from tho other. Tho tendency to confound them may bo duo to the fact that tho stato com prises tho snine individuals as those composing society, and is strengthened, no doubt, "by tho manner in which popular knowledge or social progress in tho past is chiefly acquired—namely, through the study of histories devoted for tho most part to a narration of tho riso and fall of states. Nor is tho error confined to merely vulgar opinion. Students of sociology mo subject to its influence. Even so ablo and analytical a. thinker as Herbert Epciicer speaks of the stato as "society in its corporate capacity," and says that "political speculation, which sets out with tho "assumption that tho stato has, in all cases, the same naturo, must, end in profoundly erroneous con clusions," implying that tho nature of tho state changes as society advances, being merely a lundo of social action no less natural than society itself. To this misconception of tho real na ture of tho stato is largely due that practical disregard of the limits of state duties of which Mr. Spencer himself justly complains. Society is a natural organism ; tho state, an artificial mech anism. The former is in noway depend out upon tho will of man for its exist ence or progress, which are but tho ag gregates of individual being and ad vancement ; its development is subject to the universal law of evolution. The state, on tho other hand, is entirely tho result of man's will; it is established and maintained by him, and, unless for reasons sufficient to warrant his action, without authority entitling it to respect. A ch-.sr conception of titoso reasons, of that warrant and authority, would greatly simplify this inquiry. It is plain enough, however, that there must bo sonio urgent reason, amounting to n ne cessity, to warrant the compulsory ac tion which gives rise to tho state, and through which it makes its existence known and felt. We talk of self govern ment; wo do not, however, govern our selves, but each other. With respect to an}' one man tho action of tho state is but the action of other men, which is none the le.;s trno when they compel him to contribute to tho support of that power which they use to coerce him. Time has I t en w hen government was administer'(l in conformity to tho will of one man, who might, indeed and in truth say, "I am the . (ate." From tho rule of an individual wo havo advanced to that of a majority, tho only advan tage gained thereby being tho proba bility of a wiser mo of power. Wisdom and power havo been styled the attri butes of sov- r* g.niv, but il would be in teresting to know with how little wis dom a government could maintain it self, provided only it had sufficient pow er. The e;-;-. ntial element of govern ment is power, but good government consists in its just unci efficient use, not only as regards the manner cf ac complishing tho legitimate ends for which it is maintained, but also in 10- spect to methods of maintaining it. There has doubt k ; been in every age at least one man of so great integrity and wisdom thut. given the requisite power, ho would havo maintained a bettor government than any majority of his time could ever have agreed upon, and, having such power, any man would have tho right to maintain a just govern ment, even in opposition to any major ity, no matter how great, advocating au unjust government. Lot us. then, conceive of a stato in which somo man has absolute control of tho civil power, which ho uses only for legitimate purposes, and always uses efficient ly. Such a state would approach more nearly to \ ri ;tiou than any tho world has ever ; en or is likely soon to see, and yet how clear it is that the ac tion of such a state would bo in no proper sense tho action of society, whose members might or might not approve tho government to which they were sub jected. But instead of ono man exercising tho sovereign power, lot tho number bo increased to two or more, to a majority even of the members of society, and yet their relation to the state and to society would in no w ay differ from that of tho ono man ; nor would the relation of tho stato to society be changed from what it was under the rulo of ono man. But by what authority is any ono man or any majority of men warranted in as suming to control and direct tho con duct of members of society, at the same time compelling them to contribute to tlio support of the power necessary to such control? It is idle to talk of a so cial "contract," whereby society as a whole surrenders certain natural rights in exchange; for tho advantages of civil government. If it were possiblo for such a contract to he made, it would havo to be renew ed every hour, for it could have no binding force upon a man horn after it was made. Even the maxim that gov ernments dc rive their just powt rs from the consent of tho governed is not true in the sense that "consent" or "agree ni< nt'' can affect the justice of any act of government. It is clear that any one man has no right to coerce or interfere with the conduct of another, except in self deft n. "—that is, to protect himself in the enjoyment of some natural light. It is no less clear that increasing the number of men cannot change the na ture of their individual rights in that regard. If each individual of u majori ty, never so great, has no right to co erce a member of society, they cannot all together have that right; a million times zero is bur zero still. The rights of a majority consist only of tho rights of the individuals composing it. Tho right of action by the state must ho traced to and depend upon individual right. Individuals, not as members of so- ciety, nor acting primarily for the bene fit of society as a whole, but in their individual capacities, for their own in terest, form a body corporate, to the support of which, in order that its pow er may bo supreme, they compel all the members of society to contribute. This incorporation constitutes the state, which may indeed bo called "society in its corporate capacity," but is in no sense tlio result of voluntary action on the part of all tho members of society, being rather tho method adopted by cer tain members for the control of all. The majority, in power and intlueuco, of this corporato body naino its directors, who, through the enactment, interpretation and execution of laws, manage its af fairs. For this body, the state, to un dertake any enterprise or to do any act not necessary to tho accomplishment of legitimate ends, which must of them- j selves bo so necessary as to warrant, the compulsory organization and mainte- ' nance of tho state, is for the latter to ! abuse its power; and no mat tor how beneficial to society tho particular un dertaking or act might be, its perform ance should be left to some other agdi cy than that of tho state. Correct solu- I tion of industrial, social and so called government problems depends upon a j clear and definite conception of the just warrant for maintaining civil power and of tho purposes to which its use should bo limite d. That warrant and those purposes remain at all times and everywhoro tho same, under all forms of government and in all stages of so- i ciety. JOIIN SHERWIN CROSBY. Kansas City. IS UMBER V. —ENLARGEMENT OF GOVERN ME *. TAL F U NOTIONS. In the current number of The Arena Prefer .- or Ely asks and answers the live question, "Should fcho government con trol tl : 1< raph?" Qisamwc r, which ! is squarely in llio affirmative, is strong ly supported by an article from the very able pen of Judgo Walter Clark of the supremo court of North Carolina, in which tho latter meets and overcomes every objection seemingly which can be urged against tho constitutionality of such public control. Jndgo Clark plants himself on tho act of congress of 1860, chapter 230, and tho opinion of Chief Justice Waito in the case of Pensacola j mi us Telegraph company, 90 U. S. I. He also quotes sparingly from an address deliver d to the graduating class of Yale Law school June 24, 1895, by Judge Brown of the United States su- ! preino court, and published as tho lead ing article in Tho Forum for August, 1895. To my mind tho reasoning of j Judge Brown is unanswerable and con- | elusive, and I therefore reproduce bis exact words on that occasion, thus: I "If tho govcti nient maybe safely in trusted with tho transmission of our letters and papers, I see no reason why it may not also be intrusted with tho transmission of our tele grams and par eels, as is almost universally tho case ; in Europe, or of our passengers and j freight (through a stato ownership of | railways), as in Germany, France, Aus- j tiia, Sweden and Norway. If the state | owns its highways/why may it not also own its railways? If a municipality owns its streets and keeps them paved, sewered and cleaned, why may it not also light them, water them and trans- j port its citizens over them, so far as j such transportation involves a monopoly j of their uso? Indeed, wherever the j proposed business is of a public or semi- | public character and requires special privileges from the state or a partial delegation of governmental powers— such, for instance, as tho condemnation of land, or a special use or disturbance j of tho streets for tho laying of rails, j pipes or wires—there would seem to be no sound roa-on why such franchises, which arc for tho supposed benefit of the public, should not be exercised directly by the public. fcuc!i at least is the tend ency of modern legislation in nearly ev ery civilized country but our own, whoro great corporate interests, by put ting pv< mineutly forward tho dangers of paternalism and socialism, have suc ceeded in securing franchises which properly belong to the public. "Tho fear, too, that these monopolies may bo used for political purposes has hitherto proved an insuperable objection to their exercise by tho state, but the development of civil service reform has been so rapid and satisfactory that its introduction into this new field of use fulness would follow as a matter of course and would obviate the most for midable difficulty in the way of the proposed change. "Should tho assumption of these nat ural opportunities by foreign states and municipalities prove as successful as they now promise, tho question which i will confront the legislators of the ! twentieth century will be, not whether these extensions of governmental func tions nro socialistic in their tendencies, but how long this country can afford to lag behind others which wo have been taught to look upon as conservative and inert.'' In all thoroughly well informed cir cles it goes without saying that Judge Brown is among the most conservative federal judges, yet there is no mistaking the significance of the above language, and it may be accepted as a fair indica tion of tho present trend of judicial opinion. GEORGE BULLOCK. ;t. Louis, December, 1895. Labor Savins; Machinery. Every day more men are forced out of work by machinery. The machinery produces what tluy formerly did, but Ibe men remain to fco provided for, and every year matters are growing worse. Just so long as all that machinery and everything which it produces are con trolled by monopoly, workingmen will stand at the door of the trusts begging for employment. This country has out grown tho wage system, but the men ure still here, clamoring for the work which machinery dop:ives them of, while capital, by controlling that ma chinery ami its product, holds the upper band. —Commonwealth.
