An slated in theuoltinius of the JOURNAL
aome two or three weeks ago, we believ
ed Lincoln was tntitled to the next U. S.
Senator and that lion. David E. Thomps
oe, whs the logical man for that exalted
dignity. We adhere to that belief still,
while we are most emphatically opposed
to the republican doctrine of expansion
anc trusts, yet we believe Mr. Thompson
being a millionaire, and hence when he
ets into the Senate, the trusts and mon
opolies which are creations of rebuplian
istn, more especially of the present ad
ministration will have to pay more of
their hoarded and illgotlen wealth to buy
Mr. Thompson, in order to pass trust and
monopoly legislation.
Semtor Caffery, of Alabama, declared
in a speech on the floor of the senate last
week in opposition to the ratification of
the peace treaty (unless amended so aa to
prevent annexation) that if this govern
ment should undertake to control and
govern the Philippine Islands, as a colon
ial government, that the home govern
ment would have at 'least $275,000,000
more annual expenses than before the
war with Spain. The export trade of the
Islands, for any one' year all told,
amovnUto but $30,000,000- Thus the
home government would be short only
$2 15,000,000 'at toe' dose of the fiscal
year provided however, that we obtain
the f;iilire export trade. Can the United
States afford to give so much boot in the
trade? . Think of it How can sane men
think of annexation?
It must be admited by everyone who
have evar read or heard of "Bob" Inger
aol, that ha is a smart, je a brilliant
man In his chosen prffeasionaNawyer
but when he steps aside from his Henient
and goes on to the rostrum to proclaim

A myth; then it in. we have brought to

There is no feature of our times that should so alarm the patriot, nor
is there auy so well calculated to drive the well-meaning legislator to des
pair, as that which confronts us on all sides in the rapid concentration of
all the productive energies of the nation in the hands of overgrown corpor
ations or multiple corporations, called trusts; or where more solid combi
nations cannot be effected, by means of inter-corporate agreements for the
purpose of limiting comptition and controlling prices.
The process began with the means of transportation and intercommu
nicationnamely, the railroads, telegraph and telephones. In spite of the
elfart of the Federal Interstate Commerce law to check the tendency, it
has continued almost uninterruptedly, and promises to continue in the
future.
Indeed, the process of concentration of ownership and management has
proceeded much more rapidly since that law was passed than before.
Where purchases or leases could not be effected, traflc agreements have
been entered into which accomplish tiie purpose almost as effectively.
Where these agreements have been open and public, the commission has in
some instances interpesed a check, but such interruptions to the process
have only driven the promoters to more ingenious and secret devices to
1 evade the law.
1 It is no extravagance of despair to anticipate the time In the not dis-
tant future when the passenger and freight rates on every train traversing
i the country, when the charges for telegraph and telephone services in
I every state, and the ownership and control of every street car line and
suburban railroad shall be centered in one great office in the city of Mew
York, in ttie hands of one board of managers, and possibly in the hands of
a man who may have the genius and the power to control his fellows
It has invaded other fields with the power of a glacier and the rapidity
of a torrent One by one each of the great staples which form the neces
! saries of life is falling into the handsof its special syndicate, or trust, or
trade combine, which are but other names for a groop of men, dominated
by one man of superior force and genio, into whose single hand is concen
trated more power than any king possesses, and in comparison to whom
the robber barons of fudal ages were pigmies in their capacity for extortion
and oppression. ' Sa '
THE FEDERAL LAWS AREjV JWKRLESS TO REMEDY..
The anti-trust laws of the Federal Government have fallen powerless
before them. Constitutional restrictions have been interpreted by the
courts so as practically to make tbos. laws a dead letter, In deed, no per
iod of our history has witnessd so rapd and noxious a growth of trusts and
combines as the few years since tt? National Congress undertook to re
strain and restrict them. ''
These combines formed or organized since the Anti-Trust law was pass
ed by Congress in 1890, and controlled by a comparatively few men, who
control a capita,! of nearly three and a half billion of dollars, equal to 20
per cent of the entire welth of the scea millions of agricultural population
scattered over more than four und a half millions of farms, a capital more
than twice the aggregate of the entijfe circulating medium of the country.
Nor is this by any means the sufci of the trust and combine element in
the country. Hundreds of articles are governed in their price by secret
agreements which do not make tliei apperrance as legally organized com
panies. If you enquire carefully you will discover that you can scarcely
make a purchase in which the prices not dictated by a combination over
which the mercliant you deal with jhas no control
Each of these great trusts aims for the most part to control but
one staple, although some of themtreach out for many. The control of
the iron aod steel and of the coalfcds of the country is slowly drifting
toward a single center. As the orfaniaations grow more powerful, all re
lated industries will be combined i one control for each great class, as m
the case of iron and coal. 1
TIIE DEATH IpF COMPETITION.
Eren in the small retail tradifg of our cities the process of concentra
tion is only too apparent. Our cities no longer present the once familiar

Notice to Non-Resident Defendants.
The legislature.
The session of the legislature will be
one of the most exciting held for years.
The contest for United States senator
will be a warm one. Nationally there h
mor to interest our citizens than at auy
time since the great civil war. Every
man who thinks for himself and wants
his boys and girls to do the same should
have such a paper as the Semi-Weeklv'
State Journal in his family. That great
est of great wesUrn papers, published at
the state capitol, is more in touch wnn
the great musses of the people and the
questions of the hour than any of its con
temporaries, it is the true and aoie ex
ponent of western thought and enter,
prise. Its facilities for furnishing legis
lative news surpasses all other papers.
It is located on the ground and no matter
what paper you take at other times, dur
ing the legislature you should read the
Journal. Twii-e a week, it only costa
$1.00. Send $1.00 to the State Journil,
Lincoln, Neb., and you will never regret
it.
