THE EOP 'S JOU VoL ~12.-NO. 4. PICKSNS, S. C., THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 20 ~~ .........., 192. ON no IAD A vUAD44 THIS ANTI-TRUST L,GXILATION The House Bill to Prohibit the Formation of Trusts and Mono polies. The bill introduced by Mr. V. J. Johnson to prohibit the formation of trusts and monopolies in this State, and which is a copy of the Ilogg law in Texas, came up for discussion in the House, and a motion was made to strike out the enacting words, which was afterwards withdrawn. In order to reach a test vote, the motion to strike out the enacting words was re nowed and the previous question was called, which forced a vote to be taken. ihe House refused to strike out the enacting words by a vote of 84 to 34, and the bill was left for further con sideration. The discussion was re portcd as follows Mr. Johnson, who Was the first to speak upon the bill, said that it, had t been shown by the special report of a the attorney general that the present C anti trust laws are practicalhy inIeffect- g ive and wholly inadequate to reniedy v the evils of trusts growing out of the 8 constant combination and aialgAia- n tion of rival interests for the sole pur pose of stifling competition. This re- " port has been made by the attorney t general after a most thorough and ex- a haustive examination and investiga- S tion in pursuance of the joint resoli- n tions directing thbe same. Th bill, al- n though voluminous, has 1-cen prepared P with the aid and advice of the attor- tI ney general, who by reason of his con- 9 nection with the matter is thoroughly tL familiar and conversant with the evils c and must necessarily be regarded as an th authority for a remedy. The bill has been prepared with great care, study and consideration, and every precaution has been taken against coming in conflict with the State or Federal constitution, and it simply provides against the format ion of trusts and combines to defeat and t[ prevent legitimate competition. No claim can be made that this bilt v will drive capital from the State for L( almost every State iii the Union now pl has anti-trust laws, and many of lhen a very drastic and sweeping in their pro- m visioii. It is very nocessary that we -q should have effective anti-trust legis- e latlon and restrict the heartless corpo- il rations when they attempt to extort ci money unjustly from tIhe great masses al of the people. Corporations have inaiy c. privileges that individuals (1o not have 11 and this bill is only intended for the rt protection of the people against unjust extortion. Now if those who are op- 10 posed to the passage of this bill are ti: sincere and just, and only want legiti- y mate profits why are they unwiling to il] launch out into the business and Com-l mercial wold upon their merits, and , compete with other like concerns for ti their just share of business? Merit T most invariably wins its just reward, n but these constant combines of rival il conceins are labelled from head to foot a with suspicion aud daiger, and the whole object is to practice unjusi. ex- tI tortion. The formation of trusts during the hi last few years have reached such a tl magnitude as to arouse an intereat to the dlanger of trusts throughout the ni whole civilized world. lUnge corpora- ni tion after corp~oration have consohrdat- a ed and then all the power andl influence ti of amlalgamnated wealth is utilized to 0 weave a conmpletc net work aroundl t every similar producing plant with the Ii evideint, purpose of either absorhing a the rival concerni or dIrivinig them from in the commercial field. The trusts have p increased and flourished under the '1 fostecring Care of the Republican ad- 1 miinistration until nearly all the ave- c nes of indlustry are being fed anid clothedl by thre trusts. t: The truists of this nation alone have I1 a capitaliz/ation that applroachies thne cii- , tiire volumre of metallic money in the whole wvorld ; they have n combliinedv capifal which almost if not (uite equals e all of the gold and silver used by the people of the entire world, and thus m armedl with such a plowerful conicenitra-i rin of wealth and~ capital they nimko ( war up)on similar compjetong comncerins andJ soon, sweep them f rom the comnmer- I cial field by absorption or di ving them I into bankruptcy. Andl then wvith no I competition to meet or iaw to restrict.a It, is thenr that the dangt.crouis feature of extortion is unb1)1idle~d to prey uploir t~he honest gotten gains of at helpless p~eople. If the numerous and constant com bines are riot for the sole purpose of extortion, why do they comim-ne? If they wailt to increase their capI iaI onr enlarge their lhants, no one could ob ject, to thbat ; this country is qutite larg.e enigh for all the increase or eiibirge nment, they may desire, that is legiti mate andl would increase thre ta x ble proplerty of the State and( give employ muent to others, but that is nrot the kind of increase they want. .They want to wamer their stork and absorb andt gobble up all competing amtI rival conerus that they may he free and~ unitrailmmeled ini their dlishonrest, ex tortion , uipon thet great, coinstiming put) lie. To show you the comlplete power and~ coiltrol of mionopolty and thre high hand ed way in which it is wielded, I will re fer you to thre great prints combine at .Fall River, lie maniuf'acturing cntre of America. They bounghit our fleecy staple a few years ago at 8 cents before they joinedl in the manuifacture of the cotton in to clothes and then sold the goods back to t~he Souithern jobbers at 3 cents per yard in 18985 alter going into the trust,. Gotton decclinied to -I v gencral to investivatc. The policy o D the State was settled by the constitu 3 tion in 1895. 3 lie declared that there is nothing ill 3 the bill to keep foreign capital out, of I the State. If capital dosen't want to aquiesc in the laws of a State, it should kee) out of the State. The farmers who have had tile price of their cotton seed reduced arbitrarily know whether or not trusts are vood things for the people. Ile didn't thik the Federal Coigress could reach the trusts as effectively as the States can. These trusts have never created have never built, a plant in the State and cannot be contributing to the taxes. Mr. Ashley wanted to know if the bill would not keep the farmers from orgamizing to control the price of cot. toll. Mr. Delruli explained that the farmers will be able to hold their cot ton. Air. It. IB. A. liobinson <o'posed the bill. We had bhlid out the olive bran ch to the people of the North and now since they have come here if we go to oppressing them it will be violating a trust-and he would sooner steal. The bill hatched up heie lately i s stained with persecution. not prosecution. Col. Robinsoni told a j >ke. A hald leaded boy got kickbc( y 6 a imulte. When ie recovered his consciousness lie asked his daddy, "6 Will it leave a scai?" The old llan replied, 41 Yes, you will never look plrettV againl, but you will have a 'urned sight, more Bense.'' Ie said the Legislature was Iixing to learn a hard lesson. Mr. Wiingo opposed the trusts and favored the bill. The Virgiinia-Caro lina Chemical company is buying il) plants in the State. How? By run nitg down the price of products, by forcing the little companies to the wall and thus buying them ill. The far mers will see the price of guano go up wlenl the Virginia-Carolina Chemical company gets control of the fertitizer manufacturing world. Mr. Webb opposed the bill for the reason that it prevents labor from b'eintw organized. The bill is too sweepin" it would prevent carpenters or other workmen from orgamizing to control the price of their I tbor. tie would vote for the bill if it could be so IImeinled that the labor organizitions could not be interlered with. Mr. Croft then spoke ill favor of the bill. In answer to Mr. Thomas lie said that competition is the life of trade. The Boston tea party incident showed what the people thought, of arbitrary methods of assessing commllolit ies. Ile then gavec a running account of the growth of corporate wealiti in this country. No nation oni he earth can now be coiiipaired to America inl wealt h. She exceded Britain in 1880. N ow she has more weaih tlian Nusitria, Iussia and Italy combined. The question is to prevent riches fromi as suuimg arrogance. The evil of the trust is that so great a crop of cotton seed cannot be con trolled by the fai mers, but is directed at the stroke of a peni of the chairman of a board of directors. Ile had ie cently had a case ngainst the trust which brouglit the facts to light. Iis client had offered seed for sale in Aiken and had been offered 11.1 cents; the client later went~ to Augusta and1( sohld for 21 cents, ie went back to Aiken and totld the A iken uman of his sate. T1hie Aik~en mill claimed a forfeiture of 300J tolns of seedl from the Augusta mill. The latter asked Mr. Croft's client for a release from the trade. As an honorable man his client agr'eed andl then came to Mr'. Croft to seek ie (tress in the law against trusts. Mr. Croft dleclaredl that his inivestigations had Iced him to see how the cotton seed crop of the State is controlledl here iln Columbia. IEach mill is atllowed a cer-. tain teri'ltor'y and1( a cer'tain pr'ice. Ther'e ar'e heavy forfeitures if they ex ceedl the limits pr'escribued. As to Feder'al legislationl, hie willed to God that somtinllg 'oi h e done, hut it seemis unprobabole~(. As to Mlr. Ashley's ar'ginnelnt that thle far'mers w~outld hot, be able to organize a trust, h10 said thait they woul never organiiiize anyway. Mr. Cr(2ioft madi~e a sptlndidh reply to the arguimenit that the( lbill w~oui keepi out caupitaul. Texas is niot, lamipered b~y the I logg law and in the oil welts of Texas is the one hope( for' success against Itie Standard Oil compatiny.

FIGHT AGAINST WINTHROP The Appropriatiolt Was Reduced $10,000 in the Lower House. The alpprpi)iatioln bill was pas1ed to its second real diig inl the Ilouse for the first titue inl teni or twelve years with out, any serious fight, being waged against State colleges, except t hit t the amout o iveni to Winthrop Coll'ge was redunced from $60,000 recommemiled by the committee of way)s and meais to 50),00l, wvhich is $,500 more than last year. 'lere wias some debate ont ait amenment to reduce the amnoutnit given to the South Carolina Collego from 82,000 to $22,000, Anld then again to $25,000, but the friends of the college were too strong for any reduction whatever to be made. Ir. Ashley talmt the South Car olint college might be as well rimu is iy other, but they aill qpled too mu111ch Iloniey. lie thought it Wts rid(iculioils to spenld *28,000 on two hudred boys. If1 he had the power he would give tihe South Unirelinla College to Caluuhlia alld tle Citadel to Charlestoi , atnd tell those cities to rnit theil. Mr. Ashley addel with ia sly wink that he wo ild turtin over the colored college to (r angebl~urg, too. .\Mr. A- hiey's amnendmetit fixed thei moimt at $25,000, but it wais defealed by a vote of '5 to :38. Theni the appropriation for Wimthlirop was taken up, which the comin uittee had piut t $60,000. Mr. Ashley said there was tio use to make a speech on this matter as the lIouse seemed benit on giving the col leges every ceit they asked for. Mr. Moses read a report from the Wiithrop authorities showing why r they asked for an increased appropria- t tiotn and what they proposed to (10 with the tmonley. The salaries t':ere are lower, said Mr. Moses, than in any other iinstitu tionm in the State. The expetnse there per capita ii lo.wVer thati at ainy other State insLitutiot. Ml r. .1 no. 1'. Thomas, .I r., one of the origintial trustees of Winthrop, said he was willing to take the recommenda tion of the ways and means committee, bit as otne of the best friends of that inistitultion, lie wanted to warn the trustees of W'intIhrop that they are re miss ini the collection of tuition fees. The perceitage of tuilion paid at Win throp is :7 while it is :27 per capita a' the Soith Caroliia college. Mr. Ihitce replied that Mtr. ThIotCts was isin formed its to the atmoutit, of tuition lees paid at the South Carolina college; however, the trustees of Witn throp have given evidence th it they appreciate certain re'orms are ieces sary and they will collect a larger pro portioi of these fees. In iillI of the State institutions boys are getting free tititioti whose par ents cai affol'd the expentse. Tle way, to work 1 change is to clanige the law omi that. subject. Int reply to Mr. Iatrlin he som1d that even i t lie farm had ieveri paid ex penses it was necessary t0 hiave this farm in order to get vegetables andI milk iti conistant (uantity and at mod erate prices. \Ir. Sin kler, who as chairman of the comi'ittee on education is a tiistee of Winthrop, declared that as a itrustee he was ever miiitful of* his dut ies as a legisa.or alnd lhe knows that, this appropritiom is necessary for its ex istence. T1hue Iilouse hiad beeni discussing NI r. Ashley's c$50,000t ametndment,. Mr. C. l0. llobinison offered a sublstitute to cut the adppirpriation to .313:i,500, the camount. applropr'iiated tis year.

Mr. .1no. 1. Thoinas, Jr., opposed lie bill. It is fouiled upon a pernicious iid erroneois principle. lie (,id not l'aim that trusts should not be re ulate(l. But capital cannot be pre entil( from making combinations. No late Legislature cill i prevent combi. ation. lie was d >ubtful if it is wise attimpt to so prevent them. But, it the (Ittly of every citizen to see that iy are properly reguilated. There is correct r iiciple of legislation for the Lite to regulate prices. The combi lition of railroads in to systeums has [t in an evil sense affected the peo. le, because the State has regulated ic rates. lIe doubted the truth of the lying that " C mipetition is the life of ade.'' Ile declarel that the elli ency of the service is increased with t size of the concerns. Whenever ercantile or manufacturing cstablish ents become Combined utitil they be. ine monop!)lies, then they should )e gulated. lie agreed that there are ils in the operations of the trusts, it they caninot be cured by grafting i our statute bo;k i laws taken bodily om the statute hooks of Texas. I Ie .en attacked the bill in some of its 'ovisiols, particularly the section pre mting the organzation of companies control the sale of patents and itented articles. This would lreVent company from being organized to aumillfactu.te a patcuted Cottol planter, c. Ile dl not believe that, when er ''fo eign capital '' is referred to legislation they should make tihe y, " don't drive fore;gn capital vay," but he believes that the foreign pital should be subiec', to regulations. OWever, there should be a bill to cor ct a specific evil and not to generalize. Mr. M. L. Smith, of Kershaw, f'o wed Mr. Thomas. The people of e State had in 1851 elected their isest men to frame a constitution for e State. That constitutionL makes it andatory upon the General Assem y to pass laws to prevent the forma m of trusts, combinations of capit al. he coistitution says '' shall." It is t in the organic law of the law of ic State to -' regulat-," as Mr. Them arguted, but to " prevent." M'. Smith thenr vcit on to say that 10 law now on the statute books is in olation of the interstate comnerce w, and will some day be wiped off ic statute booktt. The anti-trust laws in 33 States aire o inore radical than this pr'oposedl ceasure. Th'Iere is needl for propcir Itl-trust laws. ie dleclared that if uis kind of law would keep capital out [the State, why (does Texas hold on the Ilogg law? TIhe bill allows one irm or one corporation tu unite with inther, priovidiung t~he combinationi is ot for the purpose of controlling r'ices andiu driiv ing out competitor<. hat is what the bi'.1 socks to prohibit. tis a question of fact to be0 passed up ii by3 a jury3. The coinstitutioii gives the i'ight, to ic Legislature to take away the cor orate rights of companies violating lIre laws of the State. lIe was followed biy Mr'.
