An Alarming Growth of the Trust Iy.tem. etr York Herald. -Trusts are the nurseries of fraud ! This axiom of the law must have been in the mind of President Cleve land when he said in his recent mes sage: "4 is notorious th:Lt this competition (among domestic producers and manut facturers) is too often strangled by c'm bination, quite prevalent at this time and frequently calied trusts, which have for their object the regulation of the supply and price of commod'ties made and sold by members of the combina tion. The people can hardly hope for any consideration in the operation of these selfish schemes. * The ne cessity of combination to maintain the price of any comm.idity to the tarifl point furnishes proof that some one is willing to accept lower prices for such commodity, and that such prices are remunerative." It is quIte probable. however. that even President Cleveland had no idea how vast and far-reaching is this form of monopoly. A private trust is a pubL.c iniquity. and in many cases the trusts in the United States are the outgrowth of the protective tariff. A MONOPOLY OF MONOPOLIES. The trust system is a monopoly of monopolies. It is a combination of American manufacturers who are already barricaded against any cot petition from foreigners by a high protective tariff, and who, not satis fled ,with these advantages, conspire so to limit protection as to insure an exorbitant and fictitious price for their goods. The trust system puts the abso lute control of articles that are nec essaries of life in the grasp of a few very rich men. The trust tolerates no competition -no fair, open market. When a few powerful cor p)rati')ns form a trust& every othcr manufacturer who can n:ot be bullied or bought into a sur render of his mills and factories to these self-constituted dictators, is driven to bankruptcy and ruin by the freezing-out process-that is to say, the conspirators attack his trade by underselling him, putting goods on the market at a loss and sinking money by selling ;t ruinous rates. until the single competitor cen stand it no longer and is driven from the field. Of course, as soon as this is done up goes the price again, higher than ever, for now it is at the mercy of a monopoly. THE HEAtD DEVIL. The great Standard Oil Trust-the I most powerful and dangerous monop oly ever organized -is responsible for the trust system. The vast ag gregation of wealth---100,000,000 in t fifteen years-which this great corn- i pany has wrested from the petro leum industry by the iniqnitous help of the railroad trunk lines, the ease with which it has crushed and ruined < amall oil refiners, the success with which it has bribed Legislatures an-i: the Courts. stitiing investigatios anid punishment, and its increasing pros perity and absolute control of the petroleum industry, inspired itmita tors in other' branches of trade. Some of these newer trusts, notably< the dotton Seed Oil, have behind I them the power and influence of the Standard and its wealth. All are based upon tie Standard idea of1 monopolistic control. T'o suc'h an extent have these illegal combina . tions increased that there is now acarcely a branch of manufactures which bas not its organization fori setting aside the legitimate laws ofI Ktrade-the natural laws of supply and demand. The D)anae~r of;Trust and Monools C:~ Editorial in Nvic York JIkr<dd. Trrusts! They are the latest de- I velopment of the times and a serious menace to the prosperity of the peO-1 ple. No thoughtful American can watch -their increasing strength with-t out amazement or observe the mecth ods they employ without alarm. This tendency to combination on Lthe part of capitalists is a miatter of - s4eh supretme imnportaince and withal is prodnUctive of such serious conse quences to '-the greatest number,"' whose "greatest good'' is sacrificed for 4 the benefit of the few, that the Heral gives the subject a good (deal of its I space this morning, Representinii as we do the best interest of the mas es, and at the same time en couragoug all measures for the acqui sition of wealth except when they are dishonest or injurious to the~ publeic welfare, we call attention to a cond 7tion of affairs which must be mnod~I fled, if not radically changed. Ju;ng the latst ten years. more or less, large sums of monley have beenu pooled for the purpose of controlling a given product and arbitrarily fixing its market price. This combination. or trust. or' whalt not, hlas no0 commeOr cial significance or value unless it can break down all competition. its first step, therefore, is to unite a udoz en of the largest dealers, w:.ose ag-1 gregated capital is sufiicient for the purpose, and to crush out the hun Sdreds of smaller dealers by driving them out of business or into hank. ruptcy. By these means they become: masters of the situation.1 Whlen this has b)een done, let us1 say with oil. coal, tin. lead. rubber;1 aod a score or two of other indus t.ries, two consequlences make their appearance. First, the market has .been captured, prices can be arrang ed to suit the syndicate, the whole community is laid uinder tribute to a1 huge and 'inexorable monopoly, anid a few gentlemoen pile up collosal for tunes; second. smiall dealers who made a fair profit -and were on the wa to a competency are lashed back1 into the ranks of the working classes. No one cnn set up in business for himself. because this big monopoly will hammer his head the moment he exhibits any independence. and so the very spirit of iair plav in trade is violently driven out of existence. The enterprise of the many is de stroyed by the despotic hank account of a few. The rule in America has always been that every man hasopportunities, and can rise above the station in which he was born by making a wise use of them. That rule was our boast and pride. The tendency of this new state of affairs is to deprive him of those very opportunities and discour. sge any financial venture. It creates xn enormously rich class on the one sand and the poor classes on the >ther-t hat is to say, a moteyed ar stocracy, which is a nation's worst ,onceivable calamity, and the mass !s, who dare not compete for busi 3ess and who ultimately become sluggish and unambitious as are the ?opulations of the Continent of Eu "ope. All this is anti-republican and in enselv un-American. It is a grave and knotty problem, ut it can he solved by the common sense of the people, for the people are still king and can make the laws h ich all must obey. THEY WORE LONG HAIH.

THE GARDEN OF EDEN. t An Imaginative 'Writer Locates it in the Maunmee Valley of Ohio. From the Toledo Blade. The cradle of the human race is a mystery. From the Night of Ages to the present (lay men have searched for the long lost Paradise. The world has been searched over for some '7 traces of the Garden of Eden .Entbu. siasts have fought and toiled and died to find it. Historians have wan dered over the surface of the earth hunting in vain for it. Students have q blasted the ruins of ancient cities, k scaled the walls of ancient fortresses, U dug for clay tablets under hot burn- tl ing sands to find some traces of it. 1 One of the most pathetic passages in t all literature is that portion of the let- ti ter in which Christopher Columbus n announces to the King and Queen of f Spain the discovery of the gate to 0 the Garden of Eden. Even in mod- r ern times the famous explorer, Liv- a ingston, admitted that the secret of a his tireless activity and energy was j the fact that he expected and hoped to find the loeation ef the Garden of i Eden at the headwaters of the Nile. Strange it is that these modern cx plorers have passed by that garden j of the New World. the shores and is- li lands of lake Erie. In the light of F the recent discoveries of natural gas b on the shores of Lake Erie the study is. to say the least, an interesting b one. And if the Garden of Eden was tl not located where Toledo now stands h there is abundant proof thatr it ought a to have been. The Scriptural account of the early n home of Adam and Eve is doubly t interesting when the scene is laid in b the New World. And it located on this continent there is no spot which will conform to all theories and all h facts revealed, as well as the country along the great lakes. Consider Eden as the southwest shore or Lake Erie. The first state ment of Holy Writ is that "The Lord, God, planted a garden eastward in Eden." The beautiful islands of Lake Erie, still beautiful in spite of the depart- 2 ure of their ancient grandeur and glory, approaching even yet the de- 8 scriptions of the isles of the Blessed, must be considered as the "Garden in Eden." It would be here in primi tive days that the sacred trees would grow. "Every tree that is pleasant to th- sight and good for food, the u tree of life and the tree of knowledge c of good and evil." h In regard to the rivers mentioned is in the Biblical account of the geo- ti graphical location, the best students of the age have been compelled to h admit that they do not mean the riv ers of Asia, in the valleys of which the Garden of Eden has been sought for centuries in vain. For instance, a: the Euphrates river could not be the 0 famous river of that name now in ti Southwest Asia for many reasons. a T'he mere coincidence of the name counts for nothing at all. The word itt its original meaning signifies "broad," and if applied to tbe St. Lawrence River. the gateway to Lake b Erie and the Garden of Eden, it will b be found fitting in- every particular. si The four riyers mentioned must have i\ been the St. Mary's River, the De- e. troit and St. Claim Rivers, practically t one, the Niagara River and the St. Lawrence River. In no case can it be shown that these rivers, connect- e ing the Great Lakes, do not fulfil all 'I the requirements of the rivers of Para- is disc. "So He drove out the man, c: and He placed at tne east of the i~ Giarden of Eden cherubim and] a flaming sword which turned every way to keep the way of the tree of life." is the brief account which the Bible .;ives of the loss of Paradise. This "flaming sword" may have been~ the burning springs of natural gas fires which have now died out p)artially, after the lapse of countless ages, when there is no longer any necessity for keeping man away from a the historic spot. It is a matter of fact that Lake Erie is almost sur rounded by a belt of natural gas fires, t extendingr from Jlamestown, N. Y. c to P'ittsbewg, Pa., Toledo, 0., Port a, Huron, Mich. and Iletrolia, Canada. e Those who have seen the gas gush E out of the ground can understand they resemblance of a natural gas blaze a to a sword of flame. The first use of e the gas seems to have been to keep thte guilty pair from returning to c Eden. Those who have spent the hot and a sultry days of summer in the cool s andl refreshing breezes which fan the ~ Isle of Erie, Middle Bass and Put 14 in Bay. will unite in saying that ifs P'aradise was not located there it at least ought to have been-for it is no)thing more nor less than a beauti ful Garden of Eden at the present time. This theory is also substantiated by the traditions of the Indians, who w believe the cradle of the human race s to have been in the vicinity of the w Great Lakes. as well as by the works a of' the Mound Builders, who, in pre- ti historie times, erected monumenats all a over the valleys of the Ohio and Mis sissippi Rivers, demonstrating that the Star of Empire then, as ever in a the history of the world, moved west ward. Right he re is a point for the mod- n ern boomner. 'If he can demonstrate a that the Garden of Eden was really on the shores of Lake Erie, his for s tune will have been made. The new a lhntel at Put-in Bay, to cost $400,000, will be an assurel fact. Pilgrims will co~me from all over the world to see the cradle of the human race. Corner lots - in Toledo will bring fabulous prices. Real estate in the original Giarden of Eden will be at a c p)remium. The result is worth the trouble. Trhere is a wide field for v exnioraion. and scientific and go-n n~ ogical research. But even if the heory should not stand the test of he criticism of scientists and Bible tudents. the citizens of Toledo will mite in saying: "It is good to he C ere," in this land of natural gas, lose to the islands of lake Erie. in city where prosperity and progress FC oint the way to success.
