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 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.
