——— €OMBINED CAPITAL NECESSARY. Senator Fairbanks, vice-presidential candidate, repeats this stale old driv- ek: “The develcpment of our indus- tries and the expansion of our com- merce have made combinations of capital necessary’. This language is always that of the friend and apolo- gist of trusts, aud ro trust need ever be afraid to meet such a fellow in the dark, even if it is entirely defense- less. But in this case the language has more than ordinary significance. because it comes from the duly ac credited voice of the administration, present and_ prospective, and may therefore be accepted as the admin- istration’s attitude towards trusts, leaving the people in no doubt about what to expect in this direction. The “necessary combinations of capital” are private mongpolies from start to finish. They are organized for no purpose but to monopolize the industry each is created to absarh. Destroy the hope of monopolization and there would be nosuch “combina- tions of capital” as exist now. If these things, baleful as they are in all re- spects, are necessary to “the develop: ment of our industries and expansion ot our commerce” we better have no such development or expansion. But that trusts are uot necessary to the expansion is proven by the fact that our industries and commerce have al- ways had a good, healthy growth from the start and did not require the fertilization of private monopoly to make them grow natvrally and strong. But asa matter of fact, the com- hinatiors of capital have devel ped industry only as a means to their own ends, which are aggression, extor- lion, and the absorption of wealth that industry cr es. And they have not expanded commerce at all! What is meant by expansion of commerce? | The exportation of more manufac- tured articles than formerly. For in Lhe exports of raw products it is not med that combinations of capital Aud whatever rger exports € have cut any figure. credit attaches to our of manufactures belongs, Mot Lo capi- talistic combinations, but to the pa- tienee, the generosity and self-sacri- fice of the mass of our people! They pay prices for the manufactured ar- ticles they consume that are so profit; able to combined ¢: ul thet iv is thereby supplied, free uf cost, with ammunition to fight the battles of trade abroad and to make its con- quests there, And the wonder is that its con- quests are not greater than they are. Buttressed by monopoly at home and protected from competition from abroad by an unscalable tariff wall, a commercial army invading foreign lands never had such a vantage ground to fight upon, and under the circumstances its victories are in nificant, and worth vastly less than the price our people pay for them, Tt is exasperating to F., 8S. & MH. to see combinatidus of capital getting credit for achievements accomplished more by our farmers than by any other class, and the cost of which they, in the last analysis, pay the whole of. And it is none the Jess exaspe ing because farmers play their part so willingly, and so cheerfully see the credit belonging to themselvse given to their oppressors. ‘The situation is not clearly understood by them, but it will be, in the fullness of time, and | then it will be speedily amended.

A recent number of The Electrical Review has an interesting article entitled “Lhe Telephone in the Wil- derness”, and it describes in detail how the “phone” is used in extensive Jumbering operations on the Pacific coast and elsewhere, says Farm, Stock and Home. It shows the ease with which a single company with several logging camps and mills widely separ- ated can be easily managed from a central office by means of wiresstrung from tree to tree thru the forest. The results of a day’s work at the various mills and camps may be known’at headquarters every night, and by messengers that snows or floods can- not resist nor delay. Incipient log jams are often discovered and preven- ted from becoming serious by phoning for aid thru telephone attached to trees along water courses. Snow- bound logging camps cannot be cut off from the outside as they often were before the telephone was em- ployed. These and many other ad- vantages are referred to, all of which are great money savers withal. Many | a rural community found that it, too, 1s quite as mush advantaged by the velephone as lumber camps can be, and as a consequence such commun- ities are rapidly becoming more pumerons, and the feeling is growing inthe farm family that to be off a telephone line, or denied telephonic PROCEEDINGS Of the Township Board of the Town- ship of Grand Rapids, Minnesota.- An adjourned meeting of the board of sup- ervisors of the townsHip of Grand Rapids, Itasca county, Minnesota. was held at the O.
