Proclaim, if you care to, that the body politic is i1l with a complication of dangerous diseases. We agree. But it you call the body politic & corpse we shall make of you another. Late Events Bewlldering. Let us have patience with ourselves. Our national experience of late has been so bewildering thut it is no wonder it our minds are a bit unsteady. Our thoughts of national duty, our creeds, even, have, since Just before the Spanish war, been shifting like a kaleides~ope. A forelgner observing | this might' be reminded of the footnote on l the weekly church notice slip in a certain very advanced church, reading like a rail- way time table, ‘“‘Doctrines change without notice. | The people who think the future of this i country wholly dark seem to view "imperi- | alism” and the trusts as the two blackest thunder clouds in the sky. In this they are probably right. If it can be shown that even these phenomena, troublous, threat- ening and obstinate as they are, may quite subject to wossibly evolve in & manner to leave the republic intact, free, the home of a happy people, and the best government on earth, we may for the present dismiss the minor infelicities that have been mentioned en- tirely from our view. Let us then examine calmly those two arch dragon beldly up to them, look into their structure d ascertain if we can what their evolution is likely to be. Let us first deal in this way with “imperialism.” Within the last few years, the whole world knows, the United States has become possessed of a number of island territories, each bearing a numerous population unlike that existing in any part of the old United States, these territories all lylng at a con- siderable remove from the former United ditions may be quite as forbidding as the | i let us walk | Porto Rico an! Luzon each an independent state Iike Cuba, under a United States pro- tectorate. Many did mot think this likely in the case of Cuba, but it was denme. The same outcome is certainly among the p ,Mblllltl for the other two. Some vould |regard such independence on the part of |the lands named unfortunate for them and | also for us, but those who most dread ex- | pansion would certainly be relleved of their | principal mental distress were they sure that ali the bodies politic we took from | Spain were soon to be tree and independent states, Another conceivable event i that Porto Rico and the Philippine archipelago, fol- lowing the example of Hawall rather than |that of Cuba, remain under the flag, grad- uating, plece by plece, as one community | after another is found fit, into territories and then Into states under our constitu- | tion. Contrary to a common thought, the ! tupreme court's decision does not at all preciude this. A joint resolution by eon- gress can impart territoriality or statehood to a half foreign populace like Luzon, or' to one fully forelgn as Hawail was, just as caslly as it can to one under the constitu- tion at the start. Porto Rico or Luzon may one day become a state under the fi Cuba has become one out from under the flag. Objections Are Fanefful. Many, we know, would deprecate the ex- pansion of our country in thia form, how- ever conservative, but most of the objec- tions which they make to expansion in this form, provided it is conservative, seem to me more fanciful than solid. Particularly | ought not expansion of that sort to be be- | walled should the peoples named conelude of their own accord to cast in their lot with us; a determination not at all unlikely If they are assured that in case of such cholce they would be our genulne co-citizens and not our subjects. It bas = 4 tn me that had our dealing with those populations been {a little more clever they would have wished to be of us and no semblance of coercion would have been necessary. It Is quite within our power even now to exhibit to them such a spirit that none will ever wish to haul down our flag from over their heads. 1 cannot think that it would ruin this re- public to annex remote peoples upon the basis thus suggested. The principal ob- jection seems to/be the danger that un- desirable forelgners will move in and com- pete with working men here. That would certainly be a misfortune, but the fear does not seem to me well grounded. England has ‘mot suffered so. Millions of negroes, Malays and people of other unintelligent stocks are barred by nothing but the trifiing expense of the stéerage from flock- ing to Great Britain to displace British la- bor. They have a perfect legal right to settle In England, but they do not. Some Chinese and Japanese already resident in the Philippines might come to the states, causing a ripple of unhealthy competition for a time, but this could not last long unless those peoples were admitted to the Philippines from China and Japan, 'which of course could be prevented just as their admission to California ls prevented at present. What makes the shoe pinch with many Do doubt js the certainty that at best in parts of Hawall and In the cenmtral and wouth of the Philippines the form of im- perialism must last years, the peqgples there being too barbarous to realize for a long time any promise of self-government held out to them. They will have to re- main, directly or indirectly, under congres- slonal rule, with such constitutional guar- antees as congress may think it wise to establish. It is thought that such a re- ! gime must mean tyranny there and the | vitiation of democracy at home. lies may raise the selling prices of their commodities above the level where compe- tition would place those prices; they may to some extent vassalize society; and they mny retard inventiveness and inventions. 1 contend that these are real and not fmaginary dangers, which need and must bave attention from thoughtful eitizens That such perils are exaggerated through ignorance or for political ends gives no right to didmiss them as not perils at all, any more than the reality of the peril Justifies one in supposing it mortal. The | production and distribution of goods under monopoly may, and unless looked after will, prove indefinitely disastrous. My be- lief is that monopolistic agencies will in the course of time be effectively looked after, their mischiefs abated and the agen- cles themselves turned into public bless- ings. You can never suppress them and you ought mot to desire to. T suppose it open to mo doubt that mo- nopolistic methods have greatly cheapened and are greatly cheapening the produc- {tlon of goods and that their tendency is to make the amaseing of wealth by the na- tion as a whole more rapid and voluhinous than it would be under the old-fashioned competition. But, while monopoly works good In the creation of wealth, unless looked after it tends to work i1l in the dis- tribution of wealth, piling up riches in too few hands. Unless there fs oversight or regulation, the prices of goods to con- umers will, other conditions being the me in the two cases, range higher if production occurs under monopoly than if it occurs under competition. The excess maturally goes into the pockets of syndi- cate stockholders at the expense of con- sumers. If all consumers were at the same time syndicate stockholders and all syndi- cates equally strong, the losses would offset each other, but, &8s & great many con- wumers cannot combine, losses due to the higher prices enforced by syndicates are not aii ihus offsst, but the portion of them falling upon unsyndicated comsumers h to be permanently borne by such, so that those higher prices set up a special tend- ency, unknown before trusts came, to en- rich one class and to impoverish another. Remedy is Not Difficult. But nothing is easier than for soclety to counteract this tendency and it Is sure to do so the moment the real situation is understood. Were there created by con- gressional act a just, able, non-partisan board or bureau with the authority and the duty, in the case of any trust, (1) to as- certain once a year by just appralsal and to publish the actual value of that trus property, (2) to compare that with the fa: value of its stock and to publish” the re- sults, and (3) to ascertain by an examina- tion of accounts, and to publish its gross and its net earnings, the tendency would be through the mere operation of public opinion to prevent both profits and prices from becoming extortionate. Quite possi- bly no further remedy would ever be needed. It is distinctly concelvable that, under the silent regulatfon of such pub- licity, monopoly production would go on creating wealth with unprecedented rapld- fty and in unprecedented volume, the wealth getting for ftself a distribution ne less just, no leas democratic than that to which we are accustomed when old-time competition was at its height. Should a further corrective be required, a system of taxing syndicate businesses could easily be enforced which could not fail to effect essentlal justice. Monopoly prices, like competitive prices, are subject to & law, only the law governing monopoly prices is a different law—the law of the tolerance of the market, to the effect that when the prices of a commodity have risen to a given notch, charging more adds noth- ing to profits, what you gain on given epirit of early feudallsm; but they had thie This agency of selfishness, thia mechan- leal force for the democratic and equitable distribution of wealth, will not, I belleve, be left to work alone. Hardening and deadening as the influence of great wealth on character usually is, I look to see arise, in the course of time, from among the wealthiest themselves, armies of chivalrous men and women, with all exemplary ardor for humanity, who will gladly use their wealth in humanity's bebalf to beat down ‘wrongs, to tear off common men's fetters, to 1ift the weights and remove the clogs and obstacles which now hinder the noble army of the fortuneless from getting on. Benja- min Kidd has well reminded us that philan- thropy and not force led long ago in the entranchisement of the third estate. The vast_arbitrary power of feudalism and of royalty gave way not so much because overwhelmed by the rising might of the common people as because of enrichment in human character. Kindly feeling between men extended to so many members of the privileged classes that these classes could no longer present a solid front. The power- holding orders in France at the great revo- lution would have continued to hold thelr own had they still possessed the savage no longer, large numbers of them being, as Michelet says, “at once the heirs and the enemies of their own cause.” Educated in the generous ideas of,the time, they ap- plauded that marvelous resuscitation of mankind and offered up prayers for it even though it cost their ruin. As thls old teudalism of military power was dissolved by enriched character involving regard for fortuneless men, so, I predict, will the new feudalism of wealth be dissolved.

One Effect of Monopoly. When a line of production is absolutely subject to a single control, the manage- ment is little tempted to introduce new machinery, even it the new is known to be superior. In fact, the temptation is the other way. To put in the new machinery means lessened profits this year. It will be the same next year, and the next. Like any other sinner, the manager waits in vain for a more convenlent season. Under competi- Orchard & Wilhelm Carpet Co. 1314-1416-1418 Douglas tion the improved geir would have to be put in, no matter what its effect on profits the first year; for, If the old were contin- ued, mills with the new, producing more cheaply, would supply the market, driving the conservative mill entirely out of the business. But, strict monopoly prevailing, there s no competing plant and hence no pressure on you to use up-to-date means of production. Inevitable results are (1) that monopoly falls of dolng Its best even as a wealth producer, and (2) that public mentality in the direction of inventiveness to some ex- tent falls off for lack of its old spur. To this last arraignment the advocates of the trust system can reply only (1) that syn- | 3% dicate industry, even if it does not beget wealth as rapldly as itself would do but for the friction spoken of, still turns it out never so much more rapidly than competi- tive Industry ever did or ever could; and (2) that while this new order of production may unfortunately check that peculiar form of intelligence known as inventiveness, it must at the same time, by vastly multiply- ing the means of education, reading, travel, reflection and research, incalculably re- dound to the intellectual and aesthetic ele- vation of the race and the advancement of civilization.

It is easy to see that when prices in any line are up to the toler- ance of the market, if the state lays a tax on the business the business must pay this; it cannot possibly relieve itself of the tax; the tax cannot be thrown on the consumer by increasing the price. Therefore the public can, at any time, take over, in the way of a tax, any part it pleases of the advance which monopoly prices exhibit over what competitive prices would probably be time. emboldens me to belleve that the earth is | not golng to cave in right away.
