THE ST. JOHNS REVIEW BY A. W. MARKLE Published Bvery Friday At 117 West Burlington Strcot. Tint Ritviitw Is entered at post office In Saint Tohns, Oregon, ns mail matter of the second' class under the Act of Con rc9S of March 3, 1879. Offlclnl Nwipper of th City of U Jotm. Subscription prlco $1.00 par year. Mr. R. C. Stokes, in view of the fact that we have advocated a unity or consolidation of the various churches, asks why this idea bo not carried torlnor so as to embrace n consolidation of the different stores, in an article published last week. I here is a considerable difference between commercialism and rcliirion. In the former there can bo compe tition and monopoly, while in the latter there cannot. Few make any endeavor lo ho more reliKious than his neighbor, winlo in competition one vies with the other to make the irreat est success of his business. Therefore, while there is no an parent reason for uniting under one church edifice, there are rea Kons why business men do not care to amalgamate. Taking our own nnsineas men lor illus tration, as Mr. Stokes has done, iiioy Know 11 would lie more economical to unite in one large store, yet they prefer not to do so. Why? Hecause it is the nature of normal man to be in dependent and not bo compelled to rely upon others to manago business. He would sooner pad die his own canoe or fly his own kite with his own efforts than make oen more money by form ing a monopoly and incurring the dangor of disagreement among Hie owners. The big interests. however, have found that it nays to co-oporato and consolidate, nonce wo have the tobacco trust, the steel trust and various other triiBta, which are in reality co operative concerns. And, strange to say, because they have done this very thing that Mr. Stokes so earnestly advocates, the public is far from satisfied, and the government is dissolve thorn. If those combines are not good in big business. why would they lie good in smaller oiiok? Mr. Stokes asks if our people "would sit idly ny it undo Sam should onon another post ollice in St. Johns and then raise the postago lo three cent, and by and by another and again raise the price of stamps." If Undo Sam did not huvo the monopoly ho enjoys on the postal businoss wo daro say that another post oiiico in bt, Johns would result in the reduction of the present rate oi postago instead ot an in urease. As a matter of fact com petition NIsVrcil raise tho price of a product: tho monopoly which Mr. Stokos advocates would do that. Do you believe for one minute that if all the stores in St. Johns should combine that it would result in aloweringof pri cos? No, of coiimo not. T hov would benefit by the saving, not tho puiilic. liig misinoas duos not consolidate for the benefit of tho consumers, neither would smallor businoss. Commercial competition over lowers tho price 10 1110 consumer, and monopoly novor. And is not this vast waste of competition that tho Socialists so greatly deplore more of a myth than anything else? Tho extra labor, boat, light, rent, etc.. nociMimry to competition is all bononeinl to some few, and any tiling that is boiieliclal cannot bo termod waste. In monopoly only a vary low receive benefit. It is man's nature to be "his own boss." Ho would rat hot make lues by havinga little busi noun of his own thsn by working for some ono also, and unless ho needs a partner for financial rou sons, he would sooner "go it Wtafcu get your whftt will yisix. do With it P 1'ou not nhonri on what von saw, not on whnt vtu onrn.
