It would boa Bre.it assistance to the listeners to itntl truat speeches and readera of anti-truat editorials if they know what a "truat" ia and where the "trtista nie to be found." At present there ia a remarkable di versity of opinion reeardiiiL' this matter. Senator llamia eaya ho "does not believe tlieru ia etich a thin? na a truat in the United Statea." Most men will deem Hub altogether too aweoping a itatomeiit. Some o his frienda will scarcely under. etHiul what he meaiiB. Some of hiu op. rontiiiH nnderatnnil him tu menu that there are no longer any monopoly com uinoa whieh have what a lawyer would wll a "truat" form of organization. That Is indeed the eaae. Corporaliona wliieh desire unity of control no longer trauafer diclr iutereata to gome other corporation which neta iim truatee for all and man aKfH the n f I'.t 1 r b of all. Corporations consolidate now, whore thev once formed a"liust." lVnple do not generally use the word 'fiat" in ita legal aense. Many mean jjylta large industrial eoiiimwiy built up Hie consolidation of u number of tho winpauioa engaged in a particular husi ne, and tlmy ofton assume that aueli a consolidation ia harmful. Ono of Senator Hniinu's critics givea u inoro precise deli, nitloii. Uo aaya moat peoplo iiioaii by "lata "a combination or consolidation 0'uEliibliahinoiitH embraced in any given branch of production, powerful enough practically tocontrol output and pi lour." H this ia the definition which ia ae cl'ted by Mr. Uryau and othor demo tlc anti-lruat orators, it would bo w well for t,um (0 onurnurato some of no organisations which muy properly uo called "trusta." Tliia enumeration will havo moro eflect on the peoplo if it C9 bo shown that these orgatlzatlona have restricted output and thereby re trlcted conaumptlon, and have raised I'ricea. 'flio beat evidence of tho power of a continuation tocontrol cutput and prices 1b the evidence that it hue done so. Whoro.thut ia lacking the power of the combination ia merely alluded, not proved. Tliere are many conBolidated coru paniea wliieh are properly called "trusts" .which have not restricted the output. They have welcomed iticrensed 'eon BUtnption because it enabled them to make ntoro .money. Nor, if able to con trol prices, have they always used their power to increase them. This is true of come of the steel combines. Tho price of atoel was lower here immediately after the Illiuoia Steel company was formed tbun it was before that compnny was organized. If tho Carnegie compnny hint the power to control prices it baa not always exorcised that power. Its prices havo not been tho highest when it was the strongest. In fuct, it has obtained ita ascendency in tiie markets bv nndoraollini' competitors. The Uiacuit Company may be said to have a mo nopoly, but. ia there evidence that it has so controlled prices as to restrict con HninptbiiY A control which increases consumption may not be objected to. Tho anthracite coal roads are culled a "ttuat." No doubt they act in unison. They are in a combine at this timo par ticularly odiua. They manage to agree as to price. J!ut when the evidence that they have made an agreement which the law can take hold of la asked for it is not foithcoming. Men will "think alike" sometimep, oven as to tho prices which they ask for their yuods. No law which congress can pass and tho piesident sign can prevent their doing so. There is no way under tho consti tution and laws in which this combine can bo broken up. Here is a case of a "trust," according to tho popular defin ition, which not oven national legisla tion can reach. Nor ia it easy to see what national legislation can bo devued to dissolve the most powerful of so-called "trustfl" tho Standivid Oil Compnny. The Itryanitea who mo denouncing "truata" and iiokiitir to bo given power that they may destroy them ought to submit a Hat of the corporations they think ointlit to be wlpod out, Uccunae lor reafcona that aliould bo stated, their ex istent ia dangerous to the puullo wel fare. They phould explain also in de tail what Federal legislation thoy pro pose and ehow how it can be made effectual either to destroy or control the tri,iH eoinnlained of. Thoeo are some of tho things tho people might well be informed of before the elections. Htlll iiftlio Stwno Opinion. Chicago, Oct. 12. A special to the Tribune from Louisville, Ky.,say8: Ex President Grover Cleveland has replied to a lettor written by Mr. John S. Groen, of this city, inquiring if tho former president had chanced his view on the financial question, as expressed in hie lettor to Chicago business men, on April 13, 1895.

I had not seen it in a long time, but it seems to tne I could not state tho cube better at this time if I should try. I have not changed my opinion as then expressed in the least." I'.nbliMl tills VutlCHti. Ho.Mti, Oct. 12. A number of the pa pers here publish the extraordinary statement that the securities valued at 1157,0(10 lire, the theft of which from the Vatican waa recently reported to the Italian police, had been stolen eome time previous to February laat, and were Hold in that month on the Paris Ilourso.

The circulars sent out by Balliet among the farmers and school teachers of the Middle Western States appeared in The Telegram two weeks ago, and in publish ing these the Herald made rather vigor ous comments unfavorable to the man who would resort to such devices to ob tain money for his enterprises.
