EDITORIAL COMMENT.
Forty-four New Jersey Trusts
which have been placed in the
hands of receivers since January
i, of this year, with authorized
capital of $80,340,000 and which
became trusted to the amount of
$17,272,333 for the payment of
which they were found to have
estimated assets of only $1,563,
684, scarcely enough to pay re
ceivers and lawyers fees and give
decent burial to the corpses of
the defunct corporate trusts.
The New Jersey Trust-promoting
boom is certainly not progress
ing so smoothly as heretofore,
and still the good work of those
deceptive watered capitalized
combinations are reaching a
proper accounting, as water un
disturbed will sooner or later
seek its proper level.
jt, jt jt
From the commercial columns
of the great' dailies we learn that
the great oil Trust has advanced
the price of coal-oil- two cents a
gallon in less than a month.
Statisticians who have been figur-
l'nnr rrt xohttt thl Trnatis tn the
Trust, state that it gives an an
nual added increase of $30,000,
000 to the income of the trust
magnates, and means an addi
tional tax on the people to that
amount This . enormous tax.
which touches the very life of
the people, is paid almost with
out a murmur. And this is only
one out of many such. Coal has
already advanced, and will go
higher as soon as the cold weath
er makes it an absolute neces
sity; meat of all kinds has ad
vanced. This gain is not the
gain of the producers. The
-prices that the Trusts pay to
them is screwed down to the low
est notch the continuance of life
and business will permit. The
question that forces itself on us
is: "What are we coming to ?"
Conditions something like this
nave prevailed ior years in Jtvng-
' land, and .yet "in the heart o
tne wealthiest city, in tnat most
r- Christian land." the fart stands
out in ghastly prominence, thai
one out of every six in London
dies in a hospital, a workhouse
or a prison. - Ana we can our
selves civilized! Just think o
o'tr ancestors making a fuss abou
a tax on tea, and throwing it
into Boston harbor, while we pay
a tax of $30,000,000 a year on
coal-oil, just levied by our dear
"brother" Rockefeller I What
are we going to do about it ?
Until recent years hnancial
conditions were such that the
West was largely in debt to and
dependent upon the East, and at
the same time the East was in
debt to and dependent upon the
nations of the old world. In
1893, the immense fall in prices
was due mainly to foreign selling
ot the industrial stocks and
bonds of enterprises in this coun
try. Since that time great
changes have taken place.
Financiers of the United States
have been able to buy back the
American stocks and bonds held
abroad, and thus in a great meas
ure establish financial inde
pendence for the business inter
ests of this country. Ia the
years ending in 1901, the balance
of trade in favor of this country
was over $3,000,000,000, and the
gold imports ia the same time
was under 100.000.000. With
the liquidation of the great debt
to Europe, the United States be
comes able to accumulate surplus
instead of havino- to use her lare
0 q
Europe. ' In like manner the
western part of the United States
has been able to pay off the farm
mortgages and other debts due to
surplus and thus establish finan
cial independence, rendering the
affairs of the West less liable to
the fluctuations of Eastern in
fluence. This state of affairs is
- a grand position for the United
States to assume in her business
relations, so that if Europe spec
ulates too much the financial
aflairs 01 the Union, will be less
liable to be influenced thereby.
Likewise if Eastern capitalists
establish too many large capital
ized'' organizations the Western
people being able to handle her
own financial affairs will be less
liable to fluctuations occasioned
by Eastern influences.
In view of the confusion and
destruction of the revenue sys
tem of the state occasioned by
the so called tax law passed by
the last legislature, the words of
David Loan will be heartily ap
preciated. David Logan was known as
one of the able lawyeis of the
state. At one time he was part
ner with Benton Killin and the
late Judge Shattuck,. under the
firm name of Logan, Shattuck &
Killin.
During the progress of the con
stitutional convention when the
present constitution ot this state
was framed, the point was dis
cussed as to what time and how
often the state legislature should
convene in regular session. Many
suggestions were offered and con
sidered, when Mr. Logan sudden
ly arose and spake as follows:
"Mr. President, I move you, sir,
that the time for the regular ses
sions of the legislature be fixed
for once every ten years and that
the duties thereof be confined to
repealing all acts of their prede
cessors." What a wise sugges
tion in view of the crazy quilt
performances of the several legis
lative bodies of the past lew
years? Few men are elected to
the legislature who foresee that
their best duty to their state is to
prevent the passage of .bills and
thus preserve uniform laws. So
rapidly are the laws changed by
each legislature that few men
can have a certain knowledge of
what rule of action they live un
der. ,
