authorized in the first two months of
this year was$1,106,300,000, as against
a total of $916,176,000 for the twelve
months of1898. The Financial Chronicle
estimates that the total authorized out

exclusive of such transportation “ com

combinations have as their objects the
creation of a monopoly, the limiting of
production, the control of prices both for
raw material and finished product, the
crippling or, if possible, the destruction
of competition, and the payments of
dividends on a largely inflated capitali
zation. As to the influence of these
trusts upon the people there are two
opposite views held respectively by men
of all conditions and of every shade of
political belief. There are rich men who
denounce monopoly, poor men who up
hold it. There are Democrats like Flower
and Whiteney who applaud and practise
monopoly, Republicans like Pingree and
Chandler who denounce it.
made general and not of a class charact
er. If the negro cannot read the consti
tution of the state he is not to be allowed
to vote, then the same restriction should
be placed upon the white voter. If the
unlettered negro is not to be allowed to
vote, there is no more reason why the
ignorant white man should be debarred.
The white man, with the advantages of
free schools and better surroundings,
who is not intelligent enough to read his
ballot is quite as dangerous as the negro
equally unlettered. North Carolina was
given representation in congress in 1868
on the distinct pledge that it constitu
tion should not lie amended or revised
in any way that would prohibit any
class of citizens from exercising the
full privilege of franchise. Even if the
state purposes to violate this agreement,
it ought, in all decencv, in the name of
fair plav for which the South is credited
with having the utmost regard, to make
the law apply to all classes. If the ignor
ant negro is not allowed to vote, the
ignorant white man should also be denied
the privilege.
