Democratic Sentinel, Volume 16, Number 20, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 3 June 1892 — Exclusive Rights Are Dangerous. [ARTICLE]

Exclusive Rights Are Dangerous.

No town or city, says the Marion Leader, should grant an exclusive or perpetual right of any kind to any syndicate, trust, combine, corporation, company or individual, no matter how tempting may be the offer made in return therefore. The world just now is moving too rapidly, its strides are too immense to permit such an act of lunacy to be considered, even for one moment. We have no right to perpetrate so great a sin against prosperity by thus tying their hands. A single day is liable to produce improvements and results absolutely dwarfing anything now in existence. No perpetual or exclusive rights should be granted under any circumstances.
