Democracy and tho Trusts.

The Democratic platform condemned
trusts and combinations that rob the
body Of our citizens" and Mr.. Cleveland,
in his letter of acceptance, asserted that
this declaration was sincerely made, and
no member Of our party will be found ex.
cusing the existence or belittling the
wrong tho people," How much sincerity
there is in the Democratic party in this
matter was shown in Washington yester-
day on Democratic authority. It was Mr..
Grain, of Texas, who stated that since
Aug. "a twelve bills directed against
trusts have been referred to the committee
on ways and means. If tho sentiment of
the platform quoted by Mr.. Cleveland was
sincerely made" the public would like to

Railway Bills In Parliament.

Few of the outside public can have any
idea of the enormous cost OF getting q
railway bill through parliament. The
parliamentary. surveying and engineering
costs of the Kendall and Windermere
company amounted to trife over per
cent. OIL tho whole expenditure on the
line. OF parliamentary costs the Brighton
railway averaged G4,806 per mile; Man.
chester and Birmingham. G5. 100; Black.
wall, G14,414. These figures are almost
beyond belief, when we consider that
some English lines in favorable positions
cost altogether only 10000 per mile.
The Brighton limo for two sessions fought
desperate battle against several other
companies. and when its bill came before
the committee tho expenses Of counsel
and witnesses amounted to over G1, 900 a
day; and the discussion Of tie measure
lasted fifty days.
The solicitors bill of the Southeastern
railway contained 10000 folios, occupy.
ing twelve months in tGxations and
amounted to G240000 One company
found such difficulty in getting their bill
through it's preliminary stages that ut
last, when they had reached the long de.
sired last stage, they had already spent
nearly million of money. end this simply
for obtaining tho privilege of making the
railway. OF the terrible costs which have
been incurred only to lead to ultimate
failure, one instance will DO sufficient.
Tho discussion upon the Stone and Rugby
bill lasted sixty-six sitting days, from
February till August. 1880; and in the
year 1910 tho measure was defeated, after
having resulted in loss of e146, coo to
its unhappy promoters.
1t is needless to say that such enormous
expenditure cripples many railway, and
prevents it's shareholders from ever earn.
ing good dividends. Tho ceaseless
energy, untiring perseverance and neat
diplomacy which have to DO shown in
pushing railway bill to q successful is
sue arc almost beyond belief; but it is
much to DO desired that some means
should be discovered of keeping down the
expenses which so often 60 far to ruin q

FARMERS AND PROTECTION.

Failacious Free Trade Arguments Won't
Deceive the Agricuiturist.
Every free trader. from President Cleve-
land down, has been striving with might
and main since last December to convince
the American farmer that he Is being
robbed and plundered by the protective
tariff. Tho amount Of misrepresentation,
of sophlstry. of fallacious argument and
OF downright lying that has been expend-
cd in this attempt would furnish a regi-
ment of Baron Munchausens with mate-
rial for their literary labors for lifetime
Tho trouble Is that while this talk
about being robbed and burdened and
ground into tho dirt by tariff taxation
sounds very we'll, when the American
farmer gets to thinking the question over
he cannst find where it is that he is rob-
bed or maltreated. If he be n middle
aged man he can, without any difficulty,
trace the gradual decrease in the cost of
the things necessary for his use. He can
see that everything which he has to buy
costs him less money than 1t used to, and
lie begins very soon to doubt the truth of
the free traders oft repeated assertion
that the import duty increases the price
OF homo made articles to the consumer.
Ho remembers. for example. that under
free trade his wife's China tea set cost
her SIS. while nowadays the American
chinaware of the same kind can be bought
for $3.50. It occurs to him that he used
to pay 81 dozen for files and that now
no can buy them for $3.50 dozen. When
1t comes to blankets. clothes and such
articles. he calls to mind the fact that
they do not cost over one-half what they
did in FREQ trade times; and he soon
makes up his mind that the FREQ trade
orator Is either fool OF q liar. and In
either case not safe counselor.
Gen. Raum, of Illinois. says that he re.
Gently attended q meeting in Pope county
In that state, which was composed almost
entirely Of farmers, having no manufac-
turing interests whatever, and yet they
were oil outspoken in favor Of protection.
The Same thing can be said Of certain conn
munities in this state. A correspondent
has written us from q town in the inte-
rior, which Is scarcely more than village,
saying that club has been formed there
with q membership of nearly 300, nearly
all Of whom are interested in agriculture
one way or another, and all of whom are
for protection.
And so 1t will be all over the country.
The American farmer is man of brains,
OF intelligence, Of reasoning powers; and
he Is not going to be induced to cut his
own throat In order to crafty some imag-
mary spite against his countrymen who
prefer something else to farming. He
would rather feed them than ruin them,
and so long as he keeps of that mind he
has no use for free trade.-San Francisco

Chinese Legation at washinrton.

The members of the Chinese legation at
Washington. try very hard to make them
selves popular In society. They often
make handsome presents-rare jewelry,
perhaps, or costly silk-to casual ac-
qusintances. They arc very assiduous In
paying calls. They start out together and

cards and photographs, They seen. to

nized, so they leave their pictures to

be creditable to any of the Missouri

of the banks are first class. Her

Wallace and many others, who are as

why Phillipsburg is meeting with so
much prosperity, no over growth, but
a steady, solid growth which don't
mean any backset in the future.
