The political sensation OF tho hour
is the Presidents message on tho Can
adam Fisheries question. AS our
readers will rccollcct, q treaty on the
subject was sometime since negotia
ted, which seemed satisfactory to
both nations. This the Senate in q
partisan spirit rejected; SO tho Presi-
has issued message asking Con
gress to empower him to employ ro-
taliatory measures toward Canada to
compel the British government to
doal fairly by our people engaged in
these fisheries. The message is at
tracing great attention not only at
home but in Canada and England.
The Senate find themselves fairly
beaten in their little game to ombar-
ress and discredit the administration.
We will give this important paper
in full in our next.

What are Trusts!

What are these Trusts which have
been bred of Republican legislation,
and to the approval and maintenance
OF which tho Republican party ia nov
formally committed They arc 81
gantic combinations OF capital tor the
purpose OF regulating tho production
and controlling the price OF articles
of general consumptioni and, further
for tho purpose OF securing more alb,
solute control over tho labor engaged
in tho manufacture or production oil
such articles.
The machinery is very simple AL
the concerns engaged in the manu-
facture or production in particular
line, form stock companies, aud trans
fer all their stock to trustees Tor the
general benefit, tho issuing back TO
each stakeholder trust certificates in
proportion to his particular interest
Now, while each concern proceeds to
do business after his own fashion, as
n distinctly separate company, yet
all are jointly interestedin tho profits
of all, so that if half Of them stop
work they still draw dividends on
the profits of the other half.
The result is visible ut q glance.
If the market is glutted, or ii prices
are for any reason too low, they ORDER
out to certain members of tho Trust
TO lie idle. They do 30, and partici-
patio tho increased gains from tho IN
creased prices. But the workingmen
thus thrust out of employment par.
ticipato in nothing save hunger and
cold; and the general public derives
the sole privilege OF paying twice
over for what it consumes. Again,
if one or more of the separate con
Germs united in the Trust has trouble
with it's lnbor-if it can not force its
wages down MS low rs it likes without
dlsturbance-it quietly shuts down
and continues to draw its dividends
on it's Trust certificates. But the
labor draws nothing save dismal
distress.
1t is combinations like this, which
nearly every State in the Union is
fighting, which the Courts of New
York and New Jersy are now trying
the legality of, which the Nationa
Congress is seeking to suppress
which the Democratic party mosI
earnestly denounces and which the
people of America detest and execratt
it is these Ubiquitous Trusts which
the Republican party openly approves
and declares to be beyond the reach
of lawful regulation.-Cin. Enquirer.
