1t Draws Attention.

Pittsburg Post
A big paper trust is in course of for
nation. The Northwestern Paper Man
ufacturerS' association considered a
plan to sell the entire product turned
out by their mills to an association of
Eastern paper dealers and capitalists.
There are seventy-two paper mills
in the Northwest, of which forty
two are members of the asso-
citation and produce upwards of
two-thirds of the annual output. The
value last year was about S3,OOO,O0O. 1t
was determined to accept the proposal,
and the matter was referred to a COM
mittee to draw up the papers. The Sug-
gestion of trust draws attention to the
tariff duties on the trusts products.
The duty on paper ranges from % to 30
per cent and the imports are light.

EVIDENCE OF GROWTH.

There could be no better evidence of
the wonderful development now going
On in the Northwest in consequence of
the rapid immigration, than that fur
nlshed i'll the report made public yester-
day by the Northern Pacific railroad.
From this report it appears that the
total freight and passenger business of
the road for the third week in February.
1887, amounted to s136, 4S5, while for the
same time this year it was S254,319, an
increase OF Sl17,S34, or nearly 100 per
cent. A remarkable feature being that
the per cent increase was nearly the
same i'll both freight and passenger
business.
This is a phenomenal record i'm North
western railroading, and naturally re-
fleets great credit upon the manage
ment of the road, but it could not be
possible without indicating a CORE
spending increase in the settlement and
business of that vast empire lying to
the northwest of the Twin Cities. No
better index of the prosperity of a
section of country is possible than that

THEY DO RESENT 1T.
The New York Times Voices the
Appeal Of the Northwest,

appeal Oh the northwest.
Referring to the editorial from the
Svenska Folkets Tidning, of Mime
apOlis, asking for a general reduction of
duties and the placing of staples upon
the free list, the New York Times COM
ments:
''This is a temperate and sober ap-
peal, but it is a very earnest one, and
the Republican party. cannot afford to
ignore it. Nor can the sentiment be
dallled with by means of any of the alb
Surd devices that alone have so far been
suggested by Republican leaders. No
Topping off of the internal revenue, no
squandering of the surplus, not even
the reduction or repeal of the sugar
duties alone, would satisfy the de-
mand. 1t is inspired by that most
enduring and effective of po-
litical motives, a sense of injustice
in the law affecting directly personal
and class interests. The appeal for
tariff reform in Minnesota touches the
chord that sounded in the corn-law agi-
tation in England. Never before in the
United States has this feeling been so
strongly aroused on the subject of the
tariff. 1t has been plain for long time
to careful observers that when this feel
ing should be awakened it would be
the beginning of the end of the mon
strOus injustice of the so-called protect
i've tariff. Such feeling cannot be
stilled by sneers at college professors
or by insinuations as to British gold, or
even by arguments as to protection to
American labor. The farmers of the
Northwest do not yet see that the tariff
affords no such protection. They still
believe that it does not and they resent
it. They object to being taxed as con
sumerS for that purpose, and ask that
other workingmen shall not be PRO
tected" at their expense. This is the
dangerous element in the situation.
What can the Republican party do to
avoid it?

The Trust Must Go.

Millions can be Topped off from our
menacing surplus, millions saved to the
farmer, labOrer and the middle class,
many trust can be made impossible
by reducing the tariff in selected eases,
nearly or quite to the point of inducing
foreign competition, without touching
the protective system, without impairing
vested rights, or as the Pennsylvanians
say, running the country" The pro-
tective system does not yet need de-
Tense; the trust is squarely on the de-
fensiye and so far as tariff reduction
can do it, the trust must go. The
legal means for abOlishing the trusts
which exist, without reference to the
tariff are not yet apparent, but as
justice endures they will be found.

HONESTY VS.. DISHONESTY.

JAY GOULD is a millionaire, and so
was W. w. CoRcoRAN. If JAY GOULD
were to die tonight, not one tear would
be shed over his bier. When the news
went out that the venerable Washing
ton banker was dying all the nation re-
ceived the tidings with fearful eye, and
all the land Joined in supplication that
the good mans life might be prolonged.
Why this difference in the public feeling
toward the two eminent fnanciers?
The answer lies in the fact that one
represents honest and the other dishon-
est capital. JAY GOULD is the type of
the dishonest capitalist, while Mr.. Cor
CORAN represents the class who have
obtained wealth honorably and who
know how to make good use of it.
Outside of the handful of anarchists
and socialistic agitators there is no
antagOnism to capital in this country.
All the talk about the conflict between
capital and labor is the veriest nom
sense. There is no conflict and no
antagonism, except as the honest senti-
ment of the country stands arrayed
against the dishonest methods by
which organized capital increases in
dividual wealth. The popular feeling
toward JAY GOULD and Mr.. CoRCoRAN
respectively is an illustration in point.
Mr.. CORCoRAN accumulated his mill
ions by purely legitimate methods.
No one dared to accuse him of taking
one dollar wrongfully from his fellow
man. Not SO with JAY GOULD. His
accumulations represent so many op-
pressiOns. SO many treacherous deals,
so many betrayals of confidence. the
wrecking Of so many business
enterprises, the destruction of SO
many private fortunes; in fact,
there is nothing base or dishonorable in
business life that has not in some form
or Other been associated with the

PLAYING BILLIARDS.
BIRDS Acquaintance With the
First Masse Shot RiIIiardist.

First Masse Shot BiIliardist.
Christian Bird, the veteran billiard
player of Philadelphia, talking with
Gossip" of the Philadelphia News
about the changes in billiard playing
since 1880, INDUCES in the following
"Reminiscences:
the size of the tables came simultane-
ously with the beginning of the war.
A Frenchman named Berger arrived
at New Orleans just before it broke
out. and brought with him what was
then a very small table, four and
half by nine feet. When the war be-
gan he came North, and | was intro
duced to him in New York
by Phelan, who suggested that
he would be a good card in
this city. He was willing to come,
and in 1862 Berger gave a two weeks
exhibition at my rooms, in the third
story of the building, 600 Chestnut
street. He would use his own table and
played the three-ball game, the balls
measuring two inches instead of our
two and three-eighths inch ones. He
was the first man seen to make the
masse shot in America and his skill
was wonderful. The players in this
country had no conception of the
wonderful plays it allowed, and the
town fairly went wild over him. Berger
was not a tall man, but he was enOr-
mously stout, weighing nearly 800
pounds, and the masSe was exactly
suited to his build. His influence soon
made itself felt, and masse shots and
smaller tables quickly became univer-
sally known. The masse is very diff
cult, only a good player should at
tempt it. Edward Mclaughlin can
make many of the plays which Berger
made, but have never seen the French
man equaled. He would chalk line
Oh the table and would send the ball up
to it. then it would stop, reverse its
movement and come all the way back
to him, as children throw hoop before
them and make it return. All, he was
a great player"
