ST. Paul can be festive with an ice
palace made in Gothic architecture, and
the picnic is most exhilarating as 1t i.
described.
But when we read of all this fun al
twenty degrees below zero, We find ou'
that Richmond is the mos comfortable
place you can find in winter. The tenn
perature of Richmond is always In
varisbly six degrees warmer than al
Washington, and when you bring hu'
mainly down to fhe freezing point, and
have that margin of six degrees, you can
feel safe. That is why We ask the thou.
sands of Northern pilgrims going South
to stop at Richmond.
In December Richmond Is warm. In
February Richmond 10 pleasant when
Florida Is hot. That is the fact that
ought 10 advertise Richmond.
OF course Richmond will be the Nee
ca OF Northern travel. But We have q
plan to expedite the Mecca.

CONGRESS AND THE TRUST"

One Of the great and burning questions
OF the day that will decide the presiden'
,ial election is whether or not Congress
has power to legislate on Trust Com
bipes." 1t is certain that Congress has
control over interstate commerce, and it
cannot be denied that when q combina-
ton is made to control the wheat market
in several States the combination is sub
ice. to investigation il there is anything
TO investigate.
The public knows perfectly well that
these great combines bull the market
and that, as we explained the other day
i, IL fragrant violation OF the funda-
mental principle that the market must
not be foreslalled.
If there Is no way to stop this system
Of placing commerce ARBITRARILY in the
hands of corporations, then there ought
to be an amendment to the Constitution.
But it seems quite plain that the offense
comes under the present law, and that
Congress can legslate TO give 1t the
proper responsibility before the Federal
courts
II one set Of manufacturers can com.
bine to control the market of certain
product, they can also combine with the
corporations owning transportation lines.
and the discrimination In freights, as in
the Standard Oil Trust, would add anoth-
er power which would be imperial and
as personal as that Of monarchy, II 1t 10
totally beyond the reach Of law. Or, in
other words, there exists at present in
the United States system OF per.
sonal prerogatiye that is above law,
and this infamous outrage is main
tanned by the protective tariff
which is now ten or twenty pei cent.
higher than when it was tolerated as war
taxes. Let the reader keep his mind on
that simple proposition, and he can see
that tax on wool raises the price of
clothing one-fourth OF more, and that the
war tariff duty on the imported wooden
goods raises IT forty per cent. more.
When exactly the same principle is APP
piled to other things, it confines the
American consumer to the home market,
which by the same system can be
manipulated just to suit the gigantic
trust companies.
They can hold the whole supply while
the demand increases and yield as soon
as the price is high enough TO please the
Trust" barons. We are in free country
that is able TO smash such a set Of men,
but the wrong is as great as was ever
perpetrated by feudai barons centuries
The Daily times. [volume] (Richmond, Va.) 1886-1889, 1888-01-28

Il wifi be we'll II every voter in tho
United States could read the outline OF
Democr ,tic policy which We quoted yes
terday, for 1t leads popular sentiment up
to the keynote Of a successful campaign
In the first place the Democratic politi'
clans in Congress should fix their at:en-
ton on the necessity of doing something
promptly towards fulfilling the long
standing promise Of the party to reduce
the surplus by lowering the taxes laid on
the people for exigencies OF war in the
shape of import duties. II this is left
undone In the belief that any sensation
and hurrah can take its place, then
grave mistake will have been made. We
need serious and earnest canvass, and
nothing else will win the election.
In addition to quoting the best article
of the day on this subject, we showed
the three points upon which the Repub-
icans can be successfully assailed-pro'
tective tariff, Pacific railway manage
ment, and Trust" monopoly.
As the last is in great measure one
of those monstrosities begotten OF the
false relations of trade and manufacture
under the protective system, it is quite
plain that each Of tho two positions OF
the Democracy strengthens the other.
In fact, TO the acute politician or to the
statesman therein Is the forecast OF
glorious triumph in the aggressive and
determined canvass that can be made
against the Republicans under any leader
they can nominate for President.
Blaine, Evarts, Sherman, Lincoln, Haw
ley, or a dark horse"-there IL not the
hope Of victory In either OF them or any
where, If the Democratic party will but
do what it requires common sense to sec
and nerve 10 carry out.
Then let ii be urged, and all the time, to
bring the popular mind TO bear on the
timid politicians. We remark that the
New York Times expresses the same view
that the Richmond TINES put forward
before Congress met, which is TO push
the tariff reform on one article at a time
to avoid objections from more than one
quarter.
The two other great issues will take
care of themselves If the Democratic
majority in the House Of Representatives
will but stand to the coors OF their party
and understand that we can no longer
support ourselves on an almost pro-
tested pledge.

GIVE RICHMOND A SHOW.

The distinguished members of Congress
who visited the Richmond Locomotive
Works yesterday with view to consider
the application for big Government
contract, have it in their power TO do a
great service for Richmond in giving her
a chance that she has right toto show
her manufacturing skill But il is more
than this that these gentlemen should con-
slider. Richmond is the gate of the South,
and if the South is ever to be recognized
as in perfect equality with her sister
States, now is the opportunity TO do it
by showing that the Government does
not mean 10 foster sectional monopoly
of its work. All the Southern Congress
men are therefore interested in this met
ter as an affair of deep interest to the
South and her material progress, for il
the Government sets the example OF
course the world will recognize her ca
pacity.
But every sensible Congressman of the
North is interested in granting TO
Southern city what will be a fair tribute
to the industrial skill of her working
men as we'll as to the enterprise Of CAPT
tai. The Richmond Locomotive Works
contains one of the finest plants in the
world for it, business, and under Mr.
VIM. r. Trigg's sagacious management il
promises to be one Of the great manu-
featuring successes of the country.

Referring to the right OF Congress 10
legislate on the subject OF trust mono
poles and combines" the Herald says
that, when commercial transporta.
ton, transactions or communication cross
State line, when they embrace the in
dustrial and mercantile life Of two or
more States, they become interstate
commerce and fall within the domain OF
Congress And this is equally true of
the operations both OF individuals and OF
corporations.

with which the public is becoming
