WHILE Prince Russell is hob nobbing
with royalty in England, affairs at the
seat of the government are getting on
fairly well. Col. Tanner got little
unruly, and played high jinks for a
while, but the president and Secretary
Noble, fearing that the pension COM
missioner would not leave money
enough in the treasury to pay their
salaries, applied the air brakes in time,
and now what threatened to be a Con
emaugh flood employing the treasury, is
only a strong and life giving stream
whose waters refresh the weary and
satisfy the thirsty.

The tariff has nothing to do with
trusts, hasn't it? The Globe-Demo-
crat proposes to smash them by reduc-
ing or abolishing the duty on the pro-
ducts controlled by them, where there
is duty. Doesn't it appear from that
that the tariff has great deal to do
with the trustss Or is it possible that
the Globe does not know what it is
talking about.

OUR good old free trade friend, the
Globe Democrat, tells the members
of the copper trust. that unless
they behave themselves and sell
copper at fair profit, the republican
party will undermine their castle at
the custom house, and-changing the
figure bit-down Will come baby,
cradle and all. The menace is well
aimed, but will the copper men heed
it? Not particle. If the price of
copper is now not extortionate, as it
was last winter, it is because the pool
collapsed under too heavy a load, and
not because the copper men chose to
make what the Globe thinks is "a con-
cession to public opinion" Such mag
nanimity is rare among sharks like
those who advanced the price of their
product 100 percent last winter.

FROM all appearances, the tariff has
no more to do with trusts than the

Then why do you ask that the tariff

it adds nothing to the price of sugar.
Therefore, it is perfectly harmless, if
not useless, and removing it would
not hurt the trust nor benefit the con-
