The Post Dispatch hits the nail
squarely on the head i'm this paragraph:
Republican newspapers are warning
the salt manufacturers against the
formation of a salt trust. They declare
that it will bring into disfavor with the
people the protective system, which
alone renders trusts possible. This i'll
genuous trankness is remarkable. 1t
is a confession of all that has been
charged against the high protective
tariff. But if these misguided journals
think that the men who have the power
to put up the price OF salt through a
combine will not exert it, because of
appeals to conscience and prudence,
they are mistaken. Trust money vas
expended to retain the high tariff solely
for the profit there is in it. The wrong
was done when the power of combin-
ing and overcharging was placed in
the hands of manufacturers.

MISSOURI AT THE CENTENNIAL.

1t should be, and doubtless il, a mat
ter of some local pride and congr&lula-
ton that the state of Missouri was well
represented at the centennial celebra-
ton. There were cheers from thuus-
ands OF throats along the line of march
as the five hundred soldier boys, head
ed by Gov Francis and his staff, went
by. The governor and his aides were
in full uniform, and mounted on gaily
caparisoned steeds which they bestrode
with grace and dignity.
1t was u generous act, too, On the
part OF the governor, when the legisla-
ture had declared itself in favor of the
representation of The state, but had not
reached the appropriation, to put his
hand in his own pocket and advance
nine thousand dollars to pay the nee
essary expenses OF the trip.
In fact there are strong signs that Mis-
souri, is going ahead to fresh triumphs
and renewed glories under the impetus
of the present administration, as there
seems to be q determination on its part
to labor for the glory and the develop
ment of a state which has no equal in
material and no superior in
men and women.
