new party. They will probably con-
| tinuc to increase in power and import
ance for some time. but So long as
there is an opposing force working to
counteract and destroy them, the dan
ger is reduced The dispatches the
other day stated that the Standard Oil
Company now controls the oil product
of the world, it having absorbed the
companies engaged in the oil business
in Europe. If this result is possible
of accomplishment in the Gil business
there is no reason why the same result
should not obtain in other industries,
But whatever harm the trusts and COM
bines may accomplish during their ex-
istance they will eventually work good
to the people, for when their tyrrany
becomes unbearable, they will be swept
out of existance and new order of
government established, that will make
their being impossible.
As the evils in our present form of
government crop out, men begin study
ing the remedy that will right them.
The two old parties belong to the past
era. They have reached the end Of
their usefulness, and they cannot, in
their present condition, cope with the
dangers that threaten us. They have
overcome some of the evils of the past
but those which now threaten US arc so
far reaching, so deep rooted, that the
fundamental principles on which the
opposing parties are founded, pre-
cludes the possibility of relief.

They now have it that Jerry Simp
son is wearing tailor made suit. The
fact that Jerry wore no socks has been
thoroughly discussed and we presume
the fact that he does wear trousers and
other clothes will be subject for the
next discussion. But we don't be.
lieve this tailor made story. We
think it is lie manufactured out of
the whole cloth, instead of a suit.
Jerry has neat, trim figure that can
be easily fitted in any store. This try
ing to wean the farmers away from
him through tailor made suits and six
dollar-a-day-hotels won'tgo. The fact
that he wears no socks overcomes all

a tariff tax is never popular with
people who have to pay it, and there
have always been attempts to evadc it.
Some Of these attempts exhibit the
ludicrous side of the tariff, as well as
display the ingenuity of the mind in
working out ways and means TO beat it.
The Industrial World gives the follow
ing instance of the shrewd evasion of
the tariff laws: '.At one time, many
years ago, when heavy duty had
been laid on imported lead, statues
and busts Of both marble and metal
were admitted free Of charge, as works
OF art. Forthwith the evaders seized
upon the provision of the tariff as a
loop-hole Of advantage. Busts of
Washington, Hamilton, Franklin, JET
ferson and other eminent Americans,
aReast in lead, began to appear on
bs manifests in considerable num-
bers, and were passed free, without
question, through our custom houses.
These counterfeit presentmcnts of oar
greatest men, once safely in the hands
OF the consignces,, were melted down
and moulded into lead bars. 1t was
noticed with astonishmcnt that the
busts were received from on shipboard
without complaint even when the nose
was aattencd or an eyebrow broken in,
or the face and head otherwise bruised
and battered; yet months rolled away
before any suspicion of the true in
wardness of the importations dawned
upon the authorities.
