REVENUE FROM MoNoPoLIEs.

The fragrant case of joobery by which
the Hill legislature recently passed bills
comforting franchises in New York which
created two public monopolies has aroused
the usual storm of protests. One of the
peculiarities of the discussion is the fall
ure to secure any payment to the city In
return for the immensely valuable monop-
olies. The dinner-giving Senator w. L.
Brown is quoted as asserting that he
would give $3.50, 900 for each of the fran
chises and that they could be sold to capi-
talists for $500, 900 each.
There is no disputing that the receipt Of
81, 100000 for these two monopolies would
be just 81 600, 900 more than the present
plan of receiving nothing at all. But the
inference that their sale at that or any
other figure would be all right cannot be
permitted to pass without protest. It is
plain that whoever pays that sum for a
monopoly does so because he expects to
get it back with large profit in excess of
what he could make under the legitimate
conditions of competition. If the people,
therefore, receive in the public treasury
million dollars payment for monopoly
which extracts from them individually
three, five or ten millions, they are the
worse and not the better for the trans
action.
The method of obtaining public revenue
from the sale of monopolies, like its kim
dred medievalism, tax-farming, was re-
jected by enlightened policy before the
opening Of the present century. 1t does
not give us very promising assurance of
human progress to find writers returning
to the benighted idea that the public
gains by the sale of the right to burden
them with exclusive commercial privileges.
The intelligent view of the subject
is not that the Government shall demand
a share of the profits of monopolies, but
that there shall be no monopolies at all.
Still, it is impossible to leave the subject
without repeating the remark that some
pecuniary return from the grant of such
franchises is distinct improvement on
the plan which has obtained in Pittsburg's
municipal management of distributing
public franchises of great value as clear

DEMAND SOME RETURN.

The lumbermen's convention brought
out very clearly the immensity of their
industry and the strength of the argu-
ments against Mr.. Bryan's bill. But there
is one respect in which lumber must be
considered on a different basis from that
of our other protected industries. The
lumbermen must be made, in return for
the benefits of protection, to guarantee
that the many present wasteful methods
shall be discarded. Our climate is being
altered for the worse, by the denudation
of immense tracts without the planting of
single tee to replace those removed
Further, the lumber supply of our country
is in this manner being rapidly reduced
without any provision at all adequate to
insure any supply for the future
While, therefore, the amount of labor
involved makes it in every way desirable
that the industry continue to be protected,
in at least the same degree as now, it should
be clearly understood, and made plain
by legislation, that methods very different
from those now in vogue will have to be
used for its prosecution or the country
must be opened to the foreign supply to
save US from being stripped by our own
folly.

THE LAW AND THE TRUSTS.

There is some intimatiop of check to
the progress of Illegal combinations in the
simultaneous reports of the issue of war
rants against the officers of the Whisky
Trust and the decision Of the Ohio Su-
preme Court against the Standard Oil
Trust. The former is an indication of the
way in which the managers of the CON-
bination can be made to learn the
supremacy of the law; the latter is another
judicial declaration of the illegality of the
oldest and most defiant of those organiza-
tions.
If the line of action presented in these
two cases were vigorously and unrelent-
ingly pushed there is no doubt that the
day of combinations to suppress competi-
ton would be ended. These aggregations
Of capital cannot afford to stand in active
defiance of the law. Their reliance is in
their ability TO nullify the law by prevent
ing its enforcement In the two cases IT.
ferreG to it remains to be demonstrated
that this reliance is misplaced. There is a
wide gap between issuing warrants for
the arrest of Trust magnates and
sending them to prison. In the case of
the Standard Oil Trust in Ohio, too, the
fact that even the official who carried
this case to notorious conclusion is not
going to use the result vigorously is shown
by his declaration that he does not wish
to forfeit franchises or do anything severe,
but only insists on the Standard Oil Com
pany of Ohio conducting its business ac-
cording to law.
This of course leaves the way open for

PITTsBURG. THURSDAY. MARCH 8.
TWELVE PAGES
MAKE A GOOD SHOW.

Pennsylvania efforts at the World S
Fair should be concentrated to produce
the best possible showing of our i'm
mensely important manufacturing indus
tries. Fisheries and agricultural prod
ucts can profit but little from advertising,
and, after ali, the greatest use of the
Worlds Fair will be as a medium to dis
play our capabilities to the world Pitts
burg manufacturers cannot be too ener-
getic in measures to insure an exhibition
of their work to the greatest possible ad-
vantage. We have here industries whose
market can be illimitably increased, and
the extension of its area depends more
upon private enterprise than anything
else.
If there be any truth in the suggestion
that, for some unknown reason, the Ma
tional Board is placing obstacles in the
way Of our State, the matter should be
thoroughly sifted and fair dealing be
firmly insisted upon. The refusal to grant
space for coal, gas or oil exhibits because
''the first would be dusty and the last too
dangerous" is ridiculous in the extreme,
since measures can easily be adopted to
insure both cleanliness and safety. But
even if difficulties be placed in the way of
showing these raw materials the loss will
be insignificant compared with any short
sighted want of push which prevents our
manufacturers from demonstrating what
work they can turn out

NO NEED FOR 1T.

In supporting bill introduced by a
Vermont Congressman for promoting the
attendance of military organizations at the
Worlds Fair, the New York Tribune says:
SIT will permit railway companies to
make special rates for such organ
izations, notwithstanding the pro-
visions of the Interstate commerce
act" There may be other. commendable
objections to be subserved by the bill, but
so far as that specified by the Tribune is
concerned there is not the slightest neces-
sity for it. There is no hindrance what
ever in the Interstate commerce act to
railways making special excursions to
military or other organizations That
liberty is granted by direct provision of
the act, and has been exercised without
the slightest restriction in every year since
its passage. The esteemed Tribune should
break itself of the habit Of repeating
cheap and long-exploded misrepresenta-
tions concerning that enactment

Space Would Rule Out Paupers.
LONDON, March 2.-Secretary of the Treas
ury Foster having arrived in London this
evening, reporter called on the Secretary
at his hotel, and in an interview regarding
the new emigration regulations, Mr.. Foster
said:
II quite agree with the objections of the
British steamship owners, that it is imprac-
ticable to find $50 900 bond. That was not
my proposal. My object in recommending
more air space on the steamers and 81 head
money was to prevent the overcrowding of
tramp steamers and induce the introduce
tion Of better class of enigrants into the
United States"
But" said the reporter, "the steamship
owners say the 81 head money involves in
creased passage rates."
Quite so," responded Mr.. Foster, "and in
creased rates mean a better class OF emf
grants to the exclusion of the pauDer ele.
ment. We nave no trouble with the British
lines, nor with the general Transatlantic
and North Lloyd companies These COM
panies conduct their traffic. perhaps, the
the Italian lines. The enforcing of added
air space and higher rates ought to limit the
tramp steamer traffic. If it does, the class
of emigrants which the United States is
open to receive will not be injured"
"Who will be the Republican candidate
for the Presidency?" Mr.. Foster was asked.
Mr.. Harrison ~ he responded.
"And what is the Democratic situationf"

MKINLEY'S BILL UPHELD.

THE country rejoices in the decision of the
Supreme Court sustaining the validity of the
Mckinley tariff law.-Nen York Recorder.
1T is not likely that any further objection
to the constitutionality of the law will be
presented. Tie bill is as good in law as it is
practice Chicago Inter Ocean.
ACCORDING to the Supreme Court the Nc
Kinley tariff meets all constitutional tests
satisfactorily. 1t has met all economic re-
quirements also The Mckinley law Is all
right.-i&. Louis Globe Democrat
The efforts of the supporters to overthrow
the Mckinley law on legal grounds having
failed there will be greater interest than
over in the attack on the law in Congress
and before the voters.-Chicdgo Necs.
The onstitutionality of the Mckinley law
has been sustained blythe Supreme Court,
and the Democrats will have to get control
OF the executive and legislative branches of
the Government to repeal it.-Cnicogo Tri-
bune.
THE Supreme Court of the United States
takes the same view of the constitutionality
of protection as did the fathers who passed
the first protective tariflaw in the first Con-
gress held under the constitutional Cleveland
Leader.

GRESHAM AND THE THIRD PARTY,

The real candidate settled upon by the
leaders of the Peoples Party to head their
initial campaign for the Presidency is said
to be Walter Q. Gresham. The report is
not especially authentic, but it suggests
an interesting personal influence in the
campaign besides raising the question of
how much harmony it is necessary to pre-
serve between the candidate and plat
form.
No doubt Judge Gresham would make a
powerful Third Party candidate, especially
if the Democratic nomination should in
dicate so complete a rejection of the re-
form element as now seems likely. But
Gresham's strength would depend on how
completely he could dissever himself from
the collection of incongruitics laid down
as the principles of the Peoples Party.
No one who knows anything of Gresham
believes he would carry into effect the
sub-Treasury, land loan and Government
railroad schemes with which this party
has saddled itself. Very few believe he
will accept nomination except on plain
disavowal of those crankish doctrines so
far as their binding effect on him is con-
cerned.
Ii the Peoples Party men should
nominate Gresham it would be a practical
declaration that they think candidate of
independent and irreproachable character
more important than these alleged princi-
plies. On that understanding Gresham's
candidacy might have very important and
interesting possibilities. But the proba-
bility is that the Peoples Party is too
much bound to its idols of crankism to
take such wise and conservative course.

minated i illness ii week ago Wednesday
night. The extent of Miss Crossman's ILL

where it was said Saturday night that she
would be back to work in the middle OF the

AN ERROR OF FACT.

With regard to the rather strenuous as
sertions made on behalf of the President
that the recent call of Jay Gould at the
Washington Post inquiries: "Why should
there be any objection to Mr.. Gould CALL
ing at the White House and paying his
respects to the President? Mr.. Gould is a
law-abiding citizen of the United States. :"
The assertion, as well as the question,
indicate that the esteemed Post is really
ignorant of the basis which underlies the
objections on the part of the people to
Jay Could. He is not a law-abiding citi-
zen of the United States. He is the lead
ing example of the class which secures
wealth by evasions and violations of the
law and by the immunity from prosecu-
ton and punishment which wealth can
obtain
Still, we are ready to agree that there is
good deal of nonsense about the ten
dency to make Gould the bugbear, and to
elevate to the pedestals of public worship
a number of his rivals in exactly the same
class of illegal and dishonest practices.
Mr. Gould would have the advantage of
frankness over those who make money by
methods little less daring than his, and
even join him in his raids, while at the
same time they make great professions of
philanthropy and religion, if it were not
for one thing That is that Mr. Gould has
lately joined that class himself, and is
seeking the elevation of respectability by
$4,000 subscriptions.
On the whole, the haste of the Presi-
dents organ to deny that he is cultivating
terms of intimacy with Gould is not mis-
placed. 1t is to be hoped that equal pains
will be taken to keep the administration
clear of all kindred affiliations.
