tionai Reform.
There can be no doubt that Mr..
Cleveland means TO make the distribu.
ton Of the Offices a very subordinate
part Of his administration. lie holds,
and rightly, that he has more impor-
tant work on hand. But he is con-
fronted with the same condition that
he found eight years ago The public
Offices are filed from top to bottom.
except in the classified service. with
republicans They were appointed in
the main as reward for partisan ac-
tivity." They have used their time
and their influence to promote the re-
nomination and reelection of the prcsi-
dent who gave them their Offices. They
represent the spoils systemin its worst
development
Such public service affords. no ra-
tional basis Of reform. It. must be os-
partisanized before the principle when
should govern it can be nationally ana
justly applied.
But TO fill these placcs with demo-
cratic partisans, appointed in the samc
way and for the same reasons, would
equally make a mockery OF reform
President Clevcland's character and his
words are guarantee that he will nol

In the Chicago Tribune we find in one
column vigorous denunciation OF the

other this paragraph:
within the last few weeks there has been q
decline OF thirty eight cents on the dollar in
sugar stocks. thirty-five in whisky. fifteen in

In some other trust stocks The question Is

Probably the latter considera ton is the most

"Within the last few weeks" covers
the period of the inauguration OF
President Cleveland Within that

factory to the people. The appoint
ment of Messrs. Carlisle, Gresham and
Morton, all ardent and well-informed
tariff reformers, indicates that n new
spirit is to dominate all the depart
ments.
Tariff reform IS not n measure which
can stand by itself; toit must be joined
economy in public expenditures ospo-
sition to paternalism. with "a vigoro us
and intelligent. an honorable and self
reliant public policy, which is the best
possible assurance Of peace and pros
perity.
Naturally the outlook for trusts and
com bines is anything but encouraging.
trust is formed to limit domestic
competition, but what is the sense OF
limiting domestic competition when
reduction of the tariff will increase
foreign competition?
Trusts flourish most when the law,
the tariff law. shuts out all foreign
interlopers. "Protected' on that side,
the monopolists organize trust to con-
troll competition and advance prices at
home.
These so-called industrial stocks arc
in fact trust stocks. stocks in compa-
MES having monopolies more or less
complete The assurance that the
democratic party intends to reform the
tariff not little bit here, and n little
bit else where. but to reform 1t alto
gether, naturally does more to de press
the price of trust stocks than a dozen
antitrust bills like that drawn by Sem
ator Sherman.
The decline in the price of trust
stocks marks the advance in the pros
