TRUSTS AND COMBINES.

The existence Of immense aggrega-
tions Of kindred enterprises and COM
binations Of business interests formed
for the purpose Of limiting produc-
tion and fixing prices, is inconsistent
with the fair field which ought to be
open to every independent activity.
Legitimate strife in business should
not be superseded by an enforced con-
cession of the demands Of combina-
tions that have the power to destroy;
nor should the people to be served
lose the benefit Of cheapness which
usually results from wholesome com
petition. These aggregations and
combinations frequently constitute
conspiracies against the interests Of
the people, and in all their phases they
are unnatural and opposed to our
American sense Of fairness. TO the
extent that they can be reached and
restrained by Federal power, the Gen
eral Government should relieve our
citizens from their interference and
exactions.

minds acquiescence in the theory of
an honest distribution of the fund Of
governmental beneficence treasured
up for all, we but insist upon aprinci-
pie which underlies our free institu-
tions. When we tear aside the delu-
sions and misconceptions which have
blinded our couutrymen to their con-
dition under vicious tariff laws, we
but show them how far they have
been lead away from the paths of con-
tentment and prosperity. When we
proclaim that the necessity for reve-
nue. to support the government furn-
ishes the only justification for taxing
the people, eswe announce truth so
plain that its denial would seem to in
dicate the extent TO which Judgment
may be influenced by familiarity with
perversions of the taxing power; and
when we seek to reinstate the self
confident and business enterprise of
our citizens by discrediting an abject
dependence upen governmental power
we strive to stimulate those elements
of American character which support
the hope of American achieve
ment. Anxiety for the redemp-
ton of the pledges which our
party made, and solicitude for the
complete justification of the great
trust imposed in us, constrain me to
remind those with whom am TO CO.
operate that we can succeed in doing
the work which has been especially
set before us only by the most sincere,
harmonious and disinterested effort.
Even if insuperable obstacles and OPP
position prevent the consummation Of
our task, we shall hardly be excused;
and il failure can be traced to our
fault or neglect, we may be sure the
people will hold us to swift and ex-
acting accountability.

EFF1o1ENoY IN AppoINrEEs.

One mode Of the mIsappropriation
of public funds is avoided when ap-
pointments to Office, instead Of being
the rewards Of partisan activity, are
awarded to those whose efficiency
promises fair return Of work for the
compensation paid to them. To Sc
cure the fitness and competency Of ap-
pointees to Office and to remove from
political action the demoralizing mad
ness for spoils, civil service reform has
found a place in our public policy and
laws. The benefits already gained
through this instrumentality and the
further usefulness it promises, entitle
it to the hearty support and encour-
agement of all who desire to see our
public service well performed, or who
hope for the elevation Of political SEN
timent and the publication Of political
methods.

AS TO PROTECTION.

The verdict of our voters which con-
demned the injury of maintaining pro-
lection for projections sake enjoins
upon the peoples servants the duty
of exposing and destroying the brood
of kindred evils, which are the un-
wholesome progency of paternal,sm'
This is the bane of Republican institu-
tions, and the constant peril Of our
Government by the people. 1t de-
grades to the purposes of craft the
plan of rule our fathers established
and bequeathed to us, as an object Of
our love and veneration. 1t perverts
the patriotic sentiment of our country
men and tempts them to pitiful cal
cuation Of the sordid gain to be de-
rived from their Governments main
tenance. 1t undermines the self-reli-
ance of our people and substitutes in
its place dependence upon govern
mental favoritism. 1t stiles the spirit
of true Americanism and stupefies
every ennobling trait of American
citizenship. The lessons of paternal-
ism ought to be unlearned, and the
better lesson taught that, while the
people should patriotically and cheer
fully support their Government, its
functions do not include support Of
the people. The acceptance of this
principle leads to a refusal of bounties
and subsidies which burden the labor
and thrift of a portion Of our citizens
to aid ill-advised or languishing en-
terprises in which they have no con-
cern. 1t leads, also, to challenge of
wild and reckless pension expend-
iture which overleaps the bounds of
grateful recognition Of patriotic SER
vice and prostitutes to vicious uses the

moved that the judgments secured in
