A Blow at Trusts.

WASHINGTON, June 5, 1894 An import
ant amendment to the Tariff bill was intro
duced in the Senate yesterday by Mr..
Morgan. It strikes a blow direct at trusts
Of all sorts.
The amendment provides that every com
bination, conspiracy. trust, agreement or
contract is declared to be contrary
to public policy and null and void
when made by or between two or
more persons or corporations engaged IN
the Importation of goods from foreign
countries where such trust, ETC.,
is intended to- operate in the re-
straint of lawful trade or to
increase the marriage price OF the product
or article in which it deals or seeks to con-
troll The amendment further pro
vides that every person so en-
gagged in violation of this section
or who shall combine as set forth shall be
guilty of a misdemeanor punishable by a
fine of not more than S5,000 and the i'm
prisonment for less than three or more than
twelve months
1t also provides that any property or
goods brought into the United States under
any contract or combination in violation OF
this law, in course OF transportation from
one State to another, shall be forfeited
to the United States and may

forbidden by the act may recover threefold
the damages sustained.

FALLAoY OF THE GOLD RESERVE

To those of our misguided countrymen
who still believe that our currency and
other national obligations, or those of any
other gold standard nation on earth are
adequately Secured by the possession Of
gold coin or bullion, we wish to say that the
world contains today hardly one-tenth
enough of that precious metal to pay the
obligations now existing and payable in gold
alone The other nine-tenths is secured by
credit, and it must at once appear that this
credit cannot be based on the possession of a
commodity which has no existence Upon
what. then, is this enormous credit based!
Simply upon the wealth and resources of the
nations, not in the form Of gold or any other
one commodity but existing in the posses
sions the productive industry, and the
good faith Of the people-the best security
that could possibly be imagined
The idea Of maintaining gold reserve as q
basis of credit is a most palpahle fallacy !;
but, under our present fallacious system, it
is necessity, and costly one. Our treasury
has reserve today of less than S100, 900, 900.
with every prospect Of having none at all in
the near future. We venture the prediction
that if every dollar of this reserve be drawn
from the vaults our securities will suffer no
reduction in price at home or abroad, and
every dollar ever issued by our government
will possess as much purchasing power as it
does today. The real security will remain
uninpaired, although the last dollar of gold
may disappear Blue and Gs'ay for May

NATIONAL REFORM UNION.
Meeting OF Men Opposed TO the
House of Lords.
81 Cable to the United rress.


81 Cable to the United Prcss.
LONDON, June 5, 1894. The conference of
the National Reform Union, a movement in
favor Of the abolition of the House of Lords,
or at least a considerable abridgment of the
power of that body, was opened here this
morning with the Hon Philip James Stan
hope, M P, in the chair.
After the preliminary work of organizing
conference Mr.. Labouchere submitted a
resolution that whenever the House of Lords
should reject bill which had been
passed by the House of Commons it would
only be necessary for the latter body to
signify its approval Of the measure by a
formal vote when the bill would forthwith
become law. In proposing the resolution
Mr. Labouchere said that he himself was in
favor of the abolition of the House of Lords
root and branch, but to be practical they
must first see what they are likely to ac-
complish
The House of Lords, he said, was an 1r-
responsible and pernicious assembly which
was opposed to the elementary principles of
self-government, and therefore it ought to
be swept out of existence.
Mr.. r. j. D. Burnie NJ p. made speech
seconding the motion of Mr. Labeuchere, and
it was adopted by unanimous vote
Sir Charles Dixie introduced resolution
that the franchise ought to rest upon the
personal fitness of the voters alone and not
depend upon the possession of property or
| the occupation of premises; also the districts
should pay the election expenses aud the
State pay members of the House of Com
mons and order second ballots

Special to the Jerseu City NelCs.
STATE HOUSE, TRENTON, June 5, 1884,
Judge Albeit this morning refused to grant
an order for the e1huming of the body of
James B. Lippincott, the States Prison
Keeper, for whose murder convict Joseph
Wallwitz is now under sentence
of death. Lippincott is buried in
Philadelphia cemetery and his wife
opposes any further handling Of his remains
Judge AbDet5 said the court was absolutely
without any power to order the disinternlent,
but be suggested that the counsel for the
condemned man go before the Court OF
Pardcns, who, while considering an apphca-
tion for his pardon, could, and probably
would, ask the authorities of Penn
sylyania for permission in the interest of
Justice to take the body up. The object Of
the proposed re-examination of the body Is
to determine definitely whether the bullet of
the convict or one fred by q deputy prison
keeper killed Lippincott The bullets were
never taken from the body, and were, of
course, therefore, not produced at the trial.
The conviction of the convict under these cir
cumstances has caused widespread comment
in New Jersey and local sentiment is strongly
against his execution until the proof of his
guilt is established in the regular way.
Counsel of Wallwitz will no doubt follow
Judge Abbett's suggestion and go before the
Court Of Pardons

URBAN AND RURAL MARRIAGE

In the North Atlantic division which CON
stitutes the principal manufacturing section
of the country a section made up largely of
urban populations, the single are found in
smaller proportion than in any other part of
the country, and the married and widowed
in larger proportions. Conversely, the South
Atlantic and South Central divisions, which
are almost purely agricultural and rural,
contain the largest proportion Of
single persons and the smallest
proportion of the married. These results
are directly opposed to the popular belief.
1t is assumed that the development of urban
population dininishes the number of the
married. The explanation which naturally
suggests itself is that the larger proportion
of marriages in the manufacturing sections
of the country is due not only the fact that
the native white population married young
and in large proportion at all ages, but also
to the fact that the foreign whites, who have
settled in large numbers in the North At
lantic division, were either married or of
marriageable age at the time of their inn
migration.-Jat7ae Forum.
