DEMOCRACY AND TRUSTS.

We seem to recollect that some years
ago we used to read occasional editorials
in Democratic papers upon trusts and
combines. We seem to recollcet that in
the editorials aforesaid the trust was in
variably represented as an aggregation
OF avarlclous men, who spent their
nights in concocting schemes to plumber
the people, and their days in putting their
schemes into execution. We seem to
remem Der that according to these same
editorials the wickedest of all these
combines" was the Sugar trust, which
by means of its gigantic monopoly of
one of the necessaries of life was i'm
posing heavy burden upon the poor.
We seem to remember that these same
editorials charged that the existence of
all these trusts, and especially of the
Sugar Trust, was due to Republican
legislation. Furthermore we seem to
recollect that it was promised that if
the Democratic party was given control
of the government all these trusts, es-
pceially the Sugar trust, should be swept
off the face of the earth in the name of
an indignant and outraged people. Well
the people for once took the Democratic
party at its word, and gave them the
power which they craved, as they said,
on behalf of the dear people," In the
Senate on Tuesday the Democratic Sen
ators met one of the trusts-the one the
Democrats have always declared to be
the most diabolical-face to face.
Looking back upon their fierce denuncia-
tions of this institution one would have
supposed that they would have smote it.
hip and thigh, have strangled it, and
ended up with dance of triumph over
the lifeless corpse of this alleged arch
enemy of the dear people" That is Ctr
tainly what they would have done il
they had lived up to their declarations.
The Portland daily press. [volume] (Portland, Me.) 1862-1921, 1894-06-07

But that is not what they did do-far
from it. Instead of strangling the trust
they got down on their knees and said to
it, I'VE are ready to do your bid
ding; what is ill.," Repu blican Sen
ators called their attention to what
they had been saying during the
past four years, they quoted to them
some of their fierce invectives against
the "com bine" but they answered never
word. They did in silence and with a
certain amount of shamefacedness what
the trust ordered them to do. POSTPONE
the time the next schedule shall take
effect until January 1, 1898, that will
give eight months in which we may
import the Cuban crop free of duty, and
then we may add the duty to the price
to the consumer, thus enabling us to
make S34. 100000 without turning our
hands," Thus spoke the trust, not aloud,
but in whisper, yet loud enough to
reach the Democratic ear. And the Sena-
tors obeyed. Make the duty ad
dent Havemeyer, and the Senators bowed
acquiesence. Make the duty on refined
sugar an eighth OF cent pound higher
than on raw sugar else our industry will
be exposed to the competition of foreign
reiners," and the Senators said" Be it SO.
And this is the way the Democratic
party throttled the Sugar trust. The
stock of brass owned by that
party is very large, but it would seem
impossible that after this performance,
this abject surrender, this complete
compliance with every demand of the
Sugar trust, it could ever have the
effrontery to roll out of it's mouth any
more of those high-sounding phrases
about the iniqulty of trusts and "com-
hinac

Only on the superstition that the whole
Democratic party is under obligations
to the trust, is the action of the majority
yesterday expiicable. There is no other
way to account for this extraordinary
course. But the people will have to
be given very different explanation be-
fore they lend further support to party
thus committed. A more shameless
violation of the popular confidence was
never seen.-SpringtieldR Republican.

There is some prospect that rGov.

the United States Senate. He was nomi-

with the understanding that if they car

Though the Republicans have carried
the State on the general ticket by large
majority, the complexion of the legisla-
ture is in doubt, with chance that the
Populists may control it. If the Popu-
lists are to elect the senator Pennoyer
is certainly the man they should choose.

THE CORRECT VIEW.

The following very sensible remarks
are the utterances of the Lynchburg
Advance:
'tTLe newspaper men of the United
States, or, more correctly, the majority
of them, have made serious blunder
for which they are paying heavily every
day. We refer to this object of charity
demeanor they so stupidity assume.
"In nearly every place the public con-
siders that the one being it can abuse,
and receive no abuse in return, is the
humble paste-pot printeI-editor.
"This must be fought against, and
the notion cleared away; for the editor
and publisher is just as important man
in a town or village as the banker or dry
goods merchant, and is not being to be
supported in the same way that one
supports an orphan asylum.
The newspaper man gives fair
proquid quo, asks no one to help him
along but by his brain and all round
horse-sense keeps the town alive, and
draws customers into the advertisers
stores.
"Of course we don't suggest that he
should be a bore, and bully every one.
He should do no such thing, but be a
courteous, cultured, competent gentle
man, and at the same time be man.
