ANTITRUST BUNCOMBE.

Mr.. Cleveland is on record in several
places as an advocate of the policy of re-
straining trusts. Mr.. Cleveland's AttOr-
ney-GeneTal now informs Mr.. Cleveland
that trusts cannot be restrained. The
Sherman antitrust law is well enough un-
til the time comes to enforce it. Then in
Attorney General Olney's opinion 1t be-
comes impracticable. The difficulty of
enforcing any law which restraints the ex-
ercise Of what money considers its rights
is more clearly observable as time goes on.
According to the dictum OF men Of the
ODey type the Only class that can be re-
strained is the class that have nothing
The right of woTkingmen to combine to
resist reduction in wages below fair
standard of living may be denied, but no
law may be enforced which restraints the
right of the capitalist 10 make two dollars
out Of one. With good deal of ostenta-
tiOn Mr. Cleveland mounted an antitrust
platform and Immediately proceeded to
fish for CORPORATION lawyer 10 serve as
his legal adviser. He found Olney with
out much fficulty. Olney was serving as
the legal adviser Of two railway com bina-
tlOns, and still had leisure to act as Attor-
ney-GenerRl of the United States. 1t is
not known that he has given up his salary
in either Of his private Offices, nor is it
known that he has done anything to earn
the salary he draws from the United
States treasury. 1t is we'll that Olney
should state openly the legal view be
takes of trusts. There has never been an
expectation that he would do anything,
and it is just as we'll to know that in his
opinion there is nothing to be done. With
out doubt John w. Rockefeller will en-
tlrely agree with Acknowledgement Olney
that trusts are unassailable in law. So
ciety may abridge all other rights and
privileges, but when it attempts to re-
strain the exercise of law-machinery by
which such schemers as Rockefeller make
500. 100000 in twenty years society itself
must be restrained Such appears to be
the gospel of the Cleveland administration,

THE INDUSTRIAL OUTLOOK.

At no time has the industrial outlook for
California been more promising than at
the. present date. The forces of nature
lave all worked in our behalf. There has
been rain enough. and rot too much.
Flows have been set to running in ali parts
of the State and nowhere has there been
damage from foods The atmosphere is co OIL
and crisp, but not cold. All the people of
the State can ask is that conditions may
remain as favorable as they now are.
While there is no reason to look for a ma
terial falling off in the wheat product. there
will be an immense gain in fruit. This is
by far the most profitable agricultural crop
the State produces. Wheat hardly ever
pays. more than S15 an acre, while fruit
ranges from $50 10 $50. Every hundred
acres therefore that is added to the orchard
area is substantial gain. Another grow
ing crop is beet sugar. While the profit on
an average beet sugar crop is not so great
as on fruit, the beet has an advantage in
the fact that market is assured. 1t will
be long time before the home demand for
sugar will be supplied by the home product.
Both fruit and sugar give employment to
more men per acre than grain. The cost
ri cultivation is greater, but the returns
are correspoudingjy large. In the minor
branches of agriculture the progress is
steady. We make more of our butter
and cheese than we did a few wears
ago. grow more of our poultry and
cure more of our meats. What the
State needs is Industries which will
probably employ a larger population.
- Machinery does most of the work in grain
fields, but in some of the minor branches
which are growing in importance each year
human labor is a necessity. When one looks
carefully around no real cause appears for
hard times. There are several industries
which may be prosecuted as advantage
ously in this State as in the East TO which
our people have as yet given little atten-
ton. These minor fields of labor will be
occupied as the State fills up with people
whose minds have not been prejudiced
against small Industries by the grand spec
ulative possibilities with which pioneer
days in this State dazzled the eyes Of old
residents as well as newcomers.

PROBABLE FAIR PLAY FOR
BRAZIL.

The probability of European interference
in the affairs of Brazil was at no time i'm
minent and Gladsione'S answer in the
House of Commons sets rumor at rest as far
as England is concerned. Germany comes
next to England in her commercial inter
ests, but the likelihood of Germany taking
a hand in the row is remote. Portugal has
no money, Austria cannot stir in a foreign
intrigue requiring a navy, and Italy, al
though she has moro subjects in Brazil
than any other European power. has many
other things to think about. France would
give no thought to a restoration of mon
archy. Ii the grandson of Dom Pedro is
to ascend the throne he must do so by his
own efforts, aided by family money, but
not assisted out of any nations taxes.
The European monarchs have quite enough
TO do to keep their own positions secure.
The utmost any of them would attempt
would be to secure satisfaction for any I'M
warrantable outrage committed by the
c0mbatants. But it is well that a sufficient
American feet is on guard to see that
there is fair play in the fighting.

NOT SMOOTH SAILING.

The completion of the Manchester canal
furnishes an example of the tenacity with
which established interests cling to ac-
quired advantages. The Manchester canal
enables ships to give Liverpool the go-by and
land goods in Manchester without paying
tribute to the railroads terminating at
Liverpool. These railroads have now CON-
bned to make discriminating rates against
Manchester and in favor of Liverpool
Ocean freights to Manchester are 6shiIlings
per ton higher than TO Liverpool. and it is
expected that by railroad discrimination
against Manchester the canal will be made
Improbable. The authorities at Liver
pool also propose to reduce dock charges.
1t is question now whether the owners
of the canal will find the financial obsta-
cIes thrown in their way more difficult to
overcome than the engi neering difficulties
they have surmOunted.

instruments should have been considered more

Francisco schOolteacher who recently decided
that she would learn TO perform upon the

Paderewski who is cOncertiZng in England
with golden results, has recently been accused
of playing his Polish fantasia once too often.
The critics and public alike declare that they
are tired of hearing it at all his piano recitals.
On the other hand, Edward Lloyd, the great
English tenor, has introduced a new album OF
PaderewskPs songs at the London popular con-
certs with instantaneous success. Many Of
these compositions are very beautiful, and are
said to contain all the elements for a WIDE
spread popularity. In this they differ from
the intricate fantasia for no pianist has yet
found the courage publicly to compete with
PaderewsKi in Interpreting it.

THE WORK OF CONGRESS.

According to Speaker Crisp, who is
probably well informed, the work of Con-
gress has been so we'll cut out for 1t in
committee that no delay need occur in
passing the measures upon which the ma
1ority are agreed. Some infer from the
tone of the opposition press that the Re-
publicans do not propose to accept battle
on the issues now offered, but that they
deem it wiser to let the administration
party have full swing and to reserve
their fire for period in which it can be
made effective for the campaign of 1896
That would be neither polite nor public
spirited. 1t is Impossible that radical
changes can be carried into effect without,
changes which will result disastrously to
business and labor. 1t is possible that O.

aided by Democrats who deprecate the
sacrifice OF American industries. may suf-
fee to prevent tariff tinkering in the Sem
ate II not in the House.
1t appears that the Committee of WAYS
and Means refuses to accept dictation
from the President. The scheme of his
personal representative, Bourke Cochran,
to levy an income tax on corporations and
none on individuals was voted down in
the committee by TO 4. 1t evidently
struck the majority of the committee as a
piece of demagogy. In appearing to hit
only at corporations, it would in many
cases actually reach the small holders Of
investment stocks. Directors of corpora
tions would either take the tax out of div-
dends or get it out of the public in the way
of business, while the management, which
usually represent the obnoxious feature
of corporations, would make as much
money as ever. Although it is admitted
that an income tax would be evaded by
the dishonest. it has seemed to some econ
omists that even with this draw back it was
just tax. But its justice would not be
apparent if it were levied only on those
who combined small means together to
operate as members OF corporation. and
# those who did business as individuals,

THE HAWAIIAN QUESTION.

The New York Sun says, commenting
upon the interest manifested throughout
the East on the Hawaiian question:
Even the new tariff bill, appealing TO mems
pockets and touching chord that vibrates In
every shop, store ana home, has been less dis.
cUssed and has had devoted to 1t less space in
our great newspapers than this same so-eaIled
Insignificant Hawaiian question.
This view Of the relative Importance of
what may be termed Atlantic and Pacific
coast policies is in sharp contrast with
those expressed by New York journals
generally. The Herald and the Times con-
slider the question of annexation as of no
other importance than that it should be
settled without any departure from estab-
lished rules. The territory of the island
is not considered of much value. nor are
the people desirable acquisition to our
population. The strategic value of the
islands does not enter into the discussion.
There is an apprehension that the islands
may cost more than their assessed value,
and that settles the whole question The
light of the Sun penetrates the West as
well as the East, and enables the conduct
ors of that journal to perceive that the
Hawaiian Islands are to the Pacific Coast

FREE IRON AND FREE COAL.

Mr.. Edward Atkinson has contribute
an article to the Baltimore Manufacturers
Record in support of the claim that free
coal and free iron will stimulate the iron
industries not only of the Atlantic Coast
States but in the South To this article
Congressman Wheeler of Alabama has
the summing up:
The effect of free coal and free ore would be
TO remove the iron Industries from the interior
10 The seabOard. This would mean tie utter
paralysis of the existing industrial regions
While this change was being MADE.
Mr.. Henry Watterson, one of the authors
of the Democratic tariff plank. objects to
Congressman Wheeler's view as sectional.
The iron industry having been built up in
the South and elsewhere by the protective
tariff, the South is selfish and sectional
when it seeks to protect itself from legis-
latiOn which threatens serious loss if not
absolute ruin. The Democratic PROPOSE
ton to let in coal and iron free is in the
interest of the Atlantic seaboard and of
foreign producers of iron. While Ala
bama can perhaps produce iron as cheaply
as In the foreign countries from which
imports Of iron may be expected, the
foreign countries have the advantage in
the cost OF transportation. To statesmen
OF the Atkinson and Watterson school the
world Is one vast human family. No part
of this family has right to be better off
than any other part. If Chinaman can
better his condition by coming to the
United States, they hold that be has per-
feet right to come. If he en- remain in
his own country and send the products of
his industry to the United States, it is held
to be his right to have the free run of our
markets. Tariff reform in the direction of
tariff for revenue is but step toward free

The reports of diminishing runs of
salmon in certain overfshed waters do not
apply to the Fraser River, where there has
been the largest catch known in the his
tory of the industry. The Gamers have
packed not less than 1900 tons of salmon,
sufficient to load six ships with about 1000
tons EACH This is magnificent food sup
ply, which only requires the cooperation
of the capitalist and fisherman TO continue
and extend. The whole coast line teens
with fish of various marketable species,
and there Is no reason why the Pacific
fisheries should not rival or excel those of
the Atlantic Coast, particularly in north

employs 5000 fishermen and cannery hands.

The Imperial Federation League of
Great Britain and her colonies broke down
upon an attempt to focus action upon a
practical scheme, the desirability of which
was suggested by Lord Salisbury. A re-
port Of special committee on the subject
was adopted, but 9fteTward 1t was found
that paralyzng differences of opinion
existed. There were members who held
divergent views on commercial union,
upon the fiscal policy of England itself,
upon the defense OF the empire and colo
NAL participation therein, and upon
colonial influence and Tepresen tation In
the affairs of the United Kingdom. 1t is
