hour for the monopolistS to appear here

Senator Plumb Of Kansas, in a speech
made on the 9th OF June, 1890, said:
"Mr. President, shall be sur
prised If the producers Of this country
are much longer content with this con-
dition Of affairs. They have q right to
feel as they do, that they and their in
tsrests should be taken into account.
The functions which they exercise are
superior to those Of the money changer
or the commission man. They have q
right to the fruits of their labor, and il
the civilization Of the period denies it to
them, they will pray to bs remsnded to
less civilized condition"
And on March 21, 1890, Senator
Sherman Of Ohio, the senate having
under consideration Senate bill No. l
("Trusts', said:
"If the concentrated powers Of this
combination are instructed to single
man, it is a kingly prerOgative, incon-
sistent with our form OF government,
and should be subject to the strong re-
sistence Of the state and national Ru-
thorities. II anything is wrong this is

should not submit to an RutOcrRt of

tion and to fix the price Of any commod-
ity. II the combination 10 confined to q

if it is interstate and controls any pro-
duction in many states, congress should
apply the remedy. II the combine

should be promptly changed, and, il
necessary, equal competition with all the
world should be invited in the monopo-
lized article. II the combination effects

falls clearly within the power Of con.

do not think 80. Sir, now the
people Of the United States as we'll as Of
other countries are feeling the power
and grasp Of these combinations, and
are demanding Of every legislature and
Of congress a remedy for this evil, only
grown into huge proportions in recent
times. They had monopoIies and mort
mains Of old, but never before such
giants as in our day. You must heed
their appeal or be ready for the socialist,

part Of the country. They are imported
from abroad.
"They are we'll depicted by
the senator from Mississippi in this lam
gusge and / viii read it 90 my own with
quotation marks. These trusts and
combinations are great wrongs to the
people. They have invaded many Of the
most important branches Of business.
They opersts with q double-edged
sword. They increase beyond the cost
Of the necsssaries OF life and business
and they decrease the cost Of the raw
material, the farm products Of the COun-
try. They regulate prices at their will, de-
press the price Of what they buy and in
crease the price Of what they sell. They
aggregate to themselves great, enormous
wealth by extortion which makes the
people poor. Then, making this ex-
torted wealth the means Of further ex-
tortion from their unfortunate victims,
the people Of the United States, they
pursue unmolssted, unrSstrained by law,
their ceaseless round of speculation
under the law, till they are fast pro-
ducing that condition In our people in
which the great mass Of them are the
servitors OF those who have this aggre-
gated wealth at their command .
y "Sir, the object aimed at by
this bill ia to secure competition Of the
productions Of different states which
necessarily enter into interstate and
foreign commerce. These combinations
strike directly at the commerce over
which congress alone has Jurisdiction.
Congress may regulate interstate and
foreign commerce. and il is absurd to
contend that congress may not prohibit
contracts and arrangements that are
hostile to such commerce.
Congress also has power 'to lay and
collect taxes, duties, imports, and ex-
cises.' It may exercise its own disCre-
tion in acting upon this power, and is
only Responsible to the people for the
abuse of the power. All parties, from
the foundation Of the government, have
held that congress may discriminate
in selecting the objects and rates Of tax
alton. y
ain no respect does the work Of our
fathers in framing the constitution of
the United States appear more like the
work of the Almighty Ruler Of the uni
verse rather than the conception Of hu-
man minds, than by the gradual devel-
Opment and application Of the powers
conferred by it upon different branches
of the federal government. Many OF
these powers have remained dormant,
unused, but plainly there, awaiting the
growth and progress Of our country, and
when the time comes and the occasion
demands, we find in that instrument
provided for thirteen states a thread
along the Atlantic and containing 4,000,-
600 OK people, without manufactures,
without commerce, bankrupt with debt,
without credit or wealth, all the powers
necessary to govern q continental en-
pire Of forty-two states, with 65 100000
Of people, the largest in manufactures,
the second in wealth, and the happiest in
it's institutions Of all the nations Of the
world.

A Step Toward Making Railroad

A thought that doubtless occurs 20 many
who travel frequently on our railways Is
that the leading trunk lines are conscious
ly or unconsoiously making long distance
railway travel very like steamship travel,
but only for the men. One OF the great
roads throws sop 10 the women IN the

three meals n day In the dining cars bring
as many more breaks in the routine, but
these visits TO the diner are the only re-
freshing changes for the women, who grow
more and more numerous in the cars.
The newest thing in railroading takes
the form Of bedroom sleeping cars Of great
magnifcence but uncertain promise that
one company now runs between New York
and Chicago on the fastest fiiers. These
cars carry strong suggestion Of being
English, and a still stronger resemblance
TO the old Mann boudoir plan Of car build
ing. They differ from the Mann patent in
having the rooms on one side as far as the
middle Of the car, where the hallway turns
across the car, and the rest of the bedrooms
are on the other side of the car. The bed
rooms are comparatively large, and each
one contains an upper and "A lower berth,

sleepers. Women can undress in their
rooms with the doors shut, without fear
of intrusion, and with plenty of room for
the operation, and so can men. Once in
bed there is no danger Of any ones falling
in upon the sleepers as a curve is turned
and some luckless pedestrian is flung
through the curtains. Each room can be
ventilated as desired, and the snores and
baby's cries and bedroom odors OF the old
style cars are all shut out of these private
rooms.
But in all probability the average trav-
eler will never know, until he gets in one
of these new cars, how much he liked the
chance the old style cars gave for looking
at the other passengers. The other pas
scngers lightened the journeys They were
interesting and amusing, and enduring
friendships were often made between men
and men, and women and women, in the
open saloon sleepers. Now the traveller

II Is well that there are compensauons
for the woes Of the new made bride, else
she would begin 20 10 * upon marriage
in very gloomy light.
There is no escape for her short OF the

niliar with all varieties and are never
deceived 1t Is the Elme Win hotel func-
fionaries, and even the street ganmins
follow her carriage for chance to earn
a dime from the overgenerous groom.
The attention which she receives inme-
dately gives the cue 20 those not so well
yersed IN the detection Of brides and they
at cnce begin to watch her every move
ment.
She enters a hotel dining room and there
Is a subdued buzz Of here comes the
bride" from every table. People usually
remember their manners sufficiently TO
abstain from comment while she is pres
ent, but the moment she leaves the room
they begin to critise.
If she is dressed as a bride should be
dressed you will hear them say: well, If
ever l am married l shall not put on a
matrimonial uniform to advertise the
fact" or. ''Why Is it that brides never
can act sensible
But If she has endeavored TO dress with
as little ostentation as possible they are
no better pleased, ana cxclaim: isn't
she too dowdy for anythingl"
Even at the ceremony itself she does
not escape criticism. for her bridesmaid
is almost sure to look better than she,
and if she says II do in a full and clear
tone some one will remark about her ca
gerness TO have the contract sealed.
while on the other hand she must speak
loud enough TO be heard all over the
making promises.
on the whole, the brides pathway Is
not all flowery. so do not neglect her,
you who have so lately taken her under
your protection. 1t is, Of course, the
most important event Of her life and
there are many things OF interest TO her
besides her wedding outfit. though that is
a very great consideration. The wedding
dress receives the most attention, and
there seems to be an improvement OF
late in the style Of such gowns. They
are not so unbecoming as formerly. The
dress in the picture is made Of satin and
brocade, with a full but not very long
train. The bodice has an added basque
around the back. IL fastens 10 the side
and Is ornamented with four large satin
covered buttons. Draped revers edged
with duchess lace fall from the shoulder,
where they are trimmed with punches OF
orange blossoms. The gloves reach TO
the large sleeves where they are fastened
with a band Of flowers.

GEN. HARRISON on COxEYIsM.
1t is Difficult TO Foresee the End-Wash-
ington Must Deal with 81.


INDIANAPOLIS, April 2S.4Ex-Presl-
dent Harrison last night talked on the
Coxey Commonweal movement, which
has developed since he went TO California.
He said:
81 am not sufficiently acquainted with
the character of the men VINO are enlist
ing in the on-to-Washington army TO
express myself as perhaps | should Ike.
The movement is not a cause, but an
effect Of causes, which no good citizen
can conscientiously deny have for
midable appearance. To properly speak
OF this one feature would necessitate a
lengthy discussion of the social and
moral influences that underlie the old
standing institutions OF the country.
The men engaged In the march 10
Washington more intimately concern us
just now. l am unable to say whether
these recruits, whose numbers are still
small comparatively, represent the I'M
employed-men unavoidably without
work-or whether they are tramps.
ION this point depends largely what
they may be able to accomplish when
they once reach Washington. The novel;
~ OF the army, the thirst for adventure,
and kindred motives just now appeal
largely TO many to engage in the move
ment
They may have no settled purpose.
They meet with a hurrah in some places
at others they may be driven to unfore-
seen extremes by hunger or exposure.
There is n disposition to pass on the
Commonweal as soon as 1t takes up its
camp in a town.
While 1t is split up in small divisions
there Is no great hardship in caring for
the men. When they finally reach Wash
ington-well that is a question for Wash
ington city to deal with"
