NICARAGUA WILL SETTLE.

Nicaragua e decision TO pay the indemnity
demanded 10y England spikes another Jingo
gun. The possible infringement of the
Monroe doctrine gave great opportunity TO
persons addicted TO the war-at-any-cost
habit and now that the Nicaragnan incident
has taken position on the shelf with the
Spanish imbroglio nothing remains for
them to shout about except the Hawaiian
outrage.
1t sometimes seems strange what mighty
noise a small object can create, aud also
what an immense amount OF patriotism can
be found where no danger exists. The
gallant fighters who breathed so much blood

OF war with Spain than there was of our
being swallowed up by an earthquake.
They were also aware that Nicaragua
would find a way TO settle with England
before permitting that country to resort to
extreme measures. But they must find vent
for Jingoism regardless Of consequences,
and they shouted as if to screw up
courage.

TEE NEXT cAxPA1eN ISSUE.

The silver question is growing in i'm
portance and seems destined to be an in
fuential factor in the coming campaign.
President Cleveland's Cabinet have become
alarmed and VIII soon take the stump in the
Interests OF lie administration policy, and
Mr.. Cleveland has published a letter
favoriug gold basis. The free
silver leaders are marshaling their
forces for an aggressive fight against the
anti-silverites, and il looks as if the air
would be full OF money talk before many
months.
The issue VIII be International versus
national bimetalIism. The question 10 be
settled is whether or not this country shall
wait for Europe to adopt a ratio to coin both
gold and silver on equal terms. At present
tits not q political issue because both parties
are divided, but should either party nom
inate q silver candidate against one pledged
70 the contrary policy party lines would be
obliterated and the issue would be for or
against free silver.
Laying aside sentiment and looking at
the question from a business standpoint,
free silver without European co-opera-
ton appears like financial suicide. This
country must necessarily depend largely
upon foreign trade, foreign demand and
foreign investments. A large amount
OF national. State, municipal and private
corporation bonds have been placed at home
and abroad and made payable, interest and
principal, in gold. And should we be-
come a silver basis nation it would be
troublesome TO meet these obligations with
gold at premium
This country could maintain its trade,

CONCERNING rRusrs

il is important that a way be found TO
prevent trusts from controlling our markets.
So long as they do not increase prices or
oppress labor they are not injurious, but
when given power 10 do both they become
dangerous and should be destroyed.
II has been repeatedly demonstrated that
competition is the only leveler OF prices.
Human nature is grasping and when given
license TO overcharge, few men can resist
the temptation. The sole object in organ
lzing trust is TO increase prices, lessen the
cost OF production and control the market
This is done by combining the separate
interests in any one industry and destroying
competition. This scheme carried into
effect addsto thecost ofliving and cuts down
the rate Of wages, both of which are
detrimental TO the public welfare.
Trusts depend entirely upon national
legislation for their existence When
Congress enacts a law that prohibits
foreign competition ii also licenses in
dustries to unite in controlling domestic
trade. The latest evidence OF this fact
is the Beef Trust, which is protected from
1oTtlEh competition bg d uulS Oh ~ peI
ceIlt With all its influence and agencies
the Beef Trust could not corner the mar
ket and maintain high prices without a
protective duty.
The shortest and quickest way to destroy
trusts is TO abolish tariff duties on all
commodities they control. If they can
Withstand the Ievelling influence of for
eign competition there can be no objection
TO their existence. 1t seems Impossible
TO get rid OF them by legal prosecution;
why not destroy the tariff schedules
which give them existence?
