THE UNLAWFULNESSO OF TRUSTS

The opinion of the supreme court rem
dered by Justice Russell in granting an
injunction against the operations of the
National Druggists Association reinforces
long line of already existing decisions
against monopolistic restraint of trade.
The court points out that while it is en-
tirely proper and lawful for the wholesale
druggists in the combination to form an
association for mutual benefit, they be-
come an unlawful conspiracy in restraint
of trade as soon as they begin using their
combination to coerce their customers. :.
ut is in restraint of trade and unlawful"
the court says, "for manufacturers to be-
come a party to combinations which shall
prevent customers from obtaining goods
of other manufacturers because such GUS
toners violate agreements in respect to
cutting prices"
This is good law. 1t is good everywhere
in the United States. No court will chal
lenge it's soundness. Why then is it not
law for the attorney general at Albany?
why it's soundness is doubted in the Office
of the attorney general at Washington?
Why is 1t not publicly enforced through
it's penalties as we'll as through injunc-
tions and private suits? Why are not
lawbreakers sent to jail?-New York

A DISTINCT DIFFERENCE

Attention has been called by the jour
nalistic trenchermen of the Republican
brethren to the marked difference be-
tween the campaign methods of Major Nc
k!nley and those of Mr.. Bryan. The dit
ference is wide enough. certainly. to de-
serve passing notice. Mr.. Bryan is
going through the country meeting his fell
low citizens face to face and discussing
before them those problems of government
in regard to which the opinion of the
people is now very much divided, and upon
which a plebescite will be taken on the 50
of next November. Incidentally it may be
mentioned that large crowds of the plain
American people have attended. at their
own expense, and often by encountering
and overcoming serious physical Difficult
ties, to hear him speak. In this respect
his itinerancy has been in the nature of
a triumphal procession. The interest which
he has excited and the approval which he
has drawn forth have both been of Il
spontaneous character and entirely devoid
Of artificial stimulant. Upon the other
hand. Major Mckinley has sat upon his
porch at Canton receiving. and making
carefully prepared speeches to deputa-
tons of wOrkingmen, of business men. OF
well. of almost every other class of cit
liens but the bankers and millionaire man.
ufacturers of whom the Major is the can
didate. These Populations have resein-
bled in their personnel the claque of the
Partisan theaters. There have been dep
utations of tin workers, of iron and steel
workers, of wood workers. of pottery
workers. and of jaw workers of various
kinds who came by rail from long distances
to see the candidate. III the nature of
things these men did not pay their own
fares. Indeed the theory of the Republic
can falsifiers is that the Wilson tariff has
so ruined the working classes that they
have no money to feed and clothe them
selves much less to spend on railroad fares
and junketng trips. In the nature of
things. therefore, the Populations which
have been filing in front of Major Nc
Kinley's porch at Canton. Ohio. for the
past six weeks have simply been posturing
marionettes rather than an honest incar-
nation of popular political sentiment.
Their expenses have been paid by the
millionaires, corporations and trusts who
employ them. They have not even, in
many instances, been free agents as to
whether they would be members of the
deputations of which they formed indi-
vidual atoms. They were told to go and
they had to go-or lose their Jobs. For
the reasons embodied in and implied by
these facts the spokesman of the Repub-
lican brethren are right in saying that
there is great difference between the
campaign methods of Major Mckinley and
those of Mr.. Bryan. Major Mckinley's
methods are those of the street corner
fakir who environs himself with confed-
crates who buy his goods with great rap
idity at the start and thus convey to the
Sucker" element of the surrounding
crowd the impression that there is great
public demand for what he Is selling.

powers and function of the state. ar
cautious elaboration, with the single
object of providing a guide book in
which the ways to do justice to, and
conserve the rightful interests of, all
people, might not be lightly or flippantly
set aside. The process provided for the
altering or adding to the instrument
was one rendering precipitancy of action
impossible, publicity compulsory and
demanding degree of assent that could
be accepted as rejecting the predomi-
nant sentiment of the people regarding
the proposition involved.
The constitution being the governor of
the office holders, the thing with the
lines by which they must be guided,
whether they be executive, legislative
or judicial. it therefore follows that any
proposition to add to, take from, or
alter it, is really more worthy intelli-
gent consideration than any or all the
candidates for Office before the people.
The best intentioned and most compe-
tent of men may be embarrassed in the
discharge of duties, be unable to avert
undesirable effects when acting accord
ing to the dictates of an unwise or I'M
just constitution. On the other hand the
most INSCRIPTIONS may be restrained
from acts of venality and and the most
incompetent saved from the perpetra-
ton of direful blunders by constitu-
ton of the right kind. The constitution
is the will of the people crystallized; the
will of the people should be right before
it reaches that state. There is no assur-
ance of it's being right except when in
telligent and dispassionate study has
preceded its expression.
Each and every one of the six amend
ments proposed are of consequence and
each and every voter will have neglec-
ted his duty in part until after he has
reached decision regarding them that
is the result of knowledge and reason.

MORE IMPORTANT THAN CAN
DIDATES

In the absorption of the public mind
by the national and local political con-
tests, certain subjects of vital import
ance and entitled to the thoughtful and
intelligent consideration of the ballot
wielders of California and upon which
they will be called to vote at the date
which viii! terminate the battle for the
presidency, for seats in congress and the
legislature and on the judicial bench,
are threatened with indifference. These
subjects are the six amendments to the
state constitution, proposed by the leg
islature at it's last session. These amend
ments are to Articles Kill, H., XII, and
XII, there being two each to Articles IL.
and NJ. They will be designated on the
official ballot as Amendment Number
One" Amendment Number Two" and
SO on until the six have found designa-
ton, but the text of each will not be
printed, so that the voter who would
know their character must study them
as he does the candidate before he COM
mences to mark his ballot. The voters
of the state have had, and will have,
abundant opportunity to read these pro-
posed changes in the fundamental law
of the commonwealth prior to election
day. for the law provides for their lib
eral publication in the public press. For
some time the full text of the amend
ments has been published in The Herald
and the publication in the columns of
this paper will continue until after the
date set for their adoption or rejection
by the people. Very few of the citizens
of Southern California, at least will be
able to justly complain when they enter
the polling booth that they have lacked
opportunity of informing themselves
about the amendments.
1t is safe to say, however, that not %
per cent of the voters of the state have
read these amendments: it is equally
safe to say that majority of the people
voting on election day will not have read
them all, and there would be little risk
in wager that in few precincts in the
state will the total vote cast therein on
any amendment, be equal to the aggre-
gate of the ballots cast for the candidates
for any office that might be named. Nor
is it likely that one-half the citizens vot-
ing on the amendments will be able to
tell as much about the nature of the lat
ter as about the characters and promises
of a majority of the candidates.
Yet the constitution is more important
than any or all of the Office holders of the
state. 1t is by virtue of the constitution
that the men selected at the polls be-
come office holders. The authority ex-
ercised by office holders is by direction
or permission Of the constitution, or OF
the statutes that are in harmony with
that instrument. The constitution is the
ark Of the political covenant. 1t is pre-
sumed to contain the essence Of public
judgment as to the part that tho state
as sovereignty shall take in the affairs
of and between the people. 1t is sup
posed to be, and ought to be, the ulti-
mate safeguard Of public order and in.
dividual right. apdlin order that 1t may

BISMARCK'S BIMETALLISM

The great pilot of the German empire,
who was dropped heedlessly and in a
foolhardy spirit by the hot-headed and
given to the world a brief but expressive
opinion on bimetsllism and on the i'm
mediate situation In the United States.
Prince Bismarck in reply to letter
from Gov. Culberson of Texas wrote:
FREDERICKSBURG Aug. "a.
Honored Sir: Your esteemed favor
has been duly received. l hold that this
is the very hour that would be advisable
to bring about between the nations
chiefly engaged in the worlds commerce
a mutual agreement in favor OF the eS-
Establishment of bimetallism. The United
States are freer by far in their move
ments than any nation of Europe, and
hence if the people of the United States
should find it compatible with their
interests to take Independent action in
the direction of bimetailism, l cannot
but believe that such action would eX-
ert most salutary influence upon the
contamination of an International agree
msnt.
(Signed BISMARCK.
OF course this significant epistle is
open to the torture of the monometal-
lists. 1t is guarded in its tone and the
real expression of opinion that 'such
action cindependent action in the direc-
ton of bimetallism) would exert a
most salutary influence upon the con-
summation of an international agree
ment" is based upon protasis behind
which the gold monometallists and
pseudo international bimetallists will
ambush. They will, of course, declare
that such Independent action is not
compatible with the interests of the
United States" and therefore the pre-
diction of the grand old man of Ger
many falls to the ground.
But careful examination Of the
princes letter will prove to an unpredju-
diced mind that he does not believe in
ternational bimetallism is possible, or
at least probable. by any other route
than that which Mr.. Bryan and the Free
Silver party propose to adopt. 1t is
fair to deduce from the letter that the
prince believes that the United States
being ''freer by far in their movements
than any nation of Europe" is best
equipped to set the example of practical
bimetallism, which example would
exert a most salutary influence upon
the contamination of an international
agreement" Other methods have ig
ANONYMOUSLY failed; any possible modus
operandi suggested by international
conferences has proved of no avail. The
United States has not only a great duty
10 perform in remonetizing silver, but
has the opportunity of plotting the way
for the other great nations of the world.
Although we are told that the advo-
Gates of the free coinage of silver are
either fools for frauds" the wisest stu
dents of finance in Europe have given
their testimony in favor of the independ-
ent action of the United States. Bis
marclS is the greatest imperialist of the
century, the bitterest foe of anarchy"
and. socialism, and behold. he comes
to add his word to those of Cernushi,
Arendt and a score of other bimetallic
experts in support of the theory of the
anarchists" Bsmarck'S words will
be needed, they will be well weighed,
and they will help to swell the majority
in November for William Jennings Bry-
an, the true apostle of bimetallism in

BRYAN AND WAGE-EARNERS

Adherence to the gold standard means
dearer money, and dearer money means
lower prices. For the gold standard Mr..
Mckinley stands Hence his election
would be inimical to the interests of wage
earners. On the other hand, the restora-
ton of silver to its place as money means
that we shall cheaper gold, not in the

for the restoration of silver to its place

the welfare of the wage-earning classes
