Populism VS.. Republicanism.

PODuItSm VS.. RepuOilCuuIS1hs
The people of Louisiana now begin to
understand how the Pharr combine Is
an entering wedge TO break the solid
South, by using the Third Party dupes
as its tools for this purpose. In his
speech at Winfield last week Capt.
Pharr said, AT home / am called Re-
publican, and that is what / am, but the
only difference between the Republican
party and the Populist party is. the Re
publican party is in South Louisiana and
tho Populist party is in North Lou'si-
ana There were no cheers to this SEN
timent among the old VIM parish Pops
who heard it. and many OF them gave
very dubious shake of the head. Thus
it plainly appears that the Pops have
been hoodwinked into building up tho
Republican party at the expense OF theil
boasted principles, and every man o
them who supports the Pharr ticket vii
have to so back on every profession o
his party faith.

The Tariff and Revenue QuestioA.,

That part of Mr.. Cleveland's clel-
sage which deals with the revenues r3-
moves ali doubt that he would veto the
Dinglcy bill if it should reach hiGl.
OF course. he makes n~oreference what
ever tC thai measure. but he intimates
that the present law yields more rev.
enue than the Mckinley C would I'M
der existing conditions. The deficit,
he believes, is due to the unfavorable
situation: and in view of the fact that
there is SIPS, 900, 900 in the Treasury
available for the payment of govern
mental expenses, exclusive of the gold
fund for greenback redemption, he
thinks the deficit need not alarm the
country.
In, saying, as he does, that the Will
son act has opened the way to a freer
and greater exchange of commodities
thus furnished a wider market for our
products and manufactures" the
President has. in connectionwith what
lie said about the deficit, passed con-
demnation on the Dingley bill. This
measure, in one of its features, puts
wool on the dutiable list. Free WOOL
is the center ofevery freetrade scheme,
and it was earnestly urged by the
President in his historic one-topic an
nual meSsape of 1887 He sticks to
the position, it is evident. that he held
in that deliverance. Therefore the
Dingley bill, which is now in the Sem
ate, may as we'll be dropped. The
time spent upon it, if any time At all
be now devoted to it, will be wasted.
The message removes the faint, the
very faint, possibility that there
would be any revenue legislation by
the present Congress. In the bill
which the House sent to the Senate the
Republicans surrendered as much OF
their historic position or the tariff as
they will give up. Some Republicans
who helped to pass it inthe House 10Y
think too much was surrendered, and
thew desire that the bills sleep in the
Senate be not distured. The Treasury
outlook, it is we'll to remember, is far
better than it a last winter when the
House passed this bill. To be sure,
the monthly deficits are creator, but
the gold fund is much larger, the raids
on the Treasury are ended, and there

Cleveland and His Fortune.

If it be true, as several veracious
chroniclers have lately asserted. that
the good. large gentleman inthe White
House has managed during the past
twelve years to lay up treasures, not
only where moth and rust do not cor
cupt, but elsewhere. to the value of
more than 81 200, 900, Mr.. Cleveland
should receive hearty congratulations
from every member of his flock. And
he, in Mr.. Wayne MacVeagh's inspir-
ed slanguge OF thanksgiving over
McKinley'selection should be proud
er of this country than ever before. "
\ million dollars is a great deal of
money. No ordinary mar could have
accumulated so much. no ordinary
ccuntry's opportunities would &c so
richly yielding in so brief a period,
even though it were a period of riot
Gus prosperity. When it is consider
ed that a large part ofMr. Cleveland's
period Of acquisition is commonly
known and will be blazoned in history
as the Cleveland hard times, the mar
vel does not diminish. Nor is it les
sened by contemplation of the fact. for
which we have the authority of Mr..
Cleveland himself. that the ''commun-
ism of pelf'' during all that time has
been rendering it increasingly difficult
for the pOcr man to get along. For
all these and other reasons the Presi-
dents financial success deserves ad-
miring approval, and ought to be put

The TOIterIng Trusts.

The fact that the Bes5emG" Steel
Pool is in straits and that the Win
COW Glass Trlst is going to pieces.
coupled with the further fact thai the
Wire Nail Trust collapsed recently
and DAT other asgregatiOns Uf the
same order were wrecked, earlier in
the present year, prove that, contrary
to the popular notion, the ''com-
bines'' have their vicisitudes of for
tune like all other forms of business
enterprise. Rapacity, which was the
melting cause in the creation of most
of the pools, has already proved the
undoing OF many of them, and their
overthrow from this cause, ever if the
law were not to intervene, would end
the career of others still apparently
in a fiourishing condition. Through
the greed which impels them to force
up prices until outside competition
necessarily presents itself, the trusts
contain in themselves the seeds of
their own destructi On.
All three of the trusts named here
did great harm to the country, and,
moreover, all of them were, in a GER
tain sense, propped up by the tariff,
for duties are imposed on the articles
in which they deal. But the very
system which aided them at the outset
wrecked them in the end by the home
competition which it had created. The
great number of manufactures which
the tariff built up rendered it impos-
ni:e!y by any sort of d pool, and
hence subjected the combinations to a
pressure which was sure to smash
most of them in the end, and which
did smash, or is about to smash,
these.
1t is the duty, however, Of the Re-
publican party to hasten the smashing
in the case of those combines" which
are a detriment to the country. There
are many of this class in the metal
industries besides the Mil and the
Bessemer Steel Trusts, and all of
them will have to be proceeded against
by the Republicans during McKinley's
term. The trusts can be attacked in
three ways-by a general law of Con-
gress like the Sherman act OF 1890,
