MIR, BRYAN TALKS SENSE.

In a recent interview, while in New
York. Hon William j. Bryan voiced the
Belief of the great American people in
as pithy and comprehensive a way as il
could be done. He said:
MY idea concerning the principles
of the Chicago platform is that they
are growing stronger instead of weak
qr. and the condition of the country
to-day has caused the people to see
that the Chicago Platform was the
best to improve their condition, after
ALL | notice everywhere that the
ideas of the Chicago platform are
taking tirmer root in the minds of the
people ON account, partly, of recent
industrial circumstances.
Il notice that those New York
newspapers which severely criti-
cised the Democratic party for ex-
!. pressing the hope that the Supreme
court might be so reconstructed as
to deliver an opinion favorable to the
income tax principle have since been
denouncing the court for it's anti
pooling decision. They have suggest
ed that the Supreme court is getting
sncialistic, and have suggested that
the decision must be overturned by
some future opinion or by legisla-
tive action.
Events have strengthened the ar
.guments made by the Democratic
party in the last campaign, and events
have shown that confidence could
not be revived while prices were fall
ing. Events have also shown that
we were right in declaring that the
fnanciers are bent upon the retire
ment of the of the greenback as well
as upon the exclusion of silver and
the maintenance of the single gold
standard

THE ADVANCE OF THE SOUTH.
Boston Herald.)

There can be no doubt that remarkable
as was the Southern growth in manufac-
lures between 1880 and 1890, the prog
ress of the current decennial term will be
very much more remarkable. The pro-
ducts of the mills, factories and work
shops of the South doubled in value in
ten years covered by the last census,
while the amount of wages and capital
invested was nearly tripled. General
Longstreet asserts that between 1896
and 1895 the capital invested in manu-
lecture in the South has very nearly
doubled. In some branches of production
the increase of invested capital has been
very much above this average, and the
output has correspondingly increased
This is notably so in the case of cotton
seed oil, of coal and of pig iron.
An enthusiastic observer has recently
described the South as region of forests
and coal and iron veins, favored by
health conditions without parallel, and
the best climate in the world. This be
ing so, there can be no reason why, of the
country east of the Mississippi, the south
ern part should not have a population as
dense in proportion to its area as the
northern.

At ITS OWN SWEET WILL.

Senator Allison's amendment, increas
ing the rate on refined sugar from 1876
rents to 1.95 cents per pound, which pass
ed the Senate by majority of two votes
will mean profit to the sugar trust Of
not less than $50, 241, 900. A truer des
eription of the domination Of the Sugar
Trust has not been made than in Sena
tor Caffery's recent speech, when hi
said:
1.-The Sugar Trust, the only gigantic
trust i'm the world which rests en-
9irely on legislation for its support.
By legislation it controls the cane
sugar product of the world, and
whenever it thrusts its hand into the
legislative hall there is always a
faint, kind of malodor arising from
its efforts to get legislation in its
own behalf. If it appears from real
sonable showing that what the trust
asks is too much, it should be re-
fused. The trust overshadows the
earth with it's power. Hawaii, the
West Indies, Egypt, Java and every
where else that the trusts ships touch
it commands the price. Are we
going to accord this institution fur
Their lease of power to raise and con-
troll the price at its own sweet will
and caprice?"

imprisonment. etc. This law did not say
anything about traffic agreements, and
inasmuch as there was no prohibition Of
such agreements, upon the enactment OF
the law, pooling arrangements were dis
continued; but traffic agreements were
still continued without question as TO
their validity until 1880, when the Sher-
man antitrust law was enacted. This
law prohibited every kind of conspiracy,
agreements contracts, or combinations
In restraint of trade.
The question was at once raised that
under this law traffic arrangements were
invalid, but the railroads were advised by
their counsel that this trust law did not
apply 10 them. that they were governed
by the interstate commerce law, and that
traffic agreements were legal, although
they might restrain trade, so long as they
amounted TO nothing more than reason
able regulations. Pursuant to this adj
vice the railroads continued traffic agree
ments after the law of 1890 until the re-
cent decision handed down by the Su-
preme Court, under what is known as the
Trans Missouri Freight Association
Case"
What is that case?"
THAT was suit I'm which it was sought
TO enjoin the Trans-Missouri Freight AS
ISOLATION from maintaining traffic agree
ment which had been entered into prior
TO the law of 1880. The Supreme Court.
by a majority of one, held that the anti
trust law Of 1890 prohibited every kind OF
restraint and that IL was no defence that
the Trans-AIlssouri Freight Associations
agreement was only a reasonable reguia-
ton 1t was declared invalid. because
prohibited by the antitrust law. We
have, therefore, as the result of all this
prohibition of pooling by the interstate
commerce act Of 1857, a prohibition Of
traffic agreements by the Supreme Court
decision Of 1897. The result is that, nos
withstanding the interstate commerce
provisions. under which it was sought TO
bring about the purposes all have been
seeking to accomplish. the roads are re-
mitted 20 where they were before any OF
these methods were applied. There is
