Washington, June 5.-Upon the open
ing OF the senate today, letter from tn,
secretary of state was received, transmit
ting letter from the minister of Austrii
Hungary, Baron Won Hegelm ueller, pro
testing on behalf of his government
against determinations in the sugar
schedule of the pending tariff bill, against
Austria Hungary. Consideration of the
tariff bill was then resumed. Senator
Jones of Arkansas, spoke against the ad
ditional tax on lumber, referring to the
heavy burden it imposed on the people
of the west. He said the rates of the bill
were the result of systematic effort by
alumbermen, and read letter from the
National Lumber company issued from
it's office in Washington, urging that pc
titions to senators and members be pre-
pared, bearing the names of workingmen.
Senator Vest said there was not single
item in the bill so utterly indefensible as
that of taking white pine from the free
list, and placing the rate at 50 per thous-
and feet
THE LUMBER SCHEDULE.
In the senate this afternoon, Senator
Bacon, Democrat, of Georgia, made a
vigorous response to the attack by SEN
ator Vest on the lumber schedule, and es.
pecially on the white pine rates which
the Missouri senator characterized as the
most indefensible part of the bill. Sem
ator Bacon resented the Characterization
as unjust, saying the average rate
schedule was only 20 per cent, and assert
ing that he would supportit.

Government Teiegraphs.

Why should not every postoffice be q
telegraph station under government
control:
Strike your congressman while the
iron is hot for government control OF
the telegraph.
Make the subject Of government con-
troll of the telegraph q matter OF in
terest to candidates for congress OF
any and all parties.
Last year the telegraph lines OF Grea.
Britain, owned by the government,
transmitted over S0,O0O,O 900 messages. In
this country the Western Union mo-
nopoly handled very little over two
thirds that number. However. what
the matter lacked in business it more
than made up in charges. The differ
ence is that on the other side the bust
ness is done at cost for the benefit of
all the people, while in this country
users of the telegraph are compelled to
pay all that the traffic will bear for the
benefit of a private monopoly. How
much longer are We going to stand it?
Relief is in sight. See or write to your
senator's and congressman and insist
that they vote for the bills now pend.
ing in both houses for the establish.
ment of a postal telegraph. :.

ABOUT THE FUTURE.
Depression in Business Did Not Prevent
Corporations ana Trusts from

Making Money.
1t is a generally accepted fact that
business has never been SO dull as dur
ing the past year. There have been
many failures and thousands of bust
ness houses have only been able to
keep cut OF bankruptcy by borrowing
money at usurious rates. sacrificing
property and reducing expenses to a
minimum. This has resulted in wide
Spread hardships and misery to thou
sands OF people. OF course there Is no
question, now that the election Is over,
that there will be a general revival in
all lines OF business, but how about
the past year? Did the depression in
business and the tightness Of the
money market prevent the trusts from
making any money. Not the least.
The monopolies realized their usual
enormous profits and they will con-
tinue to make money for several years,
now that Mckinley is elected.
The Standard Oil Company paid in
dividends to its stockholders during the
fiscal year ending November ], the
sum Of $30,149,500. This represents
quarterly dividends Of 3 per cent and
an additional dividend every quarter.
The American Sugar Refining Com
pany, commonly termed the sugar
trust. paid to Its stockholders during
the same period s7,02S,12O in dividends.
In addition to this enormous sum the

fer Altgeld, Tillman and Debs the un-

and the unnecessary condemnation OF

election.
Senators Jones and Butler had no

Confidence.

It cannot be denied that there Is
great deal in the business world de-
pending upon confidence. but we
scarcely dare to hope that confidence
alone will restore prosperity to THIS
country. When banks and capitalists
put their money out, either as loan
or an investment, they must OF course
have confidence" that they Will not
only receive back the principal, but a
return for the use of their money. Ii
conditions are such that the value OF
their money is appreciating, the secur-
ity they demand must be gilt-edge, and
but few are able to give it. AS re-
suit, money is boarded because Is 1t IS
appreciating in value and all commod-
tiles depreciating in the same ratio'
no man wants to trade money for COM
modities, or invest 1t in enterprise.
This boarding, therefore, not only aS-
gravates the situation until something
takes place that restores confidence
and induces men to let go OF their
money. 1t is claimed that the election
of Mr.. Mckinley will do this, and we
sincerely hope that it will. We are
frank to confess, however, that We can
see no good, substantial reason why 1t
should do so, other than the one that
it is a change from Grover Cleveland.
The general opinion is that 1t cannot
be any worse, and the universal hope Is
that it may be for the better. For this
reason alone we may hope to see better
times under the Mckinley administra-
ton than We have had under that OF
Cleveland. But the republicans make
no pretense Of doing anything that Will
materially aid in establishing perma-
nent prosperity. We will have the
same grinding Of trusts and relentless
taxation by railroad corporations. The
ueury mill will continue to add to its
grists and take its customary toll. The
landlord will not reduce his rent, and
there is no probability of increase OF
wages for the workingman. There Is
no visible prospect Of rise in the
products OF the farm to even equal the
cost of production. There may be a
temporary period OF prosperity. but it
will likely be for those only who are
able financially to manipulate it all
| n their own interests. The speculation
may profit by temporary stimulation
Of prices, but by the time it reaches
the outer edges of the great industrial
world it will probably have spent its
force without having benefited to any
great extent the real producers o!
wealth.

trust has a surplus OF $4,000, 900 in
sugar, bills and cash which has accum-
ulated during the past year
All of the other big trusts have made
a great deal of money during the past
year. The Western Union Telegraph
Company, which has practically mo-
nopoly OF the telegraph business OF the
country, paid in dividends about ST.
100000. The United States Leather
Company. which fixes the price Of
every pair of boots and shoes that is
sold, has cleared immense profits. The
nail trust, meat monopoly. rubber trust
and anthracite coal trust have amassed
large sums despite the business stagna-
ton.
1t is pertinent at this time to ask
what will President-elect Mckinley DO
with these monopolies? II 1t is true,
and there seems not a particle OF doub.
of it, that Mr.. Mckinley was nominal
ed and elected largely through the as
sistance Of the trusts, there is little
prospect of any immediate relief for
the people through the enforcement OF
the law. The only recourse for the
ridden citizens Of the United States IS
to wait patiently and put their faith
in the future At present the outlook
is far from encouraging. but it Is hoped
that the people will be able to bear the
present condition of things a little
longer. 1t is certainly exasperatlng 10
