A NEW ANTITRUST BILL.
Senator Pettigrew Wants an Amendment
to the Tariff Law.

Senator Pettigrew Wants an Amendment
to the Tariff Law.
Senator Pettigrew, of South Dakota.
has introduced an amendment to the
tariff bill. 1t provides that all articles
on the dutiable list shall be admitted
free of duty if said article or articles of
like character of domestic production
are manufactured, their sale controlled.
or the price affected by trust or COM
bination to prevent competition. Every
contract, combination in the form of a
trust or to restrict the quantity of pro-
duction or affect the price of any article
or conspiracy in restraint of trade shall
be considered trust.
Provision is made for application by
any citizen to the United States courts
for determination on the existence Of
any trust, and If the courts decide that
trust exists an order is issued to the
customs officers directing them to ad-
NIT free of duty articles similar to those
made by the trust A proviso is made
that when a duty is levied on raw ma
terial or on any article improved after
Importation, the duty on the raw ma
terial or unrefined or unimproved ar
ticle shall be collected, but the differen-
tial duty shall not be collected If the
improved or refined product is subject
of trust.-Silver Knight Waterman.

Saving the States Property.

The state of North Carolina owns a
very valuable railroad which the cor
poration politicians of that state have
tried to swindle the state out of before
the Populists got so powerful down
there. The scheme was to get the
state, through its corrupt officials, to
make a contract with the Southern
railway company to let that corpora
ton have the use of the states road for
ninety-nine years for a mere nominal
rental, and the whole contract and
deal was made without any competing
bids and without regard for the state
interest and the whole thing clinched
tight five years before the existing con-
tract expired. The Populists, and all
other good citizens of the state. are
after the scheme now, and will surely
break it up and save the state its rail-
road.-Journal of the knights of La
Dor.

fourth, ETC., borrower credit on the
first and subsequent borrowers secN-
ity. The government as banker for
the people would always know the
amount of money the business Of the
country required by the demand backed
by undoubted security. When business
Stacked UP there would be no tempta-
ton to invest depositors' money IN
speculative enterprises as practiced by
many of the banks and assisted by all,
while the officers share the winnings
and depositors stand the losses. The
government would have no necessity
to pile up hundreds Of millions of dol
lars in sub-treasury vaults as at pres
ent. Over two hundred millions are
now locked up in the treasury which
would be in circulation were the gov
eminent its own and the peoples bank
er. Government taxes, state, national
and municipal would go to swell the
general line of deposits and be in con-
slant use.
The clearing houses Of the country
give Cue pubic SOIlic lhhiih6 VI ''~
immense amount Of wind or credit
money used in place Of real money,
when they report fifty to sixty billions
Of business going through them yearly.
There is not more than $500,OOO,000
of actual money in circulation, II so
much as that, and thousand million
held as reserve to protect the wind
or credit money, which is forced on the
people by the banks, costing them IA
BILIOUS sums in interest.
There is no other way by which the
money can be issued direct to the peo-
pie except through system Of gov
eminent banks. There is no other way
by which it can be determined how
much money is required to transact the
business Of the country except through
system Of government banks. where
the security offered to guarantee pay
ment at maturity Of loans would al
ways gauge the amount that business
required and the ability Of borrowers
to pay.

II six months association with Cam
nibal Hanna will make Mckinley apollo
gize for Cleveland, what will four years
of association with the Cannibal do?
Can any one comprehend the iniqui-
tous character OF the vile brood that
dominates the words and actions OF
the peoples servants? After IAN ex-
animation of the subject discloses this
fact in every detail" to Mr.. Mckinley
that more taxes must be piled upon
the shoulders of poverty stricken
wealth-producers. In order to raise
more than $1,O45, 100000 which 1t took
to run the government upon even an
economical and prudent" basis, during
the last two years! II Mckinley and
congress honestly want prosperity,
they can produce it, in less than two
months, by issuing to the people,
through postal savings banks at low
rate OF interest, all the money required
to make all exchanges on cash basis;
crush the life out Of every damnable
monopoly, and give no more privileges
to the money absorbing hog than the
toiler has got Then we will have
prosperity that will cause the honest to
rejoice, instead of the kind that makes
devils giggle, such as we now have.
With honesty, and an ordinary
amount of common sense, no president
will be "regretting the necessity which
has required me to call you together"
for there would be no need OF con-
gress converting oftener than once In
four years in time OF peace.

Public Ownership of Monopoiies.

The big bridge connecting New York
and Brooklyn is owned by the two CT
ties, and according to the New York
World the receipts amount to two mil
lion dollars year and is a steady
source of profit to the people. Fares
have been reduced until 1t is free to
persons on foot. Better wages are
paid and the men who collect fares and
do other work about the bridge have
better treatment than those serving
any of the corporations. 1t is an illus
trating the benefits OF municipal
ownership and as an object lesson can
not fail to create an impression highly
favorable.

He Opposes High Taxes Upon the Nec-
essaries of Life.
Senator Allen has delivered speech
on his resolution declaring it to be I'M
constitutional to impose tariff taxes on
the necessaries of daily consumption,
in order to enrich certain favored class
es at the expense of the masses.
The Senator's remarks were in the
nature of legal argument, showing
the constitutional limitations on the
taxing power of Congress. He said:
II place myself on the solid and i'm
pregnable ground that under our Con-
stitution Congress does not posses pow
err to tax the people to enhance the
private fortunes of the few, and that
the full measure of the taxing power
is reached when tariff for revenue,
with incidental protection, is imposed.
Any other construction would lead to
confiscation and incidentally to en-
forced reputation, the two worst con-
ceivabIe forms of anarchy and disorder
in civilized state; and such a deduc-
ton, when carried to its legitimate
length, would lead to the subversion
of all order and the rights of persons
and property. We cannot serve the
people and the money power at the
same time. Their interests are deadly
antagonistic. What is for the common
welfare is against the trusts and the
pools"
Mr.. Allen spoke more than an hour,
and at the conclusion of his remarks
the resolution was referred to the f.
nance committee SilverKnightW

THE RECENT ELECTIONS.

BY Senator Stewart of Nevada: Wall
and Lombard streets are too parsimon-
ious in local elections. They did more
on credit at the last election than they
did on ready cash, although cash was
abundant. They promised every labor
err place at high wages, every boss
political job, every merchant ready
sales at higher prices, every farmer a
good market, every manufacturer de-
mand for his goods at any price he
might fix, and generally they prom
ised everything good to everybody. 1t
now appears that they have broken
every one of these promises, which
were contracts as sacred and binding
as any other contract, because upon
these promises they received ample
consideration. The people who relied
on them performed their part, and vot-
ed and worked for the gold combina-
ton.
Now, the election is over, Wall and
Lombard streets repudiate their con-
tracts. We warn them that this repu-
diation will be costly job, and IL they
keep on repudiating their contracts to
give good times they will be thorough
ly discredited before the next general
election, and it will take great deal
of money to supply the place of credit
which they will have lost If they can
not give good times and there is any
doubt about the supply of money at
the next election, they might as we'll
throw up the sponge and quit. 1t is
true they have got four years more of
the services of the government and all
the pickings connected with it, but
they have got great many to feed
who are very hungry and the people
have got sick of the bond deals of the
last administration. They will have
to contrive some other plan of high
way robbery to accumulate enough
money to supply the place of the credit
they had at the last election and leave
enough over to make times lively for
the month before election.
We have no doubt that they will be
very active in robbing the government,
and will play it for all it is worth; but
so many of their games are played out,
and will not stand repeating, that it
seems to us they will have a difficult
time, unless they have really studied
up some new grabs which surpass all
others. That they are at work on
schemes everybody knows, but it will
take great deal of money to take care
Of the elections. They can not run
them again on lies.
The elections in Ohio, Michigan, In
diana and everywhere else as far as
heard from, show that the people are
not satisfied with Mckinley prosperity.
A strong reaction has already set in,
and is certain to continue because the
promised good times cannot come on
tho gold standard

Does increasing the taxes on the peo-

and thus produce prosperity? Some
political idiots imagine that prosper
ity is produced in that way. God pity
the people when such knaves or fools

knavery, under Cleveland, killed the
Cleveland party dead as a door nail;
