CONGRESS AND TRUSTS.

Washington dispatches state that the Re
publican members of the Senate committee
on the judiciary have under consideration
the framing of an amendment to the tariff
bill for the control of trusts. The prepara-
ton of the amendment has been referred to
subcommittee consisting of Senators
Thurston, Davis and Spooner. all good law
yers, and it is said they have practically
agreed on an amendment making it an Of
Tense punishable by fine and Imprisonment
for any person or corporation to monopolize
or conspire with any other person or cor
poration to monopolize the trade in any ar
ticle protected by the tariff bill. This is
probably the amendment referred to by
Senator Hoar a few days ago. In heated
controversy regarding trusts in connection
with the tariff. he said he thought it likely
an amendment on the subject would be Of
fered in connection with the present bill
tending to strengthen and perfect the pro-
visions of the existing, law. The report
says:
Mr.. Allen, resuming, declared that the
country was rotten with trusts every
article we eat and wear and use being con-
trolled by trusts, while Congress, the judi
potent and powerless to act according to
those who argued that the federal laws
cannot reach the trusts. He maintained
that the laws sufficient if energetically
enforced, but that the authorities have not
executed them with zeal.
The Journal is inclined to believe, with
Senator Allen, that the trusts could be
reached under existing laws if q determined
effort were made to reach them. They
could even be attacked under the common
law as combinations in restraint of trade
and opposed to the public welfare, but it is
better, on some accounts, to have specific
legislation on the subject. The present
antitrust law, passed in June. 1880, and APP
proved by President Harrison, was I'M
doubtedly passed in good faith, and was
believed at the time TO be carefully guarded
and sufficiently stringent Senator Sher-
man is the father of the measure, though
the bill did not pass in tae form introduced
by him. After considerable discussion It
was referred to- the judiciary committee,
which, through Senator Edmunds, reported
a substitute for the Sherman bill which be-
came a law The bill. as introduced by Mr..

REPUBLICANS ARE TRYING TO KEEP
FAITH WITH THE COUNTRY.
Another Brief Interview with Senator
Fnirbanks-The Monetary and
Cuban Questions.
pecial to the indianapolis Journal.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
WASHINGTON, June Ex-senator Fair
banks is quoted with the following remarks
Which fttingly supplement his interview
iE the Journal a few days ago: This adj
ministration and the Republican Congress
will do everything that lies III their power
to keep absolute good faith with the coun-
try in the fulfllment of platform and cam
paign pledges. The prodigious work that
has been put in upon new tariff bill is
one point in evidence. Another is the APP
pointment of Messrs. Stevenson Wolcott
and Paine, all radical bimetallists, to go
abread for the ascertainment of foreign BIZ
metallic sentiment and for the promotion
of an international agreement. If these
men succeed. the Republican party and
the Nation will be thankful. If they fail,
the people will accept the result as prac-
tically conclusive proof of the futility of
further efforts in that direction, for the
present, at least. The outcome whatever
it may be, will be a Vindication of the Pres
ident, and will establish the fact that he
made an honest effort for international BIZ
metallism using the strongest men in the
silver ranks in the preliminary and most
important negotiations.
THE policy of carrying out Cuban indie
pendence pledges will be followed with en-
tire frankness and honesty of purpose, and
l predict that within a year honorable
peace will be given to the distressed peO-
PIE of the island through the efforts of the
government at Washington. The result will
be attained by peaceful means, and in
manner satisfactory to the belligerents and
to the United States"
