Trusts Must Go.

In "a letter to the New York
Journal ex senator John J. ingalls,
says:
The exasperation against trusts
and monopolies does notarise from
hostility to capital, hatred of wealth
or envy Of successes; but from the
belief that the inevitable effect of
these combinations; whether intend
ed or not. is to restrain competi-
tion, impair the dignity Of labor,
destroy the independence and self
respect of the laborer and make
liberty the heritage of the few in
stead of the many, for liberty and
pauperism are not compatible.
The trusts must 60. 1t is writ
ten. They will not depart voIun-
tarily. They will protest at every
step! They will stand upon the
order of their going. They will
denounce all inquiry as iniquitous,
inquisitorial and inspired by parI
tisan malignlty, But this will not
deceive the people. They want the
truth. The object of Lexow COM
mittees is to disclose the existence
and the methods of the, conspiracies
to limit production, control prices,
depress wages and strangle compe-
tition. Public opinion will do the
rest.
The problem is, not !. ipsolyable;
the power Of the people to suppress
injurious. trusts and monopolies is
ample already. The states can out
law them as public enemies and
through the courts forfeit their pow
ers, aunul their franchises and de-
clare them against public policy and
void, IN accordance with the preee.
dents of many centuries.
But the nation canwield a might

the worthless stun that can't be sent to other
countries is dumped into this country. Tea is
one OF the products about which there Is no
doubt that any duty on 1t is paid not by the con-
sumner, but by the producer. The production OF
tea Is greater than the demand, and the prices
must he regulated accordingly. Japan sees hit
TO put an export duty on Formosa tens. Why
should that country that sells much the greater
part of its product to this country, aid gets the
least part of its importations from us. get
the benefit of our lack OF dutyi If they find
that q duty in this country will injure their
trade let them take of their export duty. There
is also another point which We touch on lightly.
1t is this: / have not the slightest doubt that II
a duty is put on tea in ten or fifteen years "A
great amount of high grade tea will be raised
In this country. Such being the case that in
dustry Is entitled to protection"
In order to show that the Japanese regard tho
proposed duty az something which they will he
from articles published in Japanese papers at
lacking the proposed tariff with virulence and
threatening all kinds of things should 1t be car
ried into effect.
The resolutions were then read. In brief they
advocated the proposed duty on tea and stated
the reasons why 1t should be enacted and they
also petitioncd that the duty be made n per.
mRnent measure instead OF temporary. There
was hardly any discussion. Mr.. George Hamil-
ton. representing Bernard & Co. OF Yokohama,
protested against the resolutions on the ground
that a duty on ten would destroy the rapidly
growing trade between Japan and this country.
His was the only dissonant voice. and Mr.. Fred
erick Meade, Jr.. remarked that MIR. Hamilton
was not an American citizen. Mr.. Hamilton
alone voted against the resolutions.

SE1TTLE GETS A SHIP.
Pcncc Restored 10 the Bosom OF Representa-
tive Lewis and Long Escapes Inycstigation.

WASHINGTON. June %. Representative j.
Hamilton Lewis has been placatcd by the action
OF the Navy Department to-day in ordering the
Adams. which recently arrived at Port Angeles
from Honolulu, to proceed to Seattle and take
part in the Fourth of July celebration at that
place. Peace having thus been restored TO tho
bosom OF Mr.. Lewis, he will not press his threat
encd Congressional investigation to determine
whether Secretary Long or Senator Hanna is the
real head OF the Navy Department. Mr.. Lewis
made application last April for the detail OF a
ship for the purpose named, and at about tho
same time the managers OF the Christian En-
deavor National Convention asked that the bat
tlcship Oregon DO sent to Tacoma on the same
date.
This request was seconded by Senator Hanna,
and granted, and as the people of Portland had
arranged for the presence OF the monitors Mon.
icrcy and Monadnock at their city on July l.,
Seattle was left, there then being no other ship
available. Mr.. Lewis. thinking that Senator
HannR's influence had deprived him OF tho
pleasure of serving his fellow townsncn in this
behalf. raised a row and said he would have
Congress find out II Hanna was running the de-
%partments as vol as the Senate. The opportune
arrival of the Adams. however, enabled tho de-
artmcnt officials to satisfy Mr.. Lewis.
The people of Portland wanted the battlcship
there In order to add n silver service to the fur
water to go up the Columbia. The service will
be received by the officers OF ono of the monitors
and turned over TO the Oregon at the first oppor-
tunity.

In Avoiding = Failing Derrick He Tumbled
Into the Cellar and Fractured His Skull.

Charles Robinson. 43 years old. a laborer liv-
while at work with twenty other laborers who
were engaged in tearing down the old Tombs
Prison. Robinson's death was caused by the
breaking of n pole dashed to the derrick which
supports the tackle used in lowering the coping
from the old prison wall.
The accident occurred on the Leonard street
ride of the building, directly over what was tho
old entrance to the To,nbs. A large stone weigh
ing 10000 pounds was hoisted from the coping
and was about to be lowered TO a truck backed
up at the corner OF Leonard and Centre streets,
when the derrick pole broke, throwing the stone
into the street. and causing the derrick to tum-
BILE back into the building.
Robinson was working at the derrick windlass
when the pole broke. According TO the story
told by the contractors, he tried to get out of the
way. aud fell into a hole which had been cut on
the second floor of the old building for the pur-
pose of shovclling the debris through 10 the cell
n second opening on the first floor into the old
prison cellar, falling so that his head struck on
a Jagged piece of stone on the pile of debris in
the cellar. His skull was fractured. The body
was removed TO the Elizabeth street station in u
patrol wagon.
Policeman McCluskey arrested Jacob X.
Brown of 800 Degraw street, Brooklyn. who
was one of the contractors having charge OF the
work OF removing the old prison building.

REEVES SUCCEEDS MUNCE.
Tho Former Chief or the stamp Division Re-
signed Because or the Coleman Case.

WASHINGTON. juno c5.-Mr. John II. Reeves
of New York was appointed chief of the stamp
division of the Post Office Department to-day,
vice Thomas J. Munce, resigned. Mr.. Munce
was mixed up in the Coleman stamp case, but
tho department, after n thorough Investigation,
decided to accept his resignation. Coleman is n
clerk in the Interior Department, and some timc
ago he was caught In New York with n large
number OF newspaper and periodical stamps
in his possession. These stamps ranged
in value from III upward and are especially
valuable 10 stamp collectors from the fact
that they are supposed never to leave tho pos.
session of the PostmRsters. Coleman secured
them through the wife ~ the chief OF the stamp
division. After n careful review OF tho case the
department decided that, although Mr.. Munco
did not exercise proper care regarding the
stamps. he was not criminally liable. His res.
ignation was called for and handed in several
days ago. The appointment of Mr.. Reeves
closes tho case.

WASHINGTON. juno 25.-Commissioncr of I'm.
migration Stump to-day submitted to the Sccre-
tary OF the Treasury n plan for the reGstablish,
ment OF an immigrant depot on Ellis Island.
The plan c%ontemplates the erection OF modern
buildings and the expenditure OF about 5000. 600.
Mr.. Stump recommends the removal OF the walls
OF the old Qualifications and OF the dwelling
house formerly used as officers quarters. all OF
which were injured seriously by the recent fire.
The area OF the island should he increased Mt
once to tho extent OF about three acres on tho
Jersey side, by filling in with earth. protected
by crib work ballastcd with stone. The cost OF
this is placed at about $500. 900, making a total
available area of about seventeen acres, includ-
ing the dock, which would afford ample space
for the location of the new buildings ut n dis
tance apart sufficient to insure them from in
jury by fire communicated from one TO another,
and. moreover. allow places of refuge In case
OF general confiagration. Furthermore, such All
extension, II continued to navigable water,
would give wharfage room on the Jersey side.
Mr.. Stump recommends that all buildings be OF
substantial construction and rendered flreproof
by the use of iron and steel frames. with brick,
the laying OF cement flooring, &c. Their design
should be handsome without an attempt at or.
namontation. Expense. however. should not he
spared in providing NIL necessary modern i'm
prov cmcnts and convenionccs.
Three buildings should be undertaken at once.
First, the main. or depot proper, located mainly
on tho old site, hut nearer the middle OF the
island. Some distance to the rear OF this build.
ing and to the left should be located the " ad.
ministration building" in which should be the
COMMISSIONER office. Trensurcr's office, rooms
for the statistical department. quarters for tho
Board of Inquiry. rooms for witnesses, &c. To
the rear and right of the main building should
he a structure for Il hospital and sick and dis.
abled immigrants. IN which should be the sur
gcon's quarters and accommodations for the
medical staff. On II location convenient OF nc,
cess IA building to b, used as n restaurant and
kitchen should be erected. Adjoining this
should be the laundry.
The necessity for other buildings. Mr.. STUMP
says, VIII arise in the future. and they can
better be provided as needed.
