THE IOW:4 BATTLE.

That there are still life and
strength in the union of all the
political forces which combined
last year against the gold standard
and the party of the trusts was
conclusiyely demonstrated by the
fusion of the democrats. the silver
republicans and the populists of
Iowa on state ticket and a plat
form indorsing the Chicago plat
form. A few populists bolted, but
the bulk of the populist convention
approved the fusion compact. It
is significant that the name "Demo-
cratic was agreed upon fer the
/ ticket, indicating clearly the sur
viving party of the fusion move
ment in Iowa.
By reason Of this fusion and the
fact that the financial issue was
made clear and strong in the plat
form the battle in Iowa will have
special interest and significance.
It is the first renewal of the fight
in state campaign on the lines Of
of the national campaign. The
battle will be fought without the
powerful factors on the side of the
republicans supplied by Boss Han
mas syndicate and its enormous
slush fund.
If the democrats of Iowa and
their fusion allies win or material
~ cut down the republican major
ity of last fall, it will be conclusive
evidence of a reaction in popular
sentiment in the Northwest. The
result in Iowa will not only be an
indication of sentiment, but may
have an important bearing on the
situation. Political leaders will
regard the outcome as a tip.

SHER.M.AN ON TRUSTS.

Secretary Sherman's head seems
to be all right on the subject of
trusts, but weak on the subject of
the influence of the protective tariff
on trust combinations. He is
sadly confused with regard to the
Inconsistency of denouncing trusts
and demanding competition for the
people and at the same time favor
ing great combines for the oppres-
sion of the people.
In an interview on the trusts the
Secretary says that the trusts are
wrong in principle and ought to
be vigorously restrained. He
favors vigorous laws to restrain
them and to secure the benefit of
competition, which, he says, is the
t'inalienable right of the people.
But in the same breath in which
he declares that the people have q
right to the "combetition of all the
world,' he says that the tariff is q
good thing and is made to defeat
the trusts.
How the protective tariff secures
to the people the competition of all
the world may be seen in the tariff
bill being forced through congress
by Secretary Sherman's admins
tration. Never in the history of
tariff Legislation in this country
has there been measure devised
80 restrictive Of competition for the
benefit of special interests. How
it defeats trusts may be seen in the
schedules securing to the trusts
absolute protection from foreign
competition and the privilege of
footing the people. The most
scandalous trust, the most corrupt
beneficiary of Legislative favors-
the Sugar Trusts given the pri-
vilege of adding one. fifth Of cent
to the price of every pound of
sugar sold in this country.
Secretary Sherman is danger.
.ous member Of the administration.
His age he's led him into the
weakness of telling the truth, and
every word Of truth he tells about
the trusts is condemnation of the
trust-protecting tariff bill it is
foisting on the country.
