power and arrogance that it essays now
TO have voice in shaping even the for
eign policy Of this government
There are senator's who declare that
trusts cannot be controlled in the way at
tempted: that 1t is SO much waste of effort.
But the people do not believe that, and it
Is with the people the republican party
must reckon at the polls. Do these sem
ators care for pointer as to public opin-
ION on the subject? If so, let them consider
what occurred at Columbus. Ohio, day be-
fore yesterday. John r. Mclean, a rich
man. with large corporation connections,
was In control of state convention. He
objected to any reference to trusts in the
PLATFORM. because as a candidate for the
United States Senate he feared he would
be put in the insincere attitude of attack
ing his own crowd. Mr.. Mclean could con-
troll his lieutenants who were in charge of
the work of the Platform but on that point
he could not control the body of the con-
vention. A declaration against trusts was
demanded, and by the convention was
adopted. Is Mr.. Hanna to be obliged to go
into that campaign as candidate for re-
election on a republican tariff bill which
simply re-enacts on the question of trusts
the homeless provision of the Gorman-Wil-
soE law?

Peculiar Tariff Retaliation

Acting on the belief that the Senate
would insert duty on tea in the tariff bill
the prime minister of Japan, as will be
seen by reference to the news columns to-
DAY, has decided to retaliate against the
United States by placing an export duty On
several articles Of commerce heavily i'm
ported by this country from Japan. such as
silks and carpets This Is a novel manner
OF retaliating. Usually the process con-
sists OF placing equivalent duties upon i'm
ports from the country that has imposed
the tax originally. This has been tried
against the United States on several occa-
s1ons by European countries, with occa-
sional success, but generally without MAX
Ing much stir in the American market.
Japan's scheme seems on it's face to be a
poor one. The result of imposing an ex-
port tax on such articles would almost
surely be to drive the American BUYERS to
another market, for the goods mentioned
are not bought SO exclusively from Japan
that other sources cannot be readily found
The project. however, is Of merely passing
interest in view of the late determination
OF the republican caucus to withdraw from
the proposition to tax tea.
