Settled for a Generation.

1t will be a long time before the pro-
tective policy of this country will again
be disturbed. This generation will have
passed away and a generation launch
ed upon the scene that has no recol-
lection of the distress caused by the
tariff tinkering of 1S93-1s96. Radical
changes may take place in other de-
partments Of our economic govern
ment, but the tariff question is settled
for this generation. at least.-Brad.

Democracy and Tru.t..

In was In 1884 TINT the Democratic
majority in both houses of Congress
paralyzed the section against trusts
passed by the Republican majority in
the preceding Congress. The Wilson
law prescribes no penalty against
trusts except firms or. corporations
who are importers Of foreign goods.
Importers q { not organized In trusts
and never have been. Consequently
the Wilson law touches none Of the

trusts. Il opened the door wide to all
that now exist. The last Senate was
not Republican and would not permit
the restoration Of the antitrust clause
of the Mckinley law. The Republican
record against trusts is perfectly clear.
A law in 1890 fulfilled. the platform
pledge of 1883. Then the Democrats
came into power and misgovernment
and calamity came with them. In
their endless chapter Of disasters was
the killing of the antitrust law. They
worked havoc in that direction as in
every other. Yet they are now making
q prodigious racket over the trusts as
IL the subject were entirely new and
their party acting upon 1t for the arst
tfme.@St. Louis Globe-Democrat.

Industrial Rather than Political.
Trusts, as such, have no connection
with party politics, and the movement
which is establishing them in such
numbers was as plainly in evidence
under Cleveland as 1t has been under
Mckinley. The favors which the DEM
ocratic Senate showered on the sugar
trust in framing the Wilson tariff have
not yet been forgotten. Trusts -four
ish in Democratic as well as in Repub-
lican States. Both parties have been
equally outspoken in denouncing these
combinations in their platforms. In
their coming national conventions.
both will undoubtedly repeat their con.
domination of monopoly.
The trust problem is industrial rath.
err than political, and it should be dealt
with on the broad grounds of economic
justice. 1t is difficult and complicated
enough to demand the best efforts of
honest public men Of all parties for its
solution.-Philadelphia Bulletin.
