CONCERNING THE TRUST.
Frot. Wilgus Suggests the Proper
Treatment of this important
ProhIem

| TrODtem
Prof. HI. L. Wilgus spoke before
the Business Mems class at the Con.
gregatinnal church Sunday on The
Trust: what shall be done concern.
ing it?"
As to constitutional amend
ment for remedy, he said it would
rut great and untried power in the
hands of the government so as to
materially disturb the balance now
In existence between the national
and state powers. This should be
tired only when other remedies fail.
Other plans suggested were:
/. Punish discrimination. This
IS now provided as to interstate
commerce but the difficulty of OBJ
tanning the necessary evidence is al
most insurmountable.
2 Repeal the tariff upon any
article when it is clear that its mo-
nopoly is upheld by the tariff. The
present law provides for something
of the kind, but here, too, evidence
is difficult to obtain.
Require corporations to make
uniform prices to all. This would
be available SO far as it would 60,
but perhaps it would not be consti-
stutionally applied to trusts in
equity having no franchises from the
state. Also, it could not reach the
products that are sold to cross-state
lines, for this belongs to national
government exclusively.
4 Publicity. This was the one
remedy both trust conferences prac-
tically agreed upon and for the pres
ent is most feasible. A commission
should be appointed to devise uni
form system of reports upon essen
tial points, to be adopted by the
different states-and then provisions
made for national commission of
experts to put such further action
as may be found necessary.-Ex.

BY ITS RESULTS.
The Only True Measure of the Value
of Protection.

The Only True Measure of the Value
of Protection.
For few months after the Ding.
ley bill went into effect the custom
house receipts were very low. The
Democratic press, especially The
World and The Herald, howled with
delight that the bill was failure
that the whole idea of protection was
| wrong.
Republicans replied that, in an
ticipation of the passage of the bill,
the importers had doubled and treb.
led their importatlons and that il
was therefore quite natural that the
customs receipts would be compare
lively light until normal state OF
things was restored and the tremen-
duous stocks of imported goods had
been worked off.
You do not hear any bowling to-
day that the DINGHY bill is failure
as revenue producer.
In late Herald l find articles
headed Banner Year in Customs
Receipts" Decrease of Four Mil
lion in the Public Debt" "More
Gold in the Treasury Than Ever Be-
FORE"
Does this not show that in all mat
ters concerning finance or the tariff
"the proof Of the pudding is in the
eating" and that these questions are
purely matters of business, should
be treated as such and taken out of
politics altogether
The Democrats stood by certain
tariff policy which they insisted was
the best to bring about prosperity.
The Republicans stood by an entire
ly different tariff policy, which they
also insisted was the best to bring
about prosperity.
The Republican policy was tried
first in the Mckinley bill, and we
had prosperity.
Then the Democratic policy was
tried in the Wilson bill, and we got
hard times
And now we have had the Repub
lican policy again in the Dingley bill,
and we have prosperity again.
Surely such demonstratin ought
to be sufficient. ....
There is only one way to Judge a
policy. whether in running a gov
ernment or private business and
that is--by its results.
Ii, when the Democrats are in
power, they could show better re-
suits than the Republicans, I'd throw
all my principles and theories to the
winds, and I'd swear by them, work
for them and vote for them. New

EXECUTIONS IN FRANCE
the Authorities PROPOSE to Employ
Electricity by Q New
Method.

If Importance is to be attached to
a recent letter from Paris, while Amer
leans are in the midst of discussion
as to whether or not death by electric
shock is painless and instantaneous,
the French government is considering
the advisability of discontinuing the
use Of the guillotine for the ex-
ecution of criminals and the adop-
tion in its stead of a method in
which needles charged with high
tension currents are shot into the
brain, causing instant death. Accord
ing to the accounts given, the head of
the criminal. as he sits firmly strapped
in the execution chair, is to be inclosed
in helmet similar to that of diver.
Opposite the temples of the wearer are
two holes, through which the needles,
duly connected with the source of cleo
trio current employed, pass. AS the
executioner touches a button, and so
turns on the current, the two needles
leap from their sockets and are forced
through the temples into the brain of
the criminal. With them they carry
powerful alternating currents, which
ruptureand destroy the brain cells with
such rapidity that one convulsive move
ment Of the victim is the only sign that
life is extinct. Whether such mode of
execution, if seriously proposed, is more
merciful than the electrical method
adopted in this country will be doubted
by many.
