lations. writes
There are some who say the lust for

downfall of all the republics of the past,
but that is not true The past had few
true republics, certainly not any at all
comparable with the United States, re-
public organized on the principles of rep
resentative government by all. We are
making presidents. There seems to be
a great war cloud forming over China
and the forces mastering there are mighty
enough to produce war of the greatest
magnitude. But l see no reason that will
require us to join the conflict If conflict
there is to be. The only interest We have
in the matter is a trade interest, and our
great epochical wars have never had their
origin in anything so sordid.'
Senator John T. Morgan of Alabama
writes:
'Those who lament and decry the con-
duct of our government in dealing with

Sample OF the Heartless Greed and Power
Exercised by Trusts.

Exercised by Trusts.
From the Philadelphia Ledger.
There is no better example of the per-
nicious power and the baneful effects of
trusts on the nation than is now given
by the one which controls the window
glass industry. Nothing shows more
clearly the necessity of vigorous legal
means to prevent combinations of capital
from perpetrating similar wrongs This
grasping monopoly has spoken the word
and all the window glass factories in the
country with the exception of the co-ope-
ratve concerns were shut down the other
day. Those which are excepted represent
about one-tenth Of the output OF the
United States. and they are to be permit
ted to operate only until the last week
IN June. Thus. for sordid gain. 1900
skilled and other workmen, not including
those formerly in independent factories,
are thrown out of employment, without
probably a thought given as to whether
they starve or not.
Two things the window glass industry
has done in violation of the best business
interests of the country and the welfare
of the people. 1t has crushed healthy
competition and threatened at least $4,000
men, women and children with starvation.
1t was not difficult for the trust to do
this. Nothing could be easier than the
process adopted. Backed up by almost
unlimited capital II began decreasing the
price of window glass until it succeeded in
making it Improbable for independent
concerns to continue business. Next, the
field being clear the mandate has gone
forth to restrict production, and by the
mere exercise of arbitrary will the fires
are put out from under the ovens of its
| own factories and 1000 skilled workmen
| and 10000 other employees, able, willing and
| frugal workmen, are left to shift as best
| they may, deprived for an indefinite pc
riod of both work and wage, of the means
| to support themselves, their wives and
| children. And this crushing of competi-
ton, this restriction of trade, and, worse
| than both, this heartless, wanton disre-
| gard of the working man, this callous in
| difference to whether he lives or starves
| is done in the name of business, to add
more wealth to the already large capital!

apart from the repeal of the tariff laws,
