lican Inaction Responsible.
The New York Tribune prints the
following remarkable interview
Ex-United States Senator William
d. Washburn of Minnesota, head of the
extensive flour milling interests in
Minneapolis bearing his name, says
that unless something is done at once
to stop the formation and exploitation
Of trusts financial ruin will overtake
the country, end the Republican party
will be overthrown. He holds that the
Republican administration must do
more than adopt resolutions against
trusts, and advocates the abolition OF
all protective duties when 1t is evident
that a trust Is securing exorbitant
profits on account of the duties. He
cites the steel rail industry, in which
he Is interested, and the tin plate in
dustry. AL illustrating the immediate
need of withdrawing tariff duties,
which now tend to give those indus
tries what ne declares to be exorbltant
prosts. Ex-senator Washburn talked
at length with a Tribune reporter in
his room at the Fifth Avenue hotel
yesterday.
The present situation, to the good
citizens. the good Republican and the
man who loves his country, Is really
alarming" said Mr. Washburn, "and
1t is more largely owing to the rapid
formation of what is called the trust
than to any other agency. First, this
trust craze has changed the whole na-
ture Of things.
No Chance For the Young.
when I was young mani am
now 6S-I had the world before me,
and there was an absolutely fair field
for me. Take all of our most success
full business men Of today and their ex-
periences were like mine. They en-
tered the race without handicap, and
their grit and capacity won. Now this
building up OF trusts puts stop to fair
and equal opportunities for the young
men of today. The young man just
! out of college has no opening. as q
rule. He cannot begin business on his
own account against organized capital.
He must join the procession. He must
content himself with being a mere
clerk. and the chances are that ne will
never get any further, because there
are DO many IN his class. This makes
the situation a serious one, and I am
sorry for the young man OF today He
comes out of school bright, eager and
enterprising and runs against econom-
lc conditions that are too much for
him. l can't help feeling that II he
had the same chance / had when I was
young man 1t would be a great thing
for him. He hasn't got It, I've studied
the situation and I'm sure of what J
am saying
"The present Industrial tendency
amounts to almost craze for trusts.
There is hardly anything In The indus
trial line hat has not been tackled
by the promoters of the trust. All
the promoters care for Is to get up
these combinations, palm them off on
an uninitiated public, and then get
out of them, after making all the
money they can. think the banks
make a great mistake in lending their
assistance to the promoters of these
trusts. The banks finance them. the
! promoters make everything look

DIR. Conaty Against Imperialism.

New York, Nov. 21 1s9S.-Rev. DR..
Thomas ]. Conaty rector OF the Catho-
lie University in Washington. In the
course Of his address at Williamsburg
last night said: ut was never intended
in our scheme of government that we
should become imperialists for terrific
ry, and no imperialism should be rec
ognized except the Imperialism of ideas
in and the Imperialism
that comes with trade. We have no
mission to settle the political differ
ences of the world, except by advice
and example-never as conQuerors-
Large standing armies are the accom-
paniments and the curse Of absolutism;
there is no place for them in a democ-
racy. We have serious vital problems
to work out among ourselves. Let us
fear an increased greed OF power. There
is danger in departing from our Ideals
and allowing grasping syndicates and
political adventurers to lead US into
the governing OF people who are as
much entitled to self-government az
we are. Colonies and alliances are for
egn to the ideals OF American govern
ment"
srnator Edmunds' Views.
Hon. George F. Edmunds, senator
from Vermont: Having eoaling sta-
tion in the Ladrones and perhaps in
the Philippines, the more isolated the
better, the possession of these islands
would, ] think, be a detriment to tho
United States. The profit and loss ac-
count would show a balance against
us which wolld have to be mede on
our side of the aocoupa by the places
ana profits such as followed early
British rule in India. There is no
just ground for cltIming the Philip
pines. Let US show 30 the world
that we are as strong in our sense OF
honor and fair conduct as we have
shown ourselves TO be in our military
and naval operations"
