Another British Trust.

"The tariff is the mother of trusts"
The Democratic papers all over the land
are Thoroughly enjoying themselves bv
reiterating over and over and over this
declaration of Mr.. Havemeyer, the sugar
king. They tell us that the way to get
rid of trusts is to get rid of our protective
policy; that lift wasn't for the tariff there
would be no trusts.
While some of these newspapers were
giving this kind of arguments to their
readers yesterday they printed at the
same time dispatch from London which
told of the formation of a new trust there.
This time it is to be combination of the
leading oil seed crushing firms of Great
Britain, with a capital of more than Sl2,-
give birth to this trust. There is nothing
over there but plain free trade, and yet
here is the trust going into business to
control the market in its particular line.
OF course all persons who know any
thing about the condition on the other
side of the Atlantic recognize that trusts
and combinations have existed and are
continually forming in England. But a
little fact like that doesn't have any weight
whatever with partisans who seizing
upon the Havemeyer cry, will contiue 10
defy the truth and to tell us that without
protection trusts cannot thrive.

THERE was nothing equivocal in the
resolutions of the Lycoming county Re-
publicans bearing on the question of ma
tional expansion. In tones that must
have been heard by the former Prophet
Of William Street, in his retirement at
Princeton, they told of the delight which
patriots felt because the flag that was
torn down by the Cleveland Blount Goa
lition had again been flung to the breeze,
there to remain so long as it stood for
liberty and progress.
Nor were the resolutions less explicit
in their treatment of the Philippine ques-
ton. Conceding the fact that the ac-
quirement ofthOse islands forced unex-
pected responsibilities upon the Nation,
they yet declared for the discharge oI
those responsibilities in a manner com.
mensurate with their Importance and
the dignity Of the people. 1t is necessary
only to add that, despite the teachings o.
that eminent, but in this instance, mis-
taken statesman, the Hon. George F
Hoar, of Massachusetts, these are the
sentiments of so vast majority of the
American people as to make the minority
appear absurd.
The hauling down of the Stars and
Stripes was never popular in this coun'
try aud is never likely 10 become so.-

History Continues TO Repeat Itself.

Peter Cooper once said: 1.-THE history
of one [protectivel tariff is the history of
every tariff that has been enacted, the re-
peal of one has always brought misery
and ruin, and the re-enactment has al
ways restored prosperity"
History, since Cooper's time, has only
added force TO the truth of his words. 1t
has continued to repeat itself. The revis-
ion of our tariff, made necessary by
changed conditions, and the enactment
of the Mckinley law, a law drawn along
the stiictest of protectionist lines, gave
the signal for the opening of factories, the
building of mills, the establishment of
industries, the revival of business and
the rise of wages. The free trade Wilson
law struck down all this prosperity al
most at one blow. Idleness and want
were the order of the day, and men
walked the country from end to end in
vain search for work. Then came the
restoration of Protection under the Ding
ley law and, presto, change, again. Fac
tories opened as if by magic, and work
is more plentiful than are the men to do
it. In short, there has been ushered in
an era of prosperity such as the Sworld
has never before seen. 1t ought not to
take, and it will not take, many more
such ups under protection and downs
under free trade to make every person in
the country ready to indorse Cooper's
words and to make another experiment
with free trade by this country an impos-
sibilitv

THERE are at least two reasons why
that project oI ex-Secretary of the Navy
Whitney to get Dewey to let the Demo-
Gratis nominate him for President will
fail In the first place Dewey will not
accept a nomination from any party, and,
in the second place, he is Republican.
1t is natural that the Democrats want to
put up some man who has won distinc-
ton in the war. But they cannot accom-
plish anything. Every man who has
figured with any prominence ih the war
belongs to the Republican party except
wheeler, and Wheeler talks so much like
Republican on the "imperlalist" ques-
ton that no Democratic convention
would nominate him.

IT is estimated by the Treasury De-
partment that the per capita circulation
of the United States is s25.3s. The in
crease of all kinds of money in circula-
ton now over 1896 is 1926, 200, 900, of
which s347 200, 900 is in gold coin. This
is condition of affairs which ought to
satisfy men of all shades ofpolitical opin-
ion and to convert every member ofeyery
party to the belief that the one vital prin-
ciple which ought to be upheld as against
every other doctrine and under all cir
cumstances is protection to American in
dustries. Those who wanted more mon
ey have it to the tune of 1926, ,O0O, 900,
through protection. Those who wanted
our financial system left untouched have
what they wanted and have unprecedent-
ed prosperity besides. The man who
would, under such circumstances, rail at
protection, is such man as would, in
slang phrase, "kick at pie"

Tariff as an Issue i'm 1900.

Leading Democratic newspapers here
and there are in favor of making "tariff
reform" the chief issue in next years
campaign, and the recent TRADE of Trust
King Havemeyer against protection is
bearing fruit.
The Philadelphia Record is one of the
newspapers whicn believes the tariff is
sue would be winner for the Democrats.
"With tariff refo as the ISSUE" it says
"the Democratic party would not only be
united, but to its banner would be attract
ed tens of thousands of voters who can no
longer be duped with the false pretense
that protective duties, while enhancing
the cost Of the necessaries of living, gave
labor and high wages to workingmen."
OF course the Record in common
with other Eastern Democratic news
papers, hopes that the revival of the tariff
issue will dispose of sixteen to one, and
it may be sincere in the behalf that the
Democrats would be strengthened by
having such an issue. Nevertheless, we
are inclined to believe it would find itself
mistaken. The benefits of protection are
not a delusion. The people of the United
States have had one dose of tariff reform,
and they do not want another. The dis
astrous panic following the election of a
free trade Congress and President caused
an industrial paralysis which threw bun
dreds of thousands of workingmen out
of employment and caused loss to them
in wages amounting to many millions OF
dollars, The return of prosperity fol-

can protective tariff law furnished an OBJ

SPEAKING of the retirement of General
Alger from President McKinley's cabi-
net, the Punxy. Spirit utters these in
disputable words: He has been hound
ed out of office by a lot of demagogic
newspapers. General Alger resigned be-
cause he did not want to embarrass the
President, which was manly. That a
war secretary who held office during a
war with foreign power should be con-
denned by those whose business it is to
discredit the Administration, is not
strange. 1t would be very remarkable If
he should escape it. There are some
newspaper editors who, when they have
succeeded i'm driving man out Of office
by persistent and shameless exagerations
ofhis mistakes, plume themselves upon
having done something great, and pro-
ceed 10 pat themselves on the back with
great satisfaction. They forget that they
have resorted TO every art Of catholicism
and injustice, and they think only of the
result. They have about as much reason
/ to congratulate themselves as the old,
| forked-toDgued gossip, who. by slander
and detraction, has driven some poor girl
/ TO suicide.

They entered into conversation, and
Barnum told him of number of curios
which had been picked up in Mexico for
his museum, but which his agent In New
York, not realizing their value, offered for
sale before they could be put on exhibition.

Marsh.
