The international Trust.

Without the interpostion OF pro-
tective laws, there would be such a
struggle for mastery that international
combinations would inevitably result
That there would be no special diff
Guilty in the way of owners of large
masses OF capital living in different
countries and carrying on an industri-
al rivalry reaching an agreement has
already been demonstrated. The sue
cess of the Standard Oil company
abroad is notorious. The facility with
which it induced the English house OF
commons to refuse the necessary leg
islation has been the burden of recent
review articles, and all the Orient
knows of the perfect understanding
that exists between the Russian oil
producers and those who control the
American trade. 1t has been possible
in England for the steel rail rlanufac-
turers to agree on a price; does any
one fancy for a moment that II they
were approached by an American COM
bine with a proposition to divide and
respect territory they would not eager
ly accept it?-San Francisco Chronicle.

VIII Not BE Nooled Again.

The country is experiencing even
greater prosperity than 1t did the first
years of the Mckinley tariff, and it is
evident that the Democracy will make
a poorer showing in next years cam
paign than it did in 1895. There will
be absolutely nothing for it to stand
upon in it's appeals to workingmen.
I.aboring men of all kinds are in de-
mand and wages are high and ad-
vancing. The country is being secured
for skilled help, and common every
day laborers are sought for without
the demand being supplied. The coke
regions want $1,000 men: every ship
yard .s straining its resources to keep
I'D with contracts; cars sufficient to
carry coal from the bituminous regions
cannot be obtained; the iron compa-
MES are rushed beyond all reason, and
shops of all kinds and railroads are
crowded with business. Workingmen
were fooled in 1892 by a clamor for
change, but they will not be in 1900.-
ottawa Qll) Republican Times.
The Elk Mountain pilot., 1899-10-24
Self-Dependent.

American agricultural implements
occupy the whole field in the Austria
liam trade. If any one had predicted
this a century ago, when this country
was struggling to make its independ-
ence of Great Britain industrial as well
as political, or even fifty years ago.
when the free trade Walker tariff had
the country in its crippling grasp, the
prophet would have found no be-
levers.
A century ago the supporters OF the
policy of free trade, the very few per-
sons who then believed in that fallacy.
were content to have the United States
continue indefinitely to be an agricul-
tural nation. Fifty years ago the sup
porters of the Walker tariff were con-
tent to have the United States stand
still so far as manufacturing was con-
cerned, and to remain practically
manufacturing nation. They were
beginning to argue along the line so
much in evidence during recent years
Viz, that of buying where you can
buy the cheapest" Had their policy
triumphed, we would still be indus
trially dependent on England. 1t is to
the policy of protective tarin that
we owe it that other nations are de-
pendent on us industrially, and that
we are dependent on no one but our
selves.

INSTRUCTIVE COMPARISON.

what the Fear of Democratic Ad-
min stration and Cheap Dollar VIII Do.
A comparison of the present prosper
Gus times with 1896 will show what the
fear of a Democratic administration
and cheap dollar will do for pros
porous country. Then everything was
in doubt; business was at standstill;
no one engaged in new enterprise
(unless it was some charitable asso-
,!ation in some of the large cities
tarted n new soup house to feed the
ttarving); capital sought places of
safety and was afraid of investment
labor was thrown out of employment,
and the industries of the country were
die or running on half time. Why all
his stagnation in business? What
aade these hard times in 1895? There

was possibility of electing Bryan and
changing the monetary system from
the gold to the silver standard. Not a
bank would loan dollar on ninety
days time one or two months before
the election, it made no difference
what the security was. Why? Be-
cause every bank knew that If the
change came it meant panic and
runs" would be made on all banks
and that the worst panic that ever
swept over this country would follow
quickly the news of Bryan's election,
and bankruptcy would be general.
Having passed through these distress
ing times and having seen the sudden
change for the better on the announce
mcut of McKinley's election; having
seen these banks open their doors
within a week after the election ana
make extensive loans that they had
but recently refused; having seen the
times grow gradually better until TO-
day the whole country is happy, pros
porous and contented; isn't it strange
to see party clamoring fer the same
man and the same policy tSat pro-
duced so much alarm, distress ano hard
times in 1896? OF course there 's'
no one alarmed now, because 1t would
be hard to find well-posted person
that believes that Bryan has a ghost
of a chance to be elected to the presl-
dency in 1900; but we want to remark
right here that If from any reason IL
should appear in the fall of 1900 that
Democracy and free silver had chance
of success you would see the same
close times you saw in the fall of 1886.

1t was really in the nature OF a mat
ter OF routine business when the ma
tonal democratic committeeman de-
cided to establish headquarters Of the
Executive committee in Chicago, vir-
tually making Chicago the chief base
II operations. That was first done
.hree years ago when the press bu-
'eau was established there. A conven-
ion may be held almost anywhere that
there are railroad and a hotel; but a
concern which wishes to keep in close
touch with the people of the country
and to have all the advantages Of
means of quick communication with
them naturally comes to Chicago or St.
Louis.

Gen. Miles, discussing the use of
the automobile in war. has said:
"As to the automobile becoming an
available appliance in time of war, it
can be assumed that the invention will
be utilized when its practicability has
been demonstrated. Improvements are
being made so rapidly that one hesi-
tates to say which is the best adapted
to the purposes of the field In time OF
war. No definite opinion could be ex-
pressed until the commercial world
furnishes the most efficient and avail
able method of automobile transporta-
ton. The automobile will be useful In
war in many respects. 1t can carry
men rapidly from one point to an
other. 1t can be used for the transpor-
tation OF light artillery, such as ma
chine guns. 1t can transport rapidly
telegraph and telephone machinery. 1t
can be utilized for the transportation OF
equipment, ammunition and supplies;
for taking the wounded to the rear.
and In general for most of the pur-
poses to which the power OF mules and
horses are now applied"

The curfew ordinance has received a
good deal OF newspaper ridicule. yet
Its practical workings have been very
salutary. In alluding to the willing
ness of some of the daily papers to
poke fun" at Elmira, N. Y, where
the ordinance is in force, the Adver-
tiser of that city declares that the re-
suit OF the enforcement OF the simple
law has been beneficial. and observes,
truly enough: "If large numbers OF
the young can be kept from temptation
and evil courses by so simple a device,
1t is far wiser to try it than to jeer
at 1t. 1t is not laughing matter. but
one OF grave moment to the welfare
of our towns and cities"

Naval officers say that the new bat
tleship Kearsarge can make sixteen
knots an hour, rate of speed which is
wholly satisfactory and up to contract
figures. 1t is not always safe to trust
the contract speed of an American
warship. Cervera's plans went awry
at Santiago because the Oregon
steamed several knots faster than her
contract speed and overhauled his fly
ing squadron.
