A ROBBER TARIFF FOSTERING
TRUSTS.

There are few informed and fair
minded people who do not believe that
a great. high tariff is not the creator
and fosterer of grinding, oppressive
trusts. Any n who has watched the
rapid rise in prices within a few
C-onths in a great many household ar
ticles can doubt that the trusts are re-
sponsible for all, and the tariff is re-
sponsible for the trusts and their abil-
ity to grind down the people. Some of
the leading manufacturers-notably
ex-senator Washburn and others-have
spoken emphatically and say that
trusts are responsible for the high
prices, and the one way to crush them
is to repeal all the items in the tariff
that are taxed high in which the trusts
are directly interested. The nail trust,
the tin trust and many others are in
evidence. In six months nails have ad-
Vanced 300 per cent.
The Baltimore Sun calls attention to
an important and well informed wit
ness. 1t avs
"Mr A. b. Farquhar, of York, Pa,
the we'll known manufacturer and ex-
porter of agricultural implements, con-
tributes to the series of articles on
trusts now being circulated by the New
England Free Trade League a discus
sion of steel trusts and the aid the
tariff of 1854 a ton gives them in plum
-dering home buyers of steel rails n
other steel products. The steel trusts,
he complains, have put up their prices
on him higher than on foreigners to
whom they sell, with the result of OBJ
structing his expectation of agricultur-
al implements. The removal of the
tariff on iron n steel would destroy
the trusts power and enable him to get
his steel at about the same prices paid
by foreign competitors to American
steel makers"
If necessary a great deal of evidence
might be cited to show how it is that
the robber republican tariff-a giant
among all tariffs-fosters and enriches
the greedy, devouring trusts. h
country will eve be relieved Of the
monsters by the corrupt, satanic party,
enemy of the people, that made the
tariff, and in that way, created the
trusts.

THINGS SUPPOSED TO BE SETTLED

A highly esteem religious contempor-
airy, the Charlotte Presbyterian Stand
ard, says of the war of the south and
the north:
That conflict settled for us the per-
petuity of the union, the abolition of
slavery n the right of local self-goy-
eminent. 1t Is as impossible that the
federal government shall again violate
the rights of a state as it is that a
state should secede from the union"
We wish that were so, but we do not
think it is. If true we would rejoice in
it. The "perpetuity of the union" is not
established by a very great deal. An
hundred years from now may reveal
conditions that show a disrupted union
or an empire, or several separate gov
ernments. The trend is towards the
destruction Of the republic. The wiser
statesmen see the dangers ahead AS
TO the fright of local self-government"
being fixed and firm, 1t never was in so
great danger as now, and never a SO
few friends The north has practically
changed the government set up, and
now stateG ore invaded at will by the
president land even against the protest
Of a governor of a great state. General
Washington when president absolutely
iefused to send an army into Pennsyl-
Nania during the "Whiskey Riots" un-
less the Governor should call upon him
for help. 1t is not SO now and by a
very great lea The rights of the
states have been violated a dozen or
twenty times since the "cruel war was
over" The slaves are free. but the
condition of twO-thirds of the race is
much worse than it was under slavery.
SO we look at the questions the Stand
ard regards as forever settled. Many
h war and it's results, and some bale
full and dangerous to the public veal
and the liberties of the people. The
trend of empire is visible and the
establishing of vast Centralized Power
is imminent. When done, farewell, a
long farewell, to the reserved, once
sacred rights of the constitution and
the foundation principle of local self
government. Even now Massachusetts,
New York and Illinois newspapers are
discussing the threatened violence to
local self-gOVernment by depriving
cities of rights and privileges they have
always enjoyed. The republican ras-
Gals and tricksters are plotting to rob
the cities of local power, and some of
the very ablest of the public journals
are protesting against the threatened
outrage. So we cannot view the points
as presented by our able contem-
porary from it's standing point Of OBJ
:serVatiOn.

more especially with the effects of the
game on the education of the mind.
Does foot. ball develop the BRAIN, en-
large the range of knowledge, make
more the standing of the players in the
curriculum? What is the experience in
the north where football is a fad, a
craze? The Evening Post states that
it lis the now universally conceded fact
that the members of the various eIey-
ems are not in as good condition for the
work Of the college, or for the ordinary
work of the world, as the student body
generally; that the average amount of
time lost from recitations, not only on
account of injuries, but also by reason
of illness of various sorts, is much
greater among those who play football
than among those who do not. Indeed,
the physical condition of most players
at the end of the season is not such as
a sensible father or mother can desire
for a son."
Mark you, that this is the report of
one of the best of American dailies,
with a highly educated staff, that gives
more attention to literary matters than
any other newspaper in the United
States, and that has the best opportun-
tiles possible for knowing exactly of
what it affrms. To show the bad effect
of the game upon students it refers to
the outcome of the recent contest
waged" between Yale and Princeton.
1t says:
Think, for example, of eight of the
original Princeton eleven last Saturday
being forced to retire before the end of
the game, oftentimes against their will,
when almost delirious,' or white as a
sheet and in a dazed condition'-'vic-
inns of entertaining and nervousness"
Parents and guardians and trustees
think long and closely on these things.
Let them consider if rowing over the
country and absenting from studies
by the weeks, can be possibly
the true way, the sure way of
Studies. The development of legs and
arms at the expense of the intellect is
not the wisest plan for educational pro-
gress. And yet the presidents and fac
ulties of the universities, colleges and
high schools are swept off their feet
by enthusiasm for ball kicking as an
educator.

1t is very hard to keep history
straight. In 1S9S-99 the north is dis
posed to do more wholesale lying about
the great war than it was three decades
ago. There are many such indications.
Look at the battle of Chicamauga
which the Messenger lately discussed
briefly. Now the north is lying over the
naval fight near Norfolk, in Hampton
Roads. A New York state paper has
found out that the Merrimac (the con-
federate war vessel of strange build)
was licked and driven away. Hon.
John S. Wise, in his recent book on the
war, gives a very interesting, and, We
do not doubt, accurate account Of the
fight. In the meantime. we tax the
following from the Charleston News
and Courier:
'"This Is interesting in its way, but

Chamberlain, British Secretary of

there is already a secret understand

THE DANISH WEST INDIES

In Gunton's Magazine for December

sire OF the United States government

having declined to give 81 $50. 900 for
all three. Denmark asSent,d 20 the
transaction, the people OF the islands
voted for union with the tinted states,
and n treaty was laid before the SEN
ate providing for our acquisition OF
St. Thomas and st. John. BUT tha

ON the either hand, the Unired States.

may assume, no use for the Danish

Here arises the question whether. un-

Monroe doctrine would be held 10 COM

Philippine Islands lie between groups
OF islands belonging TO Germany, and
her recent purchases OF all OF SPANS

shows that our acquisition OF the Phil

Washington. December 4-Notwith-
standing the repeated statements to
the effect that General Joe Wheeler
is about to retuFn to Washington to re-
sumo his seat in congress-, the officials
of the war department assert that they
know nothing of any such purpose on
the part Of the officer. Certainly he
has not yet applied ito the department
for leave of absence, although perhaps
it nay not be necessary for him to go
further than his immediate superior Of
ficer, General Otis, to secure permission
10 return to the states. In that case,
however, his leave would be limited TO
sixty days. The officials point to the
decision of the last house that General
Wheeler forfeited his sea in the house
by holding his army commission and
make the point that the conditions
now are precisely similar, SO that If
the general returns he must either re-
sign his commission or his seat in con-
gress. It is suggested that a solution
of the problem might be had by APP
pointing the general to be a major gen.
eral and retiring him at once, in which
case as a retired officer, he might con-
einue in the legislative branch under
the decision in the case of Genera
Sickles.

What Made the Admiral Weep.

Thrice during the two days given to
him Dewey wept. First, when he VS.
presented with the flag that once float
ed over F~arragut. Second, when, dur
ing the naval parade he looked from
the Olympia owe the great assemolage
Of vessels crowded with cheering men
and women. He then seemed to ZEAL
ize for the first time the profound char
acter of the feeling which he had in
spired. Several times he raised his
handkerchief to his eyes, and men who
had known him for the greater part
of his career said they had never before
seen him so moved. Third, when he
suddenly came into view of the 1900
school children On the great stand in
Seventy-second street. The children
had grouped themselves in blue letters
fifteen feet high, forming the word
Dewey" on a white ground. Led by
Frank Ramrosch, they Joined in a
mighty chorus as the procession pass
ed. Dewey halted in front Of the stand
and stood up, hat in hand, bowling .lls
gratitude. For a few moments he
stood thus, bareheaded, the teaIs
trickling down his face.-Gilson Willets
in Leslie's Weekly.
