This outcome was evidenced, when,
after a prolonged struggle, in which

a majority vote ordered the appoint

referred, without reading or debate, all
resolutions presented to the confer

believed that the faction which con-

The Trust Conference.

The Chicago trust conference was

terzation of Bourke Cochran, for its
Dangerous intoxication of phrases, !"
aud for the circumstance that when
the magnificent periods" had been
spoken none of the orators "quite
knew what they had been talking
about" A matter of incidental inter-
est was the extinguishment of Col.
Bryan as an antitrust advocate and
specialist, and his total eclipse in the
oratorical tilt with Bourke Cochran of
New York, his antipode on the money
question. Mr.. Cockran's remarkable
speech in reply to Bryan's plan for
controlling trusts has also left the anti
trust issue, with which Democracy was
scheming to trick the voters at the
next national election, in an exceeding
ly demoralized condition. The Demo.
Gratis, it is suggested, may have an anti
trust conference all by themselves, to
repair the damage recently inflicted at
Chicago upon one of their pet issues.
The result of several days of perfer.
vid oratory by cranks, politicians, pol
itcal economists, illumined here and
there by CLEAN of light from the
candle of sense and reason, was mega
ton. The matter of formulating the
conclusions of the conference had been
taken from the delegates as a body
and placed in the hands of committee
on resolutions. The committee re-
ported that, in its opinion, the confer
ence was without authority, and that it
would be inexpedient to adopt resolu-
tions purporting ITO declare the sense
OF the conference upon any aspect of
the subject of discussion"
The honors OF the conference were
with Bourke Cochran. Against that
rock of ready wit, capacity for incisive
statement, understanding of what he

theory, apprehension, buncombe and
folly in general beat, and it rolled them
back in a tumult OF discontinue and
admiring applause. Whether or not
one agrees with Mr.. Cochran, the mag.
ni6cence Of his reply TO Bryan and
those who supported his proposition re-
speeding federal legislation, the readi
ness and imperturbability with which
he met and answered the questions and
propositions that were hurled at him
from the body of the house, wins uni
versal admission and applause. 1t has
been equalled only in the case of Ton
Reed, when as speaker he was conduct

,dure in the national House of Repre-
sentatives.

To the TransYaal.

The tigress of the Nations
Has left her lair once more;
Her ships are loading raton,,
Her troops are armed for war;
On human blood long drunken,
She scents feeble prey;
And she has never shrunl<en
From gain, though she must slay.
Toevery cline she carries
Her blood red flag of lust;
Woe to the foe that parties,
For honor's sake, her thrust!
In frozen lands and torrid
Where men defend their soil,
They read u on her forehead
The brand of shameful spoil
o silent, stubborn freemen
Whom she cannot enslave-
Breed of the old Dutch seamen
Who scourged her on the wave,-
She hates you for the honor
mat crowns your little state;
With murders mask upon her,
She plots without your gate.
And she will come in power
To bend you to the yoke,
God help you in that hour
To meet the lightning-stroke!
For love of all you cherish,
For honor, common veal,
Die, if you must, but perish
With blood upon your STEEL
Aye, meet the great marauder,
Though red your life-blood runs,
And drive her from your border
Or die beside your guns.
She, with her victory stated,
Sha be, while Time endures,
For her expressions hated;
And honor shall be yours

condition of public sentiment. In this
business Mr.. Eddy is an expert. AS a
result of his investigation, he says that
the foreign policy of the administration
will be the principal issue in the pres.
idental campaign. OF that issue, he
said: "The sentiment of the country
is, in my opinion, overwhelmingly in
favor of maintaining American suprem-
acy over every foot of territory which
came to us as result of the war with
Spain. The anti-expansionists of the
East have really done President Nc

American dignity and honor has alws vs.

voters"

Speaking of the drift of the trust
conference into ian atmosphere of big
ness concerning what is called the evil
of monopolies," Mr.. Cochran professe d
his readiness to enlist under the ban
ner of those who were seeking their
suppression. If the monopoly was
evil, and it were shown to be an evil
he would not hesitate to adopt Mr..
Bryan's remedy. But it appeared from
Mr.. Bryan's own remarks that he and
his followers were "simply creating a
fanciful picture" Their excessive af
lection for their fellows had conjured
up grade of evils that existed only in
their own brains. "Like Don Quixote
of DID," was the sharp point of this
thrust 'you are constituting yourself
knight Grant of political economy
not against the windmill, but enlisting
the windmill upon your side" And
this felicitous Characterization of the
"Boy Orator of the Platte" was receiv-
ed with laughter and applause.

competition in the production, of an
article to those engaged in the pro-
duction in this country. eff trust or
combination is to be formed, manifest
ly it aids the enterprise when the field
OF competition is originally limited"
Possibly more accurate statement
would be that the tariff simply changes
the habitation of the enterprise. The
tariff shifted competition for the trade
of the American market from Europe
to America. Without the tariff there
would he very limited manufactures OF
iron and steel in this country. There
would have been no occasion for iron
| or steel trusts. Production of iron and
steel now, as generation ago, for the
American market, would be confined
chic fly to England. Without the tariff
there would be no tin manufactured il
the United States, and no opportunity
here for combination of tin plate max
ers. TIE combination would be on thu
other side of the seas and the con
sumers in this country would be thu
victims. The situs only of the trus
would be changed. Whether it is bet
ter to be at the mercy of a foreigr
trust which this country cannot con
troll through its laws, or of hom'
trust which can be so controlled-o
can be if the will is present and exer
cised-is hardly debatabe ques

"Jim" Boyle, an old newspaper man,
who was private secretary to President
Mckinley while he was Governor of
Ohio, and during the campaign OF 1896,
but who has been for the last two years,
United States consul at Liverpool, En-
gland, is in Washington on vacation.
Being close observer aud careful
man, these words Of Mr. Boyle are
gratifying to all Americans, and should
be valuable to the American manufac-
turer who is seeking to extend his for
eign trade, especially with England:
"The most gratifying thing 10 citizen
OF this country is the ever increasing
demand in England for Yankee manu-
features. What would try to impress
on our people is the vital necessity of
sending over only high-class goods. BY
keeping our products up to high
standard we secure the confidence OF
the English, who are always willing to
pay the very highest prices for the best.
But any deterioration from this stand
ard breeds distrust and means dim
mutton of imports. In some lines, by a
failure to pursue this correct policy, we
have already suffered loss, notably in
the bicycle trade, which in 1898 fell of
fifty per cent from the preceding year
owing to the fact that great many
trashy wheels we're sent from this
country to England, the result being
that some degree of suspicion was sure
to attach TO all American makes OF
bicycles in the future"
