REPUBLICAN RECORD ON TRUSTS.

1t is the republican, not the demo
cratic party that has legislated nationally
against trusts. A democratic congress
never originated any ANTITRUST law, but
a law of this nature has been greatly
weakened by democratic votes. Thus
stands the official record of congress.
Republican administrations have acted
~ restraint of trusts. Democratic
administrations have either done moth
ing or undermined the republican stat
ute passed for trust restriction. Many
democrats who are shouting for an anti
trust campaign next year imagine that
they have turned a new issue, and one
in which their party is not Handicapped
by past misdeeds and plumbers. They
are mistaken. As far as congress has
acted on this question since 1890 the
republican policy has been to prohibit
monopolistic business combinations and
the democratic policy to overthrow the
antitrust provisions of the party they
antagonize. These facts will surprise
many democrats now SO enthusiastic
oyer their new-found issue. But the
truth Of the matter is imbedded in the
laws of the country, where comparison
is easy, and in.the reports of congress,
accuracy Of which is unchallenged.

In Paris Water Is the Most Precious and
Exclusive Drink.
Water is the most precious and ex-
elusive drink you can order in Paris, .
writes Lillian Bell in a letter from the
French capital to The Ladies' Home
Journal. Imagine that, you who let
the water run to cool it'll In Paris they
actu lily pay for water in their houses
by the quart. Artichokes and trufies
and mushrooms and silk stockin;,s and
kid gloves are SO cheap here that it
makes you blink your eyes. but eggs
and cream and milk are luxuries. Silks
and velvets are bowilderingly inexpen-
sive, but cotton stuffs are from America
and are extravagances. They make them
up into costumes and trim them with
velvet ribbon. Never by any chance
could you be supposed to send cotton
frocks to be washed every week. The
luxury of fresh, starched muslin dresses
and plenty of shirt waists is unknown.
II never shall overcome the ecstasies
of laughter which assail me when / see
varieties of coal exhibited in tiny shop
windows, set forth in high glass dishes,
us we exploit chocolates at home. But
well they may respect it, for it is really
very much cheaner to freeze to death
than to buy coal in Paris. The reason
of all this is the city tax on every chick
en-, every carrot, every egg brought into
Paris. Every mouthful of food is taxed.
This produces an enormeus revenue, and
this is why the streets are so clean. 1t
is why the asphalt is as smooth as a
ballroom floor. 1t is why the whole of
Paris is as beautiful as a dream"

c-aa,A 10. Earm.r.

We have lately given some ancount Of
the operation of agricultural banks in
Europe, which have done very muoh for
the farming class by making it possible
for 1t to secure loans ON such security as
farmers can offer. The farmer is espe-
cially in need of credit, for the interval
must always be considerable between
the preparation of the soil and the har-
vesting of the crop. He must spend
money a long time before he can get
any back. AS to most of his products, he
may be said to be carrying on a bust
ness where the stock is turned over but
once a year. Furthermore, as . crop
natures all over the country ut the same
season, and generally within q period OF
a few weeks, it is particularly impor-
tant to the farmer that he should not be
compelled tt realize on his harvests i'm
mediately. He would break the market
if he were obliged to sell all his crops
as soon as gathered, and yet he must
sell a good deal, for he has been under
expense for months without any income.
While the farmer more than almost
any other producer needs credit, he can
not generally offer commercial security,
and real estate is not a good security for
ordinary banks of discount to take, and
it is unlawful for onr national banks to
accept it. The result is that the farmer
is usually compelled to sell his produce
at an unpropitious time or to get credit
of merchants and private bankers for
which usurious rates are obtained. In
this country there has been practically
no effort to supply this need for agricul-
tural credits, although the brokers and
private bankers and factors who have
made a practice of lending to farmers
have made a great deal of money out OF
it, for the absence of competition en-
ables them to get a high rate for money,
and the farmer pretty generally pays his
debts.
1t is singular that in our own country
no effort has been made to afford agri-
culture in general 6he capital it needs
for the improving of land and for carry
Ing ON farm operations during the long
intervals between the annual marketing
of crops. The changed conditions of the
times make it imperative that farming
must be conducted upon more scientific
principles so as to get out of the land
more than it has heretofore produced
and that necessity leaves no alternative
but either TO afford the farmer enlarged
credit facilities or to leave the present
Iandholders to be frozen out by insoly-
ency, with the result of transferring this
industry to a class possessing smpler
raeans and able to cultivate larger farms
upon improved methods. Journal Of
Commerce and Commercial Bulletin.

The Sparta Democrat seems restless
under the ills it has and would fly tc
others that it knows not of. In a re.
cent issue the Democrat says:
The happiest man in the world today
is the successful farmer. He sits con
tentedly under his own vine and fig tree
undisturbed by the maddening noises OF
the great city. While banks fail, rail
roads go into the hands of receivers,
booming towns collapse and all bust,
ness stagnates, the wise farmer is in his
glory and can snap his finger at all these
things. He is me narci of all ne survey
on his broad acres, and the honesty OF
his boys. and the purity of his girls
is guarded against temptation and in
them he is giving the country it's best
manhood and womanhood. The farmer
is to be envied, and fhe is not contented
with his lot he is lacking in wisdom.

LOYALTY AN ESSENTIAL TO PEACE.

Whitewater Register: Thousands of
lives and millions of treasure were lost
to the country during our great civil
wal because of the hostile criticism
which the administration suffered from
the newspapers and public speakers in
the loyal states. The last hope OF the
south was that its friends at the north
would prove to be such a drag upon the
effects of the patriot army and its sup
porters that the cause of disunion would
win. Had it been possible to deprive
the secessionists of this unrighteous
source Of encouragement, Gettysburg
would have been the Appomattox OF the
war;, the long list of dead soldiers In
blue, and the enormous war debt, n
the present pension annuity Of $145, 600, 600
would all be less and fewer by at least a
third. And what happened in the early
sixties is now being repeated in the latter
nineties. The government is engaged
in a difficult and costly war-costly In
mems lives and in money. The situa-
ton from the first has been full OF the
most perplexing and untried problems.
1t is difficult to see when OF how Presl-
Mckinley could have done differently or
less than he has done at any time from
the blowing up of the Maine to the
present hour, and have maintained the
honor of the country, and the rights
which have fallen into his keeping. Yet
the deadly experience of the civil war Is
being repeated. The insurgent F1ilplnos
have their allies by the thousands with
in our borders. Instead OF the forbear-
ance and tolerent silence which those
who do not fully approve of the course
of the administration might reasonably
be expected to exert, they give voice TO
their carping criticisms and SO loudly
that it reaches the field of hostility,
carrying encouragement to the enemy
and booming scores and hundreds OF our
brave soldiers to needless death because
of the prolonged conflict. No one would
have the government withdraw now
from the contest, then why should not
every one hold up his hands till peace IS
restored, leaving the questions OF the
future to the keeping of the future.
