The Cincinnati Enquirer, one of extreme
advocates OF sIxteen.to one and all with
which that theory is connected, cordially
commends President McKinley's recent
order releasing some federal positions rom
control of the civil service commission
ers. The Enquirer says that President Nc
Kinley has taken step in the right direc-
tion, but not very long one. 1t carefully
and cautiously takes out of the classified
service some positions that under even
severe Interpretation of tho civil service law
ought never to have been plsced there.
SO far as 1t goes it recognizes the right
principle, which Is that the heads of bureaus
AID divisions-the men responsible for
the proper conduct Of the COVE, nment bust
ness-are the ones who ought to be the
judges of the fitness Of their subordinates.
The Enquirer further says that the presi.
dents civil service order is the best thing
in his administration so far, though it is not
all that highest honesty and courage demand
of him in that direction.

Free Trade Trusts Too

The theory that trusts are essentially
product of the protective tariff has been a
favorite one in democratic arguments Oh
the subject. The fallacy of this claim is
shown 10y an article from the pen of II. w.
Macrosty, an English economist in the
March Contemporary Review" 1t shows
that the trust principle is already establish
ed and gaining ground in free trade Eug
land as well as in the United States The
writer quotes, for example, few English
trusts controlling such interests as steel and
iron rails, petroleum, warship building,
lead pipes, fish supply, metal utensils, anti.
mOny, nickel, mercury, thread, SALT alkali
and rubber tires. One engineering com.
bine is mentioned as having a capital of
$50 600, 900 This good sized bunch of GEN.
tralized industries managed to get together
under the English free trade system, and
Is said by this writer to be only portion of
a steady movement toward combination
and monopoly" With the trust system
hourishiDg so briskly under absolute free
trade, it will readily be seen that the sug.
gested removal of the tariff from an articles
handled by trusts would be an inefficient
method of suppressing their growth.
AS matter of fact, 1t is unnecessary to
look outside OF the trust itself for reason
for its existence. The increased economy.
of production and decreased expense of dis.
tribution possible under combination of
small industries into one large one is ample
explanation OF the growth OF the trust sys-
tenn of doing business. The trust problem
stands by itself and will have to be dealt
with by itself.-Souix City Ia.) Journal.
