not exceed SOC pounds. Moose and tish

known dead moose to put on 90 pounds

rKUSTs AND THE TARIFF.

TRUSTS AND
Speaking of the trusts the Fourteenth
street organ of this trust administra-
ton says:
They would exist under any tariff con-
ditions, and only statutes prohibiting their
existence would stop the matter t'-
What dull and maudlin faulty is
this.
Would, or could, the trusts shove
their prices to American consumers
beyond the point where foreign COM
petition would step in were there no
tariff to protect them in their extor-
tons upon American consumers?
Would, or could, the Tin Plate Trust,
which has important mills in this
neighborhood by the throat and is
liable to close them down Indefinitely
at any time and throw thousands of
our citizens out of work, would this
concern have made the recent enOr-
nous increases in the prices it charges
American consumers had it not been
shielded in its robbery of the Amer
lean user of tin plate by the handy
tariff which prohibits competition from
abroad and gives this concern an alb
solute monopoly of the home market?
No one contends that all trusts are
sheltered in their extortions by the
monopoly tariff, for there are several
lines of industry controlled by trusts,
such as that of the Standard Oil Trust,
that are not and could nc be appre-
ciably affected by foreign competition,
but where this is true of one trust
that has natural monopoly there are
broken at once and the American con-
sumner protected from their unjust and
unlawful extortions by simply letting
down the tariff bars on their product
and letting in foreign competition.
Bringing expert testimony to bear
on this subject we quote from the En-
cheering and Mining Journal in it's
recent review of the industrial situa-
ton. We call special attention to it's
recommendation as to the remedy for
the trust evil:
1--WE have been developing altogether too
many trusts and combinations for our in
dustrial health, and the year has given
great impetus to their development In
the iron and steel trade especially combi-
nation has gone forward at a rapid rate,
and at one time it seemed probable that
the whole trade might be dominated by
single combine. That has been averted
for the time, but the trust idea is still too
predominant. The combination of capital
is good thing, and without it much of
our recent industrial progress would have
been impossible, but it can be carried too
far, and people generally-and with a
good deal of justice-regard the trade
combine or trust with suspicion. Here
too, mistaken economic policy is to be
blamed and the best way to fight the
trust evil is to conclude that Combined
industry is no longer an infant industry,
and needs no protection. This is a mat
ter for serious consideration, and exper-
fence has shown that the best devised

He WHO-CAN 'T-TELL-THE-T

We all know what our Fourteenth
had our contemporary been born
among the American abOrigines, who
wisely aim to make ones name signify
his most prominent characteristic.
They named Gen. Lawton, who is now
in the Philippines, He-Who-Gets-Up-
In-the-N ight-andFigh on account of
his alertness when among them and his
tendency to turn out and give battle
at any hour of the night. 1t was fit
ting cognomen. What they would have
termed our Fourteenth street neigh
Dor is no secret. The following from
our contemporary columns exhibits
it's most prominent characteristic:
ern papers only denounce lynchings when
the occur in the South"
This is but the first sentence of an
article full of similar exhibitions of
chronic mendacity
Of course, the Register need not state
that it never referred to the northern
papers" in this connection, but to 'sthe
bloodyshirt contingent of the northern
press" such as our neighbor, which
are ever bowling at the white people
of the South whenever a lynching oc-
ours in that section, while they remain
apathetic to similar outrages when
perpetrated by white people in the
North.
Thank heaven, the entire northern
press is not thus guided by base parti-
sanship and narrow-minded and big
oted hatred of the South, but that a
large and influential portion of north
ern newspapers-the best of them, in
fact-are capable Of approaching the
enormous burden of the South repre-
sented by the race problem and of tell
ing the truth about it.
AS we have many times before sta
ted, the most insidious and the worst
enemies of southern development and
business prosperity are such bigoted.
narrow-minded and untruthful papers.
which, to make little miserable polit-
ical capital, are ever disappearing
the southern people and tanning the
fires of sectional hatred that otherwise
would have been dead a good quarter
of century ago.
