THE Sun contended that trusts
could be killed by putting articles
controlled by them on the sfree list.
We asked that paper to bring on
their facts, but it only theories as be-
fore. Now as to facts. In cursory
examination of the report on imports,
we find that the following Particles,
controlled, by trusts ARE admitted ABB
soLUTELY FREE:-asphalt, anthracite
coal, bleaching powder, copper in
Tgots, fibre (for twine), fish, Efurs,
India rubber, oils, paper, salt, sugar
(part), etc. etc. So the Sun would try
to pull the countryEout of a 20 foot
hole with 10-foot pole. Furthermore
it "discredits the protection principle"
by intimating that home industries
have not now reached that point of
development that they are able to
compete with foreign manufacturers
Finally if no tariff kills trusts, why
should they have grown up SO is

HON, JOHN SIBERIAN.

Anxious friends have watched for
the daily reports Of the condition Of
Honorable John Sherman, and the
general announcement of his death, on
Tuesday, sooner than it was antici-
pated, came as a shock to those who
were hoping for more favorable intel
leoence. These were relieved when
the report was contradicted on We'd
nesday, and all are now hoping for
his complete recovery. Mr.. Shermans
has been an eventful life. He was
born at Lancaster, Chic, May 10th,
1923, received an academic education,
studied law and was admitted to the
bar May 18th, 1874, was delegate to
the Wing national conventions in 1913
and 1852, and presided over the first
Republican convention in the Ohio,
in 1855; was representative i'll the
34th, 35th, 36th and 57th congresses,
and was the Republican candidate
for speaker in the winter Of 1859 60;
was elected to the Senate ia March,
1861, and reelected in 1866 and 1871,
He was appointed Secretary of the
Treasury in 1877, and served as such
during the administration of Presi-
dent Hayes. Mr.. Sherman was re-
elected Senator to succeed Hon Allen
G.. Thurman, (Democrat), and took
his seat on the 4th of March, 1881
was president of the Senate from
December z, 1885, until February 26,
1887, and was reelected to the Sen
ate in 1886 and 1892. He resigned
from the Senate in 1897 to become
Secretary of State in President Nc
Kinley's cabinet. In ali of the fnan-
cial Legislation since the civil war,
Mr.. Sherman influence has been felt.
He has been prominently before
three Republican national conven-
ton as candidate for the nomina-
ton for president, and each time
with strong following. One of the
most notable convention speeches
ever delivered was that of Senator
Garfield presenting the name of Mr..
Sherman to the Chicago convention
of 1880. His home is at Mansfield,
Ohio, but he spends most of his time
in Washington. He is the son of
John and Mary Hoyt Sherman, and
traces his ancestry to Rev. John Sher-
man, who with his brother Samuel.
and his cousin john, enigrated from
Essex England, in 1884, settling in
Connecticut.

SHOULD PAY JUST TAXES.

The senate and house are at pres
emit nitted against each other on the
four per cent gross earning bill ana
Red River Valley drainage bill.
The senate has a majority OF one
against the gross earnings bill while
the house persists in holding up the
Red River Valley drainage bill until
the senate consents to the taxation of
railroads.
The senate is making a mistake IN
their attitude on the taxation Of rail-
road earnings. If they defeat the
bill, it will initiate against the party
next year, when the party will need
all the strength it can muster.
But a better argument is the just
ice of the bill. Statistics show that
railroads pay proptionately smaller
tax than any other business, and that
now their taxes should go up or their
freight rates come down,
Though much Of the adverse rail
road legislation is too hastily con-
ceived and often unconstitutional,
vet this particular bill cannot be
criticised on this ground when it is
fathered by such men as Auditor
Dunn. Speaker Dare and Representa-
tive jacobson.
The change of one vote inithe Sen
ate will pass the bill, or even the
absence of one or two Of the enemies
of the bill will allow it to be taken
from the table and passed. $500
900 of railroad taxes are in the
balance.
A fair sample of the opinion which
is going the rounds of the country
press is the following taken from the
Princeton Union
THE discussion of the 4 per cent.
gross earnings tax bill produced all
sorts of declarations as to what would
be done if Mr.. jacobson had only in
troduced a bill to reduce freight
rates. That, said the senators, is
where Mr.. jacobson should have
struck the railroads. On that propo
sition they would have been unani
nous, and would have soa ked it to
the railroads to beat the band. Every
man jack Of them was ready to de
clare that he would be ready for any
plan to relieve the farmer by reduc
ing freight rates and that he was ''no
particular friend of the railroads."
They were willing to do anything
in reason and they believed that the
farmers needed relief, BUT-as there
have been all sorts of propositions to
reduce rates on all classes of freight
and as none of these propositions have
ever been carried into effect, and as
everybody knows it would be almost
impossible to carry one of them into
effect even if they were enacted, it
did not cost the senators anything to
go on record as to what they would
do to the railroads if they had
chance. And all the talk did not fool
soul"
