President of the United States ever ruled
in such an atmosphere of personal love
and esteem, as Mr. Mckinley. The
humbest citizen speaks and feels con-
corning him, with a sense of intimacy"
Well might he, for our President is an
humble, christian man, one of the COM
mon people, with no blue-blood, aristo-
cratic foolishness about him. The Re-
publican parry has singular mack of Sc
Letting and electing just such men-men,

them. Mckinley has honored the nation,
has honored himself and has strengthened
his party in the esteem and respect and
well-wishes Ct the people. All persons
respect and honor him.

Tariff and Trusts

Periodically arises the man who has
some argument to fling at the tariff sys-
tenn OF the United States. While it IS
not particularly new this time, it is in line
with the rest when the witnesses testify
ing before the United States commission
ers insist tibet the tariff is responsible for
the trusts in the United States. Ii might
be worth while 10 dispute the statement,
but it may be just as wise 10 assume, for
tie purpose Of argument, that the tariff
has made possible the trust. Probably it
has to 90 even farther. For before the
time Of the tariff certainly trust could
not exist in the United States. Until the
conditions arose which came from the en-
enlargement Of judic:ous tariff there was
I no inducement for men to invest millions
Of dollars in gigantic enterprises, nor, for
that matter, dollars without the millions.
Without the conditions that have followed
the tariff there would be no sugar refining
companies selling sugar for six cents a
pound, nor twelve cents, nor perhaps for
twenty cents. Before the tariff made sugar
refining profitable in the United States
most men bought brown sugar for about
sixteen cents or more and white sugar
was curiosity. Before the tariff made
the manufacture of tin plate possible, per-
haps, too, the tin plate company, tin sold
as high at IS box, against about half
that now, and no combination of capital
engaged in the business. The tariff has
done a great many things, and if it has
made trusts possible it has done it by
making manufacturing in this country as
a profitable investment Of capital possible
and has made the mill and factory posi-
bic. Perhaps that has made vast combi-
nations of capital possible. Sure enough,
they would not have been possible under
any other conditions. The American
tariff can account any day for its offenses
and without much Pittsburg

the 5 per cent bonds, which are quoted in
the markets at II3 IA, is two hundred
and eighty-thousanths Of per cent per
annum.
The plain fact is, the note-issuing priv
iIege was given to the national banks in
order to make a market for the bonds
which were then under par. The priv
ilege was valuable one then, but the
bonds were not desirable investments.
When they went to great premium con-
ditions were exactly reversed, and this is

There are three lessons | would write,
Three words as with a golden pen,
In tracings of eternal light
Upon the hearts of men.
Have hopei Though clouds environ round
And gladness hides her face in scorn,
Put thou the shadow from thy brow
No night but has its morn.
Have faith! Where'er thy bark is driven
The calm's disport, the tempest's mirth
Know this: God rules the hosts Of heaven,
The inhabitants of earth.
Have Lowell Not love alone for one,
But man as man thy brother call
But scatter, like the circling sun,
Thy charities on all.
Thus grave these words upon thy soul,
Hope, faith and love-and thou shalt fine
Strength when lifes surges maddest roll
| Light, when thou else vert blind.

The question of trusts is very impor-
tant one, and must be solved. Recently
the Supreme Court of Indiana decided
that State courts may annul the charter of
any corporation created under that States
laws, if it abuses IT'S privileges by seeking
to prevent competition, or by discriminat-
ing against individuals. This is an impor-
tant decision, and shows how such COM
binations may be abolished, In this case,
two gas companies consolidated, in order
to prevent competition. They agreed to
charge the same rates for gas, and each
refused to sell gas to a consumer who
quit the other company. Suit was
brought to annul their charters. Their
charters were annuled, the court deciding:
"Whatever act destroys competition, or
even relaxes it, upon the part of those who
sustain relations to the public, is regarded
by the law as injurious to public interests,
and is therefore deemed to be unlawful,

The employees of the Baltimore andOhio
shops presented Mr.. Howard Keedy, time
keeper, with fine gold Knights of Pythias
