What is to Prevent 2.

England has 1856 trusts, which
must be orphans, as there is no
tariff to mother to them. They
control such interests as steel and
iron rails, petroleum, war ship
building, lead pipe, fish supply,
metal utensils, antimony, nickel,
mercury, thread, salt, alkall and
rubber tires. One engineering
combine has a capital of $780,
600, 900.
In Germany lsO trusts were or
ganized two years ago and their
number has largely increased
since then. There is a big Ger
man coal trust, and an Austrian
Rolling mill trust; there are
French combinations controlling
iron, petroleum, sugar. chemicals
and numberless other products.
Belgium is overrun with trusts,
and these countries have various
kinds of tariff.
With these European trusts and
the abolition of our present pro.
tective tariff, what is to prevent
the combination of American and
European trusts in the same lines
of production? With such com.
pinations, the low wages In Eng
land would naturally result II
closing American manufactures
or moving them to England
where labor would cost only one.
half what it would IN America
American machinery and methods
transferred to England, with tht
low wages there, would inflict
serious blow upon American
workingmen and Americanindus
tries. Tacoma CIV a h.) IL e d

all parties, and they thrive IN
England and Germany as well as
in America. In the eastern rural
districts, where the heaviest re-
publican vote exists, the warfare
upon trusts is waged with more
|vigor than is evidenced in demo-
cratic cities, where the bulk of
the laboring population is in some
way dependent on industrial pur-
suits. Produce a remedy for the
evil and the republican party will
be as quick to take it UP and press
it as any other. Nor will it be
|less assiduous in search of a rem
edy. With things in this posi-
ton how is it possible to draw
campaign lines? People who are
agreed cannot divide and fight;
when two parties are equally So
fictitious to smash the trusts"
how is one, unless it presents a
remedy which the othea rejects,
going to profit by the issue?
The great trouble is that no
one has a remedy. The federal
law is necessarily limited in its
application; the state laws have
uniformly failed. Has the de-
mocracy anything new to sug-
gest? If it has not it's slogan of
smash the trusts!' will be as
meaningless and inconsequential
as one to wipe out the grip or
abolish the measles.---San Fran

WASHINGTON LETTER.
From Our Regular Correspondent.


WASHINGTON, D. c., July 2S, '99.
There has been a lot of silly
talk about this country having
become frightened by the bellige-
rent attitude of the Canadians,
and granted concessions in order
to try to settle the Alaska boun-
dary dispute. Nobody in Wash
ington has been the least bit
frightened by the talk about war
INDUCED in by Canadian officials,
and they would not have been
frightened even had Canada pos
sessed the authority to make war,
about which its officials talked so
glibly, and, most important of
all, no concession whatever has
been made. The proposition
made by Secretary Hay, which is
now being considered by the
British government, to allow
Canada the free use of a u. S.
port on the Lynn canal, in order
to secure temporary agreement
upon a boundary line, is not a
new one. 1t was submitted by
this government to the joint high
commission, during its sitting in
Washington last winter, and was
rejected, the Canadians demand
ing. and the U. S. commissioners
refusing the outright cession of
the port. Nobody can say, of
course, that the proposition is go
ling to be accepted by Great Brit
ain, but indications are pointing
that way.
| Owing to the fact that the gov
lernor of Louisiana has not sent
an official report of the recent
Ilynching of five Italians in that
state, which was asked for by
Secretary Hay as soon as the dip
llomatic representative of Italy
filed a protest at the department
Iof state, no answer has been made
to that protest. The Italian en-
|bassy is also waiting for a report
4 from the Italian consular officials,
lwho have been ordered to investi.
.lgate the lynching. Upon the ma
ture of these reports will depend
whether indemnity will be de
mande by Italy, as was done II
the New Orleans cases some
Years ago; also whether this gov
lernment will pay if the demand i
made.
