TRUSTS DEFENDED.
Mr.. Eddy's Address Before the Conn
merciaf Congress.

PHILADELPHIA. Oct. 2.-To-day's ses-
sion OF the International Commerce Con-
gress, held in the assembly room of the
bourse, was devoted TO the discussion OF
Pan-Americen relations. The attendance
was better than that OF any day since che
opening of the congress and several i'm
portant papers were read. Henry W. Pea
body, of the Boston Chamber OF Commerce,
presided.
The first speaker was Coolidge S. Roberts.
delegate from Buenos Ayres. who read a
paper the conditions existing in the Ar
gentine Republic. Mr.. Roberts said that
the people of the Argentine Republic were
constantly watchful of the United States
and Europe for inventions and implements
which they were quick to utilize.
Antonio L. Dolfino, consul general OF
Venezuela, spol9a briefly of the commercial
conditions in his country. He called spe-
cial attention TO the facilities offered by
Venezuela for the great packing industries
of the United States. He declared that the
cattle and live stock of Venezuela are par
tcularly suited for packing and export. and
the nearness OF the important points 10 the
United States is another favorable element.

arguments in favor of large combinations
commonly known as trusts" A study OF
the exports from the United States for re-
cent years, he said, will show that their
great growth is due TO the ability of the
larger units 10 produce. transport and mar
ket at cheaper prices than the small units
doing like business in other countries In
conclusion he said:
IF the export of American goods is TO
continue to increase II will be necessary
to still further perfect our organization for
production and transportation. This can
only be done in other fields IL has been
done in the fields of railway transporta-
ton by a series of combinations and con-
solicitations. Those larger units involve the
organization OF combinations which are to-
day called trusts. Such are condemned as
restraint to the trade, yet If the facts
before stated are correct, instead of re-
straining trade they stimulate it"

being the discrimination against the son
who married the woman of his choice in
stead of some woman of his fathers
choice. The deceased Vanderbilt's -eputa-
ton for charity and good works is well sus-
tanned by mis- requests to a large number
Of public charities. hospitals churches, IL
braries and colleges. and his kindness OF
heart is shown by legacies TO his servants,
his head farmer, his barber. etc. II is some
what surprising that a man who was so
just and generous in many directions could
be so unjust and even mean towards a son
whose only offense was marrying against
his fathers wishes. The discrimination
made against him reflects more upon the
father than it does upon the son. but 1t
afforded the elder brother an opportunity
to do fine act of justice and magnanim-
ity by giving the younger brother 100000
out Of his own allowance. In this respect,
at least. the new head OF the Vanderbilt
family has shown that he is a broader and
juster man than his father was.

Smart, but Not Smart Enough.

New York Evening Sun.
While the President was in Milwaukee, a
few weeks ago, some youngsters thought it
would be good idea to get excused from
school that they might more thoroughly
enter into the spirit of the day. But how to
get the excuse signed? A parents sigma
ture was, of course, the proper thing, but
both youngsters knew that in this particu-
lar case their parents were not TO be re-
lied on. Suddenly one of them had bright
idea. They would get President Mckin-
ley himself TO sign the excuse 1t would be
easy enough to simply stay away from
school on the day itself, and with an ex-
cuse for the previous absence signed by
the President himself they need have no
fear of being kept in nor punished in
any way on the day following. One Of the
youngsters accordingly pushed his way
through the crowd to the presidential stand
and, clambering without ceremony to the
top. thrust a bit of scrubbed paper before
anybody could stop him into the President
hand and asked for a signature. II took
Mr.. Mckinley second or two to compre-
bend the situation, but when he did he put
his name TO the slip without word. The
youngster slid down happy. Next day at
school the two truants presented their ex-
cuse. The teacher glanced at the auto
graph. Mckinley doesn't run this school,
she observed, and hard-heartedly Kept them
in just the same.

"AN ARMY OF GENTLEMEN f"
The Impression Made by the Amer.
lean Troops at Yokohama,
Philadelphia North American.

Philadelphia North American.
There are so many painful things con-
nected with our occupation of the Philip
pines that everything which reflects credit
upon our flag in that part of the world is
sure Of welcome The accounts that come
from Yokohama of the impression made
there by our returning volunteers are CAL
culated to restore that pride in our SOL
diery which anti-imperialist literature has
been tending to undermine.
The Fifty-first Iowa, the last OF the volun-
teer regiments to be sent home, touched at
Yokohama on the 9th inst. Their de-
parture," says dispatch, lends one of the
most remarkable features OF the war,
whether II be considered in the light of the
irreproachable conduct of the great army
of the Americans passing through or in
that of the patriotic resolution OF the little
American community here, which has In
various ways administered to their needs"
The little American colony in Yokohama
had undertaken the tremendous work of
feeding 1900 soldiers during their stay in
port, Ito organize for them an extensive
bureau of information, 20 guard them
against imposition, to care for all the sick,
70 furnish free baths, TO provide delightful
headquarters and in every way to remind
them that they were already among friends
and countrymsn." Most of this work was
done by the women, and the means were
provided literally by the men of the col
ony without accepting any of the foreign
aid that was freely offered And the army.

sullied record, the 12,000 to the. amazement
of all foreigners, having proved themselves
in every regard an army of gentlemen.
Nothing can exceed the pride which the
Yokohama American takes to-day in that
army unless 1t be the gratitude of the men
composing it,
That is the sort of thing Americans like
to hear. 1t gives them more real satisfac-
ton than victory. If they could be sure
that the American army had won as much
popularity in Manila as in Yokohama they
would be more inclined than they have been
to regard the situation there with patience.

rendered similar service by negotiating the
larger part of s2.O0o 10000 bonds issued by
the government during the civil war. Hugh
McCulloch, an Indiana banker, first con-
troller OF the currency and afterwards sec

duces papers Of real educa tional value on
questions of finance and political economy.
In short, it Is doubtful if, considering their
limited numbers, any other class of citizens

triotic, educational way than bankers or
have furnished a larger proportion of clear
thinkers and good writers on subjects with
which they are familiar.

BANKERS AS EDUCATORS.

A delegate to the bankers convention,
speaking on THE Bankers Duty as an
Educator" said: 81 do not think the banker
has been much of teacher in this coun-
try" The News thinks the reproach de-
served, and adds:
The American bankers have. as rule,
been content to consider themselves as
forming class apart. and thus they have
by their attitude strengthened the prejudice
against them. which. be 1t said. is not
wholly the work OF the demagogue. In
deed, the men who have striven hardest TO
remove this prejudice by the spread Of in
formation on the subject of banks have
been men who were not bankers. Econo-
mists, college professors, Statesmen, broad
minded business men, have all done their
part to educate the people on ,, the su6jeet; Of
has been done by the bankers themselves.
This may be literally true. but in
broader view it is only partially correct.
Whether the bankers have done their duty
as educators depends on what is to be re-
garded as education. In a strictly academic
sense they may not have done much. though
some bankers have written exceedingly well
on financial ana economic topics. But au-
thorship and lecturing are not the only
means of educating. Precept and example
they do not cover as wide field. He who
makes two blades Of grass grow where only
one grew before is more OF a public bene-
factor than he who writes or talks volumin-
ously about grass in the abstract without
sowing any seed improving the soil.
Thousands of commodities have been bene-
flied and educated by the example of thrift,
economy. strict integrity. close attention to
business and faithful discharge of trusts set
by local bankers. Not all bankers come up
to this standard. but great many do. and
their example has an educating influence.
But bankers have done their part in other
ways. and some very conspicuously. They

1t Is conundrum and has been a matter
that has kept the people guessing to know
exactly where Colonel Bryan stands on the
Philippine problem. According to his own
statement he would not pull down the flag"
and yet to raise it means a deadly assault
from Aguinaldo. Colonel Bryan would not
run away" from the Philippines, and yet If
the American army don't get out Aguinaldo
proposes to kill them all Colonel Bryan
would retain naval station and military
point on the Island of Luzon. and yet to do
SO must be by coercion which is in viola
ton of the conditions of peaceful govern
ment which Colonel Bryan would have es-
tablished. Colonel Bryan would control
the Philippine islands by protectorate, -
but against that proposition Aguinaldo
would fight just as strongly as he is fight
ing against the army under General Otis
at the present moment. Under the circum-
stances 1t Is somewhat difficult" to under
stand just exactly what Colonel Bryan
wants the government of the United States
to do, and yet preserve all it's rights.
