school ceases to be a mere private enter
prise and acquires what might be called
a public or State position, like That of
other large academies. In furtherance of
this idea, the management has called to

Above all. Hasbrouck has about it an
atmosphere of sincerity which creates
confidence In all who observe its course
in the pupils, in parents. and In outsiders

AMUsEMENTS.


"A Little Ray of Sunshine will be the
play in the Jersey City Academy OF

comedy and this is its first appearance
to this city. 1t has been running
throughout the past season in the English

pal players is Mr.. William Elton. Among
the pretty English girls are Misses Ade-
line Stuart, Janet Alexander. Grace Dud-
ley, Lorna Lawrence and Lucy Evelyn.
The male contingent consists of Messrs,
Wallace Erskine, Charles Cherry, Robert
Bottomley, Herbert Sparkling, George
Summer, George Riddell. Cecil Elgar and

The purpose of the play Is to amuse,
but the comedy is interspersed with
dashes of pathos. and the critical opinions
of the New York press tend to Show that
the efforts nave been fruitful.
Matinees will be given Wednesday and
Saturday.

Mr.. william J. bryan has placed MIN
self in a curious position by his antics a
the Trust conference in Chicago. In one
and the same speech he advocated inter
nal imperialism and INSTRUMENTATION
doctrines with a disregard for consistency
and for the theory on which our Nationa
system is founded. quite characteristic OF
the man and of the class of anarchists
which he speaks for.
On the one hand. he recommended laws
forbidding corporations from doing pusi-
ness outside the States in which they are
organized. HE urges the righteof eacn
state to protect itself against the cor
porations of all the Others On the other
hand he urges the creation of a system OF
licensing by the Federal Government
through which the State barriers would
be broken down and corporations per-
mitted to do business just as at present
1t Is unnecessary to point out that the
latter proposal is. the most sweeping
scheme Of GENERALIZATION that has ever
been proposed since the adoption OF tne
Constitution. It would put the Federal
Government in direct control of the entire
commercial system of the country, over
riding the authority of the States and re-
ducing them as political units to a po-
sition hardly superior to counties or town.
ships on a large scale.
AS for the other proposal, grotesquely
Inconsistent with tbs licensing one, as 1t
Is. It is plain that it would speedily lead
to the disruption of the Union. There
would be little BOND indeed between States
which had taken to erecting Chinese
walls about themselves to prevent their
neighbors from doing business in their
territory.
There is on remedy against the Trust
evil, and one only. Reform the tariff.
Cut out of 1t the e-xtravagant profits to
monopelistic combinations. This is final.
1t gives the consumers, the people, the
lowest prices that the world can offer.
Universal competition means this. 1t
cannot mean anything else. And when
the prices are thus brought down to their
lowest competitive level, the trusts are
NOT a bad thing. They secure such econ
omics to the capital embarked that good
wages can be paid.
1t is certain hat no regulative system
imposed by law can meet the situation.
Legislative Interference with trade and in
dustry is now. has always been and al
ways will be a blunder. Nations have
impeded their growth for centuries and
Others have impoverished themselves by
such folly. The richest and most pros
porous empire in the world is that which
has least legislation respecting commerce
and manufactures. Our own period of
greatest development has not arrived
yet, because we have always chosen to
smother our natural tendencies with a
tariff. When we wake up out of our folly
we will really begin to forge ahead. and
then we will have no trouble with our
frnsfs
