oEaIaIE TIiAr q e. -.

In the few remarks which VS.
shall proceed to make il is possi-
BE that we may be guilty Of ar
objectionable SIN, but we have Sc
often been accused Of transgres :
sing in this way that another sun
pardonablen is neither here nor
there. Society, exclusive Of its
religious aspects, recognizes two
kinds of crime, one against NOR
ais the other against law, and SO
it happens that one may commit a
moral offcnse without violating
any established law and, on the
other hand, one may break the
law without the commission of Il
moral crime. We should like to
have this kept clearly in mind,
+.
because it is our purpose TO re-
cite a case wherein the law has
been broken but which at the
same time discloses no moral tur-
pitnde in the culprit. Our immed-
late concern is with military law,
and to a clear understanding Of
The present discussion, it IS neces-
sary only to state that an inferior
officer is strictly forbidden to
speak disrcspectfully Of a supe-
rior officer in the presence Of en-
listed men. Consequently, if a
lieutenant, in the presence Of his
men, should allude to the major
as a scoundrel or a coward. that
would be a violation Of law in
Volving severe punishment. The
fact that the major was a scoun-
drei or a coward, or both scoun-
drf and coward, would make no
The fact that the ma
ior was notorioualy guilty and
that the lieutenant had ample
proof Of it, would not effect the
case one particle. The law is
that a lieutenant must not speak
iisrespcctfully Of major, in the
presence Of enlisted men. So
lere Is 4 case in point, where it
$ possible to violate the law with
mi the commission of moral
srlme. OF course, there is a re-
inement Of moral criminality in
very breeeh of established law, |
'ut these are the things more
IGNORED in the breech than the
observance. In general, lieu
enant who would publicly, in
he presence Of enlisted men or
ny other kind, charge a major
With being a coward, whom he
new to be coward-in general,
We say-that lieutenant would be
pplauded. And if through the
owardice Of that major, the lieu
enant and his men had been hui
Inflated and disgraced from a
Military standpoint, then, morally,
ne lieutenant would be very
luch justified, just as the brother
Tho shoots down the ravisher Of
is sister is justified. For the
of further illustrating the
object in hand, let US suppose
nat about a year ago war broke
ut between the United States
nd Spain, OF course war didn't
reak out, but a foot race did, but
t US suppose it was war. Then |
t US suppose that regiment Of
olunteers was raised in Idaho,
I'd in order to 'fx things polit- {
ally, the governor appointed a J
srtain man major. Then let US $
oppose that this Idaho regiment {
as sent to some far eastern is /
nds, and that presently they be- t
Ime engaged in actual hostilities t

ere was real shooting and kill (

MORE AsoUT TRUSTS.

MORE ABOUT TRUSTS.
a few weeks ago TIE TRlB-
UNE presented some views going
TO show that trusts were not pc
cnliar to the United States, nol
necessary coacon1itants Of our
present protective tariff policy.
In proof we presented a state
nent of the conditions which pre-
vail in free trade England. We
also said
There is probably a reason for
the 9ta31t2Hat e{}ltgt in trust forma
tion In this country to be found i'm
the excessively low prices superin-
duced by the policy OF Den0cTacy
under The reign Of GFGyer the fat.
Prices went SO low that mauufac-
tuners l0resaw that continuation
meant absolute bankruptcy. They
began to seek for methods of re-
tToBcGment. Combination proyid-
ed the means, aud they went at it
vigorously. Probably they over
did tie business and possibly much
harm will result, but it must al
ways be remembered that the root
Of the evil, If evil 1t be, is in the
7lutge Of man.
To this our esteemed contem-
porary, the idaho Worza, demurs,
saying, "FHE TRIBUNE sought to
throw all responsibility for the
formation of trusts on poor old
Grover Cleveland" And after
making us seek to do something
we never had the remotest idea
Of wishing to do, nor ever at
tempted to do and specifically did
not do, the Horld proceeds to
criticise our logic upon the as
sumption that we did do what we
dld not. We did not attach all
the responsibility for the forma-
ton Of trusts on Grover Cleve-
land or anybody else We sim
ply said there is probably a reas-
on for the anusnal sburt in trust
formation in this country to be
fouad in the excessively low
prices superinduccd by the policy
Of Democracy. We still believe
that IS true, because we believe
that the sole object Of such or
CARNATIONS is TO raise prices OF
neutralize the effects Of ruinously
low prices. Right here, we may
remark what we take to be a
radical difference Of belief be-
tween the Wor1a and THE TR1B-
UNE. We believe that trusts are
Of two kinds, good and bad. The
t50yla, possibly, thinks they are
all bad. That, however, need
net be discussed Our contention
At present is that trusts are a nat
lral product Of excessively low
prices This we believe to be
rue in respect of labor as well as
capital. Capital has discovered,
he same as labor has done, that
prices once fallen are very diff
,ult TO raise, and indeed it is
more practicable to neutralize the
fleets Of low prices than to ele-
,ate them, and very often it may
'e altogether better to do SO.
Let US make one example. In
Massachusetts, there are twenty
af8e establishments engaged in
he manufacture of boots and
hoes. BY natural process Of
competition the prices of boots
nd shoes have been run down to
very close margin of profit, A ,
business and industrial |
epression sweeps over the coun-
y, and prices go below the $
ONT Of profitable manufacture.
hen comes a revival; organized ]
Dor clamors for increased wages; {
lstomers demand a maintenance
low prices. The strife be- 5
2mes fierce and the freezing ont i
recess begins. For the express i
lrpose of facilitating this proc S
