and his constituents by seeking to drive
the administration from the false and
dangerous position which 1t now occu-
pies. He is the man to do that work. He
has never concealed his contempt for Nc
Kinley and for the grour of adventures
whose dupe and tool the man in the
White house is now universally recog
niZed as being. He has it in his power
to MAKE inirite difficulty for Platt and
the Others who have already mortgaged
the Republican presidential nomination
to Mckinley. He will be thu bull in the
imperialist china shop, and is bound in
that character to make very small pieces
of the impertahst crockcry.
Since Thomas B. Reed is responsible,
more than any one man IN the country,
for the prominence which placed Mc1Iin-
ley on the path to the White house, in
having made him chairman of the COM
mittee on ways and means which evolved
the Mckinley tariff law, it would seem
to be quite appropriate that he should
make amends to the country by showing
how poor specimen of craftsmanship
is he who wears Mark Hanra's collar
with such becoming grace.
The Saint Paul globe. (St. Paul, Minn.) 1896-1905, 1899-08-19
THE UNsPEAKARLE RsED

Thomas B. Reed still remains a huge
thorn fastened securely in the side of
the administration. He has returned
from his European trip, and still persists
in his scornful refusal TO say a single
word regarding his political plans He
has not given his resignation of his pres
ent seat in congress. His failure to enter
into the speakership contest has been
construed by the fmperialist crowd as
involving his retirement from the incorn-
ing congress.
Had Mr. Reed not made quite plain his
contempt for those who are now charged
with running the executive end of the
national government, or were he not
known to be an unqualified opponent of
Imperialism in all its bearings, and of
the imperialist coterie in all it's plans,
his future course would be a matter of
but trif1ing Importance to them. But
there is danger lurking in his huge bulk,
and the gravity of that danger is made
plain every day by the puny efforts of
the imperialist journalists, great and
small, to satisfy the world that Mr.. Reed
has retired for good from the political
arena
Here is the danger, as we understand
it; If the big man takes his seat on the
floor of the house next December, he will
be no more than any ordinary congress-
man in his Obligations toward the admin
istration. He will not sit silent. and he
will not dance to the imperialist music.
His obligations will be confined to his
immediate constituency. If he assumes
an attitude of hostility toward the Phil
ippine policy he will work sad havoc
with that policy, and he will, moreover.
bring around him all the dissatisfied ele-
ments of the party in power, and make
an uncomfortable quarter of an hour for
the man IN the White house and his i'm
mediate advisers.
While Reed occupied the speakers seat.
being the second officer of the federal
government, he was morally called on to
avoid assuming an attitude of outspoken
opposition. Relieved of his obliga-
tons in this behalf, it is easy
TO understand that he can dis
charge his duty to both his party

A READY-MADE PLANK.
The Republican Pnrty's Record ON
Trusts Already Made Up.

The Republican Pnrty's Record ON
Trusts Already Made Up.
New York World
The Republican record on trusts Is al
ready made up. The plank has been saw
ed, planed, mortised and fitted for their
platform The plan of their managers,
as disclosed by the World, to anticipate
the Democratic convention in "denOun-
cling trusts" is rendered futile by these
facts:
1. 1t is a Republican tariff averaging
81 per cent? which has promoted and now
protects the most perVaSiVe and powerful
organization of trusts that this or any
other country has ever known.
2 1t is a Republican attorney general
who wrote on March 20, in reply to an
appeal from a citizen of Philadelphia to
enforce the federal antitrust laws, that
IF amenable to any law the trusts are
amenable to the laws of the respective
states" and added: 81 would be super
officiOus to attempt a crusade against af-
fairs with which I have no business
3. 1t is under a Republican administra-
ton that industrial trusts have so enOr-
mously increased that the Financial
Chronicle estimates the output of their
securities" for this year alone at $780,
000,0 900. They cover pretty nearly the
whole field of industrial activity and
have raised prices, closed mills and man
ufactorles, regulated production" and
restrained trade at will without attempt
at interference by the federal department
Of justice.
If this is not a record to which the Re
publican convention will be disposed to
point with pride" as indicating the atti-
tude Of its party toward trusts. it is a
record which can neither be hidden nor
impeached. 1t is made up of facts which
speak louder than words as to the in
fuences and forces which control the Re
publican party. To "denounce trusts" in
view of this record, would simply be to
add impudence to insincerity.

President Mckinley IS in many respects
a prudent and thoughtful man with an
eye ever to the main chance. He has had
reason to take his own measure with
some accuracy since his installment in
the White house. He knows that the
office he occupies is a big one and that
it requires a big man to fill it.
AS there was once a bigger man than
Old Grant, so the president evidently
realizes that there may be a bigger man
than he even with his presidential ap-
pendage
And so William Mckinley, president of
the United States and first citizen of the
republic, decides that he will not attend
the reception of Admiral Dewey at New
York As a thoughtful imperiaIist CORE
spOndent puts it, president Mckinley
thinks it best to wait until Dewey visits
Washington before meeting him" Wise
man, Mr.. Mckinley 1t is truly best
for YOU Even accompanied by Mark
HANNA and Tom Platt and with the halo
of the presidency surrounding the trio,
the inevitable contrast would be too
great
There yyir be comparatively nobody
around when the admiral visits the White
house, and so there will be no uncompli-
mentary remarks possible. There will be
no particular excitement prevailing, and
the president WILL of course, be on his
native heather, and will show off to moro
advantage than he might lost in the
wilderness of national enthusiasm for the
hero of Manila bay.
Wisdom has come in timely fashion to
Mr.. Mckinley. The project mooted last
winter by the imperialist coterie that the
president should swing around the circle
in the company of the admiral has been
abandoned; which is another very salts
factory proof of the abiding prudence
and good sense of the gentleman at the
White house.

STEEL IS SCARCE.

No one can question the fact that pay

houses have been in August $50 per cent
larger than in 1897 for the month thus far,
and outside New York $50 per cent No
better test Of the volume of business is
known, but there IS a growing handicap
in the advance Of prices. How long and
how far this advance can go without re-
action is the problem which level headed
business men are studying Evidences Of
checked consumption are rare, but it
would be childish to hope that at some
point high prices would not hinder buy
ing.
In iron the question Is Of steal b,1lets
