Before the end of the National Ad-
ministration It will be covered with
the disgrace Of having permitted
more steals and more jobbery than
any that went before it. The men
Who nominated Mckinley at st. Louis
know what they were about. The
President, in whose power it is pre-
vent the steals and the jobbery,
cannot stand in the background and
expect the responsibility and the
odium to fall only on his appointees.
He must bear his share of it, and his
share is large one.

Take away from the trusts the pro-
lection Of the Dingley bill, give the
people purely revenue tariff and no
trust that is organized on false lines
can exist. With Democratic reve.
nue. tariff in operation no American
trust can control the home market
except by underselling all competi-
tors. And a Democratic revenue tariff
will be all the protection the people
win want, for it will permit natural
laws to govern the situation.

The extent to which combinations

and grown under the fostering care
Of the Republican tariff may well
cause alarm even for the stability of
our institutions. It has come to be
serious menace to the system on
which our government rests. No
people can stand the strain of pol

tal as the despot Of industry. This
is one Of the issues which the people
will face in the next general election.

At the present rate Of growth it will
not take more than two years to

Il must be confessed, whatever
may BE- thought Of our system OF
electing Senators in theory, that in
operation it is conspicuous failure.
10 electing other officers the people
meet in convention and name their
candidates, and they come together
ct the polls and settle who is to be
chosen. This is usually but q days
work il each case. In electing Sen.
ators the Legislatures quarrel over
the subject for weeks and months, "a
the detriment Of the legitimate bust.
ness Of legislation, and, it may be,
then leave the Office vacant. Itwould
seem that such . system cannot rea.
son bly, be continued.
