CURRENT COMMENT.
A FEW POINTS.


New York Journal.
The President of the United States will
have much to occupy his mind in the short
interval before the opening of the Fifty
sixth Congress.
His annual message will require more
than usual thought and circumspection.
In many of its features he may pour forth
his soul with the rhythm and tiuency that
pertain to patter song.
He may dwell upon the general prospect
ty of the country, the increased crops, the
blessings of peace and our increased i'm
portance in the eyes of the word.
All this will be easy.
When, however, he touches upon the
Philippines he will begin to strike snags.
Somewhere in the message there is sure to
be reference to the splendid victories of
"our brave soldier boys" But something
more will be needed. How will these sug-
gestions do?
Explain the mastery tactics of Otis, and
tell how much more glorious it is to take
town six times than once.
Dwell upon the lives sacrificed from day
to day to uphold the General whom the
soldiers affectionately call the Old Granny
of Manila.
Tell of the suffering. ruin and starvation
of peaceful inhabitants through the failure
to occupy and hold seaports.
Describe the refusal of Otis to allow the
army to fight effectively, and tell of the
general futility of the war as now car
ried on.
Why should not the President indulge in
the luxury of little candor for once?

NUTTING AGAIN.

Chicago Record.
A crisp wind fitting the gold leaves down
From the whimpering beeehes giimmer-
ing heights;
The git sun tanning the walnuts brown
And rintng the woods with scarlet lights;
The metallic rasp of the squirrels call;
The bluejay's scream in the naples, then
A swish and a thud as the ripe nuts fall
And we laugh with glee of ''nutting
again.
Then it's over the hills when the day is
And the boar frost CLEANS on the way
side grass,
And the webs in the hazel dip with dew
And bar the path where the cattle pass.
The ways are wet to the eager feet
That romp in race to the nuttng
ground,
But the bypaths dry ere The nutters meet
are found.
Then it's over the hills when the daylight
And the heart is light from the happy
OF the burden that cheers while its glad
weight pains
Till the muscles thrill for the joy of rest.
So we watch the gold and the red grow
bright,
And echo the squirrels gay call. when
The boar frost CLEANS in the autumn light,
And we dream of the pleasure of nut
ting again..

THIS SETTLES Ir.

Senator George F. Hoar, as President
of the American Unitarian Association,
made this remark at the annual meet
ing of the body at Washington, last
week.
II believe in the American people. a free
and brave people who do not bow the neck
or bend the knee to any other, and who
desire none to bend the neck or bow the
knee to them believe that liberty, good
government, free institutions, cannot be
given by any one people TO each other,
but must be wrought cut fcr each by itself,
slowly, painfully. in the process of years
or centuries, as the oak adds ring to ring.
believe that a republic is greater than an
empire. I believe that the moral law and
the golden rule are for nations as well as
individuals. / believe that the north star,
abiding in its place. is a greater influence
in the universe than any comet or meteor.
| believe that the United States, when
William Mckinley was Inaugural ted, was
a greater world power than Rome in the
height Of her glory. or even England with
her four hundred million vassals.'
This righteous creed will doubtless
result in the political ex-communica-
ton of Mr.. Hoar, for he could not have
taken a broader issue with the admin
istration, while his parting fling at Nc
Kinley is delicious in its ingeniousness
and cutting in its yelled sarcasm.

THE WILSON TARIFF AND THE
TRUSTS.

Philadelphia Record.
General Henderson, of Iowa, the pros
pective Speaker of the House. challenges
the Democrats to point TO d single bill
which they have passed in Congress to
carry out their platform declarations
against the trusts After the passage of
the Sherman Antitrust act of 1890, which
the present administration confesses its
inability to enforce. the Democrats might
well have been excused from further ex-
periments in the same direction. But in
the Wilson tariff defective as it was in
some respects, the Democrats enacted a
measure which, had it been let alone,
would have done more to discourage the
trusts than all the other legislative dew
ices that could be invented to deal with
trade monopolies.
Under the tariff of 1894 it would not have
been possible for the Tinplate Trust, the
Nail Trust, the Glucose Trust and numer-
Gus other 1ourishing combinations in re-
straint of trade to despoil American con-
sumers, for the simple reason that every
attempt to raise prices would have been
met by liberal importations. The Wilson
tariff, with its reduction of the exorbitant
protective duties which were designed to
favor the trusts at the expense of the
American people, may be pointed to as
the Democratic answer to General Hen
derson's challenge.
Wheeling register. [volume] (Wheeling, W. Va.) 1878-1935, 1899-10-23
THE MASK is OFF.

Mark Hanna has at last done what all
expected him to do. sooner or later.
He has declared flat-footedly for the
trusts, and his declaration carries with
it a commitment of the Republican
party to the protection and perpetual
ton of these colossal enterprises for
private gain at the expense OF the
masses of the people.
At first Mr.. Hanna and those who
take their cues from him, did not wan
to talk about the trusts at all. They
would discuss the gold standard, pro-
lection, or anything else, but not the
trusts. Later Mr.. Hanna passed the
word around that the question of the
trusts was not political matter. but
a business question, purely and simply,
and should be eliminated from public
discussion. But now the mask is off.
for in his speech before the Fifth dis
trict club, at Cleveland, last Thursday
night, Hanna said, in effect, 1--WE are
for the trusts" and in doing so he
jumped clear off the Toledo platform
of his party, and is now prepared to
take care of his friends in the corpora
tions. The antitrust plank in that
platform was humbug from the start,
and Mr.. Hanna has shown his contempt
for it. The people now know exactly
where Boss Hanna and the party he
manages and speaks for stand. They
also know the Democratic position, and
will make a choice between the two
which will cause trust managers and
promoters some sleepless nights.
The Ohio Republican Convention of
June I'd, last, had this to say Of the
trusts
1--WE commend the action of the Seven
ty-third General Assembly of Ohio in pass
ing the stringent law now on our statute
books, prohibiting the organization OF
trusts and we denounce such unlawful
combinations as inimical to the interests
of the people.
1--WE Congratulate the people of the State
upon the fact that Republican Legisla-
ture enacted this law and we demand its
rigid enforcement
legislation as experience may determine
necessary to prevent the formation and
operation of such. Ubiquitous and danger
Gus combinations.
This is what Hanna now says Of the
trusts
They have the best men in the count "
at their head. We all believe in co-opera-
ton. believe in their organization"
The big boss has defined his position
at last.

ANuNmoRrHY MOTIVE.

If the published outline of the forth
coming message of the President be cor
rect, the portion devoted to consid-
Grafton of the Philippine question will
provoke deserved criticism and wide
spread protest, for the President ap-
pears to rest his case almost en-
tirely upon the alleged fact that
there is money in it In the first place,
that assertion cannot be proven, and in
the second, if it could, it would be a
most unworthy cause for hostilities
The Philippines have already cost us
more in cash than any possible reve-
nue. for the next generation or more
The Presidents train of thought in this
matter appears very English.

MCKINLEY AND DAY.
New York Evening Post.

New YORK Evening Post.
The President repea ed yesterday an as
sertion which he has made several times
before. that the Philippines came to us
party by virtue of conquest" AS he said
this near his odd home" it seems a pity
that he did not send for his old neighbor,
Judge Day, and try to harmonic their
views upon this subject. The latter states
man has recently declared in a letter that
the United States never claimed to have
any rights in the Philippines ''as a matter
of conquest But this conflict OF opinion
between jurists is only one sign more of
the rapidity with which we have got on
since Mr.. Day left the cabinet. He prob
ably was recalling the Presidents mes
sage to Congress. apropos of Dewey's vic
tory, in which he went out of his way to
rebuke greed of conquest" But imperial
appetites grow SO by what they feed upon
that the greed of May. 1895, seems only
like keeping Lent in October, 1893.

RE1UsNED TO THE ATrACK.

After the Boer defeat at Glencoe, last
week, there was any quantity of stuff
printed, from English sources, to the
effect that the forces of Dom Paul were
demoralized, and that it was doubtful
if they would again make a serious eff
fort in the field. The English authori-
ties sought to create the impression
that the defeat was crushing one,
that the enemy was totally demoralized,
etc., and much was made of the British
success generally.
So little did this reverse-if it was a
reverse-affect the Beers that they APP
pear to have returned to the at
tack on Glencoe again yesterday,
and also shelled Dundee, which adds to
the suspicion that perhaps the English
victory lacked some of the essential
elements of triumph. 1t will be re-
called that of the English cavalry and
mounted infantry detachments which
went in pursuit of the Beers, none
have since returned, and there is much
anxiety, as result, both in London and
at Cape Town.
The Boer side of the battle has yet to
be learned, but it is just possible that
their retreat under fire was a little
ruse, carried out in the hope of draw
ing some enthusiastic organizations of
the apparent victors after them. and
that the subsequent proceedings were
both bloody and to the advantage OF
the Beers. The renewed attack on
Glencoe gives strength to this theory,
at any rate.

viously published ii tina. Il discusses
moaopolies and combinations Of The
past as well ais those OF to-day. Mr..
Pierce shows that whenever and where
ever trade is restricted py unnatural
means. such as by royal or legislative
grant Of special privileges, there grow
up monopolies and combinations re-
sulting in unstable markets and un-
wholesome social conditions. Thus be-
fore England had free trade Parliament
was continually making inquiry as to
the causes OF the distress which pre-
vailed everywhere and particularly
when crops were bad. Since she
dropped protection" she has thrived
as never before and partly because she
can draw food supplies and raw mater
ials from any part of the earth, and If
her craftsmen have skill and enterprise
they can sell manufacture goods in any
competitive market. In other words
England puts no obstacles in the way
CT industry and trade and tells her sub
jects to do the rest The results
have proved this to be the best states
manship, and the fact that England,
to-day, has practically no trusts except
those that exist on merit alone, as do
department stores in this country, will
probably save her from the severe
panic and depression which will
result in the United States from the
high prices, limited production and I'M
employed labor of our present artificial
trust and monopoly period. We have
the natural opportunities and the abil-
ity and enterprise to compete with Eng
land in a free field; but unfortunately
our Statesmen" prefer to trust-treat
us as infants and to limit our field of
activity by so-called protection"
