..rHE MOTHER OLE TRUSTS


The evidence Of Mr.. Henry Havemeyer
before the industrial commission has the
distinct merit Of stating vital although
entirely unwelcome truth. When Mr..
Havemeyer says that the so-called pro-
tective tariff is the mother of all trusts
he states a fact which has of late come
home with uncommon force to thou
sands of citizens of the United States,
who in the past were disposed to speak
in palliation of this evil
The trust system is the product of the
system of legal favoritism which has
been maintained through our tariff in
the interest of certain special industries.
There is no thoughtful citizen, whatever
his views may shave been in the past,
that does not now recognize that the
giant industrial and social evil which be-
sets this country had its origin and in
centive in the iniquitous tariff system es-
tablished by the Republican party.
Mr.. Havemeyer makes no secret that
he testiffes from the standpoint of his
own interest Even so speaking, he
makes it clear that the tariff is mere
agency of discrimination whereby one
merchant or manufacturer is given spe-
cial advantages over another, whose in
fiuence is not equally strong with those
engaged in conducting our aational con-
Germs.

their home markets against virtually
any competition whatever. 1t will, in
deed, need to be a drastic system of leg
islation which will be able to put an end
to the trust evil as long as this iniqui-
tous system of legal discrimination con-
tinues to exist
1t matters not whose OK is gored,
whether Mr.. Havemeyer's or Mr..
Spreckles'; the truth which Mr.. Have
meyer mentions in his testimony is none
the less indisputabIe. That is that the
discrimination on which the entire sys-
tenn Of tariff legislation is built I'D lies
at the bottom of the trust conspiracy.
and will continue to furnish for that
evil at once an apology and an inspira-
ton. Until the imperialist administra-
ton. or the party which it represents. is
ready to equalize the burdens which it
maintains on the industries and re-
sources of the American people through
their tariff legislation it is the merest
false pretense for either to profess any
purpose to relieve the country of the
trust conspiracy.

SETTLES NOTHING

The result of the contest between the
Yankee and Dominion on Lake st. Louis
cannot. of course, be taken as furnish
ing any test of the true merits of the
two yachts. The condition rendered
anything like "a real contest of speed
impossible. The accidental circumstance
of one of the yachts securing at long in
tervals a puff of wind more or less than
its opponent secured will readily explain
the difference in time between the two
vessels in covering the course.
Upland yachting has not been carried
to any degree of perfection among us
Considering the great interest which is
shown from time to time in the sport of
ocean racing, ii is surprising that. at
least on our great inland seas, there has
nol been revival of a sport which is a
prime test at once of seamanshfp and
ship-building skill. If there ever should
come about such a revival of interest in
the sport as might call into play the skill
ard ingenuity of the people of this sec
ton in the fashioning and handling of
craft such as those which contended on
Lake st. Louis yesterday, there are a
few of US who believe that the result
would not differ essentially from what

1t has been at any time In the past,
either in peace or in war.
1t will be gratifying If the courtesies
and hospitality bestowed on our yachts
men by their hosts at Montreal shall be
followed at some future time by suffi-
cient test being made between the Yam
kee and her successful competitor in
stiff breeze and good sea in the waters
either of the United States or Canada.
The contest has been won by the Cana
dian vessel, and there can be no DISPOSE
ton in the slightest to minimize the
credit Of the victory. But without doubt
it would be more satisfactory all around
if such a contest could be witnessed as
would make an effective test of the rela-
tive qualities of Canadian and American
boats of this general class. The people
of st. Paul will be glad to welcome the
Canadian yachtsmen to such a contest
at any time or under any conditions as
will be mutually acceptable. Indeed,
Just at this time it is very desirable from
every point of view that everything
should be done by both peoples to
strengthen the feeling of neighborliness
which just at this time seems to be some
what strained.

ST. PAUL'S PART.

Even from amidst the scenes of sorrow
and desolation with which we have all
been familiar during the past twenty
four hours, there is some slight measure
of encouragement to be secured.
Everywhere within the fated village
men and women struggled bravely to
bring something of ease, of the lessening
Of pain and distress, to those who had
survived the sad catastrophe. And out
from the big world of strangers came
pouring the good Samaritans of profess
sional and business life, seeking only an
opportunity to do some good.
In this sad crisis, as in the awful holo-
caust of Hinckley, st Paul has FASTENED

Thanks to the timely aid Of the st. Paul

among the first nurses VINO appeared on
the scene were those coming from St.
Paul. The railroad officials of st. Paul

occurrence, sent as fast as the resources
of their vast concerns would enable them

the work of relief has set in all the re-

gladly placed at the disposal of the suf-
ferers.
There is not a citizen of st. Paul that
does not wish that our resources were
| a hundred-fold what they are in order
that these stricken people should receive
the benefit of them. What we have we
have placed at their disposal, and the
community has sought as far as it has
been in its power to relieve the distress
and pain which prevailed in such terrible
abundance even at our very door.
The most urgent demands of the sit
uation have now been met and the album
dant resources which stand ready TO sup
plement all that st. Paul has done will
find no such urgent demand as existed
at the outset. But in the direction of
money contributions the well-to-do and
charitable everywhere will, we hope, re-
fleet that of that community of 1000
souls there is not one left but came out

If those of our people who have will give.

been done that be done to relieve
the sorrows which have so bitterly assail-.

GUNS GIVEN AGUINALDO.
They Are Turned Upon Americans
With Deadly Effect

CHICAGO, June -14-Maj Gen. Ander-
son, commanding the department of the
lakes, was mustered out Of the volunteer
service today and assumed the rank of
brigadier general which he held before
the opening of the war with Spain.
According to Gen. Anderson, command
ing the department of he lakes, the
heavy losses of the American troops in
the recent engagements with the Filipfnos
at Las Pinas and Bacoor, south of Ma
Mia, were caused by the artillery which
Admiral Dewey presented to Aguinaldo
last winter. The batteries in gu estion
Gen. Anderson says, are being operated
by Spanish prisoners, who have been re-
leased by Aguinaldo with the understand
ing that they enlist in the insurgent
army. Gen. Anderson took the first de-
tachment of troops to the Philippines last
fall and was a prominent figure in the
first negotiations between this country
and the Filipino government.
When Admiral Dewey captured Ca
vite'' said Gen. Anderson, che took pos
session of a lot Of artillery, and later
presented it to Aguinaldo. The insur-
gents removed the field pieces to Las
Pinas and adjacent points, and have kept
them there ever since. 1t is these can
non that are now being used by the in
surgents against our troops with such
terrible effect in the province south of
Manila. Spaniards are operating the
guns, are trained experts in the handling
of field pieces, and are evidently using
their knowledge with deadly effect on our
troops. The native Filipino knows moth
ing of the proper handling of artillery.
After the first skirmish we had with the
insurgents last fall l strongly advised
that Aguinaldo and his men be driven
from the province south of Manila as
they might cause trouble later if permit
ted to retain their position. The weather
was favorable to prompt action along
this line at that time, and the rebels
could have been driven back into the
country without diculty. Gen. Otis did
not see fit to follow my advice, however,
and the insurgents have been there ever
since, building entertainments and pre-
Darine for attack {"

NECEssARY PRECAUTIONS.

The awful suddenness with which that
tornado descended on New Richmond will
scarcely find a parallel. In every other
case of a tornado attended by fatal re-
suits, at least in this vicinity when the
visitation did not come at night, there
was ample opportunity to reach places of
safety, if such places were available.

has been wrought during the past three
or four weeks in Western states through
this same agency there was little or no
insurance. Fire Insurance will, of course,
not cover such casualties. In few
cases where fire broke out in the ruins
of New Richmond it may be possible to
recover; but even that is doubtful
Every really thoughtful and prudent
person living in any outlying district in
any of the states in which the tornado
occurs ought to provide his home with a
cyclone cellar and ought to protect his
property by placing on it some reason-
able amount of insurance in company

LONDON, June 1.-THE principal lit

Randolph Churchill's new magazine,
the Anglo-Saxon Review to be issued
within the next ten days, will be paper
by Mr. Whitelaw Reid, editor of the New
York Tribune, discussing the advances
in international law and the changes in
national policy resulting from the treaty
of Paris, 1899, which he helped to ne
gotiate.
The most important point in Mr.. Reid g
paper is that the 900 paid to Spain
upon the cession of the Philippines to the
United Staets was not in the remotest
degree intended as compensation for the
islands, which were taken, the writer as
serts because the Americans had a right
to them as indemnity, if not for con-
quest. and that he money was paid solely
in recognition of the principle that debts
attaching to territory and incurred for
its benefit should be transferred with its
sovereignty.
