Let the War Against Trusts Go On.

Now and then it happens that the
Trust receives a body blow-not hard
enough, it is true, to knock it out, but
of sufficient force to halt it's progress.
Cincinnati has just administered a re-
buke to the coal trust, and a Chicago
judge has interfered and given a stock
holder the right to get at the books
of a trust in which, in a conflding mo-
ment, he invested some capital.
Here are the coal companies which
have combined to put up and keep UP
the price of one of the greatest neces-
saries Of life. and which have been in
dicted by a Cincinnati jury:
St. Clair company, West Virginia.
Chesapeake & Ohio Fuel company,
Big Black Band Coal company.
Charlmoore Coal company
Great Kanawha Coal company.
Chesapeake Mining company
Kanawha Splint Coal company
Robinson Coal company.
Coalberg Collier company.
Lenz Creek Coal company.
These companies are charged with
violating the Sherman antitrust law.
Now. let US see whether there is any
virtue or justice In Ohio. the home of
the father of this famous law.
A Chicago citizen demanded informa-
ton from the records Of the Rodger
Ballast Car company. 1t was refused.
| He threatened mandamus proceedings.
The trusts representatives placed an
injunction upon his movements. Judge
Tuley dissolved the injunction yester-
day and used this language in so do
ing:
In these days of gigantic combinations.
corporations in the shape OF trusts for the
purpose Of secretly carrying on and exercis
ing franchises granted by state governments
and this IN defiance Of prohtbitory statutes
The Saint Paul globe., 1899-02-12


IT Is OF the utmost importance that this right
OF stockholder to examine the workings
ana mehods of such combinations be given a
liberal construction. as il not his only. it is
tne greatest safeguard which the law pro-
Tioes against mismanagement or treachery ON
the part OF those In control
That political party which dedicates
itself to the cause Of the people. by
making a downright issue of the
trusts, has q platform on which all
honest men can stand and q cause that
Will enlist the, support of the poor in
every state Of the Union.
Herein is food for thought for the
leaders Of the Minnesota Democracy
Are any Of them SO tangled up in the
coils OF the dsvilffsh that they hesitate
to make the fight against the Trusts? If
so they should step down and out and
give place to bolder leaders.
Down with the Trusts.

About the Weather:

Mean is the word to apply to an average
temperature of % degrees below zero for
twenty-four hours. only the public and the
weather bureau DO not use it in the same
sense. But nothing is SO bad that 1t might
rot be made worse. and last evening it was
not so cold as 1t was the night before At Z
o'clock last night the thermometer was indi-
eating minus IA. and at 10 o'clock was down
to Is below. At midnight the mark was 20
below. and at o'clock this morning the
gentle breezes from Canada had forced the
temperature down to 90 below, the coolest for
the night. The suspicion that Calgary and
the coal trust have formed an offensive and
defensive alliance has not yet been confirmed.

Lead Miners VS.. SmeIters.

An interesting struggle is going on
between the lead mine owners Of this
country and the smelters regarding q
proposition by the latter to abolish the
duty on lead ores imported from Brit
ish Columbia. The American mine
owners want the duty retained, the
srnelters want 1t abolished and the par
ties to the dispute are now measuring
their strength in the councils of the
Americana commission.
The mine owners argue that lead
mining in this country is an infant In
dustry which should be fostered by q
tariff; the smelters argue that the quail
ity Of lead found in British Columbia
is CT kind necessary for use in smelt-
Ing the American product, and that a
duty upon it works to the disadvant-
age Of American interests. They argue
that instead of benefiting Ameri-
can interests duty on lead
tends to injure them for 1t encour-
ages smelters to set up their furnaces
In British Columbia aud to keep that
branch of industry on the northern side
Of the border The mine owners on
the other hand assert that if the duty
is abolished it will bring American
miners in direct competition with
Canadians who are paid lower wages
and that therefore the American work
men will be injuriously affected there
by.
There is not enough lead ore produc-
ed In this country to supply the de-
mands and smelters have found the
British Columbian ore excellent fluxes
II required to rely upon the american
product entirely the smelters say they
would not be able to turn out as good
a material as they can do by using
the British Columbian ores. AS to
wages, the Canadian workmen receive
about the same as the American min
ers. and the smelters say that ques-
tion is not worthy Of consideration.
The present duty on lead ores is one
and one-half cent per pound on the
pure article. Under the liberal Wilson
tariff there was duty imposed on lead
of three-quarters Of a cent per pound
The total importations Of lead into
the United States In 1897. the latest
year for which statistics are available,
was 1882 tons, which paid a duty Of
| $245, ,9S2.54. OF this ore three-quarters
came from Mexico and one-sixth from
British Columbia.
Lead Is a raw material Of industry,
and why it should be singled out from
others Of its class for taxation is clearer
to the mine owners than to others. The
lead mining interest has always been
strong enough to impose a duty, and
il IS now to be seen whether its in
fuence is still potent. or whether the
smelters are sufficiently powerful to
abolish the duty on British Columbian
ores.

And know no fear or pause.
What though your hands be bloody.

The ports ye wish to enter,
The roads ye wish to tread.
Make them with heather living.

Take up the sword and rifle,
Rob every savage race,
Annex their lands and harbors.
For this is Christian grace.

And l softly told her so;
Across her pretty face smile
Went ripping to and fro.
And then along her rounded cheek
The white and red played tag;

WASHINGTON, Feb. 11.-While the cold
wave contipues generally east of the Rocky
mountains, except in Florida, 1t has leen
characterized by remarkably low tempera-
ture in the vicinity OF Washington and a
further fall in the Caroinas. In the latter
districts the mlnimums were from degrees
to 20 degrees below the freezing point, while
at Washington this morning the minimum
temperature was 10 degrees be,ow zero, one
degree lower than the lowest previous record
on Jan. l. 1881. The mean for the past three
days has been one degree below zero, much
the coldest three-day period ever experienced
here. In the Mississippi vaEeS. there has been
another fall from to 10 degrees, except IN
the central portion, and the temperatures
range from degrees to IA degrees below zero
fall since last night Of from to 16 degrees.
In the lower Missouri valley. middle s,cps
and the Southwest the temperatures have fall
len from 10 degrees to 40 degrees but the
zero line extends to the northern border Of
IeXas and there was severe norther from
Nebraska and Colorado southwark, warnings
for which were issued Friday and Friday
night. On the West Gulf coast temperatures
are again from degrees to degrees below
the freezing point. while in the West and
Northwest they are from IS to 80 degrees be-
low zero At Havre. Mont. this morning the
temperature was 40 degrees below, while from
the lower Missouri valley southwestward into
Northern and Northeastern Texas the tenn
peratures tonight are from to II degrees be-
low any previous record for the second de,
cade of February
A remarkable feature of this cold wave has
been the abnormally high pressure of the
and northwestward the barometer has read
81 inches or over. with a maximum reading
this morning of 91.42 inches in Southern As
sinaboia.
Shows have been general from Colorado
and Wyoming eastward to the Atlantic and
SHOWS and rains in the South and South
west. In the plateau and Pacific coast re-
gions fair weather has continued, with
slight changes in temperature. Snow is in
dicated for the Atlantic states far South as
South Carolina and rain in Florida It will
probably clear in the gulf states; elsewhere
generally fair weather will prevail except
in Western New York.
The cold weather will continue and there
will be a decided fall in temperature on the
gull, coast, with freezing weather. In the
north third Of Florida freezing weather is
probable Sunday night. and advisory mes
sages to this effect have been issued In
the extreme Northwest some moderation of
the extremely cold weather is probable
In the Atlantic states brisk northerly winds
will prevail.
Cold wave signals are displayed on the
gulf coast from Pensacola to Brownsville
and at Meridian and Montgomery, and storm
northeast signals on the gulf coast from
New Orleans to Brownsville
