at all. 1t is a business question and
ought not to have been brought into
politics. When our industries were in
their infancy England and other coun-
tries came along and sold goods in this
country at less than the price asked in
their own. Then followed the pro-
tective tariff law formulated by that
friend Of the w~orkingman, VIM. Nc
Kinley. Having secured this protec-
ton, American manufacturers went
abroad. They are making rapid strides
and are successfully competing with
the whole world.
at is evident, however. that they
cannot continue to do so unless they
have combined capital. We ought to
own and control our own merchant YES
sells. We then would be in shape to
make our own rates and compete with
other nations IN an equal footing.
We now have reached the stage when
we are doing more exporting than i'm
porting. The last yea was the first
veal in the history of the country that
this was true. But We must look TO the
future. We must stand prepared for the
changes that are bound to come.
"This formation of combines is simply
an evolution in business methods.
Should railways own their W steam
shin lines there would be a marked
change in the rates. All this requires
capital and such a tremendous amount
that no ordinary corporation could
stand 1t.
THE so-called trusts are not new. They
have been found in England and Germany
as far pack as two hundred years, and are
increasing. Therefore. from a business
standpoint of view, the formation OF these
combinations, in one sense, Is one step
forward. The Democrats would have you
believe h they are terrible anacondas
that viii swallow US all up. However, Il
thu trusts are a menace to the country,
| what party better than the Republican can
give YOU relief? When it comes down 70

and always have. They are for the pur-
nose. / believe, of helping the individual

ployer should go hand in hand with the

DR.. Rutherford Harris, the secretary
Of the British South Africa company,

with Chamberlain, and the latter, after
some hesitation, was finally roped into
the conspiracy by a cablegram from
Rhodes stating that unless facilities
were given for the organization of JAM

Africa.
In the House Of Commons Philip

Mr.. Chamberlain will speak to-day.
His answer to Mr.. Stead is awaited with

ORANGE RIVER, October 1S.-(De-
layed in transmission. Afternoon
DAY at Spruitfontein, ten miles south
Of Kimberley. An armored train went
out to bring in a train reported to have
been captured by the Beers near the
| Spruitfontein siding. A party of Beers
who were encamped nearby lowered the
railway signal and displayed a white
flag, apparently with the idea of in
dueing the train to proceed. The driver
suspected that the Beers were in pos
| session and stopped the train, where
upon Beers issued in large force and
| opened fire, but without any effect.
The soldiers replied from the train
and about half a dozen Beers were
killed. The British were ~unscratehed.
Seven hundred Beers surprised a
party of thirteen Cape Colony police
who were guarding the railway at Riv-
erton Road, eighteen miles north of
Kimberley, on Sunday morning. The
| police retired. A terrific explosion was
| heard later and it is believed that the
Beers blew up the station.
A relief party of twenty-five police
sent from Kimberley met the Beers
near Riverton. The enemy displayed a
| white flag to induce the troops to fall
into their trap, but the police were or
dered to retire. Then the Beers opened
q heavy fire upon them, discharging
about 400 rounds. A bullet struck the
horse of Surgeon Major Sullivan, who,
with a trooper whose horse had Stun
bled and dismounted him, was cap
tured.
