ANTITRUST PROPOSALS.
Government Ownership and Free Trade
the Leading Features.

Governments Ownership and Free Trade
the Leading Features.
The National Antitrust Conference at
Chicago adopted long address to the
public, in which the people are urged to
organize to deprive trusts of their power.
1t declares that the conference is not
making war on business combinations to
reduce cost and augment productive eff
cheney. 1t charges that oppressive trusts
hamper the production of wealth. The
Standard Oil, the Meat, the Anthracite
Coal, the Sugar, the Paper and the Steel
trusts are denounced by name. 1t charges
that Banking trust is threatened, which
would dictate the volume of paper money
and reduce all bankers to servants OF
itself. 1t declares that the tendency is
toward a few great trusts which would
become absolute masters of the American
people. 1t declares that the only remedy
is the abolition of legalizeG privileges of
every kind, and especially those created
by tariffs, by the granting of the money
issuing function to private corporations
and by private ownership of railroad and
telegraph lines.
The address holds that no one can OBJ
ject to the abolition of tariffs which fos-
er trusts. 1t declares that the trust mag
mates control the banks, and. with con-
troll of the volume of the circulating me-
dium they would absolutely dominate the
commercial life of the nation. 1t holds
that the telegraph is a natural adjunct
of the postoffice, but in private hands it
has worked vast evil. Ii declares that
private ownership of railroads has fur
nished the basis of nearly every great
commercial trust with which the people
to-day are cursed. The coal trust is vi
talized by railway privileges; the oil trust
could not have acquired it's power with
out them; the beef trusts and the grain
elevator trust depend upon them; they
make the steel trust flourish, and from
express combinations down to newspaper
agencies, from hack rights at depots to
freight determinations host of minor
trusts suck in all the vitality they have
as monopolies from railway privileges.
The conference adopted the following
resolution introduced by Congressman
Sulzer:
Resolved, That the members of the
Antitrust League shall give practical
effect to their antagon.sm to trusts by re.
fusing to purchase, so far as practicable,
any goods made and controlled by trust,
and shall employ the weapon of ostracism
against those who support with coercion
and violence the monopolies which OPP

KIMBERLEY is SAFE.
RELIEF AT LAST ARRIVES FOH
BESlEGED TOWN.
General French, with Artillery, Cav
airy and Mounted Infantry, Lifts the
Siege March Was Accomplished in a

London was electrified Friday by the
announcement from the war office that
Gen. French with his mounted force had
entered Kimberley. 1t IS reported he met
with no opposition. The news of the re-
lief of Kimberley was received with re-
loicings and is regarded as the turning
of the tide. The report that Gen. CronJe
did not contest Gen. French's advance
causes great surprise.
The news of the relief of Kimberley
came to London like a ray of sunshine out
of dark cloud. Public rejoicings were
widespread and mrestrained Lord Rob
erts was praised to The skies. The relief
of the besieged city is due, in the public
mind, TO his brilliant strategy. Kitchener
and French are forgotten, as it is believed
the former organized the forces and
French, the cavalry leader, executed
Roberts plan of holiness and dash.
The movement began on Monday, when
French swooped down on DekilsN Drift
and crossed the Kiet river. Tuesday he
continued his dash and moved his forces
twenty-five miles in little over six hours,
capturing three Boer laagers at Kip
Drift on the Modder river. The march
was accomplished during fierce sand
storm and while the heat was terrific.
That was the last heard of him until the
relief of Kimberley was announced Fri
day. 1t is figured that after brief rest
he pushed right on for Kimberley, reach
ing there in less than forty-eight hours
after his capture of Kip Drift.
The siege of Kimberley began on Oct.
"a, and about 1000 men under Col. Ike
kewich have defended the place with
bravery and skill. Many times the Beers
have attacked the place without definite
success. Gen. Cronje commanded the be-
siegers. Reports from Kimberley at va
rious times have told of the sufferings
Of the garrison and the people cooped up
there, but III the face of this the city
held up stubbornly for the relief which
has at last come.
Cecil Rhodes was cooped up in Kimber-
ley, and the desperate efforts of the Beers
to capture the place were prompted, in a
large degree, by their desire to take as
prisoner the man whom they hold respon-
sible for the whole trouble in South At
RIGA. President Kruger had special hat
red for Rhodes, whom he denominates
1.-THE butcher" and it has been declared
that if the diamond king were captured
a ransom price Of 92,000,000 would be
placed on the great financier. And so the
Boer lines have been drawn tightly and
strongly about the town, which Col.
Plumerhas held with great difficulty and
under frequent and harassing lombard
rnanfc

pany, which are worth three times that
sum when based on the offers that have
been made the steel company by pros
pective purchasers. According to Tricks
story a London syndicate wanted to pur-
chase the plant for $3.50, 100000 in May,
1899, and paid Carnegie 81, 10000, which
amount is still in the iron kings posses
sion as a bonus for a ninety days option
on Carnegie's 5S1a per cent interest in
the concern. This interest Carnegie val
ued at $157 ,950,000 On this basis the
plaintiff figures that his 6 per cent inter-
est is worth the sum he has prayed for.
Carnegie, it is alleged, forced Frick
out of the management of the steel COM
pany for personal reasons. According to
the latter's story the Immense profits Of
the company are largely the result of his
efficient fnanciering. He asks that the
court appoint receiver for the steel
works, that the debts be paid and the
surplus distributed among the partners,
large and small.
Frick says that if Carnegie is permitted
to manage the business loss will result.

PASSAGE or THE MONEY Sill.
How the Senate Measure Com pares with
One Passed by the House.


One Passed by the House.
The national Senate has passed the
money bill recommended by a committee
of Republican Senators. The measure in
its general purpose is similar to tie bill
passed earlier in the session by the
House. The most striking difference is
the refunding plan of the Senate bill,
which was not part of the House meas
ure. The main aims of both bills are to
establish the gold standard by law and
to prevent the utilization of the green
backs to drain the treasury of gold Mr..
Chandler Of New Hampshire was the
only Republican Senator who voted
against the measure, and on the Demo
cratic side only Messrs. Lindsay of Ken
tucky and Caffrey of Louisiana support
ed the passage of the measure. During
the months debate most of the promi-
nent Senators have made their positions
plain.
There are differences between the Ben
ate and House bills which will require
the appointment Of conference commit
tee of the two houses to perfect the meas
ure. The understanding is that the
House will accept most if not all, the
changes made by the Senate, and that the
bill will become law in practically the
same shape as it passed the Senate.
The House bill provides for reserve
fund, the holding of an amount of gold
coin and bullion equal to % per cent of
the amount both of United States and
treasury notes issued under the act of
1890 outstanding. The Senate bill makes
the reserve $3.50, 100000 in gold coin. The
Senate also changed the sections relating
to banks, bonds and funding and added a
new section declaring that it was not the
purpose of the act to place any obstacles
in the way of the accomplishment of in
ternational bimetallism.
The chief provisions of the Senate
financial bill are;
That the dollar. consisting of 25.S
grains of gold, nine-tenths fine, shall con-
tinue to be the standard unit Of value.
That the Secretary of the Treasury
shall set apart a reserve fund of $780,
100000 in gold coin for redemption pur-
poses only.
That the Secretary of the Treasury
shall refund outstanding bonds and issue
in exchange coupon or registered bonds
at per cent per annum, payable quar-
terly.
That as fast as silver dollars shall be
coined an equal amount of treasury notes
shall be retired and Cancelled, and silver
certificates shall be issued against the sill
yer dollars.
That the Secretary of the Treasury
shall receive deposits of gold coin and
issue gold certificates therefor.
That no treasury notes shall be issued
of denominations less than SO and no sill
yer certificates of higher denomination
than $40.
That national banks depositing bonds
shall be entitled to receive circulating
notes of equal value.
That banks shall pay to the Treasurer
of the United States in January and JulS
a tax of onefourth of ! per cent on CIR
crlatinp noteS
