THE ANTI-MPERIALIsT JOKE.

The claim department of the Ameri-
can Anti Imperialist League asserts
that this associated order of Adulla-
mites has an effective organization in
thirty eight states, Oklahama and the
District of Columbia. We may grant
the organization, but it is hard yet to
show that it understands the meaning
Of the word effective.
Apparently it relies on a dark Mach
iavellian policy, which i'll comports
with its pretension to superior sane
tity. 1t would support gold men in
Massachusetts and silver in Nevada.
1t would shout mo negro domination"
in the south and "a free ballot and a
fair count" In the north. But every
where it viii demand a pledge against
expansion as the price Of its powerful
influence.
This is certainly one Of the funniest
episodes that has ever occurred in
our politics. A pewee attempting to
WELD the thunders of Jove would not
present a more ludicrous spectacle.
For there is not a congressional dis
trict in the country where these self
styled anti-imperialists could cast a
determining vote Gold men and silver
men are alike independent Of them.
The issue which they consider to be the
chief issue Of the time simply adds
to the strength of the party which
they are trying to undermine.
We can see, for example, how 1t
might help the republicans materially
in the South. Many prominent South
ern democrats have already declared
themselves for expansion in the most
positive terms and in fiat defiance of
Mr.. Bryan. They have spread their
doctrine among the people, by whom
it has been received with enthusiasm
because the South realizes that It is
to be one of the chief bene6ciaries of a
policy which must give tremendous
impulse to its cotton trade.
1t is just in the condition, therefore,
in which 1t will be tempted to abandon

WHAT THE DINGLEY LAW is
DOING.


Not since the great antieipatory rush
that emptied the bonded warehouses
just before the passage Of 'he Dingley
bill have the customs receipts been as
heavy as during the January just
passed. The Inauguration OF President
Mckinley and the assembling OF con-
gress 20 provide sufficient rev nues for
the government had the effect shown
in the following table upon the GUS

CONGRESS- AND TRUST LEGIsLA
TIoN.

The futility of urging at this lat,
day the necessity Of more Legislation
or the trust question by congress is
obvious to any one who has followed
the several decisions of the courts un-
der the Sherman antitrust act. pas
ed in 1890. The recent case Of the
Addyston Pipe Company. decided on
December 4, last, merely served to
emphasize the fact that this act COW
ers everything in the nature of an in
dustrial combination regarding which
congress is authorized to act.
That congress has reached the fun
limit Of its powers in antitrust legis-
lation is very clearly and succinctly
shown by David Wilcox, in an article
in the February Forum. The unreas-
oning advocates of more drastic fed
eraI legislation in restraint of trusts
persistently ignore the TACT that the
only authority which congress pos
sesses TO legislate upon ,he subject Is
foand in the constitutional provision
that it shall have power ito regulate
commerce with foreign nations. and
among the several states" Under this
provision it is possible for congress to
prohibit such acts as are in restraint
OF trade or commerce among the sew
eral states or with foreign nations.
Further than this ongress cannot go.
Just what constitutes such restraint
of trade as may i've prohibited by con-
gress is therefore the fundamental
question which has been decided by the
courts in the several cases brought
under the Sherman act In deciding
the Sugar Trust case in 1895, the Kan
sas City Live Stock Exchange cases
in 1875. the Traffic Association cases in
1857 and 1858, and more recently the
Addyston Pipe Company case in 1899
Mr.. Wilcox points out the clear dis
tinction made by The court between
processes of production and interstate
commerce: that commerce begins after
production has terminated, and that
restraints merely upon production are
not restraints upon commerce, although
they may tend to diminish its vol
ume.
In other words. congress has no pow
er to directly interfere with combina-
tions formed for the purpose Of limit
ing production unless such combina-
tions enter into a conspiracy to de-
stroy competition which must operate
10 restrain trade. 1t has been uni
formly held that the federal statute
applies only to those contracts whose
direct and immediate effect is
a restraint upon interstate COM
merce and does not apply
where the effect is merely Incl
dental or collateral to the main object
of the agreement 4 the scope of the
Sherman act has been fully traversed
by these decisions it is clear that this
statute constitutes a complete exer-
else of the power of congress and that
the idea Of further legislation, as Mr..
Wilcox says, 'is merely an idle de-
Iusion."
