and all the other professional trust
killers" voted NAY. They declined to
give congress the power to grappe
with the trusts. The Democrats In
dulged In spasms of virtue for two
days, denouncing the trusts. and then
voted to continue them.
In one Of Mr.. Bryan's recent speeches
he gave the Republican remedy as the
final one he would adopt, In case he
was elected and all other means failed.
In other words, Mr.. Bryan admits the
value of the Republican idea, but
wants to try other measures first. He
has not said what those measures are
to be. Some trusts operate all over
the country; others. like the New York
Ice Trust, operate in single city. The
requisite power to reach each and all
and bring them within the Federal
law, WAS DENIED BY A MARGIN
OF 36 VOTES, ALL DEMOCRATIC.
Denouncing is one thing. Doing is
another. Mr.. Bryan's trust denuncia-
tions, In view of his partys record,
promise no better than the prophecies
he made four years ago. and as
prophet Mr. Bryan has not succeeded.

LITERARY NOTES.

"The Life of Paul JONES' which Cyrus Town
send Brady is publishing through the Messrs
Appleton, has been awaited with peculiar in.
terest on account of the obvious fitness of this
brilliant writer to deal with so picturesque Il
subject. AS a writer upon naval life from the
point Of view of the historical romancer. Mr..
Brady stands at the head of the American
writer's Of this generation. He is historian as
we'll as a novelist, and his historical and
biographical work has attracted marked attention
on account OF the knowledge, tn grasp OF theme
and the power of sympathetic discernment which
he has shown. A life Of Paul Jones by Mr..
Brady seems to represent peculiarly foleitous
union Of author and subject. There is no more
picturesque and heroic figure in naval history
than that OF the doughty little captain who
fosght and captured the serapis when his own
ship was sinking under him. His career pre-
sented features which have proved puzzling to
many writer's and the work which Mr.. Brady
seems to have done in clearing up his life,
and in presenting lrrid narrative enriched with
extracts from Paul Jones' more important cor
respondence, has peculiar and permanent value.

trade combinations was placed there
by the Republicans. That there Is not
more stringent law against them is the
fault of the Democratic party The
last occasion on which the parties, as
represented in congress, went on rec
ord on the trust question was on June

taken on a constitutional amendment
tr grant congress power to "define
reg dlate, prohibit and dissolve trusts,
monopolies and combinations, whether
existing in the form of corporations or
otherwise. 1t requires a two-thirds
vote of congress to submit Constitu-

latures for ratification. The question
to- so submit it was lost by a vote of

BuncOmbe.

Y T SEEMS, according to the Bing-
hamton Leader, that at one
Il time in the city Of Binghamton
there was small match fac
tory called the Independent Match
company, which ran in opposition to
the Diamond Match company, the big
concern which owns most Of the match
factories in the United States. The
Binghamton concern sold out to the
Diamond company and the latter
moved its machinery away. This, ac-
cording to the Scranton Times. con-
stitutes a strong reason why the
laborins men of Lackawanna county
should vote for Bryan. 1t shows the
awful work Of a trust"
Let us see about this. Is there any
law against one concern selling out
to another? Could Bryan pass any
law making it crime for the owner
of machinery in Binghamton to move
it. for example, to Scranton, or vice
versa? Was the crime in buying, SELL
ing or moving? Or was there any
crime at all? How would the Times
construct it's argument if instead OF
the Binghamton concern selling to the
match trust" it had instead bought
out the trust" plants and moved them
to Binghamton: Would that have
made any difference in the equity Of
the transaction?
Perhaps the Bryanite reply would
be: "The buying out of that inde-
pendent match factory threw men out
Of work." True; but it also threw
other men into work. The case is as
broad as 1t is long. If the Bingham
ton concern could have made more
money by continuing in business than
by selling, it would not have sold. If
1t couldn't have made a profit by rum
ming, there Is no possible law which
could have forced it to continue in
business at q loss. If the Times
could buy the Truth, or vice versa,
and it appeared to be a transaction in
volving business benefits. could Bryan
or a Democratic congress interpose a
veto? Could either stop the merging
Of these plants and the substitution of
one working force for two if the re-
spective owners SO decided Iand agreed:
There is a vast deal of buncombe in
this Populistic howl against trusts.
