As result Of the operations Of the
Glass Trust, the Pottery Trust, the
Iron and Steel Trust, the Wile Nail
Trust and the Bicycle Trust, IS, 900 men
In Indiana have been thrown out of
employment, Notwithstanding there is
an active demand for all the products
they were engaged in manufacturing.
They were denied the means of making
an honest living simply because these
trusts desired to maintain high prices
for their products by restricting Fro
duction. And all these trusts are fos-
tered and protected by the Dingley
Tariff law, which not only permits them
to adopt this cruel and oppressive
course, but encourages them in 1t. The
Glass Trust is protected by duty of
GO per cent; the Pottery Trust by a
duty of 30 per cent; the Iron and Steel
Trust by q duty of 45 per cent; tn Q
Wire Nail Trust by duty of 40 per
cent, and the Bicycle Trust by duty
that is practically prohibitive. These
35, 900 idle men in Indiana are, natur
ally, embittered against the trusts and
the law that fosters them. They are a
menace to Republican SUCCESS, and il
is no wonder that Chairman Hanna ID
worried over the political outlook in
Indiana.

Tho seya I'm rnrnea Down.

The Levy Court of New Castle
county, at its session Tuesday after
noon, refused to allow the rreposte.ous
bill OF Mayor Boyd Of New Castle
Sl,50l. 25-for the alleged commitment
Of tramps to Now Castle Jail. Origi-
naily, the claim was about SO, 800, but
the bill was subsequently reduced to its
present figures
The resolution to allow the bill was
offered by Mr.. Lynn and favored by
him and Mr.. White. 1t WAS opposed
by Mr.. Gallagher, Mr.. Mealey and
Chairman Scott.
There can DO no doubt that the threb
menbers Of the Levy Court who de-.
| feated this outrageous and unwairanted
claim, acted in accord with the interests
Of the taxpayers, The clam has been
thoroughly investigated and found to
have no foundation. No one pretends
to believe for an instant that the mum
Der of persons represented by the
amount charged were committed to
New Castle Jail by the Mayor of New
Castle during the past year. The COM
mitInents were supposed to DO OF
tramps, seeking nights lodging, and
they would have comprised an army.
Had the charge been d legitimate one,
it would have been easy to support the
bill with the commitments, which
would have acted as vouchers. But
the commitments were not piesented,
and the majority of the members Of
the Levy Court very properly refused
to allow the bill
But. willis this unjust claim has
been disposed of .it is still matter of
interest to learn to what extent the
people Of New Castle county have been
mulcted by iheioutragaous custom of
charging commitment fees and allow
ing fees to the sheriffs for imaginary
tramps committed to New Castle Jail.
The sheriff has already been allowed
board for the imaginary prisoners
represented by Mayor Boyd's bill.
How much did Sheriff Taylor thus un-
justly receive in this manner? Mayor
Boyd's bills in the past were allowed,
to considerable extent. How much
did ex-Sberiff Finn and his pre-
decessors receive fos the board of these
fictitious prisoners at the jaii?
1t has been estimated that New
Castle county has, during the past
ter or a dozen years, paid out at least
$50, 600 in the shape OF fees and charges
for imaginary prisoners ut New Castle
Jail who were never inside the walls of
thst institution. It is we'll that halt
has finally been called. 1t will be
even better for the next Legislature to
make thorough investigation, with a
view to discovering, if possible, the
exact extent Of the imposition, and the
probability of compelling the bene-
fioiaries to make restitution to the
county.
