oBEYING The TRUSTS.

= delegation Of Indiana Republicans
waited on Representative James z.
Watson the other day and demanded
to know why ne had voted for the
Porto Rican tariff bin in the face of
all the petitions and kilograms Repub-
leans had sent him from the Sixth dis
trict protesting against the measure,
and in the face of his solemn promise
to oppose the bill.
Mr.. Watson answered that his judg-
ment was against it, that he regarded
it "a suppression of the constitution, -
but he voted for it because President
Mckinley asked him TO do so.
That is the trouble with Republican
congressman This one admits that he
doesn't represent his constituents. He
represents McKinley's wishes; these
are Hanna's wishes; and his wishes
are those of the sugar and tobacco
trusts.
Representative Watson wants to keep
lin line with the administration" it
doesn't matter about the people who
elect him or their wishes or his prom
ises to them. It would be the same
with Hammond. Even if he had a con-
viction, who doubts that he would sur
render it the first time Hanna demand
ed it?
This is the great danger of imperial
ism. The people are nothing; the
crown is everything.

PREFERRED THE SENATE BILL

The Provo Enquirer says that Ham
monds financiel views should be judged
by his preference for the defunct SEN
ate currency bill.
This measure represents Mr.. Ham
mond's ideas of bimetallism, says the
Provo champion of the gold standard.
Senator Ell1ins of West Virginia made
zone of the ablest speeches for the SEN
ate bill" a New York paper informs
us. This is his view Of the bill:
Mr.. President. the bill reported by the
finance committee as a substitute for the
house bill is the most important financial
measure that has been presented to con-
gress since the civil war. The chief fea-
