Ask that neighbor of yours who
says there is plenty of money in
circulation whether or not he
could accommodate you with the
amount of that little account he
owes you and ten to one lie will re-
ply that he hasn't the money. The
extravagance of war has increased
the demand for lnborers in certain
channels and enrich a agoodly good
ly number of employers of labor,
but the farmers share OF benefits
is small indeed. A high tariff and
single standard are not calculated
to scatter a circulating medium"
among tho masses.

Almost every aspiring politician
has remedy for trusts that gener-
ally involves long and costly
course of legal proceedings Put
ting trust articles on the free list
is short, sharp and decisive. 1t
doesn't fool away any time. Itac-
cords with the principles of some
of the best men of the Republican
party. John Sherman said long
ago that trusts should be deprived
of every scrap of protection. Do
that and we will be in fair way of
terminating the regime of the
trusts and reforming the worst
abuses of trust and monopoly pro
lection.

rhe Mother or TRUSTS.

A bill has been introduced in the
lower House of Congress providing
for the suspension of the tariff on
any article that is controlled by a
monopoly or a trust The Repre-
sentative who offers it is Repub-
lican, but it is safe to say that his
Republican colleagueswill not look
Mt the situation through his spec
tncles. To be sure, the simplest
and most effective method of deal
ing with unlawful combinations in
restraint of trade would be by the
abrogation of laws which make
such combinations profitable, but
the dominant party of to day is no
lass committed to protection of
the trusts than it is to trustful-
ness in protection. Deny it as
they will, however, the opposition
cannot get around the fact that the
"tariff is the mother of trusts"
A single example will suffice to
prove this. We take our figures
from a pamphlet written by Byron
w. Holt. There is no reason to
doubt their accuracy. The tin
plate industry of this country is a
child of the tariff. Protectionists
not only admit this fact, but they
have been wont to point to it with
pride. The present tin plate in
terests asked to have 2 / 5 cents
per pound duty added to the price
of imported goods until they could
experiment and see whether it
would be profitable to produce the
commodity ut double the price of
foreign tin plate. The request was
granted, and the experiment was
tried. Iron and steel were very
cheap from 1898 to 1898, and there
fore the manufacturers operated
under very favorable conditions
In 1898 there were 40 plants in the
country, and about $50 mills. AS
Mr.. Holt puts it, internal competi-
tion had for the first time in our
history SO lowered prices that few
plates were imported. Then the
manufacturers got together and
formed compact, air tight monop-
oily, (which is credit to its moth
er-the tariff" To assure them-
selves that prices would be held up
for at least five years to the Ding
ley duty limit, they made contracts
with builders of tin plate mills
which prevents other people from
going into the business before 1904
at the earliest. The tangible assets
of this trust amount to not moro
than S1O,OOOOOO, yet it is capital

Country Newspapers and White
RaDeF.

"The country newspapers out
my way are hosting signal of
distress over the increased cost of
paper and pulp" was the assertion.
of Representative Champ CLARK, of
Missouri, yesterday, as he went
through bundle of letters. Gone
editor [ know wrote me that with
the present prices for paper, it
would cost him $500 more to print
his newspaper this year than it cost
last year. Now if you know any
thing about the profits of country
newspapers, it is easy to figure that
only two ways are open. One isto
shut up shop and go out of bust
ness. The other is to raise the
price of subscriptions, and shift
the burden of the increased cost of
paper on people who read weekly
newspapers That is always a
dangerous expedient.
az have had other letters making
similar complaints, and L thought
it time to introduce bill to place
wood pulp, printing paper, and SO
forth on the free list. l wouldn't
be surprised if the fellows on the
other side of the House were com
PEELED to vote for such bill. The
clamor for the measure is great. t.

Taxation is not robbery when
the people get the value of their
money in substantial internal i'm
provements. 1t is like building a
new barn or keeping the fences in
repair. But the amount of taxes

the purpose of subdueing the ma
tives of an archipelago on the op-
posite side of the earth is in excess
of that paid by our people for inn

tax for roads, bridges or public
buildings, but go down in our

"To discontinue an advertise
ment," said John Wanamaker, the
largest advertiser in the world, sis
like taking down your sign. Ifyou
want to do business you must let
the people know it. Standing adj
vertisements when frequently
changed are better than reading

would as soon think of doing bust

A collision occurred Tuesday
evening between two towboats just
off Heatherington's coal works,
south of Bellaire. The Joseph
Walton was passing down with a
big tow of conl and model barges,
struck head onto the Pacific No,
2's tow of empties. The Walton's
tow be came unmanageable and
swung in the cross current.
The Walton lost two boats of
coal and a model barge of heavy
freight, the bows being stove in
both fleets were cut apart and the
barges were scattered all over the
river. No one was injured. The
loss is approximated at $4,000.
Tho keystone State was coaling
at the tipple at the time the coIlis-
ion occurred and was compelled to
cast off and back down very quick
ly to keep out out of the mix up.
Tho two fleets were speedily col
lected and the boats continued on
their way The loss will be total.

of the Avalon from the Kanawha
river trade has caused considerable
inconvenience among the shippers

A movement is now underway to
form new company and operate a
boat in place of the Avalon as the
owners of that craft will not give
any satisfactory answer as to when
it will again appear in that trade.

he polled six and half million of
