From the Rochester Herald: Presi-
dent Mckinley, the chief apostle of
protection, is an example of the pro-
tectionist who fears to take up the
the trusts. The preservation of his
tariff system is dearer to him than the
destruction of any evil that the tariff
may be fostering. While he is presi-
dent and while the clique of Repub-
lican's. headed by the presidents chief
adviser, are in control of both branches
of congress, nothing in the way of tar
iff reductions need be hoped for, and
the trusts will thrive along with the
smaller protected creatures.

The Currency Bills of the Present Con-
gress Fixes the Responsibility for the
British Gold Standard-Cannot Fool
tho Farmers.

From the Atlanta Constitution:
While some of the editors are wonder
ing if the money question will figure
in the next campaign, Hon. ]. G. John
son, vice-chairman of the executive
committee of the Democratic national
committee, calls attention to the fact
that the currency bills of the Repub-
lican party in congress have already
fixed the issue. By proposing to fix
the single gold standard upon the
country, the Republicans have shifted
the country in 1896, to a contest over
the gold standard pure and simple. In
the last campaign the discussion was
between those who favored the free
coinage of silver at the old ratio and
those who were opposed to the propo-
sition.
At that time the Republicans refused
They fought shy of it and evaded it.
They admitted in their platform that
bimetallism was better for the people
than the single gold. standard pro-
vided it could be reached as the result
of international agreement. And now
Mr.. Mckinley was so keen for the in
PRODUCTION of international bimetallism
that he took it upon himself, even be-
fore he took the oath of Office, to ar
range for commission whose duty it
would be to visit Europe in order that
the evils of the single gold standard
might be mitigated as promptly as pos
sible.
1t is hardly necessary to say that
many voters who were utterly opposed
to the single gold standard were won
over to the Republicans by the con-
servative stand which they conceived
that party had taken on the money
question. The impression left upon
the more thoughtful voters by the Re-
publican leaders was that these lead
ers were equally opposed to the gold
standard and to the Independent free
coinage of silver; they were supposed
to occupy the safe and conservative
ground midway between; they feared
independent free coinage, and so they
turned to international bimetallism.
For the first time since the ques-
ton of the standards has been agi-
tated the people will have an oppor-
tunity of deciding whether they want
bimetallism-the free coinage of both
money metals-or the single gold
standard Always, heretofore, the is
sue has been confused; the Republic
ans have been shifty enough to evade
it. But now they cannot escape the
results of their efforts to make the
gold standard the permanent measure
Of all the values in this country.
This is the question which the peo-
pie must decide for themselves. and
they will be given an opportunity next
year.

How to Overthrow Trusts.

From the Philadelphia Ledger: ..
4 tariff is so excessive as to promote
domestic monopoly it is unreasonably
applied, even from the orthodox view
of Republicanism, and it should be al
tered in such manner and measure as
to neither create, foster nor sustain
monopolistic trusts. which control the
conditions of trade, stife wholesome
competition, decree arbitrary prices by
restricting production and expressing
labor and consumers by their un-
scrupulous and dishonest practices.
Are the president and congress equal
to the situation? Is any other plan for
the confusion and overthrow of the
trusts feasible or possible? If SO let
it be tried.

Books Marrow Escapes.

Three of the greatest books in tho
world have narrowly escaped destruc-
ton, the "Aeneid of Virgil" the works
of Aristotle and the great body of Jew
ish tradition represented by the Tai
mud" It is recorded that Virgil on
his death bed sought to burn the only
COPY of the "Aeneid," as he had not
revised 1t, and when he was foiled in
this he ordered his executors, Varro
and Tucca, not to give 1t to the world,
a direction which was disregarded by
order of the Emperor Augustus. The
works of Aristotle suffered from neg
lect. They lay many years buried in
a cellar, and when, by mere accident.
they were at last unearthed, they were
SO damaged by damp and dirt that in
many passages they are hopelessly cor
rupt How great would have been the
loss of this work to the human race
may be judged from the fact that
everything that was known in the mid
die ages of the arts and sciences was
derived directly from these writings.
The "Talmud" nearly became extinct
through persecution. The possession
of the "Talmud," by a long series OF
edicts, extending over many centuries,
was made penal, and the book itself
was burned. No fewer than twenty
four wagon loads of "Talmud" manu-
script were burned in France in 1874.

has reported in favor Of retaining the
present number of representatives in
congress and making the new appor-

der such an arrangement the following
states will lose one representative each:
Indiana, Kentucky, Maine, Nebraska,
Ohio, South Carolina and Virginia. The
following will gain one each: Illinois,
Louisiana, Minnesota, New Jersey, New
York and West Virginia. Texas will
gain two representatives. Neither par-
ty will gain any advantage by such an
apportionment. The basis will be one
representative for each 20S, 1868 inhabit-
ants. The Republicans will gain five
and lose five, and the Democrats will
lose three and gain three representa-
tives under present political conditions.
The membership of the house would ie-
main 357, unless the three territories
are admitted, which would swell the
total to 800 or to 1862, if Oklahoma and

A RAILROAD COMBINATION.
The Albuquerque-santa Fe Proposition Said
To Be Booked BY Big Corporations.

Says the Denver Republican: 1t is
rumored that the Rock Island will on
January l formally assume charge OF
the Eel Paso & Northeastern railroad.
According to the story the Rock Island
has purchased the road. The Ell Pasc
road extends from FL Paso to White
Oaks, and is to be the connecting link
of the Rock Island in its proposed ex-
tension out of Liberal, Kan, to maxi.
a short route to southern California and
Old Mexico.
The Rock Island and the Denver &
Rio Grande are believed to be back of
the Santa Fe, Albuquerque & Pacific.
recently incorporated in New Mexlca.
The route of the new road is understood
to start at some point in Santa Fe, con-
meet with the Rio Grande to San Pedro,
in southern Santa Fee county, a dis
lance Of forty miles; thence through
Tijeras canon to Albuquerque, another
forty miles. There is also to be a
branch line from ten miles south of
San Pedro to connect with the proposed
extension of the Rock Island and the
Ell Paso & Northeastern, a distance OF
seventy miles. Altogether about $50
miles of railroad are to be built at once.
The new road will be a connecting link
with four big lines, the Santa Fe-Pa-
cific, the Rock Island, the Rio Grande
and the Ell Paso & Northeastern. 1t will
assure to Denver a line to Texas 1aD
miles shorter than by any Of the pres
ent routes, and the distance betwo N
Kansas City and Chicago will also be
shortened.

The Pennington Times is in favor of

for the enactment of such a law is

case of Pennington. Suppose a railroad
should commence building through
here. What police power or protection
have we other than the justice of the

IDENTIFY stands unique that it demands
protection against the coming of a rail

Pennington wants to be protected
against. But Pennington is a little
ahead of time. and it better make sure
that a railroad is coming before it wor-
ries about protection against it.

American Diplomacy.

The current impression is that the
United States ought to have a school 1T
diplomacy, that the frequent political
changes cause too frequent changes in
the diplomatic service, and that there
fore the United States is at a disadvan-
tage in dealing with other nations. But
history shows hat American diplomats
have taught European diplomacy more
than one valuable lesson. The Hon.
John w. Foster, a diplomat of large TX
p%erience, asserts that the United States
has been more potent in molding and
world than any other country. A little
more than 100 years ago President
Washington introduced to the consid-
Grafton of nations the doctrine that
neutrality meant a denial of assistance
or refuge to either of the warning pow
ers. This doctrine is now generally ac-
cepted as a part of the code of interna-
tional law.
In the war of 1912 the United States
fought for three principles: First, that
American ClClZeIS SEOulu HOl ne IdAHll
from American vessels on the ground
that they were by birth English sub
jects; second, that a blockade to be rec
ognlzed must be supported by a sufi-
cient naval force to make the blockade
effectual, and, third, that free ships
made free goods. The war was con-
Quoted without a settlement of the IS
sues on which it was fought, but in 1856
England, which had denied the Amer,-
can policy, united with France and 9TH
err great powers of Europe in the decla-
ration of Paris, which recognized the
doctrine of free ships and an effective
blockade.
Mr.. Foster claims that the United
States took the lead in developing ex-
tradition laws. and that in the settle
ment of the Alabama s%poliation claims
the principle. of arbitration received its
most important recognition. Other mi
nor diplomatic triumphs are mention d
by Mr.. Foster, but those referred to are
instances in which the United States
took the first decisive action alone.

their right to incite others to strike is
