TIE CURE FOR TRUSTS.

A letter which we publish today from
Mr.. Henry w. Lamb president of the
New England Free Trade League, deals
with the dangers of neglecting the
tariff feature of the trusts" This
league has demonstrated. in q careful
series of articles in our columns, that
protective interference and discrimi-
nation give the trusts" most Of their
power to hurt. The difference between
the numerous other cures proposed and
the common sense remedy which Mr..
Lamb advocates, is that they would in
crease the power of the government to
discriminate and he would do away
with it.
There cannot be anv doubt as to who
really fixes the protective tariff rates.
In taxes laid for revenue, with few
exceptions, the representatives Of the
people are left to exercise their own
Judgment; but when protective favors
are to be secured the representatives of
organized wealth take the reins. The
same influence, working through the
same channels, would dictate classifica-
tions and rates if the government
should control the railroads, just as long
as protective taxes leave the trusts a
great prize to work for. Remove the
protective taxes which gave the trusts
their power to extort and we shall de-
stroy at once the great majority of the
trusts which now wrest favors from
railroad corporations and would wrest
them from the government.

BACKED BY POLITICAL sCBEMERs

The ripper" bill proposed by Mr..
Snyder for the government of Canton,
is the work of few politicians who see
in the scheme If successful an oppor-
tunity to enrich themselves at the ex-
pense of the taxpayers of the city. 1t Is
not the work of the people. There is no
demand on the part of the public for
change in the form of government for
Canton. There are not, at present, so
far as we know, any gross abuses in the
administration of the public affairs of
the city on the part of those to whom
the regulation of the city's business
has been entrusted, and by whom the
city's affairs are regulated and con-
Quoted. If there were, then there might
be some excuse for the ripper" bill
introduced by the Hon. Jacob b. Sny-
der. The people have not asked for a
change in the form of government in Can
ton. 1t is not charged by the promoters
of the ripper" bill that the powers
exercised by the officials Of the city
under our present plan of government
have been abused, or that the duties OF
the officials, whom the ripper" seeks
to remove, are not faithfully and hon
estly executed. Nor is it claimed that
the ripper" is required to remedy Q
condition that cannot be changed al
the polls at the first opportunity If the
people SO desire 1t. Then what excuse
can be offered in justification of the
adoption of that form OF government
for the city, which can bring nothinl
20 her people but increased taxes. ant

shall have no voice? The fact is. M

the government for carrying the malls
This snug sum amounts to ASS per cent
on capital of s1O.OOO,OOO The work of
carrying the mails required little extra
expense or inconvenience. Assuming
that the company's regular businesa
merely pays expenses, its stockholders
are already in receipt of steady and
reasonable income of nearly per cent.
profit on it's regular business. With
the half million which it gets from the
government for carrying the mails 1t
is enjoying degree of prosperity which
most business men would be glad to
share. To this income of the Interna-
tional Navigation Company the people
are now asked to go down into their
pockets and contribute a clear addi-
tional profit of over 21h per cent to
the stockholders of the International
Navigation Company. This, added to
the ASS per cent already given for car
rying the mails will produce an insured
income of more than 20 per cent on an
assumed capital of $1O,OOOOOO over and
above whatever it's regular business
may bring 1t is an alluring proposition
for the interested company-better than
gold mine. Naturally Hanna expects
large contributions from the ship own
ers If they can get the bill through and
depend upon it, in this he would not be
disappointed.
The Stark County Democrat. [volume] (Canton, Ohio) 1833-1912, 1900-02-27

Mr.. Hanna has his heart set on secur-
ing the passage Of the infamous Hanna
Payne Ship-Subsidy bill Not more
perhaps, in the interest of the naviga-
ton companies than to secure an in
creased campaign fund to corrupt the
voters in the coming presidential con-
test. A subsidy of $2OO,OOO.OOO for the
ship owners, or steal, rather, means a
heavy contribution from the ship own
ers to the Mckinley campaign fund this
fall. Mr.. Hanna is playing desperate
game, now, for which he finds justifica-
tion in the philosophy that desperate
ends demand desperate means. The
commissioner of navigation who ought
to be working in the interest of the
people, is working with all his might for
his boss, Hanna and the ship-subsidy
steal.
In recent pamphlet issued by him
at the governments expense-he de-
clared that the International Naviga-
tion Company would receive "only''
50, 151,906 a year If the bill became law
Think of 1t, "oniy" little more than
$2,00O,OlO year to company for ships
already built. But the commissioner
overlooked one thing. The company
named, last year received $ls5.e7s from

1t has been said that the trusts will
contribute to the campaign fund of the
Republican party $25, ,OOO, 900 for use dur
ing the 1900 campaign. The statement
is in every way credible. Corporations
capitalized at more than $4,000, ,0O0, 600
could well afford to set aside $25, 900, 600
to secure not only immunity from
government opposition, but govern
ment aid in the shape OF tariff legisla-
ton to fasten their hold still more Sc
curely.
The gigantic campaign contribution
would come directly out of the pockets
of the people. The Standard Oil Com
pany raised the price of oil cents a
gallon and as result paid quarterly
dividend of $2O,OOO,OOO. If that trust
made big contribution to the Repub-
lican campaign fund it would merely
cut down triie the quarterly dividend.
1t would be sound investment from
the point of view of trust operators,
and the consumers of oil would pay it
in the shape of raised prices before the
campaign year closed.
