CURRENT COMMENT,

The Chicago Chronicle (Dem.), says:
with his characteristic weakness for
saying pleasant things, even az the ex-
pense CT strict truth, MIR. Depew has
been telling the London barristers that
lawyers made the United States. and
lawyers govern the UuiCed States" Law
yers may have made the United States,
though the proceedings at Yorktown and
elsewhere were noJ of a strictly legal ma
ture, but lawyers don't govern the United
States. Under the present dynasty the
trusts have undertaken that job, as MIR.
Depew has abundant reason to know"
The Philadelphia Record Dem) says:
"rhe Republican leaders preserve a dis
Greet silence in regard TO the Trusts and
their methods Of spoliation while at the
same time they declare il to be their pur-
pose TO permit no change in the tariff
system by which the Industrial monop-
olies live and move and have their being
In the meantime the Trusts through
their tariff means of extortion are daily
diminishing the comforts and hardening
the lot of every workingman's family in
the land"
The New Orleans Times-Democrat
Den) says: "As far as we have been
able to see the Republicans, in spite OF
their supreme confidence are not going
to sit down and let~victory tumble into
the party's lap; on the contrary. It be-
gins to look as II they thought they had
mighty hard struggle before them
which would require all their resources
TO carry 20 success More than this even:
so little sure do they feel al heart about
a victory browning their campaign efforts
that they are resor ing to ilegitimate
methods to influence the votes Of the pep
Dle.''

Congress and twenty-nine of the states
have passed laws expressly designed and
constructed TO prohibit trusts: neverthe-
less. they flourish and multiply as If there
were nothing against them. The satur-
day Evening Post has been gathering
some statistics with respect to trusts. and
finds that within recent years trusts have
been formed in this country with CAPITAL
aggregating seven thousand millions OF
dollars. In the number there are thirty
corporations which are capitalized al $50
600 600 or more each. These thirty are
credited With capital amounting to two
and one-third billions of dollars. There
are 400 corporations in the list Of trusts.
The Post says: THE entire general stock
of money of all kinds in the United states.
gold, silver, notes and certificates.
amounts TO about g, 100000 900; so that IL
all the 400 combines in the list should try
10 turn their capital into cash. they would
use UP every penny of the nations money
and then have only about 40 per cent. of
their demands. Indeed. the thirty cor
porations mentioned would use up nearly
all our cash" This gives some idea OF
the enormous proportions to which che
trusts have grown, in the face Of the
mass of legislation aimed especially at
shem.

HELD AS HOSTAGES,

There seem to be good reasons now
for thinking that with the exception of
the German minister, the ministers at
Pel1in are alive and free from immediate
danger, and that they are being held as
hostages, The Chinese government ap-
pears to have an idea that it can make
better terms if it holds the ministers with
the threat, that If les terms are not agreed
to the ministers win be turned over TO
the Boxer mob. Ii Hung Chang is much
wiser than the government. He knows
that the Powers would not be bluffed by
the Chinese government, and so he adj
vises that the ministers be sent to Tien
Tsin with a guard capable of protecting
them.
A quite difficult problem, il must be adj
mitted would be presented to the Pow
ers if the Chinese government should offer
terms in settlement of the outrages which
have been committed, and say that I'M
less they were accepted the ministers
would be killed. 1t is hardly probable,
however, that the Chinese government
will present to the Powers any such ulti-
matum. The Powers would have no very
good feeling towards China II they should
be forced to accept terms conspcuously
unjust in order to save the lives of their
ministers. Some of them might take an
early opportunity to break a peace Sc.
cured in such a manner and in the end
China would have 10 pay far more dear
ly for the outrages on the ministers and
the killing of missionaries, than If she
should frankly acknowledge her liability
for damages, and offer to settle on the
best terms she could obtain.
1t seems from the dispatches that it is
not the purpose of this country and Great
Britain to parley with China any longer,
but 10 move on to Pekin at the earliest
possible moment. The Americans and
British have very small force at Tien
Tsin. 1t is not large. enough to justify
an advance unless there is an understand
ing of some sort that the gov ernment win
not obstruct the advance-that the only.
opposition will be from the Boxers.
The statement that the Americans and
the British have determined to advance
at once and to act Independently of the
other Powers, is perhaps little prems
ture. No doubt the American and British
generals would like to make the attempt
to reach Pekin and rescue the ministers,
but unless the situation is very different
from what 1T is supposed to be, to go
forward with the small force which they
! have, would be foolhardy undertaking.

The cotton tie trust is likely 20 have
compe tition before great while, and of
a sort that will make trouble for it-at
least for a while. 1t may be THAI in the
long run the trouble will react upon the
consumers, as is usually the case when
great corpora lions fight each other. II is
reported that the Carnegie Steel Company
viii erect a great mill for the manufac-
ture of rods, bands and hoops, such as
are manufactured by the American Steel
Hoop Company. This latter corporation
now possesses what is a practical monopo-
ly of the steel hoop and band business.
Should Carnegie enter the fed as a com
petitor. it is almost sure there would be
a fight OF greater or less length.

Freight rates on grain from Pacific
ports have gone up to the highest point
touched in several years. The reason is
that the urgent demand for ships to be
used in transporting troops, coal and pro-
visions TO the Orient has greatly reduced
the available bottoms for carrying grain.
The price of canned meats has advanced
20 per cent. within the past few days, on
account of the heavy demand for export
for the use of armies now in the field or
ordered there.

Exports to Asia and Gee anja

Exports to Asia and Oceania in the
fiscal year which ends with the month
or June will for the first time in our
history exceed 800 200, 900. In no part
or the world has our export trade grown
with such amazing rapidity, with the
single exception Of Africa In 1898 our
total exports to all Asia and Oceania
amounted to only s27, 421, S31, so that in
the hscal year now about to end thew
will be about four times as great as
those of eight years earlier. Imports
from that part of the world are also
growing rapidly because of the large
increase in the share of our sugar sup-
ply which now comes from the Islands
of the Pacific. More than one-half the
sugar imported into the United States
now comes from the East Indies and
Hawaiian Islands. OF the 1881. SOC. 55S

The American ship Dirigo Of the same
fleet as the magnificent Erskine n.
Phelps, arrived in port yesterday morn
ing SO days from Hongkong with HOO
tons of ballast. She will load sugar
here for San Francisco as will also the
Phelps. Captain Goodwin is accom-
panied by his wife.
The Dirigo left Hongkong almost four
days before the Erskine M Phelps left
Manila. The distances from the two
ports to Honolulu are almost exactly
the same, and if anything, the passage
from Manila is the more difficult of the
two as any captain familiar with the
two routes will testify
Arriving in port here a day ahead Of
the Dirigo, the Phelps beat the former
vessel by nearly five days. 1t was
known by the vessels owners that thew
would sail from their respective ports
about the same time and the race has
been watched with a great deal of in
terest. When it is learned on the Main
land that the Phelps won in, there will
be great rejoicing on the part of those
who backed the big four-master.
Her arrival here first means that the
Phelps will load sugar first and that
she will probably arrive in San Fran
cisco about the time that the Dirigo is
ready to leave here for that port.
Ivanhoe Sails.
Yesterday forenoon the British bark
1vanhoe sailed for Royal Roads I'm ball
last. She expects orders at that place.
concerning her future movements The
harbor police put five men aboard lust
before she sailed. These sailors had de-
serted several days ago and they kent
the police on the jump getting hold of
them again. Turk and Lewis were
seen around the harbor yesterday. So
iiciting business in the shipping line.
They have no license to carry on this
work and the police are keeping a close
watch on them. All their old contracts
have been fulfilled and Lewis and Turk
have been doing practically no business
in the shipping line for the past week.
Captains don't care to have anything to
do with them and are fighting shy of
having any dealings with them what
soever.
