Trusts and Foreign Policy


The trust question is frankly and
vigorously considered Official records
of legislation show that the Republic
an party is the only one which has
courageously undertaken the task of
controlling trusts by national legisla-
tion. The Republican party placed
upon the statute books the only eff
fective piece of legislation ever created
for this purpose-the Sherman anti
trust law-but it's efforts to so amend
the constitution as to enable the en-
actment of additional legislation, while
supported by all Republicans, was de-
feated by Democratic votes in the Fif-
ty-sixth congress, and thus the only
available method of assuring national
control of this subject was rejected by
the Democratic party. The fallacy of
the frequently repeated assertion that
"trusts are the product of protection"
| is proved by series of statements
which show the existence for many
years Of trusts in England and other
low tariff countries.
The leading events of the three years
OF President McKinleys administra-
tion are reyiewed-the enactment of
the protective tariff, which was ac-
complished more quickly than any
tariff legislation since Washington IS
4 first term; the enactment of the gold
4 standard law, the Pacific railroad set
Elements, the annexation of Hawaii
4 and the war with Spain and the re
I suits which followed. Conditions in
Cuba are discussed and the prepara-
tions for giving the island complete
independence outlined. The Porte
Riean legislation is reviewed, with the
assertion that the enactment of the
: tariff law was for the best interests
not alone for the citizens of Porte
Rico, who are the direct benefclaries
| from the money so collected, but es
/ pecially of labor in the United States
!. which is thus assured that the Repub
: lican party will insist upon its right
I to legislatc with reference to the re
: lations of newly added territory ac
:, cording to circumstances and require
a ments.
a The socalled issue Of imperialism
4 is answered with a series of historical
: statements which show that the cours'
e which the United States is following
}. in the Philippines and Porto Rico Il
far NOR generous than that accorded
to peope under similar conditions b.
the Democratic party in the numerou

Improvement In Metal Market Re-
ported to BE Spreading.
Cleveland, Aug. 30.-The Iron Trade
Review this week will say:
",fhe Improvement in the iron trade is
spreading Pig iron is sharing as it has
not before, the activity that appeared
five weeks ago in finished material and
the mills are adding to their booked ton
mage, though not at the rate of early
August when the large contracts for bars
We're placed. The pig iron market is re-
peating the history made in finished lines
with buyers really ready to take hold
the producers are quoting prices below
expectations, considering present high
costs of material and labor, and it is
plain that the cost line has been crossed
for some furnaces that are still in blast.
Important producers, able if any to
sell at the low prices reported, are refus-
| ing to go below an announced minimum.
| On southern iron this is $11 Birmingham
| for No. 2 foundry, though sales have
been made at $10.25 and $10.50, and it is
understood western deliveries have beer
made at figures netting $10.10 at south
| ern furnace.
Similarly northern iron has yielded il
the face of actual demand and while 81:
at central western furnace for No.
foundry was considered minimum fey
weeks ago S14 has been done, and it i
understood iron has been sold delivere
100 miles distant from furnace at ST.
Farther east as low as $3.50 at furnac
for No. 2 foundry in 1000 and 1000 lot
has been quoted.

APPEALING AGAINST APATHY
This hanger Still the Greatest OBJ
st,scIe to Republican Success.

This Danger Still the Greatest OBJ
sts,cle to Republican Success.
NewYorll is still full of business men
from Ill parts of the country and they
are al hopeful of an active business
seasoi this fall and emphatic in their
desird for the success of the Repub-
lican national ticket. 1t is still evil
dent, however, that dangerous feel
ing d overconfidence exists in many
ouarters. This is the general testimony
of TIL, business men of the west ana
south now visiting the metropolis.
Just because of the prevailing apathy
among the business classes, and the
Republicans generally, the Democrats
are now taking courage for the first
time since the campaign opened. 1t is
theil only hope. They are looking
anxbusly to Vermont and Maine ana
are hoping that through apathy tho
Republican majoritics in these states
may be materially reduced; If so. they
will joyfully announce it as proof
that the strength of the Republicans
is filling and that the tide has turned
in ftvor of the Democrats.
Unless the Republican voters of those
states, and the business men every
whese, shall awake to realization oi
the situation as it actually stands, th'
result which is so strongly and uniyers
allydesired by them may fail of attain
ment after all. 1t was similar over
confidence which lost the battle for tn
Republicans in 1884 and 1892, AM
which came near losing them the con
troll of congress two years ago. Bus
ness mensshould see that it is necessar
to awake and begin at once to take a
active part in the contest for the r.
election of President Mckinley. Will
out this active cooperation on the
part the battle may be lost.

houses are guarded except those occu-
pied by foreigners, the palaces and
those in the sacred city. Almost every
house is destitute of furniture. Gen.
Chaffee says he could not have believ-
ed that any city would ever be given
over so completely to looters; and he
earnestly desires the cooperation of
any nation to prevent this.
"On the other hand, the missionaries
complain because the sacred city has
not been looted. They urge that the
royal family and other highly placed
Chinese personages who were behind
all the trouble should be made to suf-
fer more than those who blindly fol-
lowed them.
Gen. Fukushima, the Japanese COM
mander, informed Gen. Chaffee that
brutal outrages were being committed
in Tung Chow. He told the American
commander that he had positive infor-
nation that many women had thrown
themselves into wells or committed
suicide in other ways after having been
outraged and that there were several
authentic cases of coolies who had been
killed under peculiar atrocious condi-
lions. He requested Gen. Chaffee to
investigate and then to cooperate with
him to check these 'barbarities as far as
possible. Gen. Chaffee ordered Major
Muir to proceed Immediately to Tung
Chow and to report.
