TRUSTS ALONE CONSIDERED.
republican Legislation Looks To-
ward the UDbuiidin= of
MoRoDoI:es.

In pamphlet entitled "The United
States Merchant Marine on the
Oceans" issued by the Marine Review
of Cleveland, o., Mr.. E. T. Chamber
lain, United States commissioner of
navigation, reviews the progress of
the worlds maritime nations.
This review is especially interesting
as containing a frank republican con
fessioh of the truth that there is now
no good reason why a high protective
tariff should be maintained by this
country. In speaking of the marked
increase of interest in the establish
ment of an American merchant ma
rine, Mr.. Chamberlain attests to the
necessity for such marine service bv
stating that it is demanded for the
carrying of American goods abroad.
"Our manufactures have developed SO
rapidly" he says, that the place the
home market filled in the political dis
cussions of Is or 20 years ago is now
filled by the foreign markets.
Save as a factor in the further
strengthening and fostering of the
trust system it is difficult to see, in
the light of this authoritative repub-
lican utterance, why the tax of a high
protective tariff should be imposed on
the American people. 1t certainly is
not needed for the protection Of
American manufacturers from foreign
competition, since American manu-
facturers thus so successfully com
pete in foreign markets that their
home trade has become of secondary
Importance. And surely the foreign
manufacturer, thus undersold in his
own markets, cannot underseu Amer
leans in American markets, with
freight, insurance and other legiti-
mate and unavoidable charges added
to the cost of his production.
1t will be interesting to hear re-
publican plea for the Dingley tariff
under these acknowledged conditions
that shall indicate anything beyond
a determination to uphold the trust
control of American markets by MAX
ing eXorbitant prices for trust goods
possible. Already, thanks to the tar
iff, Americans pay more for American
manufactures than the same Ameri-
can goods are sold for in foreign mar
kets. If this means anything but a
wrongful tax on American consumers
for the sole benefit of American trust
organizations its further meaning is
not apparent on the face of the fig
ures. The American people will he
blind indeed if they now fail to see
that the present protective tariff is
nothing more nor less than an arbi-
trary levy for trust benefit at their
expense, upheld by the republican
party at trust dictation. = st. Louis

EXPENSIVE EXPANSION.
Large Bills of Expense VIII Follow
the Republican Policy of
Imperialism.

Economy and expansion are not COM
panions. This fact is demonstrated by
Secretary Gage, who estimates that the
expenses of the present congress will
be about $1,25O, 100000.
Expansion has a large and magnifi-
cent sound when the word is spoken by
typical imperialist like Mark Hanna,
but it also implies large and magnifi-
cent bill of expense.
One of Hanna's pet schemes of ex-
panding commerce is to subsidize
American ships. That means that a
business which don't pay under NOM
inal conditions can be made profitable
if the government will only furnish the
money to make the profit.
Republican editors are not unani-
mously in favor of this kind of expan-
sion and the Philadelphia Ledger, a
sound republican newspaper, takes oc-
casion to say:
ga determined and persistent effort,
sustained by a powerful combination, is
about to be made in behalf of granting
ship subsidies of $9,OOO,O0O to rich cor
porations, which seem to look upon a
raid on the treasury as a simple and
easy method of making money. Sena-
tor Lodge has introduced a bill appro-
priating $11, 100000 for Pacific cable;
the Nicaragua canal project is waiting
a favorable opportunity, and Senator
Cullom, not satisfied with the enormous
yearly expenditures of $145,000,00 for
pensions, has fathered bill for remov-
ing the disabilities of soldiers who de-
serted or were dishonorably dis
charged, on the ground that the time
has arrived when the government can
he magnanimous and forgive any lit
tie indiscretion of the soldiers of the
civil war.
''In the grand rush of Imperialism
there seems danger that some of our
legislators will lose not only their sense
of dignity in prying open the treasury,
but the sense Of ordinary integrity"
These words are timely and should be
carefully considered by the advocates
of expansion. But it remains for the
people to cast out of power the party
which favors expansion at the expense
of the people who pay the taxes.-Chi-
cago Democrat.

continued: II walks into one of these
rapid-fire restaurants the other day,
and just as | was getting a wrench on

me as though he had pair of specks
