to -, the House adopted Il resolution
providing for Il Constitutional amend
mcnt for the election Of Senators by di

creased by the investigation Of the Clark
case, which resulted in the report Of the
Senate Committee on Elections, dcclar-
ing unanimously that Mr.. Clark, Of NJ on

Sition viewed the proposed change may
be gathered from the following express
sion of opinions: Senator Chandlcr-'It

tors by direct votes of the people, we
shall get any nearer to the popular

elected by the people, State Conventions

The English have lately seen fit to
criticise the length of the campaigns
which precede our elections. They seem
unaware that America is a big country
and cannot be traversed in a couple
Of days by even our long-legged, strong
throated champion Of Democracy, Yet
the people must be informed. or mis-
informed. on the great issues Of the
day. in order that an intelligent bal
lot may be cast. The superiority OF
American over stagecoach British meth
DDS is shown when the time for the
elections comes. We have been recelv-
ing the returns from England for two
weeks and the latest dispatches tell
us that "the elections still drag on"
The result of our election on November
9Th next win be known within twenty
four hours after sunset on election day
and probably several hours earlier.

Bryan has been telling the farmers
what a repressive effect the protective

cultural products, Like all the rest
OF Bryan's statements. this can be cas-
lily refuted by reference 20 facts. In
1892, under the Mckinley protective tar
If. American farmers exported agri-
cultural products valued at $7SS.SsS,sS9.
In 1895, under the Wilson Democratic
tariff. these expectations amounted to
only $s5S9lOO26. In the past fiscal
year. under the Dingley tariff. agricul-
ural products worth sSS5,sl2,sS2 have

after the installation OF

TRUSTS AND TARIFF SYSTEMS.

Rochester Democrat and Chronicle.
Speaking Of trusts in England and the
United States. the Philadelphia Rec
ord" says:
England is under a system Of free
trade. and 1t is false and misleading to
bracket it with "other low-tariff coun-
tries" Every combination in trade to
fix prices and to control production in
England would be subject to competi-
ton with all the world. Hence it is
manifest that the so-called trusts in
England are absolutely wanting in the
features that make the industrial mo-
nopolies so odious and oppressive in the
United States. The essential condition
is that it shall undersell all other COM
petitors at home and abroad"
This is intended as an answer to the
fact. frequently set forth in Republican
newspapers, and definitely shown in the
Republican campaign textbook. that
trusts are as numerous in free-trade
and low-tariff countries as in the Unit
ed States.
The weakness of the answer is appar-
ent at glance. In the first place, there
is the forced admission that trusts can
exist with or without a tariff. In the
second place, there is the assertion that
trusts in England can maintain them
selves only by underselling all competi-
tors. with the intended implication that
uch is not the case in the United States,
when as a matter Of fact the state
ment is true Of both countries. The
great complaint against American
trusts is not that they raise prices, but
that they extinguish competition by
lowering them. And this often proves
their ruin. as witness the recent col
lapse of the wall paper trust, which
had the benefit Of 35 per cent tariff,
but which was driven to the wall by in
dependent manufacturers Of wall pa
per. The largest and most securely in
trenched Of our combinations is the
Standard Oil Trust, which has no tar
! if protection. A close second is the
anthracite coal trust. and there is no
import duty on anthracite coal. In
sugar and tobacco there are rival COM
blnatiOns which defend the public
against attempts to exact extortionate
prices.
The citation of these facts is not in
tended to have any bearing on the mer-
its Of the trust question. 1t is only in
tended To show that the Democratic
attitude toward trusts is merely poll
tical and tactical one, having solely
in view the arousing Of prejudice
against the protective tariff. A trust
in free-trade England is only a so
called" trust, and is harmless; while
a trust in protected America is an ac-
tual agent of evil. So say the Demo-
cratic organs. not because Of any gem
