New Jersey has pawned a new in
FAINT industry in the Shelby Steel
Tube Company, with capital of $751;
000,000-a combination of the Shelby
Tube Company of Pennsylvania and
several other concerns, increasing the
capital stock from 100000 to $15-,
100000. OF this 100000 is in Z per
cent. cumulative preferred stock, and
100000 common. On this the earn
ings will pay z per cent. on the pre-
ferred and per cent. on the common
stock, which, on the basis of water"
means 16 per cent. on the original
capital, which was watered up to &c.
100000 from $5,0OO,000.

Democratic Doctrine.

We are opposed to Imperialism and
militarism, says the Utah Democratic
Convention. but favor commercial ex-
pansion and progress, not by force,
but by natural and peaceful means.
We are in favor of the kind of expan-
sion which Jefferson advocated and
practiced, and which is not ineompat-
ible with our form of government,
applying to contiguous or neighbor-
ing territory whose inhabitants are
fitted either Immediately or ultimate
ly to become citizens of the United
States. But we are opposed to wars
of aggression and conquest, by means
of which alien people are brought I'M
der our domination against their will.
Such wars. undertaken in a spirit of
commercialism, greed and covetous-
ness, bringing to us colonies and sub
jects instead of sister states and fell
low citizens, are directly antagonistic
to the idea that governments derive
their just powers from the consent
of the governed.

Uphold the Constitution.

The Hamilton royalists and the JET.
ferson Republicans have talked hours
once more, the former to destroy, the
latter to maintain a peoples govern
ment. Congressman James Daniel
Richardson, Democrat of Tennessee,
thus expounded Jeffersonian doctrine
on the floor of the House in the Porto
Rico tariff bill debate:
"The bill is framed upon the idea
upon the government of Porto Rico
unrestrained by the provisions of the
Constitution. This we deny. Those
of us who oppose this measure, | be-
lieve, without exception, maintain
that the bill cannot be enacted into
law without total disregard and vio-
lation of not simply the spirit, but the
express letter Of the Constitution.
The Louisiana territory, Florida, Tex
as, California, New Mexico Oregon
and Alaska have all been acquired
under our Constitution without jar
or strain to any of it's wise and benefi-
cent provisions and without any de.
mand for its amendment. Every foot
of this vast domain was acquired and
annexed under Democratic Presi-
dents.
''The Democratic party has always
favored proper expansion. Those of
us opposing this measure are not bas-
ing our opposition to it on the ground
that it is a measure of expansion.
This is not measure of expansion.
Whether the Constitution of the Unit
ed States is extended to the island of
Porto Rico ex proprio vigore or not,
1t must be admitted that when we en-
ter upon legislation for the island, as
Congress will do if it passes this bill,
that question will be put at rest, and
the territory will then be a part of us.
The control of the President and of
the military will have ceased and the
expansion as to the island will have
been completed. Legislation by Con-
gress for the island at once makes it
part of the United States. If this
bill passes it must follow that it is
then part of the United States. This
being true. the proposition which this
bill carries for unequal taxation of
the island as a portion of the United
States is the baldest form of imperial.

The Trust Situation.

The aims Of the trusts is to monop-
Ollie commercial products and regu-
late their prices to satisfy the de-
mands of their greed.
Statistics show that in the United
States the annual consumption of
staples and necessaries, except sugar,
tea and coffee, amounts to the enor-
nous sum of $4,5OO,O00, OO0 Upon
this amount within the past two
years there has been an average grad
ual increase of II per cent in price
over the prices that prevailed over
two years ago, and the tendency is up
wards. This increase, added to that
of the price of other goods, wares and
merchandise, such as woolens, leather,
dress goods, tin plate, building ma
terial, farm supplies, etc., more than
absorbs the total increase of wages
on every species of labor The in
crease in prices must come out of
wages, inasmuch as labor is COM
PEELED to purchase necessaries to
exist.
Laying aside all other sources of
profit, it is upon a weekly expenditure
amounting to $S6,346,154 by the peo-
pie of the United States for necessar-
les that the trusts are trading and
specializing and aiming to monop-
Ollie. That they are accomplishing
their object will become more and
more apparent as isolated facts are
aggregated to show the enormous
burden borne by the consumer. 1t
will be made plain that upon a ficti-
tous capitalization of $7.O00,000,0 900,
as Congressman Sulzer declared in
the House the other day, profits of
from so per cent, as in the case of
Standard Oil and Carnegie, down to
10 per cent, as in the case of the
National Biscuit Company, are wrung
from the people to increase the clutch
of the money power by concentrating
capital.
There are no ethics or sentimental
ity to be considered in the trust ques-
ton, it is the. brute force of mon
opoly, and the danger of irresponsible
power that confronts the American
people,

Our Financial Secretary,

Mr.. Lyman ]. Gage is engaged in
the pleasant task of attending bank
ers' banquets all over the west, and
talking platitudes which the Republi-
can organs construe into oracular
wisdom. At first blush an American
citizen might suspect that Mr.. Cages
place is at his desk earning his sal
airy; but the Chicago Inter-Ocean al
lays all fears that Mr.. Cages neglect
OF his official duties may cause a
stringency of the money market, by
explaining that he is generally of no
account. Says the Inter-Ocean:
zone day the Cabinet assembled
and the Hon. Lyman ]. was late.
After the President had waited some
minutes Mr.. Wilson, the hard-headed
Iowan, who holds the portfolio of
agriculture, became impatient. Final
ly, with wave of his hand toward
the vacant chair, he exclaimed: Mr.
President, don't see any particular
use in waiting for the Hon. Secretary
of the Treasury. Why not send out
in the blue room for his picture and
set it up in his place? 1t will do just
as we'll"

Free Trade to cure MononoIies.
