CHINESE AWAKENING.

The New York P~ess devotes one col
umn of its editorial page to a justifica-
ton of the attempt to subjugate\ the
FiIipinOs. In another column it pro-
tests against the dismemberment of the
Chinese empire on these grounds:
Up to five years ago there was a
spirit of Indifference among the people
of China as to whether they retained
their national independence. Recent
developments, says the Press, have
shown a change in Chinese sentiment
which entities the people and the gov
eminent of China to favorable consider
alton.
These are the facts which drive
home the question" says this New
York organ of the administration. IF
the Chinese have acquired that patriot
ism, the want of which was the chief
excuse for the ACKNOWLEDGMENT of their
empire, why should their empire be dis
membered? This is a question which
must be considered entirely aside from
that of punishment for the massacre of
foreigners. which, though overshadow-
ing, is, after all, incidental. If the
Chinese have shown themselves cap
able of fighting for a country, why
should they not be confirmed in the pos
session of that country? Have they not
stood at Tien Tsin and on the road to
Pekin the supreme test of nationality
Is the Press entirely consistent? If
this applies to the Chinese, why doesn't
it apply to the Beers? And if it ap-
plies to the Beers, why shouldn't it APP
ply to the Filipinos?

The Columbus Press-Post relates that
the first European nation to commit
criminal aggression in China was
Great Britain. This was done to open
the Chinese empire to the opium trade
for the benefit of the British colonies
in India. The Chinese had found the
use Of opium ruinous to their people.
and had therefore enacted stringent
laws against it's importation. and ac-
cord.nglv. their customs officials seized
and DESTROYED q large amount of the
drug found on British ships in the har-
Dor of Canton. For this justifable act

LAS GOES NEW YORK"

The New York Mail and Express pre-
sents an array of figures and facts
TO which it invites the attention of
every earnest supporter of the admin
istratiOn. These facts and figures show
that Mckinley and Roosevelt have a
slim chance to be elected unless the
fears of friends of the single gold
standard can be sufficiently aroused to
overcome the apathy that the policies
of the administration have caused in
other directions and with other ele-
ments. But the Mail and Express
voices the hope that the Hanna ticket
will carry the state of New York any
how.
The Chicago Times-Herald has seri-
Gus doubts OF the ability of the Re
publican tickets to carry the Empire
state in the coming election. it pre-
diets revolt against Tom Plat, who
has boosted Roosevelt out of the
way of local corporations and rascals."

from which men are never again heard
except in case of an accident.
And the New York Tribune shares
these fears of its Chicago contempo-
rary and says: For the benefit of
those optimists who scout the posi-
bility of New York's going Democratic
this year let rs recall the history of
its presidential eccentricities during the
last generation. New York gave its
electoral vote:
To Seymour over Grant in 1868 by 10000
plurality.
To Grant over Greeley in 1872 by s.. ASS
plurality,
To Tilden over Hayes in 1876 by a2,742

LOOK OUT FOR "DRUMMERS. F"

Political prophets should not forget
the commercial travellers. They have
eaten the trust pudding. ASK them
how they like it.
Four years ago the bulk of the trav-
cling mems vote went to Mckinley.
They were thoroughly organized, and
every one of them, as he travelled from
one place to another, was a more or
less active propaganda. Many a small
merchant depends on the regular Wis
it's of these keen, alert, sociable hust-
lers for trade to give him the latest
gossip and opinion, and the drummer"
has a potent influence. Some persons
declare that it was this influence that
elected Mckinley.
But times have changed. Fostered
by the Republicans, countless immense
combines and monopolies have sprung
up and waxed fat and arrogant. En-
ployees, particularly travelling men,
have been discharged by dozens, scores
and hundreds, until it is almost i'm
possible to estimate the number that
must starve or get into some other line
of work.
''The buyers must come to US now"
they are informed.
Those on whom the ak has not yet
fallen are no fools. They see in the
handwriting on the wall what must
come if a party is not placed in power
that will curb the trusts.

travellers and the ex-travelers next

CONCERNING TRUSTS.

Bingham, Utah, July 26.
Editor Salt Lake Herald:
In today'S Herald there was an article
headed "A Trust Object Lesson" which
related sad occurrence. A young man
of brains and education, once the faithful
employee of A trust. is now a waiter in
restaurant. Through jealousy he was
discharged by the trust which meant
that he could not obtain employment any,
where in that line OF business The pur-
port of this article is evidently 10 show
that trusts are a menace 10 society, is 1t
not?
Now have several questions TO ask
First-Are not all trusts a menace to
society in the same way2
Secondly what method do you pro-
pose to abolish this great evil2
Thirds ii not fact that the trusts
have some good qualities?
FOurth-DoeS not the trusts method of
production greatly cheaper production?
And. economically speaking. is not this d
Fffth-Would not public ownership of
those institutions eliminate the evils Of
the trust. without losing any of its good
qualities? JOHN t. OSBORN,
Bingham, Titan.
All so-called trusts are a menace
to society to the extent that they re-
duce the opportunities of the young
men of the nation.
great evil" We do not know that this
IS possible. But, in the event that Will
liam ]. Bryan is elected president and
the Democrats secure control of both
houses of congress, we hope to see the
trusts power to work evil curtailed by
the following methods: First, enforce
ment of the present stringent anti
trust law: second, the enactment of
such additional legislation as may be
needed to strengthen the present law;
third, the removal Of all tariff prOtec-
ton from such trusts as are enabled to
mOnopolize the American market
through the operation of the protective
tariff.
s-Possibly, but we have not diseov-
cred them.
1.-The trust method cheaDens pro-
duction, and at the same time advances
the cost to the consumer. so it is the
trust that reaps the benefit, and not
society. The result is further enrich
ment of the classes and further impov-
erishrnent of the masses.
5-The desirability and effects of pub
lie ownership are questions that are
receiving the attention of the best
thought of the nation. Public owner
ship of monopolies would certainly re-
move many of the trust evils of today,
and might possibly create conditions
equally obnoxious. Public ownership
cannot come until the people are will
ing to accept the principle of state So
cialism, and to advocate something
that the people will not now accept is
not the most direct way to reach the
trusts.

''OuR EMPIRE.

One of the leading newspapers of the
east recently published the following;
Our authorities in the Philippines
have been sending to school superin-
tendents in this country circulars be-
ginning thus:
Omitted States Military Government
in the Philippines, Department
Public Instruction.:
"a department Of public instruction
for the Philippines has just been
established, and write to ask if you
can aid us in the civilization of this
new part of our EMPIRE by sending
such reports, bulletins, school laws,
ETC., now or to be issued, as you may
have for distribution"
No Mckinley official nor Mckinley
organ has denied this statement, and
every one knows it would have been
promptly denied were it untrue.
And yet there are newspapers SO
blindly partisan that they see no symp-
toms of empire, no approach of i'm
perialisln.
The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1900-07-30

congratulated that such is the situa-
ton.
Mr.. Echnor. the Republican candi-
date for district attorney, is a genial.
easy going gentleman, who is extern
sively Lnown as a politician and hard
ponent on the Democratic ticket has
earned a high reputation as an attor-
ney, rather than as politician. The
Office is one of great importance, and
public interests demand an incumbent
of rare legal capacity and attainment.
Hence we believe that Mr.. Hampstead
will run ahead of his ticket.
