1T no consideration whatever, and so
the resolution perished.
This is the third or fourth time that
a similar resolution in favor of direct
vote for United States senators has
passed the house and been killed in the
senate 1t is perhaps not overdrawing
the case to say that there is an over
whelming sentiment among the people in
every part of the country in favor of the
direct vote. That is to say, the sentiment
is so overwhelming that it overwhelms
everything except the United States SEN
ate The pride, the prejudice, the phleg
body to the wishes and sentiments of
the common people refuse to be over
whelmed by the demands of the populace.
If the voice of the people is the voice of
attention to the Deity. The senators
simply pay no attention to any appeal
which might affect the method of their
election and make the senate a more
1t is probable that if the senators were
asked for a reason for so persistently re-
jecting the proposition for direct vote
they would base it on the Elusive ground
of constitutionality. The senators are
strong on the constitution and constitu-
tional privileges so far as their own privi-
leges are concerned. They are great
sticklers for close adherence to the let
ter of the constitution when a question
arises affecting themselves. and if they
had applied their conservatism to ques-
tions affecting the nation there would be
no people battling for freedom against
the army of the United States, and the
Monroe doctrine would not be endang-

idea while it was under consideration
may be mentioned our own ancient con.
temporary and friend. the st. Paul
Pioneer Press; the inspired organ of the
Mckinley Hanna administration. the
Chicago Times-Herald; the New York
Commercial Advertiser, the New York
Tribune, the Philadelphia Ledger. the
Portland Oregonian, the Hartford Cour-
ant and the Dubuque Times.
1t would be feasible to supplement
this list by naming a number of the
leading Republican politicians of the
country who urged the adoption of the
policy on the Republican party. In these
parts the very extended and emphatic
support of the proposal will not soon be
forgotten. Mr.. Washburn is now can
did;lte for the Republican vice presiden-
tial nomination.
1t is now generally conceded that the
activity of given daily paper with
reference to the opera tons of the New
York ice trust is likely TO effect more
of practical character in showing how
the public may be protected against
these creations than lad been done be-
fore by all other agencies in that
particular direction. So, too, it is well
known to every Intelligent congressman
that the repeal Of the duties existing on
the products controlled by the trusts
would do more to give relief than the
adoption of all the constitutional amend
ments that might be adopted from now
till doomsday.
Right here in Minnesota we have
splendid object lesson furnished as to
the harmlessness of such procedure
Through the efforts largely of Ignatius
Donnelly, what is in effect an anti-trus.
amendment Of cur state constitution was
adopted in 1888. 1t is section 35 of article
of the state constitution 1t reads as
follows:
ANY combination of persons, either as
individuals or as members or officers of
any corporation, to mOnOpOliZe the mar
kets for food products in this state, or
to interfere with, or restrict the freedom
Of such markets, is hereby declared to
be criminal conspiracy, and shall be
punished as the legislature may direct"
What has been done under this amend
ment to prevent the combinations
against which it guards? What public
official or private individual is 1t that
has ever appealed to this amendment or
ever thought of appealing TO it for any
purpose whatever? WHAT has it effected
in the way of preventing combinations
such as it refers TO or combinations of
any kind whatever in commercial trans
actions?
No; the people voted in favor of that
amendment, probably just as it's authors
secured its submission to the people, un-
der the delusion that it might be found
effective for some good purpose. But like
alL4egislation framed in the same gen
cral ard abstract terms it has been found
Of no avail whatever. Tie terms of the
proposed amendment offered for the con-
sideratior of Buncombe county on Thurs
day in the house are identical in prir-
ciple with those of our own antitrust
constitutional provision. The sincerity of
the Republican brethren in congress may
be safely gauged by the result on COM
mercial combinations in this state of our
own constitutional amendment
