TRUSTS AND CHEMlOALS

The Baltimore Sun of Monday contains a
letter from Mr.. Byron w. Holt pointing out
the operations of chemical trusts. The
duties on drugs and chemicals, with few ex-
ceptions, produce, he declares, little or no
revenue, but they enable manufacturers to
form combinations and put up prices. Mr..
Holt states in his letter that the wood alec
ho trust is charging American consumers
nearly twice as much as it charges foreign
consumers. Its methods possibly are not
unlike those of the steel aud wire trust,
which, 1t was recently alleged, makes New
Workers pay Sab hundred pounds for
barbed wire, but lets the foreigner have the
same goods for $3.50 per hundred pounds.
A correspondent writing from the City of
Mexico states that the goods made by trusts
in the United States, sold by them to Eu
ropean purchasers and shipped from Europe
to Mexico can be boughtin Mexico cheaper
than 10 the United States. American farm
ers and dealers who have 10 give double
prices for trust-made goods are, therefore,
Few people imagine that a paris green
trust exists in the United States, but Mr..
Holt says that such trust has been in
operation for a number OF years and has
proved very obnoxious TO potato growers
II does not appear every year, but It puts
up prices whenever it feels like increasing
It's profits, thus rendering ii more expensive
for the farmer to kill potato bugs. Under
the Wilson Tariff act the duty was reduced
from % to 1874 per cent in response to the
demands of the farmers. The Dingley act
raised the duty to 10 per cent. This serves
the purposes of the trust, which about twice
in every three years, according to Mr. Holt
raises prices. But for this duty, he says
importers would carry large supplies and
would sell at figure which would enable
the farmer to get rid of insect pests without
bankrupting himself in paying trust prices
for paris green.

THE INFERIOR RACES IN OUR
POLITICAL SYSTEM.

1t will be observed that the Democrats in
Congress, most Of whom are from Southern
States, have proclaimed that, as soon as any
foreign territory is acquired by the United
States, 1t at once becomes an integral part OF
the Union, and that the people Of such ter
ritory Immediately become American citi.
zens, entitled to every franchise and benefit
which the Constitution guarantees If this
be considered and declared the meaning OF
the Constitution, and, therefore, the supreme
law Of the Republic, then it follows that all
the people of Porto Rico, including the
negroes and mongres and the Chinese there
and all the people Of the Hawaiian Islands
many thousands OF whom are Chinese,
and all the people Of the Philippines, who
are all Asatics and embrace the black, red
brown and yellow races OF that continent,
are to be invested with American citizen
ship and franchises.
There are, perhaps, twelve millions Of
these inferior and heterogeneous races, who
are utterly ignorant of American ideas Of
Constitutional liberty and entirely destitute
of the spirit and temper and mental charac-
teristics that would incline them to desire
to participate in American free institutions.
In the entire history Of the yellow, brown
and black races, they have constantly lived
under despotic rule and have never cher
ished hope or entertained an idea of a re-
publican form of government. Its real sig
nificance is but little understood TO day, but
il really seeks to admit to all the rights Of
citizenship some twelve millions, more or
less, OF people of the inferior races, many of
whom are savages, many more are rank bar
bsrians, and all are utterly unfit by educa.
ton and association 10 have any part 10 free
government.
Any proposition TO confer upon such peo-
pie American citizenship and American lib.
erty is the wild dream of enthusiasm not far
from insanity, and an experiment which
means not only the degradation Of the Amer
lean electorate, but even the destruction Of
American institutions.
When ii is considered that the population
OF the Philippines, Porto Rico and Hawaii
aggregates more than that Of the ten States
of Virginia, North Carolina, South Caro-
lima, Georgia, Florida, Alabama, Mississippi,
Louisiana and Texas, as given by the census
OF 1890, it will be understood what such
an enormous injection of people of inferior
races into the political system will mean.

tribunal designated by the constitution for
the determination OF contests for the Office
of Governor and Lieutenant Governor was
handed down in the Circuit Court at Louis.

A letter received at Frankfort on Satur
day by States Attorney franklin says that

According to the statement % men drew

men drew bean. The man getting the
black bean agreed beforehand to kill the
Democratic aspirant for Governor. Detect.

Saturday, refused to permit the local police
aud civil officers to enter the Executive
building for the purpose Of arresting Score
tary of State Caleb Powers and Capt. John
W. Davis, charged with being accessories to
the Goebel assassination.
The Executive mansion was watched all

The extent to which the Dingley tariff
weighs upon American industry is illus
trated by the fact that in the seven months
ended with January the importations Of
crude articles that enter into various pro-
cesses of domestic industry amounted to
$l69,O63, 962, or about $3OO,OOO,OOO year.
To the extent that these articles pay the
tariff tax to that extent American industry
is hampered and our export trade is OBJ
structed. 1t is evident that we cannot sell
abroad at low prices articles made OF ma
terals that have paid heavy duty.
