Hill, Ohio. and volunteered to help in
getting the papers.
The result is that three large boxes
have reached the library, filled with in

There are two ways open to the Re.
publican leaders in congress in which
they could effectually deal with the
more oppressive trusts with immedi.
ate result: They could abolish the
tariff duties behind which many of The
trusts find shelter and the license to
plunder. They could amend the in.
terstate commerce law so as to give it
effective yigor. The reduction Of tar
if duties would pull the claws Of
monopoly without taking the life Of
any established industry. Arming the
interstate commerce commission with
the power to compel obedience to its
recommendations, subject only to the
restraint Of the courts would prevent
injustices and Determinations which
are the foundation of some of the more
offensive trade combinations.
If there were any real desire upon
the part Of Republican leaders to curb
The power Of the trusts nothing would
be easier than to pull away the un-
derpinning upon which they rest. But
the trusts are the pillars Of the tenn
pie; when they shall 60 down the

We quote below a couple of para
graphs of leading editorial i'll the re-
publican Chicago Inter Ocean which
presents its party in its true condition
as now placed by the action of congress
and the president. 1t sounds as if writ
ten by a democrat and patriot, though
the paper will repudiate what it now
says as soon as the campaign comes on.
But is worth reading and remember
ing. Read:
For nearly two years republican
statesmen and republican editors have
told their party of the blessings which
American rule was to confer upon new
American territory. For nearly two
years the expansion policy of the ad-
ministration in Washington has been ex-
planned to mean the extension Of Amer
ican rights, American privileges, Amer.
ican institutions to the territory brought
under our sovereignty by the war with
Spain. For nearly two years it has been
the boast Of every man speaking for the
republican majority in congress and for
the republican president in the white
hou Sc that this country has set out, not
on career of European Imperialism, but
on course of territorial expansion in
strict accordance with the precedents
anH traditions and principles which in
the past have spread the union of states
from the Atlantic seaboard to the Pa
citic ocean and The Behring Sea.
"And now, in the turn of hand, al.
most over night, the people are asked to
forget it ALL They are asked, on the
verge Of a congressional and president.
iaT election, to ignore these promises, to
treat them as if they had not been.
They are asked to repudiate the doc
trines and policies in which their con.
gress, and to desert-basely desert
the platform on which they have fought
and won ever since the destruction of.
the Maine, and on which they were pre-.
pared to fight and win in the summer
and fall Of the present year.

1t is said that Presidents Mckinley
has told republican senators that the
Porto Rican tariff bill Is great party
question, and that it wonld be suicidal
to abandon the party position on it.
Well it is then mere matter of choice
as to methods of suicide, for certainly
the gigantic injustice of maltreatine
our insular subjects with an offensive
tax of this character will bring self
destruction upon the party guilty of it.
