Mr.. Montague covers the whole situation

Had the amendments been passed by the

We quote the eloquent words OF MI Mon
tague in this behalf:
But I consider the making OF Con-
stitution the highest expression of soFeT-
eign power, and, therefore, think that the
work Of the contemplated convention
should be submitted to the people for ratiff-
cation or rejection. And will favor no
plan which will take from the people the
right to pass upon the adoption or relec-
ton of a Constitution.

my opinion, requires such a submission"

Mr. Daniel, in his letter TO this paper,
could only say: 1T would be appropriate
for the work to be submitted to the rau-

uncertain language is to be regretted al
this time from Mr. Daniel. We had hoped
TO hear his eloquent voice alongside Of tina
of the brilliant Montague. as champions
of the peoples right to have submitted TO
them the alterations Of the Constitution for
ratification or rejection.

TRUSTS AND TARIFFS.

Eight years ago the late David A. Wells
wrote q vigorous article on trusts which
is just as applicable to-day as 1t was then.
In defining the word trust he says that
In the popular and political sense it means
combination OF the domestic producers
OF certain commodities 20 control pro-
duction and advance prices. kut he de-
ciares that no trust of this character,
operating on articles for which there is a
possible competitive supply from other
countries. could be maintained in the
United States for a single month except
under one of two conditions, either all the
competitive producers throughout all the
world must be brought into the trust, or,
what is the same thing, tl:c !rn;idct Of the
whole world must be controlled; or the
product of all foreign producers must be
shut out from the markets Of this country.
The first result. he says, is not attain
able. for it would be obviously inn
turers of starch, for example. in all the
different countries Of Europe to unite and
put the control of their business in the
hands of trustees residing in the United
States. But the second is made not only
possible. but effective in the highest de-
gree, by the imposition of tariffs or duties
on the importation of the articles in which
the trusts are especially interested SO
high as completely to oar them cut of the
American market.
There is no danger to this country in
trusts, unless the gor eminent
fosters and protects them by class legis-
lation. SO long as We follow the good old
Democratic doctrine OF making the GOV
ernnlcnt hold its hands off the private
business affairs of the country, neither
helping nor hirdering them by special
acts of Congress, there will always be
enough competition to give life TO trade
and the people will not be hurt by any
combinations that may be formed. That
is the true policy Of government towards
trusts and if that policy be pursued the
very best results in business and in gen
eral prosperity will be achieved.
