The trusts secured monopoly of
the chief business interests of the
United States by the aid of a protec-
tive tariff, but now that they have
control of the majority of the produc-
ing interests they drop the tariff like
a squeezed lemon. They not only
have no further need of protection, -
but they do not want small manufac-
turers to profit by the help they have
received. In other words free trade
with the gold standard will not only
allow them to hold the cinch they
have, but will enable them to crush
aspiring competitors more easily.
Watch the republican leaders all be-
come free traders before the conyen-
tionS of 1902.

The Kansas legislature found time
to- pass a bill making it misdemeanor
to steal a ride on railroad train. If
there is one thing more than another
which has caused widespread suffering
among the people it was that OCCASION
ally some tramp would beat the rail
road out of ride. We are glad the
people are now to have relief from
this oppression. Of course we get no
relief from excessive freight rates, but
what do high freight rates amount to
by the side of the suffering caused by
tramps stealing rides?- Mankato Ad-
VOcate.

Like Velvet.

Our readers will be interested in
knowing there is one medicine sold by
the druggist, J. L. Mccormick, that
possesses unusual merit. Krause' S
Little Liver Pills. They are a small,
purely vegetable, gelatine coated pill,
acting directly on the liver and bile
without the irritation aud gripping
common to most pills. They are gen.
tie and natural in their action, as soft
as velvet to all tender surfaces and a
positive unfailing cure for billiouSness
and constipation.

Progress of Henry George Idea.

If Henry George could only have
lived to see the time when the great
state of Colorado was seriously con
templating the adoption of a tax on
land values he would probably have
been willing, as was the just and de-
vout Simeon, to depart in peace.
A remarkable change in public SEN
timent has taken place since the I'M
known California printer put forth
his book, progress and Poverty"
more than twenty years ago. At that
time he was regarded as dangerous
man by all conservative people who
did not look upon him simply as an
idle dreamer. His opinions we're mis-
represented and his book was violently
attacked by many persons who had
not taken the trouble to read it. 1t
was popularity supposed that he advo-
Gated dividing up the land among all
the people. On this superstition a man
of straw was set up again and again
to be bOwled over cOntemptuOuSly by
scores Of magazine writer's.
Gradually it became known that Mr..
Georges plan was not so theoretical
revolutionary after all. 1t was found
to be simply a question Of taxation.
He did not favor a division Of the
land. He only urged that the value
of unimproved land arising from the
presence Of society should be taken to
pay the necessary expenses Of the
l. fo lo0i,
a socialist that he believed it was I'm
just to deprive man Of any of the
product of his labor. The present Sys-
tenn Of taxation, he pointed out, real
ly penalized the enterprising man
whose work produced wealth for the
community. His plan was to exempt
all the product of labor from taxation
and to make the ''unearned incre-
ment'' Of land values bear the whole
burden.
At the time of his death, four years
ago, Mr.. Georges doctrine had made
little visible progress in the United
States. He had won many converts,
but they had been unable to accom-
plish anything practical. OF late the
propaganda has received a powerful
impetus from the admitted failure of
the personal property tax. 1t has be-
come more and more apparent that
some change in the taxation system is
inevitable. The franchise tax has
come as the first break from the old
plan. It's theory is directly in line
with the views of Henry George. Now
Colorado has investigated the work
ings of the land tax in Australasia
and is contemplating introducing the
system. If it does so and the expert
ment proves satisfactory, other states
will be tempted to follow its example.

Notwithstanding the agitation stir

Notwithstanding the agitation stir
red up by Mrs. Nation the prohibitory
question does not appear to be figur-
ing to any great extent in the city
election. The waterworks improve
ments are occupying the center of the
stage just now-not that there is any
great difference of opinion as to meth
DDS among our people-but all are in
terested in securing an abundant sup
ply of water as soon as possible.

HE HERALD is not given to boast

THE HERALD is not given to boast

of correspondence this paper prints
from week to week. No other paper
in the county has as many points rep
resented, nor correspondents who
write more interestingly Of local news.
However there is still room for more,
and we would like to have a good live
correspondent from every township in
the county.

The legislature has again changed it's
mind and concluded that the marshal
and street commissioner should be ap-
pointed instead of elected, SO they can
be hiked out if they fail to move at the
proper gait. The mayor is also to APP
point the city clerk, and city treasurer,
hereafter. Appointment requires con-
sent of council.

PROBABLY KIDNAPPED.
Started for Church Wednesday Even,
 ing and Missing Since.

New York, April 2.-After yainly running out every clue the police be- came convinced last night that Willie Mccormick, Jr, a 10-year-old High Bridge boy, who disappeared last Wednesday night, is the victim Of a kidnapping plot. On Wednesday night two of the boys sisters were going to church with him when he found 1t necessary to return to the house Tor his overcoat He was delayed for q few moments. and the sisters walked toward the church. When he failed to rejoin them soon they walked rap idly to the church, both believing un- til they had returned home that he had decided not to go with them. As d matter of fact, he had slipped on his overcoat and started after. them. Police Captain Cannon, in discussing the case, said:
 ssThis boy was never known to be away from home over night His hab- its were good, and there had been nothing to drive him away from home. I am of the opinion that he is being held here in New York city,"
 Captain Cannon added that every section of the city and all points adja- cent to it had been secured during the last three or four days and nights, ana that this would be continued.
 Willie is the son of a retired florist living in Ogden avenue, High Bridge. The child has eleven sisters. His parents are almost prostrated from grief and anxiety.

PROPOSED REVISION OF CREED.

Knoxville, Tenn, April 2.-Rev T. De Witt Talmage, who is here, was asked his opinion as to the proposed revision of the Presbyterian creed. He said: My own firm belief is that the work will not be done by committed When the time is ripe some one of our great men-a man of heart and brain
 will step forward and read the sim pie article of what we now believe When it comes it will fire the hearts of men like flame and will be adopted instantly. I hardly think things will be ripe enough for this at the next general assembly. There is num- Der of our. great men who are as fully competent to promulgate creed as was John Calvin. Any creed that leaves in doubt the salvation of in fants or prescribes them for danlna- tion is defective. There is one clause in our creed which cannot quote yer batim, but which is to the effect that the destiny Of every member of the human race was settled ages ago and that no matter of belief, or. works. on the part of this or that Individual can change it as regards himself. Such g creed is too deep."

PROSECUTING ATTORNEY. Attorney Bauby Said to Be the Latest
 Aspirant.

Authority most reliable has 1t that Attorney. Charles Bauby is fishing for the office of prosecuting attor1ley i1 the city court This shows that Att torney Bauby has taken it to be fact that Mr Durant will be scalped by Judge Burpee for his alleged disobe1i- ence to the older heads of the repub- lican party last fall in insisting upon keeping the nomination for senator. MT Bauby claims that lie has more' right to the office than any other r6- publican in the city. He bases his claims upon the wel1-known fact that he did considerable work, but taking |teverything into consideration. 1t N doubted that, notwithstanding Mr@ Durnnt's wilfulness of last fall, that MT Bauby's claims should be gIven preference. It is 2. well-known fact that MT Bauby increased the repub- lican ranks about 200; at least thar he was instrumental in having that number of indifferent Italfans who were eligible for the franchise, take out final papers of naturalization. Hut it Is q question if they voted Mfr Baubys political colors. The result inclines many to the idea that they did not. Anyhow, he is determined to ascertain the strength N his pull with the powers that be

TEN DAYS TO APPLY.
Bucket Shop Men Will Have to Take
 Out q License.

New York, April 2.-The provision in the war revenue reduction act relat- ing to bucket shops is now in effect and the result of it's operation is awaited with considerable interest, especially in down town brokerage cir cles. The application of the law places bucket shop men ill the pe- culiar position of having to pay spe- cial tax and to acknowledge ill writ ing that they are bucket shop men, while the business of conducting a 1 bucket shop business ill this state is prohibited by q state law.
 Internal Revenue Collector Charles H. Treat said that so far no bucket shop men had applied for a license in accordance with the provision of the new law. They have ten days, how ever, ill which to pay the special tax and take out such n license. No off, cial rulings have yet come from Wash ington regarding the scope of the buck ct shop amendment
 There is some talk that the bucket shops may removeS their headquarters to Canada, where there is no anti buck ct shop law and no internal revenue tax. Agents i'll this city would still act for them; but all transactions would be by telegraph. The opinion is expressed that the present state and federal laws would mot reach such op- erations.
 An authority on the internal rev enue laws, discussing the bucket shop provision of the new statute, said that it would be applicable to the states and territories where no legislation against bucket shops exists, and would doubt less be of advantage in such localities as means of regulating their business. but that in such places as New York. Chicago and St Louis, where stringent bucket shops, license would be of doubtful advantage.

SUPERIOR COURT.
MT Miller Was On the Witness Stand
 at Press Hour.

The superior court, with Judge Thayer on the bench, resumed busi- ness here this afternoon at ? o'clock. The case of s. F. Williams vs O. W. +. Randolph, administrator, ct al, of New York, was taken up. This is suit to recover $3,5O0 commission for nego- tiating the loan made by Charles Mill Ter to Randolph < Gloves. The de- fense was that as MT M1Nar did not owe MT Randolph he could not be made party to the suit. The infor- nation held that he was the adminis-' trator's agent in this city. A deposi- ton by MT Randolph was then read showing that MT Miller was not indebt- ed to him.
 MT Miller was sworn Under cross examination he caused many q smile by his replies to Attorney Coles ques- tions. He said that of the $500. 900 he loaned Randolph x Gloves he paid off a note held by the Waterbury Nation al bank for $50, ,S25. 15; on note for. $3l .135.55 he paid the Citizens bank, and the rest he paid over to the firm named. That WAS $21S,Oo2.2S. MT Miller said lie could not recall to whom he paid this sum, as checks for such an amount was an every day transac- ton ill his business.
 Attorney Cole tried to show that many changes took place in the forma- ton of the Randolph Cloves Go and that in all of them MT Miller was lon top"
 Well, I don't know about that" said MT Miller with world of signln- canoe in his words. T can't say whether I'm on top or underneath." Alr Miller was the only one who did not smile loudly at this reply. MT Cole tried to show that Mir Miller's ob- Ject in loaning the $3OO,O00 was to pay eff the debts of the company.
 My object in giving the money.' was the reply, was to place it where 1t would make C. per cent.'' He was on the stand at press hour
 The defense is conducted by .Jndge Burpee and Attorney John O'Neill.

NO CHANGE IN THE STRIKE.
Boss Painters and Men May Come to
 an Understanding.

an Understanding.
 There is no change in the strike 1 question to-day and it looks as if there will not be for some time unless the houses that have refused to accede to the demands of the union change their minds. Those who have not yet given in held a meeting last night and talked the matter over pro and con. They would be willing to treat with the men on the basis of a nine hour day, but of course this is out of the ques- ton, for the union is out to win. One good thing about the strike is that there seems to be no bad feeling be- tween the men and houses where they have been employed, so that after all perhaps they may get together sooner than some people suppose and settle the differences i'll manner which will be acceptable to employers and em- ployes. 1t was said to-day that some of the firms have men at work, but if they have they are not doing much. Other houses state that they have not turned a hand in the painting business since the trouble started, and it is not likely that they will do anything un- til the thing is settled one way or the other. The men are about the streets, sober and apparently ready to go to work as soon as the difference is set tied. There is lots of work and in case the question should not be. straightened out soon some of the houses and a large number of men will be out considerable money. A com mittee representing the union and the employers should come together right away and straighten out the snarl as soon as possible. 1t is understood that some of the concerns are not op- posed to the demand made by the un- ion, but they feel a little sore at the strike being declared by the painters. They think they should have waited until the demand for the eight-hour day was general, so that those who deal in the business of painting would nOtsbe the only ones who would have to deal with it. But this is only a matter of method and in any case, 1t is only a few days off when all the other unions will make a similar re- quest, so that if the shorter day is coming, and it is, it might just as well take effect now as few days later. Let the workmen and the employers come to an understanding at once so that the women folks can go ahead with their spring cleaning. At present things in that line are almost at q standstill, and they will remain in that shape until the matter is settled, which it is hoped will not be long, The concerns want to do business and the men are anxious to work. All are after passing through dull season, and no one cares to be idle if he can help 1t.

FARMERS HAVE 4 STRIKE.
Those Who Supply Milk for the Boston
 Market are Kicking.


 Putnam, April 2-Farmers in north eastern Connecticut who furnish milk for the Boston market are not unani- nous in supporting the strike against the contractors, but ill several towns along the railroad line there has been quite marked falling off in the ship ment of cans of milk during the last few days. At Elliott station on the Midland division of the New York, New Haven and Hartford, where usu- ally 130 cans are sent to market daily, not one pas pit aboard the car this morning, and the farmers say they will stand out firmly against the con- tractors. In Hampton to-day less than 100 cans were shipped where usually 300 are sent.
 In this town, however, and in Dan ielson, and other places along the Nor wich and Worcester branch, the strike does not seem to receive active en- dorsement. Both here and in Daniel son the usual number of cans was shipped this morning. From estimates obtained at various other points it does not appear that the total ship ments of milk from this section have been reduced more than third of the usual amount.
