TRUSTS THREATENING LABOR,
Reduction of Wages Held as a Menac
Against a Reduction of
the Tariff.

The threat of the trusts to reduce
the wages of their workingmen if the
tariff is taken off their productions
is an old tale and should deceive no
one. Reducing or taking off entirely
the tariff on trust productions would
have no effect on the surplus they sell
abroad and if the cost of what they
sell at home is reduced it should in
crease consumption here, and if that
is the case the factories will be run
ming full blast and the demand for
labor will be increased instead of di-
minished. Wages follow the law of
demand and supply quite as closely as
the prices of the articles made by
labor follow like causes.
1t is quite likely that the steel trust,
for instance, might shut down it's
plant if the tariff is removed from
its monopolies and its workmen re-
fused to accept a reduction of wages,
but it annot long remain closed or
the interest on its bonds would be
unpaid and a change of owners would
again take place, and it would have
to fill contracts already entered into,
which generally extend six months
head.

B R M'KAY'S CASE.

Rockbridge, No., June 24th:-The
neighborhood and particularly the
members of Rockbridge Lodge, No.
435, A. f. & A. NJ, are feeling very
much pleased over the recovery of Mr..
Ambrose Mckay, a prominent citizen
and an honored member of the Ma
sonic Fraternity.
Mr.. Mckay had been suffering for
years with Diabetes and rheumatism,
which recently threatened to end his
days. His limbs were so filed with
pain that he could not sleep. He was
very bad.
just then, someone suggested a new
remedy-Dodd's Kidney Pills-which
has been much advertised recently, as
a cure for Bright's Disease, Diabetes,
Dropsy, rheumatism and Kidney
Trouble.
After Mr.. Mckay had used a few
doses, he commenced to improve. His
pain all left him, and he IS almost as
well as ever. He says Dodd's Kidney
Pills are worth much more than they
cost. They are certainly getting a
great reputation IN Missouri, and
many very startling cures are being
reported.

RECIPROCITY AND ROBBERY.
Programme of Subsidies Fa-
vOred by MonOpolistfc Manu-


The meeting of the National Asso.
citation of Manufacturers at Detroit
appears to have been ~captivated by
the Hanna programme of ship SUBJ
| sides and reciprocity. They passed
resolutions favoring the subsidy and
took steps to call a general convention
for the consideration of reciprocity
treaties with foreign countries. They
also declared that tariff legislation
should furnish adequate protection
to such products only as require it
without providing for monopoly
abuses" That is something of a con
cession to come from a convention of
manufacturers. But it leaves plenty
of room for mental reservation. Who
is to judge as to the adequate protec-
ton and as to the degree of protection
which shelters monopoly abuses?
Each interest has always claimed the
right to judge for itself, and so long
as that right is conceded the abuses
| are not likely to cease. Neither reel
procity nor reform is likely to come
from the beneficiaries of protection
themselves.
That she meeting was packed in the
interest of robbery of the people and
its interest used to work on public
| opinion for that end can be judged by
what the Chicago Chronicle says:
The members of the American Man
u~facturers' association who at the
great banquet in Detroit screamed:
Louder" when a clergyman was Of
fering prayer and then laughed up
ro~ariously at the fun of the thing
were properly rebuked by the pre-
siding officer. No ear trumpets would
have been needed if the preacher had
been advocating some new scheme of
taxing everybody for the benefit of
somebody, even in a whisper. The lam
guage of prayer is quite unfamiliar
to men who look upon the tariff as the
author and giver of life, light and
lucre.

D CIVIL RULE.
Presidents Order Establishing Civil
Government in the Philippines
Issued Yesterday.

Washington, June 22.-Secretary
Root yesterday issued the order of the
president establishing civil govern
ment IN the Philippines. The order
relieves the military governor of the
Philippines from the performance of
civil duties on and after July 4, but
declares that his authority will be X
ercised as heretofore in those dis
tricts N which the insurrection still
exists. Mr.. William H. Taft. president
of the Philippine commission, is ap-
pointed civil governor, and will exer-
else executive authority in all civil af-
fairs in the government of the Philip
pines heretofore exercised in such af-
fairs by the military governor.

AS TO RECIPROCITY.
Makeshift of Trusf-pamperin. Re-
publicans to Mislead the
People.

The attempt of President McKin-
ley to reform the tariff by ~reciproc-
ity treaties was stopped by the
United States senate refusing to
ratify them and yet there is strong
evidence that the president win per-
sist in that line of action. Reciproc-
ity is a backhanded way of revising
the Dingley tariff that can be bet
ter accomplished by straightforward
methods. We cannot make a reci-
procity treaty with one country that
does not virtually make it apply to
nearly all the others This is brought
about by the clause in nearly all the
treaties, known as the favored ma
ton clause, which allows the same
rights and rates as the most favored
nation is given. IF a treaty is made
with Franc that allows certain of
her productions to be imported into
the United States at a less duty than
the rate provided in the Dingley tar
If, Germany, who produces the same
articles, under the most favored ma
ton clause must be granted the same
rate.
There is also another obstacle to
these reciprocity treaties, a constitu-
tional objection, that has not been
adjudicated, but is believed by most
of the constitutional lawyers to be a
bar to such legislation. Congress can-
not delegate its power to raise rev.
enue, which is a constitutional
province of congress alone, and such
revenue bills must originate in the
house of representatives, thus keep
ing the taxing power in the hands of
the direct representatives of the
people.
To revise the tariff law by max
ing reciprocity treaties is a make
shift that does not touch the protec-
ton granted the trusts and monop-
olies and those who advocate it are
attempting to still protect these
giant corporations. As the trusts
are selling their productions in Eu-
rope for less than they are obtain
ing from our own people, they no
longer need protection and their
products should be put upon a tariff
for revenue basis or even placed on
the free list that competition may
benefit all alike.

aEpuBL1cAnsF
Nothing 10 Be Done to Abate the Evils
of a Tariff for Monopo-
lists.

That the republican party does not
intend to legislate against the
trusts. however much individual
members may proclaim that it is
necessary. is shown by the evidence
of Hon. Robert Taylor, member of
congress from the Eighteenth Ohio
district, given before the industrial
commission. In his opening remarks
he declared that any attempt to take
the tariff off even trust-made goods
would be bad in its effects. The tai
if principle, he said, should not be
abandoned.
As a general proposition, Mr.. Tay-
Tor announced himself as opposed to
trusts. Il am of those he said,
who have not been able to bring
themselves in harmony with the idea
that the trusts are good things"
The trusts, he declared, put 90
much power in the hands of a few
men.
Speaking of dealing with trusts, he
said he knew of no remedy for hat
evil if it is an evil. Publicity might
be a good thing, but it would be a
! mere scratch on the surface. He
knew that a trust has power to re-
duce the price of an article, but he
did not think the public would get
much benefit from that. In order to
| pay dividends on securities of the
United States Steel company that
company would have to extract a
great deal from the public.
The witness said that apart from
onx- a+hnr r17nSfinn ha thnIIOht that
it would be exceedingly Unfortunate
to introduce any elements of unrest
in the country by discussing the tar
if in congress or opening up the
tariff for any revising.
Now Taylor is chairman of election
committee No. 1, and was selected as
such because he could be relied on to
do the bidding of those who rule
congress, and, being a friend and fol-
lower of the administration, his evil
dence makes it certain hat there is
mo remedy for the evil" as far as
the republicans intend to discover
one, and that even to discuss the re-
vising of the tariff sis to introduce
elements of unrest in the country"
If Mr.. Taylor represents the repub-
lican policy on the trusts and the
tariff. nothing will be done to abate
the evils.
He admits there is robbery being
committed, when he says the steel
trust will "have to extract a great
deal from the public" but he and
the large majority of protection re-
publicans intend to sit still and see
the steel trust and the other COM
bines "extract a great deal from the
public" A very cool proceeding on
the part of those who have been Sc
leeted as the servants of the people
to protect their interests.
The democratic position is entirely
the reverse of this. They believe
tina there is a remedy to prevent the
trusts from carrying out their plan of
robbing the people and that is to re-
wise the tariff by placing trust pro-
auctions on the free list except what
duties may be necessary for raising
revenue for the support of the gov
ernment-a tariff for revenue.
This will not kill the trusts, III it
will allow the "sorld to compete with
them by Withdrawing the protection
that now gives them a monopoly.

No Need of shin subsidies.

Hanna and the ship-subsidy pirates
claim that the subsidy bill must pass
tc build VI our merchant marine.
There has been steady progress in
s~hipbuilding in the United States for
several years, says the Birmingham
News. A tonnage of 1so,54s was added
to our merchant marine in 1898. 30O.-
e2s in 1899 and 393, 700 in 1900. In this
matter, too, statistics agree with gen.
eral observation. Shipyards in all
parts of the country are working to
their full capacity, with orders far
ahead, and new capital is being put
into the business. These facts go to
prove that the building and owning of
ships IN this country is a profitable
business, subsidy advocates TO the con-
trary notwithstanding.

PRESS COMMENTS.

Free trade with the colonies
and down with monopolies, is the
democratic war cry.
Mr.. Mckinley might have given
Grosveror the tip that he intended to
decline a third term. whose expert
ence led him to believe that NJ Ohio
man would decline, so he banked on
the major and got left.
Our manufacturers of agricul-
tural machinery think Secretary
Gage might have given them a chance
as well as the sugar trust. They
think they have as much right to
trade with Russia as the sugar trust
has to monopolize the home market.
What are the republicans going
to do with Nicely and Rathbone when
the Cubans set up their own govern
ment? Bring them here for trial they
cannot, and leave them to the tender
mercies of the Cubans would merely
result in dividing the swag with the
new officials.
The Washington Post says:
1.-THE people are tired of hearing and
reading about South Africa and the
Philippines" And well they might
be. for it has been a carnival of
crime that both the United States
and England should be ashamed of
and viii have to repent for in the fu-
ture.
The shipping subsidy is the
most repugnant form of protection.
No more ships will be built under it
than will be under present condi-
tons, for at the present time all the
ship yards nave orders ahead and
American labor in that line is fully
employed, and to pay a bonus to the
ship trust to run steamers purchased
from foreign builders would be the
height of folly.
-Whichever way we turn the
sugar trust c~onfronts us, and it seems
all powerful. Secretary of the Treas
ury Gage is its willing tool, and i'm
terprets the law in its favor by inn
posing co~untervailing duties on Rus
sian sugar.. This has cut off our ex-
port trade to that country. which has
imposed in retaliation fcS the aid
given the sugar trust an extra duty
of so per cent. on products of the
United States.

In a Tariff TangIe.

There is a very fair prospect that
the republicans are about TO split on
the tariff question. Not that Babcock
will be likely to head the division. He
has been too intimately associated
with the railroads, especially the
Pennsylvania, as chairman of the Dis
trict of Columbia committee when the
notorious land grab bill was passed
at the last session of congress and
millions in value of the government
land in the district was decided to
that corporation. There is a close
connection between the railroads and
the trusts, most OF which have been
made possible by special rates and
drawbacks. and Babcock is not the one
that will lead in fighting them. There
are otke- republicans who may not
have such entangling alliances, and
they will possibly insist on a reduc-
ton. But the main reliance must be
placed on the democrats who are COM
mitted to tariff reform as one of
their cardinal principles.

when informed of the assassination.
Mr.. Hoshi's services here Is minis

official circles. Before coming here
he was prominent in politics of his
country and on returning to Japan he
became a member OF the cabinet, scrv-
ing as minister of communication.
His official life in Washington and at
home was marked by vigor and de-
~cisiveness, and these characteristics
brought him much enmity in certain
political circles of Japan. This re-
suited in charges affecting his integ-
rity as a member of the cabinet, and
rather han compromise his associ-

his resignation, and began libel suits
