It is tbe people, the consumers. who pay the prices which make these staggering trust profits poss- ble. They are taxed ia exact pro- portion to the big dividends de- eIared on trust stocks. They ean- not help themselves. They must buy the nccessaries of life from the trusts because they are obtainabIe nowhere else. Advocates of the trust idea contend that trusts eheapen the cost to the consumer. And yet make such profits as ai- mosl to double the fortunes of trust magnates in one year: It will repay the American people to eah- template this contradiction and 10 inquire more closely into the work ings of the trusts and what the trust idea means to eonsumers.- Republic.

by the commission The eommis- sion is composed of two capable lawyers and one excellent business man. It has an expert clerk, well informed in matters pertaining to the railroad business. They are men who may be depended upon to protect the interests of the state. They have already all the powers that can be conferred on them by law for the full discharge of their duties. IL would seem that at least a yefy large part of the measures affecting the railroads that have been considered by the assembly embrace subjects that ought to be handled by the com mission. The people have been told that they have a tribunal be- fore which they can appear for the settlement of all differences be- tween themselves and the common carriers; the railroads and express companies have the right to appear and present their side in any con troversy that may arise between them and the public or between each other. We have all agreed that the railroad commission shall have Il full and fair trial. It would seem, therefore, only just to both the common carriers and the peo- pie that most of the remedial legis- lation proposed in the assembly should be settled by the eommis- sion, the tribunal which was ere ated to settle it.-Democrat.

TRUST PROFITS.

That is q significant object les son in the workings of trustism which is found in the recent deela- ration of d 20 per cent dividend by the Standard Oil Company presumably a quarterly dividend and the showing of the enormous profits made by that giant monop- oily,
 This dividend means the dis bursement of gains amounting to $2o, ,ooo. GOO. and has sent the Standard Oil stock up to sSI5 per share, with belief that it will reach sI,ooo per share during the current year. In the course of the twelve months just closed, there were four 20 per cent dividends. Rockefeller and his associates al- most doubling their fortunes.
 From this exhibit it is easy to see that monopoly is most ex- cellent thing indeed for the mo- nopolists. There k no legitimate business outside of the trust field which can be made to pay such  golden profits as warrant an annual dividend of So per cent on the cap ital invested. This dividend is possible only through monopoly, control of products, output and prices which is made absolutely complete by the elimination of competition. There Is small wond CT that American muItimil6onaires are eager to extend and perfect the trust system until the whole field of commerce and industry in this country shall be monopolized.

RAILROAD LEGISLATION.

The advocates of q railroad com mission as an argument in favor of the commission claimed that it would do away with necessity for so much railroad legislation at each recurring session of the assembly. This work of regulating the roads, such as fixing tariffs, preventing discrimination and overcharges, looking to the comfort and safety of passengers. and generally the protection of the interests of the people, would be turned over to railroad commission. Thus the legislature would be saved the time and expense incident to legislation on these matters. The Democrat did hot believe that this would happen. It did not believe that the creation of the commission would in any way lessen the amount of railway legislation, and time has showed that our position was correct There was never Il session of the general assembly in which more railroad bills were in. troduced and discussed than the present one. Many of these meas ures. too. relate to subjects that ought to be and could be settled

THE DECLINE OF COTTON.

The Liverpool correspondent of the Manchester Guardian, un- der date of Jan. 19, undertakes to oeXplain the cause of the recent decline in cotton.
 The market has declined this week, he says partly from tendency toward increasing crop estimates, partly from the con- sequent disappointment of bulls and partly from more general and more immediate consider ations of the outlook. There has been nothing in the Man chester reports to cause de cline. The trade has bought freely, and news of more bu>i- ness doing has been coming to hand during the week In fact, Manchester news has been of a character which has often on previous oCS'tSiotlS SuiiS1u tO cause an advance, or at least to impart chcerfulness and animal ton, and to fully sustain values. That 1t should have failed to do so this time has puzzled and dis couraged bulls, and has seemed to call for some reasons in ex- planation which have not been apparent. or at least have not been in any sense obvious. Why prices should decline on q good Manchester trade, q serious un- eertainty as to the size of the stop and the knowledge that is gs'.lo probable case can there be

FINANCIAL SITUATION
IS CAUSING ALARM

Manila, Dec. 1.-The financial sltua-
ton in the Philippines is causing con-
siderable alarm. In an interview pub
lished in Manila, Henry c. Ide, chief
OF the department of finance and JUS
tice. referred to the probable enforce
ment of an alteration in the immediate
future Of the present government pari-
ty of two Mexican dollars for one gold
dollar.
The United States postofice here now
refuses, except to government employ
es, to issue money orders in exchange
for Mexican silver. The banks of Ma
Mia have been making from six to
eight per cent on exchange. Merchants
and others are forced TO carry their ac-
counts in Mexican silver The CONNER
cial community had relied, upon the
Unitedk States Philippine commission to
continue the situation Of the two Mexi-
can dollars for one gold dollar which
the commission itself created.
The commission, unfortunately is I'M
able to act in the matter without the
authority of Congress. This authorize
ton has been requested. Charles A.
Coant, special commissioner of the war
department to Investigate the state of
coinage and banking in the Philip
pines and report to the secretary Of
war recommendation for remedial leg
islation, Is the bearer of the ommis-
sion's views on this matter.
The stores Of Manila are compelled
to accept two Mexican dollars for one
gold dollar, while Chinese spectators
are paying as high as six per cent pre-
MUM in American paper money for
; American gald.
Local bankers say that Il the salaries
Of all insular employees We're paid in the
local or Mexican currency, independ-
emily Of the fluctuations Of this curren-
cy, and if the government had not at
tempted to enforce a rate of exchange,
the present financial situation would
never have arisen.

The Phenomenal Decline in Copper
is Taken in London, to Indicate
That American interests Are
About to Relax Their Grip
BREAK IN SILVER IS
ALSO EXPECTED SOON
As a Result the London Stock Ex-
change Has Been Anything But
a Cheerful Resort the Past
Week-Money Has Been De-
CidedIy Tight

London, Dec. During the past
week the stock exchange has been
anything but a cheerful resort. Money
has been decidedly tight forcing Dor
rowers to recourse to the bank. For
tunately the government disburse-
ments have been larger for this week.
France also shows a disposition to in
crease her balances in London, while
the hope is expressed that further
gold will be forthcoming from New
York But with the approach of the
new year and a large slice Of the last
loan soon due, there is small hope of
easy money before well into January.
In the meanwhile bushes is as stag
nant as ever The industrial situation
is decidedly bad. The Welsh miners
who have been stopping work in the
blind hope of raising prices by restrict
ing the coal production have merely
succeeded in irritating the owners, who
now threaten a lockout, while the re-
ported uncertainty of the Welsh situa-
ton has thrown numerous steam coal
contracts for Great Britain and France
into the hands of German and AmeH-
can competitors.
The COPPER situation is enveloped in
as uluCH lllg0lClg do II mas BIN4A Iva
months past, and there is a feeling in
the air that unfavorable developments
are imminent. Silver is closely allied
to copper, and the present phenomenal
decline in copper is taken to indicate
that American interests, which are
here believed to have been maintain
ing artificially high prices, are about
to relax their grip. A sharp break in
both metals is possible.
It is only fair to say that such
gloomy views are largely based upon
the differences of spectators, and are
probably intensified by the general
discomfort in the industrial outlook
and the never ending war in South
Africa.
The situation in Germany adds a
certain encouragement. While it is be-
lieved here mat the worst of the Ger
man financial crisis is over, the pres
ent industrial stagnation in that coun-
try supports the theory that numerous
smaller failures are bound to be re-
ported at intervals for months to
come. Such an outlook is scarcely en-
couraging for promoters. There are
rumors of a new German loan, and it
is said in some quarters that the ru-
mored loan will probably be issued in
February.
