To think more sacredly.
Tho art; thy gift of glittering gold for

Me to be ever thus.

TRUST INTENTIONS.
The Overthrow of Labor Organize.
lions and the usurpation of
Every Right.

1t is evident that the trusts are in
tent on the overthrow of organized la
Dor. The steel trust has virtually dis
organized the Amalgamated associa-
ton and will doubtless complete the
job at the next attempt. 1t is an
nounced Officially that the presi-
dents of the coal carrying roads of the
eastern states have refused to con-
slider any proposals for a joint confer
ence with the officers of the coal min
ers' organization. The great coal
operators have decreed the death of
union labor as did the steel trust the
death of the Amalgamated %associa-
ton. However, in doing this the trust
officials are cutting from under them
the main support to their right to
own the coal mines and the steel fac
tories and the railroads. Having had
demands which they consider just
turned down-having been refused
even a conference with their employ
ers. what is more natural than that
these men should look for some other
method of getting a hearing?
After a careful investigation of the
ways and means they will learn a les
son from the employer-that of con-
trolling the law making and law en-
forcing bodies of the country. That
a majority shall rule is a principle
which we admit theoretically as right,
the employees are largely in the major
ity-hence they learn, and they are
being forced to learn that they have
the coveted power in their w
hands to turn the machinery of gov
eminent to their own advantage; they
will do it. And in doing this there will
be no infringement of the rights of the
minority-there will be no privilege
or protection granted to one class of
citizens which is denied to another, az
in the case to-day.

DESCRIBING T~ARIFFDoc1oRs
Not Feel So Kindly Toward
Reciprocity.

The Manufacturers association OF
Philadelphia has been so worked up
in its feelings about reciprocity and
tariff reform that it declares that
while favoring reciprocity, it ADAM
dons none of its protection views.
This, if it means anything, favors
both sides of the question, for OF
course there can be no reciprocal ar
rangement made with any foreign
country relating to the tariff with
out both parties make some eonces-
sion by reducming their respective
tariffs on commodities that they r
willing to admit for a lower rate, and
to that extent protection views have
to be abandoned. 1t is hardly to be
wondered that the manufacturers have
lost their bearings and hardly know
where they ire at on this subject.
The Protective league and the Homei
Market club on the one side are ding-i
ing into their ears that to ease up;
by ever SO little on the present tariff!
would be to abandon the whole the5
DRY on which the wonderful and sell
entific tariff has been constructed and
would soon bring ruin on it's bene3
iciaries. The manufacturers and the
trusts evidently believe this, for they
donate literally to the league to car
ry on the fight for no change. On the
other hand, they are told by the
champions of reciprocity that their:
markets must be enlarged or they
will not be able to dispose of their
surplus products, which, under the,
stimulus of protection and the enor-'
nous profits they are thus enabled to
make in the home market, have rap
idly grown beyond what our own peo-
pie can purchase. If no market il
opened for their surplus in foreign
lands, production must be reduced to
the home market level. AS both of
these schools of political economists
promise just the ideal conditions that
the trusts and manufacturers want,
they naturally favor both factions,
not seeing. possibly, what a ridicu-
lous position they occupy. There are,
however, some manufacturers and
others interested who do not fee SO
kindly towards reciprocity. For in
stance, the hosiery and knit goods
people of New England find that their
industry has been sacrificed by a re-
duction of 90 per cent. in the reci-
procity treaty with France. The seed
growers, with a like reduction, the
nut growers the same and the prune
growers with ten per cent, all of
whom declare will reduce their profits
by that proportion without any COR
responding advantage Or reciprocal
arrangement. These are the main
kickers at reciprocity, outside of
those who claim that the constitu-
tional limitations restricting the or
igin of all revenue lays to the house
of representatives is nullifed because
these reciprocity treaties are orig
mated by the executive. These tariff
doctors are certainly considerably
mixed, and withal they do not touch
the burning question of the tariff of
whether trusts productions that are
sold to foreigners cheaper than they
are to our own people shall be placed
on the free list. That is the democrat
ic contention, and some few anti
trust republicans believe So, too.

The inevitable result of the i'm

of the heads of bureaus of the army

demands are not compiled with. As
the army has been raised to a maxi

force largely increased by the last

beyond what is necessary, these de-
mands for a still greater increase are
pretty good proof that the democratic

So far as reciprocity is concerned,
1t is merely a makeshift and a COM
promise. 1t il free trade tempered
with cowardice. When the protec-
tionists of England saw that free
trade was inevitable they first let
down the ladder of reciprocity to en-
able them to escape from the burn

selves. Those who have followed the
free trade struggle in England know
that while reciprocity is a humbug it
is also a symptom.-Memphis Com
