COMMERCIAL REVIEW.
General Trade Conditions.

New York (SpeciJ).-R. G. Dun &
Co.'S weekly review OF trade. says;
Business continues very brisk for the
season in the face of some drawbacks
which at times might cause marked
hesitation.
Bank clearings, however, show that,
while speculation has been heavy, there
must have been well sustained volume
OF legitimate business, for the gains are
I4I per cent. over 1900, and 1879 over
1900, outside New York, and 1880 per
cent. over 1000 and $40 over 1899 at
this city. Railroad earnings make
similarly encouraging gains.
Much unfavorable comment has ap,,
peared regarding the advance in steer
rails to $28. Yet the change is only IN
keeping with recent increases IN prices
OF pig iron and bilets. =.
After a prolonged period OF waiting
for definite crop news the cereal mar
kets suddenly awoke to unusual actiV.
ity. Much OF the increased trading and
sharp advance in prices resulted from
clever manipulation by a single West
ern Spectator, who compelled the short
contingent to cover May corn contracts
at the highest prices OF the season.
Wheat has risen sharply, partly in sym,
pathy with corn, but there was bad
.leWs regarding the German crop, and
some damage occurred at the West.
wool is fairly steady. and this is the
best hat can be said. Cotton responds
slowly to indications OF damage on
plantations, Tor the old crop comes INTO
sight freely, and heavy losses in British
exports OF goods and yarns do not
promise a vigorous foreign demand Tor
raw material.
Failures for the week numbered 2I5
in the United States. against 2o4 last
year. and 26 in Canada, against - laSt

Social Pests,

Only the other day an unhappy man
in a New Hampshire city shot and
killed his wife and then shot himself.
When dying he told his friends that the
mania to kill had been born in his
heart under the influence OF the gossip
OF f1eighbors. He knew nothing against
his wife, but the whispering OF persons
he belie,{ to be friends, and doubtless
who thought themselves his friends,
made him mad and he killed the woman
he loved
Were the persons who, as self-ap-.
pointed censors OF the private affairs OF
this man and his wife put into his heart
the black suspicion that grew until only
death could allay it, touched by twinge
OF conscience when the man and his
wife lay dead? The chances are they
were not, for the gossip seldom realizes
the evil done by gossiping. In many
natures proneness to gossip is so sadly
dominant that an idle tale about this,
that or the other one is ever on the
tongue. II may be true, but more often
it is OH half true, and sometimes not
true at all; and the person OF whom it
is needlessly told is never benefited by
the telling OF il.

Pointed Paragraphs.

A woman laughs when she can and
weeps when she will.
Women dislike to answer questions,
but like to ask them.
Mean time is the kind the average
bargain counter clock keeps.
There's honor among thieves-espe-
cially when they hang together
When beggar acquires fortune he
knows neither friends nor relations.
Never Judge man by his coat. He
may have borrowed it for the OCCASION.
But for adversely lots of men would
never find out whether they were hon
est or not.
It's difficult to convince the taxpayers
who foot the bills OF Congress that talk
is cheap.
The only reason why some people
never go back on friend is because
the friend won't stand for it a second
time.

Secret of Success.

A poor man in New York, who had
a wife and children and strength to do,
but no employment, hit upon the plan
of tying a placard upon his breast with
the inscription upon it, Il Want Work. "
He stood at the crossing OF thronged
streets until the attention of the passers-
by was attracted, and as a result got
himself situation He had been beg
ging for work for months, but until he
raade this mute appeal to the eyes OF
the mass he had met with failure. AT
last he fathomed the secret OF success
advertising. He artfully brought his
want and his ware into the market.

PASSING OF jobs r. rANNEK.

John r. Tanner has lived long
enough to know the full meaning OF
..man's ingratitude to man. When
in power with favors to bestow he
could depend upon the constancy of
his followers. Out of Office and be-
reft of power he could not command
the friendship of those to whom he
had proven d friend. The Rockford
Star holds that "there never was a
chance for him to succeed Senator
Cullom. He believed he had votes
enough, but nearly a score of those
who had assured him of their support
had secretly pledged themselves to
vote for Cullom. There was nothing
to hold them to Tanner. He was out
of Office. no longer had prizes to give,
and the changelings were ready to de-
sert the old banner and fight under a
new one. The orange had been
drained of it's sweets and thrown
away. A week ago John r. Tanner
was powerful factor in Illinois poll
tics. Today he is as weak as the
weakest. The remarkable machine
he had constructed is broken in
pieces. Its parts will be picked up
and welded into new machine with
Richard Yates as the chief engineer.
He is now at the head of the process
sion. How long he will stay there
depends upon the length of time
vouchsafed him to scatter favors
among the faithful, who will only be
faithful while there are plums in
sight.
at is the way with politics and
politicians. They are taught to
shout: The king is dead; long live
the king."'
But it is not so certain that John
Riley. like the proverbial feline, will
not come back.

REAL REMEDY FoR TYRANT TRUSTS

REAL REMEDY FOR TYRANT TRUSTS
There is one remedy for the most
oppressive evils of trusts upon which
the leading economists substantially
agree. That is the just and obvious
remedy removing from the tariff, as a
practical first step, the duties which
protect those monopolies. Publicity,
which is also generally recommended,
is something that will otherwise prove
extremely difficult to obtain; but pub
licity of a most valuable kind would
be secured by this first step. 1t would
eliminate from the investigation the
now unknown extent of which protec-
tion taxes foster trusts, at the same
time that it removed their power to
make orr people pay more for trust
products than their value in the
markets of the world; and it would,
by concentrating attention upon the
remaining causes of complaint against
trusts, help greatly not only to reveal
many features that cannot now be
clearly distinguished. but also to point
out what further remedies may be
needed.
This view is not advanced as the po-
litical capital of a party. 1t is held by
thoughtful men of both parties, and
by men Indifferent to party, but alive
to the needs and welfare of their coun-
try. Prof. John Bascom, of Williams
college, in a letter on the subject,
treats of the remedies for trusts in a
brief but striking manner. Among
the points which he makes is a DEM
onstration of the steps by which we
are proceeding to abolish competition.
Prof. Bascom says: 1.-The immedi-
ate purpose of protective duties is to
restrain competition and build wall
around the protected interests. We
start in excluding competition of the
foreigner. It is not strange that we
should pass on to an exclusion of COM
petition by our fellow-citizens."
Yet every sincere protectionist must
call to mind that, whenever protective
duties have been imposed, Increased
or retained in revisions of our tariff,
their principal Justification, and, in
deed, their avowed purpose has al
ways been to create or stimulate COM
petition in this country. Nothing is
clearer than that every protected in
terest which has entered into one OF
the com binations called trusts has
broken the promise under which il
obtained its tariff protection and
should be summarily deprived of it.
