stock; no one doubts that this comes
from charging extortionate prices.
But has anything been done to stop it?
1t has built up its monopoly by the
aid Of railroad discrimination. Can
any amount of publicity do away with
that? 1t may be possible to prevent
discrimination in rates, but there are
other forms of discrimination that
cannot be reached, such as delays in
furnishing cars or delivering them at
the proper time, etc. As long as the
railroads are owned by private mo.
nopolies they can help or hinder a
business at their own sweet will, aud
in cases like the Standard Oil Co. and
the steel trust, where the owners are
also the controlling spirits in the
great railroad combine, they can har.
ass opposing interests until they either
quit the business or join the trust.
The talk of publicity will not scare
any but the ''wild cat'' trusts, espe-
cially when the talk of it comes from
party that places the welfare of the
trusts above the welfare of the people.

with the U. s. treasurer government
bonds equal to 80 per cent of their
capital and U. s. legal tender notes
equal to 20 per cent of their capital.
For this privilege the banks should
pay semi-annually one-eight of one
per cent on their capital stock, to be
used as fund for paying notes of in
solvent banks! The "benefits" to
come from this change are as follows:

about $500, 000, 600 additional bank
currency would be put into circula-
ton; the remaining s146, ooo, 900 of

Those republican editors who have
so loudly been advocating tariff re-
form for some months will now have
to take vacation long enough to col
lect their thoughts after the Jolt given
them by Roosevelt. Then we shall
probably hear them all shouting for
protection with the same vigor with
which they lately advocated reduction
Of the tariff. The democrats will then
most likely pick up the issue, using
the arguments that the aforementioned

WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER IL, 1901.
RooSEvELr'S MESSAGE.


President Roosevelt's message is a.,
interesting document, though its
length will probably keep the ma
jority Of the people from reading it.
The first subject, and the one treated
most thoroughly and emphatically, is
that OF anarchy. It Is denounced in
the strongest terms, and stringent leg
islatiou against anarchists is de-
manded. Roosevelt wants attacks on
the president and those in line for
succeeding him 1.-THE vice president
and cabinet members) made an Of
tense coming under the jurisdiction OF
federal courts. Strict regulations for
keeping anarchists out Of the country
are asked for.
On the trust question the president
is very emphatic in endorsing the
giant corporations as q business
necessity and good thing for the
country. But he wants publicity, 80
as to protect the investor from paying
out their money for watered stock.
he also suggests the possible need OF
some sort of regulation of the trusts
at some future time, but nothing must
be done that will hamper them in their
battle for supremacy in international
trade. This part of the message il
very satisfactory to the trusts, Jim
Hills paper, the St. Paul Globe, gives
this part an unqualified endorsement.
Roosevelt gives positive notice tina,
the tariff question must not be mon.
keyed with, because that would cause
apprehension and uncertainty IN the
business world. Reciprocity may be
allowed, provided It does not hurt
any American industry. Az it would
be very difficult to find any industry
that would not consider itself injured
by having its products included in q
reciprocity treaty, this part Of the
message is practically meaningless.
Mark Hanna's pet measure, the shir
subsidy bill, receives an indirect
boost. The president does not men.
ton the bill, but he says that Ameri.
can shipping Is under great dis advan.
tages, and among these he mentions
the fact that;many Of the foreign fas,
ships are snbsid ICED, and later on be
says that these inequsl lilies must be
|remedied.

praise, and elastic currency Z Is Ia.

The interstate commerce law needs
some amendments for the regulation
of railroads, but again the warning is
sounded not to do anything that might
interfere with the development and
oper alton of these commercial agen-
cies."
Forestry reserves, water storage
works and irrigation of arid lands
are strongly recommended.
Reciprocity with Cuba is recon-
mended. The Filipinos should be
given self-government as soon as they
are fit for it, but at present they are
not fit for even such measure of self
government as We have given them.
Franchises should be given to capital.
lists for the development of the natur.
al resources of the islands. A sub.
marine cable to Hawaii and the Phil
ippines is q necessity, and should
either be constructed by the govern.
ment or under government control.
The immediate construction of an
isthmian canal is urged. The Monroe
doctrine is re-affirmed. A strong navy
and efficient army are considered
necessary for the maintenance of our
new position as world power. The
efficiency of the army can best be eff.
fected by adopting merit system Of
promotion instead of the seniority
basis. The tribal relations of the In.
dams ought to be severed and each
one treated as an individual. II
should be the aim of the government
to give them an Industrial education
and make them self-supporting.

The Minnesota Railroad Commits
sion has given up the idea of going to
Washington to consult with the Inter-
state Railroad Commission. They
probably happened to think that there
were dead bodies nearer at hand. The
interstate commission was killed by

give the men in charge of it an oppor-
tunity to keep on drawing salary.
