COMING WAR ON THE TRUSTS.

There is a general agreement on the
part of the commercial and trade jour
nails of the country that as the trusts
have antagonized so many established
interests they are sure to be vigor-
ously attacked when a period of bust
ness depression sets in if not before.
| Already q movement is on foot to strike
at the big IRON and steel combine by
putting the products it controls on the
free list On this point the New York
Journal of Commerce remarks that
reconstruction of the tariff upon a
revenue basis "would overthrow the
artificial basis of commercial values
established by protective duties and the
'trnsts' wonld have to compete with
the cheapest markets in the world; in
which case what would become of the
mechanism for controlling prices on
which these institutions are so largely
depending ? The perpetuation of the
present tariff is wholly dependent on
public opinion, and there Is no mistak-
ing the signs that popular sentiment is
fast coming to the conclusion that, for
the United States, protective duties
have already done their work. IF to
this conviction is added the popular
motive of deprivIng the trusts of the
support of the protective policy, there is
nothing more probably within the
range of federal politics than that the
next election will be run upon the issue
of an antitrust tariff At this point,
therefore, the system stands seriously
exposed to check, if not overthrow
Many of the leading independent
newspapers are predicting that the
present high protective tariff cannot be
maintained much longer by the Repub-
lican party, and the party will either
have to abandon 1t in obedience to the
popular demand or be d1sastrously de-
feated when it again goes before the
people for Endorsement. It has been
observed that apart from the grave
economic question which is involved in
the existence of great industrial combi-
nations, the people are beginning to
fear that these immense consultations
of capital will endeavor to use the
power they unquestionably possess to
control the federal government and dl-
rect It's policy, not for the general well
fare, but in the interest of and for the
furtherance of the schemes and amb1-
tions of the plutocracy The wal
against the trusts cannot be DELAYED
much longer, and it will begin with the
movement to tear down the tariff wall
behind which the combines entrench
themselves and plumber helpless con.
sumers. In the struggle certain to en-.
sue the power of the people will be
pitted against the money power, and
victory will rest with the bone and
sinew of the land-the toiling masses
who produce the wealth of the country
which the trusts are now absorbing.

Don Carlos SIN a Clatmant.

tender, arrived here today on board the
steamer Laos, from China. He declared
it untrue that his father had abdicated
his claims TO the Spanish throne in ia

home, not to talk over the political sue
cession, but to rest from the fatigue OF
the campaign in the province of Pc

THE RICHEST MAN.

Pierpont Morgan is quoted as saying
that Andrew Carnegie is the richest
man in the world Mr. Morgan ought
to have some knowledge of such
things. Probably nobody known who is
the richest man in the world, in the
sense of money and property holdings.
Statements as to the wealth of this or
that man are seriously accepted by
the general public as though they were
absolutely authentic Men of large
wealth do not inform the public as to
the amount of their PROFESSIONALISM
nobody else really knows. When a
mans wealth reaches as much as $780,
900 il is apt to be increased by the
simple alchemy of the gossiper to
$500. 900 or $780, 900 Mr.. Rockefel-
ler's wealth is daily quoted in figures
by irresponsible persons, and the fig
uEoS are cuduScO Will odCu dAAOuACO-
ment. The average reader of the aver
age yellow journal thinks he knows
how much Mr.. Rockefeller is worth,
what Mr. Morgan's income is or how
much Mr. Carnegie owns But he
doesn't, When Queen Victoria died
there were published various reports
as to the amount of her private for
tune, some of these placing it as high
as $50, coo, 900 1t was hardly one-tenth
of that sum. If a statement we're to be
made to the effect that Mr. Rockefeller
is worth s., 900, 900, 900 there are thou
sands who would believe It, The matter
of a few ciphers added to such state
ments does not stagger the credulous
who like to read about them.
