ganization.

ITO be Of greatest use, should live in the
city In which the exposition is held. AS

son Mr.. Fish resigns, assuring the
Worlds Fair Company, however. that
the enterprise will have his hearty sup
port just as IL he remained on the Board
Of Directors.
1t is undeniably and naturally true
that the best Worlds Fair work must
be done by st. Louisans. Ability, ener-
gy, resourcefulness and masterful de-
termination must be backed by an in
tense civic pride which will admit of
only the highest endeayor for Worlds
Fair success. 1t is st. Louis and the
people Of st. Louis whom the Worlds
Fair will benefit 1t is st. Louis and

EXPECTED ACTION.

St Louis properly appreciates the
resolution passed by the Building
Trades Council disclaiming any sym
pathy with the Injunction proceedings
that have been brought by representa-
lives Of the "Workingmen's Protective
Association" to prevent the Worlds
Fair being situated on the western part
Of Forest Park.
While the disclaimer might be con-
sidered entirely. unnecessary, In view Of
the hearty cooperation which that or.
ganixation has extended to the promoters
Of the Fair. the definite word adds only
positiveness to the belief already held.

A MARKED GAIN.

A gross estimate Of the importance at
taching to st. Louis as a shipping point
may be gathered from the figures that
have been compiled by the Merchanes'
Exchange, showing the comparative
commerce Of the city for the six months
ending June 80 Of this year, and the cor
responding period Of last year.
The total number Of tons Of freight
received between January l and June
30, 1901, was s,545, 1872, while for the
same period Of the previous year 7,421,-
141 tons were received. The total tons
forwarded increased from 4,4S7, 47S to
5,S39,0S The percentage Of increase Of
freight handled in the six months of
1901 over that Of last year 10 nearly
seventeen. The gain over the same
period Of 1899 10 q per cent
That Is indicative Of the commercial
gain made by St Louis during recent
years. It helps to account for the In
creased bank clearings, for the activity
In commercial enterprises and for the
extension Of St Louis trade territory.

EXALTING HAMILTON.

1t is an improvement that the Globe
Democrat comes out SO blatanuy in de-
Tense Of the political theories Of Alex
ander Hamilton as opposed to those of
Thomas jefferson. The Globe is thor
oughly representative Of AIckinleyism
in the advanced stage.
Under the new spirit which has been
Injected into American political life by
the arrogant influences which control
the Mckinley administration. the issues
respectively typified by Hamilton and
jefferson at the birth Of the Republic
must be fought over again. Hamilton
stood for government by 4 privileged
and aristocratic caste. jefferson stood
for government by the people.
For the past 125 years the teachings
Of Jefferson have prevailed as inspiring
American government. The people have
been regarded as supreme. There has
been no rule Of superior" class over
the common people, the inferior class
according to the Hamilton conception.
During this period the United States
Government has advanced from the
rank Of the worlds weakest Power 10
that OF its strongest. At the same time
it has splendidly maintained the prin-
ciples upon which 1t was founded, the
corner stone of which was the American
belief in the might and majesty and
benefcence of government Of the people
by the people for the people.
In the past three years, however,
there has come an ominous change. The
Mckinley administration has sur
rendered the Government into the hands
of the trust caste, superior" group OF
plutocrats whose millions have been
gained from privileges necessitating the
sacrifice Of the rights of the people.
The result Of the war with Spain has
been to arouse in the breasts Of the ad-
ministration following spirit of con-
quest and of territorial greed which has
become most menacing to the true
American faith. 1t has been found by
the McKinleyites that the Mckinley
policies cannot be carried out If the JET
fersonian principles upon which the
Government was established are still
to be upheld. But the Hamilton idea Of
q Federal monarchy, Of strong CEN
tralized Government Of an imperial
rule by a privileged caste, Of the adop-
ton of the British system. fits the Nc
Kinley policies Of imperialism. mill
tarism and Capitalization Of power like
q glove. For this reason the Mckinley
ties are now striving with might and
main to discredit Jefferson and to e1alt
Hamilton in American eyes.
The Globe Democrat is doing It's best
for McKinleyism. It Is certain. how
ever, that its best will not convince the
American people that the teachings Of
Jefferson, under which We have grown
to be the worlds greatest Power, may
be wisely changed for the spurious
Americanism Of Hamilton

AGAIN THE TARIFF.

There Is good reason for Republicans
10 fear the ultimate effect of the reduc-
ton that has been made by the Wool
Trust in its price for all products COM
ing under its control. The reductions
range from 10 to - per cent. enough to
bring any competition to terms AS
This is said to be the real reason of the
lowered prices, the necessity of tariff
on WOOL becomes apparent to none but
those interested in the trust.
This is an object lesson in up-to-date
tariff manipulation that will not miss its
effect with the people. Is the wooden
goods industry to be turned over entire
ly to the managers of one trust? Are
they TO stitie all competition and take
all the profits that should be divided
with the consumer?
1t Will be hard 10 define the exact
benefit that any raiser of sheep may
secure from q tariff that permits one
commercial interest TO raise and lower
raw wool without any reference to the
supply and demand of the market. He
will be as completely at the mercy Of
the trust as the consumer.
The WOODEN industry of the United
States is not on firm foundation when
such an internal warfare can be waged.
The actual worth Of the wool cuts no
figure under the present arrangement.
The eXigencies of trust manipulation are
the highest consideration. Protected by
the tariff, there is practically no re-
course for either consumer or producer.
Republican managers will not fail to
see the practical result of this object
lesson. Tariff agitation will not down.
The rates now levied are wrong both
in theory and practice. Americans are
not content to have prices raised and
lowered by mere commercial whim.
There are laws of unrestricted COM
merce that must be followed. The re-
moval Of the tariff wall will alone facili-
tate that movement.

To-DAYs RUSH.

That rush today in the Kiowa and
Comauche reservations will be a novel
ty. It will be different from any that
has ever occurred in the history Of this
country.
As on previous occasions, the number
Of registrations for land greatly exceeds
the supply Of farms. Reports from
Washington indicate that about one in
thirteen Of those registered will be sue
cessful in drawing the privilege Of en-
tering q quarter section. With only 3D.
600 claims to be distributed, and 10000
or more persons registered, a small
army of Isl, 900 men aud women will be
disappointed.
Yet this disappointment can hardly
take the form of lawlessness that pre-
vailed in previous openings Of the public
domain. When horses and oxen, BIZ
cycles and trains had their mad race in
the opening Of Oklahoma and the Strip
the home-stretch was too often a bloody
one. SQuatter sovereigns frequently en-
forced their illegal claims at the point
Of Winchester. In some cases, each
corner Of quarter section had its &C.
cupant who claimed the right to the en-
tire 100 acres. Bloodshed was fire.
Quent occurrence To the strong was
the battle.
BY the new method, weak and strong
are ON an equal footing. Persons who
have registered may hear Of their luck
while at home. By far the greater num-
Der Of those who have registered are Of
this class, Kansas and Oklahoma fur
nishing the largest quota Of prospective
settlers. Thousands who are eligible did
not spend more than four or five hours
at FL Reno or Lawton, returning to their
homes without losing more than a days
time.
When the drawing shall designate the
successful ones, the submission Of the
ordinary legal proofs will enectually do
away with contests, either physical or
legal. Lawyers will not have as great q
field for action in the new country as
they did after Oklahoma established
itself as Territory. The new method,
while having its disadvantages, es-
pecially In increasing the number Of ap.
plicants. is far better than the old
rush" It makes for peace where the
law was formerly ignored.
