DALzELL's NEW THEORY.
nneapolis Journal. Gnd. Rep.l

minneapolis journal. NlHu. hepJ
Congressman Dalzell, of Pittsburg,
where the trusts come from, depreeates
any modification of the tariff, because,
he says, that while we are striking at
the trusts in putting on the free list all
trust-made articles that are sold abroad
cheaper than at home, the fellow who
really gets hit is the small manufacturer
outside of the trust who may not be able
to manufacture as cheaply as the trust,
and would therefore be damaged. This
point Mr.. Dalzell emphasizes by stating
that that would not hurt the trusts, but
ii would hurt the smaller manufactures
and the wage Garner.
Mr.. Dalzell has evidently discovered
new use for the tariff, namely the pro-
lection of one American industry against
another This is a view of the tariff which
Mr.. DalZell should have copyrighted IL
is brand new. We have, so far as our
acquaintance with the tariff and its OPP
Grafton goes, never seen anything to JUS
tify the position that the tariff is main
tanned for the purpose of protecting one
American factory against another. MI.
Dal2ell's plea for high protection on the
ground that modification would hurt the
little fellows and not the big ones Will
probably meet with little favor. Ahherl-
can consumers will agee to discrimina-
ton in favor Of the American manutac-
turer under certain conditions, but that
discrimination must be against the Tor
eign manufacturer and not between home
manufacturers. We are not setting up
tariff barriers for the purpose OF MAIN
tanning industries in this country Whlch
NAV not be able to compete with other
industries in this country. If that sounds
like an argument in favor of the trust II
cannot be helped.
But that is not all. Such tarift dis
elimination guarantees no protection lor
the small manufacturer against the
smaller. When the market becomes 1T
tie dull and the foreign demand a little
slack tariff against the outsider Will not
prevent the big fellows at home from eat

WILL NEVER TOUCH THEM.

The Washington correspondent of the
Cleveland Leader says that the Depart
ment of Justice is making ga quiet in
vestigation to detarmine whether certain
great corporate combinations are operat-
ing in. contravention of the Sherman
Antitrust law. If it is ascertained
that the statute, has been and is being
violated, and the department can go into
court with sufficient evidence to make a
prima facie case, action will be institut-
ed to vitiate these combinations" We
are also told the trust question will
then resolve itself into "a paramount
legal issue and fought to a finish
Wonder who has been stuffing that cor
respondent? There is not ten-year- old
baby who does not know that this admin
istration is pledged not to do anything
TO hurt the trusts, and that as guarantee
that it will fulfill its pledge the Attor-
ney Generalship is held by distinguished
trust lawyer who believes there are no
bad trusts.
II there is any "quiet investigation"
going on, be assured it is for the purpose
of helping to strengthen the hands Of
the trusts. Hanna didn't take their big
contributions and promise protection for
the purpose of prosecuting them.
The trusts are not the least afraid.
They own the administration and the
courts, too.

LET us, therefore my friends, possess
ourselves of all the modern views, learn
all that may be learned OF machinery and
science and the laws of business and of
industry and apply them with aptitude,
with economy, with carefulness of bust
ness but never let us forget the tradi-
tions which have been most honorable to
our State and which will in the future.
as In the past preserve the liberty of the
citizens
We congratulate all those members Of
the Manufacturers Club who have not
bowed the knee to Baal, who believe
in the principles of justice and equality,
and who are not ready to recant all their
political beliefs in the hope of getting a
share Of the Doodle from protection, sub
sides and the like, that they had the OPP
portunity to hear the utterances of North
Cardinals Governor who favors trade eX-
pansion without subsidies, enlarged bust
ness enterprise without special privileges,
education without class distinctions, and
who advocates the broadcast liberty of
thought and action without using it as a
cloak to preach Republican doctrine. His
speech is a wholesome and vigorous
speech for progress and independence, free
frsm the sham progress and independence
preached at Charlotte by McLaurin and
at Athens by Emory Speers. Henry G.
Turner tore Speer's speech to tatters and
Governor Aycock didn't leave grease
spot of McLaurin's defense of Mckinley
ISM And neither Mr.. Turner nor Cover
nor Aycock attempted any reply to either
OF these new school apostles of liberty
who know no door to independence that
does not lead into the Republican party.
They merely asserted with faith and
power the time honored doctrines. Before
the plain statement of these old truths,
the plausible presentation of sophistry
and special privilege cannot stand!

WHAT BEAT SWANSON

The Washington Post says: 1T is too
bad that the Claude Swanson guberna-
torial boom was not equipped with patent
couplers and modern vestibule.''
That was its trouble. The people knew
that Senator Martin was the railroad
candidate when he beat Fitz Lee, and they
thought he was trying to railroad Mr..
Swanson into the Governorship. The de-
feat OF Swanson is attributable to a
determination of the voters Of Virginia
to put an end to Martins political domi-
nation. They want no government by
railroads. The day OF corporation gov
eminent in the South is about ended.

CANCERS CURED.

The following clipping from the 'Relig-
ious Herald" of Richmond. Va. under
date of June 10th, concerning the KEEL
LAM CANCER HOSPITAL" of that city
speaks for itself:
ut has been our privilege to visit from,
time to time this hospital, and We have
been impressed with it's neatness and
homelikeness, and also with the manage
mcnt of the institution. One OF the first
questions which arise generally, in read
ing advertisements, is: Is this trust
worthy?' We have to say this concerning
the Kellam institution: 1t has made Won
derful cures of what was pronounced ag-
gravated cancer. We met lady in
Lynchburg recently who expressed herself
in the most grateful terms concerning
the complete cure the Kellam treatment
made of her, several years ago. This is
only one of many that could be named,
and of a number that have come under
our notice. DR.. Kellam makes no claim
to infallibility. There are cases which
come under his notice which he does
not guarantee to cure; but there are
many others which he will guarantee to
cure; and if he gives you guarantee,
he will cure or make no charge. But,
if he thinks your disease will not yield
to his treatment, he will tell you SO
frankly in advance In all our business
relations with Dr. Kellam, we have found
him to be a straightforward, upright,
Christian gentleman His hospital faces
the capitol square, in Richmond, which
is particularly attractive and beautiful
at this season of the year
Especial attention is called to Dr. KEEL
lam's advertisement of HKellam's Hos
pital," for the cure of cancer, which ap-
pears elsewhere in this issue.
