BULWARK OF TRUSTS.

Prof. jerks of Cornell university is
a Republican and & protectionist, but
he is not mentally blind In a recent
essay on the relation between the tariff
and the trusts, he frankly admits that
the Dingley tariff is the handmade,
If not THE mother of trusts as Have
meyer, the protected sugar monopolist,
openly stated before a congressional
committee. These are net the only ad-
missions made by prominent Republi-
cans concerning the effects of the tariff
as the bulwark behind which monopo-
lies and trusts are entrenched. while
ago Commissioner John A. Kasson, the
able man selected by President Nc
Kinley to negotiate reciprocity treaties.
declared that the Dingley tariff could
not have been passed but for the argu-
ment that its harsh and malignant
features would be mitigated by treaties
of reciprocity; and yet while many of
have been written and signed, not one
has been ratified. The failure of Con-
gress to approve such poor reciprocity
treaties as Commissioner Kasson has
been permitted by tariff provisions to
negotiate, shows how this hope was
frustrated. Quite recently Mr.. George
E. Roberts, director of the mint IAN
Other strenuous Republican,, said that
the party should revise the tariff and
repeal or reduce such duties as the de-
velopment of our industries has shown
to E, Superfuous. Exports show that
the tariff is without the excuse Of pro-
lection from foreign commodities, but
it is needed to enable American manu-
facturers to extort higher prices from
American consumers than they are
glad to sell for to foreigners. One can
go to Africa and buy American plows
cheaper than they are sold in Michi-
gan. 1t is a very smooth game the
tariff barons with their billions of
wealth are playing to the detriment of
American consumers.-Boston Post.

WELCOMES EDITOR BRYAN.

The Associated Press dispatches con-
vey the gratifying information that
Mr.. Bryan will commence in January
the publication of a weekly paper to
be devoted to the discussion of public
questions. This is, indeed, news that
will be received with delight by Mr..
Bryan's millions of friends and ad-
mirers throughout the United States
and the world. The National Watch
man hastens to extend the glad hand
and welcome Mr.. Bryan into the high
est and broadest field of human en-
deavor and to predict for his new pa
per- the Commoner, a brilliant and
useful career.
Mr.. Bryan enters upon his chosen
work with rare equipment and under
the most favorable conditions. He is
the trusted and worthy leader of the
grandest movement in the history of
the human race-a movement to mar
shall the intellect and conscience of
the nation to stay the hand of greed
and rescue the one great free repub-
lie of earth from the grip of mon
opoly, to be the hope of mankind for
ever.

THE PARTY IS TOP HEAVY,

The fact that though the President
was reelected by a large popular ma
jority, renders suggestive the fact that
coincidently the party behind him is
going to pieces.
Tom Reed stayed out during the
campaign. General Harrison leads in
open revolt since. Other DISTINGUISHED
Republicans, even including the genial
Mr.. Kohlsaat, are on the bench of
criticism. Says the Philadelphia
Times:
congress has now only been in ses-
sion fortnight, and we see the adj
ministration literally crucified in the
senate, where a majority of the Re-
publicans recorded themselves in omen
rebellion. No such exhibition of polit-
ical revolt has ever been exhibited to-
ward present and reelected Presi-
dent by his own party in either branch
of congress, and it means that the dis
Indignation that made its first record
in the senate on Thursday last will
assert itself in both branches of con-
gress, and that there will be very gen
eral revolt against the policy of the
administration among Republican peo-
pie
THE real or imaginary business or
financial strain that made such men
as Harrison and Edmunds, and Lodge,
and Reed, and others favor the re-
election of Mckinley has entirely per-
ished, and they are now absolutely free
to assert themselves by fearless critic
ism of the policy of the administration
and Independent action against the
President in congress. With the Hay
Pauncefote treaty knocked to smith
reens, chiefly by Republican votes, on
what particular test of party faith can
the administration hold the Republic
an congress to unity of action?"
1t is always the case that when a
man is feeling cock-sure he is standing
upon a precipice.
The sober second thought of the
American people is asserting itself.

lanta Constitution.

Legislation Asked For.

Topeka, Jan. 14.-First among legis-
lative measures asked at this session is
that fraternal beneficial societies and
all else of that ilk shall deposit funds
with the state treasurer to guarantee
payment of losses.
Then comes Senator Smith with a
bill to provide for patrol system for
prisoners in the penitentiary; to carry
out the experiments that the COVER
nor has been making.
Another bill would provide for re-
storing capital punishment, the idea
being to leave the question to be settled
by the trial court and jury.

New Naval Station.

Washington, Jan. 14.-Secretary
Long has received cable from Admiral
Remey announcing that the board of
officers convened to select the most
suitable site in the Philippines for a
permanent naval station; has fixed upon
Olangapo on Subig bay. AS a result
Mr.. Long has sent to congress rec
ommendation that s1,OOO,O 900 be ap-
propriated for beginning work on the
proposed new naval station. 1t is said
that ultimately the new naval station
will be transferred to olangapo in case
congress authorizes the necessary new
equipment.

Five unndrad nIInar. nf G.Ilnn

Gallup, n. NJ, Jan. 1O.-Five hun
bred coal miners of the mines of the
Colorado Fuel and Iron company are
out. Work is, the mines was sus-
pended several days ago pending ne
gotiations. The trouble is said to have
originated in orders issued by the
company discharging members of a
recently organized union. General
Manager Kebleer declared that under
no circumstances would the demands
of the union be granted or any of the
strikers be re-employed. A labor
leader predicts general strike in all
the southwestern mines.

A Tale of Three Cities.

There is nothing at all strange in
the coincidence that three of the great
cities of this country, New York. Chi
cago, and st. Louis, should be stimuli
taneously engaged in a crusade against
vice and the official protection of i'm
morality and crime. 1t would be
strange if there were not popular
and general uprising against the re-
voting conditions in all three of these
cities which haunt themselves on the
notice of all except the officials whose
neglect of duty is the prime cause of
the trouble. In New York vigilance

lied, in st. Louis reform movement

cation, rates at Denver to or from the

tween San Francisco or other Pacific

Lives Comfortably in a Hollow Stump.
Near Pere Marquette, Wis, an old
man named Stears has lived several
years in tree home. Stears was a
flrst-class cabinet-maker, and during
the greater part of his vigorous man.
hood lived in Detroit and worked at
his trade, commanding the best wages
of any artisan in his line Several
years ago Stears went to Pere Mar
quette and took up his residence in
the hollow trunk of a tree near that
town, and he has lived there ever
since. The tree was a great linden
that had been sawed off about fifteen
feet from its base, and in it the occu-
pant has brought to bear his accom-
plishment as a workman to decorate
his queer abode artistically. A door
and window, seen from the outside
bear witness to this. The inner walls
of the strange domicile are ceiled and
papered and are covered with pictures

is needed by an oil stove. Mr.. Stears
plays fifteen different musical instru-
ments by note, and with these and
books entertains himself and frequent

much younger, and he is in perfect
health, or was a few months ago.

the fire will be proven of incendiary
origin. The threats received by Mr..
