TRUSTS AND TARIFF.

In the discussion of the tariff and
it's creation. the trusts. which was the
feature of the recent Washington ses-
sion of the industrial commission.
Congressman Taylor. of Ohio. sub
mitted certain figures which were en-
tightening as bearing upon the mo-
nopoly combine system.
Mr.. Taylor defended the Dingley
tariff law. and had no remedy to sug-
gest for abatement of the trust evil:
yet he expressed himself as deeply
appreEensive of the cost of the latter
TO the consuming public. He called
especial attention 90 the recently or
ganized steel trust, declaring that its
securities now amount TO 81 800, 0O0.-
900. while its cost had not been one
third that amount. Nevertheless. as
serted the Ohio congressman. the
holders of those securities would de-
mand returns upon them.
1t is the purchasers of the products
of the steel trust, and the laborers
employed by the steel trust. who
must pay to the holders of inflated
steel trust securities the returns de-
manded. This will come from the
consumer in the form of higher prices
dictated by the trust, which abs olute-
~ controls all markets IL will come
from the laborer in the employ of the
steel trust in the form of lowered
wages accepted at the dictation of the
trust. which exercises large control
of the labor market. And just as the
billion-dollar trust operates TO the
sore cost of the consumer and the
laborer, so do the smaller trusts oper-
in their respective fields.

ctive vision in failing 10 get

move the trusts. And he should be
brave enough TO frankly confront the
ruth and work on the peoples side.

.DIAz'PROBABLE SUCCESSOR


1t was nearly twenty years ago that
first saw President Porflrio Diaz, the
man who has since become the regen-
orator OF Mexico, its benevolent despot
and the arbter OF It's destinies, lie
had then served -four years as chief eN-
ecutiye and had handed the presidential
chair over to his intimate friend and
former companion at arms, General
Manuel Gonzales, who retained the Of
flee for four years and then gave It
back to Diaz The occasion on which
| saw them both was the opening Of
railroad 70 Cuautla in the summer OF
1881, and nearly everybody OF distinc-
ton, including ex.President DiaE, Con
gQles and IT,. oohlnet officials, was on
the first train that went over the new
constructed road The event was
celebrated with Hastings and reJoic-
ings, and all the participants from the
city Of Mexico returned IN safety TO
their homes. But the very next day
a terrible accident, occasioned By the
fall OF a bridge, caused the destruction

specuated upon what It would have
meant for Mexico II that accident had
happened the day before and the coun-

that II would have been plunged at once
into the throes of lnternecine warfare,
and the record OF peace ana prosperity

years would never have been written.
Don P0rtirio was then standing at the
parting Of the ways. He was IN the
full flush Of robust manhood, only 81
years old and had his career, eventful
as his past had been, yet to make He
had shown by his four years In the ex-
ecutiye office what stuff was In him,
but he was then debarred by clause
IN the constitution from holding an
other successive term. So he placed his

lie had meanwhile caused that obJec-
tional clause IN the constitution which
prevented his reelection to be thrown
out. and there was then no obstacle to
the achieving OF his ambition.
General P0rfrio Diaz, for the past
ten yearg the constitutional president"
of Mexico. who was e-elected" TO his
sixth term last December, was born
sept TO- 1880, His mother was related
TO the MlNtocs descendants Of the alb
original Indians who so stoutly resisted
the Spanialds under Cortes that they
were never conquered. and TO this day

These two Daz and Juarca, met

gan quite early, In 1861 he commanded
some native soldiers and won VIC

took a prominent part In the defeat of
the French forces of invasion at Puebla
on May 5-the famous "Cinco de Mayo

During the Macmillan supremacy Dlaz

ond time from the enemy's clutches, he
assembled his brother "Serranos," or
Indians OF the hill towns OF Oaxaca.

rid out whatever gas can be reached.
DR.. c. A. Wynne, coroner of West
mOreland county, arrived last night to
view the body of John PEBBLES, at
West Newton, and the bodies at this
place. He viii not hold the inquest UNI
til it is known that the bodies in the
mine cannot be reached.
There is some talk of flooding the
mine today, and if they do the bodies
of the men who are in there will not
be taken out for eighteen months or two
years, as they will have a hard time
finding them.
The conference today showed that
more explosions are looked for. and the
danger is even greater than is known
As soon as the officials left the office of
the company men were hurcied to the
shafts of the mine and ropes were
stretched around the shafts and guards
stationed to keep the people back. It
was decided to have the crowd kept
back about 300 feet from the mouth of
the pit, as the fire raging below is ex-
pected to light the gas in other work
ings at some time. and should the
crowd be around the mouth of the shaft
when these explosions occur lives may
be lost.
General Manager Schleuberger said
that nothing more would be done
toward recovering the bodies of the men
in the mine until the state mine in
spectOrS arrive. kilograms have been
sent to JohnstOwn, where the state
mine institute is being held, and Chief
Roderick. of the bureau of mines with
inspectors Blick, Ao1dson and Callahan
are expected here tonight, when it viii
be decided definitely whether the mine
will be flooded. The mine is rapidly
filling with gas and the Inuff1ed reports
of explosions can be heard every few
minutes. The ropes stretched keep the
chowds well back, and warnings have
been sent out all around, notifying the
people that a heavy explosion like an
earthquake may occur at any time, and
the hoist be blown away, and all NOV
able property belonging to the COM
pany has been cleared from the pit
mouth.

EIGHTEEN DEAD.
That Is the Result of the Port
Royal Nine Disaster.

West Newton, Pa, June 72-The
death of Harvey Beverage at the Nc
Keesport hospital last night brings the
total number of fatalities of the Port
Royal mine disaster up to eighteen. The
last rescuing party entered the Inflated
mine shortly before midnight and ex-
plored it for a distance of about three
thousand feet The dead body of David
James was found this morning between
Nos. 10 and IL entries.
The body was identified by rag tied
around the little toe of the left foot
The flesh was burned from the face in
several places, and apparently the body
had m ct nearly the full force of the sec
ond explosion.
Another party Will enter the mine
shortly. It was the intention to have
gone early this morning, but as Cen
era1 Superintendent G. W Scnleuder-
burg was in Pittsburg, it was decided to
await his return.
There have been five bodies recov-
cred since the first explosion. There are
still thirteen bodies in the mine, and
several experienced miners here from
the Panhandle district think that they
will be recovered.
What the exact conditions are in the
unexplOred part of the mine is not
known. That there is fire is the opin-
