PRESIDENT AND TRUST.

There is one point that President
Roosevelt has made perfectly clear in
his discussions of the trust question,
and that is that he is opposed to strik-
ing at the trust evil by removing the
tariff on trust-controlled goods. In
his speech at Cincinnati he said:
The real evils connected with the
trusts can not be remedied by any
change in the tariff laws. The trusts
can be damaged by depriving them of
the benefits of protective tariff only
on condition of damaging all their
smaller competitors and all the wage
workers employed in the industry.
This is, perhaps, palmer and more
explicit than any declaration the Pres
ident has made on the whole trust
question. There is no possibility of
misunderstanding it. OF course neither
he nor anybody else would be in favor
of any measure that would not remedy
1.-The real evils connected with the
trusts" and he declares that these can
not be reached by "any change in the
tariff laws" Moreover, he fatty says
that ''depriving them of the benefits
of a protective tariff" would damage
their smaller competitors and all the
wage-workers employed in the in
dustry," and of course he is opposed to
that.
This declaration includes the ad-
mission that the trusts do derive ben
efits' from the protective tariff What
benefits? Nothing connected with
their organization or their work of
production. The only possible "ben-
eft" they can receive from the tariff
is the ability to charge more for their
goods to domestic consumers. Of
course that is benefit" in the way of
increased profits, but it is benefit
that is necessarily an injury to those
that have to pay the increased prices.
There is no longer room to question
that the lower prices to the people
which would result from the removal
of these benefits" would not destroy
the industries. for their products are
sold abroad cheaper than at home.
Republican papers are now denying
this, but only few weeks ago they
admitted it. Mr.. Schwab. the presi-
dent of the steel trust, testified to he
industrial commission: ut is quite
true that export prices are made at
very much lower rate than those here"
Soon after another trust magnate ex-
planned that the reason goods were sold
cheaper abroad than at home was that
they were surplus stock" Republi-
can papers accepted this explanation

THE FRIEND OF LABOR.

Mr.. r. E. Morrison, in making his
canvass for Delegate to Congress,
makes the bare-faced statement that
the Democratic party is really not a
friend to the laboring man, but has
adopted a labor platform in order
to catch votes.
All that has been done for the labor
ing men of America was done through
the Democratic party, or the influence
OF Democratic legislation during Gro
yer Cleveland's administration. Demo-
Gratis forced the adoption of the con-
tract labor law. which prohibits big
commercial institutions introducing
foreign labor into America under con-
tract. 1t is true that this law has
been violated, especially by the coal

HOW TO BEAT A TRUST.


The Butchers and Stockgrowers
Journal advocates a combination of
the butchers and stockgrowers of the
country to offset the power of the beef
trust octopus, remarking that they
would always have the sympathy and
support of the consuming public.
What is the matter with the stock
growers, butchers and consumers Or
ganizing? Its would be a massive un-
dertaking, but could be ACCOMPLISHED.
and would cut off some of the tentacles
of the beef trust octopus.
Let the stockgrowers of the country
pledge themselves to sell only to the
butchers; the butchers agree to buv
only from the stockgrowers, and the
consumers form associations promising
to patronize the butchers only who
obtain their meats from the stock
growers organizations.
State associations of consumers
would be formed which would put
agents in the field to form local or
ganizations. This would bring the
producers and consumers together a
result that has always been greatly
desired.

1t is a common sight for cadet cor

Bribery Charges Untrue.

Washington, July 1--Chairman Dali
zell, of the special committee of the
house of representatives which investi-
CATER the charges in connection with
the purchase of the Danish West India
islands today submitted the report of
the committee. After detailing the
charges of bribery and showing that
Captain Christmas had repudiated the
alleged report on which the charges
were based, the committee sums up the
results of their investigation as follows:
THAT there is not the slightest semb-
lance Of evidence that any member of
congress, either directly or indirectly
was offered or received any bribe, or
was paid any valuable consideration Of
any kind or character to vote for or
assist in procuring the proposal, adop-
tion or ratification of treaty of sale
Of the Danish West India islands to the
United States.
1T is plain beyond per adventure
that the bribery alleged in the report
could have existed nowhere save in the
imagination of Christmas since the
whole burden of his story is that he
had no money. 1t is in evidence that he
had to borrow in order to pay his pas
sage home from this country
The committee then takes up in de-
tail the charges that large sum of
money was to be used TO bribe Ameri-
can legislatures. Aside from the in
herent 1nprobability or this charge, the
report states, the testimony given by
all the parties mentioned shows 1.-The
unwarranted nature OF the charge. The
report exhonorates all the private in
dividuals who had dealings with Christ
mas.

Washington, July 1.-Chairman Can
non of the house appropriations COM
mittee, today presented a statement of
the appropriations made at the present
session of congress. showing a total of
s750.063rS37. not including the large
amounts that will be required for the
isthmian canal and building and river
and harbor bills.
IN his statement Mr.. Cannon says in
part:
IAN analysis of this table shows that
cast by the executive departments ag-
gregated $776,34S. .31S; that the total ap-
propriations made. exclusive of $50, $780,
600 toward an isthmia.n canal, aggregate
$3.50. .063, 1897. The appropriations made
in the regular annual bills for ordinary
expenses of the government payable
during the fiscal year 1903 aggregate
S595.5O2,7 which. together with the
sums carried under permanent appro-
priations. and exclusive of the amount
required by the sinking fund, makes a
total of $665, ,423. 1926. In the nature of
things, and in the light of past expert
ence this entire sum will never be eX-
pended but probably will be reduced in
the neighborhood of 10 per cent. The
timated, on the basis of revenue re-
duction legislation enacted at this ses-
sion. amount to S640.520. $50. The expen-
ditures to be made under the appropria-
tions Of this session will not exceed
5000, 0,000, 900 or a sum approXimating $780,
0.000 less than the revenues which we
expect to derive under the revenue laws
as revised by this congress"
Representative Livingston (Georgia),
the ranking democrat of the appropria-
tions committee, submitted a statement
showing, with the inclusion of the 18TH
mian canal, river and harbor. and other
prospective expenditures, appropriations
of over one billion dollars during the
past session. His statement says in
part:
'"The direct appropriations made at
this session of congress, including the
isthmian canal appropriation, reach the
astonishing aggregate of $500, 1887
To this should be added the furth-
er amount of $259, ,215, to include con-
tracts authorized to be entered into in
addition to the specific appropriations
which are made. These contract au-
thorizations are in the nature Of prom
issory notes of the government, issued
by this session Of congress, to be met
and liquidated in the future, and con-
titute as much a part of the appropria-
tions chargable to this session as are
the specific appropriations made, and
which are to be expended, not at once
but throughout the coming fiscal year
"The two sums aggregate s1,059,577,-
O52. The appropriations, including au-
thorized contracts, of this session ex-
ceed those, including contracts, of the
last session by $270, 1885, ,1O2.
1.-The last session of the 53rd congress
for the fiscal year 1896 was democratic
in both branches, and the government
was administered by Mr.. Cleveland. II
therefore affords fair ground for the
purpose Of comparison. The difference
between the total then and now
amounts to the startling sum of $685.
SS1, ,767, or more than as much again as
it required to conduct the affairs of gov
ernment under a democratic congress

ridge did not appear in the senate dur
ing the early part of the session. At
ter his chat with Mr.. BurleSon, Sena-
tor Bailey left the chamber. Senator
Beveridge, who had been engaged in
his committee room, entered the cham
Der about half an hour after the sem
ate convened. AS he went to his seat
on the extreme democratic side, other
senators joined him and shook him
cordially by the hands. Later he went
over on the republican side.

Naval Appropriation Bill Settled.

Washington. July 1.-The conferees Of
the two houses of congress on the naval
appropriation bill reached an agreement
today on the one point left in dispute
after former conferences. This point
related to the contention between the
two houses as to whether any of the
proposed new war vessels should be
built in government navy yards. The
compromise agreement authorizes the
construction OF one battleship in a
government yard and also others In
case Of emergency. There Is an appro-
priation of s175.000 for the equipment
OF each navy yard to be used for con-
structing any Of the ships. The confer
ence report was adopted by both houses

SERIOUS TRANSPORTATION PROS
PECTS.
Series of Strikes Threatened in
Proportions

Chicago, July 1.-Transportation in
the middle west may be seriously af-
fected as the result of series Of
strikes threatened by machinists and
boiler makers by every railroad enter
ing Chicago from the west. The first
of this series of strikes was called when
las boiler makers employed by the Chi
cago and Northwestern railroad were
called out. Before the week is over
the niachinists employed by the road
may follow them. A strike of the one
hundred machinists employed by the
Baltimore and Ohio at Garrett, Ind, is
in progress as we'll as the strike Of
the boiler makers and machinists Of
the union.
The walk-outs are the result Of re-
fusal on the part of the general man
ayers of the various railroads to COM
ply with demands Of the machiniSts
and boiler makers for increased wages.
These same demands have been pre-
sented to every Western railroad en-
tering Chicago and to several of the
Eastern roads. In case the railroads
follow the example set by those al
ready approached the strike Of the two
trades will apparently assume proper
tionS.

FIRST LOSS OF LIFE.
Mine Policeman Shoot an Italian
Trouble May BE ecipitated.
Guards Doubled.

Wilkesbarre, Pa. July 1.-The first
loss of life during the anthracite strike
occurred today at the William A. Col
liery at Duryea- Antonio Guisupe, an
Italian. was shot dead by one of the
coal and iron policemen from behind the
stockade of the colliery. Reports differ
as to the cause of the shooting. The
friends of the dead nan say he was
walking on the road near the stockade
when he was fired upon. The man was
on his way from Scranton to Duryea at
the time. Another report is that the
Italian tried to get over the fence and
would not heed the warning from the
policemen to go away. He insisted on
was fired upon. There is much indigna-
ton over the shooting. The officials Of
the William A, colliery say some peo-
pie on the outside Of the stockade were
engaged in firing at the guards all last
night and that several Of the coal and
iron policemen had narrow escapes from
being shot.
The guard at the William A, coiliery
was doubled to night and the sneriff
swore in a special POSSE to preserve or

thousand people collected in the vicinity

doubtedly have been made On the

tigation OF the action Of the shooting
some of the deputies employed at the
colliery may be placed Under arrest.

PUTTING PHILIPPINE GOVERN
MENT ACT IN OPERATION
TRANSFER OF AUTHORITY
From Military to Civil to he the
First Thing-Military Force to he
Reduced - Census Provided for.
COrneII-Root Commends Work of
OF the Philippine Commission.

Washington. July 2.-Chairman 3 Coop
er. of the house committee on insular
affairs says steps will be taken at once
to put the Philippine government act
in operation.
The first step" said Mr.. Cooper. to-
day. will be the complete transfer of
authority from the military to the civil
officials except in the Moro country
where there is some lingering disorder.
The transfer will be accomplished by
a proclamation of the president, which,
it is understood will be issued on the
Fourth Of July. Beside turning over
the authority to the civil officials, the
change will permit a considerable re-
duction of the military force in the
islands. although orders already given
contemplate a reduction TO $4,000 men,
In 1900 we had 10000 men in the Phil
ippines, so that we will soon have re-
duced the force by 1000 and the trans
fer of authority under the act doubt
less will lead to a further reduction be-
fore long.
The next step will be to take the
census as provided by the act Gov
ernor Taft told me this work would be
begun as soon as he reached Manila.
His plan is to have the work done as
far as possible by Filipinos, and the
commission will get up their own CEN
sus system instead of having it done
by the census Office at Washington, al
though they are empowered to get CEN
sus experts from here by making ap-
plicauon to the president. The pur-
pose, however, is to make the work
thoroughly a local one, so that it will
serve the F'ilipinos as an object les
son. The census will take about a
year.
''As the general effect OF the act, We
have just enacted" added Mr.. Cooper,
Il share the views of Governor Taft,
who says that if this bill became a law
you would hear no more of the Philip:
pines than we do of Porto Rico and
the Philippine problem would gradual
ly disappear"
Mr.. Cooper has received the follow
ing telegram from President ]. c..
Schurman, of Cornell, who was head
of the first Philippine commission:
Cordial congratulations on your
splendid victory in securing a legisla-
ture assembly for the Filipinos.
Our commission recommended. Your
bill shows constructive craftsmanship
of the highest order. Filipinos will
bless you forever"
Secretary Root today cabled to Act
ing Governor Wright of the Philippine
commission the substance of the
changes made in the Philippine civil
government bill by the conferees and
commentator Of the commissions
work:
Il congratulate commission upon the
confidence and approval of congress
evidenced by it's adoption of your acts
and continuance and enlargement OF
your authority.
