Roosevelt, Humiliation.

1t appears that all of President
Roosevelt's explanations and Secretary
Shaw's explanations that the admins
tration is not vindictively hostile to-
ward trusts have not been sufficient to
satisfy the trust magnates who con-
troll the Republican party, and they
have forced the most prominent can
did9te for the Presidential nomination
in 1904 to declare unequivoeally against
any serious effort to get rid of trust
domination. In his speech at Fitch
burg, Mass, he made his confession as
follows:
AS sensible men we must decide
that it is a great deal better that some
people prosper too much than that no
one should prosper enough. SO that
the man who advocates destroying the
trusts by measures which would
paralyze the industries of the country
is at best a quack and at worst an
enemy to the republic"
This is plain, in the light of recent
events. The remedy that would para
lyze the industries of the country is
by everybody to be the re-
duction of the tariff on trust-made
products. The only effort made by
President Roosevelt in that line was
in the bill for Cuban reciprocity. The
objections made to the Cuban reel
procity bill by the tobacco and sugar
trusts were exactly the objections that
President Roosevelt now makes to rem
edial legislation by removing tariff do
nations to trusts. The trusts have
forced him to join them in the con-
demnation of his own policy.
And the most humiliating part of this
is that the condemnation is
based on falsehood. The idea that
the reduction of the tariff on tobacco
AMI sugar in favor of Cuba would
have destroyed either of those indus
tries was an utter absurdity, and every
sensible man in the land knew it. 1t
is equally absurd to say that the re-
moyal of the tariff on trust-made goods
which the trusts are now exporting to
foreign countries and selling in compe-
tition with the world would ruin their
industries. And yet President Roose-
Welt is driven TO assume that position
and make that false plea to the Ameri-
can people indianapolis Sentinel.

In general more is probably known
Lake Huron. Lake Superior. st. Marys
River and the immediate vicinity of
the American and Canadian Soos. The
upper lake regions comprise a new
country, and will be more to the flu
ture than they have been to the past.
AS a fishing ground, st. Marys River
annually yields some handsome lifts.
Whitefish and trout, when caught by
net, have been known to yield q ton
at a haul. Michigan is taking a de-
cided interest in her fisheries. The
Michigan hatchery is one of the finest
in the country, and Is situated so near
the great canals as to be an object OF
considerable interest to tourists in that
section. This hatchery, it is said,
places in Michigan waters, annually
100000 white fish, 100000 lake
trout, and 100000 brook trout.
OF the five Great Lakes, Lake Erie
furnishes the world with more fresh
water fish than any other body of wa
ter. The Lake Erie fisheries employ
in the neighborhood of 1900 men. Fish
ing companies often operate fifteen to
twenty tugs. These tugs or boats each
set mary nets with a capacity OF 400
to 500 pounds each. Tie nets are set
from five to IS or &c miles out in the
lake. The value of each net is So. At
the wharfs fish are removed from the
tug decks to the packing houses In
boxes. Here they are prepared for
shipment to distant points, they often
going even to the ocean ports.

These are commodities that the miner
has to have to live. and it will be
noted that many of them have adj
vanced 100 per cent or more. Coal has
gone sailing shyward, but the men who
dug it get no advantage from that. Mr..
Cammack further says:
"These are the prices that the av-
erage workingman pays now and what
they had to pay in 1898. trust that
this statement may be of service in
opening the eyes of the laboring men
of this country, so that they may vote
against the trusts and the party that
makes il possible for them to rob the
laboring men by charging them these
outrageous prices, and if they make
any complaint enjoin them from walk
ing on the earth"
1t is not surprising that with this
sort of sentiment developing among
the miners Senators Plat and Quay
have made an effort to induce the mine
operators to arbitrate the questions in
volved. The time has come when the
common sense of the people revolts
against the exactions of the divinely
constituted trustees of property who
operate the trusts.

Vain Republican Ruling.

An angry resentment OF the popular
demand for tariff revision is the most
noticeable characteristic of Republic
an comment thereon, making plain the
truth that Republican unwillingness
to act against the monopolies enjoyed
by the trusts units that party for
service to the people.
The leading organs of Republican,
ism stigmatize as 'tariff-smashers" all
these who are in favor of a revision of
tie tariff. The only variant of this IA
vorite term in which they indulge is
the second-choice epithet, business
killers" which they employ hopefully
as tending to deter voters from con-
elusive insistence upon tariff revision.
In their desperation they are preach
ing the doctrine that the maintenance
Of monopoly is necessary to the pros
perity of the masses.
The millions of Americans now bear
ing the tax burden of the Dingley tar
if have passed that stage where they
could be fooled by such tactics. They
do not see prosperity" in the fact that
they are compelled to pay higher
prices for the products of the Ameri-
can trusts than are paid by Europeans
for the same products. They fail to
feel prosperous" merely because the
cost of living in this country has been
tremendously increased in order that
the food trusts should make exor.
bitaut profits and pay millions in diyi-
dends to a few multi-millionaire mo.
nopolists. They can only see and feel
that the Dingley tariff is a mighty
good thing for the trusts and a mighty
bad thing for the people.
Nor is there any popular apprehen.
sion of American trade being injured
by revision of the tariff American
merchants and manufacturers are un-
derselling their competitors in all the
markets of the world. They are more
than equal to holding their own in
American markets They can, without
the slightest danger of loss, do with.
out the protection" of a tariff whose
duties are necessarily paid by Ameri.
can consumers They are very sure
that business viii be healthier when a
healthy competition is possible and
when individual enterprise and the
conduct of smaller business concerns
stand some show of profit There Is
no prosperity for the people in the
fact that a few hundreS aust mag.
mates. out Of a population of nearly
S0.Oo00o0 souls, make fortunes every
year and proceed TO spend the bulk OF
those fortunes in foreign lands.
That form OF tariff smashing
which would revise the Dingley tariff
to the wholesome basis Of tariff for
revenue only Is heartily favored By
American public sentiment This sen
timent Is SO strong. indeed, as 10 make
tariff reform the leading issue OF the
day. Republican organs can no longer
frighIen American voters By calling
them tariff -smashers" and business
killers The only business to be
killed is the monopoly business, and
the only tariff TO be smashed ) the IN
just Dingley tariff that has created and
maintained the monopoly business al
the sore cost Of the peopls.-St- Louis
