Senator Morgan, of Alabama
recently published a letter in
which he suggested taxing the
trusts as a remedy for the mon
opolistic industrial combinations.
The gist of his argument is con-
tanned in the following paragraph:
THE plan would suggest, in
addition to the Sherman law, is
a graduated tax on all business
corporations with an exemption,
in whole or in part, as to such as
can establish to the satisfaction
of the government that they are
not engaged in any agreements
or com binations that are in
tended to control the prices or
the cost of transportation of
com mOditieS that are of the de-
scriptions that enter into domes
tic or foreign commerce.

The Mother Of Trusts.

The Mother Of Trusts.
Daily States.
1t is useless for Repu blican |
opponents of tariff revision to
deny that the tariff is the mother |
of trusts. They should remem-
Der that Mr.. w. o. Havemeyer,
president Of the Sugar Trust, is
an authority on that question,
and in his testimony before the
Industrial Commission a few
years ago he candidly acknowl-
edged that the tariff is the mother
of trusts. They also remember
that when the Mckinley tariff
was under discussion the late
Senator Sherman practically ad
mitted the same thing when he
said that if the protected indus
tries took advantage of the pro-
lection given to increase prices
and Cypress the people he would
favor the repeal of the protective
duties. He showed that he was
sincere when he introduced the
Sherman antitrust law, which
was passed by Congress in 1890
but has never been enforced. It
never will be so long as the Re-
publican party has control of the
government.
knows that the tariff is the
! mother of a long list of trusts
and that they prey remorselessly
upon the people. The consumers
in this country have to pay
$S5, 200, 900 a year more for their
sugar than they would have to
pay for it if there were no tariff
duties on it to protect this parti-
cular CONT ine. Aside from the
plundering Beef Trust, which is
protected by the tariff duties on
foreign cattle and dressed meats,
we have the Steel Trust, the Tin
Plate Trust, the Plate Glass
Trust, the Coal Trust, the Nail
Trust, the Lead Trust, the
Barbed Wire Trust, and so on
down a list that numbers more
than $50. The Tin Plate Trust,
an offspring of the tariff, is to-
day charging American pur-
chasers 81 box for what it sells
to foreign buyers for So box.
The Steel Trust, which is an
other child of the tariff, sells it's
prod ucts in foreign markets
from 80 to so per cent lower
than it sells in the home market,
although it has been established
that it Can produce at less cost
than the manufacturers of steel
in Europe.
The tariff on leather: which in
creases the costs of the shoes
the people have to wear, is for
the benefit of the Leather Trust,
and the tariff on wood pulp and
other materials entering into the
manufacture of paper puts
money into the pockets of the
Paper Trust and takes it out of
the pockets of the public. These
combines conld not plumber the
people as they are now doing
| were it not for the protection
they receive from the tariff and
which they should not have. It
is idle, therefore, for the Repub-
lican leaders to deny that the
tariff is not the mother of trusts.
The people know better, and
they also have a clearer idea of
the workings and purpose of the
protective tariff system than ever
before, and they have about
made up their minds not to be
robbed any longer. The Repub-
leans realize this and they are
fearful of the result of the cleo
tons in November.

DEMOCRATS In DEADLOCK
ATTEMPT To THROW" LABOR
MAN CAUSES SERIOUS TROUBLE.
Senator Beveridge Warmly Received
at Observation-Disclosures in Rush
County-State Politics.
Special to the indianapolis Journal.


SULLIVAN, Ind, Oct 1.-THE Demo-
Gratis met here to-day in delegate conven-
ton for the purpose of selecting a candi-
date for clerk of the Circuit Court. The
three candidates for nomination were
George Welman Lackey, Tilghman Ogle
and Howard Campbell. The convention re-
suited in a deadlock and is still in session
tonight. The one-hundredth ballot has
been taken. with no deviation from the re-
suit of the first ballot, cast to-day at 1
o'clock George Welman Lackey is vice
president of the Indiana Miners Associa-
ton and ran in the Democratic primary
here last February for recorder. Lackey
was no doubt nominated in the election,
which resulted in one of the most disgrace
full incidents ever perpetrated in this coun-
ty at the courthouse, where the ballots
were placed, being broken into, ballots
burned and tally sheets changed. Lackey
had his opponent. w. L. Hunt. on
the hip, but the matter 1t is
alleged, has been adjusted by finan-
cial means. Hunt being declared
the nominee, and Lackey promised the NOM
ination for clerk. His friends. the mining
vote principally, were indignant, and the
mining delegates voted solidly for him to-
day and tonight, causing the deadlock.
as his opponents remained just as firm.
Repeated efforts to adjourn are being made
tonight, and one stormy scene intermingled
with threats and uproars follows another.
Lackey, 1t is apparent, cannot be NOM
mated, but his supporters have assumed the
position that no other candidate can be
nominated.
To-day's convention. as was supposed,
will not have a soothing effect on the nu-
merous Democratic factions. and, a
Lackey man in convention tonight said,
the coming elections" Leaders are pow
erless and Democratic politics are democrat
lied. The better element was opposed TO
the nomination of q clerk this year, be-
leving that the Supreme Court will hold
the law in respect to terms of offices of
present incumbents constitutional. But
certain leaders wish to make the nominal
ton for political reasons.

Ten Days Campaign.

Ten Days Campaign.
Special to the Indianapolis Journal
RUSHVILLE, Ind. Oct. 11.-At Airing
ton tonight Edgar E. Hendee. Republican
candidate for joint senator for the coun-
ties of Rush, Madison and Hancock, closed
one of the most remarkable, successful and
satisfactory campaigns ever waged in
Rush county.
The Republicans held a rousing meeting
at Glenwood Friday night. The meet
ing was held in the planning mill and II
was filled to overlooking and men were
standing. Mr.. Hendee was the speaker
and he opened by saying that it was ap-
propriate to hold Republican meeting in
a planning mill because both the mill and
the Republican party did things
Mr.. Hendee was in the county ten days,
and, beginning at Mays and Carthage in
the north. carried the doctrine of Repub-
ncaniSm to all parts of the county. Mr.
VIII Sparks, candidate for representative
and the local candidates attended all the
meetings. In clear manner Mr.. Hendee
brought home to the farmer his marvel
Gus prosperity and what had produced it,
told how easy it would be to destroy it
by putting into power Democracy and
revenue only. He spoke with great force
and directness on the trust question and
illustrated the Democratic remedy for the
evil with the apt story of the Irishman
who swallowed a potato bug and then,
Democrat-lilxe, took paris green to kill the
bug. His discussion of the Philippine
question was uplifting, inspiring and full
of patriotic fire.
The meetings throughout the county
were unusually large, in all of which many
were glad TO find standing room. Mr..
Hendee is clear, forcible; logical, pleasing
and eloquent stump-sqeaker, and never Of
tends the Democrats. who attend his meet
ings in large numbers.
The colored glee club. which attended
Mr. Hendee, conducted the singing, and at
the meetings close the entire audience
was invited to join in singing America"
which was always done with a hearty good
will. Mr.. Hendee next goes into Hancock
county. He has made a permanent and
pleasant impression here, and the Repub-
lican cause has been strengthened.

EXACT AMOUNT NOT KNOWN.


OMAHA, Neb., Oct. 1.-Reports received
at the office of General Manager Holdredge,
of the Burlington road indicate that the
loss of money in the holdup near Lincoln
will be large, but the exact amount is not
known. Superintendent Butler, of the
Adams Express Company, left for the
scene early in the day and no report has
been received from him. 1t was learned,
however, that Messenger Lupton managed
to conceal a large amount of money con-
tanned in the local safe, placing 1T under
the stove, where it escaped the attention
of the robbers. The money contained in the
through safe was in gold and silver mostly
and was carried away in a mail pouch. A
report that $4,000 had been secured from
the through safe could not be confirmed
here.
The robbers made their escape in two
rigs, both of which they had stolen. One
had two horses attached and the other was
a single rig. The railroad and express Off
Gals have a good description of the vehi-
cles and horses and fair description of
the men. One of the rigs is thought to have
passed through Havelock at o'clock this
morning. The posse in pursuit of the rob-
bers had reached Ashland this evening
without having secured clew to the men,
and is contiEuing the search.
