LONDON. Oct. 16.-The labor department
OF the Board Of Trade issued a report
which is considered to be a bad omen for
the coming winter, as It shows that the re-
vival OF industry which it was anticipated
would come after the termination Of the
South African war has not yet been realized.
The report says the general state of en-
ployment has continued to decline and Is
now worse than Il was a year ago. Wages
are tumbling everywhere and the number
Of unemployed persons is rapidly increasing.
The newspapers common on this point
this morning and predict a hard winter for
the laboring classes. Meat, bread and coal
are all dearer than a year ago, while thou
sands OF reservists who have returned from
South Africa are unable to find employment
and are beginning public demonstrations to
call attention to their destitute condition.

The address Of Attorney General Knox
on the m clause OF the constitu-
ton and the trusts is a r~eassuring state
ment of the power OF the federal govern
ment to adequately deal with the great
combinations engaged In interstate
commerce, under existing constitutional
authority. Mr.. Knox said that corpor-
ations upon which the people depend
for the necessaries of life should be re-
quired to conduct their business so as
regularly and reasonably to supply the
public needs. 1t is obvious that In this
he had in view the anthracite coal COM
bine and there viii be universal concur
renee in the opinion. He urged that cor
poratiOns serving the public as carriers
should be required tokeep the avenues of
commerce open 10 all upon the same
terms. He advocated publicity in re-
gard to the operations of those corpora
tions that are doing an Interstate busl-
ness, saying that secrecy In the con-
duct and results OF operation is unfair
to the -non-managing stockholders and
should as well for reasons OF state be
prohibited by law"
In regard to the federal antitrust law.
commonly known as the sherman act,
the scope Of which Mr.. Knox explained,
he said that II that law "exhausts the
power of congress over monOpolies the
American people ind themselves hope
lessly impOtent, facing a situation
fraught with the most Adlarming posi-
bAities, with which neither the federal
nor stare governments can deal" He
argued, however, that the power OF
congress is not exhausted in this law,
but that the antitrust act Of 1890 may,
under the existing constitutional grants
be amended and extended 'and thus
remedy its defects and so effectively
regulate national and foreign eommercs
as 70 prevent the stihing Of eOmpeu.

mitted to them at the coming election a
proposed constitutional amendment
making it possible in the future to
amend the constitution by a majority Of
the votes cast upon the proposition in
stead Of as now by a majority Of all
votes cast at the election. When the
time comes every voter should express
himself one way or the other on this
questionable should not let the amend
ment fail by default because of inatten-
ton. Let it be voted up or down by
positive act of the people rather than

cLEKhLANp 1s OPrIM Is

Mr.. Cleveland sees a favorable out
look for the democracy. He thinks the
party will increase its representation in
the next congress, and that If it will
only keep On fighting protection and
leave all other questions in the back
ground it may have a pretty good
chance Of winning two years hence. Mr..
Cleveland has discovered restlessness
in the republican party regarding the
tariff, and in this he finds the demo-
cratic opportunity, but whatever rest
lessness there may be among repub-
leans is not due to any tendency in the
direction Of the democratic demand for
tariff revision. There are republicans,
it is true, who think it would be well
for the party to modify the tariff in
some respects, but always on protec-
ton lines. The democrats, on the other
hand, want free trade. That is what
their congressional campaign text book
affirms and what the more candid men
among them admit. They wan to
break down the policy that safeguards
American industries and labor, and they
are making the fight on trusts a subter-
fuge for accomplishing this.
The people, however, are not being
misled. They understand very well
what the democrats mean. When Mr..
Cleveland and others who believe with
him talk of a readjustment Of the tariff
everybody familiar with the democratic
record knows that this contemplates the
overthrow of the protective policy, not
simply a modification of the tariff. There
is no doubt that .he democracy will adj
here to its position regarding the tariff.
1t has no other issue, and on this ques-
ton it will again be beaten, for it is
impossible to doubt that a majority Of
the people will vote against q policy to
which is so largely due the prevailing
prosperity.

which resulted in the death OF a secret

Guiding that the accident is to be

carried any further than that remains to
be seen, but the American people have
felt so much qualification over the fortu-
nate escape Of the president that they

sentiment on the men to whom RESPONSE

in his selection for the bench. What the

both the production and the distribution
of hard coal, were in business when
Richard Olney was attorney general of

time. He now dehounces them As "the

breakers" and declares that they have
