To Save aTrtp.


Some years ago Atlier, Chief or
the Penobscot tribe of of Indians.
was hauled before Juge johnson,
of Oldtown, Maine, for nonpayment
of a grocer's bill. After the exam
ination the old chief quietly pro-
duced the money, handed it to the
Judge and asked for receipt.
The Judge said no receipt was
necessary-that he would see to il
that the old red man was never
again bothered for that particular
bill. But Atlier insisted, and was
asked why he was SO anxious for a
receipt in spite of the Judges
promise. He replied:
"When me die and go to heaven
Great Spirit ask me if 1 pay all my
honest debts, 1 say Yes Great
Spirit say, Where your receiptsP''
Then me have to go ell the way
down to hell to hunt up Judge
johnson for proof"

Hampshire Review.
President Roosevelt is doubtless
very good man in many respects.
He is the President of the United
States and we respect his position,
even did we not respect the man,
but certainly he is not of the tenn
permanent that should be the guild
ing spirit in man occupying the
high posit1on he does. That may
not be Roosevelt's fault. Like the
toad. he is just as God made him,
but then it does lie in the power of
every man to control his temper
and gage his conduct. The serious
accident to his carriage and him
self, in Massachusetts a few days
ago, which resulted in the loss of
one of his body guards and in the
bruising of his own face seriously.
brought out fully the disposition
of the man. When he became dis,
engaged from the wreck he jumped
to his feet, tonguelashed the mo-
torman who had control of the car.
shook his inst at him. told him this.
lis most damnable outrage" and
finally concluded by ordering the
motorman arrested. That was hu-
man. The most of us would have
felt about that way about it, doubt
less, but should the President of
the United States, even when his
face was bruised, make this kind of
an exhibition of himself?
Take President Mckinley as an
example. When the sooundrellyl
assassin had rendered what appear
ed to be the hand of friendship. but
which was in fact the hand of a
murderer, and in which was con-
cealed the deadly weapon and had
fred the fatal shot, the President
turned away mortally wounded and
when he saw the crowd pounce
down upon the man who had
sought his life, he directs that that
the man be not injured. With al
most Divine forbearance he said,
poor fellow, he did not know what
he was doing" evidently realizing
that Czolgosz was fanatic.
President Roosevelt seems to
hgye love for war, blood and re-
venge. else he would not delight in
shooting everything that runs at
large in the shape of game and
would not have boasted in a maga-
zine article of having shot fleeing
Spaniard in the back. No man
doubts the Presidents physi-
cal courage. He would fight al
whole regiment, we believe, but
there are a great many other quail
titles just as essential, and more 30,
in high official, in fact in the
humblest citizen, than the mere
matter of physical courage. Love,
mercy, forbearance, forgiveness,
gentleness: These are the highest
attributes of true manhood.

Why The Trusts Are Able To
Rob The American People.
Charles M. Schwab, president of
the Steel Trust, when testifying
before the Industrial Commission,
was asked:
"Is it fact generally true of all
exporters in this country that they
do sell at lower prices in foreign
market than they do in the home
market?"
"That is true, perfectly true"
said Mr.. Schwab.
The Steel Trust has demanded
$35 per ton for rails in this coun-
try, while the same kind of rails,
supplied by the same Trust, were
on sale in England at $24 ton.
For wire and wire rope the home
price is twice as much as the for
eign price.
The farmers of Canada, Mexico
and South America can buy agri-
cultural machinery made in the
United States for the half of the
price that the American farmer
must pay.
American borax sells in England
for q cents pound. and for u
cents pound in America.
And SO on through the whole
list of things controlled by the
trusts.
How is it that trusts are thus
able to rob the American consumer.
1t is because the tariff protects
the trusts against foreign oompeti-
tion in the home market.
The tariff is the mother and pro.
teotor of trusts.
The Republican party will not
give the American people relief
from this wholesale and systematic
pillage because

Party.-New Y Jrk journal.

The American people will never

money. whether the savings of the
wage Garner OF the investments of
the capitalist. Private property is
sacred in their eyes. But public
power belongs to them, who are the

fer it to be welded by private and
irresponsible persons. Broad as
the land is there Is not room
enough in it for two sovereignties,

For long time during the early

For long time during the early
stages of this campaign, the Re-
publioans insisted that the tariff
was no issue. They declared that
the people were satisfied with
things as they are. The fact was
that they didn't want it to be an
issue. and that their statement that
it was not, was nothing more than
thought born of a wish. But
since the Republicans of Iowa have
said that it affords shelter to Trusts
"a contention that the Democrats
have all along made-and since the
Idaho Republicans have adopted
an outspoken declaration of the re.
moval of the tariff from Trust con-
trolled products. they are no longer
able to deny that the tariffs an
issue. and one of the great issues
of this campaign. Although, in
the words of the conservative New
York Herald, the Republican Cam.
paign Text Book "dodges the tar
iff, defends Trusts and ignores Gu
ba," and though the President him
self refuses, in his speeches. to take
cognizance of the trust-breeding
tendencies of the tariff. yet it is an
issue the American people will not
dodge and an issue that the Repub-
licans cannot run away from. .Sec-
retary Shaw may continue to deny
that tits the mother of Trusts,
while admitting that it is the par
emit of conditions which make
Trusts, he may continue to trifie
with the intelligence of the people
by drawing his infinitesimal dis
tinotions, but the fact still will re-
main that the tariff, in the words oil
the Republican generalissimo, Mr.
Bsbcock, does enable the Trusts tc
hold up the consumer while they
fix arbitrary and exorbitant prices
