STICK TO THE ONE ISSUE.

If the managers of the Democratic COnSressiona
campaign are keenly awake TO Il realization Of a duty
and opportunity of singular promise they will permit
no trickery or evasion on the part OF their Republican
antagonists to obscure the one great issue of tariff
revision and the trusts.
1t is this question of n revision of the tariff us Of
fering a remedy for the trust evil which now most
national interest has been aroused by Developments
that revealed the full menace of trustism. During
the past year, and especially within the past few
months. the people have felt the power Of monopoly
TO an unprecedented degree. 4 popular resentment
Of trust greed and selfshness IS an active force in
the existing situation.
The average American voter knows well that the
monopoly trusts owe their existence and their great
power to the high tariff. He knows also that a re-
vision of the tariff in the peoples interest will do
away with the evil of the trust system. He knows
in addition that the Republican party. dominated and
controlled by the trusts, will not consent TO tariff re-
vision. The first step toward a tariff for revenue
only must consist of the removal of the Republican
party from control of the Government.
The Democratic campaign managers should prose-
cute an aggressive campaign all along the line on this
issue. 1t places the Republicans on the defensive.
1t will bring out an overwhelming vote in support Of
Democratic candidates. The people are in favor Of
tariff revision. They have learned the injustice Of
the Dingley tariff and they have come, with good
cause, TO fear the menace of trustism.

KEEP THESE TRUTHS IN MIND.

In figuring upon the probability of tariff revision
at the hands of n Republican Congress it will be well
to keep in mind the record made by the Republicans
in the matter of reciprocity, a policy which they
adopted, apparently in good faith, in 1890.
Following this initial action came an abandon
ment Of the policy which was met in 1894 by a pro-
test, and, in 1896. the Republican national platform
again declared for reciprocity. In 1897 the Republic
an party passed a high tariff law with special pro-
visions for reciprocity. And since that time-mark
this well-the Republican party has defeated every
reciprocity treaty sent to the Senate for ratification,
further emphasizing its hostility to such q policy by
killing the Cuban reciprocity bill despite the fact that
President Roosevelt urged its passage. ,
This is how the Republican party "favors" rect
procity. What hope is there that tariff revision IN
der Republican control of Congress viii ever be at
tanned: The high protectionists are dominant in the
Republican party. The monopoly trusts, depending
upon the Dingley tariff for the maintenance of their
monopolies, dictate Republican action. Do you sup
pose that a party thus dominated and held subject
TO the vii; of the trusts win revise the tariff In ODE
dience to popular sentiment? Do not Republican
orators and newspaper organs denounce as '-tarifr
emashers." tariff tinkerers" and business killers
all who propose a reduction of the DiDgley schedules

vision OF the tariff that shall relieve the people OF it's

nopoly trusts must look to the Democratic party for

THE "oyERcoNFIDENcEr RACKET.


Carefully concealed behind the warnings against
"overconfdence" now being sounded by Republican
organs in discussing the political campaign under way
there is an apprehension of Republican defeat at the
polls in the November elections.
The surface indications point strongly to the likeli-
hood Of such defeat. Owing to the strong trend of
popular sentiment against the monopoly trusts and
the tariff which created the trusts. the Republican
party is in bad Odor. 1t stands before the people as
the champion of the tariff and the trusts. The people
have determined TO remedy the trust evil by bringing
about a revision of the tariff. The first step to this
end must of necessity be the defeat Of the Republican
party.
There is no "Overconfdence" anywhere in Repub-
lican ranks. What the party organs really mean is
that there is imminent peril of party disaster now con-
fronting the organization, but the warning against
'overcOnfdence' is rs near as they dare come TO a
confession of this truth. Their position is awkward
They would like to sound i cry for help that should
make earth vocal with its despairing volume-and if
they did this they know that such a revelation of
weakness would cause i stampede away from the
party that would but serve 10 intensity the impending
defeat.

Mayor johnson and the Presidency.

Wm. E. Curtis in Chicago Record Herald
No one, so far as ! can ascertain. has ever been able to
make Mayor Johnson talk about the presidency. When
approached the subject with him he protested amiably
against discussing his own prospects or possibilities, claim
ing that the Republican papers had started a boom for
him as a joke That was all he was willing to say. but
his satellites do not hesitate to discuss his intentions with
great freedom. and half a dozen OF his closest advisers
and Ieutenants have declared within the last few DAYS
that he will be nominated in 1904 and will go to the Demo
cratic National Convention with a solid delegation from
Ohio behind him. When they were reminded that Mr..
johnson was making light OF the subject they retorted:
Tom Is all right. He amt saying a word, but is sawin'
wood just the same" And that describes the situation
accurately.
He has stripped himself for the fight. He has no en-
tanglIng alliances He has disposed OF all his stock in
corporations. He has no business cares or responsibilities.
He has nothing to explain. and IS creating issues every
day BY his efforts at municipal reform Mayor Johnson
is coming out strong during the approaching campaign in
Ohio. Being solely responsible for the candidates and
platform. he viii assume the management OF the canvass.

WORLD'S-19O4-FAlR
BEWARE OF THE MEAT TRUST:

BEwAR OF THE MEAT TRUST:
When the great merger of American meatpacking
interests goes into effect in Chicago on September -,
as is now confidently expected by the houses engineer.
ing the deal, another trust OF peculiar menace 10 the
people will have been added to the list Of American
monoDolies.
The evil achievement possible 10 the Meat Trust
has already been graphically illustrated at the sore
cost of the consuming public. The recent unwar-
ranted advance Of the price of meat TO e%xorbitanI
figures. made by the joint action of the packing
houses controlling the situation, imposed hardship
yand suffering on thousands of families in this country.
There was no excuse for the advance; neither was
there any alternative for consumers. save that of
going without meat if they were unable or unwilling
TO pay monopoly prices.
1t was little wonder that the National Butchers
and Retail A.. Dealers Association at once began
a movement for the removal of the tariff duties on
beef. They saw that competition was necessary to
prevent monopoly.
Now. however, the Meat Trust is about to be or
ganized in unassaiabIe form, save in the event of
tariff revision. and the Republican party stands stub
bernly against tariff revision. The people will never
get relief from the oppressive Meat Trust and other
dangerous monopolies so long as the Republican
party remains in power. That party is controlled by
the trusts. If the great food monopoly now being
organized in Chicago sees fit to charge exorbitant
prices for its products, the people viii have 10 pay
those prices.
Meat is a necessity of life. The Meat Trust is
preparing TO take full advantage of this fact and TO
grind the people accordingly. The Republican party
aids and abets the Meat Trust in its monopoly opera
tons.
The lesson is one that must surely exercise a
potent effect upon the American mind. 1t is a typical
lesson of trust malignancy under the protection of
the Dingley tariff. American consumers of meat and
American retail dealers in meat. something ike So
100000 strong in numbers, are the sufferers. What
do they propose to do about ii?

TRUSTS REACHED TARIFF RE-

President Roosevelt, In his speeches upon the trusts
as an issue in the present campaign, has nothing to
say as TO the relation in which the trusts stand TO-
ward the high protective tariff nor as TO the effect
which tariff revision would have on the trust evil
The Republican campaign textbook also lodges
this phase of the issue. Wherever there has been n
Republican utterance on the question it has been CON
tended that tariff revision would not reach the evil in
the trusts and that, therefore. it is not an issue.
There is a reasonable certainty that Mr.. Roosevelt
himself would thus contend and that Republican
orators and partisan organs will take the same
ground.
The meaning Of this line of argument on the part
Of The Republicans is plain. The trusts care little
for any attack upon their power which does not come
in the form of an attack upon the high protective tariff.
II they and the political party which they control can
hold the tariff inyiolate against revision 1t is felt that
no material damage injury can come to trustismA in
any other manner. But just the moment revision of
the tariff shall begin, the monopoists Well know. the
power OF the trusts as controlling the markets of this
country and exorbitantly overcharging American con-
sumers OF trust products viii be certain Of overthrow
The revision Of the tariff means the correction of the
evil that is in the trust system.
The foremost issue Of the campaigns of 1902 and
1904 is the issue Of tariff revision and the trusts The
Democratic party must make an aggressive feb, ON
this issue. The voters Of the country are fully
aroused to the necessity for q revision Of the tarin.
They know what it win mean to them In the way of
a lessened cost Of living brought about BY healthy
competition for their trade. They know, too. that
they win get better prices for the commodities which
they must now sell TO the trusts without eompefitfon

Tariff revision to a point that will provide rev.
enue for the expenses of an economical administration
Of government is now favored by a majority OF the
American people. A proscriptive tariff, the operation
of which has created the monopoly combines known
as trusts, by destroying competition and placing
American consumers and retailers at the mercy of the
combines. is strongly condemned. A revision Of the
tariff, it is now plain to the people, will remedy the
worst evil that is in the trusts. 1t will injure no
legitimate business. 1t will greatly benefit the
masses. The dominant issue Of the campaigns of
1902 and 1904, therefore, is this twin issue of the
tariff and the trusts. The national Democracy will
win in both campaigns by making an aggressive fight
on this issue.
