CAN'T LOSE THE SCHOOL FUND.


Why shouldn't the Republicans drop the School
Fund issue? According to well-authenticated reports,
the speakers who will work under the direction of the
State Committee will spend very little time discussing
this part of the platform adopted in Jefferson City.
Moses Whybark and Edward Higbee, Supreme
Court nominees, and both believers in the certificates
of Indebtedness, announce that if elected they will de-
clare the obligations valid in case Republican threats
Of reputation are carried before that tribunal.
Yet the Republican platform declares the certifi-
Gates Illegal, unconstitutional and unwarranted. Re
publican legislators elected on that platform, unless
they do as Whybark and Higbee and openly declare
their disbelief in the plank, must vote against appro-
priating any money for the payment of interest on the
certificates.
Small wonder that the State Chairman Is telling
the speakers TO refrain from emphasizing the impor-
lance of this plank. He would like a few votes and
has begun 10 realize that they can't be secured on the
School Fund issue.
Yet the people will not let the Republicans drop il.
The Republican spoils-hunters took up the issue with
the sole purpose of capturing votes and they must suf-
fer the consequences. The voters will not allow the
men who have been sending out of the State reports
of n "dissipated School Fund 10 escape the penalty.
They dragged the question into politics after 1t had
been settled by one election. Let Republican speakers
ignore the proposition. Democrats will not. The
honor of the State must be upheld.

Here may be seen at a glance the calamitous OPP
GRAFTON Of the Dingley tariff as bearing upon Ameri-
can consumers. 1t will be perceived at the same time
that the tariff is a bonanza for the trusts, enabling
them to obtain exorbitant prices for their products
in this country by means of preventing outside compe-
titiOn, thus p~erfecting a monopoly against which the
American buyer has absolutely no protection. 1t is
not surprising that the trust beneiciaries so freely
support with their money and influence the political
party which now maintains the high tariff in ODE
dience to the ommands of the trusts. But there is
just cause for wonderment that any considerable body
of American voters should support such a party.
Every Republican ballot cast is a vote for the con-
tinued oppressive taxation of the people to further
enrich the trusts. This truth is made manifest by the
discount sheets Of American trusts showing how
shamelessly the American people are being robbed by
the monopoly corporations which owe their existence
and their power TO Republican policies.
The St. Louis Republic. [volume] (St. Louis, Mo.) 1888-1919, 1902-07-29
is KERENs THE INTERMEDIARY?

Has the Republican harmony" agreement reached
that stage where National Committeeman Kerens, the
only avowed candidate for the minority nomination
for United States Senator, is the intermediary be-
tween Colonel Phelps and State Chairman Atkins?
There has been a great show of harmony" since
the conference in the Missouri Pacific offices. Atkins
was not there, but his representative, Frank Roberts,
was, so that the views of Phelps could be learned al
most first-hand.
At the Joplin judicial Convention, Colonel Kerens
fraternized with the State Chairman and then took
the street car for Carthage, where he spent the even
ing in consultation with Phelps.
AT the Southern Hotel, shortly after a conference
with Republican nominees, Kerens and Phelps held
another consultation in the interests OF the agree
ment."
Now the Republican organs are emphasizing the
friendly relations existing between Atkins and Kerens.
Has a messenger service been established between
Phelps and Atkins? Won't Atkins and Phelps get to-
gether in any other way? That they are together is
evident from the harmony" which prevails among
the elements now working for Republican success. But
why not get together in person as well as in deed?

THE TARIFF AND TRUST PROFITS.

When Mr.. John W.. Gates tells of how the first
barbed-wire factory which he established made a
profit Of about 80 per cent a week" on the capital
invested, and of how the next, a larger factory, made
profits of nearly 400 per cent annually, he proves, I'M
Willingly, the appalling cost of the high tariff to the
American people.
The barbed wire which Mr.. Gates manufactured
was bought by Americans, who had to pay the ex-
orbitant prices which netted to Mr.. Gates these profits
of 80 per cent a week in one instance and of 400 per
cent a year in another. The tariff duties prevented
competition, SO that the barbed wire mills had the con-
sumers at their mercy. Evidently these infant in
dustries" bled the American people to the limit.
Mr.. Gates and others engaged in the barbed wire
business were so encouraged by their profits of 80
per cent a week and 400 per cent a year, extorred
from American consumers because of the monopoly
created by the high tariff, that they proceeded TO COM
gest monopoly, capitalized for something like s1.OOO-
100000. 1t is this gigantic monopoly which has lust
announced that it would this year make net earnings
of $140,O00,O0J, and that it is steadily earning Il per
cent on its enormous capitalization. The Steel Trust
has a practical monopoly of its field, secured to IL by
the operation Of the high protective tariff. Therefore
it compels American consumers to pay the exorbitapt
prices accounting for profits to the trust aggregating
$140,000,000 per year.
The Steel Trust is ardently supporting the Repub-
lican party for continued control Of our Government.
The managers of that monopoly know that they can
continue to bleed the American people Just as long as
the Republican party remains in power. The other
monopoly trusts are similarly awake to this same
truth and are supporting the Republican cause with
money and influence. The Democratic party stands
opposed to these trusts, upholding, instead, the rights
Of the people against the privileges of the trusts.

IF ONLY FOR VARIETIES SAKE.

Judge G. A. Finkelnburg, Colonel D.. P. Over and
Major William Warner viii undoubtedly produce the
desired EFFECT if they shall see fit to come before
the voters Of their party with formal declarations of
their candidacy for the Republican nomination to the
United States Senate.
For some years past Colonel Richard c. Kereus
has rather monopolized this field, and much of the e,-
isdng Republican dissension in Missouri. it is claimed
is due to Colonel Kerenss apparent conviction that
he stands for all there is Of Senatorial timber among
the Republicans of Missouri.
1t should be rather refreshing to have Colonel Ker-
enss impersonation Of the Lone Fisherman done
away with by the entrance Of others to his fishing
grounds.
Wherefore it is to be hoped that Judge Finkeln-
burg, Colonel Dyer and Major Warner shall frankly
come out into the open and make a race for the Sem
atorial nomination.
They have served their party faithfully and their
claims entitle them to a respectful hearing. A very
wearisome element Of monotony viii be dispeIled If
Colonel Kerens must now be one Of a quartet instead
of'sgsin ~infictng Us with that Senatorial solo which
hesknows so well and sings so badly.
Unfortunately, the pleasure Of the theory of compe-
ttion Is destroyed BY the fact that Kerens and Atkins
