Earnings of an Infant Industry.

During the past Elk months the net
earnings OF the Steel Trust reached the
gigantic total of $64, 407, 1853, show
ing OF profits which is announced by
the corporation itself as being the
largest in its history.
This tremendous combination, hav-
ing a monopoly of the American steel
industry, capitalized for something
like 81, 900, 100000, declaring annual
dividends and payments of interest
amounting to nearly 1925, 900. 900, sell
ing its products in all the markets of
the world in competition with European
steel plants, is one of the "infant in
dustries" for whose maintenance the
American people are are still required
to pay colossal tax in the shape OF
tariff duties.
The Dingley high tariff is main
tanned at the instance of the trust
organizations of which the Steel Trust
is so representative a specimen. These
great combines claim that their busi-
nesses would be ruined by European
competition were it not for restrictive
tariff, Yet all of them are undersell-
ing European competitors in European
markets. The American consumer.
however, is paying the high prices
made possible by tariff which is a
direct tax upon the American people.
He is paying more for American made
goods than is paid by the European
consumer for the same goods.
The gigantic earnings of the Steel
Trust are taken from the American
people in the form of this tariff tribute.
Little wonder that the Steel Trust and
all other trusts are such ardent
champions of the Republican party,
which has created and fostered their
respective monopolies. Little wonder
that they contribute millions to Re-
publican campaign slush-funds and
exert all their influence to compel
their thousands of employees to vote
the Republican ticket. The continu-
ance of the Republican party in con-
troll of this Government means mil
lions and millions of dollars to the
trusts-and these millions are paid by
the American people without gaining
the slightest benefit in return. The
lesson of the enormous earnings of the
Steel Trust "infant industry" should
not be lost upon the taxpaying public.

The Same Old Story.

J. A. Kelly relates an experience
similar to that which has happened
in almost every neighborhood in the
United States and has been told and

says "Last summer had an attack of
dysentery and purchased a bottle of
Cham mberlain's Collie, Cholera and
Diarrhoea Remedy, which used &C.
cording to directions and with entirely
satisfactory results. The trouble was
controlled much quicker than former
attacks when | used other remedies. "

"We c. | attention to the antitrust
plank in lie Republican national plat
form, ant point to the rapid growth of
great trus s and monopolles since the
election of 1900 and the utter failure
of the Republican party to suppress
them, as an evidence of insiucerity of
their profession or lack of ability to
apply corrective remedies TO this great
wrong.
The Administrations failure to en-
force the criminal law against these
trusts proves the subserviency of the
Republican party to corporate power.
ave charged the Republican lead
ers in 1900 with an intention TO estab-
lish in the Philippines a permanent
colonial system fashioned after the
colonial systems of Europe, and that
intention then denied is now fully ap-
parent. We therefore cordially COM
mend the substitute offered by the
Democrats of the House and Senate to
the administration measure on the
Philippine question providing for the
Philippines the same form of govern
ment now enjoyed by the Cubans.
"We are opposed to the Fowler cur
rency and banking bill, pending in

stroys independent banks and substi-
tutes therefor the European branch

on assets, and alse because, by max
ing the silver dollar redeemable in

"We indorse the action OF the Demo-
cratic and Populist members of Con-
gress from Nebraska. Especially do
we commend them for their support of
