Two Ia}evlng Trusts OUTSIDE

tbs Tariffs Shelter.
'If the tariff is the mother of the
trusts" writes Republican reader
of the American, chow do you account
for the Standard Oil and Anthracite
Coal Trusts, two of the most complete
monopolies in this country? Neither
kerosene nor anthracite coal receives
any protection from the tariff"
The reason why there are no tariff
duties for the protection of these two
trusts is that they have no foreign
competition TO fear. If such compe.
tition lreatened nobody Will DOUBT
that whatever duties com binations
SO rich and powerful might ask for
wonld be obseQuiously granted by the
republican party.
The STANDARD Oil and Coal Trusts
have become monopolies by protect
ing themselves against home compe-
tition.---
There is more than one way of max
ing trust. The tariff has created
and gives con tinuing shelter to many.
The coal and Oil Trusts depend OF
the railroads to do for them what The
Custom House does for monopolies
which can be monopolies only while
foreign importations in rivalry with
them are barred.
The STANDARD Oilcompany was born
of conspiracy with the railroads
Competitors were charged higher
rates and denied transportation for
their Oil on any terms, when that
course suited the interest of the con,
spiratols. Not only was the STANDARD
given secret rebate on its own Ship,
ment3, but actually a rebate also OF
the Oil shipped by producers outside
OF the ring. Thus independent pro
ducerS were driven out of the field
To this day the Standard Oil Trust
owes its nlaStership Of the market tt
railroad Discrimination.
The coal trust is composed of eight
railroad companies, which have com.
bined to kill off Independent opera
tors. More than nine tenthS of the
anthracite deposits are now owned by
these roads. They are forbidden by
their charters to engage in mining,
but they evade that prohibition by
forming subsidiary companies.
The methods pursued by the Stand
ard Oil and Coal Trusts in order to
do for themselves What the tariff does
for other trusts, and SO advance theil
business interests, are quite as law
less as the conduct of miners WHO
seek to win a strike, and SO advance
their business interests, by reSortine
to violence. The lawlessness of the
Coal and Oil Trusts, however, is moi
of a kind that Immediately disturbs
the public peace; therefore it does NOT
cause the troops to be called out.
The tariff is the mother Of trusts,
but not of all trusts.
tits the mother of so very many of
them, however, that the first step
necessary to take if the trusts are to
be smashed must be to strip them Of
the shelter which the tariff gives to
monopoly.
The republican party will not do
the stripping because the republican
party is owned by the trusts.-Chica-

The residents here are much fright

having taken all measures necessary

To Protect American Interests.
Washington, Aug. 1.-THE navy
department Saturday morning re-
ceived the following cablegram from
Commander McCrea, of the gunboat
Machias, dated Cape Haytien, August
o: 'Haytien gunboat landed force
at Cape Haytien on Friday after
noon. An engagement is hourly ex-
pected. Will be ready to land
Commander McCrea is under gen
efal instructions to protect American
interests, and in addition Friday re-
oeived special instructions to prevent
the cutting of the cable of the United
States & Haytien company. This is
not a French company, as referred to
Friday, but is purely an American
company, being part of the CONNER
| cial company's system. Commander
McCrea will contne himself strictly
to that mission and Will not take
sides either for or against the de
facto government.
NFeut III McSfc4,
Great confidence is reposed in the
,, ability and cool-headedness of Com
mander McClva and no fresh instruc-
lions were considered necessary. The
Machias has Il complement of about
1870 men, including marine guard of
10, ana could land force of about
50 men all told A Colt rapid-tire
gun which she has aboard could be
sent ashore with a landing party.
The Machias has eight 4-inch guns in
her main battery, four 6-pounders
| and two 1-pounders in her secondary
battery, all rapid-fire, and under the
threat of these guns 1t is quite I'M
likely that either the Haytien gun
boat or general Firmin's force ashore
would care to make an issue.
Acting Secretary of the Navy Oar
ling Saturday sent the following ca
blegram to Commander McCrea, of
the Machias:
Your actions are approved. Gut

 Resolved further that it is the sense of this meeting that any member of our state or county committee who is now or may be- come a candidate for any office, county, state or federal, should resign his position as such committeeman, believing that the interest of our party can be best and more honorably sub- served by keeping the party or ganization entirely separated from the cortaminating influence of office.

Sometimes it pays a business man to be in possession of one of these simple pieces of paper; for instance: Where would Brother Cutler, our neighbor, be at if he didn't have one? It's plain to be seen where all the rest of the Platt block storekeepers are, because they didn't have a simple piece of paper.

Body Found on Tracks of Highland
 Division at Plainville.

Division at Plainville
 The body of John l.. Dougherty, 39 years old, of 1561a South Elm street, was found at 6 o'clock this morning beside the tracks of the Highland division railroad, just west of the Plainville station. The man was dead when found and had probably been run over by several trains, as the body was badly mangled. .
 Mir Dougherty lived with his parents on South Elm street and was employed in the polishing department at Rene dict X Burnham's. He had dinner at the house yesterday and then left for Taftyille to see his wife and two chill dren, who live there. Besides his parents, widow and children, he leaves three brothers and six sisters. One of his sisters is Miss K. Dougherty, who is conducting dry and fancy goods establishment in the Holohan block on South Main street. The family came here from Willimantic several years ago. Before coming to this city, MT Dougherty had been working in Taftville and had plans under way to bring his wife and children here. No one appears to know how the accident happened, but it is supposed that he was on lis way to Taftyille when be got struck by the cars, as letter from his wife was found in his pocket, and it was by this he was identified. Un- dertAker Bergin brought tne remains to Waterbury this afternoon.
