CONGRESS HAS roEcED THE ISSUE.

CONGRESS- HAS FORCED THE ISSUE.
To extent that makes 1t impossible for people to
believe longer that the Republican party bc
counted on for service that threatens in the least
lesser the monopoles enjoyed by the trusts the Re
publican majority in the Fify-seventh Congress has
manifested its stubborn determination neither
duce tariff duties enact antitrust legislation
The lesson taught by the session of Congress now
drawing its close is convincing. When that session
began, there was some promise Of legislation for the
general good. The late President Mckinley had
spoken in behalf of the principles Of reciprocity and
had declared fair dealing with Cuba The platform
upon which he had been reelected pledged his party
effective action against the trusts President Roose
vet succeeding Mr.. Mckinley in the White House,
seemed ardenty desrous of serving the people and Of
inducing Congress the people rather than the
trusts.
But trust influence in the Senate and House alike
has been all powerful In every instance where
interests were menaced Congress has been compelled
the in opposition TO the people. Nor
act contrary the truth Of this statement be
pointed in that bodys record The fact of the
Republican majorty's utter and absolute suhserviency
to the will of the trusts has been made manifest
as to appan the people There is for doubt
to where this majority stands. 1t is for the trusts
against the people first. last and all the time.
This evil teaching of the Fifty-seventh Congress
has made it imperative that the Congressional cam
pagn of 1902 and the Presidential campaign of 1904
must be fought the joint issue of the tariff and the
trusts. The American people more than ready for
tho fight realizing they do that selfpreseryation is
natures first law. They have got 10 defend them
selves against monopoly unless they propose to sur
render Internationally for all time TO The Re
publican party has forced this issue the people.
The high protective tariff. the monopoly created by
that tariff the party responsible for both are enemies
Of the public good The people must overcome these
enemies at the polls, and the alignment under the
Democratic standard in the approaching elections will
doubtless prove that there is very general popular
recognition of this truth.

THERE Is 40 PEACE.

There has been such a shouting over harmony by
Republican organs and orators during the progress of
the Republican State Convention at Jefferson City
that might well imagine the gathering fairly
saccharine with brotherly love and unity of kindred
spirits.
Yet the fact remains that knives and tomahawks
fourished while these very cries for harmony
being lifted and that the opposing factions Will
leave the convention in biterer frame of mind than
they have before known.
The Kerens crowd gave up everything to avert the
humiliation Of having other Missouri Republi-
indorsed for the Senatorshp. The ant-Kerens
crowd surrendered this Senatorial Endorsement is
sue in order to the State Craftsmanship and
tain other places of advantage in the organization
Both factions will be poignanty disappointed with
results Each hates the other because of this fact The
outlook for Republican harmony in Missouri is any
thing but bright. There harmony over
spos. Missouri Republican politicians must get up
principle.

R1GHTFU1 AMERICAN EXPANSION

Congressman De Almond of Missouri maintained
typical Democratic position in his recent speech in
the House when he declared that expansion upon the
American continent north SOUTH is the Democratic
idea of expansion not the holding by subjugatiop of
100000 people 1000 miles beyond our border
In this sense Thomas Jefferson and other
great Americans of the early days expansonists They
believed in the territorial growth of their country on
American soil But they condemned the idea of for
eign conquest Of colonial dependencies of the govern
ment Of alien and distant peoples against the
of the governed, and they framed our Declaration
Of Independence and the American Constitution that
cannot do these things without repudiatinR the
principles upon which own Government is
founded.
Mr. De Almond also in sympathy with the
early American spirit when. he said in his recent
speech he witnessed the lowering of the American
flag in Havana and the hoisting in its stead of the
flag of the free and independent Repubc,or Cuba
established with assistance and protection and
inspired by that splendid spectacle. Far more
inspiring It." ne continued, than if the American
flag had remained put in Cuba, and the faith of the
American people violated"

feel towards Cuba and tt1a Philippines alike It's
