ing an order for a recount as prayed.
That the Court had no power or jurisdic-
tion to pass any such order as that pray
ed for in the petition until Il case is made

THE TARIFF 1N1QuITY.
n.ruhlican. Now Have q Chance to
Fulnll Their Promise to Put
Down the Trusts.

The republicans having won control
Of congress for the next two years, OF
until after the national election OF
1904, it is incumbent on them to carry
out the pledges made by the admins
tration to legislate against the bad
trusts,
!. Everyone but the coal barons admits
Ahat the coal trust is bad trust.
Therefore the duty must come off coal
hard coal and soft coal. There
should be no quibbling about that.
The administration has set its ban
upon the meat trust by beginning le-
gal proceedings against 1t. This may
have been done for political effect, the
diliatory way in which the suit against
the beef merger has been prosecuted
would warrant that conclusion. But
the fact remains that the meat trust
was denounced by the administration,
before election, as bad trust. This
will compel congress to remove the
duty on, cattle and dressed meat. The
steel trust vas denounced by Mr.. Bah
cock, chairman of the republican
campaign committee, two years ago,
b
revise the tariff on steel and other
products of the trust, SO it is conceded
by at least one faction of the repub-
Lean party that the steel trust is
bad one. If all republicans cannot be
brought to think the steel trust is a
bad trust, small minority that do SO
believe will find the democrats quite
willing to vote with them to abolish
or reduce the steel and iron schedule
The book trust has been proved by
indisputable evidence to be one OF the
most rapacious trusts, charging three
times as much for its products here as
abroad. This should entitle it to be
classed amongst the bad trusts and
the tariff law amended accordingly.
The list Of bad trusts might be ex-
Tended into hundreds, and number
cited who are selling cheaper abroad
than here, but the few above described
should at once receive the attention of
congress and their protection be re-
moved.
The republicans have been declaring
from every stump that they will re-
form the tariff, so that the trusts shall
not continue to rob the people by
charging them excessive prices for
trust productions. They also said that
the tariff must be reformed by its
friends, so that business interests may
not suffer, and it is incumbent on them
to carry out the promises made by
their speakers and organs. This ap-
plies to the dominant or Roosevelt fac
lion, and not to Senator Hanna and the
old guard. who refused to pledge them
selves and believe the present trust
tariff should not be disturbed. In the
meanwhile the proposed tariff com
mission can be inaugurated and inyes
tigate the whole tariff and report 70,
later action by congress.
