The mineral wealth Of Alaska has been the sub

few years, much that the other wealth-produc-

the Governor Of Alaska, the Hon John G. Brady,
it is beginning to dawn upon the people that the
territory is susceptible to great agricultural pos
sbilities. Many who have gone to the country in
tending to become miners, being practical farmers
have titled the soil for vegetables and grain in and
around Skagway Dyea Fort Selkirk, Dawson and
other places and are surprised at their great sue

THE Ell RERrA PEACH AND TOWN

The Topeka Herald is the authority for the in
formation that the peach which attains such per-
lection in the vicinity of Wichita was named for
a Kansas woman The paper goes to say that a
town in Texas is to be named Ell Berta That name
has a distinctly Spanish flavor but it is more
Spanish than Hooligan Zutski is Spanish The
new town is to be named after a Kansas woman.
1t is dollars TO doughnuts that the manners of the
town don't know that there is a woman in the case
but there is, and her connection with the town
is this good many years ago Kansas man sue
ceeded in propagating a and particularly lus-
cious brand of peach. He cast about for a fitting
for his horticultural creation and finally
named it after his wife, liberia. The new peach
grew particularly well in Texas and the town
is to be established in the heart Of the country
where the peach has attained its greatest size
Hence the name. Why it is divided thus 'El Ber-
ia" is not explained, but the new town is named
after a Kansas woman, all right.

JUST THE KIND OF MAN HE IS.

Leavenworth Times: Congressman Long is the
kind Of Republican that it pays to tie to. He
is making the campaign in his district asking the
Republicans in every representative district to vote
for the Republican candidate regardless of his
choice for senator. He is willing elect the Re
publcans to the legislature and then take his
chances with the rest This is in the great contrast
with Congressman Curtis who is going into dis
tricts where have been nominated for him
and making personal pleas for them, Dut taking no
part in the campaign in districts where he has no
candidates while it is openly said that his friends
are knitting candidates in some districts where the
men known to be too strong in their opposition
to him. Comparisons are generally odious and they
are extremely for Curtis when he is placed along
side the Seventh district member. Long is states
man, Curtis is a contemplate politician.

OIL AND COAL TRUSTS.
Dingley Bill Juggled I'm the Senate in
the Interests of Standard Oil and
Anthracite Combines.

1t has been the general belief of most
writer's and speakers that neither the
Standard Oil nor the anthracite coal
trusts were protected by tariff duties
on petroleum and anthracite coal.
President Roosevelt reflected the popu-
lar error on this subject when he said,
in his speech at Cincinnati on Septem-
Der 20, in speaking of the proposal to
take the duty off articles which are
made by trusts:
'FurthermOre, the products of many
trusts are unprotected ard woulG be en-
drely unaffected by any change in the
tariff. at most very slightly so. The
Standard Oil Company offers a case in
point; and the corporations which control
the anthracite coal output offer another
for there is duty whatever on anthracite
COAL"
Those are strong assertions, even if
the Dingley tariff act is what it, on its
face, appears to be.
Clearly the anthracite coal trust is
protected by the duty of 81 cents per
ton on bituminous coal. We import
great quantities of coal from Canada
and British Columbia and bituminous
completes with anthracite along our
entire border. New England, especial
ly, is burdened, at all times, by the
duty on Nova Scotian coal and COM
PEELED by it, to use much more anthra-
on the free list. Besides, there being
no anthracite on this continent, and
almost none in the world, outside of
Barton County democrat. [volume] (Great Bend, Kan.) 1885-1915, 1902-10-24

this country, it is apparently superfiu-
Gus to put duty on any but bitumin-
Gus coal.
The Standard Oil trust, likewise, was
not without protection, either in for
mer tariff bills Or in the Dingley bill,
even on its face. This trust manufac-
lures several hundred products, all of
which Except refined petroleum, par
ATTN and possibly a few others), are
now, and have been for years, protect
ed by tariff duties of from 20 per cent.
to As per cent. or more. Besides this
trust is by far the greatest beneficiary
of our drawback tariff law, and, sim
ply because it is big and can afford to
obtain drawbacks which it will not pay
small manufacturers to obtain, re-
ceives benefits because of the existence
of tariff duties, on tin plate especially.
Under these conditions and circum-
stances, which have existed for many
years under all recent tariff bills, any
man. with even superficial knowledge
of the tariff and of the coal and peitro-
leum industries, would hesitate to as
sert that these trusts "are unprotect-
ed and would be entirely unaffected by
any change in the tariff" unless he
were making stump speech and knew
his hearers would not take him serious
ly. Certainly our president is supposed
to have more than a superficial know1-
edge of a law which it is his duty to
enforce and of conditions concerning
which he assumes to instruct the peo-
pie from the stump or the train.
But the Dingley bill, like its proto-
IL L. = L -
appears. on its face, to be. 1t was Jug
gled in the senate. which is the legis-
lative rendezvous of the trusts. 1t is
in the finance committee of the senate.
presided over by that smooth and cum
ming agent of the protected interests,
Senator Aldrich, that the trusts get in
their fine work.
Both the coal and petroleum sched-
ules of the Dingley bill were iuggled in
the secret committee room of the sem
ate and presumably in the interests of
the trusts. whose agents are always
on hand at opportune times.
When the Dingley bill went to the
senate all anthracite coal was clearly
ton the free list. as it had been since
July IA, 1870. and bituminous coal was
dutiable at IS cents per ton. AS the
bill became law it reads paragraph
415) Goal, bituminous, and all Goals
containing less than 90 per centum of
fixed carbon, and shale 81 cents per
ton of 2s bushels. so pounds to the
bushel," and, in the free list (para-
graph 523), ''coal. anthracite, not
specially provided for in this act'
The fact that no cargo of coal is i'm
ported commercially that contains
more than % per cent. of fixed carbon,
makes it clear that the Dingley act
puts duty of GO cents per ton on all
coal. This conclusion was stated by
Senator Vest when the Dingley bill was
being discussed in the ser4,te and is in
accord with the decision on the board
of general appraisers January II, 1898.
and of the circuit court of the United
States. both of which declared that
Barton County democrat. [volume] (Great Bend, Kan.) 1885-1915, 1902-10-24
shipment of anthracite coal from

shipment of anthracite coal from
Wales was dutiable.
Apparently the Christian men" OF
the anthracite coal trust to whom
God in His infinite wisdom" consigned
the hard coal mines of Pennsylvania
became satisfied in 1897 that they
their business, a duty on anthracite
coal. They confabbed with the chair
man of the finance committee and he,
as usual, said:
certainly, 1 am always ready to
obHge the trusts. AS you gentlemen
are going to perfect and strengthen
your trust and regulate production and
prices, my sympa thies are with you. I
perceive that there may come a time,
when the price of your coal gets very
high. when some cold, unpatriotic per-
son might wish to import the anthra-
cite coal from Wales. Now if, as you
say, Welsh coal never shows. on an
average test, 90 per cent. of fixed car
bon, l think 1 can fix you up without
even attracting the attention Of the
public. Perhaps you will permit me
to reduce the duty on bituminous coal
few cents, just few cents to give
an appearance of fairness, you know,
when extending the duty to all coal"
Thus the trick was done and not one
in thousand of our people knew that
anthracite coal had been made duti-
able. Even our strenuous presid ent
made a mistake because he didn't hap
pen to read the Dingley act before he
began to lecture on it.
The Standard Oil company joined the
long list of protected trusts in much
the same way as did the anthracite
Barton County democrat. [volume] (Great Bend, Kan.) 1885-1915, 1902-10-24
BRYAN HITS SHAW.
Says the Secretary Is Running the
Treasury in the Interests
of Wall Street.

W. ]. Bryan says Secretary Shaw has
been guilty of breach of public trust
by pursuing the same policy the repub-
lican party denounced the democrats
for doing in 1SSS-loaning the govern
ment money, without interest, to pet
banks In his Commoner Mr.. Bryan
says:
1.-The present secretary of the treasury
has gone far beyond any previous secretary
in responding to the wishes and advancing
the interest of pet banks The partial
ity shown by the treasury department to
the Rockefeller bank in New York is well
known.
But the recent rumors of Secretary
Shaw go beyond anything that has hereto
fore been known 1t is gross fayoritism.
to let the banks have government money for
nothing, in order that they may loan 1t
out TO their customers at the usual rate of
interest The fact that they give bonds
for security has nothing to co with it. be-
cause they draw interest on the bonds at
the same time that they draw interest on
the government money which they are per-
had loaned out so much money the wa
tered stock of the trusts that they were
not prepared for any shrfnkage in their de-
posts, and the government at once went to
their aid.
whether the secretary has violated the
law in his effort to rescue the banks is
question which will probably be discussed
when congress meets, but that he Is run

est of Wall street Is a question which is not
