Tarif and Trusts.

Iarlu ana trusts.
Editor Register:
!. We want to tell in plain language
how the tariff helps the trusts.
A trust is syndicates, manufac-
turing the same article, binding
themselves together. and each ons
is to sell goods at the same price
By joining their interests together
they can fix their own price. If
they were each working separate.
each one would be endeavoring to
sell goods. Therefore, that would
create competition. By uniting,
home competition is shut out.
Now if foreign manufacturers were
allowed to bring their products,
free of duty, that would create COM
petition again. The syndicates
foresaw this and had high proteo-
tion tariff laws passed, to keep out
foreign goods. IF they had oompe-
tition, they would want to sell their
goods, and one after another they
would commence to compete with
the goods of other countries, and
then with themselves, thus break
ing up the trusts.
While it is right to protect Amer
ican industry, it is not right to pro-
tect it to the extent it is now pro-
tected.
When this trust will sell goods
cheaper to foreigners than they
will to home consumers, they are
thereby robbing their own coun-
trymen. tits q fact they can manu-
facture goods and sell them cheap
than they do; or, why would they
leave their own country to compete
with foreign manufactures? Why
can't they sell to their own people
as cheap as any other people?
Because high protective tariff
gives them a chance land they
promptly take it) to rob the peo-
pie of this country. They have
no love but greed; and to think a
party which claims to right the
wrongs of the laboring people,
would pass law, which is against
their interest; a law that legalizes
robbing.
The Republican party, in pass
ing the high protection tariff laws,
has done more against the laboring
class than any other acts that have
even been passed.
1t shows that the Republican
party is in the hands of the trusts.
The Republican bows to the power
of the trusts. The Democratic
party bows to no power except the
peoples.
Which perty will you trust, the
one that bows to the will of the
people, or the one that worships
the golden calf and cares for none
humanity, patriotism, liberty
all sacrificed for the love of goldP
What will your answer be?

1t is an unwritten law of polite
society that if one desires to be in
vited out again he must behave
himself and observe the rules that
govern the we'll bred. aud this law
has special application to the
young who would mingle with the
older. Sarcasm is a dangerous
weapon, and should not be taken
as an evidence of craftsmanship.
The men of the greatest influence
are those whose mild manner of
speech first convinces, then wins
over. We can grow mellow with
age. But in the fiery moments of
youth, when one supposes himself
possessed of more knowledge than
the average mortal of mature years
who is frequently looked upon as
fossil, would be considered smart
causes blush when reflected upon
in after life.

THE CROPS ABROAD.
Prospect of nm Abundant Yield of
Grain In Europe Only Partially
FULFILLED.

Washington, Oct. 1s.-The depart
ment of agriculture's summary of
the crops of the world shows that
owing to the remarkably cool and
wet summer experienced throughout
a considerable part of Europe, the
harvest of 1902 is n of the latest
on record. The promise of an album
dant yield, therefore, has been only
partly fulfilled in Europe, allowing
for grain gathered in damaged con-
dition and for that actually spoiled.
In the Ease of bread grains there
will be a demand among millers, in
