TRE TAREFF.TREST FaLLlcr-

The Massachusetts Republican platform is in
many respects admirable. L is especially SO in
its discussion Of the tarin and the trusts. in
which it does not merely seek the applause Of
listening Buncomhe 10 command, with resoand-
ing but eauivocsl gencralities but puts forth cx-
plicit declarations and convincing arguments.
Most admirable of all is il, perhaps. In It's brief
but effective disposition Of the demand for AN
mdiscrminatc abolition of the tariff on an arti
cles made by trusts which. crude. irrational
and insensate as II is, seems 10 form the head
and front of the Democratic plan OF campaign
80 far Is trusts and tariff are concerned.
That demand, as this platform well SAYS. ana
hs we have Frequently pointed out in these col
nmnS, ignores the fact that the tariff has no
connection with trusts, a. is apparent from the
circumstance that the chief countries ~ Eu-
rope, free trade Great Britain and the protec-
ZIONIST lands Of the Continent alike. are literal
~ ''pinstercd all over with trusts" regardless
of their fiscal policies. The inevitable result #
the adoption Of such policy is described in the
platform in epigrsmmatic phrases which de-
serve 10 be taken TO heart by every citizen Of
this republic 1T would mean the greatest nos.
.sble injury 10 all the competitors of the trusts
"and the least possible injury To the trusts
themselves" That is 20 say. n would have a
result exactly opposite 10 thar which lis advo.
Gates profess 10 desire.
For the graVamen Of the indictment of the
trusts is that they destroy competition obvl-
ously. then, the creation aud encouraremeDt ~
competition is the true policy Of those ,rbo
would repress the evils of the trust system
Now, against every trust however great ana
mOnopoistic, there is some competition. II
may be considerable or IL may he so small and
weak as 10 be inconsidersble. Seeing. however
that only about ia per cent Of the manufactures
Of this country are produced by trusts. II IS evi
dent that in the majority OF cases the indepen-
dent industrialists, competitors OF the trusts.
outnumber those la 81 trusts. In such cases
therefore. the proposed Measure would iniure
more nOn-trust than trust manufacturers. II
wouio injure the majority for the sake OF curb
Ing the minority.
There are. however. a few--a very few-in-
dustries IN which The trusts predominate, though
there Is DOT one % which a trust has a CON-
plete monopoly. Let u SUPPOSE the free trade

only these What would the result be: Why.
the few and feeble independent manufacturers
who are now struggling against odds 70 COM

crushed out % Industrial existence They
would be absolutely eliminated as factor In
the problem. And the great rich trusts,
strengthened in their position by the removal
of all domestic competition and by the creation
for them Of such q complete monopoly as they
had never before enjoyed. would be left 20 night
foreign competition without danger q fire in
the resr.
In emphasizing that point tho Massachusetts
Republicans get 20 the very heart OF the mat
ter. The mad clamor for free trade in all
trust made articles" means really the destruc-
ton OF all competition and the intrenchment Of
the trusts In absolute monopoly. For If these
great rieh powerful trusts would bc unfayor-
ably affected 10y abolition Of The tariff. the

tors should be protected and encouraged, not
stricken down. That IS a principle 50 clement
ary that II should be obvious 20 every reflective
mind. That il is ignored by those who Clamor
for free trade 10 fight the trusts apparently in
dicates one Of two things. Either such men do
not understand what they are talking about or.
more probably. they arc talking merely for Bun

The meeting Of the tenth National Irrigation
Congress yesterday was invested with a pecul-
lar and double significance. The action Of Con-
cress at the late session has made Of irrigation
a systematic public work of national rank.
Whether or not the policy then adopted was a
wise one. II was adopted. and II will doubtless
have far reaching results; and however strongly
the construction OF local irrigation works at na-
tional expense may be criticised, there can be
no question that the irrigation OF arid land
should In some way be performed. II would be
q reproach 70 humanity and 10 civilization 10
let vast areas lie sterile and uninhabita for
want OF water which can readily be supplied
Another and grimmer phase Of the signif-
cance % this congress Is suggested in the report
given in publication Of the Geological Survey.
quoted in our Washington correspondence yes
terday. That Is 10 the effect that OF the 23,394
square miles OF primcval forest not long ago
existing in the State Of Washington nearly one
third has been destroyed. AMI the major part
OF the portion destroyed has been destroyed bv
fire. That report was made before the forest
fires Of tie last few weeks, which have swept
or some thousands Of miles more. What has
thus been done and IS being done in Washing
ton has been and Is being done IN nearly every
other State Probably no other country in the
world was ever so rapidly. 50 recIlesSly and so
dissstrously deforeSted as the United States

OF the situation. While n national irrigation con

are about 10 be spent for that purpose. reckles,
and criminal men are making other lands arid at
a still more rapid rate. The So-called lumberman

the appropriate work therefor be made the ex-
cuse for breaking down the college and making

President Butler thinks that in the two year
course practically as much of valuable educa-
tion could be given as is now obtained in four
years. He says;
The dean Of Columbia College is OF the opin-
ion that such d shortened course OF two years
as II contemplated hy this suggestion could
readily be made 20 include all of the studies
now prescribed at Columbia for candidates for
the degree OF bachelor Of arts This shortened
course would therefore take on something OF
The dehnitiveress and purpose which in many
r4sas the rapid developments Of recent years
have removed from Undergraduate study: for it
goes without saying that no effort would be-
SHARED u make such two years course as
ing and for the development Of character. The
student would be a gamer. not loser. by the
change.

improvement in college teaching. The average
graduate is none too well educated now. II he
would be a gamer 10y working two years i'll

been made the victim Of a wofuI waste. and
that anybody will be foolish who hereafter
takes four yea instead Of two year course
II is the duty Of all colleges TO make the years
Of their courses as valuable Is possible both
for intellectual training and for the develop
nent Of character. and President Butler brings
serious indictment against any college which
he charges with doing less in that respect for
men IN four years than IL could do IN two IL IL

While excitement was running high at the

making statesmen candid, Mr Randolph GuS

ination Of Mr. Coler would he deplorably wesk,
and consequently that nobody need ask Mr.
Guggenheimer to accept the second place on
