Hanna Can't See Trusts.

Senator Hanna shocked the country
on October 81, 1899, by saying: 81 dc
not know of trust in the United
States" On Friday, August s, another
similar Hanna shock was felt when he
announced, at Chautauqua: There
are no monopolies in this country, ex-
cept such as are protected by patents.
Tom Johnson says that Senator Han
mas intentions are good and that he
undoubtedly wants to help labor all
he can; in fact, will devote the rest of
his life to labor's cause, but says the
senator will never accomplish much of
permanent good until he recognizes
the monopoly element in trusts and
combinations and destroyes it. But
if Hanna couldn't tell a trust or mo-
nopoly if he saw it coming up the
street, his case is hopeless. He will
continue to waste his time and good
intentions while trusts and monopo-
lies prey upon consumers, including
his much-be1oved workingman. Too
bad!

Making Things Right.

Thomas NJ. HUI, an intelligent
Toung Chinaman who is lecturing in
this country, is trying to eradicate
one of our most cherished beliefs.
He fatty denies that the members of
his race eat rats, cats, and dogs and
other quadrupeds, the flesh of which
has never. commended itself to our
fastidious tastes. He says he has
travelled all over the empire, and he
has never yet discovered a celestial
dining on rat steak, dog rib or a
cat roast.

Smothering Under Wealth.

Nobody at Newport will attemp,
to Guido Mrs. Cornelius Vanderbilt in
the glory of her fete at Beaulieu,
which provided the guests with a
complete theatrical entertainment in
n specially built theater and sent
them away with their arms full of
silver and jeweled souvenirs; so
Mrs. Vanderbilt is assured of the
championship until next summer at
least. Prosperity is indeed upon the
country, and a prosperity of the
regular Coal Oil Johnny sort.

POINTS AND OPINIONS.

Republican senators and con.
gressmen are too late in learning that
the American people demand revi-
sion of the tariff. The record of the
Fifty-seventh congress in its first ses-
sion makes it certain that the task of
tariff revision will be intrusted to the
democratic party.-St- Louis Repub-
lie.
ENDORSING republicanism is not
indorsing tariff revision or reciprocity
with Cuba. The republican party is
too close a prisoner of the trusts sue
cessfully to approach either of these
subjects. A democratic majority in
the next house of representatives is
the surest guaranty of both reciproc-
ity with Cuba and proper revision
of the tarif.-Utica Observer.
Republican, leaders are more con-
cerned over national affairs now than
they had been in some years So long
as the democrats manifested indiffer-
ence to the tariff there was no danger,
but now that tariff reform and the
regulation of trusts are being forced
to the front the democratic party
looks formidable once more-Kansas
City Star.
One of the workings of the
present tariff that is not perhaps I'M
derstood by the American consumer
is the rebate that is allowed our
manufacturers for goods exported,
thus: An American wool manufac-
turer must pay an eXorbitant duty
on wool. OF course, he adds this to
his price of carpets and cloth and
the American consumer pays it. But
if the manufacturer exports his car
pets and cloth the government re-
funds to him the duty that he has
paid on the wool that goes into
those goods. Thus the tariff dis
eliminates in the case of foreign
purchasers against our OWL people.

"Third-That grossly unfair dis

REFORM rs NEEDED.
Mayor Craddock Discusses Injustice
of Kansas Taxation Laws.
Democratic Candidate for Governor Shows
That Republicans Discriminate In Favor
OF Corporations and Against the
Farmer and Home Owner.

Topeka, Kan, Aug. 25.-The fol-
lowing speech was delivered by
Mayor w. II. Craddock, fusion nomi-
nee for governor of Kansas, at the
fusion rally in Topeka:
Mr.. Craddock started out by reply
ing to an editorial in the Kansas
City Journal, charging him with dem
agoguery in his position on the tax
alton question. The Journal called
him three kinds of fool, he said,
because he declared that taxes could
be reduced half to the people if cor
porations were assessed properly,
and the republicans of Kansas be-
lieved he was three kinds of fool
because the Journal said SO. THAT
is the way the republicans meet the
issues this campaign" said he.
"When fusionist talks about in
creasing the taxes on corporations
the republican orators and newspa-
pers at once call him a fool and ap-
plaud themselves and believe they
have put him OUT SO to speak. But
they will find out on election day."
He continued: "On behalf of the
fusion party the following state
ments have been made by me in good
faith:
''First-The statement in the dem
ocratic platform that in democratic
Missouri the Burlington road pays
taxes on a valuation of $15,335 per
mile, while in republican Kansas it

on the platform that the fusion
nominee for governor would d. 10
better; that the administration as
mayor of Kansas City, Kan, was a
fraud: that taxes were not reduced;
the city debt increased; the indie
pendent voter who elected him was
a bushwhacker. They declare the
/ little brown man saint; the Gu
bans were angels, and President
Roosevelt a second redeemer, but at
no time or place have they declared
for the interests of the people of
this state, or shown the negro where
the political turkey roasted, or
proved to the old soldier where the
law was enforced in his favor.
1--WE ask judgment on the proof
here submitted: Sam b. Cook, sec
rotary of state for Missouri, under
| date of August 5, says: Replying to
your favor of the 4th inst, 1 beg to
say the figures quoted in your state
platform as to the railroad assess
ments in Missouri and Kansas are
taken from the official records
Count 5000 miles Kansas rail-
way; voters, $4,000; population, L.
100000; state taxes for 1891, 14,O0O,-
600; the result proves our conten-
ton.
"For capitalization of public util-
ity corporations, use 1900 report,
Kansas railway commission. For
assessed value, take 1902 report of
state tax commissioners. For valua-
| ton of your home or farm, take any
of your tax receipts for past five
years.
"Take 1902 assessments reported
to state at (without railways $685.
o0O,0O0; add so per cent. Cor one
half) of $500, 900 as assessed value
of public utility corporations. The
result proves our contention, that
taxes can be reduced one-half.
Matters of common knowledge
need no proof. Every man in the
state knows the trust law, prohibi-
tory law, old soldiers law and gam
bling law are not enforced. The
reason for non-enforcement of the
| violated laws, except as to the old
soldier, have been given. From a
republican standpoint, the old soldier
| and the negro are considered reli-
able republican assets at all times
/ and in all places. They can be
scourged with impunity. They fur
nish the gun, ammunition, do the
hunting, bring the game to the feet
of the master, and must be content
with the feathers and offals as their
pay.
| kansas City, Kan, has a repub-
lican assessor, appointed by the
preceding administration, and holds
office until nearly the expiration of
my term as mayor. We also have a
republican city clerk, city treasurer
and city attorney; also republican
school board, a republican county
attorney, sheriff, treasurer and IN
til very lately a republican board of
county commissioners. The two
lone democrats are a county clerk
and city mayor. Reduction of taxes
and other gains and savings, aggre-
gate more than $356,OOO for the first
| year of the n&w administration. If
this can be accomplished in our city
in one year under all the adverse
conditions named, what might not
be accomplished in the state of Kan
sas, with all the fusion candidates
| elected and all of them pledged to
bring about reforms by enforcing
| the laws as they now are?''
