The Issues Outlined.

The Democrats of the House of Rep

gressional campaign. and upon the is
sues presented the Democracy ought

members of the next House of Repre-

The Republican party is justly and
severely denounced for its failure to
fulfill the pledges of the country to
grant relief to Cuba. The platform de-
clares that THE bill which passed the
| House of Representatives was heartily
| supported by the Democratic minority
after the protection to the sugar trust
had been removed by the solid Demo
| cratic vote. aided by small minority
| of the Republican members. As II
passed the House the bill carried relief
TO Cuba, reduced the price of sugar to
/; American consumers and struck a
heavy blow at the notorious and OBJ
noXious sugar trust The refusal of the
Republican Senators TO consider this
measure unless the protection to the
sugar trust should be restored, gives
evidence that the President and Re.
publican party In Congress are willing
TO refuse relief to Cuba and totally ig-
more American consumers rather than
abandon their alliance with the trusts.
The failure Of all reciprocity legisla
ton with Cuba rests upon the Republi
can administration, which Is willing
to reduce the duty on the raw sugar of
our producers, but unwilling to destroy
the sugar monopoly"
The House Democrats favor an
amendment Of the antitrust law so as
to protect trade against unlawful res
traints and monOpOlies, and rightly
declare that the Republican majority

country in their grasp. The Repub-
iican Congress has refused to pass an
antitrust bill. or to take any steps to
suppress trusts or to assist any anti
trust bill introduced by Democratic
members Of Congress.
Trusts and the tariff and failure to
relieve Cuba are the paramount issues
laid down by the House Democrats,
and the discussion of these issues in a
forcible manner will undoubtedly
arouse popular sentiment against the
Republican Congress and party.-Syra-

Montgomery was thronged with visit

doors in executive session. The halls

as something else. But the counter
feiters declared that they would be

they threw the usual threat to the
other protected interests: IF we are

party is in the grip of private interests.
Millions are invested in the shoddy
business. 1t has corrupted nearly the
whole clOth-making trade. Behind the
tariff fence 1t is found more profitable
to manufacture counterfeit than real
cloth. Hence the proposal to interfere
with shOddy alarmed one of the most
highly protected interests In the cOun-
try. Though there was no attempt to
touch the tariff on materials from
which shoddy is manufactured. the
fight in shOddy's behalf was waged by
tariff sheltered clOth-makers.

Belated Roo.eveitian Thunder.


Now that Congress, the only power
that can deal with the trusts, has ad-
jOurned. President Roosevelt is awfully
mad at the big cOrRbines and he Is 60
ing to do terrible things. The simple
method Of dealing with the trusts was
pointed out not alone by Democratic
statesmen and newspapers. but by
many Of the ablest Republicans and
Republican newspapers in the country.
but President Roosevelt was SO busy
not listening that he failed to hear of
it, and so Congress escaped before the
proposed remedy could be forced be-
fore it for consideration. The remedy
proposed was to put all articles manu-
factured or produced by the trusts on
the free list. II Congress had taken
that step it would have smashed the
trusts at once; and there's the secret Of
Congress not taking that step and
there's the secret of Teddy's failure to
