AN IMPRUDENT DEMOCRAT,

Mr.. Burleson of Texas yesterday fol-
lowed Mr.. Wheeler of Kentucky in an
exploitation of his ability; to misrepre-
sent and abuse the administration: He
charged the president with changing his
views on the subject of trusts since he
became president, when, according to
Burleson,' he came under the control of
"the forces in the republican party which
in the past had protected trusts"
When the president accepted the nom
ination of the republican national con-
vention to the vice presidency, he gave
the largest consideration to the subject
of trusts and declared that the abuses of
such interpretations, which are real,
should be removed and recommended the
requirement Of the utmost publicity, of
trust records, and close supervision and
action by the national government, if
state control will not accomplish the reg
ulation desired for the protection of the
public. After he became president he
took the same ground, only enlarging
upon the views expressed in his letter
of acceptance, that corporations engaged
in Interstate commerce should be regu-
lated if they are found ITO exercise a
license working to public injury In his
Minneapolis speech Roosevelt advocated
as to trusts publicity and close super
vision and every rational form of regula-
tion which he as governor Of New York
state had so earnestly advocated The
president has been absolutely consistent
in his position as to trusts, and his party
is on record as leading in the matter of
legislation to regulate trusts
The first antitrust plank put in ma
tional platform was that in the republic
can platform adopted by the national con-
vention in Chicago in 1883, and, in his
| first message to congress in 1889, Presi-
dent Harrison earnestly urged regulative
legislation on the subject. The Sherman
antitrust law was enacted 1890 as "a re-
publican measure, and it was violently op-
posed in the senate by Senator
Vest and his brother democrats. In 1887
the Interstate commerce bill was enacted
and it was introduced by Senator Cullom
and was republican measure. The re-
publican party originated the whole move
ment to regulate Industrial corporations
and transportation companies. The period
of Cleveland's first administration was the
planting and poisoning time for trusts.
The cotton seed oil trust, the enyelop
trust, the whisky trust, the oiI-cloth
trust and many others took their start
then and nothing was done to regulate
them. TWAS not until 1892 that the dem
ocrats thought it worth while to put an
anti trust plank in their national plat
form. The records of the two parties are
well known. The federal court decisions

STATISTICAL OPTIMISM

The statistics of our foreign commerce
in 1901, just made public by Chief Emery
of the bureau Of foreign commerce Of the
state department, is formidable sum-
ming up of the monthly exhibits during
the year, which, grouped together, present
suggestions of remarkable prosperity in
the export trade, which means more work
for American Industries.
Last month the treasury bureau of sta
tistics issued monograph on the prog
ress of the United States in its material
industries showing the rapid development
of the leading factors of prosperity during
the century recently closed. That record
is one of the growth of wealth. of money
circulation of savings deposits, of de-
creasing interest rates, national debt re-
duction, etc. The details in that report
suggest how the national wealth has
grown from $7,135, 7SO, 900 in 1850 to s94,-
300, 900, 900 in 1900 and ), money cir.
culation from s435, ,252 in 1860
to $2175,3S7,277 in 1901. The mono
graph on foreign commerce during
1901, just issuged, shows that, while
our exports have decreased $12,565,-
1874 as compared with 190O and the
sweeping nature of our inroads upon Eu-
ropean trade preserves has been slightly
checked, we are sending Still enormous
quantities of goods to the leading manu-
featuring countries of Europe from whom
we formerly bought largely the very
things they are now buying of u.s. Our
exports in 1901 reached the formidable
figures, $1,4S7, 1854, 1891, and imports were
1929, 172, 165. Mr.. Emery, in view of the
great efforts in Europe to overcome
American competition by using our own
processes and labor saving machinery
against us, expresses the opinion that it
is possible to retain our trade by agree
ment upon reciprocal concessions in
tariff schedules. United States Consul
Mason Of Berlin in his last report to the
state department, dwelt upon the inn
gested by Mr.. Emery. The commercial
treaties between the European nations
will expire next year and it would be wise
for us to come in for some trade advan-
tage with them and secure the minimum
rate of duty for our exports and give
reciprocal concessions to them.
It is noticeable in this connection, that,
while in the iron and steel manufacturing
industry the mills are all working up to
their full capacity, and the January OUT
put of pig iron was record breaking at
1,500,000 tons, and furnace stocks are low
! not withstanding,@ and many building prof.
ects are held up because the mills are
too busy to furnish the required structural
forms, several large orders have been
sent abroad for rails and sheet bars. the
| Louisville & Nashville railroad order
ing 10000 tons of steel rails from an Eng
lish mill. The mills will not be able to
deliver new orders until next September
at the earliest. Consumers, who cannot
wait, order abroad, and have to pay S.
ton more after the duty is paid, than
the domestic article costs. All this would
seem to signify that the talk OF reaction
in our industrial activity is rather wild

DR. PFEIFFER'S EXPERIMENT

|. DR.. Emmanuel Pfeiffer, the Boston ply
sician who not only opposed vaccination,
but held that it was not preventive of
smallpox contagon, came to grief IN a
manner that is giving the doctors great
joy-though, of course, they are .charita-
Bile enough to hope that DR.. Pfeltfer Will
speedily regain his health. On his own
initiative he made test similar to that
which Health Commissioner Hall has
vainly challenged the local anti-vaccina-
tionists to make. He visited the Gallops
Island hospital and, although he was by
no means so thoroughly exposed to the
contagion as the attending physicians, he
very promptly contracted the disease.
The expectations are that he will recover.
The fact that all Of the attendants and
doctors at Gallops Island. who have been
with smallpox patients for months,
have not caught the disease, while a sin
gle visit gave DR.. Pfeiffer very severe
case, is strong proof of the value OF vac
cination. The doctors and attendants had
been repeatedly vaccinated and DR.. Pfeif-
fer had not been vaccinated, since infancy.
1t has been argued that DR.. Hall was
not justified in making challenge the
acceptance of which might risk human
| life. DR.. Durgin, who was responsible
for the visit of Pfeffer to the Gallops
Island hospital, says that he still believes
| he did right in permitting the man to
| have a chance to work out his theory, be-
cause he believes that such an expert
ment was pr)motive of good to the ma
jority. Dr.. Durgin probably feels thai

| cacy of vaccination will greatly help tht
