the high character, of his exalted posi-
ton. He is stronger with the people, as
President than he was as Nicc-Presi-
dent, and has undoubtedly grown in the
esteem and regard of his countrymen.
1t was therefor the proper and natural
thing for the Republican Leaders of his
own state to endorse him as the logical
Presidential Candidate in 1904. He is
justly entitled, by virtue of his Presiden-
tial Record, to such endorsement.
But if this approval of his party lead
ers, rests solely on the Presidents pre-
sent popularity, it may yet prove delu-
sive honor Very many issues may yet
arise, to excite differences of opinion,
and cause friction between Congress and
the President.
Possibly the severest tests of his saga
city and strength are yet to come, since
his administration must run the gauntlet
of two more sessions of Congress. He
may grow still stronger in the esteem of
the people, and find fresh evidences of
public favor, but it is not so certain that
his popularity will increase with the
Congressional Leaders of his party, who
select, or at least think they select, Pres
dential Candidates.
AS the Philadelphia Ledger sensibly
says it is well to remember that Presi-
dents have been named by popular feel
ing and demand, despite the protest and
active opposition of the political leaders.
Cleveland was nominated and elected
President against the most aggressive
antagonsms of the leaders and their
powerful followers of his own State
people "who loved him for the enemies
he had made"
The political leaders of New York,
who on Saturday declared President
Roosevelt the logical candidate for 1904,
may have perceived the height and
breadth of the flood of popular sentiment
in his favor, and so shrewdly got into
the life-boat with him; but whether in
1904 they be with him or against him
he will still be the logical candidate of
the Republican Party for reelection.
The people will so declare unless things
go much awry with him during the next
two years.

THE FACT ABOUT TRUSTS.

nj more clamorous, when address
\ ing the people-for some legal
and effective restraint of Trusts
and Combinations, than the average
Democratic Congressman, and none more
dcnunciatory Of the evils Of monopolies,
than the Editors of partizan Democratic
newspapers.
And yet the fact remains, that the
only Legislative attempts to curb their
aggression, have been made by Rcpubli-
cans.
After the passage 10y Congress of the
Sherman Antitrust Act. which was Il
Republican measure. it was discovered
that the provisions of the law were in
adequate to protect the public against
Combinations, and agreements in res
traint of trade, and amendments offered
in Congress by Republicans to strengthen
votes.
In the Fifty-SiXth Congress. the Rep
ublicanS again attempted additional leg
islation in the way of Amendments to
the original Act, designed to remedy its
defects. and to enable its provisions TO
he applied without evasion to all COM
hnationS made in restraint of competi-
ton and trade. But as Il contemporary
truthfully says. the Democrats in Con
grcSs aligned themselves soldly against
this Republican legislation. and for the
time being killed il. At that time their
defense was that the proposed legislation
was an cncroachm"nt on states rights
"rhcir excuse now for their opposition to
the Presidents program for proper and
responsible control of the monopoly
power is that they cannot join any move
mcnt with that purpose in view unless
it is joined with the purpose of repeal
ing the tariff duties.
But whether they fall back on the
states rights defense or whether their
excuse is offered in the name of tariff
smashing the fact remains that the only
thing that prevented Legislation by the
Fitty-SiXth Congress providing for con-
troll of the "TruStS" was the Democratic
representation in that National Assem-
bly,. The fact remains that, aside from
tho TRUSTS and Monopolics themselves
and their hired organs and agents, the

THE PRESIDENTS SPEECHES SOUTH.

~ VERY impartial reader of Presi-
X dent Roosevet's speeches, dcliv-
IL cred during his short Southern
trip must admit, that he is doing
salutary work for the health of the Ma
ton, in breaking down sectional, class,
and unreasoning partizan feeling. Al
with him upon questions of political
character yet the conviction is general
among all classes. that the President is
sincere, honest and patriotic.
His utteranccs relative to the obiga-
tions Of citizenship. delivered at Ashc-
vile, are noticcably timely and forciblc.
"The average citizen must realize that it
is on his shoulders that the entire Gov
eminent structure rests. We get in the
habit of speaking of the Government as
If it were something apart from us.
Now, the Government is uS-wc are the
Government, you and |. And the Gov
eminent is going to do well or ill accord
ingly as we. with sanity, with resolution
with broad charity and sound common
sense, make up our minds that the af-
fairs of the Government shall be man
aged"
There are strong material reasons for
the ready acceptance by the South of
the statesmanlike utterances of the Pres
ident. During the past year, the cotton
industries Of the Southern States show
an increase of over seven million spind-
les, while for the same period, the New
England States show an increase of
only one hundred thousands. As an ey-
change pertinently states, Kansas and
Nebraska towns are holding "corn festi-
walls" instead of Populist meetings. and
the people everywhere are trying to get
in touch with the money power rather
successfully; but during the Populist
period there was bitterness, an uncom-
promising, unreasoning, pestiferous crit
icism of the Government, the Nations
rulers and its institutions which cannot
be explained by bad crops or bad times
generally. 1t was Il state of mind
which appeared TO denote downright
hostility to the Government regardless
of the fact that there the people them
selves are the Government"
That time has passed. The people

TIE TRUSTS AND RAILROADS.

TN \ recent speech of Congressman
Littlefeld delivered during the
Il Campaign in Maine, he cited the
fact that Anthracite coal is not
protected by duty, nor is Coal Oil duti-
able under the present Tariff Act, yet
both these commodities are the subjects
of colossal combinations.
While Congressman Littlefield states a
fact, and it is true, that the Tariff is
not the mother of all Trusts, still it is
not within the limits of truth to say, that
self-evident, that many of them are made
richly profitable, at the expense of the
consumers of this country, by the excess
sive duty put upon the commodities they
produce.
What is it if not the High Tariff on
their products, that enables the manu-
facturers of steel, iron, and other pro-
ducts, to maintain their prices above the
international level, and to capitalize their
companies on the excessive and abnor-
nal profits of the present times?
But it is not to the high schedules of
the present Tariff alone, that many
Trusts owe their existence, and are en-
| abled to realize their stupendous profits,
| especially in the case of the Standard
Oil Company, and the Anthracite Coal
| Combination, their existence is made
abnormally profitable, by the disclimina-
ton made in their favor by Railway
| Companies. The former company was
| able to outstrip and ultimately to absorb
its competitors. large and small, by
| reason Of the more favorable freight
rates it was able to secure from the
railway carriers. In the case of the
Anthracite Coal Combination. it is es-
sentinlly and in all RESPECTS a "Combna-
ton" Of the coal carrying railroads, of
the anthracite coal producing regions of
Pennsylvania.
This Railroad "Combin&tion," dictates
the rates of freight. and prescribcs the
conditions on all coal MAILED over its
lines Any coal operator or mine owner,
not affiliated with the Coal Trust, must
either accept the rates Of freight it of
| fcrs, or not market his output 1t is
doubtless the fact. that these discrimin-
ating rates of the coal carrying railroads,
do. even more to strengthen and make
profitable injurious Trusts. ,hau protect

in the Trust question.
