What the Real Evils" Are.

w A~t bAiO AeOo4 Evils h1O'
President Roosevelt insists that "the real
evils connected with the trusts can not be
remedied by any change in the tariff laws"
His ideas of ''real evilsn takes in chiefly
and consequent ''rig-I
ging" of the stock market For this evil
he prescribes publicity" as to the affairs
of great competitions.
The public is not much concerned in
protecting foolish lambs from the shearers
and it knows that the greatest of all corpo-
rations-the steel already publishes
very full and detailed reports of its finances
and earnings, without in the least mitigat-
ing the evils which it inficts upon the
public.
The ''real evils of monopoly are these:
l. The killing Of competition, the only
safeguard for consumers and the great
incentive to individual enterprise.
2. The arbitrary fixing and maintenance
of unreasonably high prices. Nomonopoly
can be trusted to make fair prices The
comparatively low price Of Standard oil is
often cited to prove the contrary, but As
per cent dividends and fortunes piled up
beyond the dreams of ayarice' prove that
the price of oil might be much lower and
still yield fair profits.
3. The selling of protected products
more cheaply in foreign markets than at
home. If this were merely the surplus, as
is not always the case, why not give
American consumers the benefit of low
prices occasionally? Why reserve the Char
gain counter for Europe?
4. The corrupt control of politics and of
government for selfish ends. The great
combined corporations are also the great
campaign contributors. They wrote the
Mckinley and the Dingley tariff schedules
to suit themselves, for "value received y
They dictate nominations of governors,
judges, attorney generals and legislators.
This is the greatest evil of all.
Every one of these real evilsv is direct
ly connected with the tariff. Take away
the monopoly protecting duties and COM
petition will be restored; the power arbi-
trarily to fix unfair prices will be greatly
eurtailed and in many instances destroyed;
| foreign consumers will not be fav-
ored at the expense of our people in an
effort to. Sustain the Market" the enor-
nous stake Of monopoly in the elections,
leading to political corruption and the per
version Of the government from its true
ends would measurably disappear.
| If President Roosevelt does not know
what the ''real evils'' of the trusts are, and
what is the real cure for them, the people
are surely finding out the truth.

The PlatformIess Candidate.

We violate no confidence when we state
that Congressman Londenslagei will never
voluntarily resign as a candidate If the
fact could be brought home to him, as it
was to Speaker Henderson, that he no
longer represented the political thought of
the people who put him in nomination,
Mr.. Loudenslager would still hold on to
his place on the ticket. There is at present,
of course, no possibility of his declining.
The reason is plain: Mr. Loudenslager's
political followers have no political
thoughts. They have put him in the field to
to make the race, but they have adopted
no platform of principles on which he must
stand Mr.. Loudenslager can, therefore,
do just as he pleases, and his nominators
cannot complain. The failure of the Re-
publican Congressional Convention to-
adopt platform has never yet been ex-
planned, excepting by conservative OBJ
server of events. He declared that the
followed SO quickly after the
iou anu Htiutr II NAinueh biab tne dele
gates were ashamed Of what they had to do
and did it as quickly as possible and
departed for their homes Mr.. Louden-
Slayer will never decline because he is not
IN harmony wish the political thought Of
his constituent. He viii not have to. His
ollowers have made him a platformless
'andidate. The canine who trayerses the
country with tin can tied to his tail has
more of an issue about and around and
nder him than has Mr.. Loudenslager.

The Democrats of the First Congress
sional District of New Jersey have reason
to congratulate themselves upon the adj
mirable manner in which they acquitted
themselves at the Convention at Wood
bury The nomination of Judge Richard
Z. Miller for Congress is magnificent
assertion of the possibilities of the party
in South Jersey. 1t is even more than
that; it is political inspiration. When
Judge Miller's name was selected the
delegates builded much better than they
knew. No man in the district SO thoroughly
enjoys the confidence of all the people,
Democrats and Republicans alike. Indeed
we greatly doubt if citizen in the entire
State could have been named who surpasses
Judge Miller in character, attainments
knowledge of the fundamental principles
of statecraft or devotion to the doctrines of
Democracy.
In the campaign now fairly on the
Democratic party has everything to gain.
Its candidate enjoys the confidence of the
rank and file as we'll as of the leaders of
his party. There are no discussions in
consequence of the nomination. The party
is united into one solid phalanx and starts
at once with brilliant auguries of a success
full campaign.
The Republicans are in the doleful
dumps already. The chairman of the
County Executive Committee of the princi-
pal county in the district is at variance
with his confreres and only few days ago
applied to the courts for an extraordinary
writ to test the action of two leading
Republicans with respect to the adoption
of list of election officers. The chairman
of Camden county, the prepayment Of
the Republican nominee, looks askance at
his committee which was opposed to Mr..
Loudenslager's nomination, and whispers
are rife that he thinks the party leaders are
trying to knife him. The rankest sort OF
discord prevails with no likelihood of any
ameIioration in the situation.
Harmony among the Democrats
Discord among the Republicans
This is the situation, with the added
prestige of Judge Miller as Democracy's
candidate man whose fairness, impair
TALLY and invincible strength of charac-
ter while on the bench caused the Re-
publican lawyers of South Jersey to rise
up almost as one man and demand his
disappointment
The situation can hardly mean less than
victory [Camden Review.

We are unable in this issue to make
proper report of the magnificent gathering
of representative Democrats in Prehl's Hall,
yesterday, that named the county ticket at
the heal of this columns 1t was Con-
vention and mass meeting combined, the
like of which has never before been seen in
this county. Harmony and the true Demo-
cratic spirit attended the whole of the
interesting proceeding, and in the selection
of candidates, while strong rivalry exist
ed in the selection of one, yet the manifest
fairness of the contest cemented the con-
vention into harmonious whole, and each
nomination received the sanction of every
delegate.
OF the candidates we have not space 10
speak at this time, suffice to say, they are
representative men of their several locali-
ties, in every way worthy of public conf
deDce, and competent either as representa-
tives in the legislative halls of our State, or
our important county Offices, to render full
measure of service to proud and exacting
constituency.
