Normandy conquered England 10 1865
be came from a country where feu-
dalism had grown from the bottom
up, and he conquered a country where
the same system had grown in the
same way. He re-parceled the coun-
try according to the Journals ideal
plan and instantly and arbitrarily
created on the ruins Of the old system
the only example Of an outward-rad-
iating feudalism.
From a fundamental theory so
entirely erroneous every ramifcation
of argument based upon analogy or
anti hesis proves treacherous. The
difference In condition between the
small allodial land owners and the
great barons on the one hand and the
small manufacturer and the great
trust on the other fails to appear.
While medieval feudalism embraced
both person and property u so called
industrial feudalism extends to prop.
erty only. And If any one doubts
that the great trust barons force
petty rivals to submit to their
suzerainty he has only to read the
story Of the Standard Oil company or
the Diamond Match company.

THE STEEL TRUSTS REPORT.

The first annual report of the
United States steel corporation
shows total net earnings Of 1913, 3O9,-
764 or % per cent upon its capitali-
cation. 1t is admitted that the steel
trust is capitalized at six times the
value of the plants Nhich we're united
TO form it. Upon the basis Of its
true capitalization, then, the earnings
OF The trust for the year ending
December 81 were 81 per cent. The
Dingley tariff rates make this robbery
possible. But for the unnecessary
tariff on the products Of the steel
trust we could import the same wares
from foreign countries at an average
reduction 10 price of A per cent.
But it would not be necessary to i'm
port from foreign countries TIE
steel trust could sell its wares at a
reduction Of "A per cent and still
make a profits, far above the average
Of the Uations total industries
On the same day on which this
report was made public our spec
tacnlar president in his Minneapolis
speech said; "The question of tariff
revision stands wholly apart from the
question Of dealing with the trusts.
Certain great trusts (le refers 10 The
Standard Oil company and the
Anthracite Coal trust, which art
natural m%onopolies, owning practi-
c lily the whole proluct and The
means OF ITS distribution) are wholly
uuatf, ct,d by the tariff. Practically
all Of the others have numbers 4

THE ELECTION IN ST. LOUIS.

1t ought to be gratifying TO every
good citizen of the land, irrespective
of party, that the people OF St. Louis
voted to stand by reform and decent
municipal administration by an over
whclming majority. 1t is very diff.
cult in a municipal election to have
the issue made clear and plain between
decency and corruption. 1t can hardly
be said to have been so in the St..
Louis election. But it was sufficiently
so to afford the encouraging hope Of
the redemption Of our cities from
misrule. There seems always to be a
majority 10 favor OF right il that
majority can be aroused and made to do
its duty, But unfortunately the clean
candidate who has no promises TO
make and no hencbmen to reward can
never poll his real strength except in
times Of unusual excitement, when
the public conscience is aroused. St.
Louis has gone far toward proving a
greater seriousness and a stronger
and less Spasmodic moral purpose
than new York has ever shown in her
occasional e~cstacies Of virtue. But
in some wards the old aldermen under
indictment for boodling were re-
elected, which shows that st Louis
regeneration is not eomnlete.

The president says that he believes
In the Monroe doctrine with all his
heart. But then the president also
believes in the protective tariff with
all his heart, which very much weak

everything else.

THE PRESIDENTS SPEECHES.

THE PRESIDENTS SPEECHES.
The president has nov delivered
four or five Of the promised speeches
which his advance agents have been
telling us so much about. They are
all full of a boyish vigor, a kind Of
bumptlousness, which is very pleas
ing. But they will not do to read
carefully. They are full of crude
ideas and absurditIes of logic. 1t
would be interesting to 60 over any
one OF these speeches critically with a
view to studying. the presidents
mental processes. For instance in the
first paragraph Of his first speech he
says of the isthmian canal: "Its con-
s~tructlon will stand as the greatest
material feat OF the twentieth
century-greater than any similar
feat in any preceding century" This
is an example of the presidents reck-
lessness of assertion.
In order to get at some idea of the
size of this prospective achievement
let US turn the matter into figures,
say the figures which stand for the
cost Of its accomplishment, and COM
pare them with other familiar figures.
!. Estimated cost Of
Panama canal, includ-
ing right of way, ma
terials on the ground
and work already
done. ..............s 200, OOO, 900
2. Actual cost OF prop
critics comprised in

steel corporation 24O, 900, 600

prohibitive tariff law,
it is enabled to pay
annual dividends Of
81 per cent. ....... 1,4OO, 900, COO
Fictitious value created
for the above corpor-
tion by virtue Of said
tariff law. ...... 1,16O, 600, 900

1t will be e by examining the
above figures that the dividends of the
steel trust for eighteen months would
pay for the construction Of the
Panama canal, right of way and all.
The dividends Of the Standard Oil
Company would pay for it 10 thirteen
months. The United States gov
eminent expects to spend less than
twice as much on tue original
construction of the Panama canal as
the state Of New York will spend Oh

They Are Passing.

Take walk through any of the cemeteries throughout the country, and you will believe with us that fools are slowly but surely passing away, says an ex- change. gtH
 With silent tread you pass the last resting place of the individual who blew into an empty gun.
 The modest tombstone of the hired girl who lighted the fire with kerosene and the grass covered mound that covers the mortal re- mains of a boy who took a mule by the tail are near by.
 The tall monument of the man who didn't know it was loaded overshadows the dugout of the man who jumped off the cars to save ten rod walk.
 Side by side lie the remains of the ethereal creature who always kept her corset laced up to the last hole and the intellectual idiot that rode a bicycle nine miles in ten minutes.
 Here reposes the young doctor who took dose of his own medi- cine and the old fool who married d young wife.
 Right over wonder in the north- west corner, where the gentle breezes sigh through the weeping willows, lies the fellow who told his mother-in Jaw she lied.
 Down there in the potter's field, with his feet sticking out to the rude blast of winter and the blistering ray of summers sun, are stretched all the earthly re- mains of the misguided regulator who tried to lick the editor, while the broken bones of the man who wouldn't pay for his paper are piled up in the fence corner.
 Nearby his grave unmarked, re- poses the mouldering dust of the editor who starved to death try ing to run first class paper in a second class town.
 Over by the entrance repose the boy who went swimming too early in the season and the lady who kept strychnine and baking powder side by side in the cup board.
 Right there in the path directly in front of the entrance, obstruct- ing the way, is the grave of the microbe killer who rinsed himself inside and out with antiseptic solutions until his agonies were cut short by acute softening of the brain.
