New York. June 24.-Ira D. Sankey,

ma has changed his mind about trusts,
for it is not long ago that he was vocif-
erously declaring from every stump
he mounted that there were no trusts
and now he admits that there are
combinations for the monopoly of
trade" This being all things to all
men and each leader putting his own
construction on the important issues

TO FOOL THE PEOPLE.
Republican Leaders Take Di6erent
Views OF COntrOllin9
. the Trusts.

The republican leaders should get
together and agree on information
they impart to the voters. President
Roosevelt, in what was doubtless
carefully considered speech on the
tariff and trust issue, told US that the
Sherman law was inadequate and .
constitutional amendment was essen
tial to control the trusts. The Ohio
republican platform says: "Combina-
tions for the monopoly Of trade and
kindred unlawful purposes are direct
ly amenable to penalties provided by
republican legislation" meaning, or
course, that the Sherman law is ample
to control the trusts. Which of these
the president or Senator Hanna
Neither do the same authorities agree
on the tariff as affecting the trusts, for
the president said that the tariff had
no connection with the trusts, while
the Ohio platform after declaring al
above quoted on the control of monop-
o1ies, further says: mo worthy in"
terest is imperiled, but whatever will
work public harm is restrained and
| that without resort to the democratic
plan of destroying all American indus
tries through tariff revision, or other
! WISE"
'Or otherwise" is good. It allows the
republican brethren a hole to crawl
into when the democratic plan of tar
if revision has relieved the people
from trust extortion, which is now per
mitted by the protection the tariff
gives them.

The Philadelphia textile operatives
are probably not conversant enough
with the general financial and indus
trial situation of the country to ap-
Ireciate the manufacturers point OF
view. The manufact urers cannot be
governed entirely by the factors OF the
immediate present. If the signs of the
times point to a probable lessening of
tkeir profits in the not very remote fu-
ture, through falling prices for their
products and lessened demand, they
could hardly be expected to advance
wages at this time, even if their mon
etary profits were as large as the
operatives seem to believe"
We have had six years of fine crops
which have sold at high prices; our
tariff has not been touched and prob
ably will not be touched for years to
come; the crop prospects this year are
good and the outlook for high prices
is excellent. Why then are there clouds
in the industrial sky? If our prosper
ity were real prosperity for all and
not simply prosperity for the trusts
and monopolies and high cost Of living
to the masses, it would not go all to
pieces, as it now appears to be doing,
at the slightest suspicion of anything
but excellent crops. We should be able
to weather one year Of poor crops after
five or six excellent ones. We are not,
because the protected trusts have
sapped the earnings of the masses and
exhausted their buying power.
Thus it is evident that there are
more reasons than one why we should
take Hanna's advice: "Let we'll enough
alone and keep on letting it alone;
hands Off" Our thin-shelled, unsub-
stantial and unsound prosperity will
not stand handling, not even with
care" "Workingmen, beware; touch
f. at your peril" is the advice both OF
the republican politicians and protect
ed manufactur ers. ''Stand pat" don't
bulge or look sidewise Or the whole
protection prosperity structure will
collapse.
| Former Postmaster General
Smith believes there is no great de.
mand for tariff revision amongst the
republicans, but adds: II believe, how
ever, that the platform OF the party
will declare for revision, but in such q
wav that business interests will not
i suffer-" II there is no great demane
Ifor tariff revision why should the re
publfcans attempt to fool the people
by declaring for it in their nationa
platform? To declare against the
trusts and for revision of the tarih
and not intend to carry out eithe1
declaration, Is rather stif dose O
medicine to get even the republican
voters to swallow.
