is belated. because recent develop
ments indicate that the combines
have secured "a grip on the United
States senate which threatens to null
lily all attempts at the enactment of
effective antitrust laws i'm the near
future. The people have been too pa
tent. They have deferred insisting
upon relief from the trust evil until
the national Legislative body through
which relief must come is dangerous
ly subject to the dictation of the
trusts. Mr.. Sage wants the people to
maintain this attitude of patient
waiting. He is wrong. The thing for
the people to do now is To demand
honest legislation against the trusts
and to voice that demand in so com
pelling a tone that congress will be
afraid to disobey, even though Rookie
Teller again telegraphs to United
States senator's ordering them to
lake action against the people.

related. Not Premature.

Russell Sage, in opposing antitrust
Legislation, says that the moment has
not arrived for intelligent remedial
action. He compares the situation
with that of a sick man whose case
cannot at once be diagnosed by the
doctors. They must await develop
ments before prescribing.
To the ordinary observer it would
seem that the trust evil has reached
a point where not only is diagnosis
easy but where the application of a
remedy is imperatively necessary if
the disease is to be fought at all
For what does Mr.. Sage wish us to
wait? For the utter collapse of the
patient. which. in this instance. is the
American public? Surely there is no
need of further proof of the malign
operation of the more evil combines.
The evidence i'm this direction is over
whelming and of nature to convince
anyone not bound to the trust idea
by ties of self-interest.
Trusts absolutely control many inn
portant manufactured products of
this country. They have monopoly
that is rendered impregnable by the
opera ton of the Dingley tariff. The
American consumer is SO utterly at
their mercy that they make him pay
more for their products than the
same products are sold for in foreign
markets. In the case of the beef
trust the American public was
brought face to face with situation
where exorbitant trust prices must
be paid or those refusing to pay
must go without meat. In the case
of the coal trust the public is requir-
ed To pay scarcity prices because the
barons esteemed themselves the rul-
ers of both property and labor by the
favor of Jehovah. In the absence of
genuinely remedial legislation the
people have no hope of relief The
trusts are their masters.
Mr.. Sage is mistaken in asserting
that the movement for antitrust leg
islation is premature. If anything. it

That New Position. i.

The. new job which President Roose-
welt has given his former efficient sec
rotary is not sinecure \ Washing
ton dispatch says of it:
The department of commerce will
have the unique distinction of deal
ing with the largest commercial
mestic exports, in manufactures. in
| transportation and in internal com
merce the United States are at the
head of the worlds list of great ma
tons. Some figures just compiled by
the treasury bureau of statistics.
which by the new law becomes Il part
of the department of commerce. esti-
mate the internal commerce of the
country at $4,000. 100000 or equal to
the entire international commerce of
the world.
In arriving at this estimate for the
internal commerce of the United
States the bureau of statistics in
cludes only one transaction in each
article produced. while in fact, a
very large number of articles pro
duced pass through the hands of sew
eral ''middlemen" between those of
the producer and those ST the con
sumner. The estimate is based upon
the figures of the census. which put
the total value of manufactures in
| 1900 at $4,000, 100000. those of agri
culture at nearly $4,000, 600 900 AND
those of minerals about 81 100000. 900
Estimating the internal commerce
of the country at former census years
| by the same method. the bureau OF
statistics finds that the total interna
commerce has grown from about So,
| O00. 900, 900 in 1850 to $500. 900, 600 in
1860 SO, 125 100000 in 1870, $7.75OOOO.
900 in 1880 and S12 ,00000O.000 in 1890
| 1t will be seen from this that the in
ternal commerce seems to have beer
increased so per cent in the decad,
from 1890 to 1900 and is ten times a:
large in 1902 as in the year 1850.
During the same period. from 1850 Il
1902, the population has increased
from 23,OOO,OOO to 79.OOO,OO0, and i.
therefore only three and one-halt
times as great as in 1850, while the
internal commerce is ten times Il.
great as at that time. This relativ,
gain of internal commerce over popu
lation is due in part TO the greatly in
creased facilities for transportation
the cheapening of cost of articles util
lied and the increased earnings anC
increased wealth of the people. Th'
railroads have increased from 9.02
miles in 1850 to POI 500 miles in 1902
and the estimated wealth of the coun
try from 81. 1875. 7sO, 900 i'm 1850 to $94.
800. 100000 in 1000 per capita in

of that article to 500 per ton. The

This scheme has been worked for

CATARRH CURED BY DRY AIR
Hyomei Medicates the Air You Breathe,
Kills the Germs and Cures the Disease.

Hyomei cures catarrh thoroughly
and permanently, because it reaches
the smallest air cells in the head,
throat and lungs, kills the germs
causing the disease and drives it from
the system. Hyomei goes to the root
of the disease, destroys the cause,
and makes permanent cures which
can be effected in no other way.
Breathe it for a few minutes four
times "A day and benefit will be seen
at once. Continue this treatment for
few weeks and Hyomei will have
cured you.
The Hyomei in the inhaler furnish
ed with the outfit dries and sterilizes
he air you breathe. 1t is local and
direct treatment for eradicating all
catarrh germs in the mucous mem
brane and tissues and in this way
cures catarrh in any part of the sys-
tenn. Used in connection with Hyomei
Balm it has been successful in curing
the worst and most deep seated cases
of catarrhal deafness.

writes: 81 have spent a fortune on
different treatments for catarrh and
