Echoing Hanna's Allegation.

1t Is instructive as to the opera
tlons of the human mind TO observe
that in the House debate on the anti
trust bill Jenkins of Wisconsin re-
turned to the cry--which evokes the
recollection of 190O-"There are no
trusts" In this plea Mr.. Jenkins in
fringeS on the copyright of NJ. A..
Hanna The latter statesman worked
this assertion to the limit in that
year. Yet, since then President and
legislators have found out that there
are trusts enough to neceSsitate doing
something, even IL 1t be no more than

$5,000,000. 1t is intended to expend
all this money during the present year.
In many cases the Improvements plan

Extravaranee of Congress.

The people of the United States have
become so used to ho-ring abous mill
lions that but few really appreciate
what a large sum a million dollars is,
and yet TO even count it, at the rate
of one for each second of time. would
require over 27T hours, or nearly %
days of u hours each of continuous
mental work. The Congress of the
United States, which has just adj
iourned, voted 81 ,554. 10S,514 during its
two years work This sum would re-
quire 1912 days to count, or 9S years
of y hours a day, with no time for
eating or even speaking. 1t is esti-
mated that ope-third of this enormous
sum, which is beyond the computing
of any man during his life, is either
wasted or used for purposes for which
the taxpayers do not receive any ben
eft.
1t is only four years ago, during war
time. that a billion dollar Congress
was denounced, by even Republican
newspapers, as prohigate of the peo-
PIES money, and we were told that
new taxes would have to be imposed
If the extravaganza was continued. Foe
the year ending June 30th. 1897, the
appropriations for all purposes We're

year appropriations were made by a
Democratic Congress. Now more than
double that large amount is to lie
oil let, ts,.,
has increased the expense of runnir z
the government more than four hun
dred millions of dollars in seven years.
IL this extravaganza continues it will
require in the year 1910 that the Six
ty-first Congress must appropriate over
three billions of dollars to keep up The
mace that tine Fifty-seventh Congress
has set. Can the people stand this ire
mendous drain on their earnings? Is
il not necessary to take stock and fig
are ont Just where the leaks are, and
retrencn accordingly? The business
man, the farmer and the mechanic
who have launched on a sea of eXtrav-
agance are obliged sooner or later to
steer their bark closer TO the wind and
seek a safe harbor from the financial
storm that surely follows fair weather.
Every man. woman and child is now
taxed over ten dollars every year to
support this eNtrayagant Republican
government. That means that each
head OF family pays ever fifty dol
lars. which is mort than doubled in
an Indirect way by the enormous
profits which the trusts and combines
extort through the working of the pro-
tective tariff. If the cities and towns
of the United States were run on the
same extravagant plan that the Fed
eraI government is. there would be =

Situation IA Lower Mississippi Dis
fricts Growing More Alarminr

S1tuat1on h Lower mississippi Dis
tricts Growing More Alarming.
The fact that several thousand con
victs in Mississippi have Seen pr&eti-
cally liberated that their labor may be
employed in guarding and strengthening
the leyees along the Mississippi river IL
Illustrates pretty clearly the alarming con
ditions prevailing at present in the lower
river country.
1t may be surmised from the charac-
ter of the precautions taken to avert
disaster in times of previous floods, as
wesl as from the tone of the dispatches
coming from all points now, that the
Tennessee, Arkansas, Mississippi AID
Louisiana lowland planters are doing lit
tie else these days and nights than striv-
ing with might and main to keep the
river within bounds
They know that the floods which have
created alarm and even paaic along the
Ohio and Missouri, the upper Missis-
sippi and tributaries will within few
days increase the volume of the already
swollen lower Mississippi to the danger
point, and that the safety of their crops,
their homes, and even their lands, is de-
pendent upon the stability of the ell-
Waters within its channel
1t appears that armed sentinels are
patrolling these embellishments at various
points between Memphis and New Or
leans; that the planters are no less vigil
liant in the matter of guarding themselves
against the treachery of the river than
they are in protecting themselves against
the treachery of man.
Tampering with the leyees is one Of
the most serious and most Infamous Of
lenses that can be committed on The
lower Mississippi, and the person who
cuts one of these embellishments takes his
life in his hands For there are men
who, to relieve the pressure of the wat
er upon the levees protecting their own
plantations, will deliberately start a ere
vase above or below them, thus selfshly
and criminally imperiling the lives ard
property of their neighbors.
The fear which prevails that such acts
of treachery may be committed at pres
ent, and the popular sentiment toward
those who may be guilty of such perddy,
may be imagined when it is known that
hundreds of the liberated Mississippi
convicts are provided with guns and in
trusted with the task of shooting down
any man, black or white, who is detect
ed in an attempt to cut an embankment.
That the Yazoo Mississippi levee board
has taken the extreme measure of enlist
ing the service of ronvicts and intrustipg
them with arlss is sufficient to justify the
belief that the worst food the lower Mis-
sissippi country has known for many
years is expected.

A verdict was given against Mrs. Me-
lissa Russell in Judge Williams court in
Milwaukee. after trial replete with
sensational incidents. Mrs Russell was
housekeeper for Cassius Ward, we'll
known Waukesha citizen. When he
died his property was found to be in
the possession of the housekeeper. Be
sides diamonds and watch there was 4
deposit in the Waukesha bank of 5000.
which had been indorsed to her. John
f. Tyrrell, the handwriting expert testi-
fled that the Endorsement making the
deposit payable to Mrs. Russell was a
forgery. while she brought witnesses to
prove that they saw Mr.. Ward write it
when he was on his deathbed. The jury
found that Mrs. Russell had $3.50
which should be in the possession of the
administrator.

No Tariff Reform.


When it is considered that the rates
of the present tariff law were made
higher than was necessary, the fact
that the Republicans are unwilling to
revise this extraordinary protection TO
the trusts aud combines shows that
the corporations control legislation
The Dingley law has been in opera
ton since 1897, and in consequence
OF the extreme protection it affords
It's benefciaries, they have increased
and multiplied to an enormous ex-
tent.
Mr.. Littlefeld, of Maine, IS authority
for list of trusts which was lately
published in the Congressional Rec
ord, which gives nearly 300 trusts and
combines, with o total capitalization Of
$4,000. 100000 This good Republican
authority is a complete answer to the
charge that the Democrats had padded
the list published in the Democratic
campaign book for political effect. IS
the last-named list contained but PSI
corporations, with a total capitaliza-
ton of S6.972, Az, 351. This list was
compiled in the summer of 1902, and if
the list given by Mr. Littlefield is a
correct one, there has been an increase
since then of more than double the
number of corporations and capitaliza-
ton. With such facts staring the Re
publicans of Congress in the face, it
would be naturally expected that some
tof L 81
lodge the most obnoxious trusts that
are protected by the tariff padded in
their interests. Two or three Republi-
can members of Congress did attempt
TO lower the Dingley rates and intro
duced bills for that end. but the Ways
and Means Committee. which is con-
trolled By the protection interests.
would not report such bills to the
House, so that discussion and a vote
might be had thereon.
A great majority of the voters are
favorable to reform. but under the rule
of King Caucus are unable to obtain it.
How long will those Republicans, who
plainly see that trusts are robbing
them, submit to this corporation dom
ination? A few independent voters
added to the Democrats in the close
Congressional districts and States
could defeat the ring that now controls
Congress. VIII they do it?
For the past six years many Re
publican candidates for Congress have
promised to vote for reform. but when
elected have quietly succumbed to the
trust and combine influences when
they reached Washington. VIII the in
dependent Republican voters be will
ing to accept the same promise in
1904? These voters must remember
that the Republican party is pledged
TO protection, and the Democrats, by
inheritance and tradition and by party
platforms. have always been commit
ted to a tariff for revenue, and are
therefore the party through whom
reform must come.
