Does Protection protecty

When the industrial trust boom was
in full blast and corporations were be-
ing manufactured with millions Of
capital every day in the week the pro-
tectionists cited the fact as the result
OF the great system Of protection to
American industries. Now the stocks
Of these trusts are in a state Of collapse
and the water has been squeezed out
Of them with remorseless energy what
will the protectionists say? The pros
tration Of the boom in Wall street can
not be blamed on the Democrats:
neither Mr.. Bryan nor Mr.. Cleveland
can be held responsible. 1.-THE blight
ing influence Of free trade" has had no
part or lot in the matter, and yet the
marvellous prosperity" Of these trust
corporations, railroad and industrial,
have received a check which is but the
index finger pointing to the prostration
Of general business that will follow In
its wake. The abnormally high prices
that now prevail Of all the necessities
Of life must result in reduced con-
sumption, and even a protected trust
cannot pay big dividends unless the
public will nay high prices for its pro

defies the antitrust law. The attempt
Of the administration to control the
beef barons by asking the court to re-
strain them by injunction has been
miserable failure. There is no doubt
that II the criminal section of the anti.
trust law was invoked and the principal
beef barons were convicted and i'm.
prisoned, the fear Of like punishment
would effectually break up the CON-
bine and competition and more reason
able prices would prevail.
The present supineness Of the admin
istration in dealing with the trusts,
and the beef combine in particular, is
inexplicable except upon the theory
that there is bond or affinity between
the Republican leaders and the trusts
that they dare not sever.
The beef barons rob all classes. BY
combining and refusing to bid against
each other at the principal western
stock markets they virtually dictate the
price that the farmers obtain for their
stock. BY combining they refuse to
compete in selling the dressed beef and
ers all pay toll to the beef combine. In
this way about six companies, each con-
trolled by one or two men, have the
entire cattle trade and its products of
the continent in their grasp, and, al
though there is a law to punish the un-
lawful combinations, President Roose-
welt and his legal advisers refuse to
execute it.

DIVIDED COUNSELS.
Republican Leaders Unable to Agree
on Financial LegislatiOn.

Republican Leaders Unable to Agree
ON Financial Legislation.
The Republicans are having troubles
Of their own these days and on ques-
tons that they should be most united
about, and the numerous pilgrimages
to Oyster Bay Of the leaders of the diff
ferent factions do not seem to clear
the way for united action. First we
are told that Senator Aldrich and his
committee have agreed upon a finan-
cial bill which Is generally acceptable
to Wall street and is approved by
President Roosevelt. Then we hear
that Uncle Joe Cannon is mu!ish and
does not fall in with the programme.
He is "agin rubber currency" and does
not think any financial legislation
necessary. I'VE have the best currency
on EARTH" and so on. Strange to re-
late, Rockefeller and Morgan agree
with each other that the Aldrich bill
of course, Wall street. They are very
insistent that the loans to the banks
by the United States treasury, with
out interest should be made legal and,
If possible, permanent. They also de-
mand that the receipts from customs
duties should be deposited in the
banks, as the internal revenue taxes
now are. This latter part of the pro-
gramme is said to be especially objec
tionable to the prospective speaker,
and Congressman Fowler in an inter
view says that Uncle Joe prefers the
Fowler currency bill to the Aldrich
bill. With Wall street and congress d.
vided on the scope and plan Of flnan-
cial legislation and the Republican
leaders divided, there is a chance that
the Democratic minority may have to
decide the question of legislation or no
legislation.
In all the controversy about the pro-
posed financial legislation it will be no.
ticed that no Republican comes for
ward with any proposition that would
be Of comfort or assistance to the ordi-
nary voter. The people appear to have
no place at the Republican feast. The
Wall street financial magnates are in
vited to Oyster Bay, the trust and cor
poration officers and attorneys are
called into conference, but not one
known friend Of the common people is
invited or, indeed, allowed to voice
their sentiments. Wall street, the
trusts and the railroads are omnipotent
in the councils of the Republican
party.

Roosevelt q Wall Street Favorite.
This is the age of the men who do
things. They are our leaders and
heroes. We adore achievement. We
worship success. The strenuous life
has become our ideal, and the president
Of the United States. whom we all ad-
nire, is the exemplar Of that life."
The above quotation from the Wall
Street Journal, Aug. 4, 1908, indicates
the real Wall street opinion Of the
man who is being paraded in Repub-
hcan papers as trust buster and an
unrelenting enemy Of Wall street, with
~ watered trust and monopoly stocks.
The trust promoters understand per.
haps better than the public the mean.
ing Of the presidents trust fighting Mt.
titude. They know that he has really
done nothing to greatly injure the
trusts and has at the critical moment
always favored trusts and great cor
porattons.

States Steel corporation pays wages to

Dingley schedules remain the steel
trust will not pay the men. Any.
how, the country must be dubbed by
the Republican party into dread and
silence until the steel trust says the
word. The steel trust, moreover, Will

Matching DucklinRs.

When the eggs begin to hatch let them strictly alone. Do not try to turn the pipped sides up, and above all do not open the machine every few hours to see how they are getting along, or show inquisitive friends how cunning the little dears look coming out of the shells. After the hatch is fairly over and the ducklings nearly or quite dried off open the machine and quickly take out tray and cover with a thin woolen cloth. Look the eggs over carefully and If any are discovered cast in the shell or with head slightly caught break away enough of the shell to allow the little bird some freedom of movement and return the tray. Frequently these birds will break through and prove as lively as those earlier hatched.--Farm, Garden and Poultry.

 There was a scene, not. for the sake of discipline. to be reported, when Mrs J first for disGraceful unpunctuality, and secondly for nearly killing himself witf a forbidden weapon.

 Mrs. Jennett gasped and became livid. Maisie said nothing, but en- couraged Dick with her eyes, and he behaved abominably all that evening. Mrs. Jennett prophesied an immediate judgment of Providence and a descent into Tophet later. But Dick walked 'y paradise and would not hear. Only when he was going to bed Mrs. Jen, nett recovered and asserted herself. He had bidden Maisie good night with down dropped eyes and from a dis tance.

It could only be used on the muddiest foreshore of the beach, far away from bathing machines and pier heads. below the grassy slopes of Fort Keeling The tide ran out nearly two miles on that coast, and the many col ored mud banks, touched by the sun, sent up a lamentable smell of dead weed It was late in the afternoon when Dick and Maisie arrived on their ground, Amomma trotting patiently behind.
 "Mf," said Maisie, sniffing the air. "I wonder what makes the sea so smelly. I don't like it.
 You never like anything that isn't made just for you" said Dick bluntly. Give me the cartridges, and I'll try first shot. How far does one of these little revolvers carry?"
 "Oh, half a mile," said Maisie promptly. At least it makes an awful noise. Be careful with the cartridges.
