what Democracy stands For.

What Democracy Stands For.
There are those who say there
is little difference between the two
great political parties of this
couptry-Democracy and Repub-
licanism. Is that trueP If SO one
might as well disband at once, sub.
ject to the presentment of new is.
sues. But it is not SO. There
never was time since the Repub.
lie of the United States was organ.
lied when the line separating these
two parties was better defined than
now. Look at it for a moment
Every one comedies that the
great evil which casts its shadow
over this country today is the trust
evil. Other countries have had
their combinations of wealth, but
nowhere else under the sun has
been seen such bringing togeth.
or of vast aggregations of capital
as has been witnessed in the
country in the last six years.
Now let no man be mistaken in
this matter. There Isl broad dis
tinction to be made between legi-
innate enterprises which need
great sums of money for the eff
fectual carrying out of great bus
mess plans and the bringing to-
gether of vast sums to crush out
and kill all legitimate competition.
This latter, we say is now being
done in this country in a manner
to beat all records. No one who
keeps his eyes open needs to have
examples cited. Compare present
prices of any and every commod-
ity used by the American consum-
or with what they were formerly
and you will see what the steel
trust, the lumber trust, beef trust,
oil trust and innumerable others
are doing.
What is the reason that all these
trusts flourish SO in this country I?
The reason is plain. The -outra-
geous protective tariff. which still
gets in its work after all legiti-
mate need for it ceases. After we
are able to compete with the world
the tariff is still maintained sim
ply to bleed the American con.
sumner. The story is an old one
and needs not be rehearsed.
Now, leading Republicans have
come out and said fatty, no tariff
reduction and the rank and file
meekly follows. Out in Iowa a
few venturesome Republicans re-
Gently asserted that there should
be certain tariff changes to relieve
the useless burdens of the Ameri.
can consumer for the benefit of the
men who are growing rich SO fast
that they are actually-gettipg
frightened over it. But these Re-
publicans have been whipped in
to line by their monopolistic lead
ers and the Republican doctrine i.
now no tariff changes-"s tand
pat"
Democratic doctrine stands op
emily opposed to this, as will be
seen by State and National plat
forms and by recent utterances by
great Democratic leaders. There is
no issue more important than this
and it touches every mans pock
ct. There is no issue SO broad and
well defined as this, for, SO plain
is it that he who runs may read.

ROOSEVELT IN THE WRONG

Washington. Jan. 5.-(Speciai) )-The feeling of Democrats in Congress seems to be growing to rather hot proportions over the postoffice trouble at Indianoia, Miss, and the mystery of Mrs. Minnie Cox. the negro postmaster there, is likely to take it's place amongst many other thrilling and mysterious occurrences of our politicaf life.
 While the Democratic resentment is In the main growing in vigcf and warmth, the cooler heads seem to prefer awaiting developments before undertaking decisive action. These latter maintain that the President has taken nasty and therefore ill-advised action in jumping 10 the con- clusien that few persons were in sense lawlees for the reason that they obstructed the negro postmaster in the ordinary discharge Of her official du- ties.
 As q matter Of fact the President has no more right to close the postonice at Indianola, Miss, for the reasons alleged. and the ordering of that towns mail sent to another postoffice than he could in similar circumstances have the Mont gomery mall sent to Troy for delivery to the persons to whom 1t might be ad- dressed.
 The President is clearly running counter to the law, and the subject, which is hot enough now, threatens to be hotter when Congress takes 1t up, unless the President comes down from his high assumption.

COAL IN THE SENATE
SEVERAL BILLS AND REsoLU-
 TIoNs ON THE SUBJECT.
MT. Platt of Connecticut Says He Understands That There is No Duty on Anthracite--state-
 hood Bill.

Washington, Jan. g. when the Senate reconvened today after the holiday recess few Senators were absent.
 < Almost immediately | discassiou began regarding the coal situation. Mir. Lodge prefaced his introduction of . bill sus- pending for ninety days the duty of coal with the statement that in New England there was much distress owing to the scarcity of coal. and that unless relief was afforded at once number of facto- ries would have to shut down. He was aware. he said, that such a bill should originate in the House of Representatives, but 1t was his desire to call the attention of the Finance Committee to the state of affairs. MT. Culberson followed with a resolution providing for the removal of the duty on anthracite coal and asked it's immediate consideration.
 Mir. Platt (Conn.) objected, saying it was his understanding that there was no duty of anthracite. coal. MT. Vest took exception to this statement and said that the Board of General Appraisers and President Roosevelt had decided that such a duty is imposed. MT. Vest also intro uuceo Eesolu1ioh Oh the supJSce
 Another resolution bearing on the sub- ject introduced by MT. Johnes 6Ark.) re- cited the charge of w. R. Hearst. that there was an illegal combination among certain railroads to control the shipment of anthracite coal and called on the At- torney-General for evidence which was alleged had been secured by him. It caused a lively debate. in which several Republican Senators vigorously resented what they thought was a reflection on the Attorney General. The discussion continued until o'clock, when the reso- lution went over being displaced by the omnibus Statehood bill.
 MT. Nelson CMinn.) addressed the Sem ate in opposition to the bill and favored single Statehood for Oklahoma and In- dian Territory.
 At o'clock the Senate adjourned.

TAFT WILL BE NAMED

 COURT BENCH.
General Wright Will Be Made Gov ernor of the Philippines and Mir. Rockhill Will Be
 Made Vice.

Washington, Jan. 6.-If existing plans carry, some time next month the Presi- dent will send to the Senate the nomina- ton of Governor Taft to be an Asso- ciated Justice of the United States Su- preme Court to succeed Justice Shiras, who is expected to retire during that month. Governor Taft will be succeeded as Civil Governor of the Philippines by Governor Wright at present Vice-Govern- or and the latter place will be filled by the appointment of W. W. Rockhill the present director of the bureau of Amer ican Republics.
 There are already many aspirants for the place which will be vacated by Mir. Rockhill but so far the President has made no choice. It appears that Gov ernor Taft was offered place on the Supreme bench on the death of Justice Cray. but he felt that affairs in the Phil ipnines were in such a state as to re- n,iire bis own personal attendance and he sacrificed the opportunity. The Pres ident has not forgotten his unselfishness ana now feels that the work in the ar chinelago will be in shape by E'ebruary, so if may we'll be taken over by General Wright.
 while MT. Rockhlll will receive a much hirher compensation as Vice-Governor ok inc Philippines that he does as Director o1 Fureau of American Republics, still his acoeptance of the first named place involves the relinquishment Of many am- hitious plans he had cherished looking to the extension of the present bureau into an institution far beyond It's present im- nnrtanea and seoDa-

 New York, Jan. s.--According to The Heraid's correspondent in willemstad the revolutionists are advancing in three col umns on General Castro's army.
 A desperate fight occurred Saturday night within eight miles of the city of Caracas. resulting favorably to the rev- olutionists. They are cutting all the tel egraph lines. tesving up. the railroad tracks. and are hourly expected in the im- mediate neighborhood of the city, A con dition of extreme panic prevails among those who have heretofore believed that Castro was invincible.
 A committee of the most prominent citi- sens have gone to President Castro and made representations how hopeiessly un- tenable Is his position. But nc insists on holding on until his forces are defeated in decisive battle. It seems that this cannot be far distant.
 President Castro is already planning what he shall do when the inevitable comes, but he will make desperate fight before quitting, as he has no chance to escape. The only alternative is imprison- ment.
 The correspondent adds that no attempt is now being made by the allies to con- ceel the fact that they are affording as- sistance to the revolutionists.
