THE ALDR1cH MAXIMUM TARIFF.

When it is known that Senators Aldrich and Hanna
the Republican leaders upon whom the rely in
congress- and when is known again that American trust
goods being made the target of hostile 1egisla
ton every country of Europe the purpose of the Aid
rich maximum and minimum tariff is simple and plain.
1t is project to retaliate against European legisla
ton hostile to American trust products.
The nature of the Aldrch-Hanna maximum and min
mum duties is also simple and clear In the of
the the proposed duties will be all maximum and
minimum. The Dingley tariff will be the minimum with
possibly ring exception two for the sake of looks,
and the maximum duties will be added to the Dingey
basis to punish those nations that dare egslae against
American trust products
SO far as the Aldrich proposition being tariff re-
vision substitute for reciprocity, that is pure
bosh What revision there is will be mainly upward and
not downward In place of reciprocity the main prin-
cipe is retaliation. The tariff is simply given
instruments of torture, powerful armament, and
put basis of more widespread aggression with
offensive tactics

INCREASE IN CITY BUSINESS.

Chamber of Commerce statistics of receipts and ship
ments for 1902 exhibit marked increase in St. Paus
volume Of business Receipts of merchandise at ST. Paul
for the year were 1854 cars, against I66o45
year an increase of 3466 per cent Shipments in
creased 1908 per cent and combined receipts and
shipments showed growth of 484S4 carloads or II per

In other words the wholesale operations of this CITY

ratio of doubling in six years When it is realized
that the population of the United States increased only

decade and that the population increase of Minnesota
which stood among the first in percentage growth
only 81 per cent it becomes apparent that increase in
business volume OF II per cent year. per
in six years is light rate of growth
In fact, the city's percentage of growth in volume
of merchandise handled is something like seven times the
countrys rate of population growth and five times the
states rate of population increase In view of the fact
that the foreign trade of the United States during past
fiscal year showed falling off as compared with the
year preceding, ST. Paul's marked increase in both re-

same population could not in 1902 consume one-ffth

and therefore healthy population growth is the only
explanation.

Prince Gustaf believes, like Emperor

solving difficulties.
Several years ago he availed himself
of the opportunity of some public

has been raging for years between
Norway and Sweden was by force and

Prince Gustaf is the first Of his line
to enjoy the support and the consider
alton of the Swedish aristocracy. The
latter is among the proudest, most in

has made point of holding aloof from
King Oscar and his three predecessors
on account Of the peasant blood in their
veins and of their plebeian origin. They
cannot forget that Marshal Bernadotte
owed his rise In life to the revolution,

royal family and that at his death the

BEET SUGAR BOUNTY CLAIM.

A bill has been introduced for the payment by the
state of claim of $4,000 alleged be due the Minnesota
Beet Sugar company under the provisions of act OF
the legislature Of 1893 This provided for the pay
men of bounty beet sugar manufactured from Min
nesota beets during the 1899 and and
limiting the amount to be paid any company to
$4,000; also expressly providing that bounty should
be paid after the year 1900
Under the provisions of this bill the bounty paid
for $780, but held up for the second year upon the
ruling of the state auditor acting the opinion Of the
attorney general that the law providing for its payment
unconstitutional.
The matter resolves itself into the question: Is the
state in honor bound pay the claim for the second
year? That should the state keep what apparently
plain promise pay the bounty, although such pay
nent is declared to be unconstitutional?
AS matter of course the word of the state ought to
be good its bond, in the of individual
And if the state through its proper officers, makes
promise to legitimate debt the debt should be paid
In the matter of this particular claim, however, it
should be shown armatvey and conclusively that the
claim not piece of speculation that it is not for the
benefit of lobby; that it has not been sold by the
company to who will get the lions share of the
money if paid; that corrupt methods to be en-

PRINCE GUSTAV
AGAIN AS REGENT
Unlike King Oscar, He Is Believer in
the mailed Fist" Policy.

STOCKHOLM, Jan. 28.-The an
nounced intention of King Oscar to an
point the crown prince temporarily as
regent brings Prince Gustaf once more
into the ranks of European rulers.
King Oscars decision to relieve him
self for time from cares of state is
taken as a result of medical advice 1t
is said he is near collapse, mentally
and physically, as a consequence Of
oYerwork and distress over the tense
relations between Sweden and Nor
way.
The crown prince, who ruled as re-
gent in 1899, is a man of energetic
character and has frequently manifest
ed disapproval of his fathers tendency
to temporize with opponents instead Of
boldly attacking and crushing them. He
is the great grandson of Napoleons
famous Gen. Bernadotte, the first king
Of the present line. He is forty four
years old.
Prince Gustaf differs from his father,
the king, in possessing little or no taste
for literature or for science. Instead
of being a theorist and a dreamer, he
is essentially a man of action, all the
romance that he may have inherited
having been stamped out Of his nature
when he was forced as a young man to
break off the engagement which he had
made to marry the daughter of Swed-
