A Blow To the Trust.

The merger decision has been
made and the result is surprise to
the trusts and to the democrats.
The republicans express high graft.
hcation over the fact that the effec
tiveness OF the present anti trust
legislation is now demonstrated.
The result fully reiutes the areu
ments made by the democrates thai
the work of the republicans was
ineffective. 1t robs the democratic
party and democratic press of a
valuable campaign issue.
The Northern securities case was
put forward for hearing and was
tried in the court of appeals, under
provisions OF the bill Of last session
providing for expediting cases OF
this character. By the success OF
this case the republican party has
demonstrated its sincerity in its
promises to regulate trusts. A Re
publican congress has provided the
law and republican president and
attorney general have executed it.
One. thing is certain to the mind,
those who discuss the attitude OF
the Trusts toward the issue, if the
great financial interests The cor
porations and trusts dare to utter a |
word OF protest or whisper a threat
against the present administration
for this action, it will do more good |
to the republican party Id the next
campaign than all the contributions
to the campaign fund by the trusts
could accomplish.

Let Good Enough Alone

The key note TO Roosevelt's MIN
reapolis speech is SUNNI arized in
this practical sentiment: III a tar
if law has on the whole worked
well, and if business has prospered
under it, and is prospecting, il ma
be better to endure some inconve
niences ard inequalities for time
than by making changes to risk
causing disturbance and perhaps
paralysis in the industries and bus
mess OF the country" This argu-
ment is bound to appeal to we'll
balanced minds. AS the test OF
the pudding is in the eating Of it,
so results of political or economic
measure must give the final yer.
dict as to its ACCESSIBILITY. The
American laborer is superior to the
European workingman. He has
greater intelligence. greater skill
and greater ingenuity. But he
also demands more. He expe CHS
to derive from his work a larger
share of the profits than his Euro.
pean competitor. And it is for
this reason that the tariff is the
great safeguard against the impor.
tation OF cheap labor products.
1t is claimed that the argument
Is futile in as much as the greater
skill of the workingman aud his
more adequate machinery should
enable our workingmen to crowd
their competitors to the wall. But
experience proves the contrary
This may be due to the fact that
the superior skill OF the American
workingman and his superior ma.
chinery have been overestimated
or that European labor methods
have been underestimate; but
while such estimates are merely
opinions, the undeniable fact re-
mains that with the tariff removed
the influx of foreign goods has al.
ways proven disastrous to the
American manufacturer, has closed
our factories, has thrown our men
out of employ ment, and eventually
brought on periods of financial de
preston. There are undoubtedly
great economic laws and prime pies,
but few people comprehend them.
Like in any other science the hu.
man mind is as yet in the dark as
regards financial conditions. Pat.
rick Henry is not the only one
whose feet are guided by the lamp
OF experience. We k ow that pros.
perity follows in the train of the
tariff. We know that free trade
has been coincident with hard
times. Why should we risk |
causing disturbance and perhaps
paralysis" by flying from thos,
ills we have to hers that we know
not of.

FISH STORIES GALORE
SINCE YESTERDAY
Many the Tales Told of Wonderful Success With Hook and Line
An the Boats Hired out Early the Morning and Late Corners
We're Disappointed Saturdays Storm interered

[ Yesterday was great day for the
fishermen and they took advantage of
it, by coming to this city from all the
surrounding towns and cities in great
numbers. The fishermen yesterday.
that is,a large majority of them, were
from out of town, and were attracted
hither by the reports of those who
have secured their share, and perhaps
more, of the finny inhabitants of the
waters of Raritan and Princess Bays,
and also of the sound
While the storm of Saturday inter
ferred somewhat with the abundance
of fish, very fair catches were report
ed by those who went out yesterday,
even though many of them were such
buffers that they didn't know how
to use the oars, or how to handle .
crab without getting into a lawsuit
with his teeth.
Early yesterday morning all the
boats on hand at Liddle's, VanPelt's
and Walters were hired and many
more could have been rented had they
been available. The largest catch re-
ported at VanPelt's was twenty five,
but they were all well up and no one
had any "kicks coming"
Two gentlemen from Newark, who
were too bashful to give their names
and who hid behind door so that the
reporter could not take their photo
graphs for publication. showed o
catch of nineteen and refused to tell
how many more they threw away.
A party of four young men, who
went out in one of VanPelts skiffs
about O'Clock in the morning and
returned at noon, had sixteen nice
ones, and another crowd of three ex-
hibited eleven as a mark Of their
angling ability.

nice bunch yesterday and also this
morning One noticeably fine catch
was made by merry half-dozen from
some nearby town. By request the
name OF the fish caught is not pub
lished.
The Alpine Baseball Club went fish,
ing in two boats and secured four
toadtish and sand porgy. For chal-
lenges address their manager, George

The best fishing was short distance
off shore and not, way out as is usual
ly the case, so that few were fatigued
by the row to the fishing grounds.
On the whole the day was a gala one
for Perth Amboy fishing expeditions,
and all got what they came for.

Yesterday chairman Pierce and

Yacht Club, went to South Amboy
and measured the two boats which
have been entered thus far from that
place. These officials had intended
to visit Keyport also, but the rough
weather prevented them. The total
entry list for the contest on August
now numbers nineteen. The race is
now less than two weeks of. BY the
time of the race the clubs in Keyport,

will have sent in their entries and
most of the boats from this city which
were in the first race, together with
some new-ones, will be entered. 1t ia
expected that the list will be much
greater than for the former contest,
which numbered thirty.
