Republicans Up Against Trust Facts.
The Republicans have never ceased
to worry about the facts in regard to
prices, wages and the cost Of living
under Dingley bill trust rule, as pre-
sented in the last Democratic campaign
book. Notwithstanding that with each
attempt to get away from or disproye
these facts they work themselves
deeper into the trust miro. yet they
are foolish enough &c continue their
spasmodic Struggle. Mr.. HILL of Con-
necticut, made a desperate effort last
Saturday to prove, by the table Of
prices In the Democratic campaign
book. that. the prices of the articles
on the free list had advanced more
from 1896 TO 1902 than did the prices
of the articles on the dutiable list. He
took all of the eleven articles on the
free list and showed that the prices
of these had advanced 20 per cent.
Then he selected twenty-one articles
from the TIA on the dutiable list, and,
amid Republican applause, showed that
the prices of these rose only 15A per
cent from 1896 to 1902.
Judge Griggs, of Georgia, chairman
Of the Democratic Congressional Com
mittee, got after Mr.. Hill on Wednes-
day and simply pulverized him. Not
only did he select another list of TWEEN
ty-one important articles from the cam
paign book list the prices Of each and

an average of II per cent from 1896 to
1902. but he showed that all but OF

Growing Tired of Trust Rule.

Many manufacturers who have sold
out to trusts have grown weary of in
action or salaried place or submission
to a board of directors and have gone
back into their old busine IS with the
capital which the trust paid them for
the wOrks-almost invariably more
than the works are worth. Thus the
combination to suppress competition
has resulted in more competition. One
of the chief members of the typewriter
trust has withdrawn and incorporated
a company with S5,000,000 of capital to
manufacture writing machines. 1t is
explained that the profits of his com
pany We're larger in proportion than
those of other members of the trust
and he has made up his mind to use
his own business ability for himself
instead of for other people.-Phlladel-

Raising a Campaign Fund.

The only antitrust legislation that
the present Congress will pass, if the
statehood fight continues, Is an amend
ment to the bill creating the Depart
ment of Commerce and Labor, which
amendment authorizes the investiga-
ticn of trust transactions as the bureau
may be able to gather them and these
are only to be made public at the dis
erection of the President. The trusts
evidently do not object to this law,
for those Republican Senators, who are
known to be friends of the trusts, IA
yor the amendment. The only danger
to the trusts is that in the event OF the
election of a Democratic President he
might order all trust transactions to
be made public and the people would
know the enormous profits the trusts
are making on what they sell in this
country. and the fact that many Of
the trusts are selling cheaper to the
foreigner than they are here. There
is no likelihood of a Republican Presi-
dent exposing such transactions of the
trusts because it would prove the con-
tention of the Democrats that the tar
if fosters the trusts. The fact is that
this so-called antitrust amendment is
of no actual service to the people as
far as results are concerned; it is mere
ly enacted to point TO as some effort
to curb the trusts. Again the people
have been fooled. 1t is evident that
such a measure viii make it more In
cumbent than ever upon the trusts to
put up Doodle to elect a President who
will serve them faithfully and who
viii not expose their secrets TO their
injury. Thus this measure guarantees
an ample Republican campaign fund.

True Ieffersonian Doctrine.

Jefferson's whole theory of govern
ment was based upon the improperly
of the government doing anything for
the citizen that the citizen could do
for himself. or to its assuming any du-
ties which could be performed by in
dividuals. either s.lone or in associa-
ton. 1t was a root-hog- or-die republic
that jefferson believed in. founded up
on the everlasting equality of Oppor-
tunity. 1t is not equality of opportuni-
ty that the Populists believe in so
much as in the equality of achieve
ment, which is at variance with ev-
erything that Jefferson conceived as
freedom and liberty and life.-Detroit

Mormons and RepubJicans.


The whole Mormon question was in
jected into the debate in the Senate
on the statehood bill last week, when
it was developed that there is a large
Mormon constituency in Arizona and
New Mexico, and the startling state
ment was made that mo Mormon could
run for high political Office without
the consent of the first presidency Of
the Mormon Church. This debate was
significant in view of the advent Of
the Mormon issue when Apostle Smoot
shall present himself for admission to
the Senate. The Republican leaders
in the last presidential campaign made
a political bargain with some of the
Mormon apostles that if the Mormon
vote was cast in Utah and other States
for the Republican candidates, there
should be no further legislation against
polygamy. Senator McComas charac-
terized the prohibition of polygamy as
contained in the Utah enabling act as

CHILDREN.


rhe sleeping echoes of her quiet room
Are never walked by bursts of childish
glee,
And mp the polished staircase never come
Light gatherings of footsteps swift and
free.
Alone she sits and in the twilight gloom
Dreams happily of what shall never
be.
Sometimes her wistful fancy strews the
floor
erich carpeted and neat) with broken
toys;
Paints finger prints on window glass and
door,
Hears echoes of shrill laughter and
rude noise;
all that tired mother might Geplore
Would seem to her starved heart as
priceless joys!
Till, from the world without, some sud
den note
OF childish voices through her hearing
rings,
And sobs of anguish rise to her white
throat,
Round which no dimpled arm in mis-
chief clings;
Gone are the sweet dream-faneies, as
may float
From earth to heaven the fash of angel
wings.
And yet, no little empty crib is there
To mock the mother arms, outstretch-
ed in vain,
She boards no shining tress of silken
hair,
No tiny grave where buried hopes lie
slain;
Only the deeper loss she has to bear
Upon whose heart no babe of hers has
lain.

Senator Roehr on Friday introduced an
anti-anarchy bill in the Legislature. The
bill defines anarchy as the doctrine that
organized government should be over
thrown by force or violence, or by assas-
sination of the executive head or of any
of the executive officials of the govern
ment, or by any unlawful means. The
advocacy of such doctrine by word of
mouth or by writing is made felony.
OF the nine bills aimed at trusts in the
Wisconsin Legislature the one which has
tie best chance of becoming a law was
introduced by Senator J. ]. McGillivray.
1t provides for detailed annual reports of
all corporations operating in Wisconsin
to be submitted to the Attorney General
showing in detail amount of stock and
bonds, property and securities. Any COM
bination or agreement in restraint of
trade or the granting of any shipping re-
bate is made an otfense and punishable.
The judiciary committee will insert a
penalty clause. A memorial to Congress
was offered in both houses calling for
constitutional convention to provide IN

providing for the election of United
States Senators by direct vote. The law
of gravitation is not approved by some
