The SOCIALISTS were against the tariff which
has just been passed in Germany, and which
hits the United States hard. The fact that the
Socialists are the largest single ingredient Of
the German voters makes their attitude signi-
hcant. If the election districts for representa-
ton in the popular branch of the German
are those of the popular branch of the Ameri-
lean Congress, the Socialists would be much
stronger factor in legislation than they are.
They are growing rapidly, however, and are
causing serious embarrassment in the case Of
some of the kaiser's plans. A large majority
of them are against the Venezuelan raid.

THE BALTIMORE San says 1.-The year just en-
ded will long be remembered for the volcanic
eruptions il tthEi5sIslands of Martinique and st.
Vincent, in the West Indies, when $4,000 peo-
pie persisted. This catastrophe was unparal-
leled in the history of Affections which have
befallen mankind in modern times. Fortu.
nately the United States has not been visited
by any great CONFUSION of nature, nor has the
nation suffered from epidemics of disease.
On the whole, there are many reasons why
Americans should hold the old year in CRATE
full remembrance. In welcoming the new
year let them not forget that 1902 was very
good friend to them, even if it is to be credited
with some disastrous occurrences. Uncle Sam
will be fortunate if 1908 brings no worse luck
to him than that which he has enjoyed in the
last twelve months

LEADING REPUBLICANS in the House of Repre-
sentatives seem to agree that what is needed for
the regulation of the trusts is not new legisla-
ton, but the enforcement of laws now on the
statute book. The appropriation of $500, 900,
which has been inserted in helegisative execu-
tive and judicial appropriation BILL will at least
enable the Law Department of the Govern
ment to test how far the Sherman act can be
made effective for the correction of existing
conditions in some of the great manufacturing
industries of the country. Judge Grosscup
said the other day that an inspection made for
him of list of liz of the leading so-called
trusts in the United States showed that all but
Is had been created since the passage of the
Sherman act. The moral he drew from this
was that development so persistent could not
be entirely unnatural, and that it might be
found impossible by act of Congress success
fully to repeal what appeared to be fixed law
of industrial economy. But is it not also pos
sible that the conduct of proceedings, suits and
prosecutions under the Sherman act has here
tefore failed to receive proper attention be-
cause of lack of means or of disposition to un-
dertake them After the Senate approves the
House appropriation, and it becomes available,
there will be no excuse for the failure to ac
complsh by the Sherman act what its authors
intended except the limitations of the Consti
tuition or the inadequacy of the act itself.

SPEAKING EDIToRIALLY of the business out
look for 1908 the Baltimore american says:
1.-THE business circles of Baltimore insist that
1902 has been a good year for them, but that
the prospects for 1903 are much better. Every
line of enterprise reports the general conditions
to be much more promising than they were at
the same time last year. Nothing can hamper
the continuance of our success except an I'M
just or illegal discrimination against Baltimore
on the part of the railroads. If they do not
exasperate and handicap US by lack of dill
gence or by the extension of little favors to
the advantage of competing neighbors the
volume of our export trade, as well as our job
bling and manufacturing business, will show
large excess over the achievements of 1902
The general situation assures continuance of
profitable business results so long as no ex-
traneous forces are brought to bear to hamper
our efforts. In other words, prosperity here is
still on the ascendant
