A tremendous mass meeting was held
In Faneuil hall on Dec. 30. 10 was called
under the auspices Of the American
Free Trade league. The audience Jump.
ed to its feet and yelled approval
Of tho most vehement arraignments OF
the coal, beef and other trusts. Some Of
the speakers were General Hazard
Stevens. Robert Treat Paine, Jr., Rev.
Edward A. Morton, Hon. Eugene III.
Poss, Colonel Norman r. Hesseltine,
Hon Charles s. Hamlin and Samuel
w. Mendum
Among other things Mr. HesseItIno
said:
"Our secretary OF the navy has said
that the duty on coal was fraud. The
secretary Of the treasury has Illegally
directed custom house officials to neg.
lect tho levy. II II was good thing,
why was the tax fraudulently imposed
and its assessment illegally abated
Since II Is fraud, shame on those con.
gressmen who are responsible for H."
Mr.. Samuel w. Mendum said.
''The duties on meats are maintained
by and for the money oligsrchy which
controls tho American meat market. In
other words, this Is not n question Of
free trade or protection. but a question
OF right or wrong DO our

Why Congress Does Nothing.
What VIII congress do about the in
terstatc commerce commissions latest
report3
Nothing.
Yet that report sets forth once more
n condition OF things which should star
tie self governing people into insist
ing upon immediate drastic action by
the nations lawmaklng body.
The commission sets forth, what cy-
erybody already knows. that the rail-
roads Of the country have practically
ceased 70 compete with one another.
that they give secret rates To favored
shippers which enable those shippers TO
XIII Off competition and that the trans.
portation managers pay no respect
whatever to the law which forbids dis
crimination.
There ought 20 bo some power"
says the commission, (which can not
only compel these carriers 60 maintain
the published rate, but which can COM
pei them 10 publish fair and reason
able rate"
There Is such n power. The commits
sion Itself points straight at II when 1t
declares:
"Tho fullest power OF correction ia
vested In congress, and the exercise OF
that power is demanded by the highest
considerations OF public welfare"
But congress. which for years has
had complete knowledge OF the facts,
has done nothing and VIII do nothing
now.
Why1
Because the shippers favored by the
railroads are the big trusts.

A LIVELY MUMMY.

The Washington Post OF Jan. 4 says:
Tho Chicago Chronicles devotion 10

esy OF free trade IL 80 Intense that it
never omits possible opportunity or
rcsists a temptation 10 show it's rabid
nnimosity toward the triumphantly
indicated doctrine OF protection. In.
deed, tho Chronicle hunts for such op.
portpnities and Invites that temptation,
ignoring the abundant proofs That It's
idol is for all practical purposes as
dead as the oldest Egyptian mummy"
Free trade Is 'fossillzcd hcrcsy"
and an Egyptian mummy" IL it2 It
never was more animated than now.
Not for years has there been as much
free tradc-not tariff reform, but radl-
cal free tradc--talk, both I'm and out OF
Washington, as during tho past four
months. Hundreds of newspapers are
demanding that coal, beef, steel, hides
and numerous other trust products DO
put on the free list. A free trade mass
meeting was held IN Fanueil hall, Bos.
ton. on Dec. 30. A great audience yelled
itself hoarse for free trade I'm coal, beef
and other articles.
The tariff tax now has mocc enemies

mummy that II has aroused the Ropub-

slumber. Speaker Henderson got fright

SLICED heresy" approaching under the
banner "Iowa Idea" Babcock and other

Unnecessary Conventions In ohio.
Boss Hanna has nominated his friend
Hcrrick Of Cleveland as the candidate
Of the Republican party for governor
Of Ohio. He win allow the party to
hold convention next fall and indorse
his selections for governor and other
candidates. Quite a number OF Repub-
lican editors Of that state want the
party to hold an old fashioned conven-
tion and make the nominations I'm the
ancient way. These are supposed to be
sympnthizers with the ambition OF
Congressman Dick, whom Boss Hanna
placed at the head Of the state commit
tee. For the past seven years Boss
Hanna has had undisputed control OF
the Republican party OF Ohio. AS the
Republicans OF that state evidently like
20 be bossed, the objections OF these
Republican editors VIII probably be
futile What Is the use Of holding Re.
publican conventions In Ohio anyway?
They are expensive luxuries and under
the modern boss system entirely I'M
iecessary.

Treasurer Roberts Deception as q
the Cause OF High Prices.

Treasurer Roberts Deception as 90
the cauke OF high Prices.
AS rule the present heads OF the
government departments and bureaus
recognize the trusts as the real power
behind the Republican throne and un-
derstand what is required OF them II
they wish 10 hold ON TO their jobs. In
short. they serve the trusts. Some serve
I'm their official capacity only; others
curry favor and promotion by serving
with all their faculties at all times.
These latter are the wise ones. as Is
evident from the kind OF men appointed
10 commissions. bureaus. etc.
Treasurer Ellis IL. Roberts was un-
doubtedly right when he told the con-
vention OF the American Association
for the Advancement OF Science that.
with all other things equal. large adj
ditions TO the currency carry up the
prices OF commodities measured by f."
He then said that notable advances
have taken place In the prices OF arti-
cies OF necessity during the last i've
years, His estimate of the Increased
cost OF living MS % 60 30 per cent Is un-
doubtedly too low. however.
Treasurer Roberts would have us In
Ter that these increased prices and high
or cost of living are due entirely to the
additions TO the currency OF the coun-
try. The increase In gold alone In this
country. Ire said. had averaged S10I,-
1865 year since Jan. l., 1890. He
said nothing about the marvellous
growth OF trusts since the passage OF
the DingIey act In 1897 and the proba-
bility. amounting almost TO a certainty.
that most OF the advance In prices Is
due to the monopoly of our markets by
these protected trusts. In fact. most
OF the notable advances can be traced
to some trust formed since 1897 or to
natural causes. such as poor crops
abroad or poor crops at home. Some
farm products are selling for less now
than I'm 1897 IN spite OF the great scar
city abroad. Thus Mr.. Roberts men
tions wheat as being lower now than in
1897.
That the trusts are the real culprlts
In putting up prices Is evident from a
consideration OF foreign prices. France.
England and Germany have increased
their gold holdings since 1893 almost
as much as has this country. Yet the
cost OF living In those countries has In
creased only about one-third as much as
here and, In fact, has probably declined
considerably during the last two years,
in spite OF poor crops there and while
IT was rapidly rising IN our own trust
ridden country. Sauerbeck's Index"
tables show that prices in England de-
clined per cent In 1901 and were only
10 per cent higher than in 1896. Prices
there probably declined further In 1902.
although most meat and other products
imported from the United States were
higher.
II is up TO Treasurer Roberts to tell
us why, with greatly increased curren-
c. both here and abroad, prices have
not risen almost as much there as here.
with ali other things equal" he said.
VIII hc please tell us what other things
that might affect prices were as une-
quail .n this period as the growth OF
trusts here and abroad7
No, he Will not He prefers TO play
the sycophant and to apologize for the
trusts.
