Real Breeders of Socialism.

The chief teachers of socialism in
this country are those who have osten-
tatiously paraded their power under
present conditions to conjure enor-
nous wealth from combinations, from
trusts, from water, from railroad dis
elimination, from legislative favor.
When people see vast corporations
built up by secret contracts with COM
mon carriers in violation Of law,
when they see other corporations per-
mitted by ill-adjusted tariff duties to
sell their goods here for SO much that
it is profitable to purchase abroad
those same goods manufactured here
and freight them back, it is no won
der that they grow discontinued. We
firmly believe that plunge into
socialism would be the ruin of this
country. Its salvation must be found
In free initiative and enterprise as of
old. Whatever seems to large bodies
of the people to trench upon that free
dom by granting special privileges
tends to provoke demands for such
regulation of equality as will kill in
dividualism and enterprise.

How Is This for Conservatism 2

It was no obscure member sitting
down away back, 1t was no Populist,
1t was no cheap Democrat bidding for
socialist votes that bobbed up in the
\ house at Washington and proposed
THAT Uncle Sam take possession OF
all COAL coal beds and coal mines in
the United States and all lines of
transportation of COAL"
It was the Republican chairman Of
the house judiciary committee who
proposed all that.
1t was a man chosen for his sup
posed coolheadedness, conservatism
and respect for the constitution and
the laws made in pursuance thereof
as head of the most conservative COM
: mittee of hte house.
It was a man chosen by the Speaker
of the House, who is supposed to
stand very near the head of the Re-
publican party of the count-y-the
party which denounced and hooted
and jeered the appropriation plank of
the New York Democratic platform
f46st fall-the plank which the Demo
I cratic nominee for governor of that
! state made haste to repudiate.
IT was John J. Jenkins of Wiscon-
ISM, a. Republican supposed to stand
at about the farthest remove from
revolutionary socialism, who proposed
ssfp- distance the New York Hill plat
: form and give the country tremen-
dous send-off in the direction Of
. state socialism.
What has happened to the Repub-
yIican party lately?
1t looks good deal like panic and
a general run for the tall timber.

from lack of coal are suffering also
from the lack of many other things.
all of which cost money.
A great deal Of political capital wss
made few years ago when, during
the course of severe winter. 1t was
found that many people were suffering
for the necessaries of life and some
soup kitchens we're established with
an ostentation which derived not
little of its vigor from the knowledge
that they could be referred to later on
as frightful examples of what happen
ed to the country when nothing more
than an attempt was made to take
some of the injustice out of Its laws.
1t should be remembered hereafter
that with the country enjoying what
everybody who can gain the ear or
the eye Of the public is disposed to
call wonderful prosperity the distress
among the poor this year is as keen
as 1t ever was and that the measures
that now seem necessary to relieve 1t
are quite as comprehensive as they
were in 1894-5, when alms-giving be-
came fashionable because 1t seemed
to reflect upon q political and eco
nomic policy which the majority OF
the people then looked upon as dis
credited.
It should not be forgotten, either,
that every pound Of coal, every piece
of beef and every article Of clothing
now distributed among the suffering
poor is taxed roundly to promote the
prosperity Of somebody.

TIME AS A CURE-ALL
DolLlvER HAS CURIOUS REM
EDY FOR TRUST EVILS.
Iowa statesman's one-slded Philoso-
phy-The Longer the People Endure
Corporation Greed, the More Ex-
tortionate viii the Monopolies
Prove.

Senator Delivers remarks at New
York banquet hold out curious rem.
edy for the evils complained Of as to
the trusts.
within twenty years." he said,
EVERY trust magnate Of to-day will be
dead or in a sanitarium for nervous
diseases, and the world will be looking
for trained men to do the worlds
work."
This Is a solemn subject, but the
years that are expected to work such
havoc among the trust magnates will
not pass more lightly over the heads
Of others. In twenty years most OF
the men who are honestly attempting
to curb the trusts will be dead also
and as for the victims of these com.
binations-the people who >are com.
PEELED to do without things that they
need-if they are not dead or in sani'
tariums they will be in asylums and
hospitals and poorhouses. So Mr.
Delivers philosophy is no philosophy
al all. It is a one-sided fatalism
which does not look at the other side
and which does not even have the
wisdom of the ancient philosophy
which found expression in the words;
ut will make no difference hundred
years from now"
Sir Edward Coke said many years
ago that Corporations cannot com
NIT treason, nor be outlawed nor ex
communicated, for they have nc
souls" So far as time and death and
decay are concerned they have nc
bodies, either, and in one form or an
other they live forever.
People who wait for time to cure
the evils of combination and monopo
'ly will be disappointed. There are
some things in the world which grow
stronger with age. The longer the
victims of trusts endure their oppres
sions the less likely will they be to
take effective measures against them
Like monarchs, the magnates Of
the trusts may die or collapse from
nervous prostration, but they will be
succeeded by others, and all history
shows that those born to the purple
are apt to have less regard for popu
lar rights than the founders Of dynas
ties.

Partisan Stoljdity.

Although substantial assurance
from Congress that the Republican
majority will vote with the Democrats
to remove the duty on coal would In
stantly ease the coal situation and
burst the "corner"-particularly in
New England-no word Of hope comes
from either branch of that body nor
from the White House.
President Roosevelt plays q pretty
and piquapt part as humanitarian
when it takes nothing out Of pockets
he relies on for contributions to his
political candidacy.
Fabricated pets in senate and
house look in stolid indifference upon
millions of shivering men, women and
children and indicate no intention Of
Fastening relief to their frosted doors.
The coal corner" and coal famine
are a powerful object lesson in the
brutality Of the tariff.

The Speakers Dangerous Power.

The power vested in the Speaker by
the rules which give him absolute
control of committe assignments is
one foreign to the true functions OF
his office and subject to the gravest
and most radical abuse. That it has
been used in the past to debauch the
minority as well as to terrorize the
majority there can be no question.
And SO long as the Speaker retains
this check on free speech and honest
thought he will remain-and must
remain-the dictator, not the servant
of the house.

Mexico and the MonopolIes.

Mexico has clear idea Of what to
do with protected industries when
they exact unreasonable prices. There
is a wheat ring in that country which,
aided by the tariff on grain, has been
screwing up the price till the bakers
have reduced their rates on American
grain and there is to be cheap bread
again in the City of Mexico. The
policy Of the government is to break
up all monopolies that raise the price
of living. If the United States govern
ment favored the same policy it would
employ the same means.

The Method of Pickpockets.

No Hope of Tariff Revision.

There is every indication that the
high protectionists are carrying an
amount of steam on the tariff question
which will certainly explode their
boilers. The hide-bound tenacity with
which they spurn every suggestion in
their own ranks for rational treatment
of that question foreshadows internal
d4ssension among them pregnant
with disaster. 1t is perfectly obvious
that there will be no tariff revision
until the Republican party goes out Of
