maintaining of freight rates and other
wise sitting competition.
After that decision, which was an
nounced early in the fall of 1896. the
eastern roads effected another combi-
nation in which they attempted to get
around the decision by various
changes in methods. The new combi-
nation was called The Joint Traffic
Association Mr.. Harmon at once
brought a suit to enjoin action under
their agreement.
Shortly afterwards the manufacture
ers of iron piping got up a scheme to
prevent competition and were prompt
ly sued under the existing low. The
case was United States versus Addy-
stone Pipe Company ct al. Both of
these later cases were begun by Attor-
ney General Harmon during his term.
They were argued in the supreme
court after he left Washington. but
were decided Tor the government on
precisely the lines established in the
original case against the Trans Mis-
sissippi association.
The Northern Securities case was
the natural consequence of the prin-
ciples established in the three prior
cases. The Northern Securities case
was by no means a spontaneous and
brilliant inspiration emanating from
the Roosevelt administration. II the
Northern Securities case reflects any
credit upon a president and an attor-
ney general that credit is Cleveland's
and HarmOn's.

TRADING STAMP QUESTION.

Some of the trading stamp COM
panies are being hard hit by the news
papers which have had the nerve to
get after the merchants who give away
hundreds of dollars to concerns which
have no interest in their towns, says
Newspaperdom. Out at Patchogue
the merchants got together after two
weekles in that town had banged the
trading stamp proposition good and
hard, and entered into an agreement
whereby each agreed to cut out the
stamp feature of their business. The
result has been that the stamp peo-
pie are badly worried. They have
even threatened to start a new depart
ment store; they have threatened to
establish a new newspaper, and they
have Threatened other dire calamities,
it is said. But the merchants of the
town will out with the stamps just the
same. The newspapers are not wor-
Ileu at OH anu are putting IL up " tllC
stamp crowd right along. Here is
what the Advance says in an EDITORIAL
The trading stamp promoters were
in town this week offering all kinds of
inducements to some OF the merchants
to break their word and repudiate
their signature to the agreement not to
use stamps after June Is. The rep
resentative of the octopus that has had
the public and merchants by the
throat for a half year or more was un-
able to accomplish anything. The mer-
chants are standing pat.
The gentlemen threatened all sorts
of dire consequences. A new depart
ment store was one Of the threats. He
is even considering the establishment
Of a newspaper because the papers
here have stood by the merchants in
their fight against this great trading
stamp hold up. He threatens libel
suits and other awful things. The
gentleman was really put out. No
wonder, for his company, probably, is
taking $4,000 a year out of Patchogue.
And that is the best reason in the
world why the merchants should stick
together on this proposition"

The committee appointed by the
Commercial Club to take charge of ar
engagements for the Fourth of July
celebration deserves to be congratu-
lated on the splendid success that re-
Warded their labOrs. Walla Walla
never had a better celebration. Every
body seemed to enjoy the program
from beginning to end. 1t is generally
agreed that the display of fireworks in
the evening was the best ever seen
here, and nobody was heard to say
that the committee had not got the
worth OF the money expended for this
pleasing climax to the list of enter
tainments that made the day one OF
genuine enjoyment.

REPUBLICAN ORGAN ON LOYALTY

The P.-I. is mistaken in the as
sumption that the revolt arises be-
cause of the defeat of Mcbride or even
of the commission plank. Had the del
egauonS to that convention been left
to decide the matter for themselves,
without outside interference, there
would have been nothing more than a
grumble OF dissatisfaction. 1t is not
what the convention gave US but what
the lobby forced down our threats.

what may be lost by refusing to vote

most manhood, he who refuses to be
rounded up and branded by such men
as Farrell and Charlie Chamberlain,

cause OF the cry OF party fealty. The

STEALING DEMOCRACY'S CREDIT

Nowhere in the republican platform
is the recklessness of mendacity more
strikingly exploited than in its point
ing with pride to the Roosevelt anti
trust record, where it says:
Laws enacted by the republican
party which the democratic party
failed to enforce and which were in
tended for the protection Of the pub
lie against the unjust determinations
or the Illegal encroachment OF vast ag-
gregations of capital have been fear
lessly enforced by republican presi-
dent
In the face of the facts it is ridicu-
lous to assert that Mr.. Roosevelt orig
that the present trust laws were
sourced in a republican adninistra-
hood to charge the democratic party
with failure to enforce the prior anti
Cleveland administration laid the
foundation for Mr.. Roosevelt's alleged
antitrust activity, and such credit
as he and his party have appropriated
rightly belongs to the democratic ad-
ministration preceding Mckinley.
One of the first cases to which
Attorney General Harmon, under
President Cleveland, addressed his eff
forts was the great case Of the Unit
ed States VS.. The Trans Mississippi
Freight Association. 1t had been lost
by the government prior to Harmon
taking office and was pending on ap-
peal in the supreme court. Seeing it's
