EFFECT OF LAW ON
FINANCIAL INTERESTS

Discussing the question as to the
effect of the antitrust law on man
cial interests, Justice Harlan said the
prediction had been made that disaster
to business and widespread hnanclai
ruin woAd= follow the execution OF It's
provisions, and he added that such
predictions had been made In con-
nection with all preceding cases under
that act; ''but," he said. they have
not be verified" and cont mued: s4sess
1t Is the history of monopolies in this
country and in England Snaf preolctionS
of ruin are habitually made by them
when it is attempted, by legislation. to
restrain their operations and to protect
the public against their exactions. In this,
as in former cases, they seek shelter be.
hind the reserved rights of the states and
the constitutional guaranteeLsof liberty OF
contract But this court has heretofore
adjudged that the act of congress did not
touch the rights of the. states and that
liberty of contract did not involve
right to deprive the public of the adj
vantages of free competition in trade and
commerce. ROE
But even if the court shared the gloomy
forebodings in which the defendants IN
dulge it could not refuse to respect the
action of the legislative branch of the
government if what 1t has done Is within
the limits of its constitutional power. The
suggestions of disaster to- business nave,
we apprehend, their origin in the zeal of
the parties who are opposed to the policy
| underlying the act of congress or are in
terested in the result of this particular
case; at any rate. the suggestions imply
that the court may and ought to refuse
the enforcement of the provisions of the
act if. in its, Judgment, congress was not
wise in prescribing as a rule by which
the conduct of interstate and information
al commerce is to be governed. that ev
cry combination, whatever its form, In
restraint of such commerce and the mo-
nopolizing or attempting to monopolize
such commerce shall be Illegal These
| plainly are questions as to the policy of
! legislation which belong to the legislative
| department and this court has no function
| to supervise such legislation from the
standpoint of wisdom or policy.

SLIGHT CHANGE NECESSARY.
Small Percentage of Shifting of
Voters Needed to Wipe Out
OdelIs Plurality

Those supporters of Judge Parker
who are discouraged by the odds
against them as shown by the figures
of recent elections will do we'll to re-
fleet upon the fact that there are
great many voters in this country, and
that very slight change in sentiment
is enough to produce tremendous eff
fects in the election returns.
At least 100000 votes will be cast
for President this year. The States of
New York, New Jersey, Connecticut,
Delaware, West Virginia and Colorado.
added to those carried by the Demo
Gratis in the last State elections. would
he enough to elect Judge Parker. A
change of $4,000 votes, or little over
one-tifth of one per cent. of the total
vote of the Union. would carry these
six States. A change of less than one
third of one per cent. of the vote of
this State alone would wipe out Odell's
last plurality in New York.
If Judge Parker'S strength does not
represent more than these minute mar
gins of votes, the influence of a just
cause and a good candidacy on cleo
lions has been greatly exaggerated.

PROMISE OR THREAT?
Danger of Continuing the Republi-
can Program of Extravagance.

President Roosevelt in his letter Of
acceptance said among other things.
I'VE believe that the progress we
of the progress we shall continue to
make if the people again intrust the
government of the nation to our hands
We do not stand still"
Considering this statement as sincere
and believing that what has been done
is merely q measure of what will be
done, what will be the effect upon the
United States Army? If what has
been done is the measure of what is to
be done, then the army, which now
costs three times as much as when the
Republicans regained power, will cost
three times as much in the ensuing
eight years if the government of the
nation is continued in Republican
hands.
In other words. the army, which in
1897. cost S23, 100, 344, cost SI007O.3O0
this year, and If this progress may be
taken as a measure of the progress"
which will follow. eight years from
now the army will cost S210.000,000 a
year.
The cost of the navy. which has also
tripled, may. under Mr.. Roosevelt's
promise Tor threat. triple again. Eight
Republican years have raised its an
nual cost from $50, O03. 234 to sos. OO5,-
40. Eight more years of the same
sort of extravaganza should naturally
bring its cost up to about 100000, 900.

SHEPARD'S EXPOSURES.
Democratic Proportions of Prosper
ity Far Exceed Republican Pre-
tensions

Republican Prosperity" Talk.-Shall
we take the increase in total manu-
features, which is the glory of the pro-
tectionists? We have not the official
figures before 1850, which would, no
doubt, show enormous proportional in
creases. Let us, as We must, begin
with 1850.
The Democratic increase for 1850
1860 was from $1,019,0OO to 81 ,SS5, Co.,
900, or at the decade rate of "a per
cent. But in 1S90-1900 the Republican
and protected increase-allowing the
abnormally high prices of 1900-was
from $9,372 100000 to $1,000, 600, 900.
or at the decade rate of only 39.2 per
cent. Is it not significant that, while
the total manufacturing product in
creased in 1S90-1900 by 80 per cent,
the increase in wages and salaries paid
employees was from only S2,2S3 10000
to 81, 135, 0O0,0 900, or at the decade rate
of 1913 per cent, being only one-half
the ratable increase in the manufac-
turing output? So it is to be noticed
that, while population increased in
1S50-1S60 by 50 per cent, the increase
in manufacturing output was 81 per
cent, or % times the rate of popula-
ton increase; but that the population
increase from 1S90-1900 was 21S per
cent, while the increase in wealth was
39.2 per cent, or only Isl times the
population increase. indeed, in what
ever just way the figures of even man
ufacturing growth are treated, they
tell for the period of Democratic rule
and greater economic liberty. Edward
NJ. Shepard, of New York.

HOPE FOR WEST VIRGINIA.

W. f. Chiffon, ex-Secretary of the
State of West Virginia, and who served
as Chairman of the Democratic organi-
cation in his State when it gave its
electoral vote to Cleveland, was a call
err at National Democratic Committee
headquarters last week.
While West Virginia must be con
sidered a debatable State" said Mr..
Chiffon. there are many good reasons
for believing we shall carry it in No
vember The platform and the candi-
dates of our party are very acceptable
to our people, and ex-senator Davis
for many years has been one of the
most popular men in the State. The
principal thing we shall have TO fight
is the tendency of the Republicans to
poll Illegal votes, especially among the
negroes. but l believe we shall be able
to overcome this with the precautions
we are taking for vigilance"

CHEAP CHARGE.
Judge Parker Beyond and Above
Control by Special Interests.

Ex-senator James X. Jones, of Ar
kansas, late Chairman of the Demo
cratic National Committee, joins Mr.
Bryan in unqualified praise of Judge
Parker. Mr.. Jones recently said of
the candidate:
Judge Parker is recognized every
where as an able, incorruptible states
man, and if he sIould be elected Presi-
dent there would be no fear at any
time Of the business interests or pros
perity of the Nation being disturbed.
The cheap and contemplate charge,
intended to injure Judge Parker, that
he is dominated or controlled by cor
rupt Wall Street elements is, beyond
all doubt, absolutely false. If he is
elected, he will resolutely enforce the
laws against all Illegal combinations
and under his administration no preda-
tory Government favorites will be shell
tered"
Martinsburg statesman. [volume] (Martinsburg, W. Va.) 1869-1906, 1904-10-07
A RATHER POOR COMPARISON.

Alleged statistics" being circulated
by the Republican Campaign Commit
tee assert that there has been no very
considerable increase in the cost Of liv-
ing as compared to the wages earned,
and one of the comparisons made is
with regard to building materials. II
is shown that while bricks have In
creased 303 per cent. putty has de
creased 29.5 per cent. This it is con
tended is an offset, but contractor
figuring on the construction of house
would hardly be willing to offset the
increase in the cost of bricks by the de-
crease in the cost of putty. Many
other such comparisons are made in
the schedules furnished from the M.
tional Bureau of Labor.
