FAITH vs.. APPETITE.

Hon. Bourke Cochran, of New York.
in a speech, made recently before
Tammany Hall. characterized the diff
ference between Democracy and Re
publicanism in the following terse
language:
Democrats are party Of principle
They follow principle and valoe Il
more than profit. Republicans havt
differed more widely than Democrats
upon every question which has been
active in our politics. They have d{t-
fered about the Philippines. about the
tariff. the gold question. about Cyhs,
about every single question which has
come before the public. but their off.
ferences never prevented them from
coming back as one man the moment
there was a chance Of getting posses.
sion Of the Government, and putting
their fists into the Treasury. Demo
Gratis. on the other side, have thrown
away prospects of success rather than
surrender their principles to which
they were committed. Democracy, in
fact, is faith, and Republlcanism is
an appetite"

Difference BETWEEN ENGLISH
AND AMERICAN TRUSTS.

English trusts are comparatively
harmless affairs. and cannot and have
not arbitrarily advanced prices except
in few instances. like that of brass
bedsteads. and then only temporarily.
The difference between a trust in a
free-trade country and one in high.
tariff country can be illustrated by
the Borax Consolidated, an English
corporation with s16,0o0,ooo capital.
This is a world trust, and the Pacific
Coast Borax Company, Of this country,
is the greatest Of the twelve companies
in the trust, and probably supplies as
much borax as all Of the other com.
panies combined. This world trust
sells re1ned borax to-day in this ccun.
try at TX cents and in England at 211o
cents per pound. Much Of the borax
sold in England is borax from the
mines of California, and is refined at
Bayonne, N. j., and exported to Eng
land. The duty on imported borax is
cents per pound, and was raised from
2 cents in 1897 by the Republicans
When the duty was cents, borax sold
here at cents. As matter of history
It may be stated that had there been
no duty on borax here there would
have been no world trust. The ex-
orbitant profits of the trust here en-.
abled it to sell borax at less than 2
cents per pound in Europe and to force
its competitors to sell their plants at
low prices. But this trust is compare
lively harmless in free-trade England,
while it is most harmful in protection.

There was one thing, Mr.. Chairman,
that did like in the speech of the
gentleman from Illinois (Mr. BoutelO /,
and that was his statement that he did
give some credit to Almighty God for
the prosperity which he claims exists
in this country. He was the first Re

admit that. But even he did not dare
tell this house what percentage he
claimed Of the prosperity Of the coun.
try was due to the Republican party,
and what percentage was due to the
goodness of the Almighty. assume
that the percentage he was going to
credit to the Almighty was so small
It he was ashamed to state it.
And then the gentleman from
Illinois looked around the room and
demanded of some Democrat to contra

prosperous. Well, wonder, Mr.. Chair
