THE WARNING TRUSTS.

The Detroit Tribune says editorial"
" that "the extreme fOndness that
history has for repeating itself may
result In open warfare between the
feudal barons of industry. The
railroad combine is reported 80
have declared war on the steel
and eugar combines, and 1t the
information is correct, these two
latter trusts will be denied the
customary rebates and privileges, by
means OF which their crushing mo-
nopoly is made possible" The TALL
ing out OF these great industrial vul-
lures may afford an opportunity for
honest men to get their dues. ln-
deed, IL there we're more wars OF this
character, the trust question might
be induced TO solve itself, but those
who plume themselves on the hap
pening OF any such contingency as a
war 90 the death between any OF the
great monopolies or trusts, reckon
without their host. They will re-
lenslessly pursue minor competition
wherever 1t crops out, and merciless-
ly crush it wherever and whenever 1t
demonstrates any activity. The
various trusts have in the carrying
out of their nefari0us scheme no
stronger ally Ormore potential friend
than the railroad combine, which
grants TO them certain rebates on
freight shipped over its lines, which
&c denies 10 smaller concerns; but
whenever any controversy arises be-
tween or among any OF these pro-
ducts of high protective tariff, 1t Is
quickly adjusted. 1t is the old story
OF she bully who will attack without
hesitation a weaker adversary, bus
when he meets o foeman worthy oil

THE CROPS OF 1904.

The farmer these days is probably
one Of the happiest men we can ind,
and all agree that be has n right to
be. He has been blessed with she
best season for years and his crops
are good beyond his expectations
All over the country comes the most
cheering reports, except in some To-
calities where there has been too
much rain or IN others where the
wheat was injured by rust or the cot
ton ruined by the boil wevil. And
yet with these set-backs we have not
had such q crop year for many years
in she pact and the farmer has not
worn before for some timesuch pleas
ant smiles. The New York World, in
speaking OF the crops in the various
parts OF the country, says 1t is one OF
the misfortunes OF the Western farmer
that good corn weather may be bad
wheat weather, and yet there is no
remedy for this. The hot weather
that makes corn jump from the
ground, spreads the black rust that
enables the Speculation TO boost Sep
TENDER options on wheat to $l,O7.
The governments crop reports Tor
August l indicate an increase OF
100000, 900 bushels in the corn yield
for the present year az compared
with the last. Estimates for wheat,
however, are 32,000,000 bushels I'M
der the yield for 1903. The World
thinks that translated into the Ian
guage OF the provision market, this
means less white bread, but more
"hOg, hominy and Johnny-cake. q"
Even on the assumption of dollar
wheat and fifty cent corn, the net
gain in the value of the crop over
that OF last year would be many
millions OF dollars. Moreover, the
reports promise an exceptional hay
crop, and this is of hardly less i'm
pOrtance than the corn crop, and
added 20 this is the fine prospects for
oats and other small grain. Alto
gether the farmer who works for all
the crops, and whose prosperity is
shared by all, can not complain OF a
lean year, but on the other hand
may continue to wear his pleasant
smiles.

POLITICAL.

Chairman Cortelyou announced that
President Roosevelt would make no more
political speeches this year.
The Republicans, it Is said, fear the
making of President Rooseyelt's person
atty an Issue In this campaign.
The Democrats base their hope OF car
rying Wisconsin on the bitter factiODal
fight among the Republicans In that
State.
Democrats are preparing to repel the
Republican accusation that the national
candidates are In alliance with Wall
street. The publication OF j. Pierpont
Morgan's decision to support Roosevelt
oy one New York newspaper and the
publication by another New York news
paper OF a poll Of the stock exchange,
showing large proportion OF the mem
bers for Roosevelt, will be used as the
campaign progresses to support the
Democratic claim that Wall street loves
the Republicans, and vice versa.
The Democrats will probably try to
make a great deal out Of Judge Parker's
declaration against a second term for
any President. There is said 20 be poll
tice behind the assertion. As the story
goes, President Roosevelt was urged e.
make some declaration in his speech of
acceptance to indicate that he would not
be a candidate for the nomination 10
1908 should he be elected this fall He
made no definite answer to the Fugges-
ton, and did not touch upon IT Ia his
speech. That left the impression with
some people that the President had ideas
Of his own about the propriety oil his be
coming nominee for what would
practically be q third term, although not
technically in violation OF the old tradi-
ion that two terms are all any man
shall have. In any event, Parker's stand
IN the subject will be used by the spell
binders OF the Democratic party. They
will contrast his attitude with that OF
President Rooss welt, who has been accus-
ed by Democratic organs OF shaping his
administration In recent months TO
strengthen his prospects OF reelection.
