four years. Not because Of the tariff

Coal trust, which no tariff could shell
ter II the wall Of protection were for
ty leagues high, for the reason that
there Is no other coal anywhere in
the world to sell in this country with
the product of the American anthra-
cite fields. Yet who will say that any
where else in the United States there
are two trusts to match both the alb
solute monopoly privileges and the
enormous profits Of those two trusts?
Because of the tariff this country
has prospered; unquestionably. The
trust which had genuine value and
reasonable opportunity took it's share
of the added prosperity, just as the
non-trust industry did, as the wage
Garner, the shop-keeper the farmer
did. The trust which sought to make
something out of nothing, whether be.
cause of or under the tariff, failed as
any individual would have failed, no
more and no less. The interests
which were not trusts, whenever they
had anything of real value, prospered
under the tariff prodigiously, and they
are prospecting to-day. There is no
other prosperity anywhere in this
country, there is none in the world,
like the prosperity Of the American
farmer. There is no agricultural
trust.
In England, where there is no tariff,
trusts fare exactly as they fare in this
country, where there is a tariff. Gain
ing a monopoly of a rich field, by
agreement among competitors or by
discriminating competitors who will
not combine, they wax fat and OPP

NIT an economic folly, they go to
smash, so far as any inequalities of
advantages are concerned, tariff or no

the richest and most INSCRIPTIONS of
all the trusts in existence is the Sugar
trust, which is managing Judge Park
er's New York campaign, with Mr..
Cord Meyer, Jr., one OF its factors,
chairman OF the Democratic State
Committee, and Senator McCarren,
it's legislative agent, chairman of the
Executive Committee. This trust
overhows with riches because it alb
solutely controls the cane sugar re-
aiming industry here and the cane sug-

Allison Tells of Chances.

Imagine Senator Allison, many
years chairman OF the influential
committee on appropriations, in long
struggle to secure the appointment
of a skilled laborer to help him in his
duties around the capitol! Then you

his colleagues.
During debate regarding the extern

son became reminiscent about the

ness that senators must attend to.
He said that when he first came to
the senate, thirty years ago, senators
had no clerks or others to help them.
Several years passed." said Mr..
Allison gravely, "and still had no
assistant. Finally succeeded in Sc.

a skilled laborer who helped me in

on raw sugar from Cuba? Because

material, which It absolutely controls,

issues the desperate Democracy will
force to the front in their effort to dis
place and to repudiate those which
they declared to be Of paramount i'm

But so far as the tariff is concerned
Republicans need have no fear. II
the tariff is to be trumps in the COM

suit, and we may safely count on both
points and honors, when the score is
