Trusts Not a Result Of tho Tariff.

From the American Iron and steel Bullo-
tin.
Protection has not established IN this
country any manufacturing or other mo-
nopoly. The express and telegraph COM
panies. the sleeping car companies, the
railroad companies themselves, including
the electric and street car companies. the
gas ind electric light companies in towns
and cities. and every other aggregation
OF capital % which exclusive privileges
are granted or secured by legislation. are
in their very nature monopolles, but none
of these we have specifically mentioned
are in any way protected by tariff duties.
The only manufacturing monopoly IN the
supply Of American markets that we have
ever known 20 be properly chargeable TO
our tariff legislation was the Welsh tin
plate monopoly, now happily ended, which
for decade after decade absolutely con-
trolled the supply Qf tin plates TO the peo-
pie OF our country and the prices at
which they were sold, but that was a
foreign monopoly and not creation Of
our protective policy. For years and
years our tariff legislation fostered this
foreign monopoly by means Of low duties.
II was always defended by American free
traders. It was the protective tarin Of
1890 which brought IL to an end.

EDITORIAL OPINION
The PhlIlppInes.

From the New York sun.
MI Fairbanks begins by denying that
his party's administration of the Phil
ippines has been subversive OF our ma
uonal Ideals. lie asserts that, on the
contrary, II has been In conformity
with the best traditions OF the republic.
because II has been dictated by "a re-
cognition OF public duty and by mo-
tives not jot less lofty and dislnter-
ested than those which caused the de-
liverance OF Cuba from the oppressive
yoke Of Spain. II is pointed out that
the Philippine archipelago came TO the
United states as the result Of a war.
and from that moment our Federal gov
ernment became bound to enforce laws
there as elsewhere, to uphold the ma
tional sovereignty, to maintain order
and to restore peace. The purpose with
which we assumed control of the Phil
ippines is accurately stated In words
uttered by President Mckinley and re-
produced by Mr.. Fairbanks. 1--WE shall
continue" he says, las We have begun.
to open the schools and the churches,
to set the courts in operation, 70 foster
industry and domestic trade and COM
merce, and In every way in our power
to make these people whom Providence
has brought within our jurisdiction
feel that il is their liberty and not
our power. their welfare and not our
gain. that we are seeking to enhance.
Mr.. Mckinley added that "our nag has
never waved over any community bui
In blessing" and ne expressed the be-
lief that the Filipinos would soon re-
cognize the fact that the nag has not
lost its gift Of benediction in its world
wide journey to their shores"

THE DRY WEATHER
PRE- VENTED FLOWING
ON EASTERN SHORE
AS A CONSEQUENCE LITTLE WHEAT HAS
BEEN SOWN OVER IN THE SOUTHERN
PART OF THE PENINS ULA-PEARS AND
GRAPES YIELDING WELL

Dorchcster county the acreage in wheat
will likely be larger than usual. Oats
thrashed IN Garrett county during the
week gave heavy yields. The buckwheat
cut seems to be very well filled. The work
of cutting corn and hlling silos was one OF
the pressing occupations of the week, the
corn being badly lodged and the work Of
cutting consequently more tedious and
arduous than usual. In many cases the
blades we're blackened by the frost and
the fodder thus considerably damaged.
The grain is quite good In the northern
half Of the section generally; but over
much of the southern half the yields have
been greatly reduced BY the drouth and
will be only fair to poor. Husking has
begun in some southern districts but very
little fodder has been housed. Pastures
have revived in all sections except por-
tions Of Garrett county, where they are
dry. The crop Of hay secured from millet
and COW peas in southern districts was
short
Apples are reported fairly abundant in
Garrett and portions Of Hartford and ce-
Gil counties. and picking has begun. The
peach crop is about all gathered. after an
unsatisfactory season. Pears and grapes
are yielding well.
Minor Crops.
BY far the greater part of the tobacco
crop has been gathered, though much re-
mains TO be cut in Prince George county.
The recent rains did not come in time 10
benefit the late crop materially and It
will be below normal. Outstanding fields
in lowlands were much injured by the
frost ON the 22nd and 23rd. Curing and
yellowing Of the crop In barns is salts
factory. Sweet corn was almost all saved.
and the packing season is about over, the
returns being the best for number OF
years. Tomato vines were blackoned and
IN many cases killed by the frost and the
Yields cut short. In Carroll and Hartford
counties the pack was large. but was not
satisfactory generally, loss from rot being
heavy. Small quantities OF tomatoes were
stil going to the canneries at the end
Of the week. Sweet potatoes will be a
fair CROP but many vines were biighted
and fun development prevented by the
freezing weather. Lima beans are abun-
daht, late cabbage is generally poor. A
good crop Of chestnuts is being gathered
in Garrett county

Indianapolis, Ind, June 21-The ma
honal prohibition convention will meet
in Tomlinson hall with National Chair
man Stewart presiding, Tuesday. State
Chairman Newlin, who has had charge
Of the arrangements, says II will be
the most enthusiastic national gather
ing the party has ever had The tenn
porary and permanent chairmen will
not be selected until Tuesday even
ing. The nominations for. president
and vice president will not be made
until Thursday afternoon. It Is still
an open question whether Gen. Nelson
A. Miles will accept the nomination for
the presidency. He has left for an I'M
known resort without leaving any def
mite statement behind.
There is faction Of powerful tenn
perance advocates who believe that
Gen. Miles should be nominated by
the convention, even II he be not heard
from before the meeting. Others favor
the postponement Of the convention
until that of the democrats so that the
platform and the candidates nominated
in st. Louis can be inspected before the
prohibitionists get to work. In addi-
ton to these there will probably be a
strong coterie Of western temperance

HURtS PHILIPPICS AT RUSSIA.
Count Tolstoi IL Bitter Against His
Government and the Greek
Orthodox Church.

London, June 27.-The Times prints
ten-column dissertation on the Rus
so-Japanese war written by Count Toll
stoi In his most violent style. The
trend Of this remarkable document Is,
first, against all war, but IL is principal
ly thunderous philippe against the
Russian government and the Russian
orthodox church and generally against
the existing order Of things. Tolstoi
says that the reservists throughout
Russia are dissatisfied, gloomy and
exasperated and the old appeal for
faith, king and fatherland has lost its
spell over the Russian Masses"
The ten columns breathe gloomy
forebodings and preach revolution.
Tolstoi holds the emperor up to con-
tempt as an unfortunate and en-
tangled young man, recognized as the
leader of 130,000,000 people, continu-
ally deceived and compelled to con-
tradict himself"

(Who Seconded Roosevelt's Nomination.
for days, the announcement of thu
choice was accompanied by resound
ing demonstration. The cheering was
led by figures known through the
breadth OF the land and echoed by q
mighty throng Of enthusiastic men
and radiant women assembled in the
Coliseum to witness the browning fea-
ture as well as the close OF the ma
tional convention that marks the semi
centennial of the republican party In
the United States. No less than 10000
men and women participated in the
ratification of the party programme
and the consequent roar Of cheering
and handclapping was deafening. The
band stationed high among the girders
Of the hall was drowned by the tu-
multuous unbounded demonstration.
Hats we're tossed In the air, state en-
blems were waved and flags, beautiful
tri-colored shimmering silken flags
fluttered from every hand as though

The New York delegates paraded the

voices. Other delegations Joined the
procession and the well-ordered body

mass, every semblance Of organization
gone.
While the demonstration was at its
height Chairman Cannon stepped to
the front Of the stage. He held in his
hand the banner which was waved in
1860 when Lincoln was nominated and
which has been used in every conven-
lion since. The flag showed the wear
