remedy against these so-called trusts
lies in the Sherman anti trust law,

Governments action against the

der that law the Coal Trust, which
has been so burdensome the past

other combinations in restraint Of

prisonment that will count. We re-

No, no, Mr.. Blade the Republi-
cans have not repudiated reciprocity
or any part of in. They are still in
favor of a protective tariff and of
reciprocity, but not of the Demo
cratic kind of reciprocity which
practically means free trade. They
are in favor of the genuine recipro-
city of Blaine and Mckinley. The
kind of reciprocity that grants con-
cessions to foreign articles that do
not compete with American pro-
ducts and American labor, but un-
alterably opposed to that kind of
reciprocity, as advocated by our
Democratic friends that would des-

THE WRONG REMEDY
Tariff Need Not Be Tinkered to
Reach the Trusts

People who want to revise tie
Tariff in order to better conditions
in the country are simply striving 10
tear down the institution that has
built up the great industries of this
country. With our great prosperity
have grown up evils, and naturally
people associate these evils with the
policy that produced the prosperous
institutions. But they do not real
ize that if they weaken the power
that indirectly brought about the
evils they complain of they may
partially destroy the good things as
we'll as the Objectionable ones. In
stead of destroying the law which
has aided in the development of
our industries it would be much
wiser to devise means to lessen the
evils that always grow up about any
system. Probably the greatest com
bination in the country is that of the
railroads. Now, if a few men own
the stock of two competing railways,
there is no law at present, or fairly
possible to be made in future, to
prevent those men from using those
roads as they please. There is just
one power at present that is imme-
diately available, and that is the
State Railroad commission. 1t is
immediately at hand and should be
used instead of looking away off at
some chimerical scheme with the
hope of correcting evils or-of pos
sibly riding into Office. The Beef
Trust, the Coal Trust, the Harves-
ter Trust, the Oil Trust the Twlne
Trust, the Street Railway Trust, and
a number of other so.calIed trusts
that people complain Of, are Great
+ures of the Tariff only as they have
thrived IN consequence of the de-
velopment Of the country under Il e

Some of the Free-Traders are
now claiming that the Tariff cuts
down the profits of manufacturers.
This is an interesting flop. Hereto
fore Protection has been denounced
as partnership" between the
Government and the manufacturers
whereby the latter's profits were
swelled. The Free-Traders should
find out where they are at Ro-
chester democrat and Chonicle."

of the war with Spain, and at the
same time keep down the national
debt. On June 80, 1903. the close
of the last fical year, the net amount
of the national debt was So25, 900,
ooo-a debt smaller than that eX'
1;ting at the end of the second
Cleveland administration.
There is not nation on the globe
that does not view this showing
with pangs of jealousy. Great
Britain would willingly barter her
birthright, fguratively speaking, to
be able to make similar showing.
Germany, France and Austria
Hungary stand astounded at the vast
results that have been achieved by
the United States under half a dec
ade of "Dingleyism." Why is it
in our own country alone that per
sons can be found who cannot APP
preciate what has been accomplish
ed under the present Tariff? The
only apparent explanation is that
there is lesion somewhere in their
mental makeup. Fortunately, these
persons constitute only small mi
nority of the American electorate.

WHY NOT STAND PAT2
For What Reason Should There
be any Tamperlng with the
Present Tariff

Why should there be any tamper-
ing with the present Tariff, as Free
Traders are proposing that there
should? 1t is working satSfactor'
lily. All the strenuous efforts that
have been made to create opposl-
ton to it in ProtectioniSt ranks
have ended in failure. 1t is giving
American labor and American
capital the degree of Protection that
it was designed to give; it is yielding
the Government sufficient revenue;
the business of the country is ad-
iusted to it, and under it our for
eign trade is making progress I'M
exampled in the history of the re-
public. Why upset these conditions
in order to experiment with some
thing unknown?
DO the opponents or the Dlngley
law fully realize what has been &C
complished under it and by it since
it went into effect? Since 1897 our
manufactured exports have jumped
from $a77,oo 900 to S4oS, 900, 900
for the fiscal year of 1903; ouI
agricultural exports from 1904, ooo,-
900 to 1913, 900, 900, and our total
exports from $1,000, 900, 900 10
SI,425, 900, 900. Our imports, in
the same period, have grown from
$765, 900, 900 to SI,o75 900, 600
pretty effectual evidence that the
preset Tariff is not shutting out
foreign commodities to any alarm
Ing extent-while our total foreign
trade has increased from $I,8I5,-
900, 900, to nearly 81, 500, 900, 900.
Our exports to every quarter of the
globe. in this interval, shave grown
amazingly-to Europe SO per cent,
to North America IS per cent, to
South America 80 per cent to Asia
and Oceanica 50 per cent, to Africa
and other countries 1870 per cent.
Since 1898 there has not been a
year that the Dingley law has not
produced ample revenue. In 1900
it yielded surplus of $50, 900, 900,
in 1901 surplus of 78, 900, 900, in
1902 surplus of SOL, 200, 900, in
1908 surplus of $54, 900, 900 and
it promises to yield comfortable sur
plus during its existence revenue that
this law has produced. We have been
enabled not only to pay the ordi
nary expenses of Government, but to
maintain a big gold reserve-a
thing absolutely indispensable to the
of the integrity of our
enormous paper and silver circula
ton; to put the new republic of
Cuba on its feet; to restore peace in
the Philippines; to build up our
navy; to buy out the old Panama
Canal Company; to defray the cost

The War.

The Japs seem to be crowding
the Russians on land almost as
much as sea. The Russians seem
to have deserted strongly fortified
points where they were expected to
make heroic stands. They seem to
be retreating before the victorious
laps in many cases in disorder.
The Japs are landing troops
unmolested and seem to outnumber
the the Russians whenever they
meet. The Japs now claim that
their efforts to block up the passage
to the inner harbor at Port Arthur
were successful and that nothing
but small craft can pass. This may
or may not be true. However the
Russian vessels have not shown
much disposition to pass out of late.
1t seems safer inside. The Japs now
have Port Arthur cut off by both
land and sea. They may not be
able to take it without a great sac
rife of life as it is very strongly
fortified and defeneed by a strong
force. Eventually, though, it must
fall unless relieved by superior
force

Fight the Pipe Line.

The people seem to be getting
walked up on the gas piping PROPOSE
ton and well they may. Whenever
gas line is once established from
this locality we can say farewell to
all our bright dreams of future
greatness from large manufacturing
interests.
Property will depreciate, enter
prises will stop, and labor will be
unemployed.
We are convinced that this thing
can be stopped by proper and de-
termined effort. Public sentiment
will be with the people of this To-
cality in the fight against this octo
pus that surely will drain the com
mercial life blood from the gas
fields, once its tentacles are spread
over the field.
The first fight should be a deter
mined one to hold up the charter.
Should that fail, a united effort
by the County Commissioners and
land owners against right way
must be very effective.
The thing must be held up till the
next legislature meets, by some
means, and then the wise men Ct
the state can surely devise some law
that will protect this part of the
state in the free enjoyment of its
natural rights.
Talk and newspaper gush will not
do the work. 1t is organized and
systematic work that must be resort
ed to. We hope everybody is wide
awake to the great injustice and
grave injury that will be wrought in
the gas territory, should this pro-
posed line become reality.
