Parker md the Trust..

Trust magnates having furnished the
funds to carry on Parker's campaign,
will now be relegated to the rear. How
ever, Cord Meyer of the sugar trust and
other representatives of grasping corpo-
rations have such hold on the Demo-
cratic candidate that they will continue
to control him. Their relegation to the
rear is merely blind" to deceive the
people. When Parker visited New York
he told his managers he did not wish
his remarks on the trusts "queered," and
that during the remainder of the cam
paign the magnates who have been pa
rading and jubilnting over his nomina-
ton should be less open in their demon
strations OF joy. He further said he
could not get close to the people as long
as the trust magnates openly shouted for
him. What the judge meant was that
his wealthy sponsors should keep dark
until after election, when they could
come to the front again.

Some of the landmarks of historic
legislation created during President
Rooseveh's administration are: Q) The
law for the civil government of the Phil
ippines; (2). Corporate legislation. chief
of which is that creating the Department
of Commerce and Labor, with broad
powers, which, in the nature of things,
must steadily grow; (3). Cuban reciproc-
ity. comforting material benefits on both
Cuba and the United States; az, The
treaty and laws that make the Panama
canal certainty: 90, The law for the
irrigation of the arid lands of the great
West.
Against these accomplished results dur.
ing one administration of the party that
does things, the Democratic party has
nothing to offer but empty words and
high-sounding promises.

Mr.. FAIRBANKS'S LETTER.
Renuhlicnn RrinC nl.s,

| A CIenr and Effective statement of
| Republican Principles.
Senator Fairbanks's letter of accept
ance is document which appeals direct
| ly to the business men and workers gem
orally. 1t states clearly some OF the most
| important but perhaps not sufficiently
understood, tcnets of the Republican
party in its conflict with Democracy.
In calling attention to the service done
| to the entire country by the establish
ment of the Bureau OF Commerce and
Labor. with a special department to deal
| with corporations, the Senator points out
| the first real attempt by the government
to deal with the trust problem. He clear
| ly sees that the regulation of the great
| combinations of capital by law is pos
| sble, is necessary, and he shows the
consistent course of the Republican party
| in this regard
AS to our foreign policy Senator Fair
| banks rightly considers that we have
| much to be proud of in the firm, conser-
vative and thoroughly broad and Chris
tan policy which has been adhered to
| during the years of Republican admins
tration. The tremendous expansion in
our trade, our foreign interests and in-
! iluence has been accomplished by peace
| full methods, and no remote sign of war
| has appeared upon our horizon in the
| years following the establishment of new
National relations or our acquisition of
| vast territory in the far East.
| In his cnunciation Of the Republican
idea of the desirability OF closer trade
relations with our great neighbor. Can
ada. the candidate for the Vice Presi-
dency is peculiarly happy. He is plainly
| for liberal movement for reciprocity
between this country and the people just
over the line to the north. He also
| emphasizes the value of the open door
secured for us in China. and promises
continuance of the benefits of that re-
| suit of our recent foreign policy.
As a whole, the letter of the Vice Pres
idential candidate is strong paper. one
which commands respect and confidence.
| Senator Fairbanks is meeting the Ameri-
| can people face to face. from end
of the country to the other. in his very
lively campaign. 1t is we'll however, to
have in hand his written opinions and
aspirations as public man on the great
questions at issue at this moment.

Tho Little Japanese.

Once I knew Japanese,
with n little blue chemise,
Socks and sandals and u pretty paper
fan,
Lady foot and dandy hand,
Microscopicaliy planned:
And he didn't seem at all a 6ShtinS
man.
He was neat and he was clean.
Most delightful to be seen;
He was spotless, he was spic and he
was span;
He was sugar, he was spice.
Happy tempered to a vice;
And he didn't seem at all n fighting
man.
He would greet you with smile
That would carry half mile.
Sweet as summer. and expansive IN sts
PLAN
He would nod his beaming nol.
Like n polished little doll;
And he didn't seem at all a iishtias
man
Which is why I'd give lot,
Could l camp upon the spot.
Where he's winning bloody laurck fer
Japan,
Just to watch him wadins In.
With that smile above his chin:
For he didn't seem at all Il hsk2aS

AssAILING THE TARIFF.
DeM ocrats Seem Determined to Force
DIsturbinY Iaaae.

Signs increase that the Democratic
leaders are determined to force the tariff
| issue to the front in the presidential cam
paign While Republicans will welcome
the discussion of this question, well
knowing that it is sure to add many
thousands of votes TO their majorites,
they cannot but regret the selection of
the tariff as the main issue. because of
the unfortunate influence it will have up
/ on the business interests OF the country.
| So far this year the presidential cam
| paign has not blocked business and finan-
! cial activity. Affairs proceed as usual.
In all lines of business there is hope
fulness and confidence which is most en-
couraging. But il the country is to be
| confronted with another visitation of tar
| iff revision agitation. with even n re-
mote chance of success in the election.
there is bound to be n great slump in
the Industrial world and a corresponding
depression in all business interests.
| 1t is well remembered what happened
ten years ago, when, as President Roose-
welt puts it, 1.-The last attempt was made
by means of lowering the tariff to pre-
vent some people from prospering too
much. The attempt was entirely sue
cessful. The tariff law of that year was
among the causes which in that year
| ana IOE SOule Time aller"aruS eheCluuliS
prevented anybody from prospering too
much, and labor from prospering at all.
Undoubtedly it would be possible at the
present time to prevent any of the trusts
from remaining prosperous by the simple
expedient of making such n sweeping
change in the tariff to paralyze the
industries of the country"
The people of the United States will
not soon court again the destruction and
panic of 1898. Once is enough for one
generation. There will be a tremendous
vote against tariff legislation by the
Democrats.
The confidence OF the country may
stand even throughout a tariff revision
campaign. but it is risliing good deal
to raise that issue in the manner CON
templated. They, however, have every
thing to gain and nothing to lose. They
have got to have something to stand
upon, and complete failure in every other
attack made upon the Republican posi-
ton has driven them upon the tariff ms
standing outpost of Republicanism
which can always be assailed. when
nothing else affords convenient target.

CHIMNEY SCOT OF VALUE.
One Of the Richest Fertilizers Known
Kills Insects.

MAS inScCtS.
Chimney SCOT, says the American
Fertilizer, is one of the richest fer
tilizers known. That from coal Is
very rich in ammonia. When coal is
burned, ammonia is set free, and dur
ing the various changes which take
place during the process sulphite and
carbonate of ammonia are both
formed.
SCOT is highly compound sub
stance, containing in its composition
not only ammonia. but lime. sulphuric
acid, nitric acid, acetic acid. chlorine
and iron, nearly all of which are val
liable, directly or indirectly. The value
of SCOT is we'll known in England.
where 1t sells for about G10 ton.
or about $4S. 1t is often thrown away
as worthless by those who do not
know its value, but careful farmers
should save every ounce for use.
Sprinkled around some kind of plants.
it often prevents attacks from insects.
and the rains then carry 1t down into
the earth. where 1t does duty as
fertilizer Scot from coal has been
once thought to be a very worthless
substance, but experience and science
have taught us to know better.

your beautiful girls and young women
on the streets of evenings, when they
appear without any sort of head oo<-

don. ITO my mind this is one of the
neatest, most picturesque and fasci-
mating customs that ever the fair sex
adopted, and it seems to have reached
the acme of its development right
here in your capital. In their spotless
white garments and without hats or
bonnets, the quintessence of feminine
charm is revealed. Though I have

ing Liberal Contributions.
The trusts long ago recognized Prcsi-
dent Roosevelt as dangerous foe to lille
gal monopolies. Ii the money power of
the United States could have defeated
Roosevelt's nomination at the Chicago
convention it would have hastened to do
so. 1t saw, in time, that the people had
set their hearts upon Roosevelt's candi-
dacy, and, leaving the Republicans out of
the case, they turned to the Democrats

ates questionable behavior, procrasti-
mates decisive action. and leans to prece-
dent SO strongly as TO balk advance-the
very man for the giant trusts to play
with.
When Judge Parkers speech of accept
ance was read, his remarks upon the
trusts were anxiously scaned by the peo-
pie. disappointment came to those who
were not already awake TO the actual ma
ture of David Bennett Hills manipula-
tions in connection with the nomination
of Parker.
wait till we see where the trusts put
their money" said one wavering Inde-
pendent, not yet willing to give up the
hope of a Democratic fight upon illegal
trusts.
There was not long to wait. 1t is a
matter of public knowledge that the
great trusts are pouring money into the
Democratic campaign treasury. The to-
bacco trust. the sugar trust, the oil trust
the New York transportation trust, all
are known to have contributed liberally
TO Belmont's treasure chest These COM
binations of capital well know how and
when to be liberal. They see in the
election of Parker their only protection
against straightforward, courageous
chief executive who will enforce the
United States laws for the control of
combinations of capital and illegal mo-
nopolies.
The trusts do not want Roosevelt for
President. The great combinations Of
capital have delicate susceptibilities when
it comes to their immediate or remote
prospects for gain. But money cannot
carry the presidential election. The GER
tainty that the trusts are working for
Parker will only send hundreds of thou
sands of voters to the polls to cast their
ballots for Roosevelt. Their own en-
poyes will vote against the candidate of
the trusts. Judge Parker's shuffling SEN
tences about nonexistent common
law" and its possible dealings with the
trusts gave the American people their
first "jar" as to the position of the Dem
ocratic nominee on this question. The
heavy contributions of the trusts to the
Parker campaign fund have completed
| the awakening as to the attitude of the
great combinations and monopolies in
this presidential election
