issue. and no confusing Of the line Of
battle. The trust, as an institution,
will have few open defenders. The
policy Of the trust magnates will be
to insist upon reasonable legislation
and then they will rely upon their pow
er to corrupt Legislators and intimi-
date executives to prevent the appli-
cation of any remedies which would
interfere with the trusts. Our motto
must be: "A private monopoly Is in
defensible and intolerable, and our
plan of attack must contemplate the
total and complete overthrow of the
monopoly principle in industry.
1--WE need not quarrel over RENE
dies We must show ourselves willing
to support any remedy which prom
ises substantial advantages to the peo-
pie in their warfare against monopoly
Something is to be expected from the
enforcement Of the criminal clause Of
the Sherman antitrust law, but this
law must be enforced not against a
few trusts. as at present, but against
all trusts, and the aim must be to I'm
prison the guilty, not merely to recov-
er fine What Is a fine of thousand
dollars, or even ten thousand dollars,
to trust which makes a hundred
thousand dollars while the trial is in
progress? If the criminal clause is
not going to be enforced, 1t ought to
be repealed. If Imprisonment is too
severe punishment for the eminently
respectable gentlemen who rob eighty
millions of people Of hundreds Of mil
lions Of dollars annually, the language
of the statute ought to be changed,
| for nothing Is more calculated to breed
anarchy than the failure to enforce
the law against rich criminals while
it Is rigidly enforced against petty Of
tenders.
Tariff Reduction championed.
"The tariff question is very closely
allied to the trust question, and the re.
duction of tariff furnishes an easy
means Of limiting the extortion which
the trusts can practice.
while absolute free trade would
not necessarily make trust impossi
BILE, still it is probable that very few
manufacturing establishments would
dare to enter into a trust If the Presi
dent were empowered to put on the
free list articles competing with those
controlled by trust. While / shall
lake OCCdeiou ~ al early udy W Cou
slider the tariff question more al
length, cannot permit this opportu
nifty to pass without expressing the
opinion that the principle embodied ir
the protective tariff has been the
fruitful source of a great deal of po
litical corruption, as we'll as the sup
port of many of our most ubiquitous
trusts. 1t is difficult to condemn the
manufacturers for uniting to take ad
vantage Of high tariff schedule
when the schedule Is framed on the
theory that the industries need all the
protection given, and it is not likel!
that the beneflciaries of these SEIZED
ules will consent to their reduction, 81
long as the public waits for the tariff
to be reformed by its friends.

CROWDS AT FAIR.
Receipts For 1906 VIII Exceed Any
Other Year.

Des Moines, Aug. 31.-From 10000
to 10000 persons attended the Iowa
State fair on Wednesday. Every day
has been big day Monday and We'd
nesday were unrivaled for the pleasure
to those who saw the fair. 1t is now as
sured that the total attendance and re-
ceipts for the fair Of 1905 will exceed
that Of any other year.
That which distinguishes the fairs OF
today from those of other years quite
as much as anything else is the fact,
made plain every day, that the people
demand not only we'll balanced and
perfect agricultural exposition and q
variety of high class entertainments,
but also the choicest music and high
est priced specialties. This Is what
they are getting. Daily thousands Of
Iowa people crowd around the stands
to listen attentively to the concerts by
the Liberati band-concerts Of strictly
high grade music and which would cost
twice the fair admission at any other
place. Every afternoon and evening.
as we'll as in the morning, the music
has been a great feature.

Greatest AeriaIists, to Be Present.

One of the most interesting fair
events which occur annually in Iowa,
both to the agriculturist and to the
horseman, is the Big -Four fair at Ell
don. For many years these fairs have
been given annually and have attract
ed large crowds from all over this part
CT the state This year the fair will be
held on September 4. 5, 6 and Z.
A new feature which will be added
to the fair this year will be a day 20
day the best program OF the weeks
session will be given and everything
possible will be done to make the
event success.
Trains will leave Ottumwa for Eldon
during the fair and the race meet at
$50 o'clock in the morning and one
O'Clock in the afternoon, thus furnish
ing ample and convenient transporta-
ton facilities for the large crowds Of
Ottumwa people who will in all proba-
bility attend.
| A number of car loads Of stock will
be brought to Eldon direct from the
Iowa State Fair, and the exhibit which
will be made of horses. cattle and hogs
will be one of the finest, If not the fin
est ever seen in this section of the
state.

sent the best racing program Of the en-
tire meet. On this day there will be
the $500 stake for the 2:35 trotters,
and the 2:22 pace. A large field of
horses have been entered for each race

interest. A running race concludes
the days card.
Greatest of Aerialsts.
i The aerialitts, the LIE Gettes, who
are billed as the greatest of their pro
fession living, have been engaged for
the fair, and will give two perform
ances daily. The team is composed OF
!, three members, two women and one
man, and their high trapeze work is
said to be truly wonderful. This exhi
billion, the fair management states, Is
. alone worth the price of admission to
the fair.
The Eldon Big Four event holds the
distinction of offering the largest prem
iums of any district fair in this part Of
the state. AS an exhibition it is very
close to the state fair in many depart
ments. 1t was announced yesterday
: that for the 2:35 trot on Wednesda!
= there are fourteen entries.
The members of the fair association
, are confident from the completeness!
!, and care with which the arrangement:

TOUR OF THE WORLD.
Ten Cents Pays Ones Way From
Coast to Coast.


Fire Chief Hale of Kansas City is
perhaps the most widely known Amer
lean on the European continent Ever
since he entertained Lady Somerset
at his home in Kansas City, several
years ago, he has become celebrity
in Europe. Shortly after that event
he took with him his famous band Of
fire fighters. to show citizens of the
old world how Americans could fight
flames. Numerous contests were ar
ranged in every continental city Wis
tied. with the result that Hale's band
of bronzed and athletic firemen car.
ried off honors with hands down.
While thus engaged, Chief Hale, who
is of singularly inventive turn of
mind, was revolving from mere
misty proposition, the project which
has since made him even still more
widely known. This project was the
construction Of Pullman car which,
while absolutely at rest, would furnish
all the sensations of travel. This he
has accomplished, and his amusement
invention is known as Hale's Tours of
the World.
Two Of these huge Pullman cars,
each weighing in the neighborhood Of
1000 pounds, will be seen in Parker's
White City, at the summer jubilee CIV
en- in Ottumwa from September 10 to
IL.
The visitor, on boarding these cars.
will be accosted by polite and gen.
ial conductor, and his convenience
and comfort will be attended to by an
equally polite porter 1t will be an
nounced before the journey is begun,
| just what part of the world will be
visited. These trips vary, not only
every day, but at every hour of the
day. One can board the car and take
York, viewing all the cities along the
way, just as they actually are, and
noting all of the objects Of interest
which flash past him as he travels 60
miles an hour. One day he will be
taken through Old Ireland, from Dub
lin to the pretty city of Cork, show
Ing the sublime and sylvan beauties
of the Emerald Isle, along that famous
route. Another day he will be taken
through the Swiss Alps, and actually
shivers with the sensation of cold as
he passes within close sight, the mon
ster glaciers that are seen on the stu
pendous slopes. Next day he will be
delighted by a trip through northern
France, from Boulogne to Paris, or
:, possibly he may take jaunt across
the steppes of Siberia, on the great ST
; berian railroad.
Visitors need not touch their poke
books with anxious grasp in view o
the expense attending these old worlt
trips. While they have all the pleas
ure and instruction of the real jour
ney, they can make any of these a
the small outlay Of ten cents. VIII
can afford to miss these journeys a
such low excursion rate? &c
, aboard!
