FEEDING PEARLS To SWINE

Under the above heading the Wash
ington Post of last Wednesday con-
tanned an editorial on the democrac,
of the south which we give below
and which we think is worthy OF care
full consideration OF the persons chief
ly concerned, the democrats of the
southern states. We believe The Post
Is correct in its statement that the
democratic party is confronted with a
broken democratic south" With SIr.
Bryan as the nominee of the democrat
ic party in 1908 We do not believe our
party will carry a single northern
state nor all Of those Of the south.
1t could not do worse by nominating I
southern man Of the stamp of SIR. Cul-
bersoo, Of Texas, or MIR. Williams. of
Mississippi, and If defeated with such
a man as its standard bearer 1t wJuld
go down fighting for the true pr;nCl-
Piles OF the party, while Mr.. Bryan
as its candidate would not represent
what the men in the party of the
present democratic states consider true
democratic principles. The Post ed1-
torial shows what fearful losses he
democratic party has suffered since it
wont 0r.ar fn prxrnn;c-o 49, $500
can point to any indications that
losses will not continue so lone as
the party stands by Bryan and his TO
litical tenets.
The Post says.
Some days ago there was a meeting
OF southern democrats at ~Shelbvville.
Tenn. to hold an inquest on the polit-
zeal situation. Mr.. Richard H. Yancey
IN a carefully considered article. gives
a history of the gathering and dis
cusses the possibility of a southern
candidate in a paper that would get
wide attention if the democratic
party could hin logically for over
five minutes on any public question.
But the south that defied and de-
stroyed Douglas has produced a gen.
Grafton that knows not Joseph. There
is no democrat at the south who
would dare contest the nomination
with Mr.. Bryan-not one. He has
them completely subdued-the sue
cessors Of Mason and Davis, Toombs
and Wigfa1l.
A failure, the most stupendous and
disastrous Of all our public men, with
out exception, Mr.. Bryan is as COM
plete master Of the democratic situa-
ton as General Jackson was three
quarters of a century ago. When he
supplanted Grover Cleveland as
leader. both houses of congress were
democratic; Connecticut, New Ham
shire and Rhode Island we're demo-
cratic; New York, New Jersey, In
diana, Illinois and Wisconsin were
democratic, and Ohio doubtful. Both
senators from New York were demo-
Gratis, as were those from New Jer-
sey, Indiana, and Wisconsin, and
there was one democratic senator
from Ohio, and another from Illinois.
Since the ideas for which Mr..
Bryan stands took possession of the
democratic party it has not achieved
a single national victory, and it is con-
fronted with a solid republican north
and a broken democratic south.
But Mr.. Bryan is a master, and Mr..
Yancey is only feeding swine with
pearls.

THE TRUST IN oE RMANY.
Is Called the kartel and Limits Pro-
duction.

The American peril for the German
is best represented by our trust, and
Germany is discussing means for
TRANSFORMING her kartclls, or pooled
industries, into economic fighting ma
chimes represented by our perfected
mergers.
The kartoll does two things: II ad
justs production and consumption and
regulates prices in proportion to cost.
thereby placing the industries on a
irmer basis. and assuring to the
workngmCn steady romunerativo
work; and. secondly, IL allows indus
tries TO peaceably divide the foreign
markets.
II represents combination of en-
terpriscs of the same industry that
forms agreements as To price, mar
kets, output, etc, being, therefore not
a concentration, but coalition of In
dustries The fundamental difference
between the German kartell and the
American Trust lies in the fact that
the trust manages and directs all It's
factories and plants from one central
place, while the establishments form
ing the kartell are bound by agree
ment TO observe a certain standard
only I'm regard to some branches OF
their enterprise, otherwise carrying on
their work independently.
The kartcll is at a disadvantage In
the fight with the trusts because II
does not, like the trust, oonduce ia
the cheapcning Of goods or to the en-
largemcnt of markets, but tends "a
restrict output and keep up prices,
with the view Of beftting manufac-
turers rather than the public. The
result is that the standard Of produc'
tion does not rise.
Under the kartcll wages have n
tendency TO drop, and employees are
thrown periodically out Of work when
the plants shut down I'm dull times Ia
stop ovor-production.
The great advantage Of the trust
over the kartcll Is that II diffuses It's
stock among the public, and corpora
tions have encouraged employees Ia
buy their stock.-Philadclp Rec
