CHEAPER PRICES FOR THE FOR.
EIGNERs


The Standard Oil Company is not the
only concern that sells its products in
Europe at cheaper prices than they are
sold for in this country, although the
excuse for other shippers to Europe
does not obtain in the case of Standard
Oil. The steel trust, when it has a
surplus stock on hand. sends it to Eu-
rope for sale at prices much lower tina
in the United States, so as to meet
European competition. By that means
the plants are kept running and labor
is kept employed. This is policy, not
philanthropy. The steel trust has
thousands of trained employees and it
cannot afford to see them dismissed, to
scatter throughout the land. Nor
would it be economy to close down the
big plants.
Sewing machines made in Elizabeth
can be purchased cheaper in London or
Edinburgh than in Newark. So also
with tinware manufactured in Newark,
and many other articles of export. In
some of these export prices the Euro
pean simply gets the benefit of the
tariff rebate on goods manufactured
for the foreign market. The tariff it.
self encourages The practise Of selling
American goods in Europe cheaper
than they are sold in the United States.

Matrimonial disaster.

unspeakable wrecked his chances forever
One morning Smith discovered that the
next day was her birthday. and informed
her POLITICALLY that on the morrow he
would send her a bouquet of roses, one
rose for each year. That night he wrote
a note to his florist ordering the immediate
delivery of twenty roses to the young
lady. The florist read the order ana

by improving on it, SO he said to his CLERK:
Heres an order from young Smith for

best customers lately. Put in ten more

A slow Train.

1 happened recently to be travelling on a
local train which was a marvel OF Slow
ness. The engine wheezed and puffed and
pulled. but evidently the load was too
much for it and the delays were very
numerous. The passengers were not In
the best of humor. and the conductor
came in for a great deal of harsh criticism
One man on the train. a drummer, was
especially Indignant, and tainted and
iibed the conductor unmercifully.
"This blankety. blank, blank train Is just
about the limit. Why. it couldn't beai
molasses in winter" etc. etc.
Finally the conductors patience became
exhausted.
Say" he said TO the drummer, IF you
don't like this train. why don't you get
out and waikiki"
IT would responded the drummer, "only
my wife don't expect me until the train
gets in."-Judge's Library.

RockefeIler nnd nero.

Nero fddled while Rome was burning, q
sublime exhibition of Indifference to the
fate of the seat of his empire that has
never, 1t is supposed. been paralleled. But
John D. Rockefeller on Saturday displayed
as much Indifference when, Upon hearing
of the 500, 900. 900 fine imposed on his COM
pany, he put the dispatch, in his pocket,
sized up the distance to 1.-THE mark and

rhe relegranh Strike.

The complete stoppage of all telegraph
service is almost unthinkable In these days
of familiar use Of the wires by all classes
of people and for all purposes. The ex-
IRENE inconvenience of the cessation of
the means of electric communication is
clearly demonstrated in the case of a Sc
we're storm which breaks wires or poles.
Heretofore this has happened only within
restricted areas, affecting circumscribed
localities. Accustomed as the country is
in this day to the almost instantaneous
transmission of intelligence over long dis
tances, adjusted as are the commercial
interests to that method, people of The
United States are not likely to endure long
with patience a general stoppage of the
service. whatever the occasion or wherever
the fault may lie.-Washington Star.

If the latest British Dreadnought is Of

the question arises, in what British ports
will such a monster float? An armorclad
so per cent. larger than the present Dread
nought could scarcely draw less than

is not greater than the draught of the

Noises in Newark.

To the Editor of the Evening Star:
1t does appear, indeed, strange that thu
police authorities of Newark do not take
some stringent action prohibiting the
odious noises made upon the streets by the
miscreant gamins, both boys and girls,
who seem to vie with each other in their
iendish and appalling inventions from
mouth and throat TO ahiict the community.
1t should be put an imperative stop to,
without delay, as it is an infraction of the
law and disturbs the peace of very many
suffering invalids, both in private resi-
dences and our hospitals. The Board of
Police Commissioners should give this i'm
portant matter their immediate personal
attention and instruct their officers to ar
rest every boy and girl making these un-
earthly noises which are 80 ~distracting. It
would be a timely suggestion to the
parents of these neglected street children
to admonish them for making these
hideous ,screeching, howlings and un-
natural, shrill whistling.

The money market conditions favor such a conspiracy. Gil

so forth, have caused a stnngency. There is a shortage OF
ready money. To accentuate these conditions and work up a
scary feeling is no difficult task for men with the resources
which are at the command of the panic-makers. If they sue
coed much further banks will call in their loans and refuse the
ordinary accommodations necessary to keep business going in the
regular way, and that is what brings on a real panic.

Now we know exactly what Rockefeller, Hartman, Rogers,
Stnlman, Schif and the others propose to do by way of retail
iahon. We can see their plan in its initial stages of operation.
They are serving plain warning n US. They do not intend to
be interfered with in their illegitimate money-making schemes,
and if we encourage the Government to persist in this inter
ference they will spike the wheels of our industries and create
an upheaval that will unsetle the whole country. Law, and
the enforcement of law, is not for them. They are too big,
too powerful, too respectable for that. The mere fact that they
do an act sanctfes it. They are above the law and immune
from its operation. That was recognized for years, and during
the period of its recognition the country prcspered greatly. Why
expect them now to surrender their privileges without a struggle ?

The great mass of the people are emphatic in demanding
the enforcement of the laws by the Federal government That
policy has come to stay. Wisdom, to say nothing of personal
comfort, dictates acquiescence in it. There is no disposition to
be unfair or unreasonable, but simply an insistnent on the bed

we wish to embarrass " cripple the actions or energies OF
Legitimate business endeavor. If any law, or section thereof,
bears heavily upon any individual or corporation striving honestly

Edward H. Hartman will undoubtedly indorse with fervor
that program. No wonder. The government is poking its
nose into Mr.. Hariman'S business. 1t wants to know if he
has been robbing the stockholders of the railroads manipulated
lby him and whether the excessive rates charged for passenger
and freight service are due to these robbeies. The Federal
Courts insist that he shall tell the Interstate Commerce Com
mission about stocks sold by him and others to the Union
Pacific Railroad which he controls. For instance, the 10000
shares of Illinois Central which Hartman, H. H. Rogers and
lanes Stl1man sold to the U. P. at a handsome profit? And
how much interest did Hartman have in the 10000 shares
sold by Kuhn, Loeb & Co. to the u. P?

The policy of the present administration toward great bust

disaster to the country, financial depression and financial chaos.

Confidence is gone, and confidence is the basis of all pros
|perity. With confidence established there can be no stopping
of the wheels of progress. Without it all is at a sandstnl.
What has been, and is, "the policy of the present admin
istration ?"s To stop rebaing, to end the criminal stanging
of competition and to compel obedience to the laws. These are
the ofenses of the Government, and because the people have
supported the Government a fearful dose of punishment is to
be dealt out to them. Our financial overords are to indulge
in a financial instruction so that in the ruin of thousands they
may .reestablish their exemption from all law and regulation.

that they controlled stock of the lutte

The suit was for an injunction to re-
strain the sale by the defendants of
collateral of the plaintiff decedent for
a debt alleged to be due from him un-
der certain contracts, and to set aside
these contracts as. being made while
Jutte was insane.

missed.
