REPUBLICANS AND TRUSTS.
Linked Together for "the Principle OF
Protection"

To reform the tariff so that the
trusts would not be protected in
charging present high prices for their
products, would abolish 'the prin.
ciple of protection" which the last
Republican platform declared is ''the
cardinal policy of the Republican par
ty" We know how the trusts and pro.
tected manufacturers successfully pro-
tested when the reciprocity treaties
with France and other countries were
before the senate for ratification, al
though those treaties only reduced the
tariff 20 per cent. on some few articles
that were protected by duties averag'
ing Is per cent.
Will even the most conservative Re.
publican tariff reformer say that 20
per cent. reduction will appreciably
reduce the prices of the products of
the protected trusts, when their pres
ent protection is from so to over 100
per cent? If so, are the Republican
revisionists prepared to revise the
tariff still lower, until those trusts
that sell cheaper abroad than to our
own people, can do so no longer?
The Democratic plan of abolishing
trust protection and limiting the rates
of duty, ''to the needs of the govern
ment, economically, effectively and
constitutionally administered" is to
invite disaster according to the Re.
publican platform which also declared
that: "a Democratic tariff by bust.
ness prosperity" That mendacious
statement has been proven so his,
torically untrue that honest Republ-
cans are heartily ashamed of it. The
facts are the Republican leaders find
themselves confronted with tariff re-
form sentiment that is becoming dam
gerous to their continued supremacy
and the question of standing by the
tariff protected trusts, or propitiating
the people plundered by trust high
prices, can no longer be put of with
'let well enough alone" The trusts
and protected manufacturers furnish
the financial backing of the Republi-
can party and most of the Republican
members of congress are under Cbli-
cations to those interests. AS the pro-
lection the trusts enjoy allows them
to charge large profits, it is absurd to
believe they will be willing to allow
their protection to be eliminated or
even reduced or that the Republican
party will forego their campaign con-
tributions. Such happenings would be
equal to the phenomena OF pigs fly.
ing, but they are very unlikely
birds.

FRENZlED FINANCE.
The Republicans Are Helping the
Money Power.

Although the United States Treas.
ury claims to have on May 2S bal
ance of 1857 .09S,64S, besides the trust
funds to redeem outstanding certifi.
Gates, yet in reality there is but a
working balance" of $65, ,0S3,944 OF
free cash to pay the debts and run
ming expenses of the government.
For of the amount reported on hand
must be deducted current liabilities,
which are reported ON the same day
to be $113,399,030 and nearly $4,000
600 more in the Philippine treasury
and awaiting reimbursement. Then
there was on the same date $1S3 3,246,-
977 deposited in the national banks,
which if called for suddenly could not
be paid, or if paid would SO reduce
the money on hand in many of the
banks as to produce a panic.
On or before July 1 the treasury
will have to redeem $42,313,700 of the
four per cent. bonds due on that day,
S74, ,441,S50 having been redeemed or
refunded by another issue. If the
matter of paying off these bonds was
treated as business men pay their liza
bilities the owners of the bonds would
be given checks on the banks that
hold $1S3,246,977 of the government
money, upon which they are paying
no interest, instead of issuing any new
bonds
But the national banks have been
too free contributors to Republican
campaign funds to be called upon to
pay what they owe and will be let
off with only having to pay small
portion of it and the balance the peo-
pie will be required to pay interest
upon for years to come In the form of
new bonds.
On the day of the Wall street panic
in March there was working bal.
ance'' of. $1OO,797 900 in the United
States treasury, which has been re.
duced to but little over 100000
by increasing the deposits in the fav.
ored banks to help them out of the
tight place they are in.
Thus is the United States treasury
mixed up with the doings of the fren.
zied financiers of Wall street by the
present reform administration.
The Aldrich bill passed by the last
congress is responsible for this and
as it was passed by the Republicans
as a party measure they alone must
explain why the banks were so favor
ed at the expense of the people. The
Wall street Journal, commenting on
that measure said:
"The signing of the Aldrich bill is
the first important step in the abol
ishing of the independent treasury
system which was established in Van
Buren's administration as a result of
JacksOn's war on the United States
bank. From Jackson to Roosevelt COW
ers a period of over 70 years."
So the result of Jackson's fight
against the United States bank as
political power inimical to the inter
ests of the American people has vir
tually been reversed by the Republi.
can party under President Roosevelt
and probably not one Republican
voter out of a hundred knows that
theA representatives in congress vOt
ed to so aid the money power.

Accounted For,

Among the many stories told OF the
Scottish Judge, Lord Young, is one as
sociated with an election in Edin-
burgh, when 1t was announced that
Lord Wolmer had been returned by a
majority of three votes. Later cor
rection made the majority 300, and
gave the names of two lords of ses-
sion who had voted for the successful
candidate. Lord Young, thereupon re-
marked: That accounts for the two

The Psychological Moment.

The fact that Priam was clOseted
with the adjuster did not prevent Cas-

"She was all / saved" murmured

thumb at the retiring prophecies.

SERMON ETTE.

IUCTC 10 peru tH NY
{ what God has told US utterly to
destroy.
Saul's war orders were to de-
stroy utterly the AmaIekites
and all they had, but in the pre-
sumption and pride of his will
full heart he modified these or
ders to meet the desire of him.
self and the people with him.
Th victorious kings of the ma
tions about brought back their
captives of war as token of their
vaIor, and why should not he?
They took of the spoil of the
enemy and made votive offer
ings to their gods; why should
not he?
Why should not he? Be-
cause Gods orders were plain
and explicit, and to disobey
was soul madness.
"The soul that doeth aught
presumptuousIy (or, with an
high hand, as the margin has
~, the same reproacheth the
Lord; and that soul shall be
cut off from among his peo-
Pile"
David cried, having in mind
perhaps the shipwreck which
Saul had made of his life, "keep
back thy servant also from pre-
sumptuous sins, let them not
have dominion over me-"
There is a tendency to-day,
ard fatal one, too. Of qualify
ing Gods Word te the level of
human standards. 1t is no long
er, "thus saith the Lord" and I
mus reeds obey, nay, ! dare not
disobey. 1t is getting away
from the spirit and the letter
Of the law ard the perform
ance Of such portion of the Di-
vine Word as is convenient and
consistent with the other de-
maFids of the life and heart.
Peter, in the tenth verse Of
the second chapter Of his Sec
ond epistIe draws the picture
Of the presumptuous man of
the Saul stripe. He says he
walks "after the flesh in the
lust of uncIeanIiness, and de-
spises government" other than
that of his own self will.
81 have performed the COM
mandment Of the Lord."-"I
have sinned." 1t is hard to rec
onciIe these two statements of
Saul. In the blindness of his
wiIIfuI heart he will not see
his wrong-doing. He belongs to
that class who "having eyes
sees not, and having ears, hear
not" The unrepentant sinner
ever seeks to justify himself.
BUT as Samuel presses home
his accusation, and uncovers the
enormity Of his sin by throwing
the bright light of Gods word
upon it Saul hears and trem-
bies, and falteringIy admits: "a
have sinned." 1t is a confession
Of guilt which brings with it no
sense of repentance. II is that
confession Of guilt which comes
from dawning sense of loss Of
human friendship and material
gain. 1t was not SO much a
concern with Saul as to how he
stood in the sight of God as
II was how he stood with the
prophet Samuel. His cry Is
not one Of forgiveness, but
"honor me now ! pray thee, be-
fore the elders of my people,
and before Israel, and turn
again with ne, that may wor-
ship the Lord"
Let US be watchfuI that we
fall not into presumptuous sin, !,
and let US not be blind to sin
Of heart and life, but let us free
iy confess our sin, for he is
faithful and just to forgive US
our sin and cleanse from all
unrighteousness."
