Eoually Wefghfy.

The cry of 1.-THE tariff is the mother
of the trusts" takes the place Of the
old Democratic cry of The tariff is a
tax" and is just about as weighty an
argument. Probably one of the most
gigantic trusts in this country today
is the Sugar Trust and it was formed
when the Wilson-Gorman tariff law "a
free trade measure) was in force. True,
removal Of the tariff duties on foreign
made goods would kill the trusts in
this country, but how? American man.
ufacturers would in time be forced out
OF business entirely, and there would
be nothing Of which to form trusts.
Trust regulation is the only remedy for
bad trusts, and the Roosevelt admins
tration has made a most excellent start
in that direction, and the end is not

IT Would Re n Crime.

The great masses are not talking
politics now. They are busy. Their
ambition is to see that nothing is done
to make them idle; to contribute in any
honorable way to giving each man the
full reward for the work of his head
and hands. This country is very pros
porous. There is the old state of I'M
easiness in Wall street, but Wall street
should look into the country where the
factories and the FORCES are going
where the farmers are harvesting their
crops and sending them to market;
where we'll paid men are putting forth
enormous production for our domestic
markets, and for the markets Of the
world. 1t would be a crime if Congress
should do anything at this time to up
set business. Joseph G. Cannon.

\ commenting upon the Quebec disaster, an

remarks upon the safety of the enormous

New York and elsewhere:
IF the stress and strain theory must be

why:

The Cincinnati Enquirer does not be-
lieve in putting off until tomorrow
what should be done to-day. While not
insisting that tariff disturbance is the
burning need of the hour, it logically
urges that if revision Is needed two
years hence it is needed now:
The principle of the tariff is the
same now that it will be eighteen
months or two years hence. If it is
wrong now the simple and perhaps the
straightforward thing to do would be
to commence the overhauling Of the
schedules at the first opportunity,
which will be on the first Monday of
December next"
Equally logical is the plea that If
tariff revision is not needed now it
may not be needed two years from
now, and hence there is no occasion for
setting a date. Why promise for 1909

does not want in 1907?-American

An Expert Diagnosis.

Wall Street may wall and specula>
tors may take the most pesslmistic
view imaginable regarding our future
financial and industrial status, but the
great producers cannot be stampeded.
There could be no better authority
than Willis L. King, vice president of
the Jones s Laughlin Steel Company,
one of the largest of the Independent
concerns. Mr.. King says very terse-
ly:
There are only three things that
should, in my opinion, affect adversely
pestilence and free trade. We can
safely trust the first two to Providence.
and 1 hope the Republican party will
continue to look after the third"
He adds that the West does not
share in the pessimism of a portion Of
the Eastern press; that conditions do
not warrant alarm, but simply lad
monish thoughtful men that the ire
mendous expansion of the past few
years must rest until the financial
equilibrium or the country Is re-eStaD-
lished"
Mr.. King concludes a very optimistic
declaration with the following:
THE country IS certainly richer than
it was a year or even three months
ago. The farmers have harvested Il
seven billion dollar crop, and the mines
have added many millions to our
wealth. 1t is the part of wisdom, there
fore, to await the future with conf
dence, and not be carried away by
fear of something that is not at all
likely TO happen.
The positive opinion of men like Mr..
King is worth fer more than the va
poriZing of certain editors who have no
practical knowledge of real conditions.
