THE TRUSTS AS AN ISSUE

The care with which the Chicago
convention sought to make it's platform
lnoffenSlve to vested interests" leads
to the belief that what is popuIarlv
known as the trusts will be a vital is
sue in the coming campaign.
The people have heard and read a
great deal about the trusts, and the
necessity of breaking them up to some
extent, or regulating their operations.
so that they could not continue to be
great monopolies, controlling the out
put and price of many necessary COM
modities.
President Roosevelt has on FREQUENT
occasions lectured against the trusts,
and written messages about them, and
has attacked some Of them through the
courts. Restriction of the trusts is in
fact one of his principal professed poll
cies.
But the Chicago convention was
very careful to say nothing that would
antagonize the trusts or commit the
party, insofar as a convention can do
so. to the presidents policy in this re-
gard. The plank on the Philippine tariff
is significant in this connection. It says:
Between the United States and the
Philippines we believe in free inter-
change of products, with such linnita-
tions as to sugar and tobacco as will
avoid injury to domestic interests"
The only meaning there is in this that
amounts to anything is that the sugar
and tobacco trusts need not be alarmed:
they will be duly taken care Of. as here
tofore. and consequently are expected
to make the usual large campaign con-
trlbutions. The sugar and tobacco
| trusts are almost absolute monopoles
They can fix the price of these COM
modities, and make almost as many
| millions year profit out of the Ameri-
can pecple-meanwhile doing the Fill
pinos a shameful injustice-as avarice
could coVet. And yet this Roosevelt
| policies" platform in effect tells these
trusts that they will not be intcrfered
with.
And there is not a word, either, that
would alarm any of the scores of other
trusts or monopolies-the steel trust,
| the harvester trust. the glass trust. the
nail trust. the paper trust, and many
others. They are all at least negative
! ly given to understand that they can
pursue their pleasant occupation Of
| laundering their fellow citizens by aid
| of laws passed for their benefit.

Defends Night Riders.

Editor. StateSman:-The injustice,
unfairness, and evident dishonesty of the
author of How the Night Riders
Fight" the alleged fabrication of a
white haired Kentuckian,' which ap-
peared in The Statesman of June 26,
prompts me to avail myself of the
courtesy of your columns in defense
of the fair state of my birth and her
citizens.
The unfortunate readers Of subsi-
died press outside of the state of Ken
lucky have never had an opportunity
to hear but one side of the tobacco
controversy, and they little know that
these carefully written articles are
more carefully inspected and well paid
for by the American Tobacco company
before they are ever presented to the
publisher. do not wish to be misunder-
stood as blaming The Statesman in
any way. for having known it for a good
many years. 1 know it to be fair in
every sense of the word. 1t borrowed,
from an exchange, well written story
on a live subject, innocent of any wrong
to anyone and ignorant of the fact that
the author was well paid for his talent
and ability to mould publi- opinion to
favor the octopus, that controls the to-
bacco market of the world. in this fight
Of oppression against the hard work
ing tobacco growers of Kentucky.
Having spent the greater part of the
past winter IL the center of this great
fight between the tobacco growers ana
the American Tobacco company in
Kentucky. and having studied the sit
uation at close range, l think l under
stand the conditions fairly we'll From
my earliest childhood / am familiar
with the type referred to as the white
haired farmer.
You know him too. He appears in
various unique DISCUSSES, but you can
always recognize him. He Is the loatn
some, repugnant scab whom all decent
people detest and the world despises.
He lied to his neighbors, telling them
that he would reduce his acreage Of
tobacco and knowing that they had
The Evening statesman. [volume] (Walla Walla, Wash.) 1903-1910, 1908-06-27

agreed to raise no tobacco at all in
1908 he doubled his acreage to reap
the reward of their labors, an increased
demand He promised not to market his
crop until they had marketed theirs,
and admits that he has already sold
his last crop, when it is a known fact
that his neighbors, the American So
ciety Of Equity, is still holding the
crops raised in both 1906 and 1907.
But to recall a little history Twenty
years ago when tobacco raising was
introduced into the beautiful Blue
Grass region of central Kentucky, the
most fertile land was used, the finest
pastures We're plowed up, beautiful
woodlands were destroyed, giant his
toric oaks were sacrificed, large ex-
rensive barns and warehouses were
built. Why? The tobacco was then
marketed at public auction on the
brakes at Louisville and other markets
and sold for Is to 20 cents per- pound,
a fair compensation for the time, labor.
and money expended. Since that time
the American Tobacco company has
been formed, a combination of practl-
cally all the manufacturers Of the Unit
ed States. The price to the producer
has steadily declined and for the past
five years and more five cents per
pound has been the average price pald
and the representatives of the Amerl-
can Tobacco company has been the
only bidder on the brakes Has the
price to the consumer changed! MOI
vet Last year the American Tobacco
company paid s12,oOO,OOo for the raw
material and from that paid $26,00o,ooo
dividends to stockholders. "Who pays
the freight?
Like all good citizens of Kentucky l
do not attempt to defend the methods
used by the Night Riders, nevertheless
every good American citizen will agree
that their cause is just, and that it is
not safe to trample upon the rights Of
Kentuckians, and very little sympathy
goes out to those two parasites of hui
manly, the octopus and the scab.

Gently been given involuntary member
ship cards in the down and out club.
The New York stunt OF putting the
kibosh to horse racing resulted in to-
tai failure. The assembly, the first ever
held in the islands. declined to put
ban on the sport, and the bookies will
remain undisturbed in the distant nab
itation. The Filipinos see nothing cruel
or offensive in betting on horse races
until they lose, and then the resentment
is passing.
Efforts were made to put the cockpit
ont of commission in Manila. But the
game rooster men were too influential.
The pugnacity of roosters is still being
put to the test, however, in the Ma
Mia cockpits.
The most alarming reform attempted
was that to prohibit the importation
and sale of playing cards. Not only the
gamblers, but the American woman

PARTING OF THE WAYS.

Following is an extract from an edi-
torial written by Henry Watterson for
the Louisville Courier Journal:
But there is that which is stronger
than the individual preference for Mr..
.Bryan-deeper than personal sympathy
and sentiment-the conviction that he
stands for something other than equiv
ocal promises working their ends
through the arts of eXpediency laid in
dicker and barter; that he means some
thing not embraced by private ar
rangement, reached in dark and distant
places; that his very simplicity and
lack of prudence give the people guar
antees that he can not be cajoled or
bought or bullied. but may be relied on
to set his face against low politics and
high finance. sending the Belmonts and
the Ryans Of democracy to keep COM
pany with the Harrimans and the Nor
gans of republicanism.
New York city has grown somewhat
caviar to good men, whether they be
republicans or democrats. The real line
separating Ryan. the alleged democrat
mailing from Virginia-and Morgan, an
alleged republican. hailing from Lon
don. as we'll as New York-they are as
sociated in a gigantic community of in
terest-the real line separating Har-
riman, the alleged republican, and Bel
mont, an alleged democrats invisible
to any public gaze. None of them,
whether calling himself a democrat or
a republican, would be satisfied with a
president not at all times accessible to
him. We shall never have an end of
syndlcated government until an end is
had of this tainted influence. until the
Morgans and the Belmonts. the Ryans
and the Harrimans are led clearly to
understand that they can not name the
candidates of both parties and so buy
the elections each way, coming and 60
ing, until they are given to know their
place and made TO find il in the rear.

in the campaign. Predatory wealth still
