CONTROL OF CORPORATIONS

There is hardly voter in the United
States, other than the Republican pol.
iticians, who does not want to see the
trusts and railroads so controlled that
the price of the products of the
trusts and the charges of the railroads
shall he reasonable.
Yet the Republican administration
ana the Republican controlled Con-
gress have done absolutely nothing
that will decrease the cost of living.
There has beer bluff Of trust busting
and railroad or two have been pros
ecuted for Relating, but can you name
railroad or trust that has reduced
its prices in consequence of Republi-
can legislation? This is the tariff and
trust and railroad issue Of the coming
campaign. Promises for the future
and the glad hand to the voters will
not compensate for the lack OF per-
formance in the past.

for sale at auction because of
about $40 in taxes due, and it was

was not redeemed within the two
years allowed by law, and County
Treasurer Robert q. Hilton had
no alternative put to give Mr.. Poss
deed. The property is estimated
TO pc worth at least So, 900, and
under the law the tax sale gives
Mr.. Poss clear title. The only
way in which the sale can be got
aside is for the court to decide
that the tax law is invalid, but
members of the bar agree that the
law will stand the test.

A READY MADE REPUBLICAN
CREED.

The candidate to be nominated by
the convention having been selected in
advance, it was appropriate that the
platform for the convention to adopt
should also he written and given to the
! press before the convention was called
to order. The Republican party hav-
ing destroyed the deliberative charac-
ter of the House of Representatives, it
, has nov degraded the National Con-
vention to the level OF mere ratifica-
ton meeting.
OF course, the most delicate task in
compromising the platform was to get
over the panic OF last fall, which not
only occurred under a Republican
Administration, but of which the Pres-
dents speeches and messages were a
contributing cause. All of the finan-
cial reverses Tor half of century-the
panics of 1873, 1884, the partial panic
of 1890, the severe stringency of 1902
and the panic of 1907-occurred under
the Republican Administration, with
the single exception of the panic Of
1885, which came before the Cleveland
Administration had had time to do
anything and which was caused
mainly by the Republican silver legis-
lation of 1890, aggravated by the sac
ritice of revenue, which the Mckinley
tariff effected. In view of this per-
fectly familiar record, it prOvOkes
laughter rather than resentment that
the platform attributes to the opera
ton of" Republican policies, the recent
safe passage OF the American people
through financial disturbance which,
If appearing in the midst of Democratic
rule, or the menace of it, might have
equslsd the familiar Democratic panics
of the past" This is really the finest
achievement of political impudence
that can be found in our history.
The platform bristlss with plain
falsehoods. That Congress did not
enact lot of Roosevelt measures is at
tributed TO the Democratic filibuster.
Everybody knows that it was due to
the opposition of Payne, Cannon, Dali
zell aud The other Republican leaders
10 the President. The statement that |
the Democratic party opposed the
Law, and refused to enforce
il. is plain lying. Senator Sherman
inttsduced an Anti-Tru Bill, bnt Sem
ator Vest said that he wrote more of
the measure as it passed than Senator
Sherman did. The Cleveland Ad- /
originated or pushed TO
the highest courts suits against two
great railroad combinations and two
great industrial combinations. The
statement that the Democratic party
tands for the contraction of the Amer
can influence in the world has no

DEAR BEEF AND THE MO
NOPOLY.

At time when prices of comnod-
tiles are declining in the general mar
kets, and when the earnings of mil
lions of men are reduced, announce
ment comes from the headquarters of
the Beef Trust of another advance of
the prices of its product. This is ac-
companied with an explanation that
the supply of cattle has declined for
various reasons, and with an ilusory
promise that the price of beef will de-
cline again with a change of condi-
tions. But there is no satisfactory evil
dence on the part of the monopoly that
it is paying more for cattle on the hoof
than before the last arbitrary advance
in the price of meat. Exercising auto
cratic control over the market for sup
ply and demand, the syndicate holds
grazers of cattle and the consumers
alike at its mercy.
The question again recurs, however,
whether consumers have no means of
relief from the extortions of the mo-
nopoly. One answer is that by the
exercise of little self denial in the
use of meats, the conditions of the
market would be greatly changed TO
the advantage of the consumers in
spite of the trust. In this season of
the year, there is, in the opinion of the
| psychologists, much less need Of meat
than in the other Seasons The fruits
and vegetables that are becoming
abundant and cheap; fresh and salt
nsh, and the cereals, afford most
wholesome and agreeable substitutes
for the beef and pork of the trust.
Concert of action on the part of few
million consumers would 80 greatly
reduce the price of the syndicate's pro-
ducts that it would be glad enough to
come down with its prices. This
would be fighting the devil with his
own weapon. Onr forefathers handled
it with much success when the British
Government despotically undertook tC
impose taxes upon their articles of con
sumption. They did not hesitate tC
practice the sslf-denial that is requisit,
to defeat this species of tyranny.
Another answer to the question il
that the repeal of the protective dutie
on meats and meat products as soor
as possible, would have decided ten
, dency to lessen the monopOlistic powe
of the Beef Trust, or whatever othe
/ name may be given to this remorseles
] combination. If there were no mo
, nopoly in control Of this trade, as i
: pretended, the simultaneous advanc
/ in prices at given signal from Chic
age would be inconceivable in a gen
$ eral decline of the markets, when tn
/ purchasing power of millions of cor
/, sumers is diminished. None othe
: than monopoly in possession of un
e limited means can thus violate rs
E lures economic laws with impunity
t But untaxed supplies Of meat fror
Y Canada, Mexico and Argentina woul

0 of this kind the rights and interests {

arrangement as to prices of meat, and
that there is NO arbitrary distribution
