Trusts are a natural and logical
result of a high protective tariff. The
higher the duties the greater the
number of trusts. With the possible
exception of Russia, the United States
has the highest tariff known. We
also have the most trusts. | see no
exceptional objections to great COR
pOrations, or even to combinations
and syndicates, if they behave them
selves. They will behave if they have
no special privileges, no monopoly
power which will enable them to con-
troll prices.
But when, with a high tarin
wall, you prohibit foreign competi-
ton, you invite the competitors in
any industry inside that wall to get
together to sustain prices and bleed
the penned-up consumers. We should
not be surprised that we have so
many trusts and that they put the
prices up so high. 1t is not surpris-
ing that we have graft and corrup-
ton in public and private life. 1t
would be strange if our present tariff
system did not result in trusts and
graft. 1t is equivalent to a license to
form combinations and trusts to graft
off the public.
''Trust-busting that leaves the
trusts entrenched as strongly as ever
and permits constant increase in the
cost of living is an utter and abso-
lutte failure. This whole trust-bust-
ing business as conducted at Wash
ington is farcical. The real remedy
lies in the removal of the duties that
shelter and protect the trusts.
"All other gratis combined do not
equal the annual graft of the tariff
the continuous robbery of the people
under the cover of a protective tar
iff law, which permits the taking un-
necessarily of an average of not less
than $50 a year a family from their
pockets and turns the proceeds over
to trusts. Every article of food, cloth
ing and shelter is tariff-taXed. If an
article is not taxed directly it is in
directly. 1t is shipped over tariff
taxed railroads or stored in tariff
taxed buildings"

governor DOUGLAS.
SAYS TARIFF REFORM is PRIME
ISSUE.
Former Democratic Executive of
massachusetts, Declares High Pro-
lection is Parent of Trusts and is
Responsible for Graft and Public
Corruption.

In the election of 1904, when
Theodore Roosevelt was sweeping the
country with remarkable majorities,
there were peculiar political phenom-
ena noticeable in two widely separa-
ted states, each stronghold of re-
publicanism.
Minnesota, while giving the pres
ident 161,46 plurality, elected John
A. Johnson, a democrat, to be gov
ernOr. Massachusetts gave Roose-
welt 92,076 plurality and at the same
time elected a democratic governor
by 35,9S9 plurality.
This New England democratic vic
tor was William L. Douglas, of Brock
ton, man widely known in the
business world, but relatively new to
political life. His strongest cam
paign argument was tariff reduction
which sounded almost heretical in
Massachusetts.
Since then his insistent demands
conspicuous figure in the front rank
of democracy.
What must the democratic party
do to win?" The World asked of Mr..
Douglas. He turned instantly from
the absorbing business affairs of a
great manufacturing industry to the
political question. This was his re-
ply:
First, the democratic party must
make tariff reform the foremost is
sue.
Second, it must oppose the in
crease of Federal power and revert
to the old doctrine of state rights.
Third, it must fight special priv
ilege in every form.
Fourth, it's leaders must get to-
gether on the common ground with
the fundamental principles of democ-
racy as basis, casting aside extreme
radical doctrines on the one hand
and ultra conservatism on the other.
with such platform and with
candidate chosen to represent prin-
ciples rather than fads and isms, the
democracy will stand strong chance
of winning.
Il have said repeatedly that tariff
reform must be the leading issue.
That reform must come now, not
with promises Of revision in the dis
tant, uncertain future. The present
tariff system is at the root of most
Of our national evils. 1t is the source
of that monstrous niquity-special
privilege-which saps the very foun-
dation of government and of business
life. Special privileges foster class
that feeds on the productiveness of
the masses.

WILSON MILL CLOSED DOWN
CAUSED BY STIKE ON BOATS

The Wilson mill closed down last
night, the posted notices said, indefi-
nitely. Inquiry at the mill shows
that the lumber market had nothing
to do with the shut down, but that is
directly attributable to the srike of
marine engineers which led up the
steamers belonging to this company.
The failure of their vessels to run
has resulted in a congestion of the
mill docks to such an extent that
they have no room for more lumber.
This would now be remedied by the
ending of the strike, but the COM
pany's steamers are now held at the
yard in San Francisco by the repair
ing of a bridge, that may tie them
up for a month.

AMERICAN MILL TO START.
Result of the Visit of Messrs. Coats
and Johnson to San Fran
cisco Is Reassuring.

The visit of b. F. Johnson and A.
S. Coats to San Francisco in the in
terest of the American Mill company
has resulted beneficially for the en-
ployes of the plant. The mill will
be started next Monday with a full
crew. The mill has been closed two
months, and it's starting will give
employment to good many men and
make the hearts of the workingmen
in that district of the city glad. With
the starting of the c. E. Burrows
plant shortly, and promise of other
mill companies getting their business
under way, the prospects of Aberdeen
are brighter than for the past month.

Sixth Ward.


The Sixth, like the Third and
Fourth wards, has three candidates,
the Independent nominee, Geo. Stall
ding, being a defeated candidate at
the republican primaries, as, indeed,
were all three Independent nomin-
ees. McDougall, Republican candi-
date, like Ingram, of the Second, la
bors under the onus of being men,
Der of the present council, and, con-
ditiOns indicate, with Stalding out of
the running, w. II. Pierre, the Citi-
zens' nominee, would stand a good
show to come under the wire several
lengths ahead. But, the injection of
the Squealers' ticket, as in the Third
and Fourth, complicates matters.
From what we consider reliable
sources, Pierre, the popular foreman
of the Bulletin composing room, has
more than an equal chance for cleo
tion, and will make an excellent
councilman.

The violation of the law is what
is causing the prohibition wave
to sweep the Southern States. In
this town we learn that some of
the saloons receive minors, this is
one cause that will agitate our
people against liquor. Another is
the Sunday law violation. We
know some of our saloons are clo-
sed here while in the other parts
of the parish they are wide open.
This disregard of the law by one
class of people cause the violation
of. other laws, and one is as guilty
as the other even If the offeuse is
not as grave, and unless the liquor
dealers exclude minors from their
establishments and respect the
Sunday law the prohibition wavs
will sweep them out of existence.

He is not of the magazine type, however, for he has been care fully drawn from life by the author who knew him in the long ago, before Emerson Hough began ruthlessly dragging the romantic spectacles from our noses. In the play this bad man is known as Cash Hawkins" and he is a splendid type of the old-time character.

Opening of Their New Store on

The announcement of the Misses Cohane's new store. 150 Orange street, opposite the Woman's Exchange. briefly gives the several lines of goods they will carry, calls attention to the initial opening at 2 o'clock this aft ernoon, and extends to the public a cordial invitation to attend.
 In this city, and other cities of its size. the opening of new store is no uncommon occurrence. The opening of this one. however, is. It is an evil Idence of the fact that the proprietors at least believe that a small store given up to specialties, backed up by knowledge and experience In the lines handled. and receiving personal su- pervision in the goods bought and sold, and identifying themselves per- sonally with their customers, will pay.
 No doubt many ladies. through a friendly feeling to the Misses Cohane, who are well known locally, and oth- CTS through a natural interest in a new enterprise of this kind, will visit the store this afternoon. Those that do will find one department specially featured-that is the infant depart ment In this will be found every- thing needful for the attire of the in- fant and child. In the other depart ments the selection of the stock can- not fail to elicit favorable comment.
 The store itself is attractive and is neatly and conveniently arranged.
