SERVING THE TRUSTS

A recent issue of the Louisville Post
had eight editorials, all dealing with
trusts. They averaged about II half Il
column in length and explained how
every trust robs the 1t
mentions the beef trust with its $780,
600, 900 annual revenue; the steel trust,
the sugar trust, the whiskcy trust, the
paper trust, the telephone trust. but
makes the great railway and money
trusts of New York City the head of all
of them. and indicts the Republican
party, and some Democrats, for doing
the bidding Of the entire outfit. The
remedy for such a condition, i'll the
opinion of the Post, is some plan than
will insure the people n greater measure
of power at the ballot box, where they
may elect senator's and representatives,
who will serve the people instead of the
trusts. The Post might have added
with truth and pertinence that the SEN
ate has fixed the tariff schedules 10 suit
most of these trusts. The steel trust
has got what it wanted: so has the
leather trust, the lumber trust, the
yarn trust apd several other trusts
The sugar trust will doubtless get nj
it wants, too, before the bill has finally
been passed. 1t would DC ludicrous i
it were not 50 serious to the people-th,
sight Of representatives Of two grea
political parties in the United State
working for a lot of trusts in order tina
their profits may not be molested, OK
cept t make them larger. We agre
with the Louisville Post that somethin
ought to bc done to protect the con
sumner. The country is not going to b
fooled much longer. 80 Chattanoog

A SHAMELESS REVIVAL

Whatever Mr.. Hartman may have
said, those who believe the pronounce
ment Us given in the papers can see in
operation an excellent example of how
the foundations for just such another
decision can be laid. The spectacle at
present afforded by the United States
Senate is an insult to every self-rcSpect-
ing American. 1t exhibits statesmen
supposed to be acting in a national
capacity owned in soul and pocketbook
by petty local interests, while II
corporation after another shows that it
can snap its fingers ut the promises
made by the Republican President and
all his party before election and
accepted by the American people.
There is. in fact, a shameless revival
of that association of selfish corporate
interests with legislation and Legislators
such rs dared not show its head twelve
months ago, and such rs can bring
about another Lands fine and another
social upheaval. Even n condition SO
grave could not produce another 1907
crisis with0:.t the other factors which
contributed to that crisis.-Wall Street
Journal.

Taft, before the election, had spoken for
the party in the voice of Aldrich. Bryan
would undoubtedly have been elected.
They know that three-fourths Of the
people of the country expected and still
desire, Il reasonable tariff for revenue,
instead Of the arrogant scheme of rob-
berry which Aldrich and his co-conspi-
rators send back to the house.
The Aldrich tariff is the offspring Of
greed, treachery and broken faith. 1t
is Il cynical assault upon representative
government. 1t is al outrage upon the
millions Of American citizens aIid :LS-
payers who have striven,i AID will still
strive, to escape payment of ten dollars
to monopoly for every dollar of tariff
taxation they paw into the rsvcnue of
the United States.
By resisting this outrage ut every
point where resistance may give promise
of amendment. or where indignant pro-
test may b. proclaimed the democrats
of the house will do the country II ser.

Right OF Way OF The Union Pacific

The Union Pacific, a day last week,
took forciblc possession of the 300 foot
right Of way on either sidc Of the main.
track of its road through Brighton,
Colorado. and since then has com.
mcnceda campaign aginst all occupants
of the right of way from Omaha TO
Ogden.
Within a short time attorneys have
disputed the right of the company to
the I00.foot right Of way because the
Union Pacific has sold or attempted to
sell part of the land strip, in violation
of Il prOviso of the original law which
said that such action would Gauss the
land to revert 10 the government. As
a result the railroad company has
started tn dispOsscss the owners and
occupants of the strip for II distance Of
200 miles.
This will cause II great upsetting of
the smaller towns whose business dis
tricts are situated almost wholly within
the right Of way.--Ogdcn Examiner.

Many are the jokes that are per.
petratcd at the expense of the sup
poScdly slow-witted farmer, and many
persons share III the opinion that he Is
just Il little behind his city cousin in
knowledge and attachments, and that
anything is good enough for him. But
let us consider what he is really worth.
says an authority who has figured out
the situation.
The American farmer earns enough
in seventeen days to buy uut the
Standard Oil company, in fifty days to
wipe Carnegie and his steel trust from
off the commercial map. Compare with
such facts rs these, the story of the
money made corporations seems like
the short and simple annals Of the
poor"
Talk of swollen fortunes. With the
setting of every sun, the money bag of
the American farmer bulges with the
weight of twcnty-four new millions.
Place your finger on the pulse OF
your wrist and count Your heart beats
one, two, three, four. With every fOur
of those quick throbs, day and night,
one thousand dollars chatter into the
gold-bin of the American farmer.
How incOmprehcnsiblc it would seem
to Pcriclcs. who saw Greece in her
Golden Age, if he could know that the
yearly revenue of his country was nC
more than II days pay for the maj
who tills the soil of this infant republic
Or how it would amaze Il rcsurrcctcG
Christopher Columbus if he We're told
that the of Spain and Portuga
were not nearly so much rs the earning
Of the farmers hens.
More crumbs hat fall from tn
farmers table, otherwise known rs agri
cultural exports, have brought il
enough Of foreign money since 1892 t
enable the American farmer, if he 5
wishes to settle the railroad Gucsrio
once for all, that is, to buy every foo

We can readily see that the America
farmer is really the backbone of til
earning power of our country.

FOR A DEMOCRATIC STAND

The tariff bill has come back to the
house bristling with defiance Of the
mandate of the American people, cx-
pressed in no uncertain voice i'm the
presidential election Of last year. Dem
ocrats on the house conference commit.
tee and OH the floor of the house will
| perform au imperative duty to their
| party and to the country by resisting
its passage with all the strength that is
in them and with all the vigor of action
and of speech that the speakers gavel
and his committee III rules will permit.
Though the tariff plank in the Chica.
go platform was Il meaningless evasion.
it was popularity interpreted, in the
light Of Mr.. Taft's positive uttcranccs.

revision downward. to the end that the
people might bc relieved Of the heavy
toll of tribute which protected monopo.

Mr.. Taft knew. and said so, that
no man who stood for any other tariff
policy could bc elected to the presidency
