whether the applicant for credit

are themselves engaged in indus

suppress competition and get
other advantages by illegal

cally analogous to that which the
railroads have occupied in the

realized that they owed trust
TO the stockholders. They did
not. however. concede their trust

exceptional cases. like that of
Baldwin. until the recent educa-

used their railroad control to
grant discriminating rates. which
made possible the great mOnopO-

control. In their purchase of
lubricants. for instance, they
favor the Standard Oil Company
against independent operators.

The more recent disclosures
in connection with the LOrimel
Legislative bribery scandal in IL
linois may lead to a ro-Openin9
of the LOrimer case in the United
States Senate, though the Sen
ate would rather let the mat
ter rest where it is so far as it
concerns that body. The testi-
mony of Editor KohlSaat Of Chi
cago shows plainly what were
the interests behind, and most
concerned in the LOrimcr elec-
ton. 1t was the capitaliStic inter
ests of Chicago that put up the
notorious $4,000 jackpot fund
for the debauching Of d legisla-
ture. 1t was put up to add an

incidentally, adds much to the

We believe the Democratic ma
iOritv in the House would rather
welcome Republican opposition
to it's tariff program than accept
aid from that party in carrying
it out. for then the Democrats
will be in Il position to go before
the people next year with the
argument that its policy was
frustrated by the opposition, and
that they had therefore no op-
portunity to show that their poi
icy was better suited to the
economic welfare of the country
than the one they proposed to
upset. With this plea they
would undoubtedly elect their
candidate for President in 1912.
and also get control of both
House and Senate. 1t is up to
the Republican party whether
the uncertain condition now pre-
vailing from the contemplated
assault upon the tariff shall termi-
nate with the present session of
congress or be continued for at
least six years longer That
there is general lasSitude in
nearly all lines of industry is ap-
parent to all who are engaged
therein. Money is being called
in and deposited in banks rather
than invested in industrial enter
priSes. We hope to see the
Democrats given full rein in car
rying out their program, for nc
matter whether it is carried out
or checked, the fact that they are
in control in one branch of the
federal legislature is sufficient tC
put the clog under industrial
activity. This period will have
to be outlived, and it is simply :
question of whether it shall be
short or long, as we lend our aid
in pushing aside the incubus
that has checked it. Without
giving the Democratic program
a trial the people. in their pres
ent frame of mind, will not be
satisfied that that party has haC
fair chance to prove its ef
ficiency, and a general Democrat
ic success in 1912 would post
pone a general business resnmp
ton for at least eight years.
