banking returns, the trade IN this line
and that. the wheat crop, the stock
market and what not in the financial
and industrial world have been show
cred upon us. But so seldom do We

somewhat of a novelty. The steel
workers In this country, who are pro
tected from the thrush of pauper-made
steel by high tariff. get, for the most
part, s1.50 day Of ten hours, and are
themselves but newly arrived from
Europe. The cotton goods factories
in New England are protected by a
high tariff, yet the employees in these
factories are the poorest paid in the
country. In Massachusetts three
fourths Of the adult male wage earn.
ers receive under $40 month, and the
adult females under s35 a month
One-third Of the adult male workers
in the cotton factories earn less than
SO a week. Twothirds Of the people
of the United States live by wages
and the majority Of the wage-earners
support their families on less than s12
q week, in spite Of the fact that the
cost Of living has doubled in Is years.

For Trust Lawyers.

If we are to Judge from the prevail
Ing voices Of lawyers and ex-presi
dents, neither big business nor little
business can know where it stands
under the antitrust law. The rule OF
reason may guide the courts. but how
shall 1t guide business or the legal
and political advisers Of business?
Meantime large business, with g
fee sized by the effulgent light Of q
lawyers reason, goes into the legal
market for advice of where it stands
under the law as now Interpreted

Good and Bad Trusts.

Mr.. William Randolph Hearst in a
late magazine article gave a very
clear advance analysis Of the recent
Roosevelt outbreak before It had vent
In the columns Of The Outlook We
quote an incisiye paragraph:
"The Roosevelt method is to divide
the trusts into good trusts and into
bad trusts and to-. go to extreme
lengths in assailing those that were
declared by him to be the bad trusts,
and to equally extreme and some
times illegal lengths in aiding and
protecting those that were declared
by him to be- the good trusts.
"But the good trusts and the bad
trusts of Mr.. Roosevelt had no differ
entiation In economics. but only In
politics. The good trusts were the
trusts that supported Mr.. Roosevelt,
and the bad trusts were the trusts
that politically opposed Mr.. Roose'
Yelt."

Another Democratic Chance.

The currency reform plan puts an
other splendid opportunity up to the
Democrats who control the lower
branch Of congress. The progressive
Democrats Of the country and their
representatives at Washington may
not approve the monetary plan which
is generally called the "Aldrich plan"
But they will study 1t for the merit
there is in 1t and will approve 1t If
they find It meritorious.
The chance Is another such one as
the reciprocity bill offered. The Demo
Gratis took that up. found It good and
put It through In doing It they made
the biggest hit with the country they
have made In generation.

SPOlLSMEN IN SADDLE
CONDITION TODAY IN NATIONAL
REPUBLICAN PoNTicS.
People Have Little or No Opportunity
to Declare Their Preference for
Leader When the Con-
vention Meets.

Are the people to have anything to
| say about the presidential candidates
| OF the Republican party next year?
There Is pretense in some places
that they are to be consulted, but all
the indications point to the renomina-
| ton Of Mr.. Taft by the offceholders
! almost without opposition.
At time when the popular demand
for dil primaries seems to be keen
and relerendums and recalls are every
where in operation or under discussion
1t Is more than strange that function
| Of such Importance as this should be
left practically in the hands Of spoils-
| men. This is no new condition in ma
tional Republican politics. In 1904 the
| oHceholders nominated Roosevelt. In
| 1908 Roosevelt nominated Taft.
Few young Republicans remember
national convention in which there was
contest. The last one was In 1896.
Since then candidates have been made
by small coteries, and the great con-
ventions. costing so much time and
money, have had little to do beyond
registering DEGREES made long before
they assembled.
Most people will admit that II d.
rect primary could be held Mr. Taft
would have much difficulty in securing
| q denomination Yet 80 we'll do the
of1ceholders have the situation in hand
| In most Of the states that the party
| managers now claim all OF the dele
gates except about so. The next Re
publican convention. therefore. will be
body representing the Toft admins
tration rather than the people. just as
the Republican convention Of 1908 rep
body representing the Taft admins
The failure of public opinion to as
sert itself in Republican conventions is
due In part to the peculiar attitude OF
the leaders Of the insurgents. These
men are riding for fall. as they say
in the British Parliament. They look
for Taft's nomination and defeat. They
then expect to reorganize and assume
the leadership Of discredited party.
! It is this situation which makes true
progressives in both parties despair OF
Republicanism In any Of it's branches
as a progressive force Such Vigor and
virtue as it has are not to be found IN
It's leadership. Once in Office, stand
patter and. insurgent alike value party
above country. Once In office, stand
patter and insurgent alike hesitate to
cut the thievery out Of the protecting
tarifH-the one institution that blocks
true progress.
With Republican leadership 80 un-
responsive to the popular will, It must
be that the rank and file Of the party
will be strongly .uclined next year to
break away from machine-made tickets
and trust-made platforms. p,opDed up
chiefly by spoils, selnshness and insin-
cerity. The Democratic convention can
give the keynote Of victory to the
campaign by perfecting its representa-
/ tive character, by giving the people
an opportunity to be heard and by ac-
complishing its work with wisdom
and moderation.-St. Louis Republic.

FREE HAND FOR DEMOCRATS
Opportunity Before the Party te sho"
Themselves WorthYof Trust and
ConHdenee.

Reports from the national capltA
indicate plainly that the tariff board
is not handing out for publication any
statements Of what it Is going to rec
ommend. But they indicate quite as
plainly that the Republicans have most
to fear from what The board may say
when it is ready.
They are cats and dogs on the tafiF
question. Some are for revision up
ward, some for revision downward. ana
others want no revision at all What-
ever the board may say about cost OF
production can not bring them any
nearer together, but is more likely 10
drive them farther apart
On the other hand, the Democrats
in the present Congress have been un-
expectedly harmonious in dealing Win
the tariff, and nothing the board can
say is likely to produce dtscord among
them.
They have a free hand. They can
use any facts the board may report
and reject whatever they nno " pe a.
variance with fact. They are IN a
position to gain credit for fidelity TO
the public interests by treating the
boards work on It's merits.
They can earn applause for gong
farther than the Republicans IN ac-
cepting anything good the board may
offer, as we'll as IN rejecting anything
that ought to be rejected.
It Is to be expected, therefore. that
they will refrain from wholesale COZ
demnation and evince q readiness 10
aysil themselves Of any good sugges-
ton, regardless Of Its source.
By so. doing they will commend
themselves to the people as pubic
servants worthy Of still further trust
and confdence.-Chicago Journal.

: What Has MIR. Taft Accomplished?
Mr.. Taft has much reason to ask
himself what has been gained b. his
two months tour.
To be sure. he has broken the long
distance record for presidential trips,
made hundreds Of speeches. covered
thousands Of miles and been gazed
upon by millions Of people, all Of
which has been faithfully chronicled
by his private secretary. Evidently
>he enjoys that sort Of thing or he
would not do it. But that Mr.. Taft
has strengthened the administration
with the country or bettered his po-
litical prospects is extremely doubt
full. One certain effect Of such a per
Torrance as he has just completed
has been to cheaper the presidency
and to lower the dignity Of the Office
in the eyes Of the public.-New York

TARIFF AND THE TRUSTS
High Authority Gives Voice to opin-
Ions That the Country VIII
Do Well to Heed.

John H. Davis, head OF the bank.
ing house OF John H. Davis & Co.,
believes that the long session Of con-
gress that will convene soon need not
be looked forward to with apprehen-
sion, for be believes that it will take
rational action upon big public cues
tions, including consideration OF
legislation to regulate trust" activt.
ties and probably a reduction of the
tariff. In the November circular OF
his house he says:
What the country seems to be los
ing sight Of is the obvious truth that
the root Of the American trust evil
is the protective tariff law. Our trusts
are effects and not causes. They are
the direct outcome Of the tariff. The
high prices by which they profit and
for which they are blamed are the re-
suits of the prohibitive duties upon
imports, without which such prices
could not be maintained no matter to
what extent monopoly might be prac-
ticed. It is most unfortunate that
this basic fact is not kept more prom
inent before the American people,
whose antitrust sentiment Is only the
expression Of revolt against high
costs.
TT is relief from the high cost OF
living that the country demands, and
the agitation should be. first Of all,
for tariff reduction. With that accom-
plished, the trust question will take
care Of ITSELF Without it. neither
prices nor monopoly will be con-
trolled. 1t may be doubted that
cheaper tobacco will result from the
disintegration Of the tobacco trust,
but 1t is certain that 1t would folio"
the lowering of tobacco duties. 1t Is
unlikely that steel products will fall
much in price If the steel trust is dis
solved, but no one will question that
they would be materially lower II the
duties on imported steel were re-
duced. Indeed, the proposition Is 80
obvious that 1t admits Of no argu.
ment. Lower the tariff and imitation
will cease. Monopoly extortion, ex'
cessive capitalization and high costs
will disappear. Competition Of the
proper sort-that Of America with the
whole world-will be restored and the
natural development Of our superior
resources and Of our commercial
ability will follow."-New York Times
