THE ANTITRUST DECISIONS.

In treating of the results Of the anti
trust suits, especially those against the
Standard Oil and the Tobacco com
bines, Col. Roosevelt made merry over
the futility of the practical results
reached. He pointed out that the stocks
entering into the Standard Oil combi-
nation increased immensely in value
upon the PRONUNCIATION of the court
Judgment of dissolution, He made his
point directly against Attorney.General
Wickersham, holding him in derision
and pointing out the Gas he supposedly
infinitely more satisfactory results on
the suit dissolving the Northern Socuri-
ties merger which was prosecuted and
determined during Roosevelt IS incum-
bency of the Presidential office.
This gave Mr.. Wickersham his oppor,
tunity, and his reply is overwhelming.
Mr.. Wickersham shows that precisely
the Same principles were followed in
the Judgment in the Standard Oil and
| Tobacco trust cases as in the Judgment
in the Northern Securities merger. Not
only this, he shows that Immediately
after the court dissolved the Northern
Securities holding company, the rail.
road stocks held by the dissolved con-
cern rose in market value. precisely as
the stocks in the Standard Oil com
bination have risen. And so Attorney
General Wickersham scored heavily on
Col. Roosevelt. But really this is not
hard to do; for Roosevelt has no defi
mite line of augmentation, and his con
clusions and assertions are stated with
a disregard to facts, precedents, and
actual results that make 1t easy fol
anyone having knowledge of the case in
citation to overwhelm him with tho
true presentation of the record.
Col. Roosevelt derisively taunted the
Attorney General with the fact tina,
his favorable judgment dissolving the
Standard Oil monopoly resulted i'm
mensely to the benefit of the concerns
involved in that monopoly, and cited
the Northern Securities case as one
that was ideal, and was prosecuted tc
a finish under the Roosevelt Presiden
| lldI y Anu uuN, WbSH lux
Attorney General is able to bring for
ward the fact, which indubitably is the
fact, that the cases Roosevelt reviled
were all precisely on a par not only as
to the principles involved, the policy
relied on. and the results reached, will
the case he claimed as his own and held
up as ideal, it would seem as though
there was nothing further that Col
Roosevelt could do iu this matter ex
cept to proclaim that Mr., Wiclsersham
is well-qualified member Of the
Ananias club. But this answer has be
come SO stale, and it has so often Gov
cred Roosevelt with confusion as show
ing that he himself is the Ananias, thai
it no longer has the former effect upor
the public mind.
The overthrow Of Roosevelt in this
contention is all the more enjoyable tc
the impartial public, in that he ex
pressly invited that overthrow by hi!

1t has become the habit of the Amer
lean people (based upon bitter and
disastrous experienccs) to dread the
idea of the election of Democratic
President, as likely to smash values
and crush industry, as the election of
Cleveland did in 1892. But quite the
contrary is the expectation in the elec-
tion of Republican Presidents; it is
taken for granted that good times will
ensue; that business will be brisk and
industry prosperous. The lesson is easy
