trust AS the climax of all. and the ne
cessity Of returning the government as
he said. TO the hands of the people.
lie asked tbs support of all, Republic
cans and Democrats alike. In doing
this.
The Dingiey tariff law, he said, by
raising tho tariff high enough to elm
mate foreign competition. opened the
way for the trusts. In describing their
rapid growth since 1897, when the Ding
ley law was passed. tho Senator said
trust capitalization had increa sed over
81 per cent during the four years OF
the preceding ;idministra ton. despite
the fact that Il number OF prosecutions
had been begun. BY that time they
had become SO strong that they dcfcd
prosecution.
Alexander Hamilton, Henry Clay
and William Mckinley" said Senator
Toilette, would never have spok en-
OF the tariff as they did 81 there had
been competition. The standpatter to-
da.' Is the worst enemy of the protec-

Republican party
"A true American believes In demo-
cracy. Ee believes men and women are

Believe Emperor Spirited Away.

Washington. ID. C.. January AL
though without formal advIces on the
subject, the State Department officials
arc inclined to believe that China's in
FAINT Emperor probably the last of his
dynasty. already has been spirited
away from Picking by his father,
Prince Chung. and is now being con-
vcycd to the summer residence of the
court at Jehol about $50 miles north
east of Peking in the province OF
Chilli, or is bound for the ancient
Manchurian capital of Hardin.
The future bearing OF the place OF
residence chosen for tho young Fin
peror is believed 10 be really impore-
ant. If he should he reared Mt Jchol,
he would be under essentially Chinese
influence, and might he in position to
aspire to the throne again when he
attains maturity If the republic should
fall into difficulties.
But In Hardin the young Emperor
would be dominated by Russian iufu :
ences and might be used as d pawn
on the chessboard of Manchurian
diplomacy, perhaps. being given n
nominal rank under Russian suze-
rainty in abou. the position occupied
by the Emperor of Korea.
1t was probably easier to get the
young Emperor out of Picking than Il
will BIO to remove the great treasure
which the throne has accumulated in
the Forbidden City. That is estimat ed
to amount TO as much rs 10000, 900.
AS most of the treasure Is in the shape
of gold bullion and silver nuggets
weighing several ounces each. cast into

ical tlifficultie: oil transferring this
