Should Be Immediate
Revision Downward.

There should be an immediate revision.
and it should be downward, unhesitating-
ly and steadily downward.
1T should begin with the schedules
which have been most obviously used to
kill competition and to raise prices in the
United states arbitrarily and without re-
gard to the prices pertaining elsewhere
in the markets of the world; and it should
before it is finished or intermitted, be
extended to every item in every schedule
which affords any opportunity for monop-
oily for special advantage to limited
groups of beneticiaries, or for subsidized
control of any kind in the markets or
the enterprises of the country; until spe-
cial favOrs of every sort shall have been
absolutely withdrawn.
There has been no more demoralizing
influence in our politics in our time than
the influence of tariff legislation. the in
fiuence Of the idea that the government
was the grand dispenser of favors. the
maker and unmaker of fortunes. and of
opportunities such as certain men have
sought in order to control the movement
Of trade and industry throughout the
continent, 1t has made the government A
prize to lie captured and parties the
means Of effecting the capture. Ii has
made the business men of one of the
most virile and enterprising nations in
the world timid fretful, full Of alarms:
has robbed them of self confidence and
manly force, until they have cried out
that they could do nothing without the
assistance of the government at Wash

Not a Partisan
Or Personal Fight.

I've should go into this campaign con-
fident of only one thing-conident of
what we want to do if intrusted with the
government. 1t is not partisan fight
we are entering upon. We are happily
excused from personal attacks upon OBJ
ponents and from all general indictments
against the men opposed to us The facts
are patent to everybody; we do not have
to prove them: the more frank among
our opponents admit them
ITO be free is not necessarily to be
wise. But wisdom comes with counsel.
with the frank and free conference of
untrammeled men united in the common
interest. Should l be intrusted with the
great office of president, | would seek
counsel wherever it could be had upon
free terms | know the temper of the
great convention which nominated me: |
know the temper of the country that lay
back of that convention and spoke
through it. l heed with deep thankful
ness the message you bring me from it
feel that l am surrounded by men
whose principles and ambitions are those
of true servants of the people | thank
God, and will take courage"

things about the movement Of prices that
concern us very deeply, and TX our az
tention upon the tariff schedules with
more definite determination than ever 10
get to the bottom of this matter we
have been looking into it and we begin 10
see very clearly what at least some OF
the methods are by which prices are
fixed We know that they are not fixed
by the competitions of the market, or by
the ancient law of supply and demand.
The high cost of living is arranged by
private understanding.
Il am not drawing up an indictment
against anybody This is the natural his
tory of such tariffs as are now contrved.
Nobody in particular, suppose. IS TO
blame, and l am not interested just now
in blaming anybody. The fact is that
the trusts have been formed. have gained
all but complete control of the larger
enterprises of the country

groups of manufacturers demanding spe-
cial recognition and consideration.
Il say nothing for the moment about
the policy of protection, conceived and
carried out as a disinterested statesman
might conceive it. Our own clear con-
viction as Democrats is, that in the last
analysis the only safe and legitimate OBJ
ject of tariff duties, as of taxes of every
other kind is to raise revenue for the
support of the government; but that is
not my present point We denounce the
Payne Aldrich tariff act as the most con-
spicuous example ever afforded the coun-
try of the special fayors and monopolistic
advantages which the leaders of the Re-
publican party have so often shown them
selves willing to extend TO those to whom
they looked for campaign contributions

Confederacies But
Natural Outgrowth.

There is nothing illegal about these
confederactes, so far as | can perceive
They have come about very Laturally.
generally without plan or deiberation,
rather because there was so much money
to be invested and it was in the hands.
at great financial centers, of men ac-
quatnted with one another and intimately
associated in business, than because any
one had conceived and was carrying out
plan of general CONTROL but they are
none the less potent a force in our eco
nomic and finacial system on that ac-
count They are part of our problem
Their very existence gives rise to the
suspicion of a money trust a concen-
tration of the control of credit which may
at any time become infinitely dangerous
to free enterprise. If such a concentra-
ton and control does not actually exist.
1t is evident that it can easily be set up
and used at will. Laws must be devised
which will prevent this, if laws can be
worked out by fair and free counsel that
will accomplish that result without de
stroying or seriously embarrassing any
sound or legitimate business undertaking
or necessary and wholesome arrange
ment.

Anti Trust Laws
Make Trusts Fat.

The general terms of the present Fed
eral anti trust law forbdding 'combina-
tions in restraint of trade have ap-
parently proved Intellectual Trusts have
grown up under its ban very uxuriantly,
and have pursued the methods by which
so many of them have established virtual
monopolies without serious let or him
drance. 1t has roared against them like
any sucking dove.
But the means and methods by which
trusts have established monopolies have
now become known 1t will be necessary
to supplement the present law with such
laws, both civil and criminal, as will eff
fectually punish and prevent those meth
DDS, adding such other laws as may be
necessary to provide suitable and ade-
quate judicial processes, whether civil or
criminal, to disclose them and follow them
to final verdict and judgment. They must
be specifically and directly met by law
as they develop.
But the problem and the difficulty are
much greater than that There are not
merely great trusts and combinations
which are to be controlled and deprived
of their power to create monopolies and
destroy rivals; there is something bigger
still than they are and more subtle, more
eVasive, more difficult to deal with There
are vast confederacies (as l may perhaps
call them for the sake of convenience of
banks, railways, express companies, min
ing corporations, power and development
companies and all the rest of the circle
bound together by the fact that the own
ership of their stock and the members of
their boards of directors are controlled
and determined by comparatively small
and closely interrelated groups of persons
who, by their informal confederacy. may
control, if they please and when they will,
both credit and enterprise

Representative Elect Kelley to Intro ducs Bill Concerning National Flag -Harry B. Bennstt's Romantic Mar riage-CoaI Sells at $9 Per Ton.

Representatives William P. Kel- ley of Dayville will introduce as a house bill at the coming session of the general assembly an act concerning the carrying of the national flag of the United States.
 The measure provides that whoever carries In parade, or causes to be dis played, as an emblem any other flag than the national flag of the United States, or the state flag, or whoever carries or displays the United States flag reversed, or union down, shall be punished by a fine not to exceed $50 Or by imprisonment of not less than 90 days, or both; provided, however that the provisions of this act shall not apply to parade of people of a foreign nation holding friendly rela- tions with the United States, who may carry the national flag of such nation, but such flag shall be carried only when ten feet in the rear of the Unit ed States flag.
 This act is modelled on one now in force in Massachusetts.

CHARTER REVISION
Advocated by Mayor Archibald Mac
 donald.

Action may be taken at the coming
 session of the legislature to secure a revision of the charter of the city of Putnam, which has been so often amended that it Is not as clear as is desirable in many cases that might be cited. Mayor Archibald Macdona'' is in favor of such revision. The mayor points out that conditions in the city
 have changed materially since the charter first went into effect. The city now has a sewer system, and 1t is fell
 that there Is need of charter provisions
 relating to the same, and the city now owns Its own water system, another fact that tends to require distinctivt I specifications in the charter that dC
 not at the present time exist in that | instrument.

Printing In cklna.

If reports are to be relied on, they had the art of printing in China "2,4oo years ago." It was block printing. however, though 1t Is said that they had something very like movable type in the middle of the tenth century. There may be some doubt as to the ex- act period, but there is no room for questioning the fact that for many centuries before it was known in mD rope the art was well known in China.

CHRISTMAS PACKAGES HELD.
Postmaster Dimmick Cannot Find
 Owners Because Addresses Ars Im- perfect

Among the several thousands of Christmas packages received at the local post office a few remain unde- livered as the persons for whom they were designed cannot be located, be- cause of insufficient addresses. Some of the matter was found without any address when the mail bags were opened. There were also a number of broken packages from which var ious articles became separated in the mails. A great deal of this matter has been delivered to the owners, but there still remain some articles for whom Postmaster c. H. Dimmick would like to find owners.
 There are two boxes with no ad- dresses. one contains small articles for tv)lve, apparently meant for members of one family. Cards on the same read, Alfred and Kimball from Margaret" ITO Aunt Cynthia" etc. Some of the loose articles found con- sist of a pair of knitted face towels, fancy flannel needle cushion, necktie, two strings of beads aud some toilet articles.
