| impression that the Democratic speak
ers and writer's seek to convey, by in
+, ference or by direct statement, that all
| trusts are upholders of protective
| tariff, is by no means true.
Two conspicuous examples will
serve to illustrate the fact that free
trade or a low tariff may be more
! favorable to the creation of monopoly
than is a proteetice tariff which pro-
notes competition by encouraging do
mestic production. One of these is
afforded by the case of sugar; the
other by that of coffee. The CHIEF
advocates, and in fact the only active
advocates, of the free sugar bill which
tn Democratic leaders attempted re-
Gently To force through Congress are
the refiners of raw sugar-the Sugar
Trust and the three or four indepen-
dent refining companies. The reason
is found in the fact that since the en-
actment of the Dingley law in 1897 the
production of sugar from beets, an in
dustry which they do not and cannot
control has grown very rapidly and
its competition is more and more Sc
verely felt by them. This is clearly
shown by the testimony of Edwin +.
Atkins, President of the American
Sugar Refining Company, before the
which spent several months last year
in investigating the sugar business.
At that time Mr.. Atkins said:
"All that american grown) beet
sugar comes on the market at a GER
tain season of the year. 1t is all pro-
duced in about three months time.
California sugar comes into Chicago
and the Michigan sugar comes into
Buffalo and Pittsburg, and eastern re-
fineries, not only the American Sugar !
Company but the others, have |
to reduce or close down until the beet |
sugars are out of the way. Any re-
filming that is done between the first of |
October and the first of January is |
done without any profit, and very Of |
ten at loss"
Similar testimony was given by |
of the other refineries |
1t is to avoid the competition of the |
domestic sugar growing industry |
built up by the protective tariff, and |
to place themselves again in undis- |
market in the world, that the refiners |
are urging by every means in their |
power the abolition of the sugar tariff |
or its reduction to a point that would |
destroy the production of sugar from
beets in the United States.
Here, then, is an instance where free
trade would work directly to the |
of a trust that is gen. |
orally considered one of the most |
vicious in the country. Another |
slightly different example is afforded |
by coffee. For many years coffee has /
been on the free list. According to !
the free trade theory. therefore, COM
petition should have kept its price /
down. AS a matter of fact, however,
coffee has doubled in price in recent
years, a movement attributed to the I
operations of one of the most complete I
trusts ever organized At the present /
time the federal government is pro-
ceeding against the coffee trust in the |
courts. 1t is evident, therefore, that |
free trade is no safeguard against the I
growth of such monopolistic combina-
tions.

Might Move to Ohio
Judging From Record as Senator,
Hatfield, if Elected Might Es-
tablish West Virginias Cap
tal at Cincinnati.

The flight of the fifteen Republican
Senators from the state capital to
the city of Cincinnati last January
and their soiourn in the Ohio city,
when they should have been engaged
in the work of passing state laws
for West Virginia, cost the tax pay
ers of West Virginia more than
$4,000. The total expense of the
Legislature was a little more than
SAT, 200 and the part of it which was
expended during the period when the
legislature was at a stand still was
easily $4,000.
DIR. Hatfield, reactionary candidate
for governor was one of the fifteen
Senators who spent a portion of the
time OF the legislative session in
Cincinnati and assisted in piling up
an expense of $4,000 with no returns
whatever.
The question arises in view of this
fact whether DR.. Hatfield if he should
be elected governor and should find
himself in tight place, would move
the Governors office to Cincinnati
and stop all business at the State
Capitol until he got ready to return.

WHY A REPUBLICAN
WILL BOLT HATFIELD
To Save a Friend
Taft Bureau Asserts Roosevelt Only
Became Candidate When Steel
Trust Was Attacked.

President Taft has declared through
the National Taft Bureau which had
charge of his campaign for renomina-
ton, that Theodore Roosevelt became
candidate for President only when
the Taft administration had begun a
prosecution of the Steel Trust. The
National Taft Bureau April 26th last,
gave out a statement to the press in
which IL asserted that a few weeks
prior to that time the Taft administra-
ton instituted a suit which first
aroused Theodore Roosevelt into such
frenzy of fury against President
Tart that he announced himself a can
didate for third term as President"
The warm friendship existing be-
tween Mr. Roosevelt and the officials
of the Steel Trust and Mr.. RoOseveIts
favoritism for the trust while he was
in the White House have been mat
ters of general comment for some
time, but from no other sources than
the Taft Bureau has it been charged
that Mr.. Roosevelt became q candi-
date for the Presidency because a
prosecution had been started against
the Steel Trust.
The men who are candidates for
State and Congressional offices on the
Republican ticket are supporting Mr..
Taft and thereby concurring i'm this
statement that Mr.. Roosevelt only
became a candidate for President
when his friend the Steel Trust was
in danger. These are the men who
are calling upon the Roosevelt men
to support them and help them into
office.

"Honorables John w. Davis. VIM. G.
Brown, Adam =. Littlepage and
John NJ. Hamilton, Members Of
Congress from West Virginia,
Gentlemen
Referring TO House Joint Resolu-
ton No "A, relative TO the ante-war
debt Of Virginia, which was referred
to the subcommittee of the Judiciary
committee, of which We are members,
we have to say that among the many
matters claiming our attention, we
have been unable TO give this matter
as full consideration as we desired.
or as the importance of the question
demanded. and for that reason we can
not report il at this time. We feel
satisfied, however, as TO some of the
propositions involved.
We have no doubt from the his
torical citations made by Mr.. Hamil-
ton I'm his argument before the full
committee that the State of West Vir-
GINA was created and the consent Of
Congress and of President Lincoln
10 its creation granted because of the
military eXigencies existing at the
time and that the creation Of said
State is attributable to certain meas
ures OF war adopted by the Govern
ment as set forth by Mr.. Blaine in
his history cited in the argument.
While we have not been able to
investigate them to our full satisfac-
ton. the presidents set forth in the
argument are very strong upon the
consideration Of the question, and the
resolution and the matters therein
contained seem to come closely to, if
not entirely within, the scope of these
presidents.
I'VE can not announce our final
views at this time, but beg TO sug-
gest that one trouble about the mat
ter is that this debt is not entirely
determined. While the Supreme
Court has in a preliminary way ascer-
tanned the principal, yet the question
OF interest remains wholly unsettled:
and as the interest may, if the Court
shall so find, largely exceed the
amount Of the principal, it is apparent
mat the amount which you ask the
Government TO assume is indefinite
and undetermined, and We are clear
ly of opinion that we would not be
justified in reporting in favor of Gov
eminent assumption in advance of the
determination of the amount to be
assumed.
AS it is impossible that the total
amount OF the debt can be determined
at this time, or that the committee
can give full consideration to all the
important questions involved, at the
present session of Congress. We think
it better to defer action at this time
