Intend to legislate against the trusts,
however much individual members
may proclaim that it is necessary, is
shown by the evidence of Hou. Robert
Taylor, member of congress from the
18th Ohio district, given before the
industrial commission. In his opening
remarks he declared that any attempt
to take the tariff off even trust made
goods would be bad in its effects. The
tariff principle, he said, should not be
abandoned.
As a general proposition, Mr. Tay-
lor announced himself as opposed to
trusts. "I am one of those,'1 he said,
“who have not been able to bring
themselves in harmony with the idea
that the trusts are good things."
“The trusts," he declared, "put too
much power in the hands of a few
men."
Speaking of dealing with trusts, he
said he knew of no remedy for that
evil, if it is an evil. Publicity might
be a good thing, but it would be a
mere scratch on the surface. He
knew that a trust has power to re-
duce the price of an article, but he
did not think the public would get
much benefit from that. In order to
pay dividends on securities of the
United States Steel Company that
company would have to extract a
great deal from the public.
The witness said that apart from
any other question he thought that it
would be exceedingly unfortunate to
introduce any elements of unrest in
the country by discussing tiie tariff in
congress or opening up the tariff for
any revising.
Now, Taylor, is chairman of Election
Committee No. 1, and was selected as
such because lie could be relied on to
do the bidding of those who rule con-
gress and being a friend and follower
of tiie administration, his evidence
makes it certain that there is “no rem-
edy for tiie evil" as far as the Republi-
cans intend to discover one and that
even to discuss the revising of the tar-
iff "is to introduce elements of unrest
in the country."
If Mr. Taylor represents the Repub-
lican policy on the trusts ami the tariff,
nothing will lie done to abate the
evils.
He admits there is robbery being
committed when he says the steel
trust will “have to extract a great deal
front tiie public," but he and the large
majority of protection Republicans in-
tend to sit still and see the steel trust
and the other combines “extract a
great deal from the public.” A very
cool proceeding on the part of those
who have been selected as the ser-
vants of the people to protect their in-
terests.
The Democratic position is entirely
the reverse of this. They believe that
there is a remedy to prevent the
trust from carrying out their plan
of robbing the people and that is to
revise tiie tariff by placing trust pro-
ductions on the free list except what
duties may he necessary for raising
revenue for the support of the govern-
ment—a tariff for revenue.
This will not kill tiie trusts but it
will allow the world to compete with
them by withdrawing the protection
that now gives them a monopoly.
ported into the United State* at a less
duty than the rate provided in the
Dingley tariff. Germany, who pro-
duces the same articles, under the
most favored nation clause must be
granted the same rate.
There is also another obstacle to
these reciprocity treaties, a constitu-
tional objection, that has not been ad-
judicated. but is believed by most of
*the constitutional lawyers to be a bar
to such legislation. Congress cannot
delegate its power to raise revenue,
which is a constitutional province of
Congress alone and such revenue bills
must orginate in the House of Repre-
seniatves, thus keeping the taxing
power in the hands of the direct repre-
sentatives of the people.
To revise the tariff law by making
reciprocity treaties is a makeshift that
does not touch the protection granted
the trusts and monopolies and those
who advocate it are attempting to still
protect these giant coi porations. As
the trusts are selling their produc-
tions in Europe for less than they are
obtaining from our own people, they
no longer need protection and their
products should he put upon a tariff
for revenue basis or even placed on the
free list that competition may benefit
all alike.
TARIFF LEGISLATION AND THE
TRUSTS.
The Democratic tariff doctrine has
always been "tariff for revenue."
Sometimes it has swerved further to-
ward free trade by saying “tariff for
revenue only" and then once the pen-
dulum swung backwards and inciden-
tal protection was added. This waa
before the era of the trusts and com-
bines.
The last Democratic platform de-
clared the following doctrine: “Tariff
laws should be amended by putting
the products of trusts upon the free
list, to prevent monopoly under the
plea of protection.”
As soon 'as the 57th congress meets,
therefore, a bill must be introduced
lines; that is, by placing articles o'n the
ltnes, that is, by placing articles on the
free list that are monopolized by the
trusts and reforming other schedules
to a tariff for revenue basis in a way
that will be acceptable to the legiti-
mate business interests.
Such a bill should receive support
from those Republicans who really in-
tend to curb the trusts and are not
merely intent on making political cap-
ital by pretending to legislate against
them.
THE FPHERJIAX AND TIIE LIE.
From the King: There was once a
fisherman. And of course he went
a-fishing, for no one expects a fish-
erman to go out shooting rabbits. And
he caught two little fish, and they
were so small that he threw them hack
again. And he went home without
any, and did not stop at the fish-
monger's to buy large ones. And his
wife said to him: “Where are the
large fish?" and he said: “There are
none." And she said: "And where
is the lie about the twelve-peund
trout?" And he said: "I have not
one." Then hi's wife said: "I do not
believe you have been fishing at ail,
but have been to the races and lost
a lot of money and are afraid to tell
me. I think It is cruel, and I shall
go home to mother.” And she wept
for a long time, and was only per-
suaded by a diamond ring that he
was telling the truth.

the necessary truth.
■ayings that he has won especial di(.
tinctlon. Not long before he sailed
for Europe he was a guest at a public
dinner. On his left sat a young man
who had contracted the habit of pro-
fanity, and the habit was so strong
| that it had got beyond his control.
The young man had a particular weak-
] ness for the expression, “Oh, the dev-
il!” He used it thoughtlessly and
without intention to give offense, but
it seemed to serve as a sort of punc-
i tuation for every sentence he uttered.
Finally a friend of the young man
thought it necessary to give him a
hint, and said to him: “'You’d better
1 be a little careful of your expressions.
You're sitting next to the Rev. Dr.
| Leighton Parks.” “The devil!” said
the young man in surprise. And then,
recovering his presence of mind, he
turned to the clergyman and made $
very polite apology. “Oh, you needn’t
apologize to me," said the doctor. "The
devil is no friend of mine.”

The law under which corporations
are organized in tiie state of New Jer-

repealed. Minority stockholders ha\e
no protection and from appearances
the law was created. especially to
swindle them. Public Policy says:
By its charter the United States steel
corporation may deal in its own se-
curities. which has not usually been
regarded as a proper function of corpo-
rations. It may or may not pay any
dividends on the common stock, no
matter what the profits may lie. and
tiie recalcitrant stockholders will get
no consideration; he can see the. books
as much as the statute, the board of
directors or the whole body of stock-
holders permit.
Now is not that a nice corporation
to own stock in? If any one buys any
of it and knows of these restrictions
and loses his money he has only him-
self to blame, except that rascally leg-
islature that passed a law that allows
such a trust to he organized.

POLITICAL COMMENT.
A Canadian newspaper tells us that
the French statesman, M. Jules Sieg-
fried, says not long ago when he was
at the White House, President Mc-
Kinley admitted that he was no longer
an ultra protectionist, “the time for
heavy protection has passed," are his
quoted words. The president evidently
sees that the tariff must be revised,
but how to do it, that is the question.
What a row it will raise. The Ameri-
can Protective League and the Home
Market club will be on the warpath
and the protected trusts. Well, we
shall see.
And now comes Senator Chauncey
M. Depew and joins in the third term
chorus, he says McKinley is the only
man against whom there is no opposi-
tion. There is no doubt some truth in
this, the trusts, combines, corpora-
tions, especially the railroads, want
McKinley as long as he is so complai-
sant to their interests. A strong gov-
ernment that will put down strikes
under the name of a republic but
really an empire, just suits them.
They are under the present adminis- I
tration the oligarchy that controls the
United States and the senator is their
mouthpiece.
The Cubans do not take kindly to
the dictation of Secretary Root, but a
little more “influence" brought to bear

Perhaps it would be advisable for
the American Protective Tariff League
to keep an eye on Brother McKinley
unless they rely on Hanna to keep him
in the straight and narrow protection
path.

RECIPROCITY AND TARIFF RE-
FORM.
The attempt of President McKinley
to reform the tariff by reciprocity
treaties was stopped by the United
States senate refusing to ratify them
and yet there is strong evidence that
the president will persist in that line
of action. Reciprocity is a back-handed
way of revising the Dingley tariff that
can be better accomplished by
of their conquest of the markets of
the world. The logic of the situation
woifld seem to demand a revision of
the tariff to meet the new conditions
but this does not suit the protection-
ists.
Here is another traitor to the pro-
tective tariff. Hon. W. P. Hepburn of
Iowa, who at a dinner in I-ondon giv-
en to the visiting members of the New
York Chamber of Commerce, said:
"The chairman of the Republican cam-
paign committee has announced that
the tariff will be taken from all so-
called trust commodities, and our abil-
