The day of the week to be selected
for the coronation of Edward VII, in
the coming year, is a subject of specu

been crowned on Sunday since the
time of Queen Elizabeth, and only one
coronation In English history took
place on Friday. It is safe, therefore,
to exclude those two days from any
prediction concerning the stately ceremonial.

The sword, which has had so long
and so distinguished a military record,
has been placed on the retired list
British army authorities have decided
that in the future unmounted officers
shall carry carbines instead of swords
during manoeuvers and in active serv
ice. The decision is the result of ex
perience gained in the war in South
Africa. The sword is not only use
less as a weapon, except in close
quarters, but it serves as a mark to
distinguish the officer from his men.
He thus becomes a target for the en-
emv's sharpshooters, and when the
private soldiers have small power of
initiative, as is the case in most Euro
rean armies, the loss of a large num-
Kr nf officers mav mean disaster. The
passing of the sword is one of the
signs of the changed conditions ol
war.
An automobile savings bank Is the
latest French novelty. The authorities
of Mezleres, wishing to encourage
thrift among the peasants, have had
it built to specifications. . It is an elec
trie motor-car containing four seats,
one for the driver and three in the
rear arranged arouno a small table,
Folding shelves make a convenient
desk for a person standing beside the
vehicle. Under the table is a small
safe. The passengers are two clerks
from the local treasury department
and a cashier. The car travels about
the country, making short stops in the
villages on prearranged days, and re
ceiving such sums as the citizens or
fanners of the neighborhood may wish
to deposit So far, however, the inno
vation nas met little encouragement
The peasants seem distrustful of the
agility of the bank, and disinclined to
draw out the old stocking irom its ma
ing place under the hearthstone.

The bead of tbe lace department in a

laughed at the Idea of being 111 or even
nervous; but she was tired, and for
ten rears had not slept in a real bed.
In one apartment house, in order to
keen her room fitted to receive callers,
she slept on a sofa that opened in the
middle, and had neither sides nor foot
board. Six out of seven nights the
covers pulled off her feet At another
nlace her folding bed fell on her and
nearly killed her, so she traded It for
a narrow divan, from which pillows
and blankets slipped off nightly. At
tbe hospital she finally found a bed
wide enough to sleep In crosswise, a
bed by day as well as by night, a bed
tuckable, with a bolster and counter
pane; and she stayed In It for two
weeks. In countless case the make
believe bed la the symbol of a sham
and comfortless existence for which
apartment life Is largely responsible.

The Protective Tariff league, whose
publication bureau is just cow espe
cially active in denouncing any repub
licans who favor a revision of tbe tar
iff is also informing its devotees that
there are trusts in free-trade England,
and therefore it can not be protection
that breeds trusts or fosters them so
that something else must be looked tor i
that is the "mother of trusts."
This view of the matter is comment
ed on by the Washington Times, which
says: "The champions of the tariff
pampered trusts in the United States
have been in the habit of meeting the
demand for the removal of duties from
trust-controlled products by pointing
to England, where, it is said, there are
many trusts flourishing under the ban
ner of free trade. That sort of argu
ment may be satisfactory to those who
are anxious to be satisfied, but it ought
not to be to one who is honestly seek
ing a remedy for what is undeniably
a very great evil.
'If the claim has ever been made
that there are and can be no trusts at
all without the aid of the tariff, the
claim has been thoughtlessly urged by
only a few not very well-informed peo
ple. Large capital and combinations
in business are nearly always an aa
vantasre to those who combine. Ob
iouslv an Individual with a million-
dollar capital can make many profit
able turns in business that are impos
sible to a man whose capital is only
five or ten thousand dollars. This is
true In England as it Is anywhere else.
'But the circumstance that large
capital has an advantage In and of it
self does not prove that it is wise to
Increase the advantage by relieving it
of all comnetition and giving it a com
lt mnnnnnlv hw tariff laWS Which
operate directly to that end. To lllus
trate: If an English trust unreason
ably advances the price to the con
sumer, foreign goods will at once come
in and bring the price down again. In
the United States the price may be set
un 25 or 30 per cent and still the for
eign goods can not compete for the
protection of the American consumer
The result is that the English trusts
are forced to content themselves with
Drofita no greater than flow naturally
from the advantageous working of
their larger capital; while the Amerl
can trust not only has this advantage,
but a very much greater one In tbe
tariff which enables them to charge
the American consumer 25 or 30 per
cent more than the same goods are
worth in the world's markets. The
man who does not see the difference
between the two cases must be either
wilfully blind or most woefully stupid
It is the artificial bolstering of the tar
iff that has literally made the United
States the home of the trusts, and has
swollen them to such proportions that
the greatest combinations in England
look like babies by comparison.

FRKE TRADE A REPCBLICAN MYTH.
The standing charge of the protec
tionists against the democratic policy
of tariff reform is that it is free trade
and the manufacturers would be ruined
by it by the influx of foreign goods
made by pauper labor and that the
wages of our woiklngmen would have
to be reduced to the same level to be
able to compete with them. This
charge has been so persistently made
that many people who do not do their
own thinking have been led to believe
It. But the platform of every demo
cratic convention from the first one in
1840 to the present time have all de
clared for a tariff for revenue, except
in 1868, when "Incidental protection
was added. In 1872 the tariff questioa
was remitted to congress, that being
the year that Mr. Greeley was the
candidate, he always having been a
protectionist.
The last democratic piatrorm ae
clared for placing the products of the
trusts on the free list, which so far as
the steel trust Is concerned has been
approved by many republicans, and
such a bill was introduced in the last
congress.
From this It will he seen that tbe
democratic party has never declared
for free trade, for such a policy Is Im
possible without a most radical change
In raising the necessary revenue for
the unnort of the government Free
trade would mean to close the custom
houses and either greatly Increase the
Internal revenue taxes or a direct tax
on the states. The Wilson tariff bill,
which Is the only democratic legisla
tion on the tariff since 180, reduced
the tax on necessities and added the
Income tax, which was declared un
constitutional by the supreme court.
though Its previous decisions had been
uniformly the other way.
Democratic tariff reform, as condi
Hons at present exist, would place th?
productions of trusts on the free list
and would reduce the tariff on artlclei

tinue the present tax on luxuries. That

It is a Standing argument of the
Republican spellbinder and Republican
newspaper that when their party is in
control the country Is prosperous,
while disaster always follows In th
wake of a national Democratic victory,
says the Washfngtoj Times. The
great OuJcvUuU to ihiS argument
that it is not true. It is a claim that
will not bear scrutiny in the light of
the country's pat history. There have
been some exceedingly unfavorable
conditions In the United States with
the Republican party in absolute con
trol of national affaire. The panic of
1873 came with the Republican power
at its height, and Republican policies
in full force. There was not even a
remote prospect of any change. Gen
eral Grant had just been re-elected and
had nearly a full term to serve. Apd
yet the financial storm swept the coun
try like a tornado, and there never
was a complete recovery until consid
erably more than a score of years had
passed. 1
There was another smaller panic In
1881-82, and the whole period between
1S73 and 3S93 was one of very general
depression, subject only to temporary
and spasmodic revivals. This Is a
matter of economic history, and the
cause of the troubles has been made
the subject of the most exhaustive in
vestigations on both sides of the At
lantic. During all of this period the
policy of the country was exclusively
Republican, for the Democrats never
controlled both houses of congress and
the presidency at the same time, and
consequently were unable to place a
Democratic measure upon the national
statute books.
The panic of 1893 likewise came with
every vestige of our economic legisla
tion of Republican enactment The
only Democratic measure we have had
since the civil war was the Wilson
tariff, and this was not enacted until
about fifteen months after the financial
storm broke. The great moneyed In
terests of the country Insisted that
the panic was caused by the Sherman
law, a distinctly Republican measure,
and during the debate on the repeal
bill Senator Sherman declared in the
senate that If the law were repealed
(that. Is. the purchase clause of it)
prosperity would return In t?n days.
The repeal bill passed, but prosperity
did not return in ten days, or in ten
months, or in five years. And when
the campaign came on in 18&6, forget
ting their former declarations, the Ke
publlcan leaders asserted that the con
tinued bard times were owing partly
to the Wilson tariff, and partly to the
silver agitation: but they conveniently
omitted to explain what caused the
trouble before the Wilson law was
enacted and before the silver agitation
began.
The panic of 1893 was, In fact, a
forced one, brought on by President
Cleveland and Secretary Carlisle, in
r-iinninn with the New York bank
ring, for the express purpose of giv
ing the country an "object lesson," and
thus forcing a repeal of the Sherman
law. The effort was eminently suc
cessful in all respects except in restor
ing prosperity. In carrying out this
delectable scheme, as Is well known,
Mr. Cleveland put himself outside the
pale of true Democracy, and straight
In line with the current of Republican
thought There might and probably
would have been some irouoie even
without this artificial forcing of the
panic, for the business stagnation was
almost world wide, ana we couia uoi
reasonably hope entirely to escape;
but the panic would not have come
when It did or have been so severe.
When the revival came, that also was
ntprnatlonal in character, the cnange
appearing in Europe about a year be
fore It did here. But our main puryi
now Is merely to show how unfounded
is the claim that we always have pros
perity under Republican policies.
It used to be an axiom that compe
tition is the life of trade, but now that
competition has been eliminated in
many lines of business It will be nec
essary to revise the truism and say
that monopoly is the only trade condi
tion that will assure good profits. The
manufacturer is fast being absorbed
into the trust, the small trader is ba
ir .in,(j o" y th (lnari ment store,
the competing railroad is a thing of the I
past and even the high seas are to be ,
controlled by the transportation com
bine by the purchase of all the steam
ships. These combinations are all being
perfected and some like tbe steel trust
and tbe bard coal trust are ronsumat
ed and the work of robbing i.e peo
ple under the guise of the law is w?r
under way.
The people have be:n too busy try
ing to adjust themselves to this new
order of things that they have so far
given but little attention to the
changed political conditions that have
accsmpiished this economic revolu
tion. They have allowed their repre
sentatives to enact laws under which
these combined are organized and are
maintained as monopolies.
It vill be a long and arduous task to
undo the harm already done.but it can
be accomplished by reversing the lever
and repealing the laws that authorize
these gigantic corporations or by ta
king from them the special privileges
and immunities they now enjoy.
The tariff protection can be revised.
That will Introduce competition
against such as the steel trust.
The Interstate commerce law can be
amended to compel all lines of trans
portation to give equal rights to alt
shlnners ereat and small and that
charges must be reasonable.
Taxation can be equalized so that
corporations may be assessed at the
cash value of their stock and fran
chises so that they may be taxed the
game as the farmer and the small
trader and householder.
To accomplish this the people must
elect nubile servants who are their
friends instead of as now the compli
ant tools of the corporations and the
rich and powerful. The President must
be an anti-trust man and thus an at
torney general will be found who will
prosecute the trusts. Whereas dur
ing the republican administration he
has been selected from the chosen
trust lawyers.
Congressmen and senators who have
shown themselves to be the willing
tools of the corporations must be de
featcd and friends of the people elect
ed in their stead.
Moreover, as the trusts and corpora
tions are the creatures of the states,
the laws under which tbey are organ
lzed mugt be repealed or modified, thi
is the sole business of the state legis
latures and is quickly accomplished
the people are determined to protect
themselves. Without tbe sovereign
power of the state of New Jersey the
steel trust could not exist, unless some
other state should be equally subserv
lent to the money and power of tbe
trusts.
The trusts and corporations have
not begun to put forth all their power,
they are feeling their way until they
can he sure of maintaining their mo
nopoly. As it Is now the few who
control them have absorbed more than
half of all the wealth of the country
and are rapidly gathering In the ma
jor part of the remainder. Every day
the coming battle Is postponed, the
procrastination of the people makes
the fight more difficult to win.
Money is power, and the trusts and
corporations know It. Their avarice,
rapacity and greed will irrease as
their power expands. Now or never
Is the time to strike for economic freedom.

The National Association of Manu
facturers, which has IIS neauquanens
In Philadelphia, Is about to Issue a call
for a national reciprocity convention.
The diBpatcb, which announces this,
also says that this action is taken as
the result of dissatisfaction among
manufacturers who are In the export
trade, and that congress at IU next
session will be ashed to give the de
sired relief. The dispatch goes on to
conclusion In these words: The
sentiment of the manufacturers, says
Pr.itiiont Senrch. Is In favor of se
curing treaties of commercial reciproc
Ity with other countries, with a view
to the extension of America's trade In

HARK II ANNA AND CORRLTTIOX.
Just before the last national elec
tion Mark Hanna visited Nebraska for
the avowed purpose of beating Mr.
Bryan in his own state. The extraor
dinary prosperity that suddenly fol
lowed his visit and the number of po
litick strikers of all parties that ex
hibited bank rolls was noted at the
time. There Is no doubt that the
strumpet of corruption stalked In na
ked horror through tbe land and the
democrats claimed that the middle-of-the-road
populists were some of the
strumpets. The evidence that at least
tbey were In tbe market and were will
ing to accept offices at the hands of
Hanna has now come to light, for the
Commoner says: "In tha last cam
palgn Kie republican pspers denounced
democrats and populists for co-oper
ating against the common enemy
Both parties were accused of sacrific

Ject Is mentioned at this time because
D Clem Deaver, a Nebraska politician
who had charge of the middle-of-the-
road populist csmpslgn In the west,
has recently received at the hands of
PresltOnt McKlnley a substantial re
ward for opposing fusion. A republic
an by tbe name of Dickson severely
criticised Mr. Denver's appointment
on tbe ground that Mr. Deaver wss
not a republican. In reply Mr. Deaver
gave this explanation of hi appoint
meat:
t have no desire personally to an
war the strictures of Mr. Dlckion, but
aa a matter of record I with to say
that mr application for apno3tmant to
the? have not participated to any great
extent in the promised prosperity that
the trusts are enjoying. Hanna nas
persuaded them that under reciprocity
they will get their share of tbe good
thines going and that they must bring
nrefcstire to bear on these recalcitrant
Republican senators who oppose the
nlan.
Of rrmrse the legitimate ana consu
tutlonal plan of revinlng the tariff by
the representatives of the people can
not be thought of for that would open
un the whole tariff robbery to discus
sion and would "disturb business" and
perhaps lead to the elimination of the
protf.tion that, the trusts are now get
ting rich under, in an wis mere is no
word said of what would be for the
interest of the people. It Is all how
will It suit the trust or will It benefit
the manufacturers? But the people
that pay the tax are never consulted.
Tbe stock argument of the blgb
protectionist has been that when the
tariff built up an Industry, competi
tion among the Americans themselves
would then brins down the price.
Whatever may 1m i'ne theoretical force
Of this argument, It Is perfectly clear
that it cannot hold good with the
tructs In lull control of our Industries
snd competition utterly strangled.
From thi It follows conclusively that
so far as trust controlled products are
