-.Chicago Public:
republican tonat:
Bollcronto (Pn.) Domocrat: Rooho
volt and congress will attack the
trusts with bags of wind.
Iowa City (la.) Domocrat: Tho
Standard Oil trust says that It jlocs
not owo Its prosperity to tho tariff
No, Its piracy Is of tho moro direct
sort.
Roclcvlllo (Ind.) Trlbuno: No ter
ritory Is "ready for statehood" ac
cording to tho standard of Bovorldgo,
until tho republican party has a lead
plpo qlnch on It.
Suggestion for a
"Hero's to a full
dinner pall and an ompty coal bin.
Lot tho so-called trusts' alone and
stand pat, stand pat!"
Loulsvillo (111.) Ledger If organ
ized labor wcro holding up tho coal
trains tho militia would havo boon
. called out a month ago. Why should
organized rapacity bo permitted to do
tho sumo thing?
Mt. Sterling (111.) Examiner: Slnco
Socrotary Shaw Is such a good joke
mal'or, ho might try to. havo soran
practical fun at tho oxponso of Wall
street gamblors. Tho people could
enjoy a joko liko thlB for a change
Fulton (Ky.) Commercial: Wo say
to you now, got your votes roady to
kill monopoly by killing tho tariff laws
upon, which it feeds and you will
jhavo struck a blow for your fathers'
government that will tell a hundred
years hence.
Springfield (Mo.) Express: Undo
Mar It Hanna ought to havo resolved
to study and learn what just taxation
is, and then agree with Hon. Tom L.
Johnson that "a tax on wealth In any
form is better than a tax on consump
tion in any, form."
Clarksburg (Mo.) Review: Roose
velt's authority as president of tho
United States Is to bo found in the
constitution and tho laws enacted. un
der it. What constitutes his author
ity In tho Philippines? Wo answer,,
force. If any one can give any other'
answer wo'd liko to hear it.
Georgetown (Ky.) Times: Every
onco in a whllo tho information
is furnished (as it always comes from
republican sources tho information
must bo received with allowance) that
President Roosevelt is going after the
trusts. Probably. He went down to
Mississippi after tho bears, and tho
beam are fatter and saucier than ever.
Woodland (Cal.) Democrat: All
tho republican statesmen who are
working over time to serve the trusts
are making the plea that to tinker
with tho tariff may disturb business.
All business interests that are con
servatively managed and conducted
within tho law will bo benefited in
stead of injured by correcting th'e ine
qualities of the tariff.
Coldwater (Mich.) Star: Many peo
ple who voted for "protection to Amer
ican labor," and insisted that the tariff
was not "tho mother of trusts," as
Havemeyer said it was, are now pray
ing for free trade in coal as a relief
from the coal trust which has kept
"American labor" out of work for
six months rather than give it one
cent of tho "protection."
Newport (Neb.) Eagle: Queer, ain t
it?. In 1893 money was hard to get,
Lnd times were hard, and everybody
swore that the "adminiatration." as
being the cause of all our woe. But
it's hard to convince anyone that tho
"administration" is responsible for
tho period of financial depression now
existing. Queer, ain't it
Lamar (Mo.) Leader: Another re
publican exchange feels it necessary to
again remark that the silver question
is dead. But be careful, neighbor.
That same silver question is a mighty
slippery customer. Like Kipling's
Fuzzy Wuzzy, "E's all 'ot sand an'
ginger when alive, an' 'e's generally
shammin' when Vs dead."
Virginia (111.) Enquirer: Republi
can anti-trust bills are accepted by
the people of this country at their truf
value as a tricky means of currying
public favor for the presidential cam
paign next year, without in any man
ner endangering the evil monopolies.
American voters will look to tho
democratic parly for trust restriction
through a wise revision of the tariff. ,
Somerset (N. J.) Messenger: The
republicans have a clear majority in
both hpuses, and they will bo held ac
countable for w .at is. f ?ue. Tho dem
ocratic minority can only battle to
have its provisions made as drastic as
possible, so that when they become
the majority and the duty of enforce
ment falls on them they may have -something
upon which, to work. In
the meanwhile :the trusts. :need . have
no immediate, fear of danger; .The-,
democrats have not the power-, to ;passr;
an effective restraining measures- and :
the republicans have not the 'inclina
tion. Jackson (0.) Herald: Our republi
can friends are continually boasting .ot
the vast amount of money which is
rolling, into the treasury and conclude
that because of this the country is
really prosperous. Now, it is only nec
essary to ascertain where this money
comes from in order to understand
the .situation. When the. people are
paying more taxes than a national leg
islature can spend, try they ever so
hard, then it is time to know who is
footing the bill. We should like to
know if the spending of vast sums of
money is the highest type of- statesmanship.
