v The Commoner. VOLUMB3,NUMBE3R9. 14 ?" B r oru" out StoutBvlllo (Mo.) Banner: Attorney Gonoral Knox flays tho administration is satisfied with tho anti-trust legisla tion. It is easily satisfied. Paulding (0.) Democrat: The Itoosevolt-Knox conception, of public ity for trusts is evidently something -tfictly privato and confidential. Plor0pnrMoftLJ.ournaI-Horfld:n and the Cubans dofil S to Cuba to oxpoct a hold-up or a booffi.UGtuor Anolca (Minn.) Frco Press: Tho re publican party is introducing gag rule in tho Philippines. If successful there, it will bo put in practice in the United States later. Sharpsburg (Ky.) World: Tho dem ocratic party will nominate a man for tho presidency whoso domocracy need not bo cortiflod to by tho republican organs and leaders. Stoubonvillo (0.) Gazotto: Hanna has a follow-feollng for Addicks which is but natural. Hanna had a little of tho Addicks sort of exporlonco about fivo years ago himself. Tiffin (0.) Advertiser: Knox says the so-called anti-trust law suits him. That boing so, it follows that it suits tho trusts, or thoy would not have permitted it to becomo a law. Auglaize County (0.) Democrat: Tho mlik and water laws passed by congress to control tho trusts sug gest tho words "secretary for tho cor porations" as a fitting titlo for tho now cabinet officer. Chillicotho (0.) News-Advertiser: And tho United States steol corpora tion goes right on gobbling up the in dopondont mills. If it can't gobble them it crushes them. Yot tho Elk 4ns bill is now a law. ? Linnous (Mo.) Bulletin: Demo cratic principles, honestly enforced, insure a fair chanco to tho working people tho real people. It seems to us thoy never needed a fair chance more than thoy do right now. David City (Nob.) Press: Tho chair man of tho Indiana stato centrai com mittee says David B. Hill will bo a candidate for president. If ho,is nom inated there will bo a great many oth er "democrats still -very still." Lowiston (111.) News: It wo wore giving advice that wo knew tho nation would accept, wo would say: "De stroy tho trusts and the nation will rise Phoenix like from tho ashes of tho past 'seven years, and blossom like & roso." Youngstown (0.) Vindicator: The Fifty-seventh congress managed to get rid of about two billion dollars of the ipublic'8 money. The taxing of people through protective tariff, which raises a good revenue, is a temptation to be extravagant in expenditure. Hastings (Nob.) Democrat: If tho money question is dead, wo are unablo to account for the dozen or more finan cial bills introduced in the laBt con gress to remedy the evils existing. "Why should republicans seek to change a good financial system, re publican made? Moulton (la.) Sun: Attorney Gen eral Knox says the administration Is satisfied with the anti-trust legisla tion. Of course It is. President Roosevelt-is a candidate for re-election and .cannot be expected to do anything to injure tho corporations to whom he looks for next year's campaign, funds. Mansfield (0.) Shield: The lobby Icept at Washington by the trust mag nates is entitled to hold a jollifica tion, now that congress has ad journed, for it certainly succeeded In preventing the passage of any legisla tion that might ombarrass its employ ers. Tho trust magnates no doubt ap preciate tho good work and will bo liberal in fixing the stipend. Van Wert (0.) Times: The differ ence between the republican party and tho democratic party is that tho re publicans are fearful of hurting the trusts they care nothing for tho la boring man whilo the democratic 18rtY. is tho friend of tho laborer and and beliQVLlargely of laboring men, tho trusts. Qultff'irbing, if possible, Tiffin (0.) Advertiser: anti-trust laws and continuing the1 Dingley tariff law, the mother of trusts, shows how congress intends to continuo fooling tho public. Trusts cannot got along without the aid of a high tariff to protect them from out side competition, and give them the "home market," so that they can con tinue to rob tho American consumers of trust-made products. Boono (la.) Democrat: We desire t) add that tho democrats who have tho best right to name the next nom inee of tho party are they who stayed with the party through thick and thin, and did not desert it when in its greatest need. Those fellows who remained away in the last two cam paigns aro welcome back, but should be satisfied to occupy tho mourners' bench for a little while? at least. Lawrence (Kas.) Gazette: A re publican organ remarks that the dem bcratic party of late has done noth ing but obstruct. And when you come to think of it, a better work could hardly have been done. Had it not been for the chunks the democrats have been throwingunder the wheels the republicans would have run tho government band wagon over the bluff and into the river before this. Minden (Neb.) Courier: The Kan sas City platform if put in operation would be a staggering blow to "spe cial privileges," and those enjoying "special privileges" will resort to any means to keep it down. Cleveland is accorded a degree of respect, not that they admire him any more than they did several years ago, but every addi tional follower of Cleveland makes one less to rally around tho Kenans City platform. Every trust magnate, every coal baron, every railroad king, abhors that platform, including Mr. Cleveland and Mr. Hill. Aurora (Neb.) Register: That a high protective tariff fosters trusts and gives them a power to advance prices, exorbitantly, is evident from the report of Prof. Jenks on "Indus trial Combinations in Europe," made by the industrial commission in 1901. Not only aro there fewer trusts in England than in any other great man ufacturing country, but the few have little water in their capital and are practically powerloss to control prices 1 uua auureruecK's "index" table shows that in December, 1901, prices in Eng land were only 6 per cent higher than they were in July, 1896, and that thoy declined 5 per cent in 1901, while they rose about as much hero. the sacred herd of cattle from Delaware's Augean stables. Nashville News: Delaware has got rid of Addicks, but is still under the dominion of Addickslsm. Augusta Chronicle: Tho Chicago Evening Post thinks that Addicks de serves a term but not in the senate." Well, wo can live in hopes. Houston Daily Post: The man who has got Addicks' place may not be any better than Addicks, but it's a cinch that he isn't any worse. Buffalo Courier: Former congresses have done too much. The one which expired yesterday did practically nothing, and did not do that decently. Milwaukee News: However, the free and untrammeled American citizen hasn't yet been enjoined from think ing so long as ho keeps his thoughts to himself. mean ol 'cujtfews: It would be real 1904 to nominate trHC convention of the followers of the g. 0.

It's those tw are uu our unesu ngur, now that want to shako off. wo St Joseph Gazette: John D. Rocke feller, irritated by the oft repeated story that he has offered a million dollars for a stomach, denies it with such vehemence as to indicate that his spleen is all right Pittsburg Dispatch: Germany de nies that its sailors and officers looted the Venezuelan navy; but she omits to call on Pekin for testimony that civilized nations will not tolerate looting. - Springfield Register: President Eliot, of Harvard, declares it "a ter rible misfortune to be . born rich." Mr. Carnegie declares it a disgrace to die rich. Between the two, however, some people manage to find satisfac tion in having a small surplus. Atlanta Journal: It has been de monstrated that combines "trusts," as we now call them have existed Joplin Globe: Prof. Warner of Ber lin, in declaring that the Monroo doc trine is an empty pretension, over looked tho fact that the present ad ministration is not permanent Houston Post: Her serene alti tudinosity, Tsi Ann, evidently doesn't believe in letting her left hand know what her right hand ,doeth. In try ing to disguise barbarism to look like progress and reform she is mixing up a whole lot of trouble for herself. Wu Ting Fang should ask her a few of his famous and pointed questions. Terre Haute Gazette: Count Boni de Anna Gould Castellane has arrived in New York and the Gould boys are thinking of putting their legs in plas ter casts to keep him from pulling them.
