THE PEOPLE ASE TO BB POOLED st'Jves , "While Prc" ? ' . : s's : : Ilcoserclt V.'ill Ce Sails- llctl VSi "Some riiil o Action. " Trust leg-islatiou is possible , but hardly probable , r.t this session of eon- jjrcr s. A compromise bill will pass the house of representatives shorn of aU th.it will rsally curb the trusts. The bills prepared by Attorney General Kr.ox and introduced in the house of representatives by the chairman of the judiciary committee were found after consultation with the Republican man agers of the senate to be too drastic to command a majority of the votes , and a compromise bill is the result which is as harmless as a sucking dove. President Roosevelt , his attorney gen eral , the judiciary committees of con gress and the bailers cf the Republican party have all had a hand in incubat ing this innocent bill. A prodigious amount of work has been expended on it , for it is quito difficult to compose a bill that will read like a trust buster and yet be a trust shelter. That the bill is to be harmless to the trusts was acknowledged by the personal organ of the administration , the Washington Star , on Jan. K5 , when it said : "Two important facts appear today in the situation concerning 'possible antitrust legislation Urst. the legisla tion proposed by the house will not be drastic ; second , that there is disposi tion on the part of the trust interests to accept the legislation and permit ic to go through the senate if it is not of a drastic character. "Private information comes to the capitol today from trust sources thai it may be possible to reach an agree ment which will permit the ei.actment of mild legislation regulating the trusts and that if assurances can be given that the perfected bill will be of a character so conservative as to merely satisfy the president's demand for 'some kind of action' no obstacles will be" placed in the way of the bill in the senate. " These are extraordinary admissions for the Star lo make iirst. that the trusts will permit mild legislation : second end , that'rresldeut Roosevelt will be satisfied with "some kind of action. " What do you think of thatV The trusts will kindly permit congress to pass a law nominally against them selves I So here we have the Mat footed assertion by the newspaper organ of the Republican administration that the trusts own congress and dictate any and all laws they think desirable or expedient. Democratic newspapers aid orators have claimed this for some years , but it has always been indig nantly denied until at last the disgrace ful truth is admitted. But what is the matter with Presi dent Roosevelt that he should also com ? to be satisfied with any legisla tion the trusts may dictate ? Is the trust buster so anxious to be again nominated for president that "some kind of action" against the trusts will now satisfy him ? Democratic news papers and speakers have always giv en the president credit for honesty of purpose ] , whatever his shortcomings , but here we have his personal organ , which is inspired from the White Ilouse. ] acknowledging that the presi dent has joined the other leaders of his party 1 in trying to fool the j.rople nith fake legislation against the trN. ; Another eminent Republican at a crisis in the history of the country sa'd. "You can fool all the p"oplc some of the time and some of tl.o people : : ! ! the time , but you cannot fool all uf the ( * people all of the time. " It is to he hoped that the peopl ? will nol bo foohul more easily today than they were in Lincoln's time. One Way to Sialve Him O ; > eii Up. Minneapolis Trihune. The- Trusts flnvc ll e Crip. The.

Numerous protected a"itu"aciurer > were before Hie ways tiiiu means com mittee on.Jan. . ir ar.1 uing in favor ol the Loveriujr bill to enable the manu facturers to obtain drawback duties * without idoiii' " ing the imported raw material. The oill is all right , for il would enable tlie mauufacturers to sell still cheaper to foreigners without in any way injuring Americans. If .Mr. Lovcring would introduce' another bill to give the mauufaecmvrs free raw material to make goods cl.eap to us. we would applaud still iniuUv , btt his party tloos not believe in giving us cheap goo ; . . During this hearing Mr. W. K. Sea- vcr of the National Wire company said that steel billets and raw material cost about $10 less a ton abroad than at home. "Is there nay one company or corpo ration that controls the price of raw materials in this country ? " was asked by a member of the committee. "I should say yes , " replird Mr. Rea ver , "that being the United States Steel corporation. " "What has been their action toward raising or lowering pricesV" Mr. Gros- veuor asked. "Their policy has been to retain the prices at such a high level that the ir.- depenclont concerns have found it very difficult to live , " replied Mr. Seaver. In reply to a question he said. "I know it to be a fact that in spite of the enormous demand of this country cer tain companies are still holding on to the export business at prices which 1 know are very much less than thosa obtained in this country. " " 1 know that they have offeree ] win ? rods in Canada at a price which is sev eral dollars loss than they offered the- same rods for domestic use. " said Mr. Seaver in reply to a question with ref erence to foreign selling by the United States Steel corporation. Mr. Swanson of Virginia nskod , "When you sell your tinislied product do you soil it abroad at less thi : you sell it at home ? " Mr. Seaver said , "Yes. sir ; because we get the be'.ietit of the drawback. " Mr. C. II. Cramp , the great shipbuilder - builder , said that steel billets cost $27 a ton abroad uud $45 here. Thus we see the very nature of Re publican tariff laws is to encourage manufacturers to sell cheaper for ex port than for domestic use. But not one-half the goods exported at lower prices than are charged here are goods on which drawback duties are ob tained. The trusts have no excuse for most of this high handed robbery , and in fact none is necessary so long as the people vote to protect the trusts by the highest tariff wall that mankind ever saw. HELPING CUBA. The Beznoei-ncy In TJiix , HM In Every thing. GuiilxMl by a bcnsv cf Hcn r. It is aimost impossible for a protec tionist organ to play its little piece without getting out of tune with facts. Here is the Washington Test , for in stance , saying : "What has become of all that Democratic sympathy for suf fering Cuba ? Surely it was not till for political effect. " The I'ost knows full well that tLcrr- is uo suffering in Cuba now more than there is in the United States. The sug ar trust press agent occasionally manu factures a little suffering for the l.one.- fit of congress when the reciprocity chariot wheels drag heavily , but this evidence is hardly substantial enough to excite the Democrats who know it is for political effect. The Democrats , if they had the chance , would , instead , of fussing over the terms of a tjuestioiia- ble reciprocity which the party in pow- j cr is now doing , so reduce tl.o higl : protective - [ tectivo rates of the tariff that Cuba nnd all countries would Lave eqr.al ac cess to our markets. Why blame the Democrats because the reciprocity treaty is not ratified ? It Is a humbug pure ar.d simple , worked up by the sugar trust : sd of 1:0 : ad vantage to the United States and will be but little if any aid to Cuba. The Democrats forced the freeing of Cuba from the despotic yoke of Spain , and they have voted money with a free hand to aid her. If the Republicans have made any secret pledges to Cub ? , they have the political power to re deem them. If aid noedpcl fem : the Democrat's to carry out tlie jledges , let the Republicans disclose wl.at the pledges are and who made then : . ar.rt if the United States is hound 5i : Loner to redeem t'.soin the Democrats will be found ready to protect the honor of their country.
