DEMOCRAT , d
FILIBUSTERING SENATE
Jugglirig With the Statehood
, Bill to Kill Time.
BETBAYAL OF PAETT PLEDGES ,
Republican Platform Nullified It
WaBliide Only to Catcli the Votca
of Suckers Ilorr Important Legis
lation Is Being : Sidetracked.
The old mossback Republican sena
tors have troubles of their own these
days. The oligarchy whose word has
been law in the United States senate
find themselves opposed by a majority
who are intent on giving statehood to
the territories. The bill admitting the
territories passed the house of repre
sentatives by a large majority and evi
dently has a majority in the senate ,
but tlio oligarchy and its followers are
filibustering to prevent a vote. The
Republican national platform of 1C
declared for statehood for tlie territo
ries in the following plain laiiguagfr
"We favor the home rule for and the
early admission to statehood of the
territories of New Mexico , Arizona and
Oklahoma. "
But this national declaration of pur
pose by the Republican party is IIOAV
being ignored by its leaders , and Sen
ator Hanna said in the debate on the
bill that the admission of the territo
ries was not a political issue and no
Republican senator should be held ac
countable for the wording of the plat
form before it is an issue and had been
discussed. This nullification of planks
in platforms by the chairmen of na
tional organizations is a new move in
politics and may prove a boomerang
after the next Republican national
platform is adopted. Senator Ilanna's
statement , which appears to have been
indorsed by the Republican oligarchy ,
puts the public on notice that planks
in Republican platforms are not con
sidered binding on Republican con
gressmen who can invent any slight
excuse for evading the same.
The statement of Senator Ilanna that
the admission of the territories Is not a
political issue is the more extraordina
ry when it is known that every Demo
cratic senator favors the bill and a ma
jority j of the Republican senators are
J opposing it in spite of the expressed
declaration of their platform. If that
does not make a political issue , there has
never i been one before the senate. The
history 1 of the United States shows that
the 1 admission of territories has always
been 1 a burning political issue based on
the 1 oxpecta lion that the party favoring
admission expected the new states to
vole with them. These political ex
pectations have not always been real
ized , and in the case of Nevada."which
was admitted for express partisan pur
poses , the chickens have couic home to
roost , and the Democrats now have
the advantage of the vote of that state.
There are * however , other political
exigencies back of this prolonged fight
for the admission of the territories. If
the time of the senate is occupied with
this bill , it will exclude antitrust legis
lation and other house bills that are on
the fiennte calendar that the same Re
publican majority do not want to see
enacted. The Republican senators are
killing 1 time with the hope that the
1I
pressure of the appropriation bills will
force 1 the bill to admit the territories
off the track and also defeat for the
lack I of time the other legislation to
which they are opposed , but which
some of them do not dare openly to op
pose.
The Democrats have declared their
readiness to vote at any time , so that
J
the whole blame for delay rests with
the Republicans.

Farmers and the Trusts.
The cattlemen held their annual conti
rention at Kansas City a few days ago
ind the question of the beef trust came t
before the n. and the result of the pro-
) osed merger of all the packing houses
ivus stated to the convention as felT
ows : tl
"The raisers of live stock in this s
ountry < 'would , if such a merger corv
) oration were formed , be compelled to tl
jell < all their products to one purchaser , tl
uid that purchaser would fix the prices f
it which they would purchase and pay \
'or tTO . "
( same. n
The farmers , in the aggregate , raise v
en times the number of beef cattle tl
hat are sent to market from the frce 1
tinges of the west. The farmers are
hereforo interested in controlling the p
jcef trust , for they will be more at the tl
uercy of the trust when they market ci
heir stock. Large shippers of cattle. ,
ike the great cuttle barons of the
lains ] , will probably be able to ar-
'tingc the prices they will receive besi
'ore the steers are shipped , but the H
'armcr who takes a carload to the Chiit
ago or Kansas City stockyards i ? . ami n
all continue to bo. entirely dependent I-
pen the price that the beef trust dietl
ites. No class of citizens are more inG
'erested in trust busting than the P
armors i , and yet a majority of them t (
lontiuue to vote for the political party I of
hat is allied witli tlic trusts , !
PARTY PLEDGES.
Jrre iI * iMy Anmxii : ; ; Declaration *
of a Uopublicuti Orjvaii Grinder.
* . : i euilyrial headed "Party riedges"
in tlif vr.ishington Post , indopuud-
ent. wi.h Republican leanings , goes aft
er the t. Louis Globe-Democrat , Re-
public.u organ grinder , in the follow
ing refreshing manner :
The country has the positive and grati
fying assurance of our Intensely Repub
lican contemporary , the St. Louis Globe-
Democrzit , that "whatever remedies can
be provided by congress for restraining
the trust evil will be furnished. " On that
point , says our contemporary , "the coun
try need have no douut whatever. "
Whence the positivenoss of this assur
ance ? And v/hy is the country expected
to accept it with full conlldence and
feel that the great work is already as
good as accomplished ? If any profane
doubter has t5ie temerity to inject a ques
tion like either of those into this dis
cussion , let him be shamed , convinced
and silenced by the Globe-Democrat's
solemn declaration that "the Republicans
have promised to dtal' with the trust
ciuestion in the light of tha best legal
knowledge of the day , and they will
redeem that pledge. "
But if there should happen , in face of
all that , to be a shade of doubt or a tint
of uncertainty still lingering in the out
skirts of the mind of some obdurate po
litical agnostic , his conversion must be
assured by our contemporary's assever
ation that "one of the reasons why the
Republican party has won so many vic
tories is that it has always carried out its
promises , ijt believes that pledges by par-
tics are as sacred as pledges by indi
viduals , and it aims to fulfill all of them
in letter and spirit. "
Irresistibly amusing as that is , in the
light of facts , let no one suspect it was
intended to provoke cachinnation. Bun-
yan was not mere solemn when he was
inditing "Pilgrim's Progress , " nor Bax
ter when wrestling with "Saint's Rest. "
None of these nor any other men of
ancient or modern times were ever pos
sessed of a mora ponderous solemnity
than that which saturated the soul of the
Globe-Democrat when it gave utterance
to those remarks.
"Has a'.ways carried out its promises ? "
For proof of that read the pledge of state
hood for Oklahoma. New Mexico and Ari
zona in the Republican national platform
of 1900. a pledge put there at the dictation
of the identical statesmen who arc now
resisting the passage by the senate of the
house bill providing for the redemption of
that pledge. Is the Globe-Democrat satis
fied with that illustration of the fidelity
of its party to its pledges or would it like
to gaze on another fair average sample ?
If the latter , turn again to that platform
and read Its assurance that "the stability
of ral our currency on a gold basis has
been assured " After paying due tribute
to that proud bbust lock into the cam
paign literature a lew weeks later and see "
the men who dictated that plank confess
ing that it v/ps false. Look at the record
of thiee scss.ons of two Republican con
gresses held since that humiliating con
fession was made for evidence that the
false claim has been made good , and you
will look in vnin.
It is seldom that a party orgaii lays It
self open to such discomfiture by current
pvcms and recent history as the Globe-
Democrat experiences in this instance.
Brokan promises bestrew the pathways of
both parties , but it happens that ony ! one
pprty has had much to do with lawmak-
! ng since the Republican organization
first came into power. Under Republican
contiol'"the trust evil" has grown to
enormous proportions , and restraining leg
islation has b < ; en carefully avoided. The
country will wait with little faith for the
promised change in the Republican policy
of servility to monopolistic combines. It
may cor.e , but its advent need not be
celebrated in advance.
A THRILLING PERFORMANCE
2
Antitrust Les ; 'totlon Under Trust
Assyiecs at the Capital.
Tli2 New York Press , one of the rock
ribbed G. 0. P. organs , is a little wor- is
risd becaus ? ot" the delay of tue Re-1
publicans in passing antitrust bills. ' '
Failure to deal with the trust question
squarely and promptly , it says , will
"tip the political conditions of the na
tion bottom side up. " It then assumes
that the passage of an antitrust bill is
assured bejond a doubt , is equivalent
to a fact accomplished , aud proceeds
to congratulate its party on the good
results to follow the antitrust legisla
tion and gives special crcuit to Presi
dent Roosevelt , saying. "There are
very few influences now to dispute his
power to get the legislation enacted
which he thinks necessary. "
The Washington Post , another good
G. O. P. organ , takes an entirely differ
ent view of the matter. It tells the
Press that "there is as yet not a par
ticle of evidence that the leaders 'in '
congress desire to do anything inimical
to the interests of monopolistic com
bines. And who is tl'ore that imagines to
the power of the trusts .so decadent
that they coukl not prevent the pas
sage through the senate , between this
date and the 4th of March , of ony bill
from which they had any reason to ap
prehend trouble ? The chances are a
hundred to one against any antitrust
legislation by the Fifty-seventh con
gress. The chalices are a thousand to
one that if any so called antitrust bill .
goes through it will be as innocent as '
a bread pill or a prepared chalk imita
tion of morphine. The Press shows ' to
the credulity of one who was born yes
terday. < "
There is no reason for these two good
Republican organs to jnuarrel. The
Washington Star , the personal organ of
the president , settled matters when it
said ; on Jan. 17 "that as the trusts
were iwilling to have legislation pass
the senate , if it were not drastic , and
that as the president was not asking a
for < drastic legislation , but simply
wanted \ some kind of action , an agree-
incut would most likely be reached
with the trusts which would permit
the enactment of mild legislation regu
lating the trusts. " ' !
Antitrust legislation under the auspices - J
pices of the trusts is on the cards for
the next performance at our national
capital. or
Taxes Purposely Made Too Jligrlt.
