Tun railroad tariff question ia the
vital quo in the west. The people do-
luaiul freer trade in the necessaries of
life. They insist on the right to market
their products without being compelled
to pay extortionate tolls to transporta
tion companies. The embargo ot rates
prevents them from shipping their corn
ntn prollt to feed the hungry herds of
cattle in the plains of Colorado nnd
AY.vomiug , in exchange for the coal ot
that ivplou. On the other hand , they
nro placed nt the moroy of the specula
tive vultures ol Chicago , nf tor one half
of the crop ia confiscated by the rail
roads. These depressing conditions
must bo removed ooforo the railroad
tariff question is eliminated from the
politics of tlio west.
TO Tnrsrs.
At last there is promise of n serious
effort in congress to provide legislation
for the suppression of ( rusts. Senator
Sherman's rev'scd ' anti-trust bill was
given n place on the calendar last week
nnd it will come up for discussion dally
until disposed of , which it is presumed
will not require n great deal of time.
The Ohio bcnntor introduced a bill last
year for n like purpose , but It en
countered conatltutlonal objections
which the present measure was
frnmca to overcome. The bill
now under consideration in
the senate declares to bo against
public policy , unlawful and void till
arrangements , contracts , agreements ,
trusts or combinations between two or
more citizens or corporations , or both ,
of different states , or ot the United
States and foreign states , having the
purpose or tendency to prevent full and
free competition in articles of produc
tion or manufactureand to advance the
cost to the consumer of any such arti
cles. It Is provided that the circuit
court of the United States shall
have original jurisdiction In till'
suits of ! i civil nature , nt
common law or in equity , arising under
this section , and the attorney general
and the several district attorneys nro
directed to commence and nrosecuto all
such cases to Until judgment and execu
tion , i
Senator Sherman , in advocating the
measure , said it did not interfere with
any lawful business. It was aimed only
at unlawful combinations , such as are
unauthorized bv any law of r.ny civil
ised nation , and the soloobject of which
was to control prices and to es
tablish substantial monopolies. Ho
referred to tlio decisions of , the
courts of several btates against the su-
g.ir and other trusts in order to show
that , in different states , the courts did
decluro trusts and comoi nations in .a
state as unlawful nnd void , and all that
the pending bilfproposcd was to em
power the courts ot tlio United States to
deal with these combinations affecting
not only several states , but the entire
world , among which are the cotton
trust , the sugar trust , the copper trust ,
the whisky trust and others. They are
all combitJF.tions , said Mr. Shormnn , of
corporations and individuals of many
states , forming- league and cove
nant under the contract of trustees , and
ho thought the best effect of the bill
would be to servo notice that combina
tions in restraint of trade and produc
tion would not be tolerated. The bill
would not affect combinations operating
within the limit-s of a single state , but
simply proposes to attack the trust evil
under the federal authority over inter
state and foreign commerce.
The discussion of this measure will ,
bear ehielly upon the constitutional
right o ! congress to provide lojriblation
of this . nature , regarding which
there is a decided difference of opinion ,
some of thosewho think congress has
not the right being undoubtedly sin
cere , while such as do not wish the
trusts interfered with find this a con
venient view. The disposition in con
gress favorable to legislation for tlio
-suppression of trusts is apparently far
more general than ever before , and the
result of this seemingly earnest attempt
to provide such legislation will bo
awaited with a great deal of interest by
all classes of the people.
VII.F.M.MA.
. . . .
It appears that it was not the inten
tion of tlio majority of the ways and
moans committee that the abstract ot
the ncyv tariff bill published lust week
should receive general circulation. Ac
cording to the clerk of the committee
the republican members thought they
had all the schedules completed and
indiscreetly authorized one of their
number , who represents the Pacilic
coast , to milIco known so much of it as
related to tlyj interests of that section.
The information was intended exclus
ively for that portion of the country ,
but once upon the wires it was
of course tent everywhere. The result
is that the committee is overwhelmed
with'protcsts and remonstrances against
Humorous features of the measure , the
effect ol which will bo n more or loss
prolonged delay in completing it. Thus
the country is again having a striking
illustration of the difficulty there is in
reforming and modifying a long-estab
lished economic policy.
One of the most vigorous and formid
able remonstrances the committee has
encountered isfromt.hushoo and leather
manufacturers against the proposed
duty on hides. Our imported hides
come ohielly from Soutli and Central
America and the Kast Indies , and for
ncnely twenty years they hnvo boon on
the free list. They amount in value to
about twenty million dollar. ) , nnd ono
result of admitting them frcn has been
to incronso our exports of leather about
ton million dollars annually. Tim shoo
and leather manufacturers insist that
the imposition of a duty would not in
the least benollt the cattle raisers ,
but would seriously injure their
business , and the lioston Ad-
ver/itter / , an uncompromising ad-
vocalo of protection , argues against the
proposed duty as so extraordinary that
it 4s hardly possible congress will adopt
It. The proposition is alsocritici/od as a
remarkable ono to bo made at a time
when wo are seeking more liberal trade
arrangements with the countries from
which wo got more than two-thirds of
the hides wo Import. Perhaps the duty
might not materially reduce the impor
tation of hid- ; * ) , but the spirit It implies
could hardly contribute to improving
the sentiment in favor of more intimate
trade relations.
The canned goods pnokomnro another
Interest from which the committee has
heard U very pronounced opposition to
the proposed duty on tin , while the
sugar schedule and the proposed change
from tjpccitlc to ad valorem duties is
being vigorously attacked by the sugar
rollnars and importers. The lumbermen -
mon nro reported to have convinced the
committee that it Is not expedient to
reduce the duty. There nro muttonnga
of dissatisfaction among the carpet
inannfaqturors with the propo&al to in
crease the duty on carpet wool
forty per cent , nnd there nro indi
cations of discontent among the
iron manufacturers of iNow England at
the refusal to pay nny attention to tholr
appeal for free raw materials.
In short , the now tariff bill has failed
to commend itself to the full approval
of nny interest , nnd whether the com-
inittoo will bo able to make it nny more
acceptable after a more prolonged con-
slder"tlon Is altogether problematical.
The k-iilty can not be ascribed to nny
lack 01 intelligence or Information on
the part of the majority of the com
mittee. Perhaps it is io bo found in
the too great concern for political or
party consldwntlons. At nny rate it
would sue in that the application of true
statesmanship to the consideration ot
this subject , with no regard for possible
political effects , but aiming solely at n
just and oquita' > lo reform of the tariff
with reference to the general welfare ,
would make the attaining of thatobject ,
which men of both parties profess to de
sire , comparatively oosy.
The house committee on foreign
affairs lust wcok agreed on n resolution
intended to encourage interest in
reciprocity with Canada. It recites
that whenever the president shall be
duly informed ofU desire on the part of
the government of the Dominion of
Canada to enter i.ito such commercial
arrangements with this country as will
result In the complete removal'of all
duties upon trade botwcon Canada and
the United States , he shall appoint
commissioners to moot with those
who may bo designated to
represent the government of
Canada to consider the best method of
extending the trade relations between
the two countries , nnd to ascertain on
what terms greater freedom of intercourse -
course cTui be best secured ,
If this resolution passes congress it Is
possible t will hnvo the effect of Induc
ing the government of Canada to seri
ously consider the policy ot entering
into the negotiations to which it points ,
but it cannot bo reasonably supposed
that at present the Canadian govern
ment or people entertain for us
the most friendly feeling. Our
proposed tariff legislation has
aroused there n great deal of apprehen
sion , which it may bo presumed is not
unmixed \\ith a sense of resentment at
what the people of Canada might bo
pardoned for regarding as an evidence
of unfriondlines3. While we are court
ing the commercial favor ot every
other country in this hemisphere wo
show a disposition to shape our fiscal
policy so as to do the greatest possible
harm to our northern neighbor. There
is an obvious inconsistency between our
professions , and our conduct in this re
spect which it would seem is moro
likely to inspire a spirit of retaliation
than encourage ono of reciprocity in
the government and people of Canada ,
However , the resolution referred to may
operate as an emollient , nnd something
of that sort may bo expedient under the
circumstances.
JUSTICE.
The pursuit and capture of the three
men implicated in the dastardly murder
of Mr. and Mrs. Jones is creditable to the
city and county officials. But much re
mains to bo done to forgo together the
various links of evidence before the
trial can proceed. For this purpose it
is absolutely necessary that the hands
of the county attorney should bo
strengthened. It is folly to expect that
he can devote to the case the time nnd
attention its importance demands when
his services are almost daily required
'
quired at the district court.
The public cannot expectoffeytivo work
from an official whose time is divided
between the civil business of the county
board , criminal prosecutions in the
district court , and slate cases in the
police courts of Omaha and South
Omaha.
Even though the law does not author-
iv.o the county board to grant assist
ance to the county attorney , public
policy demands that every means at the
command of the county bu employed to
prosecute and mete out justice to the
perpetrators of the Pinnoy farm trage
dy. The blood of the aged victims
criesoutfor vengeanceand every official
is in honor bound to use every effort nnd
spare no expense in the collec
tion of proof tin ( I in prepar
ing an impregnable line of
prosecution. Tho. safety and security
of society no less than the credit of.
Doutrlns cotln y , call for a thorough
and exhaustive inquiry into every eir-
cumsttuice , and the securing of positive
proof so us to prevent a miscarriage of
justice , _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ .
TltK determined demand of the pro
ducing classes for relief has taken form
in a number of bills introduced in con-
gross. Among those meritorious meas
ures , that of Ivoprosehtativo Uuttor-
worth strikes at the root of speculation
in agricultural products. It is not
probable that this form of gambling
can bo entirely suppressed , but the at
tendant evils can bu diminished if not
wiped out. The bill proposes to levy u
tux on option trading , without intnrfor-
ing with legitimate business. Senator
Ingalls' amendment to the Sherman
anti-trust bill Is moro radical than
thn Buttorworth bill. It pro
vides that all parsons deal
ing in options nnd futures shall
pay a license of ono thousand dollars a
year , and aU transactions must bo"rog-
isterod. In addition to the license
dealers must pay from llvo cents ti
pound to twenty cents u bushel on nil
teed products sold for future delivery.
Both HL'OIIKO and foes would uproot
speculation and annihilate the business
of traders who never handle a pound of
the article dealt In. It is doubtful if
cougro > s will go to the extreme pro
posed by Senator Ingalls , but the de
mand for national regulation of the op
tion trading business cannot , bo ig
nored. Gambling on the necessaries of
life should bo made a crime , as it Is in
jurious alike to the producers , manu
facturers and consumers.
THK Iowa state board of railroad com
missioners has lint a construction on the
Iowa railroad law which at first blush
looks I.B if it might press closely upon
the heels of interstate traffic. The
board has assumed the right to make u
local rate on lines of road between any
two points in Iowa , although the road
for a part of the distance runs into an
Adjoining 8tti/.o < Thl8 la disputed by the
railroads on Uiwgrouml titut the install
ti line IcnvosTd'wVx territory , the traffic
ever it bocorocs Interstate nnd enntio
bo controlled by > the board. The point
in question is ? likely to prove nn inter
esting oilo. $ < } loit Is n town in the ex
treme northwfi < torn part of Iowa on the
cast bank of tft&'IJijr Sioux rlvor. It is
connected witluSloiix City by n branch
of the Chicago'Milwaukee ' & St. Paul.
The rnllroauy."fh running from Sioux
City to B3loitM3ro3ses the Ulg Sioux
into. Dakota , antMt is on these facts that
"the Milwaukee' uasos its claims ntul refuses -
fuses to obey the , mandate of the board.
The case will probably bo taken to the supreme
premo court of the United States , nnd Its
solution will brinjr out more clearly the
riphts nnd limitations of ft state board
of railroad commissioners.
THE secretary of tlio Interior with
one ruthless stroke of the pen has de
stroyed an infant industry which with
proper encouragement promised to be
come n powerful agency in solving the
vexed Indian question. But Secretary
Noble has put his veto on the exhibition
of Indians in "wild west shows. " They
will no longer uo the chief features and
drawing attraction of the Rummer cir
cus. The Deudwood coach will never
more go ( Jushintr round the ring , with
a yelling band of real Indians in hot
pursuit. This is a crushing blow to thq
small boy , the peanut vendor and the
circus manager. The education of the
Indian under the inllucnco of the circus
has been altogether too rapid. Ho will
hereafter bo confined to the agencies

A STKANGI : spectacle is how wit
nessed in Washington for the first time.
It is the train of suppliants coming
from all parts of the land to bow down
before the high priests of the tariff.
The makers of carpets and clothing , the
manufacturers of boots and shoes , the
canned goods packers and the repre
sentatives of other industries threat
ened by an increase of tariff on raw ma
terial are wearing sack cloth and ashes
of contrition and are bearing in their
hands emblems of woo. It is not to bo
wondered at that the members of the
ways and means committee stand aghast
at these petitioners. They are strangers
at the court of high tariff. The faces
familiar in the past have boon those of
manufacturers praying for protection
and more duties. What can it mean ?
DEMOCRATIC political loaders are
accused of giving merely lukewarm sup
port to the high license bill pending in
the Iowa legislature. They are said to
chorislrtho hope that,4n the event ot
no change in the law this session , " by
making the Ijquor question the para
mount issue two yoars. honcn they will
bo able to ride into power on the crest
of a popular upheaval. There is evi
dently something in this. For that
reason it behooves the republicans of
Iowa to grasp the situation and meet
prohibition with a bold and solid , front.
Ir in the coming campaign the rail
road political gangs "are routed , and
radical regulation laws enacted , the
corporations will have themselves to
blame. T'liby have in.vitotl retaliatory
legislation by maintaining excessive
freight tolls nnfl.-Tobbing the producers
of the fruits of their labors. They have
sown the wind and will reap the whirl
wind of popular indignation.
