Tin Fannurt National congress. In |
session at Iti'llanopnlK will probably
renew the demand made at the session
of tuo yeitiN ngo. Hint farm products
shall be protected equally with manu
factured product. * . The address of the
president of the congress presented
some highly Interesting and Instructive
llgurerf sh'iwlni ' ; how Importations of
agricultural products have Increased
under the prcst-.it tariff. It appears
from this that In the llrst year of the
operation of the existing law the agri
cultural Imports In twenty articles , the
like of which we produce north ami
south , were more than double In amount
the Imports of such products lu the lust
year of the republican tariff. Formida
ble llgurcs were given showing what
lhi > farmers of the I'nltetl States have
lost by ( lie tariff change and the pres
ident said : "Should protection be the
policy of tlie government , then It should
be applied to farm products and the Ag
ricultural. Department should recom
mend to the general government such
changes in tariff schedules as will
furnish equal protection to tlie products
of the farm. "
This Is a matter regarding which the
farmers of a large part of the country
itnve been thinking seriously for tin1
past two years. There can be no doubt
that the votes of many of them were
Influenced by it In tlie late election and
It Is to be expected that they will be
heard demanding of tlie next congress
and administration such consideration
for tiie farming Interest In the revision
of the la rill' as they shall deem desira
ble. Tlie fact that they are able to
show that they have sustained n ma
terial loss under the present tariff will
be an almost Irresistible argument for
a restoration of tin- duties under tlie
former tariff and It Is safe to say that
this will not be denied them by the re
publican congress. While It Is true that
we export agricultural products. It Is
not tt fact that all products of the farm
tire c.i\mrtcd , and for such sis tire not-
for such as depend wholly 11)1011 ) tile
home market a reasonable protection
seems a legitimate demand.
There appears to be a quite general
apprehension In European countries
that the election of McKlniey means the
enactment of a practically prohibitive
tariff and there is a renewal of the talk
which followed tlie passage of the law
of IS'.H ) regarding a union of Kuropean
countries for a common tariff war on
the products of the United States. A
German paper suggests that If It Is Im
possible to achieve joint Kuropean ac
tion Germany must proceed upon Inde
pendent lines , IIrs creating a high max
imum tariff and then giving notice of a
cessation of the most favored nation
system as soon as the United States
government raises the tariff. The
French press voices a fear there that a
revision of our present tariff will be to
tlie detriment of ( lie trade of that coun
try with the United States.
There could be no better testimony
to the great benefit which the existing
law lias been to the manufacturers of
tliosit countries , lo tlie necessary loss of
American capital and labor , and It fur
nishes abundant , justification for such a
change In tlie tariff as will give back
to American manufacturers the ! > HH-
Iness they have lost by reason of this
Increased competition. It will probably
be found , however , that the foreigner. *
exaggerate the danger. The policy of
tlie next administration , as now Indi
cated , doi-s not contemplate the reenactment
actment of tlie last republican tariff as
n whole , but simply such changes from
the present tariff as will afford reason
able protection to American industries
ami labur and supply tlie government
with adequate revenues. This is what
the republican parly Is pledged -to do
and It can do no less , nor will It be de
terred from sticli action by any threats
of Kuropcan retaliation. In this matter
of industrial Independence we shall not
wait for ( lie consent of any other nation
on earth.
( IHAI'I'UXU H'lTII .1 THUST.
Combinations In restraint of competi
tive trade have been outlawed by na
tional and state legislation , but it Is one
tiling lo make Ir.ws and another to en
force laws. While popular Indifference
to law-breaking is doubtless largely re
sponsible for ( lie prevailing disregard of
law , the olllcers charged with the en
forcement of law , public prosecutors and
courts are chielly accountable for the
reckless defiance of law on the part of
corporate monopolies. It Is the frequent
boast of the managers of these potential
concerns that they make and unmake
court olllcers , prosecutors and Judges.
And the e Indiscreet assertions are often
verified by the men who are sworn to
enforce law and administer Justice. It Is
simply Impossible to repress and sup
press trusts anil other lawless combina
tions so long tis public prosecutors and
courts play into their hands , one of
the most flagrant Instances of high
handed defiance of the federal anti-trust
*
law liasbeen brought lo public notice
In the complaint filed In the United
States conns of Indiana against the
Wire Null trust. Tlie complaints charge
the concerns composing this trust with
an illegal conspiracy in restraint of In
terstate Iraflle and commerce. The plain
tiff , Lewis C. Itramkamp of Cincinnati ,
declares that in order to break up his
business the Wire Nail trust hail pre
vented him from securing the machinery
necessary for manufacturing wire nails.
According to ids petition for rcdrc.ts he
had contracted with an Indiana foundry
for forty mill machines , but before they
could bt delivered the trust declared
that he should not be allowed to pur
chase , ami succeeded In preventing him
from buying anywhere In the country.
11 was declared to the court that since
the formation of tiie trust tlie price of
wire nails has advanced over IKM ) per
cent and that the trust lias netted as a
result of the advance nearly l7,000 , < )00. )
It was shown that to prevent tlie estab
lishment of new factoile.s not In the
trust thu trust made contracts with
makers of wire mill machinery to the
effect that no linn not a member of thu
trust should bu furnished with machines.
If these ) charges are substantiated by
competent testimony this In certainly one
U f the most flagrant cases of lawless
combination to prevent competition that
htm ever come to public notice. Why It
should have been necessary for the par
ties aggrieved lo prosecute the case
through their own attorneys , when under
the Sherman null-trust law the duty to
prosecute and break tip trusts devolves
on the Untied Slates district attorney ,
ptisses coinpieheiislon. .
The outcome of this effort to suppress
the Wire Nail trust will be watched with
great Interest by the people of the whole
country. The people of the United
States. Irrespective of parly , are opposed
to trusts and In favor of their repression.
H Is to be hoped the federal court before
which the case Is pending will If the
complaint Is substantiated Impose the
full penally prescribed by the law and
thus set an example that will render
defiant disregard of the anti-trust law
hazardous If not Impossible.

It is to be hoped thai the directors
of the exposition association will lose
no further time In serving notice on the
secretary of the treasury that the condi
tions embodied in the act of congress
granting olliclal recognition for and
pledging , tlie co-operation of the United
Slates government in tlie Traiismissis-
. - Ippl and International exposition have
bi-en compiled with. There Is always a
great deal of red tape In tlie Washing
ton departments , and It may IIP weeks
if not months before the treasury elli
cials complete their Inquiry and certify
to tlie president that the requisite sub
scriptions to the exposition stock have
been made. It Is also to be taken for
granted that some time may elapse
after Secretary Carlisle's report has
been handed to the president before
the proclamation announcing to the people
ple of this country ami all the world
thai a great exposition will be held in
Omaha In ISis ! shall issue from the
wlille house. Tills proclamation can
not be Issued lee soon. It will lake
months for American ministers and
consuls abroad to bring the exposition
to the notice of foreign governments
and exhibitors who may desire to
participate. It is , moreover , desirable.
If not absolutely vital to the success
of the exposition , that the president's
proclamation shall Issue before congress
reconvenes , or. at any rale , before lite
.various . stale legislatures of the Trans-
mississlppi stales shall begin their ses
sions. It must be borne in mind also
that up to this time there has been no
otlleial action taken by the United
Stales government that can lie con
st rued as definitely assuring the Trans-
mississippi exposition beyond pledging
an appropriation of SI'IXMMIO for a gov
ernment building and exhibit. This
pledge is of no value nnle.es congress
at Its coming session shall make it
good by ti specific appropriation. In
order lo make sure of tills appropria
tion congress must be furnished tangi
ble proof of our financial ability to
carry the project to successful com
pletion. We must bring to its knowl
edge the sulllelency of the stock sub
scriptions and donations to the exposi
tion association to constitute a guaranty
of good faith. Inasmuch its the coming
session of congress must terminate on
the -lib day of March next , there is
no lime lo be lost In securing the req
uisite treasury certilieale and procla
mation of tlie president.
M.lKIXd.
There Is excellent authority for the
statement that Major McKInley will
enter upon his duties as president 1111-
tianimeled by any pledges as to cabinet
appointments. Tills can lie accepted
unquestlonlngly , because at no time ,
either before his nomination or after ,
was there any reason for the president
elect making personal pledges in order
to secure support. His nomination was
demanded by a large majority of the
rank and file of the republican parly
and when tlie will of tlie majority had
been thus expressed the leaders were
not slow to acquiesce in it. II
was not necessary to offer any
Inducements to bring them to the sup
port. < f the ticket. They rallied to it
promptly and heartily. Of those who
did able ami valuable service in the
cause of sound money and for re
publican success , the number is so
great that there are not offices enough
in tlie gift of the president to reward
them all , if they should desire tlie re-
watd of olliee.
Cabinet making Is being largely In
dulged in by the newspapers and will
continue to bi > up to tlie day when the
next president shall announce who are
to be ( he members of Ills administra
tion. This is
not without interest as
an expression of public preference and
doubtless Major McKinley himself will
not lie wholly Indifferent lo the opinion
of the republican newspapers of the
country an lo who would bi > most ac
ceptable lo the parly as cabinet elli
cials. lie may very wisely consider
tlie suggest'ons ' from this source as a
guide to the selection of popular men.
IMit ( here are only eight cabinet posi
tions and already several I lines that
luuuher have been named as meriting
lite consideration of the president
elect. It is possible that some of lluvc
will be appointed. The dllllciilly thai
confronts .Major McKinley Is In tlie
excess of excellent cabinet material.
There Is hardly a position lu the ad
ministration for which a score of capa
ble men cannot be found.
One thing may be regarded as assured.
The next administration will be dis
tinctively republican. It will be
harmonious on the questions of sound
money and protection. The. expectation
Is that all sections of tlie country will lie
represented in it ami It Is desirable that
they should be. A sound southern re
publican In tlie cabinet would benefit
the party In that section , which Is no
longer solidly democratic. Tlie north
west should have a place In tlie admin
istration. The east and the middle slates
are sure to be taken care of. It has been
suggested that the appointment of a
Hound money democrat to a cabinet posi
tion would be a proper recognition of tlie
service of that element lo the republican
cause. It Is not necessary to do tills In
order to attest the fact that Major Mc
Kinley and all republicans reall/.e the
vuluu of the assistance and support of
i In- sound money democrats. That has
bt'cn lii'iirtltyfiju , ! unreservedly acknow
ledged. To appoint a democrat one of
the advisers of a republican administra
tion , If a democrat could lie found to
accept Hit- while It would not
be wit lion irreeedenl. could not serve
any good pose and might prove a
source of i rd and Double. The next
adnilnlsira loir should be so constituted
that I here will be no danger of any dis
turbance or ( liseord In Us councils.
Major MeKluley may lie depended
upon to select a cabinet that will be
satisfactory to ihe country a cabinet in
full accord with the principles he rep
resents. No tine has a larger acquaint
ance with men filled to administer the
all'alrs of government and It Is safe to
say that lie wll choose only those of the
highest character ami qualifications. It
will be liN aim lo make Ills administra
tion worthy of Ihe approval and con
fidence of tlie nation.
Grand Master Workman Sovereign
lias broken out again with another of
his fantastic and bombastic effusions
addressed to Hie Knights of Labor. He
tears his hair and plucks out ills beard
by the handful over the election of Me-
Kluley. which was followed by the re
opening of mills and workshops and the
re-employment of thousands upon thou

ers of idle money who have subverted
tlie principles of free government by
forcing political service from the poor ,
ami bemoans the political shivery of
tlie wretchedly Impoverished who had
lo sacrifice their liberties lo supply
food and shelter for their helpless wives
and Innocent children. For all we know
Sovereign may be sincere and honest ,
but how such si rattle-brained man can

siderable number of intelligent Amer

hension.
The seemly custom of rising to I lie

Accordi'ig to \V'ashln < jton correspondent
of the St. I.nuia lU'publlc Senator .lonea of
Nnvada has formulalc.1 a p'.ni for the own-
ciahlp of railroads by the government , and
will urge Its adoption by congress at the
com I ng session :
"I believe. " said the senator , "that the
peuplo of Iho United Statts ,110 inady to
Insist on the government assuming control
of the railroads of the country. 1 am my
self In favor or It on general principles , but
I do not approvo-of the plans thus far pn-
centcd for bringing It about. Neither do I
regard as wise..tlje _ proposition to have the
roads operated-by the government , as that
would bo to pjace In the hands of a few
men a dangerous political power. The
people should opcr.ito the roads. My plan ,
which I worked , out when the agitation for
government ownership of the railroads was
first advocated. Is to have the government
acqiilro the roads by purchase- and fore
closure of the mortgages and IndebtodnesN
overdue and throw them opn to the public ,
an In the caho or toll roads. In the early
days out went wlrrn a toll road was built
through a nectlttnor the mountains , the
transporter of'"freight or passengers with
his own vLhlclbu 6iuld ) pass over the road
by the payment of a certain fee. That
Is the system I , Urrfpase for freight and pas
senger trafllc Jon \tho railroads after the
lines are afiilrfA | by the government. The
tolls should buy fixed at no low a rate as
to produce Jujft1 vjioush revenue for the
expenses of keeping the road , tracks , etc. ,
In perfect order. "
"Tho train service then would bo en
tirely lu thii hands of the people. Thus a
first-class engineer , n conductor , and a
brukeman would bo at liberty to run n
train of their own over any line In the
country under conditions laid down by the
government. All they would have to do
would bo to arrange for running tlmo with
the proper authorities.
"Tho project opens up boundless possi
bilities. For Instance , the farmers of a
given locality who are now shut out or
the markets by high freight rates could
hlro or buy a few cunt and an engine and
go themselves with their cattle or grain
to the best market. The manufacturer
could do likewise , while the pleaMiro-seeker
might visit every section of the continent
with every luxury for what It now costs
him to go from New York to Ban Fran
cisco. "

History repeats Itself , When Candldato
Ilryan took tbo stump In his own liclialf , at-
tontlon was called to the fact that every
candlilato for president who ntumped the
country was defeated. The precedent wau
by Henry Clay and was alllrmeit
In ISM , In 1S72 and iix.un lu issiTito
campaign of 1S98 reafllrms the fatality of
presidential stumping.
Candldato llry.in traveled 20,000 miles , do-
llvcrcd H92 spceehc * . containing about S75-
000 xvoiils , tn U71 towns anil cltlrs In
twenty-seven different ut.ites , to Audiences
aggregating 2,000,000 persons , nnormouit
crowds llotcned to Stephen A. Douglas , to
Horace Groelcy and to Jamr * 0. lllalne.
Equally great were thu audiences lirouglit
together by the free nllver UMdor. Most of
the states visited by him joined In his de
feat , and only two large cities-Now Or
leans and lotior ) gave him a majority.

The election u-turns indicate that the
farmers or the \\rst are not such opponents
of the gold fjlnti'lnrd ' as had bren believed
provlons to November 3. Nearly all the
great agricultural states gave their electoral
votes to McKinley. Minnesota , In proportion
to Its population , cave us largo a. majority
against Ilryan as did the manufacturing
Ktates , the excess of McKtnlcy'B vote over
Dryan's being nearly HO.OOO , The substrac-
tlon of the vote In Ft. Paul and Minneapolis
would not materially affect the proportionate
preponderance ot the Mr.Klnley vole. Imva ,
with no domliHtlng cities , gave McKlnh-y
7 ,000 majority. In Michigan the republican
camlldato bad EG 000 majority , of whlrh } ) e-
trolt gave but 7.000. In Wisconsin McKInley
had 100,000 majority. Taking out the ma
jority In Milwaukee , the chief city , which
was ' .1,000 , It will lie seen the stale at Urge
gave over SO.OOO majority uga nst free sil
ver. In Illinois MeKinley came up to the
Cook county line with over 70.000 majority.
In Indiana McKinley had about Zu.noi ) major
ity , of which 11,000 , came froiri Indianapolis ,
which would still leave him In the lead
throughout the state. In Ohio the repub
lican majority was about .13,000. In Cin
cinnati and Cleveland the majorities were
respectively 19,000 and 3,500. Tills leaves

the votes or the two largest cities over

tural state , gave a majority agilnst silver ,
and In South Dakota , Nebraska , Kansas and
Wyoming the voting population was about
evenly divided. Crossing the distinctively

silver , It U found that the coast states or
