V by Law to Aid Favored Manufacturers. 1 ' ' HORRISTOWN. N. J..- Oct. 30 Former President Cleveland apoka here tonight In Lyceum hall. Ho said: . I am especially plaw'd to learn that tariff reform hna been marie the principle Issue In the canas you hrfve o i hand. Of course customs duties must continue to be lha scurce of government maintenance until snlther plan Is devised, but a tariff, con structed for the purpose of protection la an j un'Juat and unfair burden upon the .masses of the people. ; R-itm Old Battle. . ! It was not long since the democratic party In advocating th reduction of tariff tmatlon to the, -revenue neCflrf of the gov .ernment, "jafed Ha Inetetence upon the d.ny of cheapening the prices of necessities and .withdrawing so'miicji protection from a fa- , Voted few us allowed them abnormal prof it". But the exactlona on account of pro tection wore made In such a stealthy man ner that It whs difficult to impress the evil . orr purchases. " While this process was going on Imported articles wera charged such high duties as to create a surplus revenue, this surplus represented a small proportion of the un necessary price of living entailed by high protection. Hut this e mount was Inslgnlil cant as compared with the .gjnv. manufac turers pocketed. Proceeding he sketched the history of the tariff movement slqce 187. when he urged a reduction In customs duties, to the pres ent time. Less than a "year 'after that message It was made a target, he said, for all sorts off attack In a presidential election, and acting on the Idea that the tariff must be reformed by lt friends, the people wera perfiaded to keep those friends In political control, and they forthwith constructed a new scheme of high protection. The bill then passed was so full of abom ination and so plainly showed the heedless nets of Its authors of the .Interests of tho people, that voters were prompt In their re venge. But sooner than they expected friends of the tariff, or. In other words, those who sought to grow rich with gov ernment help at the expense of the people, came into power again. Capitalists Framed Law. He had, .beard It aald upon excellent au thority that expectant beneficiaries were actually allowed to construct the schedule by which they expected to profit. t believe this last -exploit of the so-called friend of tket tariff in Its revision should amply satisfy any thoughtful citizen that the spirit of a hUh protective tariff grows by Indulgence and " mocks what It fels upon, and that ita progressive greed and ruthtassnnss is becoming more and more a . menace to the welfare and happiness of the people. How long has it been thought decent, or even safe, to cheat cunaumera of coat by putting It pn.tbe free list, but dishonestly providing for Its taxation In another cun ningly constructed provision of the law? I have called your attention to the fact that' In 1KS7 'Competition which. If unre stricted, might modify,, the effect upon our consumers of a high protective tariff, was spoken of M -"toe .of Sen strangled by com binations, quite prevalent at this time and frequently calMl tr'jStw." When this was written I suppose the trusts so far as they-were at all Important might, have been counted on the fingers. When the friends of the tariff last took up the work of In reconstruction, those trusts had Ipcrsased by hundreds. It was aa plsin then as now that a ,l)lgh protective tariff defends them against foreign competition ahd rtiafby-conrwleraViy In production and price they -defend themselves -against com petition at homa. It was perfectly apparent that voder, the broad wings of high protec tion they , -wuld complacently close their ears to trie troublesome cry for easier liv ing from the everyday consumer. is It -not :true., then, that the encroach ments of the doctrine of high - protection have been ronatantly progressive, and is It not true that to all other reasons for tariff reform there la added the birth and growth of their cruel ami unmerciful progeny, trusts and combinations, which stand guard against all attempts to seek relief In the f eld of free competition? 'That , present tariff conditions have as sumed' a, complexion" ' which not only re quires a check. but avtual amendment, la at last admitted among those responsible for these conditions. We hear It on everir side. It means that they ee the handwriting on the wall as tney havo never seen it before. Does It mean that they are sincerely willing to do something for the people, as against old cemnulea who have heretofore paid well for tUe, neglect of the people? How, can we believe this when we see still paraded up and down before our sight the hoary-headed and malodorous old fraud and pretense, that tbe tariff should be re vised oy Its friends? I have ' supposed my fellow cltliens thoughtful on this subject and desirous of an amendment of the tariff and I have at tempted to give reasons why this work should not be entrusted to those who have so fully demonstrated their Insincerity and unfitness for the task.

Joe ROOT TALKS ON THE TRUSTS Prosperity Whio'u Hag Come tj All Shared by Big Combination. ii CAPITAL IS GETTING LARGER PROFITS On the Other Hand the Labor of the l and la Herd In Higher VA'naea and More Steady fctn ploimeat. NEW YORK, Oct.' Soi-Aroopcr tnlou was filled tonight at a republican meeting, at which the principal speakers were Mayor Low, Governor Odell and Secretary of War Root. Mr. Root said: I'nfalr and oppressive trusts are weeds In the gardtn of proaperlty. it la eacy to kill them If you kill the flowers and the fruit aiso, hut ir you would keep the weeds down and have the Harden grow you must devote .oursetf, not to desperate measures, but to nulling out tho weens and leaving the use ful piants. So in curbing combinations of capital, care must be taken, not to atop great enterprises which have legitimately letlucert tho cost of production, nut to take Arrerfca out of the race-of competition tor the markets of the world and deprive the fhtmer of his market fur the raw material of manufacture. Traata Accompany Prosperity. Th" evils complained of are an outgrowth of the procens ot indaMrial development.. Their regulation Is also a necessary part of that process. '1 he wonderful scientific discoveries and li.venfloiiH of the IrtKt half century have trormously increaril the productive power of mankind. 1 here has been greater prog ress In productive power during the latrt cer.tury than In any thousand yeurn before. This enormous 'niltiitlnn to the productive power of labor was duo first to the brains that matin the discoveries and Inventions end organised the great combinations of capital necessary to use the new powers and tho new methods necetstry for their uee. and, second to the capital that built tho machines and the mills and the rail roads and was wasted In unsuccessful ex periments and took the. chances of loss to gain the rewards of nurcesst'ul enterprise. it Is plain that in the dlstribjtlon of this rrvry acquired wealth the brains that In vest and that organise should have their share; the capital that constructs and maintains should lie' rewarded for Its risk; the laborer should have higher waftes be cause his labor la producing jrfore, and the consumer should have lower prices because the product which he purchases IS produced with greater eaee and at less cost. ' Capital and brains always get the advan tage at first. Hut our Industrial history shows that the laborer and the consumer Slowly but surely-wrest their share of the advantage from capital. People Benefit by Combines. The organizers of the sugar trust made mi oh money for themselves, but we aro getting sugar now for less than It cost to make It before the trust was formed. The organisers if the Standard fill company have mad a great deal of money, but the poorest American farmer is lighting" his little house tonight at a trifling cost more brilliantly than palaces were lighted a cen tury ago. These are the consumers' shares of the wealth created by the brains and urpltal of the sufjar company and the Btandard Oil company. While the Dj7,H") wage earners of 1H50 In creased to 5,816.0110 In li'Jt) the wages paid In creased from 2;i6.oii0,uuo to S2,X,uu0,0u0; that Is to say, about five times the number of workmen received- about ten - times -the amount of wages, or wages just about doubled during the fifty years. On the other hand, while ti33,MiQ.ftiiO Invested In manufac tures In ISjO had swelled to fO.Kfi.ono.onO In 19ti0, every dollar of capital so Invested re ceived less than one-third of the return re ceived In 1X50. Thus, while the returns of capital seem great because they are massed and the returns of labor seem small because they are scattered, capital's proportionate share of the new wealth Is decreasing and labor's Is increasing. The. reault of this process Is a diffusion of wealth among the people, the contempla tion of which makes the comparatively lew large fortuns seem of trifling-Importance. In the year l:M there wera 6.88,723 sepa rate savings bank accounts in the United States, with deposits amounting to $2,34)7, CW.SXO.r These were, the, accounts ot people whom, according "Xa our American stand ards, we call poor. Oo out into th country and you will find that in-. 1MH. there w.re S.739.&7 separate farms, a little more than one farm to every nine of th rural popula tion. Taking the savings bank accounts and farm j together, there are owntd by the plain working people almost an average of a farm or a bank account for every faml'.y. There were In 1901 14.395,443 life insurance policies. The total Insurance among them amounted to 3s.662.la9.740. Every one of these polices represented money laid up by people who were not rich. This steady Increase in the earnings of labor, this diffusion of wealth, h.is been accomplished In spite of the continuous Immigration of the poor of other countries. More significant than all else la the fact that wc have commenced this neiv century with over 17,000,000 children In school. Let us not, In fixing our gas ut on small evils, foraet the greater cood.

The republican party proposes to regu late, curb and suppress the bad trusts, rather than destroy the good and bad to gether, and with them the prosperity which brings such beneflcient results to all. The democratic party claims that It should revise the tariff and so cure the trust evil. Observe they do not propose to confine themselves to cutting off duties upon articles made by trusu, but thalr remedy Is to destroy the trusts by drag ging them down in general ruin, you can kill the trusts, you can close their mills, but you close the mills also of all other producers of a similar article, and you substitute for domestlo production the Im portation of foreign articles. Ae foreign production Is in a great measure con trolled by trusts, you substitute a foreign trust for an American trust. Tou abandon the remedy of American competition and substitute a foreign monopoly.. Competition la Growing-. When the sugar trust was formed It took over U0 per cent of the refining capacity of the country. Immediately new refineries were started and today over 40 per cent of the augar of the country is made by out side couocrna. The latest and greatest combination, the United States Steel corporation, was sup- ioaed to oe an overwneiming monopoly; iut the statistics of the American Iron and Steel association for last August show that already Independent companies pro duce over 07 per cent of the iron or of the country, over tw per cent or tne total pig iron, over 40 per cent 'of the Itessemer steel ralle, over 37 per cent of the struc tural Iron and over 49 per cent of all rolled products. Are you going to ruin all' such Indepen dent industries for the purpose of punish ing trusts, or are you going to help them In their competition by wise regulation, and by seeing to It that the big concern Is fair to the smaller one? - When the democrats did obtain power, In the second administration or Mr. Cleve land, they were unable to use it, because that administration wan Ingrained with destructive habits and had no constructive capacity. For half, a century the demo cratic party has constructed nothing but the southern confederacy and the Wilson tariff bill. The Wilson tariff was so bad that the democratic president would not sign It, Its enforcement was accompanied by disaster and poverty and its repeal under republican rule has been followed by abounding prosperity; while the very men who wreathed the standard of the lost cause with imperishable renown declare that the failure of the confederacy was a blessing to mankind. Addressing himself to the continually re curring conteala between capital and labor, Mr. Root spoke ot the good understanding enjeodered by a recognition of mutual and reciprocal Interests. In Illustration of thla he cited the friendly relations between railroad owners and the aa soclated engineers, firemen, trainmen aad conductors, the agreement made tbe other lay between the tin plate manufacturer and their workmen and the agreement be tween employers and employes for ths an nual readjustment of wagea throughout ths greater part of the bituminous coal fields.
