DELOS BURLINQAME. Sizerville, Pa., Feb. 20, ISO 9. The Republican County Com mittee will meet next Saturday. The advance in wages of work ingmen in various parts of the country goes merrily 011. but the Democratic papers are so busy howling at expansion that they fail to notice it at all.—Cleveland (Ohio) Leader. Hon. Ward R. Bliss, of Dela ware county, one of the insurgent leaders of the House has recently declared for Senator Quay. He says the people have changed their opinions of Quay and lie wants to be with the people. Recruiting for the ten volunteer regiments began the first of the month and the men will be sent to Manila as soon as possible. The war spirit has not died out by any means, and there are many young men who would sooner enlist and light for Uncle Sam than stay at home. Unless all signs fail, the people will soon tire of the cruel persecu tion heaped upon Secretary of AVar Alger. The citizens of this great Nation believe in fair play and will soon defend the gentleman at the head of the War Department, who has silently and with dignity borne the insults of his enemies. His tory will repeat itself. "A protective tariff is the mother of trusts," said Mr. Havemeyer recently. "Socialism follows in the wake of trusts," remarks At torney General Remley. of lowa. Phraseiuaking is such an easy thing that it is liable to lead a man from the strict paths of truth and common sense at any time. Prac tice proves that the tariff is the mother of prosperity and that trusts are by 110 means the growth of any particular system of taxa tion, and that further, they have nothing more to do with socialism than is found in a very distant nod of acquaintance. The phrase makers need to make a new start and phrase 011 facts.—Philadelphia Inquirer. WASHINGTON LETTER. ( From our Regular Correspondent.) WASHINGTON, July 17th, 1899. President McKinley is much in terested in the daily reports re ceived at the War Department from the recruiting officers and greatly pleased at the promptness with which men are enlisting—the average is nearly 400 a day—for the hard service known to be be fore them in the Philippines, al though he is not surprised. He has an abiding faith that the pat riotism of Americans is strong enough to promptly meet every call that it may be necessary to make upon it. It is now certain that the ten new regiments of vol unteers will be recruited in time to l>e sent to Gen. Otis as soon as he can use them, which will not be until after the rainy season is over in the Philippines. Director Roberts, of the U. S. Mint, has just returned from a trip through the middle West. He said of what he observed: 4 *Money is plentiful and the West seems to have all of its share. In fact, there is so much money that Ne braska banks, for instance, are competing for commercial paper in Chicago, with interest at a low rate. Ido not think this has ever occurred before. Heretofore, the W< 'stern banks have never had too much money and have had to bor row from Chicago and the East. Money is going from the West to the East, and this renders the money market in the East easy. Therefore American money is go ing to Europe, where interest is higher. There is not much talk of politics in the West. Ihe general understanding is that President McKinley and Mr. Ilryan will be re-nominated. Mr. McKinley will carry more western states than he did three years ago, and will ob tain a much larger majority in lowa than before. Many demo crats who voted for Bryan told me that they were satisfied with the situation, and would vote for the re-election of McKinley." Senator Scott, of \Y. Va., who has just returned from a trip to the Pacific coast, gave the Democrats who imagine that a successful cam paign can be made on an anti-ex pansion and free silver platform, a valuable pointer, when lie told them that the Democrat most mentioned for the Presidential nomination out there was Senator Morgan, of Ala., who is admired because of his work in behalf of the Nicaraugua canal, his robust expansion views, and his hearty support of the foreign policy of President McKinley, during and since the war with Spain. Admiral Dewey has written that lie will arrive in New York harbor not later than Oct. 1, and that he may possibly get there a little earlier, lie will receive such a welcome and ovasion as was never given to any American, and the best part of it is that Ik; deserves all the honor that can be given him. Ex-Senator Wilson, of the State of Washington, says expansion is not a party question in his state, as it is endorsed by practically the entire population. lie thinks there isn't the slightest doubt of Presi dent McKinley's re-election by an increased majority, both in the popular vote and the electoral col lege. Like other observant men who have recently been in the ex treme West, Mr. Wilson thinks that Bryan is losing ground so fast in that section that he will not be re-nominated by the Democrats. It is only because of Bryan's sup posed control of the West and South that he has any support at all in the East. If the West and South do not send solid delegations for him, to the Democratic Na tional Convention, he will stand but little show, even with the two thirds rule, which his friends are working to abolish, out of the way. WOULD LIMIT, NOT STOP, TRUSTS. How the Issue Raised by Havemeyer Is Regarded in Various Sections of the Country. New York Press. Senator Chandler, of New Hamp shire, lias some views on Havemeyer's recent declarations on trusts and the Tariff. He characterizes the Sugar Trust boss as a plutocratic Democrat. Havemeyer, according to Chandler, is a multi-millionaire Democrat, who, false to his own party, cannot influence ten votes. Neither can he influence votes by his money. He will not dare give it up to Bryan, and there is no one else to whom he will dare give it. The Republican party is not afraid that any capital can be made against the Tariff on account of trusts. These exist everywhere all over the world, in Free-Trade as well as in Tariff coun tries. "The Republican doctrine as it will be enunciated at the next national convention, which will renominate Mr. McKinley," said Mr. Chandler, "is that it is unnecessary to destroy any industry in this country in order to restrain trusts. We want home indus tries, and we don't want trusts. "In order to maintain the home in dustries we must have high Tariff duties against the cheap labor and the cheap products of foreign countries. The maintenance of the Tariff as an American doctrine was settled beyond peradventure by the election of Mc- Kinley in 1896, and the enactment of the Dingley bill. We are not going to destroy the Tariff as a means of check ing trusts. "But how are you going to check trusts ?" "They can be restrained easily and absolutely if the people and their Leg islatures and Congress wish to do it by suitable laws. There can be no huge and dangerous trusts maintained by partnerships or individuals. They can only flourish through immense corpor ations issuing stocks and bonds. These corporations can only be created by State Legislatures, and the same Leg islatures which create them can destroy them. "Without completely destroying them, a Legislature can limit their functions and powers, can absolutely determine the business in which they shall engage, and prevent them doing any other. It can fix and limit the amount of their capital stock and the bonds which they can issue. Every .•state Legislature can thus control the corporations of its own State, and with greater or equal facility can restrain or control the corporations of other States. Congress can control or de stroy the transportation trust and some others. State Legislatures can do the rest." Senator Warren, of Wyoming, is an other visiting statesman who bears testimony to the public interest in the trust question. He says: "In the West the people are begin ning to see that the trust business has been overplayed. It will cease to have its present terrors by the time the na tional conventions meet. The question moy figure in the campaign, but it now CAMERON COUNTY PRESS, THURSDAY, JULY 20, 1899. looks as if it will be too far in the past to have any particular weight in the coming elections. "Out in my section the administra tion's policy with respect to foreign questions is receiving a loyal support. Everyone is not an expansionist as that term is understood, but all are giving the President a support that in dorses his policy of maintaining the honor of the Flag and the integrity of the Government. "Generally speaking, the conditions in the West are good. The crops, with exceptions here and there, are excel lent, and the farmer has promise of an abundant harvest. 1 noticed coming through Nebraska that the winter wheat was a failure, but the corn crop is good. Throughout the whole West there is a feeling of contentment and a belief that the brighter days will re piain with us. Much of this is due to wise legislation by the Republican Congress, and it will find a responsive echo when the election days come again. "The sheep men are just emerging from their depressed conditions. The enormous importation of wool under the Wilson law in anticipation of the Republican action weighted down our American wools and flooded the coun try with foreign wools that came in free of duty. That surplus is gradu ally disappearing, and, although there is still much of it in the warehouses, it is rapidly being used, and the near ap proach of its full disappearance is starting the price of American wools upward. Our Western sheep men are taking courage, and our cattlemen can only hope that, through the unfortun ate attack on the beef supplies to the army they will not be made to suffer too long." A third contribution on the trust question from ex-Representative Far quharofNew York, a member of the Industrial Commission. When asked what he thought would be the recom mendations of the commission on the trust question, Mr. Farquhar said he was unable to forecast it, but he did not see how corporations can he de clared unlawful. "Trusts," said he, "are formod for the avowed purpose of cheapening production, controlling prices and regulating the output. According to the universal laws of trade this cannot be declared illegitimate. The forma tion of trusts is nothing more than the outgrowth of new business conditions in the country. We as a nation are producing a vast amount more than we consume, and the combination is nothing more than an effort to get products on the market in the cheap est way. It is not due to a desire to make more money, but to make as much as was made before this enor mous overproduction began. "If people would, instead of address ing memorials to Congress, build up a merchrnt marine by which the over production of America could be carried and sold to foreign countries there would be no cause for objecting to trusts in th® country. In many cases the trusts have proven of benefit to the public at large. If the competition of rival corporations will lower prices the public is glad of it. There is one thing in the trust problem which should be remedied and that is the enormous over-capitalization of cor porations. It is responsible for more business depression in this country than anything else. The remedy for this lies with the State Legislatures." No Right to Ugliness.
