Bo Yar All Attempts to Cheek Them Have | Proved Futile, A writer in The Political Beienco Quarterly reviews the various legal ao- tions that have been taken under the federal antitrust law of 1890 and shows that the law has practically failed to bave any effect in restraining or punish- attempts at monopoly, says the Bt. after another ing Louis Post-Dispatch, the courts on various plausible grounds find that the law cannot be enforeed. One after another the actions against the trusts have fallen through, with the result that today there appears to be no possibility of any further federal inter ference, If it were true that the power for the checking of trusts is exhausted the out- look would be dark indeed. One ties of the people and control the government through their tremendous influences, popular government is doom- ed. There is good ground for the joy | of the socialists, who hail the growth of trusts and combinations as the fore- runner of the death of democracy and individualism and the triumph of com- munism, Jut the possibilities of trust fighting are far from exhausted. They have scarcely been touched. With the exocep- tion of the federal law, which was ill constructed, nothing has been done to check the trusts. On the contrary much has been done to promote their growth, The tariff law of the present congress favors and feeds them, Courts packed in their interest When the people make up their minds that the shall be checked and elect and a president that wiil carry out the pular will, a now trust fighting record will be mu It will in nough to despa the rig} (ind of antitrust fig are trusts # CODRTCRS REPUBLICAN ARGUM The Reason Dingley's iil Is u Failure Is That We Don't Import Enough, fer 18 the ul retary n gle ys a tre If the poo chief's re Joot~but bold to dex is all right, in # is with the people, he sa) ple would only import enough, would find the bill producing ample revenue in short order.

They told the thousands of cotton workers in New England that the Wilson tariff was barming them; that when it was repealed they would be prosperous; that Mr. McKinley's election meant increased wages for them. Mr. McKinley is now nominally president, the Wilson tariff has been replaced by a Republican measure, the cotton mills of New England have their protection. Yet the wages of the em ployees are to be reduced 10 per cent on New Year's day. More cuts are prom- ised in the next few mouths.
