Hp tY!io Preaches Free-Trade as a Keimdv Against Trusts. Tho theory of the Democracy is that trusts are the creatures of Protection, and that they cannot exist undor Free-Trade. It should be explained that this is the avowed theory of Democracy, rather than its honest belief j a theory put forth for political effect, to be introduced into tho next campaign somewhat as follows: Trusts aro an unmitigated evil ; they are created by the Protective Tariff ; there fore we should have a Free-Trade Tariff; therefore the Pemocraey, with its pledge to take Protection out of tho Tarifl.should be put in power. Now nil this is the veriest pretence. Thoro is no evidonce that trusts owe their establishment and maintenance to tho Protivitve Tariff. Trusts are a business dovelopoment of tho past few years, and they exist under all Tariff. An article in tho May I'orum states that ISO trusts were organized in Germany two years ago, that their number has greatly in creased since then ; that among them are a tierman coal trust, and an Austrian rol ling mill trust ; that thoro are French combinations controlling iron, petrole um, tsugar, chemicals and numberless other products, and that Belgium is over run with trusts. These countries have various kinds of tariffs. Trusts are not tho outgrowth ot any special tariffsystem. They flourish or fail independently of tariffs, and aro no more prevalent under protection than under frco trade. So when a Pomocrat or Populist comes around saying that the American people, in order to kill I he trusts, must slaughter their home indus tries by subjecting them to unrestricted foreign competition, it is safe to set him down as a hypocrite or an ignoramus. In either case ho is intent only on making political capital by raising a false issue. He wants to advance the fortunes of his party, and he cares not whether the moans bo fair and truthful or foul and doceptivo. But the Amorican pooplo are not to be hoodwinked. They have had some in structive object lessons in free trado and protection. They like the latter because of the prosperity it has brought, and tl.ey are not going to givo it up at the behest of demagogues whose lrbrications have not even a kernal of truth and whose motives are transparently selfish. if oci enter (N. Y.) Democrat. Democrats aro glad they are uot 10 quired to write a Philippines plank this yuar. It would bo a nice job to make it read both for and against annexation. Havana, Santiago, Matan.as and other Cuban towns are cleaner than ever be fore in their history, and the sensiblo part of the inhabitants will be glad to make the change permanent. Skven thousand five hundred work inon in the glass industry in Pennsylva nia had their wages advanced 10 percent, last week. This is some more of Mark Hanna's underhanded work. Sheep and wool clip in Kansas lost year increased I.'t per cent, under the fa vorable operations of the Pingley Tariff. Under the Wilson bill the Kansas sheep industry slumped to practically zero. One iron plant has been closed and its big force of workmen released indefinite ly. But the thing happened over in Can ada. Iron works on this sido of the line begin to need more storage room for their surplus orders. A lot ofieeborgs that drifted into Nan tucket harbor last winter have increased the depth of the bar channel from 8 feet to 12. Some Yankee will bo patenting artificial icohorgs to perform this uselul service in bays and rivers. The total production of tin plate by American mechanics since the passage of tho McKinley Tariff has been 2,215,590,029 pounds, and tho price to consumers has declined one-fourth. That is the Repub lican style of carrying on business. til, Louis O lobe-Democrat. A statute of Gen. John II. Reynolds will bo unveiled at tho Gettysburg Na tional Park, July 1, the thirty-sixth an nivorsary of his death. It is t.ie third statu to in the park provided by the Stuto of Pennsylvania, Meado and Hancock having been previously honored. The Republicans of Jefferson county nominated a popular ticket at their pri maries last Saturday, as fellows: Pro. thonotary, Cyrus II. Blood; Register and Recorder, John P. Evans; Sheriff, J. M. Chestnut; Treasurer, Gil C. Reitz; Com missioners, W. C. Murry and Newton Webster. J. L. Allison and W. S. Steele, friends of Senator Quav, were elected delegates to the State convention. Tub Democrats have l'mUlied their two days janglo over tho nomination of a candidato for Supremo Judge at Ilairis burg, at a late hour on Thursday evening last, the lucky man being Judgo S. I Mestrozat of Fayette county, whoso nom ination was mado aftvr i!8 ballots had been taken. Charles J. Riley of Wil liamsport was nominated for Superior Court Judge,and Win. J. Creasy, a mem ber of tho last three legislatures, from Columbia county, was named as tho can didate for Slate Treasurer. The first gentleman is a sure winner from tho fact that two Supreme court judges are to bo elected and no voter can vote for more than ono. Tho latter two nominations are mere empty honors, nud were se cured with a struggle. The Pemocratie newspapers contiuue to make much of the testimouy of the boss of the sugar trust, Mr. Havcmeyer, who declared, before the Industrial Com mission, that "the tariff is the mother of trusts." It seems to be Godsend to them. They didn't know exactly how it was that trusts weie formed, but Mr. Havemevcr irives them tho key to the situation at least, so they think and now we have another issue, "the tariff is tho mother of trusts.'' Of conrse they don't tako into consider ation tlm fact that the creates! of all trusts, the standard oil, is absolutjly without protection, nor do they include in their arguments that other fact, ad mitted by Mr. Ilavemeycr, that sugar is not protected. These little divergencies don't count in their scheme of argument, but they do count, nevertheless, with sensible people, and they are a complete answer. If the greatest trusts knowu to America are not protected, how can it be said truthfully that tho minor trusts are the creations of a taf iff which has opened every mill and has given widosproad em ployment? What nonsense it all is ! What, on tho face of the earth, has a tariff to do with the building up of trusts T . llavomeyer, who couldn't get for his syndicate all that he demanded from Congress, tries to pull down tho tariff. That is all there is in his cry that protection breeds trusts. It does not. If it is tho solo incubator, how does it happen that free trado Eng land is the father ol tho trusts T How is it poslble that the syndicates of London are reaching out in every direction, ai d have been for years?' So long as there are capitalists there will be combinations. Call them what you may, trusts, syndicates, corpora tions, the combinations will bo mcde,and irrespective of free trado or tuiff, laws. No one knows tliat better than Mr. llavo meyer, the head of one of the greatest of all combinations. IViila. Inquirer, Free Trade Trusts, Too. The theory that trust are essentially a product ol tho protective tariff has been a favorite ono in Pemocratie arguments on the subject. The fallacy of this claim is shown by an article from the pen of II. W. Macrosty, an English economist, in the March Contemporary Review, It shows that tho trust principle is already established and gaining ground in lroe trade England as well as in the United States. The wri'er quotes, for example, a few English trusts controlling such in terests as steel and iron rails, petroleum, warship building, load pipe, fish supply, metal utensils, antimony, nickel, mer cury, thread, salt, alkali and rubber tiers. Ono engineering combine is mentioned as having a capital of f56.000.000. This goodsized bunch of centralized industries managed to get to gather under the Eng lish free-trade system, and is said by this wriiorto be only a portion of "a steady movement toward combination and mo nopoly." With the trust system flour ishing so briskly under absolutely freo trade, it will readily be seen that the sug. gested removal of the tariff from all ar ticles handled by trusts would be an in ellicient method of suppressing their growth. As a matter of fact, it is unnecessary to look outsido ot the trust itself for area son for its existence The increased economy of production and decreased ex pense of distribution possible under a combination of small industries into one l'are one is ample explanation of the trust system of doing business. The trust problem stands by itself and will have to be dealt with. I ! placing a friend in nomination for Supreme Judge before the late Demo cratic convention at Uarrisburg a dele- gate told what a whole lot his candidate had done for tha party, and as if to em phasise bis eulogy of the man added "If you want justice, nominate Dowit. ho'll send you all to states prison." Just as though till the Pemocrats would be in States prison if lust ice was meted out to them! A Harrisburo dispatch says : The most interesting case of the week in the Dauphin county county court, in that it had a most important bearing on State and federal relations, was tho prosecution for selling liquor without license against James B. Moore and Patrick Joyce, who conducted a regimental canteen at Camp Mead, under the snpervision of tho com manding officer. Thoro were no disputod facts in the case, it being admitted that the canteen was established by the direc tion of the commanding officer in strict complienco with the instructions of Adjt. Gen. Corbin and according to the rules of war, that the persons who actually sold the beer and wine were porso is em ployed to do so under direction of the commanding officer, and that no stronger liquor than beer or wine had been sold. The Commonwealth contended that al though tho canteen might have been con ducted In accordance with tho official in structions of tho adjutant general and the rules of war, nevertheless these afforded no protection to persons who sold liquor in this State in violation of the license law. Judge Simouton granted all tlie Commonwealth's claims and the canteen at Camp Meado thus becomes outlawed in spito of the military power of Uncle Sam. Here is a new point in State's rights.

Rudolph Butler, ouly child of Carlos and Kate Heath of Starr, diod on Friday last, and was buried In Zuotidell church yard on Sunday. Tho little sufferer was sick but four days of cholera and infan tum with which ho was takon after mid night of the Sunday previous to his depth. The child was aged 2 years 9 months and 3 days, and was a bright, winsome little fellow, and a general favorite among Mr. Heath's neighbors. The fond parents have the sympathy of all in their com munity in an aflliction which only those who have had similar experience can fully appreciate. The following vors es were written by his father: Pear Ralph is gone, ho left so soon, Just as his life burst into bloom, For like a rose bud folded neat His life was opening up so sweet. How many times those little feel Would run his pa and ma to greet, First kiss bis mama, hug her too, Say, "want to kiss you, papa, too." Now when away and I draw near. That little voice no more I'll hear Say, "hello, papa," next would groet Me with a kiss and squeeze so sweet. When his mother with aching head Would lie to rest upon the bed, His little hands her head would hold, "To make it better," her he told. And when some work you went to do And ho would chance to be there too, Those little tinv hands so small, Would alwajs want to help in all. Oh how we loved our little boy, His father's pride, his mother's joy, It seems so hard, most breaks our heart, To think from him, we now must part. But now he's gone, no more we'll hear That little voice so sweet and dear, For be has left, though sad it bo To give him up no more to see. The Bible says that God knows best, And thus we' know ho is at rest. His little spirit took its flight And now ho is an angel bright. Pear Ralph, we say a last good-bye, We want to meet you up on high, When disappointments here are o'er, We hope to meet to part no more. The First Anniversary. It is just a year sinco the Chicago, Mil waukee A St. Paul road inaugurated Its celebrated Pioneer Limited passenger train servico between Chicago. Milwau kee. St. Paul and Minneapolis. This serv ice markod a new era in the railway world in the line of passenger accommo dations. At a cost of a quarter of a mill ion dollars that progressive company furnished the traveling public, in its Pio neer Limited train, comforts and facili ties the best ever produced. This train has been described many times in news papers and magazines, but should bo seen and examined to be appreciated. In beauty of finish, richness and elegance of furnishing nothing equal to it has ever been attempted by any other road. The ear builders were nearly a year in com pleting the Pioneer Limited trains (there are two one leaving Chicago for the West and the other leaving the Twin Cities for tho East every evening in tho year) and they stand today a monument to the buililors' art. No regular passen ger train service in America is as well known as tho Pioneer Limited. From the standpoint of passenger traffic the past twelve months have been th most successful in the history of the St. Paul road, mado so very largely by the Pio neer Limited. The patronago of this ser vice is a striking illustration of tho fact that tho public appreciates a good thing, Thousand Island Excursion July 1st. Tho W. N. Y. A P.
