TRUSTS FAVOR TAFT

“Interests” Are Strongly Represented on the Republican Committee. BHELDOH OFFICIAL FAT FRIER List of Those from Whom He Got Contributions Republican Treasurer is Director in 21 Corporations—Raised Big Fund in 1900 Recommended by Standard Oil Attorney. Chicago, October 1. —(Special.)—In connection with the controversy which the President has raised as to whether the trusts and financial concerns are most Interested in the election of Mr. Taft or Mr. Bryan, the Democratic National Committee Calls attention to a few of the controlling spirits tn the Republican Committee who are actively Interested In trusts and monopolies. At the head of the list stands George R. Sheldon, treasurer of the Republican National Committee. Mr. Sheldon’s selection tor this Important post of official “fat frier” was made upon recommendation of Wm. Nelson Cromwell, the great corporation lawyer of Wall Street, attorney for the Panama Canal Company, E. H. Harriman, the Standard Oil Company, the Sugar Trust, Kuhn, Loeb A Co., bankers and brokers, and other favored Interests. Almost Immediately after his appointment, Mr. Sheldon Is reported to have received a contribution from Mr. Cromwell, amounting to 356,000. Mr. Sheldon is a multi-millionaire, the active head of the banking firm of W. C. Sheldon & Co.,' 3 Wall Street According to the "Directory of Directors," for the present year, Mr. Sheldon’s name appears as a director in the following 21 corporations: American Locomotive Company. American Locomotive Automobile Company, » Bethlehem Steel Corporation, Cincinnati Northern Railroad Company.

Detroit Edison Company, Electrical Securities Corporation, Laclede Gaslight Company, Locomotive and Machine Company of Montreal (limited!, Locomotive Security Company, Metropolitan Trust Company, Milwaukee Electric Railway & Light Co., Milwaukee, Light, Heat and Traction Co., National Copper Bank, New Jersey Terminal Dock and Improvement Co., North American Co., Republic Steel & Iron Co., of New Jersey, Rogers Locomotive Works, St. Louis Transit Co., Union Bag & Paper Co. of New Jersey, Union Electric Light & Power Co., Union Electric Light & Power Co., of St. Louis. Mr. Sheldon's connection with the j Locomotive Trust places him tn closeconnection with the railroads of the ; country, where he is able to procure; their campaign contributions''. He lai also a confidential agent < J. Pierpont Morgan in his Wall street deals, and assisted In the formation of the Shipbuilding trust. His North American company controls the traction Interests of St. Paul and Minneapolis. He is president of the Union League club, of which Rockefeller, Morgan, Carnegie and other powers In Wall street are also members. He is also said to be a member of 20 other clubs whose membership Includes practically all of the operators In Wall street. In 1908 Mr.* Sheldon was treasurer of the New York State Republican committee, and succeeded so well In frying the fat from the interests that Mr. Cromwell recommended him for a similar job with the National committee. According to the sworn statement of Mr. Sheldon, published after the campaign, he raised 1333,923.60 chiefly from these interests. The following Is a partial list of the contributors as shown in Mr. Sheldon’s statement: J. Pierpont Morgan, Wall street banker and promoter ....... $20,000 Levi P. Morgan, banker. Wall street 20,000 John D. Rockefeller, of Stand- t ard Oil 5,000 Andrew Carnegie 5,000 Chauncey M. Depew, railroad and Standard Oil senator .. 5,000 H. R. Hollins, financier 5,000 Jacob H.

Duke, tobacco trust ...*. 500 D. O. Mils - 500 H. M. Flagler, Standard 0U.... 500 Arbuckle Bros. Coffee Trust.... 600 Henry Clewa, Wall street banker 250 This is only a partial list of the trust magnates and financiers who contributed to Mr. Sheldon's fund. An Index as to how much more Mr. Sheldon may be able to raise from these interests for the national campaign, the fact may be cited that Mr. Cromwell gave >I,OOO to the state fund, and Increased the amount to 150,000 for the national campaign. Fred W. Upham of Chicago is assistant treasurer pf the Republican National committee. He is a millionaire several times over, and a member of the County Board of Review of Illinois, which passes upon the amount of taxes which corporations and large estates shall pay in that state. He is a director In several corporations and 1* in charge of the collection of cam- , palgn funds in the west. On August 21, 1908, after his appointment as Assistant Treasurer of the Republican committee, Mr. Upham sent out thousands of letters to corporation officials whose taxes he passes upon as a member of the Board of Review, urging them to contribute to the Republican fund as “Individuals," and requesting them “to bring this matter ’to the attention of your business associates.” The suggestion implied is regarded as significant. Five of the nine members of the Republican committee are: Charles F. Brooker, Connecticut millionaire, members of N. Y. Chamber of Commerce, and vice-president New York, New Haven Railroad Co., against which a government suit Is now pending, and one of the leading spirits in the brass trust. Frank O. Lowden, multi-millionaire, vice-president Pullman Palace Car Co., which Is a Monopoly.

E. C. Duncan, director Atlantic & North Carolina railway, and other corporations, receiver Seaboard Air Line, and official dispenser of patronage in North Carolina. T. Coleman DuPont, controlling factor In Powder Twat, against which the government has a stilt now pending for dissolution. Boise Penrose, political boss of Pennsylvania, head of the corrupt Republican organization In Philadelphia, and conspicuous in many corporations. Roy O. West, chairman of the Republican State Committee of Jll., is also chairman of the County Board of Equalization, which passes upon corporation taxes. Fred A. Sims, acting chairman of the Republican State committee of Indiana, is also chairman of the State Tax board, which passes upon the taxes levied against corporations. Mr. DuPont has been forced to resign from the executive committee because of his trust connections, but Mr. Brooker, against whose company the government has a suit. Is still a member of the committee.

PROTECTING DEPOSITS IN BANKS.

An Ohio Example of Taft's Position •nd Oklahoma's Proof of Bryan's Position. ( One of the planks of the Denver platform favors guaranteed bank deposits. Mr. Bryan addressed the Ohio legislature in February favoring guaranteed deposits. Former Governor Herrick subsequently addressed the legislature in reply to Mr. Bryan, opposing any such protection for banks and bank depositors. Mr. Taft, in his speech of acceptance, denounced the plank of the Denver platform, which declares for a national law for banks similar to the Oklahoma law for state banks, thereby coinciding in the views of Mr. Herrick and opposing the views of Mr. Bryan. Below are two dispatches showing what Mr Bryan stands for and what Mr. Taft stands for: \ THE OHIO WAY. Cleveland, 0., Aug. 17.—The creditors’ committee, charged with an investigation of the affairs of the defunct Farmers and Merchants’ bank, the cashier of which, Henry W. Gazell, is under arrest charged with embezzlement, tonight reported that the depositors will be forced to shoulder • loss of $415,000. The report, made ip a meeting of 2,800 depositors, charged the deficit to Gasoil, alleging his speculations proved disastrous to the institution. TAFT STANDS FOR THIS. THE OKLAHOMA WAY. Guthrie, Okla., May 21.—Within one hour from the time H. H. Smock, Oklahoma banking commission, had taken charge of the International Bank of Colgate he had authority to pay the depositors in full, though the bank’s cash and available funds tn other banks fell $22,000 short of the total amount of deposits. The commissioner was able to do this uni der the operation of the new banking I law, and this is the first time it has been called into use. BRYAN STANDS FOR THiS. t

The Republican National committee ' says it gets no money from the Stand* ' ard Oil company. Does that concern, i then, give its money direct to Rapub | Ucan candidates?

CURE FOR THE TBUSTS

Would a Trial of “Free List” Remedy Kill Industry? MR. TAFT’S MEMORY SHORT. First Says That He Argues For Removal of “Excessive Rates,’’ Then Rsverts to Old Stand Pat Theory. Trust Protection Is Pure Graft. In Mr. Taft’s speech of acceptance be said:

“The tariff iu a'number of schedules exceeds the difference between the cost of production of such articles abroad and at home, including a reasonable profit to the American producer. The excess over that difference serves no useful purpose, but offers a temptation to those who would monopolize the production and sale of such articles in this country to profit by the excessive rate.” In Mr. Taffs “canned speech” contrasting the Republican and Democratic remedies for trusts as we take it off the phonographic record he commends the Republican plan to control “illegal trusts” with “injunctive process” and “criminal prosecution,” but condemns the Democratic plan of putting trust produced articles on the free list and thus removing the tariff wall which permits many trusts to charge monopoly prices. Mr. Taft seems to have forgotten the statement quoted above from his speech of acceptance dhat too high duties tempt trusts—“those who would monopolize production and sale.” He now reverts to the old stand pat theory that an ounce of cure Is worth a pound of prevention. He would continue the temptation of high duties and then enjoin and prosecute those who yield to the temptation. This Is the more popular theory among the trusts, for if they are continually putting the swag ln|p their pockets through high duties they will gladly risk “injunctions” and “prosecutions." They care as jpuch about them as a dog cares about mosquitoes when he is devouring an ample roast. In the “canned speech” Mr. Taft says, referring to the putting of trust products on the free llstt “If such a course would be utterly destructive of their business, as is Intended, it would destroy not only the trusts, but all their smaller competitors.” He deprecates the enormous loss to capital and the lack of employment for labor which would follow the destruction of trusts and the elimination of the wealth they represent from the productive capital of the country. If Mr. Taft will turn to his acceptance speech he will find authority for the conclusion that removing “excessive rates” of duty will not destroy any Industry, but will only destroy its “trust” or monopolistic character and make It a legitimate business. His statement that the Democratic plan “is Intended” to be “utterly destructive of the business” of the trusts is entirely without warrant. The putting of a trust product on the free list could have no destructive tendency so far as honest, not monopolistic, industry is concerned unless it is true that the trust’s business cannot be reasonably successful without the aid of a tariff duty. Can Mr. Taft mention a single trust which would have to go out of business If its product were on the free list? Is It not notorious that their protection Is pure graft? Would it be a concern like the steel trust, the oil trust or the borax trust, which are known to sell their products abroad In large quantities at much lower price* than they force Americans to pay? Which one of the scores of trusts that export their products and compete successfully with foreigners In foreign markets wm be named as unable to compete against the goods of the same foreigners sent freely to the United States? Until It Is shown that such • case would arise it is Idle to talk of the elimination of capital from industry or the throwing of workmen out of employment. The putting of trust products on the free list would reduce the monopoly prices of sugar, salt, luAber, steel, iron, machinery, clothing, shoes, coal, glassware, paluts, paper, cutlery, tinware and many other articles to a more reasonable figure without Injury to any Interest except monopoly. To remove the “temptation to monopoly” is more effective than to enjoin men from yielding or to prosecute them after they have yielded.

JESSE F. ORTON.

“Reasonable Profits.”

The late William B. Leeds in a short time accumulated an estate of more than $30,000,000 by the manufacture of tin plate. The duty of S3O per ton gave him and his associates a monopoly of the American market and enabled them to carve not one but many fortunes out of the necessities of the American people. Possibly this is what Mr. Taft refers to as “a reasonable profit” for the manufacturer, but to the workingman It looks more like a graft tax on his buckets, basins, dippers, pans and his empty dinner pall.

Who Is to Be the Judge?

' When it is proposed to guarantee "reasonable profits” to the already opulent beneficiaries of the tariff, who is to say what is “reasonable?” Judging by the way congress has made up schedules in the pest, Edward M. Shepard concludes that the “profits” will be such as “those beneficiaries deem reasonable.” This conclusion seems eminently “reasonable.” • ■
