RIDDEN BY THE TRUSTS. EXCLUSION OF CHINT b. 1 Republican Promises Bioken at the A Matter of Great Interest to Worl.

B -hest of Combine and Mo- ingmen Ienorod bv the Powers J

nopoly Managers. When you hear a republican saying; there i no need to reform the tariff, ask bin why the rates in the Dingloy bill the present tarifT law were maelc so much higher than the McKinley law, which was higher than any other previous tariff. The fa.-t that the rates are higher uuw ihp.n ever b.toie would eem to demand reform. It was admitted by Senator Dolllvcr. of ljva, in a .-p. h in the senate that t he rates were pUTpObely incre'a.-ed to allow for reductions hat might be made iu reciprocity treaties with foreign countries, Mr. Ksssoa was seltited by President McKinley to negotiate reciprocity iregtiM an 1 he did so with Franc". Nicaragua. Ecuador, Argentina and the llritish and Weal Indies. Bat the republican leaders in the United Slates senate refused to allow those treaties to be ratified, and the Dingier law rates have continued to bo paid by the people of tho United States without the small concessions that the reciprocity treaties would have made on some articles. And yet the republican national platform of HOQ contained these words: "Reciprocity and protection are twin measures of republican polity and go hand-in-hand ." The Iowa state plaform of l'JOl said: "We endorse the policy of lerlprooity as the natural complement ot protection and urge its development as necessary to the realization of our highest commercial possibilities." And that tariff plank closed with this Important declaration: "We favor any modification of ti;e tariff schedules that may be repaired to prevent their affording a shelter Ui monopoly. " Nearly every state republican plat form has declared for reoiproe-ity, and some of them declared for such modifications of the tariff chedule as may 6etm to be required. The Idaho republican platform of 1902 declared outspokenly for tariff revision and contained tho nioft radical nntltrust plank that any political party has iocnrii for. It says: "Wo favor a revision of the tariff without unroainab!e delay which will place upon the free list every arti-ae and product controlled by any monopoly and such Other articles and product! as are bo ond the! need of protection." in spite of these declarations and premise! Baads bp the republicans. President Roosevelt and the loaders in congress have determined to not even onsider the tariff, or attempt to modify those si hedulos that give the trusts their monopotjr f the market for many of the necessaries' of life. The republicans n fu.-e to ratify the reciprocity treaties of their own making and thoy refuse to rede CO the Ibngley rates, although they purposely placed those rates much higher thin the protected trusts asked, that when the reciprocity treaties were ratified the trust and combines would still be amply protected Hut the trusts controlled tho republiin an leaden and have been strong enough to keep the law intact, and the protect lonists declare it mujt not be torn hed. Thus are we tariff taxed and trust ridib'ii Ask your rep-ionran neighbor how be likes this do-nothing programme of his party and if ho thinks his prosperity is enhanced by It, I-rfH the prevailing de-mocratic motives bo concession and unification. Lot the democrats take the broadest view of tho situation. It is a churlish and untoward spirit. Indeed, which can resist the appeal for liberality and pat riotism as against mere factionalism and past dissension It Is, under the?e conditions, a perve-rse uman niture which can submit to narrow restraints; a aiggerdlj human nature which could supinely lob-rate tho ugly prospct of losing again when a fine spirit of accord and an Intelligent contest will bring victory St. Louis Republic. The Smoot case is becoming a polltlcnl embarrassment for the republican leaders If Smoot shall be expelled T'tah. Nevada, Colorado. Mon taha and Idaho, where there Is con slderablo nimman vote, will be put In the tfsTt of doubtful state-- If the senate shall fall to expel him there will bo eastern dlsgutt to contend with. It fs more than likely, under the eircjun stances, that IWislve action will he postpone i until after the election A poI"on on the fence Is cnnfo-e-eily awkward for tho republican elephant, but there seems to bo no help for It. ?hiia lelpbla Record.
