oi KtpUbUc&n p i . 'i be first can-.-is the enormoui Inflation of the curr. ncy, both by the Increased output of told and the new national bank c :rlency issued bjf the small banks, established sines the act allowing the ine on oration of banks with fffSiOOQ capHal. Also the result of another clause of the same a.-t amending the old law, so that banks are reeeiri&g par in currency fur the bonds they deposit with the United States treasury, inatead of only 3D per cent, under the old law. Without taking apace to show the detail! of this enormous Inflation of the currency, it is only n. c-sary to lay that whereas the average circulation per capita in mm waa 921.4T, now it is 141.40 and advancing at the ra;e of about one dollar per capita, or S0,000,000 a year. Mow much further thla In tlation will go is an unsettled problem, but the output of gold is still inreasing. The Democratic claim in isac of the quantitative theory that the volune? of money in circulation fixes prices fo.commodities is justified by events, but that COBten loa was not intended to be aaCOnipanied with irjt ex-or-tlon. The se -nd reason f r a still greater advance in pricea is the Organisation oi trusts and combines to control and naow poiize prod net ion. Th.? enacttas I the Dingley tariff bill by the Itepub;i a:is in ;-.7. which greatly increas-d tße protective duties on most articps of lonsumption, has fos'ered tl. traatl and combines to an ixtent never anticipate even by its authors. The average rate of duty collected on the

value of these lmpoits taxed, is close to M per cent. That enormous tax and murh higher per cent, on most trust productions i rotects the trusts from loreign competition an I baa allowel them to advance prices about 10 per e::t. on the average and still monopolize the home market. The enormous profits that many of the combines have made has Btlmttlated prodoctiOB so that the American people have n unable

to purchase all the trtsts have produced, the total amount being beyond the power cf the people to p .; aaoe. To dispose eif this surplus the trusts have bean and still are selling this surplus In foreign countries at much less price than they sell the same producta here for. The tariff has protected tht trusts In doing this and. of course, they demand that this protection be con tinned. The Republican party has agree J to "atand pat"--that la, not revise the tariff. W'lien tho Diaglejr tariff bill was enacted, it provided for recipro ity with foreign nations, and it was the Intention that reciprocity treaties shall be ratified with foreign crun tries, by making mutual con . , ns of about 125 per cent of the duties on IhOM p"cial produces each wanted to lelt and the duties were purpoaely r. i- l per cent, to cover that prpo-' count. Such treaties were BaffCtlatea by President McKinley, but the Hepubiican majority in the acnate, ooatrolled by the trusts, have refused to ratify b ie treaties and so the trusts continue to exact the enormous prod's that the tariff prcte ts thera in egtortlrff. The government le. eivts but a sm ill percentage of the tariff tax. for the

tax being so high it prevents Imp r buttons, but the trusts add an average of altout 4o per cent, to the price of 'heir producta because the tariff preents foreign pools from coming into his ( ountry and com: 'Inf, with them. We thus have the aato in liag aaoai ily if the trusta virtually collecting I . ureiter pnrt of the tari.T tax by i-i-reaslng their prices w hich the tat iff protects them in doing, while th" revBOW I arc not BUfBclent to run the gov-1 eminent. The tariff Is. therefore the chief e of high pricea. The Denaocratn and aom.o Repufadlcani Who ere hot etM enough to oppose this trust nionojudy, nve declared for su b tariff r vk:o:i is would reduce the pri M of trust i r i UCttOOl to a reasonable basis, but the ItepQhltcaS leaders who control the po-
