CHARLOTTE DAILY OBSERVER, APRIL 17, 1003. butax os the issrES. Secretary Taft Holds Out No Promise of K-lief For Crying V.rlU Trust families the Onlj Opes . That Measure Xpl to the- Roosevelt .' Standard. V-. v:rt." Detroit,- Mich.. 'April William X Bryan to-night concluded- a two- dura speaking- trip through Mtcht . can with an address before a large audience la the Light Guard Armory on "The Point or view.- Mr. . Bryan- arrived in this city at ( o'clock from - Jackson, Mich. He was given an enthusiastic reception. He began his address by -,: pointing , out r the ' growth In popularity , of Democratic policies, distinguishing as he proceeded between the Democratic policies, ai he expressed it, of the president ' and the un-Democratlc nellctes of the President; "I J 894 President McKlnley said that what we needed was the open '- Ing of fhe mills Instead of the open a lng of the mints," he said. "Now, , with industry lagging and multitudes " out of employment, we are told that :. 'we ought to start the printing presses M work. Issuing more bank notes. Instead of turning the wheels of In ' duetry. ' The truW. whose existence was denied by the Republicans a few years ago, is now an admitted evil, and while the President has gained popularity by a few prosecutions, he , has not yet sent a trust magnate to the penitentiary, and since the birth rate in the trust family is greater - than the death rate, we may assume that this Is onV family at least which '' measures up to the President's Ideas In regard to - the size of families. ' Secretary Taft, who seems to be re garded as the representative of,re . formed Republican party, (I do not mean to slight Senator LaFoIlette, a ml rfArmfr. hut he does not wem to meet with the favor of the Re publican leaders), givea no promise of effective relief from trusts, either through administration or leglsla . Hon. The people, however, under " stand the trust question better than - ever before and will, 1 think, de mand the enactment of a law em bod ring the" Democratic idea that a . private monopoly is indefensible and Intolerable. On the tariff question ins uemocrsuc position nnn biwi grown in favor and now we have the ' Republicans In a neck and neck race to see -who can make the loudest .promises in favor ' of tariff reform without really . reducing the ' tariff. "No one .will doubt that the peo- pi ' nave Been - aroused to the ne eeslty for railroad regulation. - The legislation thus far secured has af forded but small measure of re. lief. Instead of giving a definite promise of specific legislation neces sary for effective jcontrol the Re publican leaders are actually plan ning to weaken rather than strengthen regulation, for the plan to give national Incorporation Is merely a plan to deprive the States of control without any assurance that Congress will do any better In . the future than It has In the pafct. On the new phase of the railroad i question the Republican party Is equally out of harmony with the public. The Democrats demand legislation which wilt withdraw from the lower Federal courts the power to suspend State laws, leaving the corporations free to prosecute an appeal from the highest State court. The Republican leaders side with the railroads against the public on this question." In discussing Imperialism, Mr. Bryan referred to tht? demand for four new battleships and congratu lated Conirress for cutting It down to two. He used It to Illustrate the evils of imperialism and said that the Democrats had for several years been calling attention .to the fact that the colonial policy. If persisted In, will not only "weaken our at . tachment to the doctrine of self- government, but Increase our army and navy and involve us In all the perils of a land-grabhlng policy. ': "There Is dsnger of war In the cultivation of the military spirit; the best guaranty of peace Is to be found In the establishment of a reputation i for fair dealing and In the considera tion of the rights of others." xXtIOXAL" C0TT05 SFTWERS. Manufacturers From AO Over the ; Cnited State In Attendance Cpon the Eighty-Fourth Annual Ses sion mt BdHton The Address . of .; u President.. .Boston, April it. Cotton- manu facturers and persons connected with allied Industries from all parts of the United States were in attendance to day at the ' eighty-fourth '- annual meeting of the Natlona.1 Association of Cotton Manufacturers. President William D. ' Hartehorne, it Lawrence, Mass, called the con ventlon to order, and acting Govern or Draper welcomed the members of the association to the state. President Hartshorn addressed the convention In part as follows: H "One of the most Important events in the oast six months which "our panic conditions unduly overshadow' ed was the Atlanta conference. It was earnestly felt by those who took part in this conference tnat it was an epoch-making event. The meeting to gether face to face of rival interests and the formulating of resolutions coverlnr so many details in regard to the-cotton-growing industry ana tne trade relations governing the same, where It was necessary for absolute unanimity to carry any resolution was noteworthy achievement. "Manufacturers from the United States, ' many from across the water. and representatives from the cotton exchanges met the planter upon :nis own ground and it Is to the credit of the planter that he acknowledged without cavil the handicap which faulty methods had placed upon the cotton-rrowlnx Industry "and which was reflected back against him by the serious results to the cotton spinners. Some of the methods of the cotton exchange received the strongest con-, demnatlon of both spinner and plant er, but against efforts to legislate ex changes out of existence, wiser coun cil prevailed. "It Is to be regretted that the mat ter of permanent organizations has so far hung fire, only a few of the associations represented havirjg ap pointed delegates. The first setback came from the British Master Cot ton Spinners'. Association, a branch of the International Federation, who claimed that' to multiply organisa tions would not he of benefit to the Industry, their efforts being confined to endeavors to unite our manufac turing Industries on this Side of the water with the International federa tion. This would seem practically Impossible of attainment, even In a verv limited wav. Not all the Inter ests of our manufacturers are by anv means Identical with those of our Eu ropean friends, and it would seem that the only kind of unity of Inter est would be such as could he repre sented In periodical conferences, which It was the ohjert of the per manent organization to foster and maintain.

Ocean Liners Come Together In New York Ray, But No Uvea Are Iosi Passengers of One Steamer Are Transferred and Wrecking Tugs Arc Standing by. New York, April Is. Two ocean liners, the Monterey, of the Ward line, bound for Havana, and the Dan ish steamer United States, of 'the Scandinavian-American line, bound . for Copenhagen, collided in rhe main hip channel In lower New 'York hay to-day. Both vessels were damaged, but no lives were lost and n'o one, so far as reported, was Injured.

They will be forwarded to Havana by another stesmer, A targa hols was stove In the Unit ed States' hull on the starboard side, abaft the engines, and so threatening was Its nature that it was deemed wise to run her aground on a bank on the channel's edge. There the - steamer is resting easily to-night, the weather being clear and calm. Sev. . eral wrecking tuxs are standing bv. Temporary repairs will be made and men tne ressef win he pulled off so that she can return to the city for permanent repairs.

II intertnedlate and "S7 steerage pas sengers at the time of the accident. No great excitement occurred on eith er vessel, and fearful passengers were quickly calmed by the ship's officers - The United States, serordlng to the accounts, steamed down the bay In the wake of (he Monterey, hut after going by the quarantine station the Danish steamer passed the American steamer, and it wai Just aftr this that the accident occurred. According to tome, the United States had to . check herself suddenly to ovoid run ning down a schooner, and before the Monterey, which was close behind, eould be stopped, the collision occurr ed. ; Others were Inclined to blame the officers of the United States for passing the Monterey In the conlne.l limits of the ship channel An Inves tigation probably will have to be awaited to place the responsibility. iete ro-mgnt a wrecking tug came : up to the city from th scene of the collision and reported that the engine room of the United States was filling wiin water, indicating that tha steam er had been damaged below the water line. opposition to the Alnrich mil. canea en President Itooievelt to-day and made known their views to mm Since coming to Washington to fight the Aldrich bill, the commission has nHid lornn attention to the bill of Representative Vreeland, of New York. The xlst of the commission's ob Jectlons to the Vreeland bill as well as to the Aldricn Din is general op position to a bond secured emergency circulation. Aaaet currency Is what ! favored by the bankers. The President gave considerable time to listening to their views The commlsilon held a conference with' Representative Vreeland to-day In return to bis bill. The commission Indicated several amendments to the hill which thev anld would make It aatlsfactory to them. An agreement was reached to reduce from $10,000,000 to 15.000.000 the aggregate amount of capital required to permit national banks to form voluntary clearing house associations to hold commer cial paper to be used In addition to' bonds as serurlty for emergency cur rency. The reason given by the bankers -for desiring this reduction was the necessity of having such as sociations cover a smaller section of the country, which they claimed would result In rrenter facility In tha scru tiny of security. The bankers also desired to reduce from six to four per rent the Inltlnl rate of Interest to be charged and It is likely that a com mtttee promise will be made on five per cent. No encouragement was given to their proposition to allow the assets of the hanks to be accepted for one half of the Issue nf emergency currency. The chief dltrerenres between the Vreeland snd the Aldrich bills are That the rormer permits the use of commercial paper as well a bonds for half of the emergency circulation taken out: the omission of any change In the hw in reference to hank reserves, and the omission of the TaFollette prohibition against the loaning of money by banks to Insti tution,, the officers or directors of whl'-h are nftVers or directors of the MINNESOTA PO RTAPT.

Hearings Continued Before Chair man LlttleAeld's Sub-Cotnmltt Letter From. Andrew Carnegie I rges ifopoeea Changes. Washington. April 16. Hearings on the national civic federation bill to amend tha Sherman anti-trust law were continued to-day before Chair man Llttlefield's sub-committee of the House judiciary committee. Beth Low, president of the federation, submitted amendments to his bill ..so altering its provisions that tha Inter State commerce commission.. Instead of the President and the . commis sioners of corporations, shall be the arbitrators of all matters of . refer ence, designation and decision which would arise under the operation of the bill. Mr. Low said these amend' ments had been agreed upon as likely to meet and satisfy the most serious of the objections thus far urged against the federation s measure. Mr. Low laid before the committee a letter from Andrew Carnegie, In support of the proposed changes. Mr. Carnegie's letter was written with the purpose of supporting the Idea that authority should not be divided between the tnter-State com merce commission and othc-i Hodles or other officials. He contreded that It was necessary for the government to exercise control over common car riers engaged In inter-State com merce and declared that this power should be lodged in the Inter-State commerce commission. He then con cludea that Industrial concerns en gaged In Inter-State traffic should be similarly controlled. Mr. Henry Towne, representing the merchants' association of New York, opposed the federation bill. 'We business men, he said, "want a law which will define our rights which will tell ua what we may and what we may not do. The federation bill does not do this." Pickera .BeYolving Flat Cards f -.
