In their endeavors to humbug the people, especially the Republicans who are demanding tariff revision and trust regulation, Republican speakers and papers, as a rule, de clare that the Republican party will when the proper time comes, revise the tariff on Republican lines and brine: the trusts, that is, if they can discover any bad trusts, to time. But.thls isn't the time, they say; we are prosperous now and any "tink ering" with the tariff would alarm capital, unsettle business and do more harm than good. That's what Mark Hanna says, that's what says Speaker Henderson, who declined a unanimous nomination for Con- 1.1 XI J 1.1 gresa rainer toau euuurae me yiaua. of the Iowa Republican platform which demands tariff revision and trust regulation. That's what all the Dingley tariff ites say. Senator Hanna says if you favor tariff revision "where will you be gin?" and answers it by saying you had better not begin at all. "Let well enough alone." "Stand pat." Senator Lodge, addressing a meet ing of a Republican club in Boston, in answering the demand for free raw materials told them it was dan gerous to attempt to put some mate rials on the free list however de sirable that might be, because when it was proposed it put one on a de mand would be made for another and another, and thus the fight would begin, extend all along the line and the whole tariff question would be opened and the protective system be endangered if not de stroyed. That's the way they try to recon cile the people to the burdens they have to bear, while promising to re lieve them of some of the burdens, in the good time to come, they and protected interests being the judges as to when the good time will come. But there are some Republicans who believe the time has come, and that there will never be any better time to begin the work of tariff re vision than now. Governor Cum mins, of Iowa, who was one of the Republican advance guard in the movement for tariff revision and trust regulation, is one of these, and one who talks very plainly, earnestly and convincingly. In Chicago they celebrate every thing, even the disasters that give the city prominence. Last Thurs day was the 31st anniversary of the "big fire" which swept away such a large portion of that city. It was celebrated with a grand banquet to which a number of eminent men and speakers were invited, among them Governor Cummins, of Iowa, who was down on a programme for a speech and took the opportunity to defend the Iowa ids and demand for tariff revision and trust curbing at the iama time answering the as sertion of those who say that this isn't the time to touch the tariff. After quoting from the Iowa plat form, and showing just what it says and means, he said: "It has been said by illustrious lea den of the Republican party that a modification of the tariff Is not a reme dy for the trusts. I take tbia opportu nity to say for the Republicans of Iowa who have adopted the platform which I have read that they wholly aree with thts -view, and have not proposed to effectually repair the wrongs that are perpetrated by un - lawful combinations, by any adjust ment or abatement of the tariff ached ales. No thinking - man can doubt htt large corporations are absolutely necemry to carry on, wconren leace and economy, the growing busi- new of the world, and however great a corporations becomes, if it develops in a natural way, through the recog nized laws of commerce and through the energy and sagacity of its mana gers against the competition of others engaged In like business, it ought not to be the object of disfavor or condem nation; on ihe other hand it should bo the subject of just pride and mar the rising tide of a better civilization "These are not the corporations which excite public indignation and which whether we desire it or not, must be examined and discussed in this campaign. The corporations or combinations to which the Iowa plat form refers are those which have been brought together not to outstrip com petition in a fair race, but to destroy competition by the actual obliteration of independent establishments, and which accomplish their purpose either by purchase or piracy. They are in variably accompanied by the issuance of vast quantities of stocks which have no basis save the audacity of promo ters, and which serve two ends equally objectionable. First, to enrich beyond comprehension the movers of the nefa rious enterprises; and, second, to cloak the enormous profits which may be extorted from their hopeless victims. "While I believe that the plan they adopt is as weak as it is vicious, and that the ordinary operation of the im mutable laws of commerce would in the course of time overthrow them, nAattiAiAaa it ia the dutv of the government to hasten their disintegra tion and downfall by every power within the scone of organized society Pflrsnn&llv I am of the opinion that the two direct remedies to be employ ed are, first, to prevent the issuance o: trks.tr in atrmu ni me moner ur iui Mai valiin nf Ihn nrnnflrtv contributed to the corporation ; and, second, to de tinn more clear lv the crime of estab lishing or attempting to establish monopoly. "There are but two forces that can be trusted to fix price competition and the regulation or organized gov The latter is totally inad misnihle and we must preserve the fnimr Tt ii therefore the high and imnAMtiM fintv nf the covernment so adjust its laws that there will be the least possible motive lor me aesiruc tion of competition. "The exnerience of the Dist few vears hat shown us that ambitious spirits are able to establish and main tain monopolies in some of the impor tant products of industry, and with re pect to these things it is self-evident that the tariff duties in some measure are a shelter, because they deprive us of the opportunity to invite competi tion from other lands. This is a Republican, not a Dem ocrat, who is talking, and a Repub lican protectionist, too, but one who recognizes the fact that while there are legitimate corporations which do baaiaess on honest business princi ples which are entitled to recogni tion and encouragement, there are also illegitimate, grasping, extorting combinations which come under the provisions of the anti-trust laws and should be held amenable and re strained, or destroyed if necessary. Depriving such corporations of the protection they have under the Dingley tariff may not be a com plete remedy, but it would be one of the remedies. In speaking of this he said: "Fortunately, while the combina tions produce many things, they have as yet been able to secure monopolies in few things, but avarice is per sistent, and what may be accomplish ed in tne future no man dare predict. Therefore the Republicans of Iowa say that when trade in any protected commodity reaches the point of a sin gle producer the tariff duty upon that commodity shall be suspended until the laws of business resume their rightful sway. -There is here no menace to lawful industry, no threat against the proper em ployment of capital. Monopoly is a crime that men need not commit. and the suspension of the tariff during the existence of the offence will with draw at least one motive that induces sreed to violate the laws of the land. Protection is the essential principle of Republicanism, but competition is the eternal law of industrial life We should, and will, enforce both; but if temporarily wealth ignores the latter and erects itself into monopoly, then the consumer has a better right to competition than the producer has to protection. Competition we must have that of the republic if possible; that of the world if necessary. "It Is well-nigh Inconceivable that contention shall long exist upon a proposition so full of justice and so emphatically taught by the experience of mankind To enforce it cannot in jure the weaker competitorr of combi nations, for it is not to be applied un til competitors cease to exist. It is not answered by the statement that the combination may be enlarged and embrace the whole world of produc tion. So It may, but I reply, the pro gress is more difficult, the bonds of union less secure. It is a menace not so imminent; and if it be true that sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof,' it is yet more true that suffi cient unto the evil is the day thereof. I leave it in your hands with one ques tion. If Congress had the power to grant monopolies, do you think it would be wise to confer upon a single corporation the exclusive right to manufacture steel rails, barbed wire, tin plate, or glass and at the same time impose heavy duties upon their impor tation v Here is an effective answer to Secretary Shaw, when he says that repealing the tariff duties on trust controlled articles would in jure the other manufacturers more than it would the trusts; that it would, in the effort to restrain and punish the guilty, bo punishing the innocent more than the guilty. That's what Secretary Shaw says, and scores of Republican speakers echo him and repeat it with as much assurance and emphasis as if it were an original discovery. But Secre tary Shaw knows better; his echoers know better. They know the effect that competition would have in bringing these monopolistic com bines within bounds, but standing by the combines as they do they adopt this fraudulent line of argu ment to humbug the people. But they are not doing it much. Mr. B. R. Collins and Miss Clark, of Norfolk, Va., aged respectively 60 and 49 years, after being engaged and courting lor thirty years, con cluded that it was time to quit their foolishness, called in a squire and got married.

A CRT OF DISTRESS. For some time leading Republi cans have been very active in their efforts to get the coal barons to make some concessions to the striking miners, to end the strike and ihe coal famine which has already become such a serious mat ter, so serious that it could scarcely be exaggerated. We are not disposed to attribute all the interest they are taking in this matter to solicitude for the party, although it is a well known fact that they are very much con cerned about this and fear that a continuance of the strike, which the coal magnates could stop if they would, and a continuance of the coal shortage will result in their party's defeat in November, but some of them candidly acknowledge this, as Congressman Grosvenor does in the following telegram to Clement A. Griscom a veritable cry of distress: Public sentiment in this section bit ter against cosl operators beyond de scription. If continued it will assure a Democratic Congress and financial ruin. Mr. Morsran. if he interfere sod effect settlement now, would establish himself in a posttion stronger than any living American. 'The result would react favorably upon all his real enterprises. It would be better from a mere selfish stand point than all the anthracite coal in the country is worth, but from the hu manitarian standpoint be a benefac tion. "I go home to-morrow to face nine thousand mad coal miners, with a miner csndidate against me." General Grosvenor is a confident, aggressive campaigner. He is a can didate for re-election, and he would never have uttered this wail of woe if he didn't see trouble ahead and feel the need of help. And yet in this cry the selfish, sordid element enters and figures. He appeals to Mr. Morgan's selfish ness by reminding him that the ending of the strike ' 'would re act favorably on all his real enterprises" and "would be worth more than all the anthracite coal in the country is worth," and lastly, "from a hnma tarian standpoint," his successful intervention . would be "a benefac tion," which, under the circum stances, if Gen. Grosvenor was not so scared and so much alarmed at the facing of those "nine thousand mad coal miners," with "a miner candidate" against him, should have been the first consideration. It is, however, a very loud, shrill and significant squeal, from a self confident, doughty champion who seldom squeals. Mr. John Markle, ono of tho Pennsylvania coal barons, doesn't think the striking miners ought to be allowed to play football." Some of them were having a game a few days ago when he asked the captain of a company to drive them away. The colonel heard the request and answered that the players were not doing any harm and to interfere with them might cause a scrap that would make it necessary to shoot a dozen or fifteen of them. That made Mr. Markle hot, and he re plied that they would have to shoot 150 of tbem before they went to work. Markle is a daisy. A story comesf rom Tennessee that an old darkey there who had been informed that he had been allowed, a pension of $16 a month refused it, saying that he wanted to' be inde pendent even of the government, Properly called a "story," no doubt.

Craig and Pritchard closed at Ashe ville Saturday, and ended as it be; gan, with mutual compliments, Mr. Craig referring to Mr. Pritch ard as the "ablest living Republican in North Carolina," which, although intended as a compliment to Mr. Pritchard, is not much of a compli ment to the living Republicans in North Carolina, while Mr. Pritchard reciprocated by referring to his com petitor as his "logical successor in the Senate in the event the Demo crats carry the Legislature," and "the ablest exponent in the State of Democratic principles." This is very courteous and very nice, although there are a good many people who heard the joint debates who will not agree fully with either of them. Mr. Craig is able and eloquent and maintained his side of the de bate with spirit and with much credit to himself, while Mr. Pritch ard was cunning and unscrupulous, and rehashed the arguments for protection and in defence of his party with as much assurance as if he really believed in them. He was not above taking some petty advan tage when he could as is shown by his repeatedly throwing at Mr. Craig the fact that his brother had signed a petition against the remov al of a negro postmaster in Bertie county, as if Mr. Craig was respon sible for what his brother may have done without his knowledge. That was small, and would be small in a man making less pretentions to fair play and chivalry than Mr. Pritch ard does. Now that the debate has closed there is some question as to which gained by it. Our opinion is that neither has gained, and that the question of Pritchard's success or will be decided without being affected in any way by this joint canvass. It may have enabled Pritchard to have larger audiences to talk to than if he had appeared alone, but that doesn't matter for in the event the Republicans and "independent8".carry the legislature he would be his own successor any way, if he hadn't made a speech in the campaign. The Democratic party didn't lose anything in that joint canvass, for Mr. Craig acquitted himself too well for that, and it is shown by the fact that Mr. Pritchard so often lost his temper and his head when the demonstrations by the people showed the predominance of Demo cratic sentiment. If he were asked his honeat opinion now and gave it he would acknowledge that he does not feel anything like as confi dent of re-election as he did when he started out in the tilt with Mr. Craig.
