WILLIA.fi! H BERNARD. WILMINGTON, N. C. Suxdax MoBxrure, APBIL 5. SECRETARY SHAW OH THE TARIFF AHD TRUSTS. Since Secretary Shaw has been in the Cabinet he has done more stump speaking than any other member of it. He Beema to like it, too, and it muat be said of him that he has a shrewd and deceptive way of putting things which is well calculated to mislead the average person who can't tell just where the deception is. He has a way of statins: things of his own knowledge which cannot be dis proved because the statement is based on information on which he seems to have a pre-emption. In nearly every speech he makes he in corporates some such statement as an answer to those who contend for something to which he and the in terests for which he speaks are op posed. He doesn't want any tariff revi sion and he doesn't want 'the trusts curbed by reducing the monopoly which the Dlngley tariff gives them in the home, market. He so de clared in his speeches previous to and during the campaign last Fall and he so declares now. He and the inter ests he represents do not propose' to have theDingley tariff modified if they can prevent it, and they are be ginning thus early to check public sentiment which is turning in that direction and are trying to nullify the efforts of those Republicans who are advocating tariff revision, at least on articles and manufactures controlled by combinations which take advantage of the protection they have to extort high prices and large profits from American consum ers. They are trying to forestall that demand by telling the people that such tariff reduction would not be effective and that if it were it would be at a cost inestimably more than the American people pay the trusts; in other words a cost that would mean the destruction of these trusts and the paralyzing of the great in dustries which they keep in motion. The Kickapoo Club, of Peoria, 111., gave its annual banquet a few nights ago. Secretary Shaw was the principal speaker there. He devoted his speech mainly to the question of tariff revision, especial- lv as a means of breaking trust monopolies. He is thus quoted in part: "The Democratic demand for a re vision of the tariff as a remedy for monopolies is not a new invention nor a recent discovery. Billt, amend ments to bills, and resolutions em bodying this thought have been -offered without number, certainly by the score, by Democrats standing high and Democrats standing; low in the councils of that party. The remedy, however, is on a par with many others. The all-important question whether a given industry is controlled by a mo nopoly must needs be established be fore the proposed remedy can be ap plied. "The present prohibitory law against trusts has generally been found ade quate whenever the evidence attain able has been found sufficient to estab lish the. ultimate fact. Recent legis- - lation does not provide new remedies so much as new methods of discover ing: and establishing: facts and expedit ing judicial investigation. " The Sher man law contains quite drastic provi sions, applicable both to persons and corporations when once proven to have combined or to have conspired for the purpose of monopolizing a business or a trade privilege. "I would like to have our Demo cratic friends who are advocating: this remedy explain why they would re move protection temporarily or per manently from monopoly produced goods. Shall the -protection ba re moved, until the alleged monopoly goes into bankruptcy and then be re stored, or shall it be removed perma nently and our industries, one by one. turned ever to foreign com pell tors? And If the removal of protection is to be temporary, who is to say when it shall be restored t "If, In point of fact, the iron, the steel, the glass, the piper, or any other industry has been monopolized, as is claimed, and if the producers are now robbing , the American people by extortionate prices, and if no one dare build factories incom petion with these octopJ, will Ameri- .canr courage be extended by the re moval of the tariff so as to invite theie products from abroad! It seems to me, but I may be wrong, that American enterprise would be quite as likely to build a factory and' compete in the American market under protection, as under free trade. In point of fact, I happen to know independent steel plants, glass factories, and paper mills,' not simply projected but actually iu process of construction, bat I believe no one of them would be completed if it were known their products were to be placed on the free list. This is very Shaw-like, but it 1b not honest. ", You must first estab lish the fact, he says, that there is a monopoly before you can apply an anti-monopoly law to it. What better .proof , could be asked that a combine Is! a monopoly; than .when it absorbs or strangles other estab lishments f in the same line, either by buying them or by . underselling them and driving them out of busi ness, and then putting its own prices upon what it sells and buys because It has no competition in the buying or selling market? What better proof is needed that it -is a monopoly, when-it ships to foreign markets where it must meet competition and sells " at from ; twenty-five . to fifty per cent, less than it sells in the petition? 'Are not these facts .known to every : reader of the newspapers? And yet he talks about establishing the "fact that there are monopolies before ; they i can be proceeded . against. -j , & -.-"The: present prohibitory law against Trusts." he. says, tat gen erally been found adequate when ever the evidence attainable was found sufficient to establish the ul timate fact." What a big handful of dost that was to throw into the eyes of his Kickapoo friends. How many trusts were ever brougnt to taw under the present law, or how many were ever proceeded against before acting General Knox was forced by newspaper exposures and by the evidence furnished by news- papers to proceed against the Beef Trust, and then it.took him and his legal assistants about twelve months to secure an injunction to restrain the Trust from doing some things complained of. This is not the only Trust. We have the Steel Trust, the Glass Trust, the' Copper Trust, the Lead Trust, the Barbed Wire Trust, the Cracker Trust, the Sugar Trust and dozens of other trusts, trusts that control every article in common use, and yet he tells his Kickapoo au dience that the present laws are sufficient to hold them down and protect the people from extprtion. If they be, why not enforce them, and if they be not, why does he say they are? He knows better. The whole speech as it applies to the tariff and . Trusts is a piece of cunningly framed sophistry, in tended to misrepresent the position of those who demand tariff revision, to misrepresent the effect that such revision would have upon our indus tries and the prosperity of the coun try, holding out the idea that our industries and - prosperity are abso lutely dependent not simply upon a protective tariff, bnt on the amount of protection which the Dingley tariff gives. ROOSEVELT OH THE TRUSTS. At Milwaukee, where Mr. Roose velt spent Friday, he chose as the subject of his speech the. Trusts. This, like his speech in Chicago, the day before, on the Monroe Doc trine, was practically a defence of the1 course the administration has has pursued on the trust question. It was substantially a reiteration of much that he had said in previous speeches, about the only difference being the review of the steps taken to enforce the anti-trust laws, and the new legislation enacted by the last Congress, which he thinks suffi cient for the time being and about as far as that kind of legislation should be attempted for the present, at least, until it is seen how it works or whether any more may be necessary. It is a well known fact that the legislation which has been enacted did not go as far as he thought it should have gone, but he was pre vailed upon for party reasons, and for others, of a different kind in which he had a more personal in terest, to accept the compromise and declare, himself "satisfied." Now he says this is the best that could be done, all that ought to have been expected in the experi mental stage of proceedings, and that in his opinions it meets all the present requirements, which is sim ply another way of telling the Trusts that they need not be apprehensive of any further hostile legislation, as a result of any recommendations that he may make Henceforth he and the trusts will be friends while they keep within the prescribed limits as laid down by the Sherman law and the new legislation. He is thus endeavoring to placate the trustB, and make friends of them. . He took occasion to pay high tribute to the faithfulness, and de votion to duty shown by Attorney General Knox in prosecuting the Beef Trust cases, for his successful management in the Northwest rail road merger case, and for his action against the Salt Trust, which he cited as illustrations of the scope and effectiveness of the laws now on the statute books. As in previous speeches he de clared his opposition to tariff reduc tion on trust controlled articles ex ported, as not only totally useless, but as calculated to do more harm than good, another assurance to the trusts that they had nothing to f e ar on that line from him. .The whole drift of the speech was to persuade the trusts that they had nothing to fear from him or from the Republican party, a studied effort to placate them and allay the resentment his former aggressive attitude had aroused. One of the coolest performances we have read of lately is told in a Berlin dispatch, about a bank clerk who after a service of 27 years cool- y informed a meeting of the di rectors that he had stolen $70,000 of the bank's money, and gave as a reason that they had lied to him three years ago when they promised to make him a director, and he was after vengeance. He compromised with them, however, on their agree ing to pay nim 6,250 cash and an annuity of $900 - for life, whereupon he went into another room and lugged out the stolen "$76, 000, counted out his $6,250 and turned over the remainder. . Senator Hoar's son has - risen to deny the report that his father reads dime novels. Next thing in "order will be for some one ' to rise and deny that' he has a weakness for codfish balls. ' Btn th' The MndYon taw Always Bsigit . - WHAT DID HE KXAH1 . Milwaukee, Wisconsin, like many of our cities, 'and especially cities in the West, has a large number of citizens of, foreign birth, and of numerous nationalities,' a circum stance of which President Roosevelt took occasion, in response to the ad dress of weloome, to ingratiate him self with those elements.of the popu I lation. by making a speech on ances I try, in which he declared "woe will beset a country, if we draw lines of distinction between class and class, or creed and creed, or draw any other line save that which divides good citizenship from bad citizen ship." ; As a sentiment at first sight that may read all right, bnt what did he mean in the-concludlng declaration? Was he speaking from - a purely po litical or from some other point of view ? There was no special appli cation of these remarks to the local ity in which he was speaking for the different classes and creeds are not only recognized there politically but also socially, and hence that declara tion must have had its bearing more especially on the South, where a line is drawn on color. He virtually says there should be no such line, and that good citizen ship should be the only test of treatment and recognition, which logically means not only in matters appertaining to citizenship, but in social and other matters, in other words, that there is no room for a race line, and where it exists it should be wiped out. The negro who is good enough to hold office and to whom white people must look for the transaction of official busi ness, is good enough to associate with those white people -outside of his official walks, and to be recog nized by them as equals, which sim ply and logically means --social equality between whites and blacks, as there is in the West between dif ferent classes and creeds. If it didn't mean this it was totally irrele vant and out of place on that occa sion. SPIKM'S ri'JKPKNTINI- Lumberton Argus: Mr. Lewis Jenkins, aged 65, died lait Thursday evening at bis home near Asbpole. The death was unexpected, he having just come from the field where he had been to see about some work. Fayetteville Observer: .
