Admitted that there are Trusts in '. England, ai.yonc knows that they cannot charge the exhor bitant prices that our Trusts charge here under the shelter of the pro tective tariff. To illustrate: Suppose there was a steel trut in England, and suppose they concluded to put the prices of steel products up like our Trusts have done. Now. al though selling our own consumers stecT rails at SoO per ten, our steel trust is selling the same rails at 823 per ton in England. Tt is therefore a self-evident fact that an English steel trust could not sell its steel for rftore than 823 pcrton.clso it would be undei'ftold at every point by our manufacturers. So it is with every product, if a great English trust goes to corner the market and put prices up, here comes the American manu facturer and sa3s to the English people, 4,1 will sell you for less than that," and the would-bo speculator at the '"'li'intiP..' of. ,1 '"" ifi"d3 TuTXOTW ir Hon. 11.

" L u: 4L . , w 1st of December, 1900. Gov.Eusell of the $17,003.94 thu.s paid out, save $517.81, was paid out on employ ment made by or on account of liti gation started by Gov. Russell. The amount of $17,050.10 was paid in settlement of Gov." Russell's con tracts and legal contentions. For the year ending November 30th, 1900, Gov. Russell's adminis tration paid out, according to the Auditor's Report for that year, for legal services and expens, 89,159.33: for the ycar before, that ending No vember 30lh, 1899, ;Gov. Russell's administration paid out for legal services and expenses, 9,997.73; for the year before that, ending Novem ber 30th, 1S9S, Gov. Russell's ad ministration paid out for legal ser vices and expenses $5.200 71. Let us add these Russell expenses for le gal services, etc., together, and we find there was paid out on this ac count exclusively during the years 189.S, 1899, 1900 and 1901, the total sum of $13,41D.S7. Now does not this contrast with the $547 84 in curred and properly chargeable, and all that is chargeable to, Gov. Ay- cock's administration for the years? Senator Pritchard and his Repub lican followers make much todoovcr the action of the Democratic Legis lature authorizing tho governor to employ counsel to defend State elec tion officers indicted in the federal court. In tho first place we will ask Senator Pritchard if the federal attorneys do not invariably appear for and defend federal officers when indicted in cither federal or State courts? And does not the federal government pay all the costs incur red in such defense? m 1 ihis is true, ana. upon exam ma- ' M ion, we find that of the 8547.S4 paid out by and properly chargeable to Gov. Aycock's Democratic adminis- ration for legal sci vices and ex penses, $298.11, all told, were paid out by tho State on account of the defense of the State's officers indict ed in the federal ecu its, leaving $249.73 in full payment for legal ser vices and expenses for the first ycar of the Democratic administration, which Senator Pritchard and his convention pointed to with so much pride for the years 189S, 1S99, 1900 and 1901.
