Thirteen Stages of High Finance.
Life, which, with its jokes' and
quips, sometimes gets pretty close to
horse sense, has found thirteen divi-4
sions or stages of high finance. There
are, in its table, thirteen changes thru
which the great moneyed man goes" be
fore he finally comes to grief. First
comes Concentration, then Accumula
tion, then Organization and Combina
tion. These cover pretty wjell the
bringing together of a few little fac
tories or a few hundred miles of rail
road, or the preliminary stages in the
growth of an insurance or other finan
cial or fiduciary company. Prosperity
attends these first moves, and in comes
Inflation. Some means must no^y be
found for getti ng the water-logged
stock off the hands of the holders and
makers thereof, and so comes Syndica
tion. Speculation now comes in, as a
matter of course, for the men behind
the guns, who know how much money
the concern is making or losing, and
wh at the periodical reports will show,
naturally get in and out of the hold
ings from time to time, as advance in
formation comes to them.
After a while things do not go so
well. Peculation follows. Some high
financier makes a false report^or a
fake purchase or gale or transfer of
securities just before an annual Teport
is to appear, while the directors manip
ulate the loans to their personal ad
vanta ge or for the benefit of other com
panies they may be interested in. Some
one on the inside gets mad. The other
fellows are getti ng too much of the
swag. Jfow comes Perturbation. Then,
in proper order, and quickly enough to
level great names to he ground, come
Investigation, Abdication, Eestoration,
Incarceration, and the high financier
has met his Waterloo.
This is a seriocomic yet rather
hearty and sensible summary^ to mark
the parsing of extreme pessimism and

The Protected Trust.
The Winona Eepublican-Herald says:
"It is remarkable the flimsy arguments
used by the twin city press against
I the tariff when there are so many
sound reasons to be offered for revi-
sion," and then goes on to belabor
I a 1 for its editorial com
ment on the recent speech made by MT.
I Eainey in the house, showing how
American watches can be bought
I abroad, imported and sold at 15 to 25
I per cent less than watches of the same
description, from the same factories,
5 which have never be en abroad, can be
1 bought by the domestic purchaser.
ter reasons than the twin city papers
have been able to give for tariff revi
sion, why doesn't it trot them out?
The Herald thinks the selling' of Amer
ican watches abroad at 50 per cent of
the price charged the American con
sumer is all right because it enables he
American factory to dispose of its sur
plus and thus keep its employees at
work.
That argument has a familiar sound./
I is he one which is always used to
back up the extortions of a trust when
the tariff protects it from outside com
ptition. What about the sale of steel
rails by the United States Steel com
pany in Canada at 35 to 40 per cent less
than the price demanded of the rail
roads on the American sidef Are
there any conditions of life in Canada
so different from those ^n America that
would justify discrimination of that
kind? I it likely th at the trust would
sell its rails cheaper in Canada than in
the states if it were not obliged to do
,.so by competition?
The theory of the protective tariff
is that it will produce competition, and
in that way reduce the cost of the do
mestic article to a reasonable figure.
When the domestic production becomes
monopolized, competition is dead, and
one of the most important objects of
the protective tariff has been missed
entirely. The protective tariff exists
not alone for the benefit of the manu
facturer and his employees, but for the
benefit of the consumer as well. It is
the consumer who makes the sacrifice
in order to give the manufacturer his
advantage, but he does it on the theory
that in the long run by reason of in
creased market for his own products
and by competition between the do--
mest ic industries he will be able to
buy the domestic product at a reason
able price. The trouble is that the
protective principle and he trust prcn-

1 Send the Best Men.
The, republicans of Minnesota are
not entering he state campaign with
any feeling of overconfidence. They
know that the dislodgement of the
present administration is no holiday
task. To realize this fact means much,
and it accounts for a healthy spirit
that obtains in the
party to aYery'gen-
eral extent.
Personal feelings and ambitions are
not going to be allowed to stand in the
'way of success this year, .and up to
this time ni candidate has showed a
disposition to force himself on-the con
vention, whether he is wanted or not.
JThere have" been no, headquarters

'and the candidates W getti ng along
:Jike happy family! There will be
a contest for the .nomination, but The
a a ^believes it will be a friend
contest. N "candidate who has any
serious hopes of getting the nomination
can afford to get into any *peraonal or
factional fight for it.
The situation from a republican
standpoint is so favorable that it is
encouraging candidacies. N one has
been frightened off the track by the
apparition of a democratic victory.
There are seven men openly in the race
already, and in all probability nine or
ten names will be presented to the con
vention. That so many leading repub
licans^have faith in the Issue and are
willing to stake their political future
upon it is itself encoUragmg. I ttfelr1
numbers is safety. '"With only W or
three candidates, bitterness develops
easily, as it did two years ago, ancfc as
it is doing now in Iowa.
The ehances are that no one man. will
run away with the nomination. The
decision will rest with the convention
itself. I should be deliberate and dic
tated by wisdom, not passion ^or preju
dice. For that reason, the"best men the
party has should be selected, to, attend
the gathering at Duluth. Each county

AMUSEMENTS
Lyceum"The Eternal City."
One of the most artistically staged and
comprehensively interpreted plays ever
put on by a Minneapolis stock company
is "The Eternal City." Hall Caine's
celebrated story of Rome, produced by
the Ralph Stuart stock company at the
Lyceum this week.
In spite of the play's excessive length
there is not a dull moment thruout the
five acts, and the author's hold on the
heartstrings never loosens. There are
plots and counter plots' enough to create
even an Italian atmosphere and the main
love motif depicts all the exaggerated
phases of the grand passion of which the
members of the Latin race are the logi
cal exponents.
The Hon. David Rossi, portrayed vby
Ralph Stuart,.is the strong man around
whom -the action revolves. His Inter
pretation of the character in which the
demagog struggles with the lover* ,is
careful and artistic. With Miss Vaughn
he sustains the weight of the action, and
successfully holds the aroused,interest
of the audience- thru severalj-j 'trying
scenes.
Miss Evelyn Vaughn has more of an op
portunity than ever before in Minneap
olis to display her histrionic ability. As
Donna Ro ma Volonna she compels the
sympathy and wins the love of "her au
diences as completely as she does tfaaH: of
her associates the play. Her delightful
methods of repose are especially effect
ive in the scenes of her suffering, and ire
the lighter love passages -she is trresist
ible.

BUCKET SHOPS LOSE
IN CODRT OF APPEALS
April 17, ioofc
The opinion of the United States cir
cuit court of appeals, in the case of he
Chicago Board of Trade against the
Cella Commission company of St. Louis,
will have little effect upon the attitude
of the Minneapolis Chamber of Com
merce towards the bucket shops. The
court found that chambers of commerce
and boards of trade have property
rights in the quotations originating
with them, but this was really only in
line with the important decision of the
United States supreme court covering
the ground some wo years ago.
The Minneapolis Chamber of Com
merce has had difficulty in withholding
its quotations from persons not author
ized to receive them. The new deci
sion, while highly gratifying as again
emphasizing the ^legitimacy of the con
tracts under wfiich quotations are dis
seminated, and affording further recog
nition by the courts of the right of the
Chamber to govern their distribution, '.Morgan avenue N 2 p.m

reall.y helps little i 9 'the_ particular
cases at hand.} One difficulty is to
prove that the quotations come from
the proprietory source.
In the'case of the Chicago Board
against the Cella company, the decision
liiRt reversed, the defense resorted to
and won out on the old argument of
gambling as a plea for non-recognition
by the courts. The appellate court,
passing over this effort at diversion,
finds the main factsthat the defend
ants were using the quotations of the
Chicago board, in an unauthorized
manner, and makes clear the right of
the Chicago board to stop them.

STAPLES I S HOPEFUL
State Railway Commissioner Believes
Bate Bill Will Passed.
On return from the convention of the
National Association of Bailroad Com
missioners, C. Staples of the state
railway and warehouse commission
says that he believes a rate bill will
be passed at this session of congress.
"It will be a conservative bill,"' he
said, "and the principal provision will
be that giving the commission power to
determine when a rate is unreasonable
and fix a different rate. Discrimination,
which is, perhaps, the most odious fea
ture of the railroad rate-making at
present, will, perhaps, not be remedied
in the bill, and the long and short haul
clause will not be in it.
"However, it will be a foundation
upon which can be built further legis
lation in the future. If the people
understand the bill and find that it is
not what they wanted, the agitation
will continue and the additional pro
tection they desire will be ^secured in
he near future."

His Big Friend.
A crowd gathered on a wharf in S
Francisco had an opportunity tok see"*
dog rescue another dog from drowning,
and go about his work as intelligently
asjir he had be en the trained officer of
a humane society.
A small terrier dog fell frn the
stringer of the wharf into the bay.
swam around for some time in a circle,
and many plans were suggested for hie
rescue, but none of them proved prac
tical. The little creature eeemeJ
doomed to a watery grave, for he |ra
fast becoming exhausted. The female
portion of the audience was much ex
ercised, and ga ve many expressions of
pity.
Just at the moment that all hopes of
saving the terrier were given up, the
bark of dog in the crowd attracted
attention and there appeared upon the)
stringer, in front of the wharf, a large
Newfoundland.
say the little fellow in the water
and with a ow wail he ran to and fro
along the wharf for a moment or two,
and then, to the surprise of every one
present, he sprang into the water and
at once Bwam to the terrier.
seized him by the neck with hit
teeth, and after swimming about for
some time, sighted the new sea-wall ex
tension, about a hundred yards distant,
for which he headed.
Upon landing his burden on terra
firma, the Newfoundland gave two or
three* sharp barks, and semed to, be
proud of what he had done. It was
some time before the terrier was able
to gain strength to walk away.
One of the witnesses to the strange
sight patted 'the Newfoundland dog.
and said, "This dog is mine, and
wouldn't take $1,000 for him at this
moment."
