" AS TO THE TARIFF jjelnjt Uio "Mother of TruHts," as Detailed by 31 r. Hnvt-meyer ? Some \ I'a|so Ideas Corrected. Washington Post: The Mother of the Trusts," a quotation from Mr. Havejneyer, is the name bestowed upon a work of art presented to the public In the columns of the New York Journal. The work is a figure picture, consisting of a lugubrious-looking "Uncle Sam" leaning on the top board of his hog pen _ and mournfully looking at a sow and *~ pigs and two other swine. The sow is labeled "The Tariff," and she is giving m: nutriment to six pigs, branded respect- ^ Ively "Coal," "Sugar," "Standard Oil," pe "Iron," "Lumber," and "Wheat." The te other porcine figures bear no tags, hav- ru lug probably been introduced on the 1 pooh Bah theory of "merely corrobora- Dl live detail." *? While It Is undeniably true that some m of the trusts are sheltered'by protective ar tariff schedules, it Is undeniably false ^ that the tariff is "the mother of the In trusts." In free trade England these Hl' conhinutlons have lonpr existed and have Pl steadily grown in strength and magnl- 80 tude. They are. In many Instances, a perfectly natural step Id the process of cheapening cost of production. In some cli other cues they are simply the avenue dc of cscape from ruin by the effects'of ar cut-throat ' competition There are fo trusts, however, that are huge gambling th devices, capitalizing plants at many r1' times their value and working off the dc Inflation on credulous Investors. How nc much can be done by legislation and the ty courts to protect people against their bc' own reckless credulity remains to be vc gecn. Whether capitalization In excess t0 of value can be prohibited is at least *C| doubtful. But there Is no doubt at all that Congress can?and the best friends m of protection to home Industries de- 11 mand that It shall?reduce any portion pt of the tariff wall behind which an op- al passive combination has taken shelter. sl: Wherever a combination favored by the pc tariff has secured a practical monopoly st and oppressively raised prices, there Is where Congress can, and should, do 111 remedial work. m But It Is time to return, not to our mutton, but to our swine?the maternal swine and her alleged offsprings. The lirst of the six pigs which the Journal s0 presents as samples of the trusts of vc which the tariff Is mother Is coal. What re has the tariff to do with the coal com- 1 bine? There Is no trust or combine in 1 the bituminous coal business, and the tariff on that article Is not oppressive. It Is simply a protection to labor. But there Is a monopolistic, masterful com- ^ bination, which absolutelj' controls the ^ output, and, so far as It can, dictates prices of anthracite coal, on which there gt Is no duty. How could the Journal, un- ^ Inspired, have blundered so egreglously as to put that name on one of Its sample pigs? Sugar Is the next one of the animals, and we all know that the sugar trust Is ^ helped by the tariff. We all know, too, that it has been helped by both parties. Sl It got what It wanted In the WilsonGorman tariff. Tt rnt- tn #V>i> rMr?n?_ T ley tariff, for while the duty on refined sugarwas left where the Wilson-Gorman CI schedule put It, the tax on raw was raised from 40 per cent and 45.44 per w cent ad valorem to specific duties which sc Jn 1S98 came to 78.53 per cent ad valorem. c( So much for that pig:, the pet of both ' * parties when they need funds for campalgn purposes, but especially favored C1 under the Cleveland administration. Standard Oil Is the next pig represent- sl ed by the Journal as being nursed by "the mother of the trusts," the fat sow named "Tariff." Again we ask how the ai Journal,not being an inspired blunderer, ol could have made such a mistake? This ^ is the oldest and richest of all the trusts, It has ruthlessly crushed competition la and amassed hundreds oi million.-;. Hut L It has given the domestic consumer good ^ oil at small cost, and has been a large 3 factor in our export trade. Yet this tr trust, as the Journal must have known, hi has no relation to the tariff, because jj ? ? - ? "V "?l-? VOC1IC. J| Lumber and iron are on the dutiable lists, but it is not apparent that any ^ combination has a monopoly of either of *j these products. Should it appear, however, that either the lumber or the Iron di interest Is taking unfair advantage of h) protective duties, it will be the duty of Congress to let down the wall. Lastly, ni we get to wheat. And by this time we feel certain that we made a mistake in accepting the Journal's blundering as j,, uninspired. Where is the wheat trust? And what else but inspiration could w have prompted the Journal to perpe- |)( trate such blunders as those coal, Stan- h? dard Oil, and wheat plga fattening at the udder of a tariff sow? No wonder tc l:ncle Sam looks sad?he might well p look ashamed?-at nuch a sample of metropolitan Journalism. F th WOMAN'S UIGIITS. Huv. Talinage on Fcniulo Suffrage. Alleged Injustice. sc Rev. Dc Witt Talmage recently gave cc a fine discourse In Jefferson Park Pres- vi byterlan church, in Chicago, upon r' "Queen Vashti, or Woman's Rights." While the most ardent woman suffragist ei could agree with nearly all the thoughts ni presented by this eminent divine upon Ij,! the subject, nevertheless. Rov. Talmazo. .n like so many others, Ignores Justice and the fundamental principles upon which our government Is founded and upon whkh suffragists base their claims. IIo ?ays: "I believe tlint when the women of a* America want to vote they will vote, ,j( ami no man can stop them. Hut the gi grave question Is, do the majority of the tr women wish the ballot? The women with whom I have been associated do not and would not if they could go Into one of the vile dirty holes into which s-oine of tiie men have to go. The *0 women of America will decide what w they want, they will do, and the men m niu|l LIIC'IH. _j. While It Ih undoubtedly true, that If a f0 large majority of womnn would go to work earnestly and give their men no ^ f?-'Ht until granted the ballot, It would '(tl K'"jn be thelnr, but why this unprece- w dented left? Such demands ore undemocratic Ih every particular. In all the pages of history there Ih not record.m] an instance where a determinant majority of unrecognized perHons ever nuked for an extension of rlRhtB and privileged. The whole story of the | evolution of liberty Is a sequence of examples where the few have asked and the many received.

Originally only free-holders voted, id the poor man unanimously petition r the franchise? Did tho poor black an In the state ot New York, 184G, in ly determinate majority, petition for e franchise?

They would it be obliged to vote. It seems to me ranny of the worst form to say that, icause some women do not care to >te, therefore the women who do care vote shall not be allowed the privl?e. I am, however, not so certain that a njorlty of women do not want to vote. would seem that the proof of the iddlng would be the eating thereof. In 1 the Btates where women have full iffrage, they vote In as large a proirtlon as do the men, and In some lnances In greater numbers, yet a marity of these women did not ask for e suffrage. According to Rev. Talage's own argument, these women ould not vote unless they wished to i so. As to the vile, dirty holes into which me of the men have to go when they >te, I should consider this one of the neons why women should vote. If ere Is any one thing that will purify ese voting places. It Is the presence women; It Is not only a law of nare, but It has been the universal exrlenco wherever woman suffrage has en tried. Instances Innumerable could recited, where a complete renovation the polling places took place when amen went to vote. The men lnlnctively cleaned up when it was lown that the women were coming.

I Coming on top of the experience of the last few days In the steel stocks, today's events added largely to the dls- J favor held towards a large number of j Industrial stocks. The steel stocks, j themselves were pretty firm on account. of the official assurance that the money for the preferred dividend on Federal steel hnd been set aside before the declaration of the dividend on the com-1 mon, and also bcause of a prevalent belief that steel and wire Is soon to be I entered In the regular listed depart- | ment of the stock exchange, which I would necessitate a detailed statement j of finances and earnings.

CHICAGO?The spectre of the new crop loomed up before wheat traders m-uuj', unu w;uj ?i oig ractor in tne decline of %tfi>%c which marked the day's trading In that cereal. Continued heavy domestic receipts made its effect much more apparent. Corn and oats were rather heavy, hut closed only a shade lower. Provisions showed practically no change at the close. Any hope among wheat traders that yesterday's late steadiness was the beginning of a reaction was dissipated before the opening by reports, of much needed rains In the Don district of Russia, Improved crop prospects In (hat country and an early decline of }i<l In Liverpool cables. The effect of this news on speculators was partly nullified at llrst by rain in the northwest, whore too much moisture has already put the wheat fields In danger, nnd after about fifteen minutes of weakness, the market developed some strength in covering by shorts. Opening sales on September were made at 7G%(ft)7C-)ic, compared with yesterday's cloning price of 7GTf,c, and the liquidation that started at once carried the price down to TG^c. On this early break the southwest, where new wheat crops Is appearing In the market, was a heavy seller. Covering by shorts, who saw danger In the northwest rains, carried the September price back to 7G*;c, but before 11 o'clock the market again developed extreme weakness, and from that time until within a few minutes ?>f the close pelling was persistent and heavy. Northwest receipts were heavy, Minneapolis and Duluth reporting 71.'I cars, against 424 cars last week and r>7 cars 11 year ago. Ohlcak'o receipts were li!!> car?, six of which were' contract quality. The total receipts at primary I western points were l.OGO.OCO bushels, | against 1,12,000 bushels a year ago. 1 Atlantic port clearances 1 of wheat and llour amounted to 603.000 bushels. There was only a moderate cash demand here. Late HusM&n advices were not so favorable, but traders had apparently lost their interest in the foreign situation, and hud turned their attention to the domestic, crop. September had in the meantime declined to 75*??7o%c. but enough support materialized the last half hour to cause a reaction to 765|76H<\ and gave some appearance of steadiness to the market. The close was ut 7G?76%c. Corn sympathized with wheat to some extent, especially during the morning, but the narrowness of trading prevented any material decline. Receipts were liberal, 609 cars, and crop advices were favorable. Shorts covered to a moderate extent, nnd in the absence of selling pressure the market recovered nearly all the early docllne. September ranged from 34Vie to 24*ic, and closed a shade lower at 34V4@;34%<\ Oats were dull but fairly steady, July showing a slight advance at the close. Soptember felt In a degreo the weakness of wheat, but the good cash demand helped prices late In the day. Crop reports were favorable. Itecelptc were 1C6 curs. September ranged from 21 He to 21*;c, and closed a shade lower at 2l%@21%c. Provisions were almost at a standstill. There was a little selling by grain people, but no, pressure from packers.
