ROOT OUT TRUSTS.
Unfair and oppressive trusts, so
called, are but weeds. In tlie garden of.
prosperity.
It Is easy to kill them If you kill the
flowers and the fruit also.
Regulation of trusts Is a necessary
part of our Industrial development.
Capital should, have its reward, and
the laborer should have higher wages
because his labor Is producing: more. .
. NfiW YORK, Oct. 30. Cooper Union
vras filled tonight with people who had
come to attend ' a Republican meetlns,
the principal speakers being Mayor Low,
Governor Odell and Secretary of "War
Root. Mr. Low eulogized Governor Odell
and his administration of state dffalrs.
Governor Odell followed in an address in
which ho cast aside as absurd the pre
diction that his majority would be a
small one. Secretary Root spoke after
the Governor had finished. He began by
, praising Governor Odell, declaring that
the people of the state owed the Governor
a djbt of gratitude for what he had done
in their interest, he having shown hlm
df a strong man and an honest one In
the Governor's chair, as he -has always
been In business and "politics. The Sec
retary said that the National issue of
this political campaign. In its most im
portant and oiolitical aspects, Is. whether
President Roosevelt shall be sustained in
bis administration of the National Gov
ernment. Discussing the work of Con
gress, Secretary Root said.
"The; one case of- urgent necessity for
action which failed of response was the
till for a just measure of reciprocity with
Cuba, and that was defeated by a com
bination between the Democrats in Con
gress and a small minority of the Repub
licans refusing to .go with the majority of
their party. There is good reason to be
lieve that the measure will succeed at the.
next session.
What Is the Call tor a. Change?
"What Is there which calls for a change?"
the Secretary asked. "Is the reason to be
found In a desire . for the curbing of
trusts? For an effective treatment of
labor troubles, or for a revision of the
tariff? Certainly not.
"Our Democratic friends talk as If some,
capitalists securing undue profits, and
some tariff provisions becoming outgrown
with changing conditions, and some stub
born contests between employers who
want to pay less and wage-earners who'
wish to "be paid more for labor, were new
and strange phenomena, threatening our
social and political system, and calling
for desperate and revolutionary remedies.
They are not new, nor strange, nor threat
ening. They are but reappearances, In
Fllghtly varied forms, of some of the dif
ficulties which have always accompanied
material prosperity since the beginning
of successful enterprise.
"Unfair and oppressive trusts, so called,
are weeds in the garden of prosperity. It
Is easy to kill them if you kill the flowers
and the fruit also, but If you would keep
the weeds down, and have the garden
grow, you must devote yourself; .not to
desperate and destructive remedies, but
to a patient, discriminating, and unceas
ing process, pulling out he weeds and
leaving the useful plants. So, in curbing
and regulating these combinations of cap
ital, which are injurious to the public,
v either because they monopolize the mar
ket, or the sources of supply, or the ave
nues of employment,- -or prevent compe
tition unfairly and oppressively, care
must "be taken not to stop great enter
prises, which Jiave legitimately reduced
the :cp'st of pf oductlonj not to take Amer
ica out of the' race of competition of the
world; not to close"the mills and mines;
not to throw millions of workmen out of
employment, and deprive the farmer of
Ms market for raw material of manu
facture. How the Evils Came About.
"The evils complained of are, an out
growth of the process of Industrial de
velopment of the age; their regulation is
also a necessary part of that process.
Our industrial history shows that the
steady course of the process has always
been, and is now, toward better and not
toward worse conditions that jthe diffu
sion of. wealth Is outstripping Its concen
tration; that the great body of the peo
ple in the United States are climbing up
above the hard conditions of poverty
which have been the rule In the world'3
life, Into general comfort and independ
ence to a degree not known before; that
our prosperity Is sound and wholesome
Und that courage and hope are justified
rather than despondency.
"The -wonderful scientific discoveries
and inventions of the last half century
have enormously and progresslonally In
creased the productive power of man
kind. There has been greater productive
power during the last century than, in
any thousand years before. This epor
mous addition to the productive power of
labor was due, first, to the brains that
made the discoveries and .inventions and
organized the great combinations of cap
ital necessary to utilize the new powers
and the new methods necessary for their
use, and. second, to the capital that built
the machines and the railroads and led in
the experiments and the renewal j)t ma
terial Superseded by new inventions, and
took the chances of loss to gain the re
wards of successful enterprise. Both the
brains and capital have come from every
part of this great country, and their In
terest in the enterprise to which both of
them have contributed is represented by
the stocks and bonds of the corporations
which own the mills and the mines and
the railroads. It is plain that, in the dis
tribution of this newly acquired wealth,
the brains that invest and that organize
should have their share; the"-capital that
constructs and maintains should be re
warded for its investment and its risk;
the laborer should have higher 'wages,
because his labor is producing more, and
the ccnsumer should have lower prices,
because the product which he purchases
is produced with greater ease and ajt less
cost.
liBber Will Not Lose Its Reward.
"Capital and brains always get the ad
vantage at' first,- but our industrial his
tory shows that .the laborer and the con
sumer, slowly, but .surely, wrest their
share fDf the .advantage from capital for
themselves. The organizers of the great
sugar trust made a great deal of money
for themselves, but we are getting sugar
now at less than it cost to make it be
fore the trust was formed. The organiz
ers jf the Standard Ojl Company have
made a great deal of money, but the poor
est American farmer 'is lighting his house
tonight, at trifling cost, more brilliantly
than palaces were lighted a century ago;
and these are the consumer's shares of
the wealth created by the brains and cap
ital of the sugar company and the Stand
ard Oil Company.
"While the returns of capital seem
great, because they are massed together,
and the returns of labor seem small, be
cnuse they are scattered, capital's propor
tionate share of the new wealth is con-,
-stantly decreasing, and labor's propor
tionate share of It Is constantly Increas
ing. Not only have the wages of labor
increased, but the cost of food and cloth
ing have decreased," said Mr. Root, fol
lowing at considerable length with statis
tics in support of his statement, and gum
ming up his review by saying that every
dollar of the wage-earner's pay would, In
1S02, buy more food and clothing than it
would SO years before.
Wealth Reins Generally Diffused.
"The result of the process," 3aid the
speaker, "Is a diffusion of wealth among
the people. The contemplation of
the few large fortunes must seem
of trifling importance. This steady
increase in the earnings of labor, as com
pared with the earnings of capital; this
wonderful diffusion of wealth among the
men who work with their hands, has been
accomplished in spite of the fact that we
have been continually adding to our pop
ulation by the Immigration of theKpoor
of other countries, without means, and
these continual additions at the bottom
of the scale of prosperity and earning
power have continually kept down the
averages of earnings and of popular
wealth.
"Let us not, in fixing our gaze upon
small evils, forget the greater good. The
automobnes are of little account. 'Who
owns the farm wagons?' Is the important
question. Let us keep our faith in Amer
ican Institutions, and deal with the evils
that are before us now and are to come
hereafter, along the lines of the same
beneficent system which has dealt suc
cessfully with every phase of the great
struggle for the distribution of wealth in
our past.
"The Republican party proposes to fol
low this course, to regulate and curb and
suppress the "bad trusts, rather than to
destroy the good and bad together, and
with them the prosperity which brings
such beneficent results to all our country."
HITS THE TARIFF.
(Continued from First Page.)
ments of the doctrine of high protection
have been constantly progressive? Is it
not tru-? that heedlessness of its expectant
beneficiaries, and their disregard for, the
welfare of the great mass of consumers,
is more and more Impudently exhibited?
And le it not true that to all other reasons
for a reform of our tariff laws there is
added the birth and growth of their cruel
and unmerciful progeny of trusts and
combinations which stand guard against
all attempts to seek relief in theeld of
lree competition?
"That the present tariff conditions have
assumed- 'a complexion which pot only
requires a check on their aggressiveness,
but actual amendment, is at last admitted
among those responsible for these- condi
tions. Such a concession was made when
a dozen or more. reciprocity treaties were,
submitted to the Senate, but the sincerity
ot' the concession, and the honest Inten
tion to surrender the least advantage as
long as it can be held, is emphatically
disproved by the fact that session, after
session of the Senate has passed without
taking the least action on these treaties.
"I need hardly 'refer to the prevalence
just at this time, among the supporters
of high protection, of declarations and
professions in favor of tariff readjust
ment. We hear it on every side. What
does it mean? It means that they see
the handwriting on the wall as they have
never seen it before. Does It mean that
they are sincerely willing to do something
lor the people as against old comrades
who have heretofore paid well for the
r.eglect of the people? How can we be
lieve this when we see still paraded up
and down before our sight the hoary
hcaded. bloated and malodorous old fraud
and pretense that the tariff should be
revised by its friends? What, have these
friends of the tariff dono that they should
again be trusted? They have quieted the
people's fears, and professed solicitude
for their welfare, and promised to lead
them to pleasant places, and now that
sbcals and rocks have been struck, they
seek by another promise to mend the
whole aifalr and retain, the confidence and
trust of those whom they have deluded.
"I have supposed that my fellow-cltl-zqns
are thoughtful on this . subject, and
that their thoughtfulness has led to de
sire an amendment of our tariff laws and
a rectification of the wrong and injustice
that follow in their train. I have attempt
ed to give reasons why this work should
not be entrusted to those who have so
fully demonstrated their Insincerity and
unfitness for the task."
HITCHCOCK'S MOVE.
t (Continued from First Page.)
Istered, that he will testify, declare, .depose or
certify truly, or that any written testimony,
.declaration, deposition or ' certificate by him
subscribed Is true, willfully, and contrary to
such oath, states and subscribes any material
matter which he docs not believe to be true, is
guilty or perjury, and shall be punished by a
fine of not more than $2000, and. by imprison
ment at hard Tabor, not more than five years,
and shall,, moreover, thereafter be incapable of
giving testimony In any court of the United
States until such time as the Judgment against
him lsf reversed.
This would seem to make it clear enough
to any one of sufficient Intelligence to un
derstand the nature of an oath that tak
ing timber land for the express purpose of
selling to so'me lumber corporation on an
understanding previously arrived at Is
illegal. But there is no doubt that this is
a practice lamentably common.
A fraud that Is less common is the tak
ing of timber land under the representa
tion that It is mineral or agricul
tural. If carried to full title, how
ever, these would work greater harm
to the entrymen than anybody else,
for Improvements are required "on both
that would represent to the ordinary per
son more than the prico of a timber claim.
But the evil of taking the land under the
wrong classification is that the entrymen
are permitted to skin the land of its tim
ber and then disappear long before the
time for final proof arrives. The laws
arid regulations are made to accommodate
the entryman In every reasonable way,
but the practice is such that their plain
Intent Is often violated.

office of papal delegate to the United ' States, with headquarters at Washington.
Tho date of his departure" from Ottawa has not yet been decided upon. No offi

in the CSth Congress. Some Republican
managers are claiming a' majority of 30.
The general belief in the rectitude, sin

pretty general feeling that the President
Is opposed to all those things that tho
Democratic party advocates. This Is

OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash
ington, Oct. 20. Senator Jones, of Arkan

Committee, returning from a week spent
In New York, said today:
"The best-posted men in New .York, men
who ought to .know, and I believe do
know, what they are talking about, told
me, without the slightest evidence of
doubt in their talk, that the Democrats
would carry New York. Victory Js In

Undoubtedly, Democrats are getting to

AMERICA'S INTERESTS FIRST.
Secretary Moody Spcnlcn on- Question
of Canadian Reciprocity. ,
crfELSEA, Mass., Oct SC. William H.
Moody, Secretary of the Navy, was the
principal speaker at a big rally of Re
publicans here tonight. He confined him
self to the subject of reciprocity with
Canada.
"In entering Into any system of reci
procity with any country," said he, "I
should always regard American interests
in the premises. I would not enter into
any reciprocity with Canada which im
npriled our fisheries, whose existence I
conceive to be of the highest order to the
public"
Mr. Moody referred at length to the
Elgin reciprocity treaty of lS5i, which
lasted until 1S66, and the result of which
he said was favorable to Canada, but
not deenjed favorable to this country by
the statesmen of the time.
"Our exports to Canada," said Mr.
Mocdy, "have increased by leaps and
bounds year after year. They have ln
creased, although there is a 33 1-3 per cent
difference in favor of Great Britain. In
spite of that preference, Mr. Charlton, a
member of the Canadian Parliament, says
that in 1901 Canada purchased ?2S,OO0,0CO
more of manufactured goods from us
than were purchased from Great Britain,
and $15,00tf,C00 more than were purchased
from all the rest of the world, Great Brit
ain included.
"The balance of trade Is constantly in
our favor, ,and it would seem as if we
had no reasonable ground of complaint."
Mr. Moody said that any treaty which
conferred mutual benefit would find him a
hearty supporter, but he must respect
fully decline to favor any treaty Intended
for the fostering of Canadian Interests
alone. If reciprocity js to be obtained at
all, he said, it must be through the action
of the Republican party.
DENOUNCES. THE TRUSTS.
Ex-Senator Vilas Makes His First
Speech of the Campaign.
MILWAUKEE, . Oct. 20. Ex-United
States Senator William E. Vilas made
his first speech in the present campaign
at the Pabst Theater, In this city, to
night, under, the auspices of the Demo
cratlcState Central Committee. The Sen
ator -was greeted by a largo audience.
Much of the Senator's speech was" devot
ed to a discussion of the trusts. Referring-
to tho United 'States Steel Corpora
tion! be said:
"This corporation Is the practical dic
tator of "the price which Americans must
pay for everything they buy within Its
line of manufacture. Its own manufac
ture.? constitute three-fourths of the pro
duction In its line. This ls,.,a monstriVjs
giant cf evil to stand towering under ,our
industrial skies. Yet it is probably no
greater in proportion than others in other
lines."
Senator Vilas, concluding his speech,
said:
"My fellow-citizens, there can be but
one peaceful and continual remedy for
the monstrous injustice, the great Na
tional slavers which "we-- noyv endure. The
people of this r land must unite and stand
together, ihoulder to shoulder, yrith clear
perception of their rights and untiring
fidelity lnkthe struggle to -win them."

ACTION IN LIBEL ON BELL
TAFT SE2E8 'TUA.TJlQOnjOV AMER
iCAW IS AVENGED;' "T
Manila Editor In Trouble for an
Article Declaring; Tliat General
Tried to Steal Money.
MANILA, Oct SO. Legal proceedings
have been instituted against the editor
and the proprietors of Libertas, a Span
ish newspaper published in Manila, on ac
count of the publication of an article at
tacking General J. Franklin Bell and his
plan of aiding tho people of the Prov
inces of Batangas and Laguna, Luzon and
of the Island of MIndora. This plan was
put into effect after the cessation of hos
tilities. It consisted of selling rice and
supplying the people with seeds and farm
ing Implements, and it resulted in profits
amounting to $27,000. General Bell has
recently been ordered home. The Presi
dentes of all towns in Batangas Prov
ince petitioned General Bell to take steps
to have his plan of aid continued after his
departure. General Bell thereupon con
sulted General Davis and the members
of the civil commission on tho matter and
decided to place the $27,000 in his pos
session in the hands of the commiiolon,
to be expended by them among- the peo
ple of the provinces and whence It was
collected. General Bell came to Manila as
the guest of Governor Taft, and drafted
an act covering the -continuation of his
plan. This act was accepted by the com
mission, and General Bell transferred the
$27,000 to the inaular treasury.
After this transfer of funds had been
made, Libertas put in an article charg
ing General Bell with an attempt to steal
this fund, and -take It with him to the
United States, but saying the commis
sion had forced him to surrender the
money. General Davis transmitted to
General Bell officially a copy of the Lib
ertan article. General Boll responded by
denying the charges. General Davis
thereupon transmitted the papers to Gov
ernor Taft, who, in his turn, remitted
them to the prosecuting attorney. This
official then instituted the proceedings
against the newspaper.
