It is provided that all ex »« I shall be condemned and turned into the public treasury. If submitted ro the people, this amendment would re ceive a heavy vote. T he members of the State Senate rose to the politics of the occasion and passed both of Bailey’s bills for the benefit of workingmen, after having indefinitely postponed both of them. One prohibits the use of deception in securing laborers, and the other pro tects those who wish to |oin labor or ganizations in their right to do so. B ring recently asked the direct question if he was or would content to be a candidate for president in 1904, Grover Cleveland responded with characteristicclrcumlocation: “I can not possibly bring my mind to the be lief that a condition of sentiment exists that makes aey expression from me on the subject, of the least impor tance. As the .kerosene trust receives an nually several millions of dollars In freight rebates,and the other trusts en joy drawbacks proportionately large, the provision of Senator Elkins’ “anti trust” bill imposing a floe of 11,000 for giving or accepting such rebates is hardly likely to «care the rebate giv ers and takers out of more than seven years growth. A dmiral D ewey , president of the association which is planning for the erection of a memorial to Thomas Jefferson, as the author of the Dec Jaraticn of Independence, has issued a call to the general public for contribu tions for tbe purpose.

It is very strange that the memory of this American has not been honored long ago. T hebe will te no executive mansion for tbe governor of tbe state of Ore gon. The bouse decided that matter by a vote of 26 to 24 when tbe appro priation of *14,500 for tbe purchase of the E. N. Cooke residence at Salem was stricken from toe appropriation bill. This action was taken largely on tbe statement of Governor Cham berlain that he eou'd and would not occupy tbe residence. Oregon is prob &bly the only state in the Union which has no executive mansion. S enator K uykendall ' s novel bill which is a copy of a law in force io several states, has passed tbe legisla ture.

It takes a great amount of gall thesi days to assert that our numerous pro tected trusts are not continually anf habitually selliug their products cheap er to foreigners than to Americans, but the Republicans are undaunted by auy amount of evidence, eVen when 11 comes from protected Republican man nfacturers. Numerous protected manufacturer» were before the ways and means com mittee on Jan. 15 arguing in favor oi the Lovering bill to enable the manu facturers to obtain drawback duties without Identifying the imported raw material. The bill 1 b all right, for II would enable the manufacturers to sei! still cheaper to foreigners without it auy way injuring Americans. If Mr Lovering would introduce another bill to give the manufacturers free raw material to make goods cheap to us, w« would applaud still louder, but bl« party does not believe in giving us cheap goods. During this hearing Mr. W. K. Sea ver of the National Wire company said that steel billets and raw material cost about *10 less a ton abroad than at home. “Is there any one company or corpo ration that controls the price of raw materials in this country?” was asked by a member of the committee. “I should say yes,” replied Mr. Sea ver, “that being the United States Steel corporation.” “What has been their action toward raising or lowering prices?” Mr. Gros venor asked. “Their policy has been to retain th« prices at such a high level that the in dependent concerns have found it very difficult to live,” replied Mr. Seaver. In reply to a question he said, “1 know it to be a fact that in spite of th« enormous demand of this country cer tain companies are still holding on tc the export business at prices which 1 know are very much less than thos« obtained iu this country.” “I know that they have offered wire rods in Canada at a price which is sev eral dollars less than they offered th« same rods for domestic use,” said Mr. Seaver in reply to a question with ref erence to foreign selling by the United States Steel corporation. Mr. Swanson of Virginia asked, “When you sell your finished product do you sell it abroad at less than you sell it at home?” Mr. Seaver said, “Yes, sir; because we get the benefit of the drawback.” Mr. C. H. Cramp, the great ship builder. said that steel billets cost *27 a ton abroad and *45 here. Thus we see the very nature of Re publican tariff laws is to encourage manufacturers to sell cheaper for ex port than for domestic use. But not one-half the goods exported at lower prices than are charged here are goods on which drawback duties are ob tained. The trusts have no excuse for most of this high handed robbery, and in fact none is necessary so long as the people vote to protect the trusts by the highest tariff wail that mankind ever saw. Tr»ist legislation Is possible, but hardly probable, at this session of con gress. A compromise bill will pass th« house of representatives shorn of ail that will really curb the trusts. The bills prepared by Attoruey General Knox and introduced in the house of representatives by the chairman of the judiciary committee were found after consultation with the Republican man a gers of the senate to be too drastic to command a majority of the votes, and a compromise bill is the result which Is as harmless as a sucking dove. President Roosevelt, his attorney gen eral, the judiciary committees of con gress an<f the leaders of tbe Republican party have all had a hand in incubat ing this’ innocent bill. A prodigious «mount of work has been expended on it, for it is quite difficult to compose a bHI that will read like a trust buster and yet be a trust shelter. That the bill is to be harmless to tbe trusts was acknowledged by the personal organ if tbe administration, the Washington Star, on Jan. 16, when it said: “Two” Important facts appear today In the situation concerning possible antitrust legislation—first, the legisla tion proposed by the house will not be dsastic; second, that there is disposi tion on the part of the trust luterests to accept the legislation and permit it to go through tbe senate if it is not ot a drastic character. “Private information comes to the capitol today from trust sources that it may be possible to reach an agree ment which will permit the enactment •f mild legislation regulating tbe trusts and that if assurances can be given that the perfected bill will be of a character so conservative as to merely satisfy the president's demand foi ‘some kind of action’ no obstacles will be placed in the way of tbe bill in tbe senate.” These are extraordinary admissions for the Star to make—first, that tbe trusts will permit mild legislation; sec ond, that President Roosevelt will be satisfied with "some kind of action.” What do you think of that? The trustswill kindly permit congress to pass a law nominally against them selves! So here we have tbe flat footed asaertlou by the newspaper organ of the Republican administration that the trusts own congress and dictate any and all laws they think desirable or expedient. Democratic newspapers and orators have claimed this for some years, but it has always been indig nantly denied until at last the disgrace ful truth is admitted.
