' THE ' PRESIDENT ON
GUARDED BUT-aignifiqant. were. the preiidenLl
ntterancea yesterday in. apeecrtAtJamestown,
New York, in regard to the regulation of, truSts.
iRead between the lines of bis printed words, he serves
, notice not-only on the trusts that they must yield to
. regulation and investigation and must obey the laws, but
'klso on lheRepublican party that 1t must sincerely adopt
this policy of trust investigation and regulation or yield,
to a party that will do so. , ". v '
!A main feature of our policy, the president says, should
be to secure adequate aupervisory and regulative control
: 'over all corporations doing an interstate business. This
'is necessary because some very "wealthy corporations
-t-J'exhaust every, effort which can be suggested by the
ftifftiMt ability or secured by the roost lavish expenditure
uof money to defeat the purposes of the laws Not only
. 'the members of such corporations but the business world
' ? generally, he says, "ought to realize that such conduct
7 in every war perilous.' and constitutes a menace to
the nation generally." ' Combinations

; character, Tending- to, create great . artificial monopolies.

control these corporations. The
l sum s degree of administrative control of them. ,Th
''.'i president points out " some features of 'this policy, jays
,. that, the benefits enjoyed by tne trusts tinaer our jaws
" are "incalculable," and declares that "when, as is now
the; case,)- many 'of the - great corporations - constantly
strain the last resources of legal technicality to avoid
- obedience to a law for the reasonable regulation of their
I J business, the only way effectively to meet this attitude
on their ptrt. is to give the executive department' ot the
, government a more direct and therefore more efficient
1 supervision' and control of their management" ' Without
r government restraint "exceptional men use their ener-
; gies,'not in ways that are for the common good, but in
ways which tell against this common good; and so doing
.-.'.'.they not only wrong smaller and less able men whether
wageworkers or small produoers and traders but force
othermen of exceptional abilities themselves to do what
is wrong under penalty of fallirig behind in the keen
'. ' race for tuccesr. There is need of -legislation to strive
; .'-.to meet. such abuses." And the president concludes, by
;llsaying that 'jtmay'L.be necessary to meet these condi
itions by .'supervision and regulation by the national
i government of all great corporations doing an interstate
business." . j"-, t. ; -.':.
.This talk will not be pleasing to the trusts', out it 'will

OF THE SUGAR TRUST.
K THE government moves 'as slowly against thepther
trusts- as it is moving against the beei trust, now
manv generations' will pass before it breaks up the
trusts? And if the government eventually fails in its
prosecution of the beef trust, what hope is there of it
success in prosecuting other trusts,, like in character if
not ao evil in degree? ''v.; ' ' .''-'..
There, for "instance is the American Sugar Refining
company, commohTyHknown as the sugar trust, whjch,
according to a recent-Washington dispatch, r -which, how
ever,, conveyed no news,-is in absolute . coaaroj ot me
sugar market, in this country, and can say" at "any time
what sugar shall sell for per pound, wholesale or retail,
in every town ia the United States. Further, it is credited
with the power to fix the price ot raw sugar grown in
Cuba, and with having made many millions last year
by manipulating that market.,' This trust now owns or
controls practically-all the beet sugar factories in !the
United States! nd to controls absolute the price paid
their sugar beets.' And when we hear
clamor for protection for the beet sugar industry, for
the benefit of sugar beet growers, it is merely the voice
of the sugar trust, clamoring for more power to plunder
the people;-the heet sugar farmers willnbt get "a mill
on a dollar out, of the yield of protection if it be- granted.
alluded to said: "This great trust, with
the power to :say what 1 price a!ny man in the United
States shall pay for hja sugar, what he shall pay for his
coffee, what price the farmers-shall get for their beets,
what price the . southern cane growers shall get for their
cane, what price the Cuban growers shall get for their
raw sugar, at what rates money on call shall loan' in
New York; that is,, whether call money there shall be
so-high that owners of , stock cannot hold them, or
whether it shall be so low that everybody will be able
to buy, is aoon to feel the government probe."'
Another -news it enHnfortn- that in order 4oelevate
the price of sugar this trust, recently shut down a big
refinery in Brooklyn, throwing 3,200 pedple out of em
ployment. : Not that there was any tailing on m tne
demand for sugar; not that this refinery cpuld not have
been kept profitably; at work; but solely because the

Mr. Jerome has set a good example, and he is likely
to defeat any candidate Tammany may nominate against
him, and the Republican candidate also. He has faults,
and might in some particulars be criticised if all he

is an independent, courageous,' indomitable man, who as
district attorney in the metropolis of the country has
gained a national reputation and made a record that
r-donnds to his credir and honor." r .--r-
Such a man as William Travers Jerome cannot fail to
despise the petty wire-pulling ward politician, the manip
ulating machine, the dictatorial boss. He has no use
for them. ' He wilTpay ho. tribute to them,; He asks no
favors from them. He wanta to be district attorney
so. early.-. He thinks he has made a
good one, and believes the people think so, too." There
he is, a man of brains, of force, of energy, of indefatiga

any false, pretenses, without any suggestion ot saintn
ness; rough, ready, resolute; intrepid; a figure not flaw,
less, yet admirable. r . ' ' if1,-'-
Tammany may conclude that it will be politic to nomi

rather larger than tha email wolf of tha ,
