TRUSTS ASO THE MSXEB PAIL, The Boston Poet," in its issue for last Sunday, discourses at some length and with considerable favor on "The Man With the Dinner Pail." Our Boston contemporary submits thai those citlsens who were induced by the "full dinner pail" srgument to lend their aid to keep the Republican party In power In Washington are learning something from the course of events since the election. Although the pail may be full tip to the present time, our ran- temporary asserts that the man who carries it has to pay more to keep It in that plethoric condition. "The sudden activity of trusts in putting up prices Immediately after election" is noted as " significant and omin ous." The first of these offenders to come In for scarification at the hands or the Boston Post" ia "the great Pennsylvania coal trust," which, It says, did not wait lor election, but advanced prices, "regardless of the political situation." "The others," it say, "held off until the party cris is was past, now they are putting on the screws." The attention of the man with the pail is etlled t Ihe al leged fact "that the Ural in the Bald to levy tribute u ism him are those trusts fthich control necessaries of I . . I t . ...to -I ... . .

That commoility certainly 1 not a "favorite of the Republican Tariff " ; The Bton Post" also knows tb-t Congress has not, and, under the Constitution of the United Stitfo, ivii! 1 bot have, auyi'uiug io do with Ihe coal combine. It knows also that there Is not a Democrat in Congress who is not bound by fidel ity to his party's creed to oppose any and tveiy movement looking to na tional control of Slate corporations. The Chicago beef trust comes next on our contemporary's list of Tariff Protected sinners. "This" we are told, "is Ihe trust for whose benefit hides weie taken off the free list, where they bad been for a quarter of a century and a Tariff tax was laid upon the material of a great New England industry, and upon the foot wear of the man with the dinner pail, his wife and his children." , ' That duty is 50 cents a hide and it was ostensibly laid for the benefit of the cattle raisers. 'It may be that the members of the beet combine profit by it more than -do the men from whom they buy cattle, but it is so insignificant a levy Ibat It is no serious factor in the price of meat, nor does it greatly enhance the cost of footwear, 31111, if It Is really pro motive of injustice, it might f well be repeal d. The Boston "Post" waxes eloquent in its denunciation of the ?alt trust. It says, among other things, that "under Ihe Democratic regime salt was on Ihe free list, and for Ibis reas on a great variety of' tood priaincts were available to fill the dinner pail at reasonable prices. The Dlngley Tariff placed a duty on salt, and as soon as the salt trust finds this Tariff made permanent by the election of a Republican government, it puts up the price of this necessary of life to the top' notch that the 'Protection' wi! stand." i v 1 II the Protection accorded to the sail industry Is abused, the wrong ehonld.tie abolished. The Washing ton IVsl' is inimical to any and all abuses of Protection. But It is ab surd to speak of the price of salt as having any great effect npon the cost of a dinner, or even upon the ex pense of subsisting the average fami ly for a yewr. But the mobt rldicunus of our Bos- ion miitemuorsrv's complaints re lates to Standard Oil. It is ture that the price ol oil has been increased, and it is also true that the combine which. controls that business has made aud Is making immense pro fits. But the Boston "Post" knows very well last there is no duty on coal oil, and il is not ignorant of the f ict that Congress has no right to in terfere With the State charters under which that business Is conducted. Republicans attempted to pass an amendment to the U. S. Constitution that would authorise congress to con trol trusts, but the democrats defeat ed it--v i . There are combinations of more or less inonoyolistic character that are sheltered by the Tariff; but the Boston "Post" skillfully dodges them and delivers its hard'-t blows upon the anthracite owl and Stand ard Oil trusta. It would he an insult to our Brt in contemporary's intelli gence to assume or even to suspect that neither of these combines gets any help from the Tariff.. What, then, ia the object of such an appeal t,"th wan with the dinner pail?" Is II possible that our cont raporary presumes on his ignorance of the subjeftT-Washington "Post." "We believe it to be perfectly clear." "says the "Examiner," of San Francisco, "thst If the country has rejected .Mr. Bryan it has done so with rehirtance.".
