AN INTERESIING LEIIER He Thnks the Republican Party is Badly Split and Says Democrats Have an Excellent Chance. Washington, October 2J.—Several yours ago. says Champ Clark, when • l ••o trusts first ln\i*an Conning un.ior iiit> favorable influence of a rob ber tariff, I proposed to put on Mu' tree list every article manu faoturd by a trust. Recently ; good deal lias been said on the subject, .and the Republican party is badly di vided against itself on the subject. New eon es Roosevelt advocating a constitutional amendment; says noth ingl else will do any good. If there be others who share that opinion, let them rend this press dispatch: Poena. 11l A stir something like that ealist'd by tli' 1 handwriting on the wall at Belshazzar's feast was created among (h K .‘publicans in attendance at the conven tion of the Republican State League of Clubs here by the appearance of an Inno cent pa la graph In the I’eorln Journal, tins afternoon Republican daily. it occupied the place of honor In the 'Vonv ntion ex tra." first column, In si page, .md was in troduced by a glaring enpi inn J! It b : "Chicago.—The combination of tin-great packing houses of the eountiy which has l>een under consideration oil in i r.>< . s of actual formation for the last Yix months has lu-on abandoned, at least for the present, says the Tribune The de cision not to contemplate tlie combination Is due, In a large degree, to the attitude of the national administration toward trusts ns outlined by I’resi-b ut Roosevelt hi his recent speeches and to the possi bility that in the event of a consolidation congress might remove the tariff on cat tle." Tims tlit* bool' puckers give us con firmation of our belief that a good strong free list will tdci.it 1 out the trusts. W hy. the mere fear of free trade in entile prevents the consumma tion of a gigantic trust! This should effectuall.v squelch sill of Teddy's talk about constitutional amendments in the dim and distant future. A Demo cratic congress is all that is needed a body of legislators who will cut the tariff off of glass, lumber, beef, every thing that Is a necessity of life and which Is controlled by a trust. He Dotes on ’Em. Congressman Caldorhend is not tear ing his clothes in his anxiety to find a remedy for the trusts in fact, he likes them. He wants more trusts. Another tiling lie takes a jab at organized la bor. There are few union men In his district. There are many more Repub licans who would loudly indorse his remarks on the subject but for the fact that many of their constituents belong to labor unions. Among the number is Senator I'latt of Connecticut, who emasculated the Chinese exclusion bill when it was in conference in order that it. might not prove effective against Chinese labor coming into tlie couni ry. Chinese cheap labor is the club that is to be? used to bring the labor unions to terms. Rut, going back to Congress man Calderliead, read what lie thinks of the trust's: Topeka, Kan. In a remarkable political speech W. A. CnlderlM*;id, Kc|tij|>lic;m con gress iimn from the FI fill Konst:- district, defended the trusts, which be hnr.ie.mr izc-il as "godsends t* the country," and denounced organized labor as "Die great est menace tlie country ever had." fils remarks have cruiser] much com ment, as Mr. Calderliead is a prominent member of Die committee on banks and banking In the lower house and has been regarded as conservative. lie said In part: "Why all this fuss about tlie trusts? Speaker Henderson has resigned because some Republicans Insist on tariff revision as a panacea for the Imaginary ills which the trusts are supposed to represent. Why seek to remedy that which bus been a blessing? I deny that trusts constitute an evil. I contend that they have been a godsend to the country. I have no sympathy or patience with this fuss about the trusts. I care not If it does emanate largely within rny party. I con sider It all political buncombe. Trusts are the handmaids of progress In every chan nel of business and every avenue of life?. They have reduced the cost of living. They have furnished employment for la bor. They have promoted science and en couraged invention. Instead of attempt ing to remedy or ‘suppress' or ‘control' or ‘disturb* that which we know is el blessing we should turn our attention .to that which is known to he an evil and take a hand at suppressing organized la bor. I regard organized labor as the greatest menace this country has today. Jt not only robs Its members of their lib erty. but is a constant menace to the lives and property of tlie whole people." "A Solid Republican Column.” It will be remembered by the renders of these letters that In my speech at Bangor, Me., before the Democratic state convention June 17 I declared that the Republicans are badly split up and that for making that truthful assertion the St Louis Globe-Democrat, Republican organ grinder, took me to task, denying my statement and de nouncing me as ‘‘a queer person,” what jsfiwir. iiMdk jysseUsd THE LEGISLATURE IS NOW DOWN TO WORK; YESTERDAY’S DOINGS that "uV* ncpUiTueaTT ctf tillin'ls smutr Subsequently 1 submitted certain hits of evidence which proved that l was right. Here Is another. The Washing ton Post. Independent, in an edotorial headed "implacable Hostility” says: The factional fight In tho Republican party, which broke out with great viru lence during the llrst session of the Fifty seventh oongtesß. Is still on. The organs of the minority that caused the defeat of the adinini.it ration’s Cuban policy—tho policy of McKJnley, of Roosevelt and of n majority of the Republicans In con gress-arc still tiring their "barb pointed arrows of malice" at the administration s friends in congress. Although the elec tion of a Republican majority In the next house Is by no means assured, the leading organ of that bitter faction prefers the election of Horace Boies to tho return of Speaker Henderson by the voters of the Third lowa district and regrets that there Is no Boles In the Eleventh Ohio district, "to take the measurements of another representative of the same breed as Hen derson-! he gulled and spavined hack, Orosvcnor."
