AIABoRING Man.
The GAZETTE doesn't h6ve TO read Mr.
B,alne's Goshen speech TO leEra what "ths
uIcrowned king" OF the Republican par
~ az d tatooed mau OF the U lited States
thirks about trustr. In a speech deli7e-
cd sooa sf:er his return home from riding
in scotIard on the top OF Carne-
ge's coach AID with trunks
full Of goods manufactured by
ths 'psuper labor of England" which
passed tie custom house without
caLrge, Mr.. Blaine said "trusts were pri-
vate sffaiEs with which Mr.. Cleveland had
nothing to do" THE GAzKrTE knows
nothing CT the politics oftnose who profl.
By Radical legislation thst makes the
rich richer snd the poor pocrs-, and it
cares nothing, since such question is i'm
material. TIE prime and pressing need
is TO undo such legislation, aud thus
prevent men-whetAer Republicans or
Demonstration expressing the people.
Those people who have ssid the trusts
must 60 if we would preserve liberty and
eq7aiiz, the blessings Of free govern
ment, will observe these facts:
The "uucrowned king" Of the Repub-
licsn party has proclaimed these combin-
atoms OF tie few to Cypress the many
to be "privste sfsirs." Ga the other
hand, Democratic oncisls il Democratic
states ara proceeding to dissolve
these unboly combinations by an
appeal to the law against conspiracy.
Nowhere OF record is 1t that shy Rspubli-
can governor OF kby Republicsa state hiss
recommended the peDltentiary IS s penal
ty for those who form pools,as did Demo-
Cratic Governor Roes Of Democratic T. xas
and as have the Democratic ofl:ials OF
Democratic New York; and thetestiuouY
to this latter mentioned ac!ion of Deuc-
cratic i;ials comes from the R,publl-
can NsH York Tribune itself CT the oh
lust.

General Charles T. Tab, r to anEul the cha tsr
of the Havemey ers & cider Sugar R fnir s
mlany. In salt which has been begun In
the supreme court, snd IN which Roger A
Pryor represents the Attorl ey General, The pc
tt ioa ss:s forth that the company. to whose
corporate existence It Is sought to put an end,
las offended sgainst the provisions OF the act
nder which IL was crsa.ed, and that what 1t
hiss done aud omitted to do amounts TO 'ur-
render of its rights ana franchises.
In an Affidavit accomps nying the petition L J.
w&rc Il. Sentepne states on inform alton and
belief derived from the proceedings of the SEN.
ate Investigating Committee that this comp 2ny
Is q member of the sugar trust, which lie de
c. arei to be conspiracy and comb! alton to
arbitrarily control tie prize of sugar against
the Interests Of the people. He further AYERS
that the Company has participated 10 and con
santed to acts of the combib alton by which
several refneries hsve close ard large num-
bers OF worknen lave been thrown out of en-
p oyment ard reSu;ed to want. Leave YVES
granted By the l1dge to bring the suit.
The idea that pools aud trusts e-e put
tiig up monsy to help the party which Is
prosecuting them fof violation OF law Ia
IS prepos.eraus as is the assertion that
"trusts sre ve.y largely privste eflirs,
with which Mr.. Cleveland (Oemocrst)
has nothing to do"
TIE Attorney General Of Texas and
the Attorney. G suersi Of New YORK rep-e-
sent the Democratic idea Of pools and
trusts; md tie "uncrowned king"
speaks for the Republicans. Let the peo-
pie who opp-se trusts and pools choose
between them.
