The New York Herald "rang the
bell'' in the following; The small deal
or is doomed. and we are governed by
a syndicate who squeeze tens of millions
out of our necessities If we want tea,
sugar, envelopes, milk, lead, copper or
what not, we must doft our hats to
these imperialists and beg them to
serve US at their own price. Look at it
how you will, trusts mean war against
the best interests of the community. If
we don't abolish them. they will abol-
ish Us. 1t may be long fight and
hard fight, out it is fight worth fight
ing. A monopolist is just as much an
enemy to orderly society as an anar-
chist. The latter blows US to smither-
Gems by a single explosion, the former
lays US under tribute and compels every
man, woman and child to his bank ac-
count. We are his slaves and have no
rights because he wants them all him
self. Down with trust combines and

After the WorFrnan's Bread.

After the Worlman's Bread.
From the Joliet Daily News.
The Z" judge of last week has q very
good illustration Ia fact one of the
best cartoons yet appearing. It repre-
sents a sturdy workman seated at
table on which is q loaf of bread. Then
up comes q swarm Of plug hat and silk
stocking aristoerats, each armed with a
knife, the knives being labeled ''coal
trust, ''ou trust" ''sugar trust''
''glass trust, - etc. adiufnitum. With
these knives they each cut of a slice
from the workman,s loaf, leaving him
eventually but a meager crust. A bet
ter illustration of the way in which the
general public is deliberately robbed
and indirectly, illegally taxed by the
combines could hardly be given. A
party that has the courage to grapple
with and make an honest endeav0r to
kill these buccaneers OF the nineteenth
century, will yet ride into power and
get to honor. Machines win have to
be ''busted" and states cracked, how
ever, TO bring such a party to the top.
The party exists and has existed tor
many years. Public opinion is fast
drifting toward these principles and
the day of the peoples deliverance is
not very far away.
