lection and Prohibition Are Small
Issues.

HUNTINGDON, November 2S.-Union
Thanksgiving services were held in
the First Reformed Church, and Rev.
B. +. G.. McGeo, of the Baptist
Church delivered an address to large
audience on the subject of TRUSTS
and Combinations"
He caused sensation by denoGncing
trusts as the most gigantic evils of
modern times. Protection and free
trade, he said, were no issue at all
compared with these. He declared
himself Mugwump, and alleged that
the Republican party fostered trusts
by their advocacy of protection, and
the Democratic party did the same in a
smaller way by advocating tariff for
revenue. He called upon citizens of
all parties to throw aside all such
small issues as free trade, protection,
and prohibition, and unite in crushing
out the powerful combines such as the
Standard Oil Company and other SINH
lar corporations.
