farmer who has to mortgage his crop
TO live till it is harvested or picked.
1t Is not surprising, therefore, that
there are so many people willing and
anxious to do something which they
hope and believe will create a sufficient
home supply Of capital through the
coming OF money out Of material found
in our Rocky Mountains. This is the
basis and Teas IN of the agitation which
threatens to make trouble in political
quarters because of the different views
entertained by leading men If the
kings Of Europe were not SO anXions TO
fight, and men rot so determined on
having gold basis OF money, We might
be able TO keep more Of cur gold here.
But, unfortunately, we are IN a posi-
tlOn where we have to borrow and give
our securities and thus place ourselves
at the mercy Of our debtors. who drain
US OF gold al pleasure, and almost drive
us to silver or paper money. This
gives gold an enhanced value and Sil
yer a deprecated value, and drags the
whole business fabric of the United
States so many steps toward the dan
ger line. These evils will not be anne
iIOrated until there Is g clear popular
unders tanding Of the cluees and how
these causes reach into every pocket in
the land and into every saw mill, shop
and factory and onto every plantation

COWS are tethered in order to avoid a

closing his address. he said:
" Thanks to the spirit you so earn est

These are not acts Of caprice. They
are indications of that spirit Of cour-
ageous independence that is the great
est foe to corruption and political
selishness in high places. They are
an earnest of the fact that as new foes

AWAY WITH TRUSTS!

1t is strange that metropolitan pa
pers have not fOreseen the danger of
allowing trusts to prosper as they have
in this country. AT first they only
bled the farmers, but now they are
making the city people dance. We
predicted some time ego that this
would be the inevitable result. The
New York Herald Of January 31st
contained the following editorial which
entities it to a position among the "ca
lamity hOwlers:"
The fate that has btfallen the great
Whlskey Trust, whose iniQuitOus story
was untOlded III Yesterday 5 Herald is
matter for popular cOngratulaIiOn.
Nor will the tact that the Book Trust
has come to grief arouse any general
sJ m Oathy or regret.
Whenever a gigantic trust either
goes to pieces fTOm It's own greedy pro
pensiti-S or Is put down by force of
law the community IS the gamer by
being relieved of an intOlerabie abuse
Nothing has proved 50 bllghting to
business Industry and labor in this
country in recent years as this species
of trade combination. Nothing has so
prey ed Upln the people, especially the
more needy class of consumers. Moth
ng has so defied the law and popular
seGCimenU.
The trust is the worst form of busi-
ness greed and deepotism. It's aim Is
ITO xiii competition and establish a mo-
n0pyly. 1t strives to control prOduc-
tiun, labor and wages in order to limit
Il tf, bot md
prices in order to adIa nee them. All
Ih!s Is done 10 wiring tribute from the
masses t. swell the profits Of the trust
CAPITALISTS.
THAT tnis fragrant abuse is as unIaw-
full as 1T Is ruInOu3 Is not open TO Ques-
tICn A monopoly Is contrary to the
very spirit OF our institutions. Con
grez5 has expressly legislated against
trusts. St te legislatures have passed
laws against them Court after court
has declared them Illegal. The Grim
mai Code of New York declares that
IF two or more persons shall cOnspire
to commit any act injurious to trade
or commerce they shall be deemed
guilty OF a mis- iemeanOr. What can
be more injurious TO trade or commerce
what can be more Injurious to busl-
ness men and the great mass of the
people-th4n a trust conspiracy to keep
down wages and put up prices, to kill
competition and establish a monopoly
in the very necessaries of life.
Yet in spite of law and the courts,
popular sentiment and public consider
ations, we see gigantic truss Of every
