WANTS OF The PEOPLE.
An End Of Protection-Fostered Trusts
and MOnOpOlIee

An End Of Protection Fostered Trusts
and Monopolies.
If the republican party is to regain
the confidence Of the country in 1895
itmust have principles, and II 1t nomi-
mates a man who is Jest a candi-
date" its present hope is more than
likely to be turned to bitter disappoint-
ment.
The country Is not aroused against
the democratic party because it has
decreased SOM tariff duties. The re.
publican who deceives himself by
thinking SO will remain in the dark
hess of a past out Of which the half
performar ce Of the democratic party
has brought us. The great majorities
for the democratic party in 1890 and
1892 showed clearly that the people
have made up their minds that tariff
taxes should be reduced. and that raw
materials should be placed on the free
list. The people Of the United States
are not the predetermined children
that some republican politicians have
assumed them to be, and they are not
in the habit of rebelling against the
party which they have placed in power
because it keeps the promises on the
faith of which it succeeded. The
country is enraged against the demo-
cratic party because it has not fully
Carried out its pledges, because 1t has
been dominated by the same influences
that have for years controlled the re-
publican party, especially in the franz
Ing Of the Mckinley act, and because
Whatever there has been OF good in
tfntion, sound principle, and morality

What the people Of this country
want is an end Of the domination Of
trusts and monopolies that have OBJ.

less of the communism that employs

~Uupalatable Evidence for the aiami''
Howlers to Swallow
There is instruction in the record OF
failures for the last nine months as
compared with the corresponding
period in previous years
The whole number this year accord
ing to Bradstreet's record, was a,Sol,
with actual assets TO the mount OF
sS9. 07,0Sl and liabilities to the
amount of silO,674,S49. During the
corresponding period last year the
number was II, l+0, with assets OF
Ssa7,S SIS Sl aud liabilities OF SSsI,21o'-
lO9. 1t appears, therefore, that while
the number this year is still large, the
liabilities are not much more thah
one-third as great as they were last
year.
The decrease this year is not re-
markable, as the comparison is made
with the period last year when IN
cluded the panic months. A compari-
son with the same period OF lsei'
when the country was in the high tide
of prosperity under the Mckinley law
according to the republican oracles, is
more instructive. Then the number
of failures was $500, with S1l,sll, 800
assets and slSS, Sll, $40 liabilities. The
number was only sos greaterthis year,
while the liabilities were actually S2S,-
iS6,576 less, and the proportion of as
sets to liabilities was 5 per cent
greater.
This is a cold fact that the calamity
howlers will take good care to ignore
A comparison of this year with last
by quarters will be not less instructive
Following is a statement OF the num-
Der of failures and the amount OF La
bilities by quarters for the two years
1894 and 1898:
FAILURES. LIABILITIES.
1924. 1925, 1894 1898
list quarter. $500 3Gts s49,osS.0ss Ss4Stl4i
I'd quarter. .e.55q $40 S47O,2Sl 10, 4S5olS
Sd quarter. .s,72S 1901 2s,lls,5a5 lS6,4l4ss'
The comparison shows that both the
number of failures and the mount of
liabilities were greater during the first
quarter of this year, after the panic
than they were during the first quarter
of last year, before the panic. 1t also
shows that both failures and liabili-
ties for the second and third quarters
this veal were decidedly less than for
the corresponding quarters last year.
There was no panic during the first
quarter OF 1898, and yet the number OF
failures and the amount of liabilities
were both greater than during either
the second or the third quarter OF the
present year. In other words, there
have been less business disasters in
the same length of time since the list
Of April this year than there were dur.
ing the first quarter Of 1898, when, &C.
cording to the protection philosophers,
the country was still IN the mountain
top of prosperity, where it had been
placed by the Mckinley act,
The comparison shows that the panic
had nearly spent its force by the be.
