story printed in a New York paper this
morning purporting To- relate how the
Senate and the members Of the Finance

COMPROMISE TARIFF BILL.

Trusts.

NEW YORK. May 1.-THE Press this
morning prints a full-page article, under
Washington date. which 1t claims Is
full history OF the compromise tariff
bill introduced IN the Senate last Monday
and a full and true account of the Demo-
cratic surrender to the great trusts.
The article states that the Sugar Trust
not only paid $4,000 for the legislation 1t
wants, but also guaranteed United states
senator's who speculate a rise 90 80 points
in Wall street on Suear-Trust stock:
alleges that midnight conferences were

AMERICAN PLUTOCRACY.

Within tho last thirty years the United
States has become land of millionaires
through the fundamentally OF false
system of tariff legislation. The Repnb-
lican party has been in control since the
war, except for few years, and to it's
mischievous policy is due the fact that
this country today with all it's natural
resources is a land OF tramps as well as
mtllionaires. The tariff barons have
smassed wealth dishonesty at the ex-
pense of the great bulk Of the people, and
the Republican party is responsible for
this state Of things. Under the pretense
that high tariff produced high wages the
Republican party succeeded in hoodwink-
ing the laboring people, until finally
they got their eyes opened and hurled it
ignominiously from power. The cost OF
living was so high during Republican
times by means of tariff duties that the
working classes were unable to save
much from their earnings, and when
thrown out OF emplo yment by the closing
Of factories they soon became paupers,
for they had spent all they earned in pay
ing high prices for the neceesaries Of life.

there are in this country many preachers

one. and yet they exhort It's members to
vote in solid body for whatever party
shall endorse it's views. The Republi-
can party has thus far been it's fayorite,
and it is likely to continue so, for the
Democratic party is the foeof bigots and
will never sanction such principles as
those set forth by the A. P. A. There is
nothing American about this proscriptive
organization except the name. It is far
worse than it's predecessor, the Know
Nothing party Of forty years ago, and is
more foreign in its composition. It lie
composed almost exclusively of foreign
ers who masquerade in the guise of pa
triotism, which DR.. johnson aptly called
''the last refuge Of scoundrels." Their
own declaration of principles is enough
to condemn them.

RICHARD CROKER, the Tammany chief.
tan. will soon retire from active political
work. The New York World recently
gave biography of him, which states
that he is the son of Maj. Croker, inspect.
or general of the British army, and that
he was born in Roecarberry, County OF
Kerry, fifty years ago. He has held sew
eral lucrative positions in New York and
is considered wealthy man. On the
death of John Kelly he became chief OF
the Tammany organization, in which he
has held supreme power since 1886. He
supported Senator Hill for the presi.
Dental nomination in 1892, and it ie
through his influence that Edward
Murphy of Albany was sent to the United
States senate.
