1t looks now as though the subsid-

prepared editorials are beginning to ap-

there is such an out-of-place look

There is one little matter worthy of
calling the attention of the people to,
and it is this: While nearly every
act of Congress has been in favor of
capital, tending to aid the concentra-
tion of wealth, the pretense has al
ways been to benefit the laboring
man. Now, why this pretcnse?
Evidently because the schemers are
wise enough to know that the labor
ing classes are the power of the ma
ton, and that if they should act in har-
mony it would be impossible to oppes
es them uccessfully. Labor has sure
ly been deceived often enough by the
plausible prctenses of these tricksters
to know better than to listn ,agalu to
the song of the siren. Is the past ex-
perience not sufficient to teach the
masses that their safety lies IN acting
for themselves and refusing to
make any kind of alliance with the
pretended friends who have uniformly
betrayed them? Labor has no friends
out of the ranks of the workers. The
time has come for the industrial mas
ses to make a square issue agains,

A REALITY OE ERRORS.

The railroad companies have for
years been robbing the farmer.
The federal troops were not called
out once to stop this robbery.
The combines have operated to de-
fraud the farmers out of the products
of their labor.
Uncle Sans army never took the
field to put down this riot against the
producers.
The coal combines each year con-
duct an organized raid on the con-
sumers of coal.
This coal outbreak still goes on,
not call has been made for soldiers
to crush out this coal robbery.
The combines rob the farmers of
their productions and then force up
prices and rob the consumers.
Grover Cleveland has never con-
demned this outrageous conduct,
much less call on the army to sup
press the outrages.
The national bank last year Gre
ated panic that caused more desti-
tuition, poverty and crime than pes
thence.
The national banks revolt has
never been put down by military
force, but they are still engaged in
robblng the masses.
John Sherman smuggled law
through congress in 1873 that robbed
the producers and laborers of this
country cf billions of money and fill
ed the land with beggars and tramps.
John Sherman is still at large en-

Ferces are at liberty, and never have
even been ordered to move on out of
this country or cease their robbery of
the national treasury.
The money power has been syste-
matically robbing the laboring and
producing classes OF the land for
years. The money gambler have
almost pauperized the nation.
These money lords are still doing
business at the same old stand and
the same kind of business. No fed

UNLIMITED COINAGE.

If every bar of silver lying in the
treasury vaults and every pound of
metal got out of the mines were mint
ed as soon as possible there would
not be an excess of money. We
would then haye less money per capi-
ta than France and less than the vast
commerce of the country requires.
Four-fifths of the human family use
silver money, and the United States
would command the trade of these
millions if the government would
adopt free coinage. Among the
many reasons why the United States
should insist upon free and unlimited
coinage of silver are the following:
1t is the greatest silver producing
country on the globe.
The United States has more domes'
tic and foreign commerce, taken to-
gether, than any other three nations
combined. Silver is the accepted In
strument Of human race.
The maintenance of silver by this
government gives our people an ad
vantage in the matter of the trade
and commerce with silver using coun

THE WHlSKEY AND SUGAR TRUSTS.
The Democratic Tauff Bill Ennches
them.

The Democratic Tariff Bill Ennches
them.
The consideration shown by the De-
for the Sugar Trust has been
familiar to the people; but the fact is
not so we'll understood that they have
done still more for the Whiskey
Trust. According to the best esti-
mates the profit likely to be realizted
by the Sugar Trust under the tariff
bill passed is about s50,O00,OO0, all
advantages considered. This is cert
ainly very liberal return for the
$5OO,OOO which it contributed to the
Democratic campaign fund, and it is
presumably we'll satisfied with the re-
suit of that investment. But at the
same time an outright gift of $4O,-
100000 is made to the Whiskey
Trust, with the assurance of $35, 5,OO0,-
900 more in the course of a few years.
That is to say, the bill provides that
the increase Of the whlskey tax from
80 cents to $1.1O per gallon shall take
effect at once; but this increase IS not
to be levied on the wiskey now in
bond. and such whiskey may accord
ingly be withdrawn on payment of the
80 cent tax, and sold with the additi-
onal 20 cent added to the price.
There are now about 200, ,OO0,O 900 gal
Ions OF whiskey in bond, and a pro-
fit of 20 cents per gallon thereon will
be $4O,OOO,O0O.
Furthermore, the bonded period IS
extended from three to eight years,
which provides an opportunity for
the trust to put 100000 gallons
of raw whiskcy IN the custody and
protection of the government, there
to gain in age and grow in value with
out any risk or expense. The in
crease of value for the five extra
years in bond may be put at 10 cents
gallon, or $10,OOO,0OO; and to this
Is to be added the saving of interest
for that time on the s11O, 100000 of
taxes, or about $25, ,OOO, 900 making in
all profit of at leaet $35, 100000 on
account of the extension of the bonded
period. 1t will be seen therefore
that the whiskey tax has been so adj
justed us to yield the trust aggreg-
ate gain CT $75,OOO,OOO, on a COM
paratively low estimate of the value
of the advantages thus conferred.
The price of whiskey has already
been advanced and it is safe to predict
that the trust will make the most of
its chances, No reason has been Civ.

CARNATIONS in the country. The
people are told that the whiskey tax
is to be increased for the purpose OF
raising more revenue, but they
are not told that the whlskey trust
will derive $75,OOO,O0O from it by
| reason of the conditions under which
it IS to be imposed. 1t is thus that
legislation is shaped by the Democar:
! ic party for the profit of favored in
terests, to the advantage of certain
trusts and monopolies and it is fo1
this reason among others that the
