The business of the trusts and
monopolies is to rob the people. In
this they are aided by high tariff.
For that reason they contributed
millions for the SUCCESS of the Re
publican party. All the money spent
to elect Mckinley and a big profit
for the trusts and monopolies will be
stolen, yes stolen, from the masses.
1t has already begun. In a great
number of large business concerns
the wages of employees are being re-
duced ane not one cent reduction is
being made in the price of what
these large concerns have to sell.
They can and do compete with for
eign manufacturers in foreign mark
cts, but in the United States, where
they are protected, or in other words
aided by government to reach down
into the pockets of the masses, and
to unjustly take therefrom the peo-
pies hard earned money, they COM
bine and raise prices much higher
than they should be, thus the people
must in many instances suffer in
order that these robbers, aided by
the government, can add a few more
dollars to their wealth.

The trusts and monopolies are
keeping up their organizations and
will be in fine trim for the 1900
fight. The masses must also keep
up their organizations.

Nevada has placed herself on q
solitary pinnacle Of shame by enact
ing the law logalizing prize fighting,
thus making her soil the only spot in
the country, and practically on the
continent, where these disgusting ex-
Editions can legally be held. Even
Mexico, the land of the bull fight,
prohibits it. The reasons given for
this disgrnceful action are the desire
of the business men that people out
side the State may see the opportun-
tiles for investment there, and the
enrichment of the State treasury by
the $1,000 license fee which is to be
charged for these brutal contests
Nevada business men must have a
strangely perverted idea of what
makes a State attractive in the eyes
Of desirable investors. Gov. Culber-
son, of Texas, never did better
thing for his State than when he call
ed special session of the Lesisla-
ture to prevent prize fight within
it's borders. But to advertise the
poverty Of a State by allowing it to
scramble after a paltry bride OF
81, 900, and to proclaim its desirable
ity by making it the Mecca of the
buns, plug-uglies and tougbs of the
whole country, is the greatest exhi-
bition of business senseless ever
seer.
