M'KLNLEY AND COMBINES.

In his inaugural address Mr.. Nc
Kinley had few words to say about
com hinations of capital that would pnt
him In very i'll favor with the men who
contrib 1ted to his election, did they
imagine for a moment that he really
meant what he said. Mr.. Mckinley
is a well-intentioned man and honest
withal. but he has go. into the habit of
attrlbuting to his party certain graces
that they do not possess. One OF these
is antagonism for combines OF capital.
A glance of the list of men who con-
tributed of their substance to further
the election of Mr.. Mckinley will dis
close that it contains the names OF some
of the biggest monopolists of this age
and generation. 1t was Trust money
that did the deed of Nov. A. Tie men
who yielded up their gold to put the
Republican candidate in the White
House are not the men who want to
see their interests antagoniZed.
The statement that the history of the
party has been one of hostility to COM
binations of capital is not true one,
to put it mildly. But it was well to
make it at that particular moment. So
long as dust can be thrown in the eyes
of voters, 80 long does the party think
itself safe. But will it relax its fond
ness for monopolistic capital in order
to get on the good side of the voters!
Not much.
Just so long as the public can be
cajoled into thinking that pot of gold
hangs from the tip of the rainbow, just
80 long can rainbow stock be disposed
of at fancy prices. But when the dupes
wake up to their folly they will invest
no longer. The people have oft and
anon been swindled into voting for the
Republican party on the ground that il
stood for the people (thus directly
stealing the trade mark Of the Dem
ocracy), but folly is bound sooner or
later to lose its servitors. The no-trust
cry will not go down with the Ameri.
can voters much longer. What has
the Republican party ever done to show
its hostility to combines? Where are
the records? Let us have something
more than empty-sounding phrases.
Let us call the attention of the party to
the trusts of Rubber, Coffee, Sugar,
Coal, etc. There are your ninepins,
Mr.. Mckinley. Let us see how many
of them you will bowl over between
this date and Marh 4, 1901. Surely, a
party devoted to the destruction OF
combines ought TO bag something ont
of this tempting covey.

COAL AND THE BARONS.

Pswtucket people who have been
buying Goa in small quantities at the
rate OF 25 cents per bushel will be
pleased to know how the moneyed in
dividusls who fix the price manage to
settle tho matter with their conscience
or what remains of that important
faction.
Ii appears from their own statements
that the Trust year ago conceived
that it wanted a paltry sac, ,OOO, 900 in
addition to its usual income. This
money, We believe, was 20 pay for
painting few back fences, or cutting
the grass upon the millionaire's lawns.

They elapped OIL per ton extra on the
price and turned out 10000. 900 tons,
As the people can't burn water, or air,
or other commodities not controlled by
the Trust, they were obliged TO pay the
price. The Trust pocketed the money
and snapped it's fingers.
The magnates openly state that they
put up the price whenever they sec fit

Words OF Encouragement.

Following is an extract from a re-
cent editorial in the San Francisco
Chronicle:
And now let it be said that Nevada
is no longer IN any danger Of passing
back to a territorial condition. Her
resources are vaet, and Of her future
there can be no doubt. Her miner
al feel la are almost, hmitlcss in extent
and her agricultural md grazing lands
are measured by the millions Of az res.
She is comparatively free from debt.
and her exposes Of government have
been reduced to accord with her di-
miBished revenues. Her school fund,
with millions Of acres of land yet in
reserve TO swell it. Is probably larger
in proportion to the number of her
people than any other in the Uuion,
and her schools. churches and public
charities are sustained with a liberal
icy characteristic of a people who
have not learned che value OF a
nickel.
1t is a mistake to imagine that the
hopes Of the state are ~sepulchered in
the exhausted levels Of the Com
stock. There is mineral wealth in
every mountain Of Nevada, and a
market for the products Of the farm
is all that ID required to fill the val.
Ieys Of the state with rearers and
clotiie the neglected plains in green.
Not far in the future Nevada may be
depended on to astonish the world
with the extent and variety IT her ag-
ricultural as well as mineral prod
ucts. Meantime her stout hearted
people will find no difficulty in keep
ing her sovereign head aud shoulders
above water. -.
