CONGRESS AND THE TRUST.

The Democrats have no quarrel With
the tariff that is not the quarrel of the
people.
1t may be noted that the Republican
press is not entirely silenced by the
money power and occasionally an ear
nest protest against the iniquities OF
this. the greatest robber act of modern
legislation, is raised by stanch Republi-
can newspapers. Harper's Weekly, III
discussing the tariff, says: ''The great
central fact in the history Of this meas
ure is the continued domination Of the
sugar trust over Congress. There Is
some pretense of dispute as to whether
the House or the Senate was victorious
in the final arrangement of the sugar
schedule. But it matters little winch
scheme for increasing the profts Oh
the sugar trust was adopted. The peo-
pie who speculate in sugar securities
have expressed their opinion OF TINS
legislation in Wall street. The common
stock of the trust was selling ut llo
when the work of making the bill was
begun. and after the conference report
was made the stock sold at 146.
If the Republican party had been
guilty of no other crime against the
people than the passage of the Dln&le!
tariff bill. that would be sufficient cause
to create IL protest so strong ana uni
versal as to produce the downfall OF
that organization: however. when the
tariff is simply one instance of greed
and rapacity selected from many cog
nate acts proposed. it is dlf1cuit 10
imagine how these banded robbers can
have the assurance to demand still
further suffrage from American citl-
Zens.
In order to show the absolute suDser-
yiency of Congress to the sugar trust,
it is only necessary to refer to the fact
that Secretary Gage proposed an inter-
nal revenue tax on the advance impor-
tatlons of sugar which would have
converted S6.000.000 into the treasury
of the United States, and would not
have cost the trust single cent. but.
on the contrary. would have left the
combine with at least S6.OOO,0O0 bonus
to it's credit. and Congress paid no at
tention to the suggestion. Let the peo-
pie reflect seriously on these indisputa-
bic facts and record their indignant
protests at the ballot box in 1898 and

DiurIeyism the Last Straw.

The Constitution is of the opinion
that the country is on the eve of the
greatest Democratic revival ever
known in the history of the republic.
All the signs and symptoms point to it.
The people have come to the end of
their patience. The tariff mOnstrOsity,
enacted for the benefit of the trusts, is
the last feather that will break the

Larg Fleet of Vessels Left England
in Ballast.
The Philadelphia Record says: The
largest fleet OF vessels that ever left En-
gland in ballast has sailed within the last
week for the Delaware Breakwater and
Hampton Roads for orders. Their own
ers have found it more profitable to send
them without cargoes than to have them
wait for one. The machinery of some Of
them are rather antiquated, but the de-
mand for steam tonnage has induced
their owners 10 give them another trial in
competing with the more modern craft.
Several vessels arrived at The Delaware
Breakwater recently from Europe in
search of business.
Large purchases of grain have been
made in this country ty Italy, Austria,

Growth of Bi,netaIIisr,


The Republican press has evidently
received instructions from The money
power to announce that free silver
sentiment is dead"
These instructions are followed ohc
diently by most of TIE goldite news
papers. but the New York Commercial
Advertiser refuses TO stultify itself.
I'VE had hoped that the sharp defeat
which the nation inflicted on the re%u-
lar Democracy last year." remarks the
Advertiser. might have some chastcn-
ing effect and deter the party leaders
from repeating the costly blunder of
indorsing the free silver and pro-socal-
ist planks of the Chicago platform. This
hope, however. has not been fulfilled.
The Democratic organizations in all the
States outside of New York. where con-
tests are pending. continue in the hands
of the free silverites''
1t is not Il matter of very great in-
portance TO the Democracy that Re
publican newspapers solace their read
erS with the false idea that the free sill
Yer sentiment is declining, but ii is
gratifying to know that there are some
newspapers in the ranks of the Oppos-
ton that have Independence enough
left to admit the fact that free silver
doctrine is growing.
The fact of the matter is that never
before in the history of the United
States since the demonstration of sill
yer began has the belief in bimetallism
been more widely held or more firmly
cherished than it is to-day. 1t is. per-
h;hps. just aS well that golditeS should
fatter themselves with false hope. but
it is also important that Democrats
should know and appreciate their own
strength.
Gold recommendation is losing ground
among the people. because the legisla-
ton of the Republican party is so pal
rably agains; the interests of the peo-
pie. When the campaign Of 1898 is
ended there will be many Republican
newspapers ready to confess that the
free silver sentiment is growing. and in
1900. with the election of 4 free silver
President. the confession will be forced
upon them all.
