McKinley's Cabinet Selected by the
Trusts-Of the Trusts and For
the Trusts.

Peoples Press Bureau, St. Louis.
March l6.-Tom Watson, in the New
York World, reviews President Nc
K.nley's cabinet. He says; "It is dis
tinctly corporation cabinet. They
not only favor corporations and trusts
and combinations Of capital, but they
are part Of the system" He de-
nounces John Sherman as trust tool
and considers his selection as ''sig-
niticant and ominous fact Gage
stands for antagonism to the Green
backs and hostility to the increase Of
the currency by silver or otherwise"
bliss is redolent of the New York
Cham Der of Commerce, colored in his
views by local environments. He was
treasurer Of the campaign funds and
knows which corporations contributed
most" "Alger is a millionaire, as is
Gary; then comes Long, an attorney
for trusts and corporations. Then
McKenna, one of Leland Stanford's
confidential men, known as corpora
tion lawyer and a corporation Judge"
"Mckinley'S cabinet is there fore made
tiOn; those who claim that the laws
should be framed in their special in
terest; those who preach the gOS pei of
legal and political equality, but whose
practice tends to concentrate all
wealth, all privileges and all power in
to the hands OF few, thus revolution
izing our republic into an aristocracy,
based upon wealth alone"
"Presidcnt Mckinley, in his inaug-
ural address, admits that the country
Is suffering. the indus trial conditions
are unsatisfactory. aud that willing
la aborerS are idle and lose is thus en-
tailed upon useful ENTERPRISES. These
admissions are followed by d plea for
internati Jnal bimetalllsm and a
sounder currency system. He thus in
directly proclaims that not the thrift
but the finances must be ad uSted be-
fore prosperity comes to the industrial
classes Of this country. Along the
same line Cleveland said in vetoing
the immigration bill: with the ad-
vent Of settled and wholesome finan-
clal and economic governmental poll
cies and a consequent encouragement
to the activities OF capital, the misfor-
tune OF the unemployed labor should,
to i great extent at least, be remed-
led"
An extra sess on of Congress has
been called for March 18th, TO con-
slider the tariff bill now ready for that

clare they will block ali legisla tiOn
until something is done for silver.

John ID. Connelly, Consul to New
Zealand, commends in his report the
encouragement given the small
farmer class, by the government
loans These loans are made at four
per cent and enable the poorer farm
ers to settle on waste land suitable
for agriculture and grazing.
So much corruption has been un-
covered in Congress, thanks to the
PoDulsts, that the government is seri-
ously considering making its own
armor plate.
