The Trust Octopus.

transforming goes steadily on. 1t stops
not for season of plenty or adversely. One
combination after another is consummated and
the under mar squeals every time. The latest
is the steal rod, wire and nail trust and J. Pier
pont Morgan, prince of the ust-inakers, is the
head. Morgan will have power far beyond any
thing the Rothschlds ever thought of, if he is
spared to live few more years; and every
turn he makes is at the direct detriment of the
public. The voters of the country had only
begun to appreciate the trust danger when six
and a half million of them last November cast
.heir ballots for man pledged to throttle the
octopus. But in the next election this issue
will far transcend anything else in Importance.
Silver nor tariff can touch it. The very life
blood of the people is being drawn by these
combinations. The larger cities are being fed
by the sacrifice of the smaller. The railroads
foster the tendency. 1t comes to be question
whether or not the government some day will
not be faced with the problem of absorption of
the railrofd and telegraph systems as we'll as
the great industrial enterprises. That's why
the government talks about building an armour
plate plant. 1t, itself, is coping with combi-
nation. We are going toward Socialism so fast
that it makes lover of individbalism sick at
heart Knoxville Sentinel.

2. Shall we treat both gold and silver as
money, on the assumption that parity can be
maintained between them by government ac-
ton?-this is bimetallsm; or shall we treat
only gold as money, and silver as mere subsid-
ialy coinage for use il small transactions and

monometallism or the gold standard.
These are questions which cannot be settled
by compromise; they cannot be adjusted by
coalition; they must be definitely determined
by the Nation through its congressional repre-
sentatives; and the financial system of the
country must be worked out consistently with
that determination and based upon it. Nor
ought the Nation to take step in either direc
tion without seeing what will be the next step
involved, and without being ready to go on i'll
that course upon which it enters. Internation-
al bimetallism having for the present failed,
the Nation is left to decide for itself these two
questions, and the financial problem will not
cease to be problem until these two questions
are definitely decided. Secretary Cages plan
commits the Nation to~gold monometallisul,
and to the doctrine that banks, not the govern
ment, should issue the paper currency.-The

HE BREAKS THE RECORD.

AS record-breaker in pardoning bank
wreckers, President Mckinley takes the cake.
Through his pardoning power, he has, during
the past ten months, opened the penitentiary
doors, and turned loose upon the public the fol-
lowing list of bank officials and all-around
swindlers of the people:
William B. Burr, of Missouri.
Edward R. Carter, of New York.
Francis A. Coffin, of Indiana.
Alonzo B. Craniord of Missouri.
Frederick f. Edgar, of New York.
Charles r. Fleischmann, of Illinois.

Henry H. Kennedy, Of Pennsylvania
Frederick l.. Kent, of Missouri.

New YORK is simply the index of the coun
try's condition. Just now its money market
indicates clearly that thery is more money in
the country than the cour try can prohtably use
Yet in politics there is the continued cry of a
scarcity of money and continued demand for
some sort of imitation.
The facts fatty contradict the political
tention-New York World.
The above is the closing of half-column ed
itorial in the New York World, in which the
position is taken that hundreds of millions Of
dollars of idle money now in Wall street is an
evidence of general prosperity In our opinion
nothing could be further from the truth In-
stead of being an indication of prosperity, it is
conclusive proof that, under present conditions,
there is lack of business opportunity throu 1h-
out the country to use this money at profit.
Were it otherwise, these millions would be out
hustling among the people, instead of being
locked up in New York banks. What good
does 1t do the people to have immense sums of
money piled up in vaults, when they can't get
any part Of it, except through mortgage on
their homes? What the masses want is an op-
portunity to EARN money-not to borrow it.
Hoarded millions in Wall street, and general
reduction of wages Of employees in most of the
factories in New England, surely does not indi
cate prosperity for the common people.

Preacher Scores Mckinley.

Rev. VIM. KcNchol, pastor of Grace M. E.
church of Bridgeport, Conn, gave Mckinley a
resounding slap, few days ago, in sermon.
He calls Mckinley "his sickness" and pays
his respects to the president as follows:
"The present occupant of the White House,
by holding saloon property and serving alcoholic
liquors at his table in .scorn of his church and
contempt of the public school, has done more
to stultify conscience in the great reform than
any one man has ever done or been capable of
doing, for he took office as Christian at time
when public sentiment would have sustained
him and applauded him in keeping his own ta-
bic clean.
eff it be true that no drunkard shall enter
the kingdom of heaven, rhere will be hard
lines for his sickness in the Judgment"
Private ownership of land is undoubtedly the
great curse of our civilization. 1t is the pri-
mary canse of all poverty, cruelty, misery,
degradation and whole catalogue of injus-
tices. 1t is blockade to all true progress.
In its baleful presence legislation 'to settle the
people on the sol'' is only farce. Sooner or
later the capacious-mawed monopolist will
swallow up the settlers, as we'll as their land,
and all the products thereof. When Booth
came skirmshing around in search of coloniz-
alton for the paupers of England, shut
out from their rightful inheritance in the land
of their birth, he perhaps had an idea he was
doing good, although he was not slow to accept
brbes in the shape of donations from the veal
thy British plutocrats anxious to be lid of the
Submerged tenth" When M'Intyre inaugur-
ated his dastardly village-settement swindle he
must have known he was doing wrong, unless
he is a champion thickhead and even Long
more, who honestly hustled about years ago, in
the free selection boom, with stringent regula-
tions, did no permanent good. Best is now ca

THE principle that state or city has
right to carry any kind of business it pleases,
is one that is pretty we'll settled, notwt hstand-
ing the frequent and stenuous efforts monopolies
and capitalists have made to overthrow it.
When Toledo wanted to own her natural gas
plant, the Standard Oil Company which was
already supplying the people there with gas,
made determined fight to prevent it and failed.
And now, the supreme court of the United
States has just decided case from Austin,
Texas, where corporation sought to restrain
the city from putting in its owr water works,
affirming the right of the city to carry on its
own business. Their. is nothing in our organic
law, favorably as it Is interpreted for the capt-
alist whenever it can be, to hinder the public
ownership of public utilities, or any of the
means of production and distribution. If So
ciaism could come by voting for it, we might
have it as soon we would pass the necessary
laws.-Star and Kansan.

The LATEST People on Earth.

The LATEST and dirtiest people in the
world have recently been discovered in
the Caucasus. They live in an inaocess-
ible mountain range between the Black
sea and the Caspian sea, and as they

the houses are inconceivably filthy.
They are filled with rags, vermin and
dirt of every description. They possess
no fireplace or chimney. All the cook
ing, in fact, is done over hole scooped
out in the middle of the floor. In these
houses men and women and children
are huddled together. During the long
winter months they are shut in for
days at time, the cattle often sharing
their quarters. Every aperture has to
be closed on account of the cold. This
long Imprisonment is perhaps the cause
of the degradation of the people. Horri.
bile diseases result from it, which are
aggravated by an abnormal oonsump-
ton of arrack, the strong distilled drink
