THE ST. LOUIS MEETING.

Referring to the effect Of the late
antitrust dinner in ST. Louis in
uniting all sections and all factions
among Democrats, the Republic
says:
Democratic leaders are unques-
tiouably justified in their estimate
of the influence certain to be exer-
cised by the gathering of the party
at the St. Louis antitrust dinner
last Tuesday evening and the out
lining of the issues for 1900 which
was then made by the speakers of
the occasion.
The opening gun of the national
campaign of next year was uu-
doubtedly fired at that time, and
the significance of this early and
aggressive movement was not lost
upon the people. The national
Democracy has been fearless in
taking its position in the open. The
people will be equally fearless and
prompt in aligning themselves with
the Democratic party in solid for
nation against the party of special
privileges and caste-creating dis
examinations.
The intense earnestness charac-
terizing the St Louis meeting has
impressed the masses of the east as
well as of the west and south, and
has been noted by politicians with
more definite comprehension than
by the people themselves. 1t is
clearly seen that on the imperative
issue of d firm and united stand
against the trust evil the Democra-
cy of the entire country is compact
in its unanimity of sentiment. This
welding together of the people has
been compelled by the trusts them
selves, whose recent tremendous
growth and vast arrogance of i'm
munity from the law has caused d
full recognition of the danger con
fronting the country There vii
be no abatement of the antitrust
sentiment until the people shal
have been safe from the oppression
of monopiles and combines.
This safety will come through the
Democratic party, legitimately ar
aged in behalf of the people against
the trusts. The war now fairly be-
gun contains no menace to any le
climate business or industry. il
a warIupon thetrusts, which enslavt
and destroy legitimate business
and fair competition, and override
the natural laws of supply and de
maud. Victory in such war will
p mean the liberation of commerce
} and industry from the chains fas
tened upon them by the trusts
This victory will be won by the peo
r pie, led by the Democratic party
d and it will be a victory in which sec
= sectionalism will have no part.
