An Important Decision.

That the Republicans arc as
much in earnest as the Democrats,
if not more so. in their disposition
to regulate by law the evil features
of the trusts, is shown by recent
decision of the Supreme Court Of
Illinois annnlling the deed of Il
Peoria glucose plant to the A mcri-
can Glucose Company, which is
a branch of the Sugar Trust. The
st. Louis Republic makes the fol-
loving editorial comment upon the
Supreme Courts decision:
The court makes plain in its
analysis of the case that the Sugar
Trust has violated the antitrust
law of Illinois in several particu
lars, chief of which are that it has
sought to stifle combination by
buying ont i number of factories
in the State, stipulating in the
agreement that the prices of the
product would be regulated by the
Sugar Trust and the amount of
output controlled by the same
agency, thus acting in direct vio-
lation of the statute and of public
policy. In ruling specifically
against the demurrer of the de-
fendant Trust. which set up that il
is New Jersey corporation and not
amenable to the laws of Illinois
regulating corporations, the Iii
nois Supreme Court established
clearly the right of Il State to con
troll not only local corporations,
but foreign ones operating within
its limits.
The decision is bound to have Il
far reaching effect and is calculat-
ed to strengthen the hopes and
hands Of the great body of con-
sumers, middlemen and indepen-
dent manufacturers who are inter
csted in preventing these unlaw-
ful combines from utterly destroy
ing competition and fastening mo-
nopoly upon all branches Of busi-
ness.

Writes of Prosperity.

One OF the Journals readers, Il resi-
dent of this county, but who has bus
mess interests in Illinois. writes to US
from NeOga. that State, as follows:
1T was at small town few miles
north of here, only last week. that
one bank alone paid out $4,000 on
the checks drawn by broOmcorn buy
erS. Think of it. three-quarters of a
million dollars for broomcorn alone,
The prices started here early in the
season at from so to $50 per ton for
tl:is crop, and kept up steady adj
vance, until it is now worth from 800
to SllO per ton. One farmer near here
had 30 tons of broOmcorn, and was
holding it for higher prices. When it
advanced to $40 he sold. few days
later the price was 800. He missed
just $500 by not holding on little
longer. Still he feels satisfied with
the result. The oat crop was fairly
good here and corn about the average.
The hay crop is quite heavy and of
good quality. Winter apples are extra
good, and are bringing satisfactory
prices. They are being bought by a
New York company and dried here
with evaporators. Live stock of all
kinds is bringing good prices. Taking
it all through Illinois farmers are
prosperous. and happy over the out
look for the future There is no room
for the calamity howlers here, and
they are few and far between"

DURING President Harrison adj

them down. After they got prices
down, it was discovered that some

the decline must be regulated by
making the coinage of silver free.

fifty per cent, they said, and prices
will 60 up corrcspondingly. How
ever the people were not satisfied
with such proposition. Mckin-
lev was then elected, the protective
tariff wall restored and prices have
gone up again. Still our friends
are not pleased and want to bring
the prices down again by killing
the trust octopus and then up
again by making fifty cents a dol
hr. The wind itself is no more
variable than the minds OF our
Democratic friends.

The Great Presidential Cam
paign of 1900.

The policies of the great political parties
are now being formed and the candidates
discussed. The voice Of the people as re-
corded by ballot at the approaching Presi-
DENTAL election will probably decide the
policy of the nation for the next decade.
Every citizen must study the great ques-
tions that are to come before the people.
This can only be done through the medium
of great newspaper. Now is the time
therefore. for every voter to subscribe for
the best and most reliable newspaper OBJ
tainable. The SemiWeekly Republic
covers the whole field of political news.
While it is Democratic, it publishes the
news in regard to all political parties with
out prejudice, Its telegraphic and cable
news service is superior to that of any
other paper. Its special features are the
best. In fact, it is the paper for that large
class OF readers who canno. afford or do
not have access to the daily papers.
Attention is also called to The Republic s

I TIE great activity in the manu
featuring industries of this countr,
and the consequent demand for la
Dor at greatly increased wages, ha:
induced the Democratic papers to
abandon their appeals to the labor
ing masses to support the Demo
cratic party. The Improvement
in our industrial world las been
wrought by other means than
through the medium Of free coin.
age, and the party of the SOC dol
lar has begun to see the fntility of
continuing its attack against the
party in power along that line any
longer. The laboring masses have
had their eyes opened, and the
Democratic party, therefore, finds
that it must attempt to dclude an
other class Of voters if it would en-
ter the campaign of 1900 with even
the slightest hope success. What
class! Why the farmer, of course.
The party organs now TEEN with
articles endcavoring to demonstrate
how the farmer is being robbed by
the trusts, for whose being the
Republican party is held RESPONSE
bic by these writer's. They hold
the farmer ignorant and as easy to
be deceived in the matter of fixing
the parentagc Of the trusts as they
believed he had been deceived with
that fallacious argument that the
price of silver regulated the price
of wheat. The American farmer,
however, is net so simple minded
but what he can guide his vote in
the light of events without the
Democratic leading string, and he
who takes him for fool is likely
to be fooled himself. 1t will take
more than Il partisan assertion to
convince him that trusts are here
for the sole purpose of robbing
him, or that they are robbing him
at all. There has not been such an
increase in the price Of manufac-
turcd articles the farmer uses to
justify the assertion that he is be-
ing robbed, and what slight ad-
vance has occurred in such articles
is due to the improvement in the
general industrial condition of the
country, in which the farming
class has shared as largely as any
other.

As long as the Democratic party
regards the gold standard and the
protective tariff as the cause of
trusts. as the outworks that must
be reduced before monopolies can
be reached. the fact is perfectly
clear that Democratic leaders can
do nothing against oppressive busi-
ness combinations and are not in
earnest in their noisy antagonism.
If blustcr against trusts will aid
the party they will rant to any ex-
tent, but they count the time lost
in helping the people unless the
party is helped. The Democratic
purpose thus far has been merely
to fix the odium of trusts upon the
Republican party and their origin
upon Republican principles, a
supremely ridiculous undertaking,
a QuiXotism that amuscs aud
pleascs the trusts, because they
know it can never limit their opera
tions in the slightest degree. But
trusts study addresses like that of
Mr.. Dawes with concern, realizing
that they mean business. Mr..
