killed. A large number were injured,

connection with the unwilling OF the

Harrisburg passengers at Reading
went aboard the Philadelphia express,
but il being found all could not be ac-

extra train to Philadelphia TO run as

extra train left 20 minutes later than

Al Exeter station the express stopped
for orders and while standing there the
extra train, moving at great speed,

BRYANISM AND BUSINESS.
The Democratic Policy Is Always
Against the Best Interests of
the Country.

In an Austin dispatch 10 the St. Louis
Republic, a democratic newspaper, n
correct notion is unconsciously given
of the position of the democratic party
as TO business interests. The antitrust
bill which was passed by the Arkansas
legislature in spite OF the opposition of
business men is now before the Texas
legislature. Thus does the chase against
the octopus leap over state boundaries.
Here is the effect which the new
trust measure produces upon the Texas
business men:
This mornings train brought hundreds
or business men from every section OF the
state 10 make personal appeals TO the mem
bers OF the legislature not 20 pass the
bill. In addition, appeals from every sec
tion OF the state by mall and telegraph
continued 10 pour I'm upon the members
asking that the bill be killed. Fire in
surance men swarmed in 10 see that they
were eliminated from the provisions OF
the bill"
In Cisco some merchants publicly
stated that they were in favor OF tarring
and feathering any member OF the leg
islature who voted for the antitrust
law" So strong is the hostility of Texas
business men TO the bill.
While they were denouncing 1T and
preparing TO fight il the speaker of the
Texas house of representatives got this
telegram from the democrats in the
Arkansas house of representatives.:
''The house OF representatives OF the Ar
kansas legislature await with anxiety the
vote on your antitrust bill. IL tends 10
redeem democratic pledges. The hearts of
the masses go out TO you"

ness may suffer, but the democratic
