Defends the Trusts

hF ARK HANNA is soaring the re-
VI publican leaders by his bold and
characteristic defense of the trusts.
He says that the trusts are all right,
natural, and eminently desirable He
compares them to the labor organz-
ations and says that he has always
been in favor OF labor organizati TONS
Hanna lies. He used every means in
his power to break up the Seamens S
union on the Lakes, and drove down
their wages 30 per cent. He used all
the means in his power and spent hun
dreds Of thousands of dollars to break
down the Miners union. In this fight,
without destroying the union, he sue
ceeGed in reducing their wages over 50
Fer cent at the same time advancing
the price of coal enough to make up
twice over ever dollar expended in the
twice over every dollar expended in
the fight.
"HoWever," continues Hanna, "if the
trusts are e. menace to the country,
what party better than the republican
party can give relief?''
The trusts contributed twenty mill
ions Of dollars to elect Mckinley. They
Will stand ready to contribute another
twenty million next year for the privi-
lege of writing the answer to Mr.. Han
mas question.
Where will the twenty millions come
from? \ comparison Of the prices of
farm products now and four years ago,
with the prices Of trust products for
the same two periods. shows that the
~ ci,,cr nf Io
produces has shrunk one third A sim
liar comparison between the wages of
Workingmen, even those employed by
trusts, and the products Of the trusts,
shows an even greater shrinkage in the
purchasing power Of wages. Wages
have scarcely recovered beyond the fig
lvres which held when Mckinley took
office. Where is the vantage to Ell
ther farmer or Workingnan if every
slight advance which comes to either
is more than twice taken away 10y the
advance in prices which the trusts eN-
act? The farmers and Workingmen
are to be robbed to create the fund
which is to be used for their further
oppression.
There is one consolation: The people
are going to KNOW all aHOut TIE IL 10 -
and their methods by the time the next
canpsfgn begins. Witnesses before
the Industrial Commission have been
letting the cat out Of the bag. Nearly
all of the trusts are organized under

The Flag in the PHILIPPINES.

What flag is that meath Orient skies

Is't not stranger flag in stranger land
Unfurled to breeZeo
In unison with me, Ger shadowy
mount.
My spirit hears:
SIS that the blue are those the stars
We saw in tears,
In tears that came from hearts aglow,
Aglow with pride,
When above the flag at Yorktown
furled,
To Heaven allied,
The blue, the stars in blended folds
OF red and white,
Looked up to God, a banner free,
Born in right?'
"Old flag, old flag. Why art thou here
In alien land?
Wou1d'st die in wrong? Would'st bow
to earth
A spirit grand,
The same thy stars inspired at Lexing-
ton?
In thy power
Mock not the blue of GOd,-'tWill be
Thy weakest hour
"Old flag, old flag! Thou madst me
free.
In awful breech
At Petersburg I gave the life born en-
slaved;
Thou didst teach
My spirit then twas sweet, twas
grand
For liberty to die.
What teacheth now to patriot foes
Ger whom
Thy colors fly?"
"Old flag, old flag! When thou fell
low \,
On Sumter's wall,
In Illinois, dear Illinois, with hand to
ploW,
I heard the CALL
The call to lift again thy sacred folds:
And through wars
Red wave at Donaldson, aloft mid
cheers
I bore thy stars.
With thee pressed close to heart I fell,
Proud to die.
And now, why here old flag? Woulds st

From: del:ths Of soul that that. banner

"Son of Illinois,
Son of Illinois! Press thy cheek again,
My valient boy,
On folds that love thee. am here
For lust of gold.
My stars are eyes that weep and weep
When they behold
The scenes that shade my soul in
shame.
Turn not away
Old friends,-above the clouds thou
bore me
In the fray c
Above the clouds for man, not gold.

I hear,-they'll furl me now to rest,
Days duty done.
Oh, lower me not with servile show,
