BY carefully analyzing the final
returns Of the recent election it is
plain that the republicans have not
the slightest prospect of carrying
a single state carried by Bryan in
1896, while the states of Maryland
and Kentucky are practically sure
to be democratic and New York,
Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Wisconsin
and Minnesota are all doubtful.
New York was carried by Roose
welt last year by only 1900 and it
it evident that no other republican
could have carried it. New York
is an uncertain state, but every
thing indicates that she will mount
the anti-republican band wagon
and be counted for Bryan next
year.

DANGER IN CHEAP GLASSES.
A Greut Many Eyes Ruined by At
terrpts al Economy.


Looking back now to the time when
the itinerant quack doctor and the
wandering dentist spread misery and
destruction over the land. we wonder
at the ignorance or caTelessness Of our
fathers in trusting their teeth or even
their lives to hands so untruStwortnE.
4 very similar thing is done today by
people who buy Spectacles or eyeglass-
es from men who sell them on the
streets or have their eyes fitted by OPP
ticians who have no qualifications for
doing the work.
A surprising number of people buy
their glasses from vendors on the
streets. They get glasses for 30 cents
which seem to them just as good as a
pair they would pay So for having
made on an oculist's prescription. and
they think they have saved money.
Glasses acC,lircd in all sorts of ways
by Inheritance or exchange from a
friend or even glasses found on the
streets are used to the detrimcnt. even
to the destruction, of the wearer's
sight.
"People seem to think glasses are
like clothes" said an old oculist the
other day. land if they are fairly COM
Portable and look we'll they ask no
further questions"
Another way in which people dam
age their eyes is through carelcsSncss
in trying to remove dust or cinderS
from them. They try themselves. a
friend tries Il rub. the nearest drug
store and tho nearest optician are call
ed on. all before an oculist is consult

often badly rubbed and scrapcd. and
in many instances permanent injury Is

commission several interesting
things last week as to how the tin
plate trust is making il impossible
for him 10 manufacture tin plate as
a private concern. but the most in

tin plate trust had been organized
the price of tin plate had advanced

pounds; that neither the advance
IN wages nor increase in the price
OF raw material justified such an
advanced price; at 81 90 per hun

So 81 would be a very protl,ab e
price; out Of az mills originally in

To The UNION further comment
seems unnecessary. The farmer S

comforting thought that cvrry

her humble way adding to the

International Trusts.

coming international in scope
Ohm w. Gates, managing director
Of the American steel and wire
rust, frankly tcs!shed before the
Industrial commission last week
that he had negotiated with Great
Britain, France, Germany, Bel
GUM and other countries to bring
about a consolidation Of all wire
producing interests. His state
mcnt about an international wire
trust merely illustrates what is 60
ing on among other concerns.
The trust proposes TO monopolize
the earth and the fulness thereof
for its private profit.
The republican party, under
whose fostering care trusts are
born and flourish, has lately shown
marked indifference to protect
ion, It is practically stamped as
one OF the issues no longer of vital
Importance. The trusts jauntiEy
admit that protection is of some
value to them, but it is evident
that there are other things of much
more importance in the attempt to
corner the earth. They realize
that by their scheme of closing
factories and keeping wages down
and putting prices up, they are
seriously limiting the consuming
capacity Of this country. In q
comparatively short time they will
have supplied all the consumers in
the United States who can afford
TO pay their prices. The trusts
are looking for the European mar
ket for their products.
Mr.. Gates frankly admitted that
| the steel and wire trust is selling
its goods cheaper in England and
on the continent than here. That
kind of trust doesn't need much
protection.
incidentally it may be presumed
that the trusts having completed
international arrangements will
have no pref udlce against manu-
featuring their goods IN Europe if
that happens to be more cconom-
ical than importing the cheap labor
to this country The trust has no
sentimental desire to employ or
protect American labor if it can
manufacture to better advantage
elsewhere and force US to buy ITS
products or 60 without.
This same agent of the steel and
wire trust sounded the key note OF
the new privileges which the trusts
will ask Of congress. Here are the
things which this man Gates says
the trusts want:
| Subsidies to encourage" manu-.
facturers.
Bountes for national corpora
| tons capitalized at IS, 900, 900 and
over.
| Liberal subsidies to steamship
lines.

a Wal Street Administration.


a Wal Street Ajsltnistrati,n
TIE UNION has sometimes re
ferred to the Mckialey adminis,ra
ton as "a Wall street adminis,ra-
ton" BY some the title may be
passed by as unwarranted, bu,
The UNIOS rises to insist that the
title IS neither unwarranted, nor is
it too strong. For proof let US
call your attention to a few cold
facts OF recent occurrence.
A few weeks ago the newspapers
announced stringency in Wal!
street circles. The holders of gov
ernment bonds there needed some
ready money to tide them over the
stringency and requested tha, Ly-
man J. Gage, Mr.. Mckinley's sec
rotary OF the treasury and Chief
financial adviser, advance the No
vember interest on the bonds held
by them, but which was not vel
due. The ad administration knows
its friends and supporters and the
moncy-S26, 900, ooo-was p d

and without protest, merely as d

does not last long in Wall stree
circles.
Notwithstanding the prevailing
"wave Of prosperity" anothe
money strlngency was announced
from the same source last week.
There was no bond interest to b.
advanced, but the administration
could be counted on to stand bv it:
Wall street supporters in some
way or other. The suggestion
was made that the government
buy back from these bondholders
$25, ooo, 900 OF government bond:
and pay premium of II per CEN
for he blessed privilege OF helping
Wall street out OF a hole. Gage
favored the plan and the deal wa:
contaminated. Six millions o.
bonds have already been turned il
and the rest are coming as fast a:
