A Poets Impressions of Missions

NEW YORK, Sept. 30, 1870.
Invent at 1 o'clock today to hear
Nilsson. She sang in concert at Stein
way hall; t'other artists were Vieux-
temps, the violinist; Wehli, pianist; ;
Brignoli, tenor, and Verger, baritone.
Mile. Nilsson singeth as thou and l
love. She openeth her sweet mouth and
turneth her head O one side like a
mocking bird in the moonlight, and
straightway cometh forth the purest sill
YER tones that ever mortal voice made.
Her pianissimo was like dawn, which
crescendo'd presently into glorious
noon of tone, which then did die away
into quiet gray twilight of clear, me-
lodious whisper. She sang nothing mean
or light or merely taking. HandePs
CANCELS Ever Bright and Fair, solo; a
duet with Brignoli, by Blangini, and a
noble solo, scena from Ambrose

Even after they make such pledges
there is danger that they will be re,
pudiated when the legislatures meet.
In 1898 both political platforms in New
Hampshire demanded legislation, max
ing free railroad passes illegal. The
great railroad sent free passes to all
the members of the Legislature, they
kept them, and when the bill to forbid
free passes came up the vote was: for
it, %; against it, 1927
Human nature is the same in other
States as it is in New Hampshire.
Therefore, the people must be in ear
nest; and not only get the pledges into
the platforms of the parties, but elect
legislators who can be depended upon
to fulfill them; or the people should
punish them at the next election.
The Republican party must be the
first to meet the new issue which trusts
and monopolies are forcing upon the
country. It began as the party OF the
people and must continue to be such.
It's State conventions and it's next Ma
tionaI Convention must declare against
trusts and its legislators must obey its
platforms. The Democratic party can,
not be trusted. Mr.. Cleveland, in his
last canvass, made the most dema
gogical and anarchistic appeals in or
der to obtain votes, but when he was
elected he shamefully surrendered to
the money power, to the corrupting
bond syndicates and the lavish. handed
plutocrats. MI. Mckinley is Of a diff
ferent make. Ne recognizes his duty
to his party and its platforms, to it's
principles and its measures, and he
follows and obeys in peace and war the
declared wishes of the American PEG
ple.

the bank note is dependent upon the
Government, how can it be any better
than the governments own paper, and
why should the government pay Ma
tional banks a bonus to induce them to
issue bank notes which are in no re
spect superior and in some respects In
ferior to to the greenbacks issued by
the government and for which the peo'
pie pay no bonus7
1.-The trusts are now absorbing an in.
creasing share of public attention be-
cause of their rapid growth during the
last two years. We had a sugar trust
and an oil trust some years ago. We
now a biscuit trust and a match trust,
and a meat trust-in fact q trust In
almost everything that is used. The
milk trust reaches the infant as he en-.
tiers the world, the ice trust cools him
in the summer, the coal trust keeps
him warm in the winter, while the
coffin trust waits to receive him when
LIES httul dream is over. The people
are beginning to Q what the principle
of monopoly really means, and yet the
principle of monopoly, so plainly illus
trated by the industrial trusts, does
not differ at all from the principle Of
monopoly which underlies both the
gold standard and the paper money
trusts.
1.-The Democratic party is prepared
to face the future and meet new Issues
without abandoning the old. The Re-
publican party has demanded that the
standing army be increased to 100, 600
men. II citizens born in the United
States are ignorant of the burdens Of a
standing army, they ear receive in
structionsf from these born in European
tries. Many Europeans who are now
worthy citizens of this great republic
left their European homes because Of
the burdens imposed by the enormous
military establishments. Agreat army
may be a good thing for the railroad
companies which will carry it from
place to place, and for the large con.
tractors who will furnish food and
raiment for the soldiers, but it is a
distressing burden upon the plain peo-
pie Of the country, especially upon the
laboring men and the farmers upon
whom an unfair share Of the load has
fallen"

come of the present situation. Neither
il it far out of the way to inquire II 1t
is not about time for the plain people
of this country to assert their strength
and to do their duty in the matter OF
curling the power and controlling the
actions of these vast aggreRations OF
capital which affect ~iDjuriously the
welfare OF the toiling millions and
threaten the very existence of the gov
eminent. So far as we can discover,
NEITHER OF THE GREAT POLITICAL PAR
TIES will take any decided stand against
the trusts. A few Mandy pamby
planks in a platform, which can be IN
terpreted to suit she reader, the shift
ing of responsibility for action from
one official to another, is about the ex
tent of the relief promised through
present political methods. And prob
able will be the extent, until the rank
and file of both parties shall rise in
their might and smash the political
idols before whom they are now pros
EPet0d.

A POPULIST ON TRUSTS.

Senator Butler, Writing for the Caucas-
ian, Says That Both Old Parties Will
Make a "Sham Fight" Against Trusts
The Washington Post in a recent
editorial, in reply to a letter from a
correspondent asking which one Of the
old parties would probably declare
against trusts in the next cam
paign, said in substance: "Why both
Of the old parties will of course declare
against trusts; they will try to Guido
each other in denouncing trusts. The
one that holds it's National Convention
1rst will attempt to exhaust the Eng
lish language in decrying and denounc
ing them as evils and promising to
abolish them. The other one when it
meets in convention will try to Guido
the former"
The Post ia no doubt right in THE,
and yet we would be willing to lay a
wager of dollars to doughnuts that
neither one of these old parties will de-
clare that they are in favor of remov-
ing the causes that produce trusts, and
that if they do they will attempt to
fool the public by naming the false
causes instead Of the real causes. In
short, neither n of them will declare
for taking the instruments Of com
merce out Of the hands Of private mo
nopolies and using them as public func-
tions, as the forefathers intended.
Whoever controls the instruments OF
commerce controls commerce; who.
ever controls commerce controls the
government. Therefore, if the gov
eminent does not control the instru
ments of commerce, those who do con
troll the instruments Of commerce will
be greater than the government. That
this statement is true every n can
satisfy themselves by simply looking
around and seeing who to day control
the instruments of commerce in this
country and he will see that they are
the ones who are running the govern
ment, making themselves millionaires
at the expense of the laboring and pro
ducing classes,
