1t has been claimed vociferously
by the Republican press that the
passage of the Dingley tariff bill
was essential, among other things,
to the salvation of the tin plate in
dustry OF this country. Recently
published figures from the Bureau
of Statistics throw some light up
on the proposition. Taking 1 @
14x2O, per box of 100 pounds, as a
basis, it is found that in October,
1892, before the election of Cleve-
land, the price was $4,85. A month
after his election it was $505.
August 3, 1894, before the passage
of the Wilson tariff bill, it was
S4729, and September 7th, same
year, after the passage of that bill,
the price was unchanged.
A month latter, however, the
price went to SO 85, and there were
cries that the industry was ruin
cd" October 2, 1896, before the
election of Mckinley, the price
was $50, and July 2, 1897, before
the passage of the Dingley bill, it
was $3.7O, and remained substanti
ally at that price until the end of
the year. In the first half of 1896
the price touched $3.85 several
times, but January 6, 1999-mark
it-long after the passage of the
Dingley bill, and when it was in
full operation, the price went to
S2.925, and before the combine
was formed quotations were as low
as 50 60, and even at this low price
was good profit for the manufaotu-
rers, and many new plants were
erected, here in Wheeling as else
where. If these figures prove
anything they prove that the Will
son bill did not endanger the tin
industry, and that the howl was q
purely political one. The trust
has now forced the price to 81,
with prospect of still higher
rate.-Wheeling Register.

The Trusts and the q. o. II.

st. Louis Republic.
There is an opera bouffe flavor in
the repeated attempts of local Re
publican papers to attach credit to
their party for opposing trusts.
The fact is that trust influences
dominated the st. Louis conyen-
tion, dictated the platform and NOM
mated the candidate. Trust money
was freely contributed to elect him,
Since MoKinley's entrance into
office trusts have multiplied as the
sands of the seashore. They are
sure of their ground and will go ON
invading the productive sources of
the country, undeterred by the de-
olarations of trust nnimosity made
by newspapers of doubtful sim
oerity.
AS to the attitude of the Repub.
lioan party on the subject of trusts,
that was put on record when the
Democrats in the last Congress
offered an amendment to the Din
gly bill putting on tho free list all
manufactured articles made the
subject of monopoly by trust. Tho
Republicans voted down the
amendment and thereby put their
party officially on the journals of
Congress as openly and boldly up
holding and abetting unlawful com
bines in restraint of trade.
The American people will hardly
be duped into intrusting the OK
termination of this growing brood
of commercial monsters to party
whose politics and practices are re-,
sponsible for its incubation.

for Democracy in 1900 in tn
ranks, and for the principle OF
"Smash the trusts" He believes
that on such platform the De.
mocracy will prove victorious in
the national campaign of next year.
Champ CIarlS's Platform for
1900.
i. We will not only reaffirm but
adopt the Chicago platform of
1896, word for word, syllable by
yllable, abating neither jot nor
itle of that second Declaration of
Independence.
2. We will put into our platform
as strong an antitrust plank as the
merican language can make-the
merican language, mark you, not
the English-which will restore to
every citizen of this Republic the
lpnlienable right to earn his bread
in the sweat of his face, which will
guarantee to every laborer the en-
joyment of all his wages, and which
will once more make possible that
competition which was supposed
to be the life of trade until the Re-
publican party created countless
brood of trusts which are sucking
the life blood of the great body of
the people. In my judgment the
best way for Congress to smash the
trusts is to place upon the free list
all things used or made or sold by
the trusts. Then let both Con-
gross and State Legislatures mako
it penitentiary offense to form,
conduct or be Interested in a trust,
and these cancerous excrescences
will be Topped from the body

3. We will declare emphatioally
and unequivooally in favor of the
preservation of the Monroe Doc
trine in all it's vigor and against
the criminal idiooy of corrupting
and destroying our institutions by
making American citizens out OF
ton million heathen Malays under

4. We will declare in unmista-
kable language that we will put n
sudden stop to the wicked and
wanton waste of the peoples mon
ey-which, as evidenced by the
recklessness of the fifty-fith Con-
gress, amounts to practical confis-
cation,
5. We will declare everlasting
hostility to government by iniuno-
tion, both of which are being foist-
ed5npon the country for the benefit
and at the behest of the trusts and
jobbers of every degree.

Bryan The Man.

Apart altogether from the polit
ical ideas which he promulgates
with SO much yigor and intelligence
it is doubtful if the American re-
public has produced a more remark.
able entity than William Jennings
Bryan. His physical vigor alone is
a constant source of wonder to 9TH
er public men, who have broken
down under one-fifth part of the
strain which Bryan has undergone,
and from which he has emerged
placid, calm and unexhausted.
Despite the ridicule of the press,
which has employed every sophis-
try that brains and money could
produce to burIesque Bryan, to mis-
represent him in all things both
great and small, such is the charm
of his personality, the power of his
eloquence or the dominent and
magnetic force of his intellect, that
the people still rush to hear him in
hordes, Notwithstanding the fact
that they expect to read in the plu-
tooratic papers the next day that
their hero addressed q beggarly ar
ray of empty benches. The peo-
pie are acquiring habit of seeing
things for themselves, and the old
dodge of lying about observable
facts has lost its potency.
Mr.. Bryan probably has a wider
actual knowledge of the United
States from personal observation
than any man living. 1t is said
that he has spoken publicly in
every one of the States. He does
not repeat his speeches except as
to great underlying principles, and
his faculty in this difficult branch
of oratory seems marvellous even to
students of art of speaking. In
speaking, his sense of proportion
is perfect, and he never talks him
self out. He is far too much in
earnest to be humorous speaker
in the sense in which Depew is,
but he occasionally lightens his
discourse with anecdote or parable,
after the manner of Abraham Lin
coin. 1t is noticeable among the
crowds that flock to hear Bryan
that they also are in deadly earnest
and therefore in accord with the
speaker
Mr.. Bryan is the most striking
figure in the public life of his coun-
try. Even the hidebound and SER
vile organs If the trusts break
through the bounds of their hy-
pocrisy and pay an honest tribute
of admiration to man who would
rather be right than politic.-New

ono Trmst Operation.

Having gathered to itself nine
tenths of the manufacturing ability
of its line, the window glass trust
has closed down it's factories for an
Indefinite period, and seventeen
thousand mon are idle as result
This is an example of trust op.
erations. The combine has mo-
nopoly of production, has adjusted
the price at a figure which snits it,
and which must be paid by con
sumers without either protest OF
question, and now the factories are
closed until the stocks on hand
have been worked off at the adj
vance. AS result dividends will
be paid upon millions of watered
stocks, and thousands of working
mon will suffer as one result, while
consumers will suffer on the other
hand. A further advance in prices
of glass, indeed, is not improbable
during the continuance of this
shutdown, and those who don't
like it will simply have to grin and
bear it.
Ono of the main and stock argu-
ments of trust promoters and ben
eficiaries is that it decreases prices
through reduced expenditures in
management, and all the rest of it,
and again, that it benefits the
workingmen employed through adj
vanced wages. mado possible by
the peculiar conditions possible un-
der general combination. Both
of these arguments are fallacious.
1t is true that the general Office ex-
ponses have been reduced, but that
particular economy goes exclusive
ly to swell profits; it is not truo
that prices have been reduced,
either in the glass trust or any
other Tho advantages to the
workman of increased wages are
not apparent, when he is laid off
for an indefinite period, at no wages

This is trust history and trust
practice, and the trail of the ser
pent will be found throughout
every branch of industry which has
been absorbed into the Unsuitable
nav of these gigantic and essen

trust means evil to consumer, en-

can come out of it, in any shape or

period will thoroughly demonstrate
these facts.
Restricted production and ad-

stock in trade of these corporations.
And the public will, in the end,
