The Trust Evil,

The Mckinley administration
might properly and truthfully be
termed the administration Of the
trusts. for it has been the high tiGe
81 trust formation and the pinnacle
ofswealtn Capitalization. It has
been the one great period which
has seen capital concentrate to
stihe competition, to control the
price paid to the producer Of the
raw materials, to dictate the price
81 the manufactured product when
offered to the consumer-the indi-
ridnal citizen-and finally e force
the American people into absolute
sub lection to pay 40 unjust trlb-
ate 10 orgaaized greed for what
,zaature forces Them 70 consume.
Never has The trust mania reached

Products Of Sweatshop Labor.

The UNION has had considerable
to say Of late regarding the infam-
Gus sweat>hop system in the eastern
cities, and the filthy and d~isease-in-
tested products coming from these
slave.dens Qor they a"e nothing less)
but it desires to register still an
other protest along this line.
Last September Carl UpnAnn, tn Z
well known New York cigar manu-
f%acturer, inaugurated a wage re-
duction among the union employees
Of his factory ranging from 81 so to
81 80 per week each. The cigar
makers union refused to submit to
the reduction and a walkout en-.
sued. With union labor in his en-
ploy Upmann had become a mil.
l%ionaire and his cigars gained a ma
tional reputation for their cleanli-
ness and true merit. But he re-
placed his union employees with scab
labor and his goods today are com.
ing from sweatshops and are the
product Of labor employed at star
yation wages. None Of Upmanu's
boxes or cases bear the union labe!
and no reputable smoker should buy
a cigar Of the Upmann stripe. His
gentleman Joe" brand is soil in
Rapid City. Don't buy it. Make
ii stand for honest labor at honest
wages. You know what you get
when you buy union-made goods.
In justice to Rapid Citv's factory
The UNION will say that Heron
& McDonough operate a union fac
tory. This insures the best of ci-
gars md merits the cooperation of
every reputable smoker and friend
of labor.

The Fusion City Ticket

If Rapid City needs anything
she needs conservative, eConoml-
cal and business-likc city govern
ment made up of men who are
property n and taxpayrs who
have the welfare and prosperity OF
the city thoroughly at heart. This
is no time to foist onto the city a
set of officials named by any little
clique of men whose interest in
the city's welfare is measured by
the prospects Of personal gain.
We have had enough of that sort
of thing.
The two city tickets are before
the people and the victory or de-
feat of the candidates now rests
with the citizens of this city. Re-
CARELESS of the questions at issue,
the so-called republi IAN ticket rep
resents that one banking institu-
ton which has always been tn,
self-constituted dictator in county
and city affairs. The cleanliness
Of these republican, candidates
does not alter this fact in the least.
No candidate with a string Of this
character attached can serve this
city to the best acknowledgements
Der that-and the best government,
possible is none too good for Rap
id City.
On the other hand, the fusion
ticket, headed by Hon. Chauncev
L. Wood for mayor, fully repre-.
sents the property owners, taxpay.
ers and conservative business in
terests of this city. 1t owes allie
glance to nc man or set Of men
and is pledged to honest govern
ment and the enforcement Of the
law. That is enough. This is no
time for extremes of any character.
Law. enforcement fills the whole
bill and no loud-sounding platform
is necessary. Platforms and reso-
slut,ons come cheap.
The whole situation summed up
is this: Vote the bank ticket and
you MAY get what you want; vote
the fusion ticket and you WILL get
Acknowledgement and clean, con
sentative and economical city gov
eminent. Take your choice.

What is the result? We have
seen it even since the Inauguration
Of Mcklnley--,he formation Of
trusts, scores Of them, hundreds
Of them, for the sole purpose Of
throttling competition, robbing the
people and destroying any and all
"'o dar d oppose them--there is
iii" result. Look at 1t, reader.
Ponder over it and imagine what
the continuance of such a policy
, must mean to the American citizen.
| What of our constitutional rights.
What Of the opportunities due the
individual citizen? What of free
government and Tree institutions?
Think OF these things-are they
not vital to our national existence2
In the words of Congressman
Johnson OF Indiana: 81 have no
fault to find with the spirit
of legitimate American commerce,
but my contention is against the
spirit Of American greed which
cares nothing for THE SPIRIT OF
AMERICAN LIBERTY"
While comparatively few repub
llCan statesman, have dared raise
their voice against trust robbery
and trust domination, still there is
an occasional one who refuses tc
forget his countrymen and who
sees the danger of such a policy.
Among these we quote the follow.
ing words uttered by Chauncey M
Depew before the present trust ad.
ministration began its rule anc
ruin policy. OF the aggressivenes:
OF the trusts Mr.. Depew said:
These great concerns, with theil
enormous capital, go into a towr
and in order TO get the business
to crush out their weaker Competl
tors-Will undersell them and be
cause of their vast business is ell
abled to undersell them and the
individual business men Canno
help themselves. Every one O
these small men must 90 to tn
wall. 1t is a mere question o
time when the trusts will either
absorb or ruin them all. In hv,
years from today there will not b.
an independent business man II
any large place in the United
States. Every business will be II
the hands of a giant consolidate
} organization called a trust.
What shall we say of the testi
mony of such men as Johnson c
Indiana and Depew of New York
Hav. not their years in public lf
: given them an opportunity t
judge intelligently? If not sue
; men as these, then VINO shall poin
out the dangers Of this policy? LIE

such alarming proportions as it
has under the protection Of the
Mckinley administration. These
%capitalistic giants have either
forced the individual citizen to sell
his business to them or they have
ruined him, and thereby destroyed
their competition. Such a system
strikes dangerously near the rights
of the individual American, stiles
the aspirations of the young man
on the threshold of commercial life
and is a standing n to free
institutions and free government.
We have referred to the protec-
ton given these trusts under the
Mckinley administration. This is
no idle assertion. Lest it be CON
sidered such, we recall the fact
that in the presidential campaign
of 1896 which resulted in the cleo
lion Of William Mckinley to the
presidency, nearly 100 trusts con-
tributed to the republican national
campaign fund an aggregate sum
exceeding fifteen millions of dol
lars! Furthermore, the republi
can national campaign was man
aged by the recognized leader Of
trusts, Marcus Hanna, whose
whole career has been one long
chapter of opposition to the con-
stitutional rights of the masses.
He has ever been a labor-crusher
and an INSCRIPTIONS oppressor,
whose patriotism and loyalty to
country is measured by dollars and
cents. There is no denying these
assertions.
Now what are the conclusions
to be drawn from the picture,
plainly, but none the less truth
fully, painted above? Did the
trusts of this country contribute
fifteen millions to debauch Ameri-
can voters in 1896 for the purpose
of electing a man TO the presi-
dency who would oppose them7
Think of this phase of the case.
Was Hanna, the head OF the trust
world and the open enemy to la
Dor, chosen to conduct that cam
paign and secure the election of a
president who would oppose the
formation of these gigantic or
carnations to rob the people?
The humblest citizen KNOWS that
William Mckinley was elected
because he would foster and pro-
tect trusts and make possible the
2lundering of the people. The
humblest citizen KNOWS that trust
magnates eve aid in the election
Of a foe. The humblest citizen
KNOWS, also, that this fifteen mill,
ions Of money was used in 1896 to
debauch American voters and e
The Black Hills union. [volume] (Rapid City, Pennington County, Dakota [S.D.]) 1889-1904, 1899-04-14

cure the election of William Nc
kin]ey-a man personally clean,
but who today truckles before his
masters and dares not utter ! word
or raise 4 finger against the inter
ests of those who have purchased
for him the presidency by debauch
ing American manhood.
Further proof of Mckinley's alb
solute subservjency to the trusts
lies in the fact that he appointed
for the attorney general Of the
United States a man (Grig5s) who
was constantly hobnobbing with
the money kings, the stock jobbers
and trust magnates of Wall street
and when called upon to enforce
the law relative to trusts, pleaded
that he could do nothing to pre-.
vent their formation" that it was
the "duty of the several states to
legislate against the trusts
What shall we say of such a truckl-
ing excuse for a public servant?
Where are the words with which
TO ftly condemn such a damnable
servant to organized capital? The
falsity Of this %plutocratic servant is
shown from the tact that the rob
bing system of these trusts is not
confined to any one state. The
nation is their field and a national
law is the only one which will ef-
fec,ually apply to the evil.
But if further proof is needed to
show that the Mckinley admins
tration and the. republican party
is in the employ of the trusts, we
have but to cite the act introduced
by Senator Pettigrew of South Da-
kota in which he proposed to place
those products controlled by trusts
on the free ist,-admit those pro-
ducts duty free from foreign coun-
tries the moment it was proven
that they were actually controlled
BY trusts. This would have re-es-
tablished competition and made it
impossible for trust-magnates to
dictate the tribute to be paid them
by the American people. People
could have purchased the foreign
products rather than pay tribute to
trusts. There would have been no
wall Of Dingley tariff to shut out
the foreign product and the trust
would be forced to dissolye. But
what of this M e a S intended
for tn people? 1T was op
posed by every republican sup,
porter of the administration and
was consequently defeated. Why7
Simply because, as stated before,
Mckinley nor the republican party
dare raise voice or hand against
their masters who purchased their
supremacy in 1896 by debauching
