Trusts and Industrial csHshina-

A chief source of complaint against the
trusts is that they purchase tho plants of
rivals, then close and dismantle them.
Rivals of the Standaid Oil Company say
that at TitusvilIe, Pennsylvania, and in
many other places, large and well equipped
refineries which had been running at a
profit have been purchased by the company,
the machinery taken out, the buildings
torn down, and only the blsckened chim-
neys remain as an evidence of the ruin
that the trust has wrought. Within q
few months the American Steel and Wire
Company purchased plant of rival at
Charlottesville, Indiana. The plant was
Immediately closed. the men thrown out Of
employment. The industry had been the
chief manufacturing industry of the little
city. The workmen employed there had,
many of them, purchased homes, and
through the agency of the building aud
loan associations were paying for them.
They were counted among the prosperous
Trustworthy citizens of Crawiordsville- The
dismantling of the plant threw them out
of employment, and will force many of
them to surrender their homes, while the
city has lost a chief source of its pros
perity. Is there a sufficient reason for the
trusts to take such action?

The Democrat has made several charges
against the Republican tickets makeup.
Mr.. Pierson disproved them last week
through communication to the THE Con-
sTITUTIoN wherein he used facts thar
would convince any reasonable man, or
one who is even disposed to be fair
Constitution.
The DEMOCRAT has charged that Solo
men II. Stanger's nomination was accom-
plished by corruption of voters-the use
of large sum of money at the primary
election. That voters were debauched with
liquor; and Democrats were invited and
urged to vote at the Republican primaries !;
in one town Democrat was promised $40
for running his team, and 81 for every
Democratic vote he got in for Stanger that
Mr.. Stanger himself importuned Demo-
Gratis of his town to come out and vote at
the Republican primary under the plea
that such act did not bind them to support
the nominee at the general election, but
was only an expression of opinion as to his
preference OF Republican candidates. These
things we said and these things we are pre-
p ired to prove. Mr.. Pierson did not,
neither did he attempt, to deny them.
Gloucester County Democrat., 1899-10-19

Editor Barber advises that Republicans
should oppose Nh. Prehl's election because
Mr.. Prehl does not propose to run the
Sheriff's Office as Republican. and against
the Democratic party"
1t will be a surprise to a good many peo-
pie in this county to know that person
who holds three offices performs the duties
thereof as Republican and against the
Democratic party" and expects every other
Ofice-holder 10 do the same, even to the
Sheriff. the highest executive officer in the
county. The idea that public Office is a
public trust, isn't part of Editor Barber's
creed, according to his own admission, and
in making it in print he shows his abso-
lutte unftDess either for public office or the
higher profession OF an educator of public
opinion.
We take the liberty of pledging the
people that if Mr.. Prehl is elected Sheriff
he will not hold the Office as Democrat
and conduct it against the Republican
party, but as public trust. in the interest
of all the peopIe-not against anybody. If
we believed he would do differently, we
should consider him ineligible to the
Office.
On this platform Mr.. Prehl will be elect
ed Sheriff by one Thousand majority on
November Z.

tIanna say. frasls are Dot % issue, and

Hanna says Trusts are not an issue, and
should not he forced into politics.
But the Trusts are intruding themselves,
of their own growth and momentum, more
prominently into politics of both county,
State and nation every day. But why not
an issue when Governor Voorhees, says thew
are good thing, and: Editor Barber says
"me too ?"
In the State of New Jersey during the
fiscal year which ended last week one
hundred charters were granted to absolute
trusts, not including many mushroom"
concerns of the nature of the Ramapo
Water Company.
Under the liberal laws of New jersey
alone fifteen thousand trusts and corpora
tions are operating in every section Of
America. Many hundreds of this number
have been organized to corner and control
certain products.
Outside of New Jersey there have been
more trusts charted this year than ever
before in the history of any country in the
world
When all these trusts are in full swing,
with all the power of their billions OF
dollars of capitalization when all food
products are cornered, when all materials
for wearing apparal and for personal COM
fort sIe sold or withheld from market as
the combinations may dictate, will Senator
Hanna still say that trusts are not vital
issue?
To all trusts in general, The Railroad
Trust in particular will extend, as in the
past. the hand of good fellowship in the
way of rebates on all shipments made by
them, and killing freight for those who
are outside the general combination.
Armour will receive rebates on his beef
Morgan on his coal, Havemeyer on his
sugar, and Rock eieller on his oil, while the
dealer outside the trusts must ship at
higher prices, without rebate and without
favor.
The extent of these determinations may
be imagined when it is stated that in six
teen months the rebate given the Standard
Oil Company amounted to $1l ,0O0O00.
If trusts are not a vital issue in the
campaign there is nothing vital in this
country.

Rrxan.a Plan 70 End War.

At Des Moines, Iowa. last Ueek, press
representative asked VIM. J. Bryan to state
his exact position on the Philippine
question, and if he favored the withdrawal
of our troops
Now | must ask you to be careful to
report me accurately on this point No
sir, | do not favor the withdrawal Of our
troops. What | do believe and what l
have repeatedly argued as my belief 10
that we should at once declare our purpose
in unequivocal terms so positive that the
Filipinos cannot doubt it, to grant them
full and complete independence the very
moment they have established stable
government | beiieve that if we should
make such an announcement that right
now the war would cease in very short
time and our troops could withdraw with
out laying down their arms in the face OF
an enemy. furthermore, wish to state
it to be my profound belief that if We had
come out with such an announcement III
the first place, the war would never have
occurred / am not unaware that few
half hearted efforts have been made in that
direction from time to time. But they
we're made in such q way as to raise strong
question of their sincerity"

General Ballington Booth. of the Volun-
teers, was raised to the third degree as a
Master Mason recently, in the presence of a
large number of men in the Montclair
Lodge. New Jersey. In speaking of the
work of Masonary subsequently, Ballington
Booth said:
81 had previously understood that there
was much in Masonry which was com
mendable, but had no conception that its
principles were so noble, it's work so in
structiye and beautiful or its pledges so
sacred and helpful. no longer wonder at
its surprising strength and influence as a
society, and / can now safely aud ever chal-
lenge any man of honor or integrity to find
anything in the work and teachings Of Free
Masonry which does not harmOnize With
the highest form of truth and righteous
ness"

Admiral sehiey at fiis Early Home.
Frederick, Md. Oct. 19.-Admiral
Sehley was warmly welcomed to his
boyhood home and home of his auces-
tors yesterday by thousands of Fred
erick's citizens and visitors from near
by points. When the train which bore
him from Washington pulled into the
station the platforms and streets were
filled with a surging mass of humanity.
and cheer after cheer greeted the naval
hero as he stepped from his porch A
reception committee escorted him to
the Frederick county fair grounds,
where another multitude awaited him.
In an address at the fair grounds he
warmly thanked his fellow towns
men" for the ovation. While here the
admiral will be the guest of Colonel
Baughman, who gave dinner in his

Ex-SDeaker Reed has been freely talking
at Washington ON the causes that COM
PEELED him to quit public life. Mr.. Reed
is totally out of harmony with the admin
istration on the l hilippine policy, and
believes that the Republican party, if it
carries out the present plan of suhjugating
the FilipinOs b. military power, will meet
with disaster in the elections next year.
He believes that the outcome of the Span
ish- American war did not necessarily
entail the programme that has been follow
ed in the Philippines. This was the cause
of his retirement from Congress.

The Philadelphia North american openly
and publicly charges. and proves, that
Josiah r. Adams, the Quay candidate for
the Superior Court Judgeship, was presi-
dent of fraudulent financial concerns
which we're organized for the purpose of
fleeing the public and whose ,harter was
revoked by the Rhode Island Legislature
for fraud. This most serious charge would
be potent anywhere except in Pennsyl-
vania and against Quay candidate There
everything goes thar has the ring stamp
on it. True American.
The True american is mistaken. The
Congressman from this District retains his
position as leader of the Republican party
in this District after his proven connection
with scheme hardly less reprehensible
than that alleged against the Republican
candidate for Supreme Judge in Pennsyl-
yania. Things that go in Pennsylvania go
here. too.

President Mckinley has made a treaty
with the Sultan of Sulu, and the Ameri-
can flag floats oyer the Sulu archipelago.
The Sultan and his chiefs draw an annual
salary from the treasury of the United
States. The Sultan is a Mohammedan
despot, and rules without let or hindrance
from the United States government His
government is the lowest and vilest on
the earth. The mass of the people in the
Sulu Islands are slaves Polygamy is an
institution of the church and State. The
Sultan and his chiefs have scores of wives
each, and the people of the United States
are taxed to support them.

From the resolutions adopted by the
Monmouth County Democratic Conven-
tion:-
ResolUed. That we are opposed to trusts.
which have for their purpose the elimins-
tion of honest competition and the absolute
control of markets; they are but con-
spiracies of combined capital to enrich the
few at the expense of the many they
destroy healthfnl and free competition, exact
exorbitant profits, reduce the earnings of
the wage worker, drive thousands of citi-
zens out of employment, lay tribute on all
the people. and are standing menace to
good order and the prosperity and comfort
of the people.
ResOlUed, That we favor such legislation
as will curtail and il possible destroy their
evil influences; and insist that legislation
be enacted for the benefit of the masses
and not in the interest of classes.

A little over one year ago the country
arose as man to sustain the national
administration in war for humanity.
Democrats and Republicans We'd with
each other to be first in the field. The
patriotic Outpouring is too fresh in the
public mind to require repeating now. In
local campaign in this county we have a
Republican paper quoting an alleged proc
lamation of the leader of weak, alien
race, 10000 miles distant, TO iDfame its
readers against local candidates of the
Democratic party. Some good samar-
itan ought to take Editor Barber
under cover, and jump little wisdom into
his shrivelled pate, else his readers will
have reason to appeal for judicial iDquisi-
tion into bis sanity.

The annual statement of the Pension
Department, just is-ued, shows that, in
round numbers, the States drawing the
highest pensions are Ohio, with SIS 600,
600; Pennsylvania. $l2 700, 600; New York,
$12.000O00; Indiana, $1O.OO0,OO0, and
Illinois, $9,000,0O0. Indiana has s., ,OO0
pensioners, who draw an average pension
of fraction over $3.50 per annum. In the
list Indiana has 225 veterans of the Civil
War who are drawing the limit of $72 a
month, and seventy veterans of the Civil
and one of the Mexican War who are draw
ing $50 month. In number of pensioners
and number of high pensioners in the
average for all in the Stale, Indiana leads
any other State in the Union BY a broad
margin. Indiana, with a population OF
10000 less than that of Massachusetts, by
the census of 1898, receives in pensions
$40 443 900 annually, while Massachusetts
gets but $5,42O,OOO. Similar comparisons
will show that Indiana is the greatest pen
sion State in the Union according to her
population. The Indiana pens ons run
$S03,OOO per district, Kansas SITS 600
Among the States at the front are Missouri
with S448 600, New Jersey with $4,000
