IT MOVES THE PEOPLE.
The Antitrust Crusade Is a Move.
ment in the Peoples
Behalf.

There is significant indication of the
pronounced trend of public sentiment
in the news telegraphed from Chicago
of the formation in that city of an anti
trust society to be duly incorporated
under the laws of Illinois. The object
for which this society has been formed
is that of combating the growth of
the trust evil by opposing a solid and
systematic organization to that omi-
nous movement. Much effective work
may unquestionably be done by clubs
of this description, affiliated with the
national organization of the democratic
party, which is leading the fight on the
trusts. The alliance is imperatively
necessary to secure that compact for
nation and intelligent direction upon
which success so largely depends. The
antitrust crusade is a movement in be-
half of the people, of the rights of in
dividual merchants and legitimate COM
merce and industry, and it is only un-
der the standard of democracy that it
may be carried to victorious termina-
ton. The democratic party will be JUS
titled in encouraging the formation of
antitrust societies in every state in
the union, and these societies will best
accomplish their purpose by becoming
a part of the democratic line of battle
for the campaign of 1900. 1t is graft
flying to see the people voluntarily en-
listing in the war upon the trusts. 1t
means the triumph of democracy and
the people against republicanism and
the trusts next year.-St. Louis Repub.
Iron County register., 1899-08-10
ALGER THE sCAPEGOAT.
Made to Bear the Blame for Political
Blunders of Mckinley,
Hanna & Co.

With the removal of Alger-a removal
just the same, although cloaked under
the guise of esignation-republic
politicians, with Mckinley in the lead,
hope to disarm criticism of the admins
tration.
Alger has been made the scapegoat
and has been burdened with all the sins,
mistakes and political blundering of
Mckinley, Mark Hanna & Co.
But the hope to escape criticism is
vain. Measures, not men, are the issues
before the people, and bad policy cam
not be bolstered up by securing new
man to conduct it.
That Mckinley and his aids are
scheming to secure a second term as
president for the present occupant of
the white house is a patent fact. Alger
was elected from the cabinet to forward
this ambition, but a change of policy
must be made if success is to be secured.
Either the Filipinos must be con-
quered quickly or they must be pacified
promptly if McKinley's hope to succeed
himself as president is to have the
slightest excuse for being entertained
Neither contingency seems imminent,
and the conclusion is not favorable to
the republican scheme.
Doubtless the results flowing from
the removal of Alger will disappoint the
schemers. For a time the people will
restrain criticism and give the new sec
retary of war fair chance, but as the
policy of the administration is not pop
ular the end will be more criticism and
more trouble for the president.-Chi-
cago Democrat.
