AT a special meeting of the Coun-

April 18th, 1899, the following res
olutions were unanimously adopted
WHEREAS, 1t has been the will of
God in His wise providence to re-

low citizen, George Mathews, a
member Of this Council, who de-

RcSOlced, by the council of the
town of Mason, that we tender our
heartfelt sympathy to the widow OF
our esteemed friend in her sad be-
reavment, and to the family in the
great and irreparabIe loss they have

The Trusts.

There are two factors that stand
in the way of career of CONNER
cial and industrial activity in the
United States, such as, perhaps,
the world has never seen. These
are too much politics in our life
national, state and municipal.
Over all hangs the dread shadow of
the Trusts. Politely termed aggre-
cations of capital or industrial
combinations, tho Trusts at pres
ent represent the greatest menace
to the happiness and prosperity of
the world.
An enormous number of people
are convinced that they are against
tho public good, and while they
possess the awful strength of cap
ital the people possess the greater
strength of votes. That Trusts
will be one of tho most important
issues of the next national cam
paign is already foregone con-
clusion. The drawing of the fangs
of the Trusts is one of the largest
contracts ever undertaken by the
Democratic party, and it will re:
main with tho people to put that
party in power for that purpose.
Otherwise the first four years of
the now century will be sullied by
the enormous increase of these
ruinous combinations.-N. Y. Dali

The Injustice of the Th1ng.

John d. Rochelle is tho richest
man in the United States. Nearly
all of his vast fortune is made up
of personal property. From this
property, which enjoys the full
protection of our laws, he receives
an income of from S12,OOO,OOO to
S15,OOO,OOO, as estimated by those
in position to know Yet Mr..
Rookefeller's property is assessed
at valuation of only 100000. He
is relatively to his fortune the very
smallest taxpayer in the United
States. But he gave a huge sum
to help elect Mckinley in 1896.
The impudent proposal of tho Bry-
an Democrats to tax his sacred in
come was not to be tolerated.

Bryan's Consistency.

Referring to the two recent
speeches by Mr.. Bryan, one in Mil
waukee and ono in New York, the
Philadelphia Press says that the
two speeches can be taken as voic-
ing the position of the Democratic
party today, and the platform on
which it will go before the country
in the presidential campaign next
year.
Mr.. Bryan's position as outlined
in both of his speeches is clear and
consistent. He believes in the
Chicago platform and proposes SO
far as the matter rests with him
that it shall be the platform of the
party next year. He has lost faith
in no one of its principles and will
not listen to the abandonment of
any of its planks. AS for the gold
Democrats who left the party in
1896 he is willing to welcome them
back, but the union must be on the
Chicago platform and nowhere else.
This is perfectly consistent Its
justice will be acknowledged by
the most bitter political opponent
of Mr.. Bryan. AS he said in New
York city Saturday evening: "a
man cannot be political bigamist.
He cannot be welded to the name
of ono purity and to the principles
OF another party. All that we con-
tend for is that those who deserted
us in 1896 shall divorce themselves
either from our party name or from
the political principles of opposing
parties"
There is stern logic as we'll as
political consistency in this atti-
tude of Mr.. Bryan, and the men
who are trying to reach any other
conclusion than this will find it a
hopeless task.

tor j. M. Hensley and Mr.. Geo.
Newton, of Hartford, were down
here Tuesday, looking over the
ground with view to moving
their planning mill to this place
and organizing joint stock COM
pany to operate it. About all they
ask of the Board of Trade or the
Town Council is free site some
where near the Ohio River or K.
& M, Railways. The Board of
Trade surely ought to be able to
furnish the grounds free, neces-
sary to hold the buildings and
make yard room for this planning
mill. We hope the Board of Trade
will set to work at once to secure
the grounds and induce Senator
Hensley and Mr.. Newton to move
their planning mill to this place.
They have we'll equipped mill,
and located here would do good
business, and be of great benefit to
the town. Let tho Board of Trade
move in this matter and move

Isn,tit About Time.


great American nation was aban-
doning the "infant industry" idea
and worship of the high protective
tariff fetch, when we are under
selling Free Trade England right
on her own ground? It is motor
ious that our high tariff system, as
it now exists, is for nothing on earth
but the benefit of the giant trusts
and industrial combinations now
sapping the life of American in
dustry and, by paralyzing individ-
ual effort, rapidly dividing the
American people into two great
classes-masters and slaves.
!, Word comes that American man
facturers are selling goods in sue
cessful competition with English
manufacturers right in Wales.
Coming on top of the awarding
of the Egyptian Atbara bridge con-
tract to an American firm this is
significant, and it cannot be charged
as it was in that instance, that I'M
due influence was brought to bear
in favor of the Americans, because
in Wales it is simply competition
in open market, the people of
Wales expressing a preference for
the output of American manufac-
turers over that of the British. In
the case in point there was COM
petitive struggle for the construc-
ton of five locomotives for the
Barry Railway of Wales. Bids
were submitted and the Americans
captured the contract.
This is rather tough on John
Bull-beaten right at his own door
by American enterprise through
cheaper and better American goods
against which he has the protection
of the ocean freight!
After this let us hear no more
blather from the trust organs and
administration politicians Euro
pean-especially British-"pau-
per" labor. Pretty soon we shall
have John Bull demanding protec-
tion against the "pauper. labor of
America"
High protection now survives
simply as a bunco game for the
benefit of the multi-millionaire
trust contributors to the Hanna
cratic campaign fund. 1t has be-
come simply LOCALIZED robbery of
the American people and legiti.
mate American industry. The pro-
tected trusts, while 'throttling
healthy competition at homo,
charge American consumers under
cover of the tariff, usually double
the prices they charge foreigners
in foreign markets. This thing
should stop. Is it not high time?
