SELL THEIR WIVES.

oetter halVeS Can be Purchased or

From the Philadelphia Times.
Startling reports regarding the ex-
tent of the wife-selling traffic of the
klondike country Is the sensation of
Vancouver. That a man can get a
buxom, dark-eyed wife for fifty blank
cts would seem a sort of fairy story
were not the facts SO serious
Robert Stead Dun, graduate OF
Harvard, and formerly editor of the
Harvard Monthly, has just returned to
civilization after 1,50O-mile trip by
the Edmonton overland trail to the
londike.
1t was here at Fort Graham that Mr..
Dun discovered the polygamous condi-
ton of society and the widespread
trafticking in young women. He found
that nearly all the clerks and employees
had no difficulty in buying wives. And
they bought them.
Sparkling Eyes, noted Indian belle
and the daughter of a prominent chief,
was considered the prize of the north
west. From far and near came offers
for her hand. Ponies, guns, trinkets,
brass watches, yards of tinfoil and
bales of copper wire We're offered for
quit claim deed to the maiden's heart.
But the grim old warrior was not to
be caught by any ordinary purchaser.
He wanted something besides personal
property. He was ambitious for a fam
lily alliance with some man of social
standing and influence in the commun-
ity.
Thus it was that when Factor Fox,
big medicine man, superintendent
of white faced employees, made over
lures, with due ceremony and elabor-
ate array of technicalitles, involving
the highest etiquette of the land, the
copper -colored chieftain Immediately
became an eager party to the negotia-
tions.
Then Factor Fox took the girl to his
cabin, decked her out In beads and
gorgeous trappings, with yellow hand
kerchief for her head, purple scarfs for
her neck, resplendent brass rings for
her ears and fingers and a peck of
fiashy big-headed pins for other fea-
lures of her adornment.
She modestly appreciated her exalt-
ed position in the new life, and al
though she did not seek to ostenta-
tiously queen 1t over the employees of
the factory, yet she has an air of au-
thority and self-possession that won
her the respect of the boys of the ret
tlement.
The old Indian chief must have pick
ed up some new noints from the whites.

Il is clearly seen that on the
imperative issue Of firm and
united stand against the trust evil
the democracy of the entire coun-
try is compact in its unanimity OF
sentiment. This welding together
Of the trusts themselves, whose re-
cent tremendous growth and vast
arrogance Of immunity from the
law has caused a full recognition
Of the danger confronting the coun.
try. There will be no abatement
Of the antitrust sentiment until
the people shall have been made
safe from the oppression of mo-
nopolies and combines.
This safety will come through
the democratic party, legitimately
arrayed in behalf Of the people
against the trusts. The war now
fairly begun contains no menace to
any legitimate business ur indus

which enslaye and destroy leglti-

such a,war will mean the liberation
Of commerce and industry from

the trusts. This victory will be
won by the people. lei by The
democratic party, and it will be q
victory in which sectionalism will
