REIGN OF TRUSTS.
Ruin for the People VIII Result from
the Triumph of MOnop-
Olists.

independent enterprises are bein g
crushed out of existence by the trusts.
Small business concerns must go to the
wall and labor must accept the dole of
charity or starve if the reign of the
trusts is allowed to continue.
Some republican editors are begin
ming to recognize the danger which
threatens the people from the opera
tons of the combines, but the repub-
lean party is bound hand and foot by
the trusts and protests are unavailing.
The Springfield (Mass.) Republican
sees the condition of affairs and COM
ments as follows:
What of the general industrial effect OF
this? Every trust that has been formed has
closed some factories and discharged some
wage labor, and people have talked of it as
baneful influence of consolidation and
monopoly. And what, then, of the trust
when it begins to add commercial travellers
to the army of the unemployed, and then
other salaried or commission agents, and
then merchants-among the very main
stays of the existing industrial and social
fabricT'
This question contains its own an
swer When the mainstays of the ex-
listing social fabric are added to the
army of the unemployed the social
fabric viii tumble to fragments and
commercial chaos will follow.
Ruin for the people will be the re-
suit of the complete triumph of the
trusts, and with this disaster will come
the destruction of the combines. The
democrats wish to prevent this sort OF
revolution, but the republicans are do
ing all in their power to bring it to
pass.-Chicago Democrat.

FALLING PRICES.
They Are an Injustice to the Pro-
ducer-AgriculturaI Glass
Hit Hardest.

The gold men say that low prices arr
not an evil. That may or may not be
true, but falling prices are an evil al
ways, for they not only increase bur-
dens but they impede production
and imperil business enterprise. More
over, low prices are an evil, il with
low prices debts are to be paid which
were created when prices were high,
for then earnings are unjustly taken
from those who are entitled to them
and turned over to those who have no
right to them. 1t is often claimed.
too, that when prices fall, what one
buys costs less, and therefore no one
is hurt. But, in the first place, debts
and taxes and many other things do
not change with prices, and conse-
quently more of everything is required
10 pay the same debts, taxes and many
other things, after prices have fallen.
Again, things do not go down evenly.
Products go first, professional services.
cost of education and things that can
be controlled by monopolies, follow
slowly. Then, again, producers sell in
the wholesale market and buy in the
retail market; and prices in the retail
market often remain up long after
wholesale prices have gone down.
Hence, in any view of the question, fall
ing prices work injustice to all pro-
ducers. and most of all. perhaps, to the
great agricultural class.-A. j. War

Here is matrimonial advertisement
that is hard to take seriously. 4 lady
who calls herself Hosuijoshi seeks a

comes from gentleman who signs
himself Ariwara Mitsunji. whose ad-
vertisement runs AS follows: Il am the
greatest genius of the present time

WHAT IS INVOLVED?
The Price OF Labor and All Comm, o di-
ties Under Control of the
Capitalists.

What is involved in the control of
the money of country? What power
does the possessor of that right WELD ?
James A. Garfield simply reduced to
an axiom Il well-known principle of
economics when he said: Whoever
has control of the money of a coun-
try has absolute control of its trade
and commerce." So that the question
of free silver and the issue of green
backs involves the control of the trade
and commerce of the country, does il :?
Do you know of any reform which
would benefit the 75.000.000 Ameri-
cans SO much as would the taking of
the control of their trade and COM
1nerce out of the hands of the Roths-
childs. citizens of alien and competi-
tive nations, and placing it in their
own hands? But in controlling the
money how can they control the trade
and commerce? Simply by making
money plenty, or by making ii scarce!
They can issue $50 per capita. and in-
augurate boom and an era of wild
speculation. and can suddenly contract
it to SIT and bankrupt hundreds of
thousands. We had an illustration of
that once. We had $50 per capita at
the close of 1867, and we had SIT per
capita when 1873 was ushered in. The
government did it then, for the gov
ernment then had control of the money.
But the government did it all at the
dictation of the men who are now ask
ing US to give them the same power the
government then had. Whoever con-
~ x>F, L.
ton can fix the price of labor, and
every product of labor; for the price
of labor, as we'll as of all commodities,
is determined by the amount of money
there is to exchange for it. If there
were but 1000 bushels of wheat in the
market. and but $500 to invest in it,
it must sell for so cents per bushel. Ex-
tend this principle to as many articles
and as much money as you may and it
holds good for it is a law

fourteen ships were sunk and almost

When day dawned land was Wis

PRESS COMMENTS.

SECRETARY Alger said he was go-
ing to Cuba to get away from official
duties. If he would only stay away
from official duties what blessing it
would be!-Utica Observer.
"A Maryland iron company is
about shipping 1000 tons of steel rails
to Scotland. Another concern in the
state has a contract for 5000 tons for
Australia. And yet the wonderful
Dingley tariff puts duty of seven dol
lars ton on rails to protect American
manufacturers!"-N Y World.

tors of republican papers, who were
pointing with pride" last year to dol
lar wheat as the consequence of Nc
kinleyism and Dinleyism. are maintain
ing a silence now, with wheat at IS
cents. that commands intense admira-
ton for their discretion.-St Paul
Globe.
This is the big-heartedest and
most generous government that ever
happened. 1t has given the Cuban
army $4,000, 900 to quit loafing. and it
will soon pay over to Spain nearly seven
times that amount for allowing it to
have the pleasure of lambasting a job
lot of cocoanut-headed Filipinos.-St.
Louis Republic.
The ostentatious way that SEN
ator Mark Hanna carried off President
Mckinley to Thomasville, Ga, is not at
all pleasing to republicans. They feel
that they are getting too much Hanna,
and the fact of that ponderous and self
asserting patriot amounting to more
than the entire cabinet is creating un-
easiness. The heads of the state, war
and navy departments are just noa cut
off from presidential consultation, but
Hanna is on deck, with sort of SUPER
visory power over all departments.-

THE advocates of q policy of i'm
perialism base it upon motives of piety,
profits and patriotism, but the benefits
under any of these heads are problem
atical. How many young Americans
shall we ruin in constitution and mor-
ais for each heather convert we shall
make? At present in the Philippines
we are killing off the Christian natives
much faster than we convert their can
nibal neighbors. AS respects their COM
mercial profits, it is to be borne in mind
that in the last ten years the Philippine
islanders have bought of as on the av-
erage $10O, 900 worth of merchandise q

RED WHISk ERS A SURE GUARD.

There is only one kind of a guy safe

think of skinning a come on with red
whiskers than l would of waikin' up right
now and givin' myself up for somethin' I
did 20 years ago. Now you minght think
it funny. but it goes. and you show me
one of the gang willin' to do business
with a fellow with = bunch of red grass
on his chin and I'll show you a bunch
of trouble. l don't know how it hap
pens. but it is what some guys call an
unwritten rule to never do business with
a fellow with red whiskers. I've been
in the business of lookin' for the best Of
it for over 20 years. When l first start
| ed out / was told to look out for the red
fwhiskered guys and always pass them
up. The reason given was you can al
ways get away with a skin with anybody
without a kick except a sucker with red
! whiskers who viii! tell the police nine
times out of ten. I needed he warning,
and although I've steered for the bunk
| sent for the green goods and framed
the big mitt' I've never tried to pick up a
sucker with red whiskers. Whenever any
of the gang has fallen by the wayside I've
always made ~ my business to ind out
what the 'squawker' looked like and near
ly every time Ia was a guy with red
whiskers. Ask any OF the gang. and
they'll tell you I'm right" :
