IT is rather amusing to hear some
of the republican leaders trying to
make people believe their party is OPP
posed to trusts. As the Freeport Bull
letin says: The records of the last
congress show that the democrats
offered an amendment to the Dingley
bill putting on the free list all manu-
featured articles affected by the trusts
and the republican congressman voted
it down. Then. again. there was not
a trust in 1896 that did not support
Mr.. Mckinley and contribute largely
to the republican campaign. We will
venture the assertion that every trust
in existence in this country will in
1900 support the republican president
and president The republican
party is controlled by men who are at
the head of these gigantic trusts
hence it is powerless to oppose them.
To the democratic party must the
people look for rescue. The most eff
fective way to fight the trusts is to re-
move the cause

portation of Chinese coolies. Portu-
guese contract laborers and finally of
Japanese. The toilers were bound to
force labor by their contracts. The
coolie system has very little to COM
mend it over the slave system as
practiced in southern states before the
civil war. In some circumstances it
may easily be worse, since the planter.
who merely hires slaves from a foreign
contractor, has less interest in their
well being than had the former plant
ers, who owned them. The United
States must now face the question
whether il will permit the system to
continue in Hawaii.

Not Fit to Live.

W. J. Bryan
mo man who wants quiet at home,
when at night he reaches home and
gathers his family about him say
no man who wants quiet at home, can
disregard what is going on outside.
You don't want the streets filled by
angry and hungry men, and you don't
want them to think that your wealth
has been accumulated as the result of
unjust laws. More than that, lite is
but span; we are only here for a
short time. Are you merely strug-
Cling to gather together money to look
Mt while you live, or have YOU some
thing greater than that? If you have
no higher ambition than the accumu-
lation of money. you are not fit to live
as a man made in the image of God. :"

Taking the Back Track.

When Mr.. Hanna permitted the
Ohio convention to declare against
trusts it was accepted in trust
circles to be meaningless and
deceptive declaration. But quite q
good many republican newspapers
believed that the war cry was to be
antitrust" because Hanna had Civ
en- it his Endorsement, and they began
showing up the industrial com bines
vigorously The leaders were quick
to see the danger there was in letting
the rank and file take the Ohio
antitrust declaration seriously. and
lively work is now being done TO pre-
vent any thing of that kind happening.

Neither can poor, weak, thin blood

naval ofncers. great as is their Akill In

guns. know almost nothing OF har bors.

sion. perhaps. explains why the Aneri-
