At the st. Louis meeting of gov

comparative analysis Of the speeches
made at the Chicago trust conference
by William ]. Bryan and W. Bourke
Cochran. Some Of his deductions We're
as follows:
"Cockran placed the dollar above the
man-that is. such is the logical out
come of his reasoning and his position.
Bryan placed the man above the dol
view. Mr.. Cochran is undoubtedly an
orator. The trust could hardly have
chosen a more effective champion. He
held his audience sNellbound and
charmed by the beauty of his diction.
CIc could not have condemned bad cor.
pOrate management in more Scathing
terms than he did. lie threw bouquets
at the lahOring men. This was done
with a purpose. 1t is evidently the
plan of the trusts. first. to make labor
ing lei believe their OWL salvation is
in Il fostering of the trust. and. second.
to intimidate them or modify their
zeal by claiming that labor unions are,
in fact. trusts and that warfare or
trusts Is warfare on labor unions. !

TRUSTS AND SOCIETY,".
Gloomy Outlook For the Home Under
Domination of Ombine


Whatever estimate II may enter
tain Of Governor pingrce as politician
or economist. there is no gainsayinS
the fact that be sometimes voices sen
timents which are in Il host of una
hearts which only lack the power to
give them such clear expression. IN
his address at the Chicago conference,
after observing that in all that has
been said about trusts there has been
scarcely n word from the standpoint OF
their effect on society, he dwelt upon
the problem Of the trust as it relates
to the middle class, the individual bust
ness man and the skilled artisan and
mechanic:
1.-The independent individual business
man nus enter the employment of the
trust. Self preservation compcls it.
Duty to his family forces him to it.
He becomes an employee instead of an
employer. His trusted foreman and
his employees must follow him. They
have been in close and daily associa-
ton with him. The new order of
things compels them to separate. They
are DOCn 10 become Il part Vi tle |aSl
Industrial army. with no hopes and no
aspirations"
This is where the trusts assist to fill
the breasts of men and women, ia
theirs and mothers. with gloomy fore
holdings when they look upon their lit
tie children and realize how swiftly
and surely the opportunities Of this
generation are passing away, and
which formerly We're open for all ener-
gy and talent to achieve success. With
the new the sphere promises to be so
narrowed that only subordination and
drudgery may be in store for those
not favored with exceptional advan-
tages. Whether it was demagOgism or
not. Governor Pingrec surely struck Il
popular chord when in conclusion he
said:
Il care more for the independence
and manliness of the American citizen
than for all the gold and silver in the
world. 1t is better to cherish the hap
piness Of the American home than to
control the N Of the globe."-
Buffalo Courier.

The trust question is neither as pro-
found nor as complicated a question
as some great Republican lights would
like to make appear, that a long suffer
ing people nay be led to temporiZe
with the question and to compromise
upon it. to the chief advantage Of the
trusts. which furnish barrels Of cam
paign money. The simple truth is that
the trusts are a necessary and unavoida-
BILE outgrowth Of the tariff and the
gold standard. and the remedy is GER
tainly not government control Of the
trusts. with government discrimination
regarding them and government re-
s%trictions, Of them. by a party under
whose policy they have grown up and
flourished amazingly thus far and
which party has been the beneficiary
Of the trusts in great national cleo
lions. The only remedy that will
reach the root Of the. matter is one
that will remove the protective tariff
and the reign Of gold. which are the
chief monopolies and which mother"
and nurse all the others. And no par
ty but the Democratic party proposes
to apply this remedy. The nations IN
ly salvation from the trusts depends
on that party.-Danville Qlls.l Press.

Gage Manipulates the Money Supply.

A useful illustration Of how the
law can be mis-handled is found in
Secretary Cages conduct of the
Treasury Department. Some
six months ago he concluded that
he had no power to issue any more
gold certificates. The New York
bankers and spectators happened
to want the treasury to take care
of their gold free of charge, SO
they twisted Gage out of his un.
willingness in about three days
and got all the gold certificates
they wanted. With every evidence
in front of hun there would be a
heavy demand this fall for silver
coin, fractional currency and small
bills he made no provision to meet
the emergency, and is now hiding
behing a lot Of petty, hair splitting
legal subterfuges to explain his
failure. Congress at the last ses-
sion provided for the coinage Of
silver bullion in the treasury, but
Secretary Gage is is too hostile to
silver to carry out the plain intent
of the law. He has violated the
law. He has violated the civil
service in a score Of ways and in
hundreds Of instances, but h.
stands appalled, at doing anything
to provide the currency which the
farmers, workmen and small trad
ers need. He advanced the pay
ment Of the October interest on
bonds nearly a month without any
legal authority in order to relieve
a stringency in Wall street, but
refuses to withdraw the bills Of
large denominations and replace
them with the small notes which

A Gold Standard Object Lesson.

va ONJNNN ASSSSA
The gold standard is a breeder
Of panics, truthfully remarks the
Omaha World Herald. In times
of fair weather it holds values and
natural prices low and in days of
storm and stress it DESTROYS them.
Gold, as the sole money Of ulti-
mate redemption, is t~reacherous,
untaithful, and the dread foe Of
producer and dealer alike. Those
who speak Of the gold standard as
a "sound financial policy, who
are wont to prate unthinkingIy Of
gold as "safe and honest money!"
will do we'll to turn their attention
to tn" present panicky condition
of England under a gold standard
when war threatens in the Trans
vaal country.
Monday the New York Times
published a financial cablegram
from London which is instructive
and significant. 1t says:
Last week was one Of great
tension and excitement, destruc-
tive to business
And whence comes this tension
and excitement so destructive to
business? The cablegram says;
"Still gold flows away. More
than e. 900, 900 have already
gone to the Cape and the real sur
plus of metal over liability notes
in circulation is now under 46,ooo-
900. We cannot now spare
gold from the Bank Of England.
Should a South African war come
as is now almost certain, all we
could spare Or scrape would be re-
quired for it, and should other for
eign demends spring upon us, a
credit smash is almost a matter Of
days."
And this from England, the very
home of the gold standard! This
confession from the very shadow
of Lombard street, the gold stor-
age house Of all the nations!
Gold alone a safe and stable
currency, did you say? Can sta
bility be predicted Of that money
metal whose treachery, at the ear
liest intimation Of a demand for it
larger than usual, is ominous Of
panic and failure and commercial
disaster? Is that "sound money!"
The worlds supply of gold is linn
tied. While the available stock
is susceptible Of little and insignif-
cant increase, it is liable to sudden
and startling diminution. And
and what makes matters worse is
that always in times of emergency,
when the demand for gold i~ncreas-
es in jumps end bounds, the sup
ply decreases in a proportionate ra-
ito. The demand diminishes the
available supply. Gold is hoard
ed in bank vaults when 1t is most
needed, and the inevitable result
is disaster.
The civilized world under the
gold standard is confronted with a
danger as grave as it is imminent
mot local, but universal. Even
IN England war means financial
and commercial disaster because
gold deserts her at the critical mo.
ment, and at once the hardship Of

After waiting a year and a half
President Mckinley has finally ar
rived at the conclusion that Capt.
Oberlin M. Carter ought to be pun
ished for stealing $1,000, 900 from
the government during the late
war. Carter will get five years in
the penitentiary and a fine of
$4,000. The payment of the fine
will come easy, but from what we
can learn it is against his pr,nci-
pies to work. If he had been
