John P. Altgeld on Trusts.

Ex-Governor Altgeld spoke of trusts as fol-
lows, the other day. at Democratic meeting
in Kentucky:
For quarter of a century, both political
parties have denounced corporations, trusts and
monpolies Nearly every state in the Union
has legislated against them. The federal gov
ernment has legislated against them Yet, in
spite of this denuncation, they have gone on
multiplying. State legislation has been found
to be absolutely futile, because federal Judges
uniformly declared it to be unconstitutional.
Federal legislation has likewise been found to
be futile. The trusts are masters of the situa-
ton. 1t is evident that to simply 90 on de.
nouncing trusts is an insult to the intelligence
OF the American people. They have come to
stay, and, therefore, it is the mission and the
duty of the Democratic party to secure the ben
eft OF the monopoly for the public-for the
people That means municipal and govern
ment ownership of all monopolies which it is
practicable for the government as yet to con-
troll. That politician makes mistake who
thinks that by a mere denunciation of trusts
you can fool great number of Democ1ats in
1900. The people want to know what we pro-
pose to do about it,

Too Much Gold.

And now it appears that the money lords are
beginning to fear that gold will become too
plentiful.
The Minneapolis Tribune recently gave sta
tistics showing the large increase in the pro-
duction of "the precious metal in the past
two or three years, and closed with these sig
nifcant words:
"These figures, however, have more that
local or national interest Such an enormous
increase in the worlds gold production cannot
go on tor many years without bringing about
important changes in the relative values of
money and property. We are probably on the
eve OF an era of rising values if labor and ag-
rcultural and mechanical products continue to
be measured by gold"
The ''if" indicates that the "fnanciers' "
money policy may change, provided they find
that the laboring classes have any possible
prospect Of paying their debts under the gold
standard.
l do not believe the increase in the produc-
tion of gold will be sufficient to reduce the
purchasing power of dollar to the standard of
thirty years ago, but the Tribune's statement
shows how quick the gold power is TO recognize
a possible prospect of its losing its deadly grip
on the producer Coming Nation.

WHEN Leedy was governor, he spent the
contingent fund allowed him in paying the ex-
penses of uphoding the statutes the corpora
tions were attacking. Governor Stanley is
spending his in helping the corporations who
are trying to nvalidate the laws of the state
notably in one instance where he paid Jas, A.
Troutman for services in securing the removal
of McNal as superintendent of insurance. 1t
was also understood at Topeka that the gov
ernor was paying the expenses of the attorneys
who are aiding the attorney-general in trying
to nave the special session declared unconstitu-
tional, out of the contingent fund. At that
session, laws were passed in the interest of the
people which were obnoxious to the corpora
tions. So, while Governor Leedy helped the
people fight the corporations, Governor Stanley
has been helping ihe corporations fight the
people, and using the peoples money to do it,
Which do you approve? There is one little
consolation, however. Stanley's contingent
fund for this year, at least, is already exhaust
ed. When appealed to by the asylum commit
tee to pay their bills in excess of the appropri-
alton, he processes to be strapped. It's a pretty
good test of goyernor-the way in which he
expends his contingent fund. Measured by
that test, Stanley is the tool of the corpora
tons, and the enemy of the plain common
people.-Kansas Populist.

THK unprecedented success of Congressman
Henderson has emboldened the West, and there
is strong talk of nominating Senator Thurson,
of Nebraska for vice president 1t is well
known that ii the Republican ticket is elected
next time, it will have to be by recla1mng
Western votes. Kansas ought to be in line
with the national administration, but the only
way to do so is to do whai Kansas Republicans
want, First and foremost, there must be anti
trust legislation before the next eection then
there must be candidates nominated in whom
the people have confidence. The people are
Cordially in line with McKinlcy, but they do
not recognize Hobart as a force at all. HIS re-
nomination would be taken as panderng to the
trusts-To THE SAME INTERESTS THAT SECURED
HIS NOMINATION IN THE FIRST PLACE.-Law'
renee World.
So Hobart secured his nomination through
the efforts of the trusts, did he? We knew he
did, of course, but did not expect that a Re-
publican paper would have the honesty to ad-
nit it, If the World would be wholly honest,
it would admit that the trust Interests also Sc
cured McKinley's nomination 1t would be
foolish to deny it, for every intelligent person
knows this to be true. The trusts not only Sc
cured the nomination of Mckinley and Hobart,
but they furnished the campaign fund One
sof their members-Mark Hanna-also managed
the campaign. He will also manage the cam-
paien of 1900. He is still member OF sew
eral big trusts-the head of the coal trust-and
he will be in 1900. Does any sane person be-
lieve he will work against his own interests!
The same interests that secured McK1nley's
nomination in 90 will secure it in 1900. We
believe they will turn Hobart down; or, rather,
he will not really be candidate. OF course,
his name will be presented to the convention
that will be part of the game to tool the peo-
ple-but he will Gin all PROBABILITY be defeated,
because it is necessary to fool the people some
more, and some other man, not quite SO proml-
ncnt in trust circles, will be nominated The
whole thing is already cut and dried. Tue
nomination OF Thurston would prove this he
is millionaire railroad magnate, and his trust
interests are by means small, Though ne Is
not quite as promn snt, or well known, IN that
respect (possibly), as Hobart The nomination
of Mckinley and Thurston would be no less
trust ticket than Mckinley and Hobart.

Fifteen Months AGO

The president, in his message to congress on
April II, IS98-referring to Cuba-said
"I speak not of forcibe ann exation, for that

THERE is going 10 be hard and determined
battle against the trusts next year, and the
trusts have the advantage. Even now, subsi-
died papers are talking loudly about trusts not
hurting business. In few months, they will
be a positive blessing. This will go in the
East. The factories have not been closed
there. TO the East the trust is not danger

ern factories are being closed as fast as the
trust gets to them. The West is where the
suffering and the loss is found. The platform
of all parties must be directed to the West, and
the East will be found working for them

Now COMES Bowersock to the FORE damning
trusts with bad pen. To those whose ignor-
ance is not enlightened as to the existence of
Bowersock, let it be known that he was, until
recently, a nail and wire manufacturer of this
state, and, through the misplaced confidence of
a majority OF voters in his district, he was
elected to congress last year, as Republican.
Bowersock promised his men higher wages and
continuous prosperity before Mckinley was
elected. The works have since been shut
down and the men thrown out of employment.
Reason? Bowersock sold out to the wire and
nail trust at an enormous valuation and for a
bonus in the shape of $4,000 year for acting
as vice president of that concern. Now you
have some knowledge Of Bowersock, Repub-
lcan antitrust champion-just the kind of an
antitrust champion to fit in with Republican
antitrust plank. Jerry Simpsons Bayonet.

Oh, yes; the Ohio Republican convention
put an antitrust plank in its platform. 1t

GOVERNOR PINGREE hotly criticised the
Michigan legislature for its failure to carry out
peoples wishes. Among other things, he says:
"This legislature has passed no laws to equal
;ze the burden of taxation and make corporate
and other property pay its share of taxes. 1t
was elected for the purpose of passing laws to
eoualize assessments and taxes and to make
railroads and other corporations pay as much
taxes in proportion the farmer and other
small property-owners. II has failed utterly to
carry out the wishes of the people in this re-
spect The tax -dodger has either controlled or
obstructed legislation. His interests have been
carefully protected" The Governor also says
the Republican platform promises have been
utterly ignored. Speaking of Michigan's vol
nnteers, he says: eff this Republican legisla-
lure cannot afford to make the pay OF Mchigan's
volunteers in the Spanish American war at
/, asst ST. per day. it certainly should not tax the
soldiers modest home for the purpose OF ras-

then taught school several years, at
Bellevue and Cottage Grove. He
began reading law in 1872, and was
admitted to the bar in fall Of 1876.
In 1876 he held his first official posi-.
tion, being elected by the Police Jury
Parish Attorney.
In June, 1876, he married Miss
Bette Eubank, q native of Texas, she
being at the time Principal of the
Bellevue Academy. They lived hap
PLY together until he received his
summons to crosa the "great divide. :"
No children blessed their union;
though Mr.. Lowry had no children
of his own, he reared, educated and
provided for two sets Of orphaned
nephews and neices, all of whom are
living and love to honor and revere
his memory.
He was elected District Attorney
for End District, composed Of Bossier,
Bienvile and Webster, in 1880, and
held the position twelve consecutive
years He was sent to the State SEN
ate, in 1896, to represent the Senate
rial District composed Of Bossier,
Webster, Bienville and Claiborne, his
term not expiring until April, 1900.
At his death he was Secretary Of
School Board and Superintendent Of
Parish Schools, which position he
occupied for about for about six OF
seven years, and was highly esteemed
by the Board and greatly loved by all
the teachers for his many amiable
qualities.
Mr.. Lowry was made a member OF
A. F. and A. NJ. in Bellevue Lodge,
No. IS, and afterward moved his
membership to Cypress Lodge, No.
80, at Benton, La, of which he was
W. NJ at the time of his death. He
also filed the position Of w. N. OF
Bellevue Lodge No. So, for series OF
years. He joined the K. of p, and
held several official positions, includ-
ing that Of Chancellor Commander,
and the A. l. of a., in which he also
reached the highest position. He
belonged to the L o. o. F., and was
the first Noble Grand Of Benton
Lodge.
Gus Lowry, as his intimates usual
ly called him, and Lowry that the
writer Familiarity dubbed him, was
truly q good man in the truest sense
Of the word; he was one Of natures
noblemen. He has often told me that
he studied to please and how to avoid
hurting any ones feelings unneces.
sarily. And well did he succeed, 70,
he would not wound the sensibilitJ
of the most humble individual, il
avoidable. Even during his term Of
twelve years as District Attorney, he
was always considerate Of the feelings
Of the poorest creature that his duties
caused him to prosecute; yet he made
as vigorous prosecution, under the
law, as the record demanded, and al.
ways made a. many convictions as the
best Of attorneys. The criminals b
convicted would always say that Mr.
Lowry accorded them q fair and i'm.
partial trial
It is true that he had some vices
and foibles, but his virtues *
completely overshadowed all his shor,
oomings, that his faults were thereby
minimized. Often have I felt thu
benign influence Of his equable tenn
per and genial disposition. He couli
not harbor an ungenerous feeling
even for those who ill.treated him
being ever Of q forgiving and forget
ting nature.
