THE TRUSTS

The attention which Bryan 10 Civ
ing the trusts has aroused a public
which is not confined to his
own party. Senator Washbu1n Of
Minneapolis. n of the leaders Of the
party, has this to say re-
garding the trusts and the manner in
which they are throttlins the life out
Of the country:
The present situation to the
good citizen, the good Republican
and the man who loves his coun-
try is really alarming, and it is
more largely owing to the rapid
formation of what is called the
trust than to any other agency.
First. the trust craze has chang
ed the whole nature OF doing
thin g. When | was a young man
II am now 6S-I had the world
before me and there was absolute
ly a fail field for me. Take all of
OR most successful business men
of today and their experiences
were like mine. They entered the
race without a handicap, and their
grit and capacity won. Now this
building up Of trusts puts a stop
to fair and equal opportunities for
the young men Of today. The
young man just out of college has
no opening. AS a rule, he cannot
begin business on his own account
against organized capital. He
must join the procession. He must
content himself with being a mere
clerk, ani the chances are that be
will never get any further, because
there are SO many in his class
This makes the situation a seriou:
one, aud | am sorry for the younE
man of today. I've studied tn,
situation and | am sure Of what
am saying.
Mr.. Washburu declared that til,
almost universal over-capitallzatioi
Of trusts and the manipulation c
prices to reduce exorbitant profit
must eventually result in a genera
collapse. He added;
There is one thing that great,
disturbs me. The Republica.
party, whether Justly or unjustly
is associated with trusts in tn
minds Of the masses. AS a part
we have reached a crisis where W
have got to call a halt. The Re-
publican party has got to discon

in vain to-day to secure a continuance
of the case of e. Rollins Morse against
the Montana Ore Purchasing company
AS predicted in to-day's Standard,
motion for continuance was made,
but It was overruled. When the case
was called this morning the defense
asked permission to file a plea in
abatement This was overruled. The

counsel asked for a continuance, filing
the affidavit OF A. P. HeinZe secretary

was in no position to go to trial, al
legng among other things that the
plea in abatement which had been
stricken out contained certain matters

jury what the defense proposed to
show. illustrating his remarks by aid

hoped that the members of the jury
would be very discreet He referred
to a famous mining case in Idaho in
which new trial was granted because
the jury in visiting the property, had
accepted the hospitality Of one of the
parties to the action in the shape Of Il

Case.

flee made public It's decision upon the
protest of T. C. Power, A NJ. Hotter and
others against the classification by the
board Of mineral land commissioners OF
certain lands in Deer Lodge county, at
the western portal of the Mullan tunnel.
The board of mineral land commissioners
held that the land was non-mineral in
character, therefore as it was in the land
grant of the Northern Pacific, it be ong-
ed to the company. From this finding of
the board A. NJ. Hotter, T. c. Power and
other Helena citizens contested the clas-
sification. alleging that the land was
mineral in character, and should there
fore be exempted from the grant. This
contest resulted in the case of A. NJ
Hotter, T. c. Power and others against
the non-nineral classification of certain
unsurvoyed lands which was heard by
the Helena land office Nov. IT, 1898. A
large amount of testimony was taken as
to whether the land was mineral or nom
mineral in character The Helena land
office, after an exhaustive examination of
the evidence, decides that it is non-min-
eral, and that the classification of the
mineral land commissioners should be
upheld. The protestants will appeal to
the commissioner of the general land
office.
