FOR DEMOCRACY.

In the popular approval Of the
addresses Of Bryan, Governor
Stone and Other leaders of the
democratic party at Dallas, Tazaa
last week there is renewed proof
of the clearness of the national
democracy's policy on the leading
issues of the day and it's closeness
to the sentiment of the people.
More than ever it is becoming
apparent that Americans are
drawing q significant line of dis.
tinction to prevail in thu presi
DENTAL campaign Of 1900. On
one side Of this line are arrayed
the people and the democratic
party On the other side stand
the trusts, imperiaIists and the
republican party. The result Of
the crrapaign must mean either

continued domination of the ex-
pansionists trusts. And the peo-
pie are fully awake to this truth.
No amount of republican argu-
ment will convince the people that
the republican party stands IN
any degree for the American
masses when every genuine ex-
preston and every decisive act of
republicanism is for the benefit of
the privileged class which is now
beneftting by private monopoly
by combinations of syndicate capt.
tai fostered and protected by re-
publicanism. Mark Hanna fifty
typifes the republican party as it
now figures in popular estimation
the worshipper and the instru-
ment of rlutocrats in the oppres-
sion of common people.
The Dallas reunion has accom-
plished great work in still more
clearly emphasizing the alignment
of forces for the fight in 1900. 1t
has sounded the keynote of the
struggle. 1t will have rightful
clam to a full share of glory for
democratic victory next November.
Courier Democrat. (Langdon, N.D.) 1891-1920, 1899-10-12
BRIAN on TRUSTS.

Monopoly in private hands is
indefensible from any standpoint.
There can be no good monopoly
in private hands until the AL
mighty sends US angels to preside
over us.
Even if under monopoly the
price of an article is reduced, the
objection to monopoly from
other standpoints far outweigh the
financial advantage that the trust
would bring.
L want to warn you that when
the monopoly has absolute control
brains will be at discount. We
have not had yet a taste of a
complete trust.
But when the trust has rid
itself of all competitors what is
going to be the result? My
friends, all you have to know is
human nature.
When a branch Of industry is
entirely in the hands of one great
monopoly, SO that every skilled
man in that industry has to go to
the one man for employment, that
one man will fix wages as lie
pleases and the laboring man will
shape the sufferings of the man
who sells the raw material.
Falling prices caused by a
rising dollar and the high tariff,
have contributed to the desire to
secure the fruits of monopoly.
I do not believe you could
destroy trusts by putting all trust
made articles on the free list, be-
cause if an article can be produced
in this country as cheaply as
abroad, then the trust could exist
without the benefit of any tariff,
although it could not extort SO
much.
In our taxation we have been
imposing upon the great struggl.
ing masses the burdens of govern
ment, while we have been voting
the privileges to the people who
will not pay their share Of the
expenses OF the government.
In my Judgment, when you take
from monopoly the power to issue
watered stock you will 60 more
than half way toward destroying
monopoly in the United States.
You can provide for publicity at
such times as the corporation
shall make returns of it's business
and go another long step toward
the destruction Of the principle of
monopoly.

WORK OF A FIEND.
Property Near Langdon Worth $4,000 Burned
Sunday Morning.

Fire of an incendiary origin destroyed
farm property to the value of $1,000 at
an early hour Sunday morning. The
losers are Messrs. Peter Olson, G. W.
Clarke and NJ. L. Sullivan, the property
being located south Of town, all within
radius of two and one half miles.
At the Olson farm it was about four
o'clock when the family we're awakened
by flames rejecting on their bed room
windows and got up to find the stable
mass of flames. Mr.. Olson was away at
the time, operating his threshing outfit
on the farm of j. II. Williamson, Of
Stilwell, but his wife and family by
heroic efforts got one OF the horses and
COW out OF the burning building the
remaining six horses persisted in the
flames. With the help of nearby neigh
bors the fire was kept from spreading
to the granary. Mr.. Olson also loses

Farmer P. Mulligan gave Beckett the
thresher an interesting race into town
Saturday afternoon and managed to head
off the latter in an attempt to do his
crew out Of wages they had earned while
threshing on the Mulligan farm. It was
the purpose of Beckett to make an
assignment of threshing lien to one
OF the banks and get out of the way
without paying tia men. The crew
suspected that something like this was
in the wind and Mulligan at their request
hitched up and overlook Beckett who
WAS coming into town Oh his bike. For
short distance tho chase WAS an in
terestlng one, but Beckett was distauced
and bis little game successfully blocked.
