But There Was Reason to Believe
That 1t Was Not Wholly

way of work except to NOW the lawn and

strike a wandering band of savages that
held us up on sight and it was plain from
the way the red devils danced around us
that we were to be put to death after the
Indian fashion. All at once l recalled that
a good many of the Indians knew me as the
'four-fngered trader who was always on
the level with those wild merchants, so

OWNED BY THE TRUSTS.
Mckinley Was Created Political Lead
er by the Money Power for
Its Own Purposes.

While the republican platform upon
which Mckinley undoubtedly will stand
during the campaign of 1900 will oppose
trusts, that plank will be rotten from
surface to center.
The trusts own the republican party.
The trusts created Mckinley as po-
litical leader and the trusts will never
be attacked by the republican party.
just at present the trusts are quies-
cent, but the Diamond Match combine
has gobbled Edwin Gould's consolidated
works at Passaic, n. j., and 500 en-
ployes have been thrown out of employ
ment.
The republicans have nothing to say
about this. They will have nothing to
say about any trusts if Mckinley is
once more placed in power.
Perhaps the best picture of the situ-
alton has been given by William j. Bry-
an. He truly says:
THE republican party is absolutely
impotent in the hands of the money
power. The people 1aust give money
and elect a ticket that will be absolute
ly sure TO bring about reforms despite

take both, but at least take your own
party paper.
son the question of trusts the people
are beginning to open their eyes. The
farmers are beginning to see. The trav-
cling men also realize what an indus
trial trust means. The republican par
ty has sadly changed since the days of
Abraham Lincoln. You cont illustrate
it better than to take blackboard and
draw picture of Lincoln. Make him
tall and manipulating, then way be-
low draw picture of Mark Hanna.
Make him short and squatty; build a
toboggan slide from Lincoln TO Hanna,

Davenport, the cartoonist, has made
the drawing suggested by Mr.. Bryan.

THE GRAND BRACE.
Pathetic Plea of the BibuIous Heac
of the House Next
Morning.

One of the Bohemian citizens of the town
went home the other night after having
donned pair of skates that would have slid
him over an Arizona desert with the mer-
curry bubbling out of the top of the thermom-
eter. He had no recollection of how he got
home, and even the next morning he was
not certain whether he was on storm
tossed Atlantic liner or making leap from
balloon minus a parachute. He went
down to the breakfast table with enough wet
towels wrapped around his head to make
a turban for the mahdi. His wife met him
with reproaehes in her eyes, but she did not
scold him. She wanted to inform him of his
conduct the night before, however.
my DEAR" she said, did you know that
you came very near killing us all when you
went to bed last night?"
Nope" said her husband, thckly, as he
felt his hot forehead.
"Well, you did. You knocked over the
baby's cradle. Then you blew out the gas
and we were nearly asphyxiated. What do
you think of that?'
Her husband is usually a resourceful man,
but the fumes of many cocktails taken the
night before somewhat clouded his intellect.
He made grand brace and tried to look pa
thetic.

burst through his foggy brain, wasn't
here to die with you?' Washington Post.

Mr.. Mckinley cannot afford to be
otherwise than optimistic. It is his war.
He embarked the country in it without
consulting either congress or the peo-
pie. The acquisition of the Philippines
was his idea. He insisted through mis-
docile agents and brokers in Paris
upon the surrender of the Philippines
by Spain as the condition upon which
he would agree to make peace with the
latter country, although nothing of the
kind was stipulated or even limited at
in the protocol. Rather than miss
what he must have thought at the time
was a fine bargain he agreed to pay
Spain $20,000,000 for her title, such as
it was, and to take the chance of lick
ing the Filipinos into submission. How
many millions in addition to the $2o,-
ooo.00o paid to Spain have since been
expended in the vain effort to protect
the Spanish title by war and bloodshed
