Willmar tribune. [volume] (Willmar, Minn.) 1895-1931, 1899-11-15

While these lines are being written
there is every sign of victory in the
pivotal states. But whatever the re-
suit it can but inspire all Of our forces,
who know they are right both in morals
and on the question of the real inter-
ests of the people, to continued effort
which they will never cease until tri-
ulnph is obtained. The idea was thus
expressed in a letter from our state
leaders to Mr.. Bryan, writing of pend
ing matters of Importance. The letter
said:
II am more than sorry to intrude upon
your resting time but you can take plenty
OF it, especially if the fight you have been
waglng goes as now expected Aud if it
does not, why you may have to take a
shorter rest time, and we all draw on our
reserves of hope and courage"
Hanna's coming message, which Nc
Kinley is preparing, will, it is said, ask
for still further increase of the stand
ing army. How did this escape Jerry

Says the Republican governor Of Wis
consin on McKinley's declared policy
of the Philippines:
1T seems to me that the continued ex-
istence of our present form of govern
ment is threatened by this problem We
are great nation, but we have our linn
itations. 1t is folly to talk of maintain.
ing permanently our supremacy over
those people,"
Thus does the list of ''traitors'' and
''copperheads" continue to increase,
and by the best blood of the republic.
And still another "copperhead" is
President Dove, of the Commercial
Travellers National League, New
York, who has resigned from Repub-
llcan organization on account of the
Mckinley imperialism.
Hanna has explained on the stump in
Ohio how no trusts or bad com binations
in restraint of trade exist. The Ma.
tional Watchman, from Hollis "Com.
mercial Year Book" publishes a com.
plete list of trusts, coming under the
accepted definition, covering whole
pages of The Waterman. They mum

representing nearly 100000, have
been organized since last March. OF
the total capitalization more than half
is "water," on which dividends are
forced by blood drawn from the people.
Almost every industry in the land, ex.

covered in these trusts. No, there are
no com binations in restraint of trade.
Soon there will be no trade in restraint
| of the com binations and no government
by the people.
Even the Minneapolis Tribune knows
of one trust, the coal trust, of which il
says-which might be sent to Hanna:
"Of all the pernicious trusts, the coal
| trust that advances the price of coal tc
extortionate figures at the beginning Of 8
hard winter is the most cruel"
