PASSING OF TRUSTS.
Congressman Calderhead Thinks They
Will Soon Disappear.

Some months ago w. A. Calderhead,
congressman from the Fifth district,
said in an exchange of ideas with Gov
ernOr Stanley that it would be wise for
the Republican leaders to go slow and
discriminate carefully in their denun-
citation of the trusts. for" he said,
I'VE may have to take a good deal
back, as we did in 1896. when a lot of
good Republicans had to turn tail on
the silver question"
When Mr.. Calderhead was asked how
soon the Republicans would begin to
take their anti trust talk back, he re-
piled: ''Well, guess spoke too soon.
&C looks to me now as if the trusts will
be a thing of the past before we vote
again. They will fall to pieces of their
own weight, and those that are left
viii be the more useful ones and enti-
tied to a place in affairs. Trusts hurt
their own stockholders more than any
body else. Men who buy over-capital-
lied stock are sure to lose. for stocks
of that character cannot stand These,
I believe, will fall before the election
of 1900, and the campaign will be con-
Quoted on different issues"

ROAST FOR BLACK MAJOR.
Lawrence Will Not Be Worked by
Topeka Negro.

The Lawrence World says: do you
know the Black Major? OF course you
have seen him. He has been in evil
dence the past month trying to work
some kind of a barbecue over at Bis
marck grove. It has mattered nothing
to him that there is nothing behind it,
but he actually had the audacity to
tackle the governor.
THE Black Major called the COVER
nor up by telephone and asked him to
make a speech over at the grove next
Friday. The governor was about to
accept when the further condition was
made that if he made the speech he
must furnish a steer for a barbecue.
The governor replied that he did not
have any steer either on hand or in his
contingent fund. This made the Black
Major indignant and he began getting
outside assistance. He called on var
ious parties and asked them to inter-
cede with the governor to furnish the
steer.
He was turned down all around but

WHY HE WAS DISCHARGED
Youpkins Was Not Dismissed For
Political Reasons.

With reference to the suit brought
against the members of the executive
council by NJ. Z. YOunkins, the papers
in the case having been served Thurs
day, A. H. Mooney, under whose direc-
ton Younkins was supposed to work,
said:
Mr.. Younkins was not released be
cause he was a Populist but because he
was incompetent. Governor Stanley
and other members of the council asked
Younkins to do several jobs of hauling
away from the state house but he re-
fused to pay any attention to them
Afterwards Younkins was assigned to
my department for his instruction and
I could do little with him.
Very frequently his team would be
standing down on Eighth street all the
afternoon and a part OF several fore
Moons when he should have been at
work hauling cinders away from the
state house
Had Younkins attended to his BUSH
ness and have been the lowest bidder
of the contracts which he claims he is
being deprived of. he would have Sc
cured them. But the work was con-
tracted for cheaper than he offered To
do it for and the men who secured the
contracts are attending to their bust
ness"

Ex-Governor Foster of Ohio was the
next speaker. He said:

have come to stay. Why? Because
the gigantic business operations of the
present and future can not be carried
on without them. Through the trust

elers and business men generally. It
would be little short of calamity to en-
courage any industrial developm ent
that would affect unfavorably this i'm
portant class of our citizens.
CLOSE to them as a strong element
of our people are the skilled mechanics
and artisans. They are the sineW and
strength of the nation.
while the business of the country
has been conducted by persons and
firms, the skilled employee has held close
and sympathetic relations with his en-
plOyer-
He has been something more than a
mere machine. He has felt the stimu-
lus and ambition which goes with
equality of opportunity. These have
contributed to make him a good citi-
zen. Take away that stimulus and am
bition and we lower the standard Of
our citizenship. Without good citizen
ship our national life is in danger.
TT seems to me, therefore, that the
vital consideration connected with this
problem of the trust is its effect upon
our middle class, the Independent in
diVidual business man and the skilled
artisan and mechanic.
How does the trust affect them? Tt
is admitted by the apologist for the
trust that it makes it impossible for
the individual or firm to do business on
a small scale.
1T tends to concentrate the owner
ship and management of all lines of
business activity into the hands Of a
very f2Tv. No one denies this.
This being so, it follows that the in
dependent, individual business man,
must enter the employment of the
trust Self-preservatiOn cOmpels it.
Duty to his family forces him to it.
He becomes an employee instead Of
an employer. His trusted fOremen and
his employees must follow him.
They have been in close and daily
association with him The new order
of things compels them to separate.
They are both to become a part of the
vest industrial army with no hopes and
no aspirations daily task to perform
and no personal interest and perhaps
no pride in the success of their work.
Their personal identity is lost. They
become cOgs and little wheels in
great complicated machine. There is
no real advance for them.
"They may perhaps become larger
cogs or larger Wheels but they can new
er look forward to life of business
freedom.
"A very select few may become
heads of trusts but such Opportuni-
ties will be rare indeed They will
therefore, be entirely useless as incen-
tiVeS to the ambition of the army of
those employed by the trusts AS a
result of the ceaseless and heartless
grind of the trusts in the almost in
sane desire to control trade, ambition
and perhaps inventive genius will be
deadened and killed.
THE middle-class of which I speak
will lose their sense of independence.
They are already being deprived of that
quality and opportunity which has at
tracted to this country the millions of
people or other nations who have help
ed make American citizenship and
American institutions the greatest and
best in the world.
THE trust is therefore the forerunner,
or rather the creator of industrial slav-
cry.
''The master is the trust manager or
director. 1t is his duty to serve the soul
less and nameless being called the stock
holder. To the latter the dividend is

of interest than will be paid by govern
ment, state or municipal bonds, thus
affOrding an opportunity for investment
by people of moderate means.
"A bureau of government, or a board
similar to the interstate commerce
commission, should be established to
whom all trusts shall apply for license
after being incorporated and to whom
reports, as required of national banks
should be made. The terms of the
license should provide against over
capitalization.
IAN profits beyond per cent should
be taxed for the benefit of the govern
ment. 1t seems to me that it is the
duty of this conference to request con-
gress to submit amendments to the
constitution giving it necessary power
to control the trusts and to tax their
profits"

CONSIDERED SERIOUS.
Mort Albaugh No Longer Laughs at
W. N. Wallace's Boom.

Down in the Seventh district it is said
that Congressman Long and Morton
Albaugh have been inclined to make
fun of the boom for W. H. Wallace of
Kingman who has started out to gain
the nomination for congress against
Long.
Now that Wallace is whooping things
up and has secured the endorsement of
his own county and making progress in
other counties, Mr.. Long and Mr.. Al
baugh are in a deep study, saying but
little.
The politicians now say that the en-
dorsement of Wallace by his home
county came about as the result of I'M
kind things Long had said. Among
these it is charged that Long stated
that Wallace could not get into the
race for congress because he could not
carry his own county. This he has al
ready done and the knockers have
temporarily taken to the woods
