is Q. N. soHMIoK A DnMooRAr ?

Mr., G.. N. Schmick, of Leetonia, long
a generous contributor to the Demo-
cratic party and one of it's chief advisers
who is at the head of the Cherry VAL
ley iron works at Leetonia, is another
man who will not vote with Mclean
this year.
While in Cleveland the other day he
said to a Plain Dealer reporter:
mo, I am not going to vote for Nc
Lean" He said: 1 have been q Demo
crat all my life, but / cannot support
Mclean any more than 1 can support
the things for which he stands. Nc
Mclean for me. intend to vote a Re-
publican ticket this fall and every fall
until we can have true Democracy In
our platform and Democrats for our
candidates-not aliens without the
first interests in the state.-Allianct
Review.
Mr.. c. N. Schmick, of Leetonia, is not
Democrat. He has not voted Demo.
cratic for years. At his home he IL
known as Republican and is recogniz.
ed as such by all parties.
When the late Thomas Morgan, of AL.
lance, received the Republican nomina.
tion for congress, Charles N. Schmicl
was among the first to congratulate
Mr.. Morgan.
Mr.. Schmick 1t is true, pretended al
one time to have some Democratic pro.
clivities, but this was when he succeed
ed in having himself appointed as post
master Of Leetonia under a Democratic
administration. Mr.. Schmick was ther
to all appearances, a Democrat fol
"spois" only. What Mr.. Schmicl
should have said, is this: "I have beer
voting the Republican ticket for a lonl
time and shall continue to do so unit
1 am dead certain I can get an Office II
the Democratic party"
Mr.. Schmick's Democracy is Of the
Mark Hanna variety.

SITUATION ALARMING. E EM

Ex-United States Senator VIM. D.
extensive flour milling interests in Min
neopolis, warns his fellow Republicans
and the people, of the financial ruin
that will soon overtake the country, un-
less something is done at once to over
thow the trusts and stop their forma-
ton. He holds that the Republican ad-
ministration must do something more
than adopt platform resolutions
against trusts. He advocates the aboli-
ton of all protection duties when it
is evident that trust is securing ex-
horbitant profits on account of the
duties.
"The present situation, to the good
citizen, the good Republican and the man
who loves his country is really alarm
ing" says Mr.. Washburn, land it is
more largely owing to the rapid forma-
tion of what is called the trust than to
any other agency. First, this trust
craze has changed the whole nature of
things.
When was young mani am now
6S-I had the world before me, and there
was an absolutely fair field before me.
Take all of our 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 stop to fair and equal op-
portunities for the young men of today.
The young man just out of college has
no opening as 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, and the
chances are that he will never get any
further, because there are so many in
his class. This makes the situation a
serious one and j am sorry for the
young man of today. He comes out of
school, bright, eager, and enterprising
and runs against economic conditions
that are too much for him. I can't
help feeling that had he the same
chance had when 1 was a young man
1t would be a great thing for him. He
hasn't got it. I've studied the situation
and am sure of what am saying.
THE present Industrial tendency
amounts to almost a craze for trusts
There is hardly anything in the indus
trial line that has not been tackled by
the promoters of the trust. All the pro-
moters care for is to get up these combi-
nations, palm them off on an INITIATED
public and then get out of them after
making all the money they can. ]
think the banks make a great mistake
In lending their assistance to the promo
ters of these trusts. The banks finance
them, the promoters make everything
look plausible on it's face, and the un-
wary are drawn on.
"The worst feature Of the Industrial
| trusts of today is that nearly every onS
of them is vastly overcapitalized. The
promoter comes along with his idea. He
finds one or two concerns making 6
legitimate profit, while half a dozer
others are practically bankrupt and
making no money. Invaribly the con,
Germ that has been most unfortunate Il
the most anxious to go into the trust
These unthrifty concerns are able I,

WAGE EARNERSl
And Their Disapproval of the Philippine
War OF Conquest.
(New York Evening Post.)

war conquest
(New York Evening Post.)
George E. McNeill, one of the labor
leaders to whom Ex-Governor Boutwell,
addressed his recent letter advising the
working men of the country to oppose
the reelection of President Mckinley,
because Of his Philippine policy, says OF
the attitude of the laboring classes:
From recent correspondence 1 have
had believe that today nearly all the
leading laboring men Of the country
are opposed to the policy Of the admins
tration, and that the great mass of wage
earners in all parts of the country
stand with their leaders upon this ques-
ton. In fact, the anti-imperialist feel
ing is gaining every day."
Any man who travels about the coun-
try, especially in the east knows that
is true, not only of the laboring classes
but of all others. The feeling of dis
satisfaction with the Philippine situa-
ton, which was passive for a long time,
is changing rapidly into one of outspok-
en- protest. 1t is, in fact, so strong to-
day that If there were any way in which
it could find effective voice it would
make itself heard so impressively that
even the president would hear it.
