Mutterings of the Coming Storm

NutteFln&S O1 the coming Storm.
Trusts exist elsewhere. But what
the people demand is that the republi-
can party shall deal with these paras-
ties, and that it offer some resistance
to their further progress and develop
ment. .., E-.
If the parties cannot control the
trusts the people will, for education
and enlightenment and free discussion
are too prevalent now to enable any
corporation to rob the public without
being called to account. 1t rests, there
fore. upon the republican party to pro-
vide some adequate remedy. u ,fff,T,
The plea that, the. trusts represent
private enterprisei and that their prop
erty can not be taken for the public
use, will not hold, for we saw this same
claim made in behalf of slavery and
Witnessed how easily it was brushed
away. Private property is every day
taken BY the congregations, not only
without apology but without .prfNok-
ting any protest on the part OF the own

If it were the desire of the men who

that party could have done so at the
last session of congress, for it had the

do so yet by calling an extra session.

tion is one that overshadows all others.
depressing the people and subverting
the institutions Of government, why has
it's party not put stop to them? Is it
the very people who are at the head of
the great trusts? Are not J. Pierpont
Morgan, Rockefeller, Vanderbilts.
Goulds, and the whole nest of trust
people the very ones who were direct
ing the republican national convention
and the actions of the last congress?
What relief from trusts can be expect
ed from the men who own and operate
them? If relief from them may be ex-
pected, there is no reason why there
should be any congressional action.
They have the power to dissolve them
without action of legislative bodies.
The republican party can have no more
power than it now has. 1t can now
make such laws as it pleases. No laws
in the interest of the people against
the trust can be made except such
laws take the trust properties as the
slaves were taken, or else build COM
peting plants and operate them at cost.
1t is only the fool who thinks such
laws can be expected from the owners
of the trusts who are a majority of
congress as now constituted.-Appeal

broglio. Concerning this latter phase
of the eastern question, the Philadel-
phia Times says:

brOglio Concerning this latter phase
of the eastern question, the Philadel-
phia Times says:
The act of the president ordering
the army and the navy to invade Chi
ma. presents the very worst phase of
imperialism. It is an absolute declar-
alton of war by the executive without
the authority or knowledge Of Congress,
and it is without excuse because it is
not necessity. Had Italy attempted
to senc war vessels or troops to New
Orleans because murderous organiza
tion in that city had butchered in cold
blood a number of Italian citizens, it
would not only have been accepted as
positive declaration of war against
this government, but it would have
been condemned by the great powers
Of Europe. Had we sent an armed
force into Turkey, where thousands of
Christians were being butchered, In
Guiding American missionaries, it
would have been an open declaration
of war, and it would have been held
as without just provocation.
This government owns no part OF
China, and we do not want to seize
any Of its territory. In this we are In
different attitude from the great pow
ers of Europe. All of them want to
possess part of China. and each is
struggling against the other to gain
the vantage ground in the coming par
tition of the Celestial empire. +
The whole genius of our government
is at war with the sp0ilation of China,
and ordering our army and navy to in
most offensive phase of imperialism,
and one that the country will not ap-
prove. Let the president halt
this periious scheme before it shall get
beyond his control.
The Republican party assumes pow
self on the ground that it is now nec-
essary to lay aside constitutional meth
DDS. 1t is certainly not difficult to see
that such plan, if left to go uncheck-
ed, will thwart our republic. It leaves
the Republican officials in the position
of knowing no law except their own
pleasure and what is desirable to them.
At the same time the common run Of
American citizens are exhorted to
''obey the law" and they are constant
ly reminded by legal decisions that
unconstitutional statutes don't go.
We mistake the temper of the Amer
ican people if they do not rebuke the
imperialistic Republican party this fall
at the polls.

Who will be the fusion candidate for
Congress is the question that is occu-
pying the minds Of the prominent poll
ticians of the Sixth district. In, many of
the lower counties Zeke Austin is being
doomed, and he seems to be develop
ing considerable strength in counties
where the populist organizations are
the strongest. c. o. Baldwin lis still
being talked of. His friends are
strongly advocating his nomination, in
spite Of his statement that, he would
not be a candidate. John Jenswold has
said that he is out of politics, but il:
he could be prevailed upon to run, he
undoubtedly would be very strong
candidate.
AS the mayorality contest case is set
tied, ex-Mayor Truelsen is available
timber. Mr.. Truelsen is as strong a
man as there is in the district. AL
though he was defeated for mayor by
very small margin, his defeat was by
no means a condemnation of the man,
nor was it a defeat for his party. Dur
ing the campaign his most aggressive
enemies acknowledged that he was the
best mayor the city ever had, and were
it not for few Irregularities in the
police department., he would have been
elected by a larger majority than ever

4 Talk About a Trust.


union worker met one June day at a
junction station in Iowa, where they
had to waitssome time to make the con-.
nection necessary for. the continuances
of9their Journey, To while ava
tine eaeh pos peI;ssza
as ID al
''sestink. the neva q, u ne world rhe1
quiet that pervaded the little station
was soon broken by the travelling man,
who pointing to cartoon in the paper,
exclaimed: There is the worst trust
of the whole outfit" The cartoon in
question was an innocent looking pic
ture representing the hands Of labor
and capital, firmly clasped in friend
ly grasp. Underneath the cartoon were
the words: will labor take the hint ?"
"Well,' answered the unionist, if
the existence of any trust could be JUS
titled it would be that of labor trust"
"The labor trust,' continued the trav-
cling man. philosophically, "is the
worst of them all. Yes, stree. It's
greedy: demands too much and antag-
onizes capitalize greatest benefactor
the working people have ever known
well, let US see," said the union
man. This cartoon implies that labor
| should work in friendly cooperation
! with capital if capital sees fit to CO.
| operate with labor. Capital, you know,
always insists upon debating the terms
of friendship.
Nov here are two hands. One horny
and hardened with years Of steady toll;
stained and calloused; unadorned ex-
cept for the scars and deformities that
incessant labor has brought. The other
hand is we'll formed, soft and dainty,
and adorned with priceless gem set
in ring of gold.
"Now, my FRIEND" continued the un-
! ion man, "whose hand was it that
! mined the gold from which the ring
was made? Whose hand refined the
! gold? Whose hand. brought the dia-
mond forth from Mother Earth and set
it in it's placer Come, my friend, an
swer these questions. Was it the hand
Of labor, or the hand Of capital?"
Why" answered the commercial
man, "the hand of labor, of. course"
| "Why in thu under them" exclaimed
the unionist, sshould.not the ring be or
the hand of labor instead of being. on
the hand of capital?"
The drummer forgot about the tyran.
nical labor trust and walked onto the
platform where the western breeze:
helped to cool his heated brow.

The difference between municipal
and private ownership or control of
public utilities is we'll shown in the case
Of the Brooklyn bridge. When the
bridge was owned and operated by the
cities of New York and Brooklyn, the
men who ran the bridge cars worked
eight hours a day and their uniforms
and badges were furnished free Of
charge. Capitalists captured the great
public way. 1t is a toll gate now Of the
worst kind. The men on the cars now
work ten hours a day, they have to
pay high prices for their uniforms and
the company forces them to deposit s.
| Tor badges not worth so cents each. A
recent maneuver by which the manage
ment made Il clean steal Of IS from each
man, thus securing fund from which
to pay for theatre tickets. cigars. cham
payne and fancy millinery for their
wives and daughters, was the change of
pay day from Monday to Thursday
without paying for the three days skip

lie utilities is. a.. great thing for the
