Willmar tribune., 1900-10-03
SAME OLD DODGE.

The trust managers are again re-
sorting to the same old dodge of Offer
ing employment to men on condition
that Mckinley be reelected.
Here is part of one of the letters
sent out by the Montclair Rubber Com
paDy of New York City, "a branch OF
the Rubber Trust, to a Chicago trayel-
ing man:
"Dear Sir: We would like to have
you consider the following conditional
proposition, subject to the election of
Mckinley and other trade conditions:
We wish to secure q number of good
statesmen to sell our goods exclusively
during November, December, January,
February and March, or as much of the
time as possible, and also during the
entire year of 1901 if mutually salts
factory.
Our idea is if Mckinley is elected to
start our statesmen the following Mon
day, November IL, and push hard for
trade as long as any can be found to
pay for the expense and efforts. We
do not know if you are situated so you
can travel exclusively with our goods
during the months mentioned, but
should like to hear from y0u.'
These letters are sent broadcast over
the land. The only purpose is to
bribe the recipients to vote for McKin-
ley. After the election the fellows who
caught at the bait would find that they
have been fooled. There is nothing
IN the above letter binding on the rub
Der trust. They could simply inform
the applicant that they didn't ueed his
services, and he would have no re-
course. In line with this work is anoth-
er dodge that was played successfully
four years ago, namely ordering goods
on conditions that Mckinley be elect
ed. These orders are fakes, pure and
simple, and are only intended for the
manufacturer to show his laborers to
induce them to vote for Mckinley.
Some firms commenced that dodge
last winter. OF course q little thought
will show that such orders were fakes.
No one accepts conditional order
like tn at eight months ahead of time.
He could not buy up raw material un-
til after election, and he certainly
could not give prices that far ahead
on such an order. One of those fake
orders was for large job of wood
carving. Now that manufacturer
could not buy the lumber at that time,
and he could not know what the price
of lumber would be in November.
Therefore, If he made q contract it
would have been q wild speculation
that no reputable business man would
embark on. A cause that has to resort
to such subterfuges must be weak.
Gov. Mount Of Indiana, 9 staunch
republican, being asked what he
thought Of Mark Hanna's statement
that til ere are no trusts, = said:
III Hanna made that statement he
did not know what he was saying or
he wanted to fool the people Of this
country. u Il 81
There are trusts ii this country,
and they are fast grinding the life out
Of the American people. I am oppos-
led to them and ] hope the American
people will rise Il their might and
crush theEn.' = 5.ss
Yes. verify, they will rise ana crush
them. But they can't do It through .
party whose leader believes that there
are no trusts.

Mob violence is despicable. every
where. The mobbing of Roosevelt at
Victor, Co.., was on a par with the
mobbing of Bryan by Yale students
in 1896. The republicans were sorry
that Bryan was mobbed, but they did
not go back on their principles and
vote for him for tha reason; the demo-
Gratis and populists are sorry Roose-
welt was attacked, but they will not 60
back on their principles on that &C.
count.

QUESTIONS HIS POLITICS.

SUNBURGH, Minn., Sept. "a, 1900.
EDITOR TRIBUNE:
Tie Argus of last week, under the
heading "Good Men and True" place
P. A. Gandrud at the head. If the
Argus man had known Gandrud as
we'll as we do up here he might haye
hesitated about putting him in that
list. As far as Gandrud's speaking
is concerned he can spout some high
sounding phrases about our glorous
work in 'civilizing'' the Philippines,
and brag about how high we stand in
civilization. If.hig civilization makes
US 60 over there and kill the people
i wonder what we would do ii we we're
less civilized. I. have heard two OF
Gandr ud's speeches this summer, and
they were just the same. Ill.,. p
As to G Gandrud's politics, when he
came here he was republican, but
when he found we were almost to a
man Alliance men he Joined us, and
went with us into the peoples party.
He wanted our trade, of.course. But
in 1896 he went down to the cities to
buy his fall stock Of goods. W hat
kind Of bargain he made is Of course
not known, but he came back re-
publican. Some time after the republi-
cans gave him the post Office, although
the old postmaster had three times as
man " names on his petition as G and
rud had on his. Evidently he had
bought come good stock on that trip.
SO we that have known him for
years don't believe tha Ct he is 4 repub-
#lican from principle, but because he
thinks there might be som=thinR 70

the TRUTH ABOUT THE PHILIPPINES.

=, An immense audience packed the
Opera House last Saturday evening to
listen to Lieut.. Martin E. Tew's ,lect-
ure on the Philippines. For two hours.
they listened with rapt attention to the
truth about the operations in those
Islands. In plain and straightfor-
ward manner that brought conviction
to his hearers he told how Aguinaldo
and his followers had been lighting as
the allies of the Americans against the
Spanish; how at the request of the
American commander the Filipino
forces gave up portion of their
trenches to the American soldiers; how
the Fjlipinos had conquered the Span
iards all over the island, and estab-
lished a republican government pat
termed after the American constitution
how they had hailed the Americans as
iberators; how anxiously they tried
to avoid trouble, giving up. position
after position to the Americans; how
the trouble started by shot from an
American sentinel; and how. even then
the Filipino general tried to have the
war stopped and neutral zone estab-
lished between the armies, in order to
prevent repetition of the outbreak.
He showed that the Filipinos who are
fighting for their liberty are . civilized
race, with schools, colleges, ,snewspap-
ers, art institutes, and other adjuncts
of civilization and refinement. He
told how a Filipino general pointed
out to him the fact that the proportion
of savages to civilized people in the
Philippines is not as large by far as
it was in our country at the time we
attained independence: He demon
strated that we could not. make the
Philippines an integral part of this
republic without bringing our labor
ers In competition with cheap labor;
and to make them colonial posses
sions without the right and privileges
conferred by our constitution was con-
trary to our constitution and to
justice. He called attention to the
monstrous injustice and inconsistency
of killing the Christian Filipinos un-
der the plea of civilization, while the
government was paying tor the privi-
lege Of hoisting the stars and stripes
over the harems and slave pens Of the
savage Mohammedans of Sulu. He
made no mention Of parties, but told
the simple truth about affairs in the
Philippines, and left the hearers to
draw their. own. conclusions. No per-
son unbliDded BY partisan zeal could
listen to that recital without feeling
that the administration had committed
9 grievous wrong ia destroying the
Philippine republic, and that Ii was
the duty Of all fairminded Americans
TO vote to redress that wrong. There
we're undo ubtedly many In that audi
Ience who felt that they had hitherto
been misl.d By false and distorted
sstatelnen ublished By. the partisan
press 70 bolster up the cause Of the
adlmtnistr attoD, and who will throw

Who love justice, And when theyarea-

head OF the trust, but it is hoped that
this plant will soon resume and be at
work In every department.
The Acme Metal Works will soon be
ready for operation. and at present are
taking orders for future work. When
this plant Is completed it will be very
modern works. and will be one Of the
leading works of its kind in the val
ley.
The West Virginia Glass Company is
closed down on account of a strike
with the boys in the factory, who
struck for five cents on the turn. The
factory will likely resume this week.
This factory of the combine has lost
two good men in the last week, being
M. Douglas, factory manager, and
George Matheny, manager of the mould
shops 1t is not known who will take
these mems places, but the matter will
be settled this week.
The McDermott Tool Works are very
busy, having all the business they can
look after, and as the roads continue
to improve their business will increase.
The Laughlin Nail and Shovel Fac
tories have had steady weeks run,
except the nail factory, which closed
down Friday. on account of the scarcity
of kegs, but will resume the first of
this week. The shovel department is
gradually gaining and the market can
not be fully filled with their present
capacity. When this new plant is on in
full it will represent the largest fac
tory outside the trust, and promises to
be one of the most successful, with a
bright outlook for the future.
Mann's Foundry still continues to en-
Joy good trade.

| into demands than the present. The
Local strikes in England, the increased
| demand for coal on account OF the
South African war, the growing indus
trial development of Austria. and last
but not least, the unusual severity of
| the past wlnter-all these were cir
cumstances too favorable to leave room
| for doubt in the minas of the opera
tives that the mine owners would ac-
cede to their demands. An Austrian
statute, enacted in 1896, provides for
| the formation of boards OF arbitration
in cases of strikes, lockouts and other
labor trouble. These boards are COM
posed of an equal number OF represen-
tatives OF employers and employees.
They may elect their own presiding
officers, but where there is a deadlock
the chairman is appointed by the gov
eminent. In this case, however, the
final settlement of the difficulties by
; the board SENS as remote as it was a
month ago.
We have population now o. nearly
seventy-five mil 0ns. We have grown
in wealth more rapidly than any mod
ern nation. Our population has null
tiplied without precedent for the past
hundred years. But our wealth has in
creased much faster. Yet, strange to
say, as wealth increases the proper
tionate number of those who have con-
troll of it decreases. About $4,000 per-
sons in this country now own about
one-half of the wealth That is, one
persons owns So, 900 for every 5000 per-
sons that own one dollar each; or, one
person owns 100000 for every $3.50
persons that own 800 each Or to put
this in another fOrm-about one person
In each rs owns twice as much as all
the other rs! That is, one-seventy-
fifth of our people own two-thirds of all
our wealth. One million citizens OWL
twice as much as the other seventy-fiye
millions. The force of this can be
more fully seen when we consider that,
a generation ago, or 40 years ago, be
fore the Civil War, there were not
more than ten persons in this country
that were millionaaires; now there are
not less than 10000 persons who con-
troll or count as their own million
dollars or more each. Most of them
have from one to twenty millions, buC
there are about twenty persons who
own fifty millions or more each. These
colossal fortunes were made very
largely within the last generation. and
inheritance had very little to do with
but few of them. So the question is,
how were they amassed? And the
| further question, has the body polite
| received an equivalent in service and
wealth for these millions Rev. J. H.
| Kelley
