Chester 1. Long arrived in Meade
Wednesday morning and spoke at
the hall in the afternoon. The
meeting was not very enthusiastic.
Chester began by telling us about
how the Democrats met at Kansas
City July 4th and made platform
and also a paramount issue and how
mean they had treated the Populists
and Free Silver Republicans. "Chet"
also told US why the Democrats did
not make trusts the main issue and
how the Democrats had prevented
the passage of an antitrust amend
ment in a Republican house. We
pause to inquire, what was the mat
ter with the Republican majority?
He also told us how we got the
Philippines and that the war was
over in those islands and that we
had been adding territory for the
last century. In fact Chester told
us lots of things, from his point of
view, but he did not tell US why he
did not stand by the President in
his original Porto Rican policy, he
failed to harmonic his statement
that the war in the Philippines was
over and why it still required IS, 900
of our soldiers in that country. He
failed to tell us of the Cuban carpet
baggers and who was responsible
He neglected to tell US why this ad
ministration refused to make terms
with the Filipinos as the earlier adj
ministrations did with the natives OF
all territory heretofore acquired.
Mr.. Long had press agent along
and we presume the eastern papers
will tell of the Charge and enthusiast
tic audience that greeted Mr.. Long,
and how he 'annihilated" the en-
envy. We guess, nit.

Why Trusts Want Mckinley.

Some of the reasons given by the
Democratic congressional commit
tee why it will prove Improbable
for the 'plain people" to vote for
the ticket nominated by the trusts at
Philadelphia ought to make all who
are not members or benefciaries of
these combines regard ballot for
the Hanna-McKinley administration
as a self-inhicted robbery on the
part of the person who casts such a
vote.
A stove costs SO per cent more
than it did in 1896. 1t takes TWEEN
ty bushels more of corn to buy
wagon than it did four years ago,
and it requires 100 per cent more of
corn or wheat to pay for a copper
kettle now than it did then.
1t requires 40 per cent more grain
to buy pillow these days than it did
in 90, and IS percent more to buy
a hoe, rake or shovel. Before the
Hanna-McKinley administration be-
gan the business of governing at
Washington under a promise to
make everybody, including the farm
ers, prosperous, a set of common
wheels cost 81, now they cost S12.
Cultivators and other farm imple-
ments have gone up proportionate-
ly in price. Glass has advanced 40
per cent. Galvanized wire fencing
has risen 81 to $3.50 in the pastfour
years. 1t takes 80 per cent more
of cotton or corn to pay for pound
of sugar at present than it did in
90. The price of oil, coal. lumber,
tools and hardware has advanced
from 40 to 100 per cent. And so of
a number of other articles essential
to the farming and working classes
in prosecuting their vocations.
This is prosperity for the trusts,
but not for their victims. Eating or
drinking, sleeping working, work
ing or playing, living or dying, the
trusts rob the people, and the trusts
desire the election of Mckinley and
Roosevelt that their robberies may
not be interrupted.
