He is calling upon you and me to en-
dorse him. Mr. Editor, and you Mr. Clti
zen; you, Mr. Preacher, and you Mr.
Christian. Do you like him? Do you
admire him? Do you believe in him
and his methods? DO you want him?
If you do you will vote for his man Mr.
Mckinley; for by voting for Mckinley,
you endorse Hanna and all that he rep
resents. Do you believe in trusts? Then
vote for Mr. Hanna's man. Do you be.
lieve that the dollar is of more value
than the man? Then vote for MIR Nc
Kinley whose policy indicates just that
thing. If you do not approve of Mr.
Hanna and his methods, do not endorse
him at the polls by voting for his man
Mckinley.
There are some good and honest citi
zens who say that the trusts are here;
that they are an outgrowth of civilization
and progression; and that being here, we
can't get rid of them. My dear friend,
the Republican party has not tried to
get rid of them. The attempt of MIR
Griggs to get rid of them has not kept
him awake nights. A trust is a corpor.
ation-a creature of law. Do you con
tend that the creature of law is greater
than its creator? You can't maintain
such position for minute. Your com
mon sense rebels against such tommy rot
The trust expects and demands protec.
ton from the government; why then
should the law not be able to control it!
If statutes did not authorize and protec,

fully-for the trusts The small manu-
facturer IS obliged to close up, because
the trust reduces the price of the article
manufactured. But for how long is the
price reduced? Why until the small
manufacturer goes to the wall. Then
the price is raised, and the consumer
pays for all the loss the big trust has
sustained while driving the small manu-
facturer out of trade. The manufacturer
not only loses his trade, but his plant
rusts away, his shops are destroyed and
he soon finds himself penniless. What
of the workmen? They are turned out
to seek living In some other channel.
There is poverty and distress, sickness
and hunger, wre' chedness and squslor.
These are the legitimate fruits o, the
trust.
Very few people of the west realize
these baneful effects. Ooe must travel

After destroying competition, what
does the trust do? Il curtails the output
of the article it manufactures. l. reduces
