HANNA's TRUST PLANK.

The following Is the so-called trust
plank framed at the Republican con.
vention in Philadelphia:
I'VE recognize the necessity and
propriety OF the honest cooperation
OF capital tn meet new business cOn-
ditions and especially to extend u
rapidly increasing foreign trade, bu,
we condemn all conspiracies and
combinations intended to restrict
business, to create m~onopolies and to
limit production or to control prices,
and favor such legislation as will
etfectually restrain and prevent all
such abuses, protect and promote
competition and secure the rights
Of producers. laborers and all VINO
are engaged in industry and com.
merce.-
With this plank the Republican
campaign managers intend to play
upon the credulity OF the American
people. The full extent OF the
hypocrisy involved in thus attempt to
mock the intelligence Of the voters
with i%nsiuccre declarations can only
be realized when we remember that
Hanna WIS the master mind at the
Republican convention, that Hanna
wrote the important planks OF the
platform. and that this same man
Hanna has during the last two years
made the following public declara-
ton regarding trusts:
1.-The English government is as
good rs ours"
Large combinations Of capital
have existed for 200 years III Eng.
land
The great commercial success Of
England has been due to those same
trusts."
Those combinations known Us
trusts are not a political question at
all. They are simply and purely a
business question"
The trusts have tho best men in
the country at their head. | believe
in their organization
Il think tile trusts will result bene.
ticially to the men who work in the
factories
.What harm can those trusts do
the people of this country"
The formation OF trusts is a stcI
forward.
They are not intended to increase
profits but to reduce cost.
TRUSTS! There's no such thing
The story that | have defended
trusts in any of my speeches i.
absolutely false"
The combination OF corporation!
is simply the evolution Of business;
don't know OF a trust in the United
States
Il say they are not trusts. II they
are, prove it
There Is not a trust left III the
United States. There never were
more than about a half dozen, an,
they all have been Dissolved and con
verted into large corporations"
In short, III the language Of tn,
Ellicott(Md.) Democrats:
@Senator Hanna at first denied tina
any trusts existed. Then he elaine,
that they were necessities. NoN b,
asserts that the Republican part,
will smash them. All of Silcl
would be somewhat contradictory J

Millinery Opening.

Mrs. Crumnett was amply repaid
for her trouble in arranging her
store for the spring opening on
Thursday by the many expressions
made by her visitors on account of
the BEAUTIFUL display that greeted
them.
The artistic arrangement OF
pretty flowers, lovely ribbons and
silks and charmingly trimmed hats
dress patterns of beauty and rich
ness and trimmings Of the latest,
most catchy designs, produced a
most pleasing effect, which was by
far in the lead of any thing OF its
kind that has ever taken place in
our town.

A Word
To Teachers.

The eye is a great factor in. ed
ucation, not only in school, but
outside as well. Many teachers at
schools haye already found that
where their efforts to draw the at
tention of pupils to their lessons
were partly fruitless a defect in
sight was the main. if not the
whole, cause and after the defect
was corrected BY properly fitted
spectacles the pupils were more
attentive and better able to keep
pace with the rest Of the class.
We have arranged test cards by
which any one can make a very
intelligent and fair test of the eyes
themselves. We will send to any
one set of these cards free upon
application.

The Fishing Law.

Some of our town fishermen have
hit upon a happy construction OF

YOU be so unfortunate as to hooi' a
law protected trout that, from the
position you occupy while fishing,
with your face always to the river,
to throw it back certainly does not
mean to again place it in the river,
but to throw it back behind you
into the basket, which is always
kept conyenientiv in the renr.

The Hightown School.

The Hightown people are NOV
ING along With their school project.
Negotiations are now pending by
which the promoters hope to secure
the Pres bvterian Manse property
near DR.. Whitlaw's, which has net
been in use for some time, for their
purposes. The building on this lot
will be added to and changed as
1.-The case requires.
We believe, for this matter we
had harnessed up Monterey and
Hightown, and made the prediction
that thew would work we'll togeth-
err and make good pulling team
but Monterey don't seem to be IN 1t;
she either did'ent get hitched up IN
the start or has baked some where
on the way. If she's baked we
would suggest pouring water IN
h IF ears or building a fire under
hef. She evidently don't belong
in Hightown's class.
The business men Of Monterey
have let good thi ng go by in this
school movement. They admit
that it was a good ii lag an | exprss-
ed the desire that it should be. but
thew never made a move to bring it
to pass. and it did, rt.
The leading and Influential men
of the town have the money to
send their sons and daughters away
from home for their learning, and
they are satisfied with the
present arrangements, while the
poor man who is ambitious to ed
ucate his children is forced to let
them grow up without it, because
he can't help himself.
