There was just little shower on
Tuesday enough tolay the dust
the first of the spring season. The
farmers are very well satisfied at pres
emit weather conditions. There is
plenty of moisture in the ground, and
wheat will make a more vigorous and
deeper-rooted start without early
rains. The pastures would be bene-
flied by good shower.

SPEAKING OF TRUSTS

Comrade, when your democrat or
republican small capitalist friend
complains of the business methods of
the trust you just ask him if he
wouldn't like to be a member of
trust If he's honest he'll tell you he
would. That's where you have him
on the hip. That's what you want.
That's what we all want.
The difference between the socialist
and the believer in small capitalism is
that the former wants to own share
of trust and the latter wants to cut
the trust up into little trusts.
Some of these small capitalists who
wanted to "bust the trust" had now
better give their attention to the
proposition to "wrest the trust"
Wrest it from the profit of the idler to
the use of the toiler.
The difference between the trustist
and the socialist is the difference be-
tween the Gins" and the "outs."
II want to get into trust as soon
as l can and the way Pm going to do
it is to work and vote for my class
interests That's good resolution
for worker to make any day as well
as on the first day of the year. Then
work and vote for socialism.
After individuals, partnerships af-
ter partnerships, corporations; after
corporations, trusts; after trusts, the
trust. That's a little evolution.
The small capitalist. would fall back
down the steps of evolution and
stagnate and decay in individualism.
We have something better to offer;
the trust-socialism.
Up with the trust. Down with in
dividualism!

"REFoRMn

An address headed "to the reform
forces of the country" has been issued
by G. F. Washburn, president OF the
Bryan clubs of Massachusetts, and the
national committee of the peoples
party, in which he says: cit is beyond
the range of human probability that
Bryan will again become the candi-
date of the democratic party. But he
can lead to victory new party con-
Quoted on safe and conservative vet
progressive lines. Therefore, to main
tain our present movement a new
party must be formed. We must have
a complete reunion of reform forces.
This can be accomplished by uniting
Bryan democrats, Bryan republicans,
populists and other smaller bodies to
be led by the man of the hour, who
ever he may be-"
That's right; you fellows dilly daily
along on your conservative lines as
long as you like, but when you have
to / guess you'll come into the revalu-
tionary camp.

lowest in the scale being 81, OOO,O 900

trusts levy tribute on the American
people greater annually than all the

or the trusts will own the people and
all the property of the nation" The

The municipal campaign is on in
Fairhaven, a city of several thousand
population in our neighboring county
OF Whatcom. Comrade John Cloak is
candidate for mayor and the So
cialists are making great effort to
make that city the Haverhill of the
Pacific coast. Mr.. Cloak was the
candidate for the same office year
ago and came within SO votes of
being elected. The capitalist fac
tons are trying to unite to prevent
his election this time. The election
takes place December 4th and the
time is being employed in active
work. There is no APATHY" on the
part of the socialists and all the

TRUSTS

The great worldwide issue of the
coming campaigns as it has been of
the past is between capitalism and
labor The trust question was all
but ignored by the capitalistic parties
in the late lamented campaign and
this in the face of the fact that the
columns of their papers had been filled
for three years with discussions of
those monster opponents of capt.
alism. What little attention was
given to these growths was in advo-
eating that they be given publicity"
be Suppressed" when they weren't
good and Smashed" when they got
too incorrigable.
Now the socialist is one of the
trusts best friends and doesn't like to
see it punished and yet the trust fears
the socialist more than the capitalist
party who threatens to take a fall
out OF it. We say capitalist party
because the republicans and demo-
Gratis are simply factions ofcapitalism
who cannot come to an agreement
about the division of spoils.
The socialist is friend of the trust
because he sees that it saves labor, in
PRODUCES more system and less friction
into it's workings than where a num-
Der of small capitalists do the same
business. Now why does the trust
fear its good friend, the socialist?
They simply differ on few details.
The socialist wants everyone to be a
shareholder in the trust while the
trust managers want only a few of
the "best of us" to get the benefits.
Another point of difference between
the socialist and the trust manager is
in the form these benefits should take,
the former taking the stand that the
benefits of the trust should take the
form of less hours of work for the
worker and increased number of
products for use. The latter claim
that the benefits should take the form
of increased profits to the few.
The socialist wants social produc-
ton for the benefit of ALL The trust
list wants social production for the
benefit of the few.
The socialist wants trust for all.
The trustist wants socialism for the
few.
The socialist wants production for
the use of the worker The trustist
wants production for the profit of the
idle.
These are the differences between
the trustist and the socialist. Again
we assert we are friends of the trust.

Last Saturday the great commercial
and industrial institutions OF Chicago
turned out to do honor to Mckinley
and Roosevelt. The voice OF the men
of millions was raised in no uncertain
tone in behalf of the republican party.
Corporations and firms numbering
their employees by the hundreds, and
in some cases by the thousands, sent
their men into the streets to bear pic
turesque and impressive testimony to
the devotion of the captains OF in
dustry to the party now in power.
Next Thursday Mr.. Bryan, the can
didate of the democratic party, will
reach Chicago to close here his mag
nifcent campaign for the presidency.
He will be met at the train by repre-
sentatives, not of millionaire corpora
tons, but of the smaller merchantile
and industrial establishments which
are waging an unequal fight for ex-
istence and prosperity against the
centralizing and monopolistic ten
denotes in business fOstered by repub-
lican legislation. =.
1t is natural for representatives OF
ILLS CLASS III SulSdSO " OS lSduy e1AAN
eager to welcome Mr.. Bryan and to
advance in every way the political
principles for which he stands.
Against their habitations beats with
ever increasing violence the tornado
of the trusts and of monopoly. They
have seen this menace to their very
existence reach its fercest develop
ment under the fostering kindness of
four years of McKinleyism. They
have seen the republican party adj
journ it's national convention without
promise of relief. while republican
spokesman, notably the true head of
the republican party, Mark Hanna,
have defended and extolled trusts and
monopoly from the platform. 1t is
for the business man who is not at
the same time monopolist the part
of wisdom, the part OF patriotism and
the part of selfpreservation to give
himself in this contest unreservedly to
the support of William Jennings
Bryan"
And yet many working men voted
for the party, the avowed champion
of the small merchant, the small cap
italist. Some of them say they are
socialists too.
