TRUST.


Dhe Democrats made another bril-
liant pro-trust record during the same
session of Congress Representative
Richardson Of Tennessee, Democrat.
tried to assist the Sugar Trust by Of
fering n joint resolution to admit Gu
ban and Porto RicIn sugar free of
duty.
The remission of that duty would
have amounted TO about SD, J,OOO 900 Il
year, and the Sugar Trust would have
benefited to the amount of at least
Sl5,OOO,OOO per year. The controller
of the Sugar Trust is Mr.. Henry o.
Havemeyer, Democrat. Mr.. Richard
sons proposed gift to his friend Mr.
Havemeyer was smothered in the
ways and means committee of the
House. This was done by the Repub-
lican members of the committee.
1t was also proposed by Senator
Jones, Democratic national chairman.
and Mr.. Bryan's manager, to return
the duties paid on Porto Rican sugar
and molasses, not to the Porto Ricans,
but to the persons who paid these du-
ties.
This amounted at the time to ST.
4S1, ,S66. Had the scheme succeeded
the American Sugar Refining Company
and A. S. Lasalles II Co, II part of
tHe same conceru, WOuu nave Dene-
fitted by direct gift of S1,25O, ia.
This is the first instance on record
where direct gift was intended to he
made to trust, and the Democratic
manager, Senator J. X. Jones, wished
to make it. This was also prevented
by the Republicans.
The money was not to be returned
to the Porto 1ticans, as the duties paid
now are, but to the Sugar Trust.
All the facts are printed in the Con
gressional Record and are Il part of
American history.

TRUST REC0RDOF DEMOCRATS
HOW THE DEMOCRATIC NATIONAL
CHAIRMAN TRIED TO HELP THE SUGAR TRUST
Every Line Of Legislation Was Placed There by the Republicans
and the Democrats Voted Against Constitutional Amend
ment to Regulate Them Only Four Months Ago

Every line of legislation now on the
statute books of the United States di-
rected against trusts and unlawful
trade combinations was placed there
by the Republicans.
That there is not more stringent law
against them is the fault of the Demo-
cratic party.
The last occasion on which the par
ties, as represented in Congress, went
on record on the trust question was on
June l, 1900.
On that day n final vote was taken
on constitutional amendment to
grant Congress power to define, regu-
late, prohibit and dissolve trusts, mo-
nopolies and combinations, whether eX-
listing in the form of corporations or
otherwise"
1t requires two-thirds vote of Con.
gress to submit II constitutional amend
ment to the state legislatures for rat
itication.
The question to submit 1t was lost
by vote of 154 yeas to 132 nays.
OF the yeas 149 were Republicans
and only five We're Democrats. The
live were Campbell of Montana, Ma
phen and Taylor of Massachusetts,
Scudder of New York. and Sibley of
Pennsylvania.
vi tuc Io- iiiiyS, ouly t"o were ic-
publicans, Loud aud Mccall.
Richardson. Lentz, SulZer, Rupert,
Salmon and all the other professional
trust killers voted nay. They de-
c!ined to give Congress the power to
grapple with the trusts. The Demo-
Gratis INDUCED in spasms of virtue for
two days, denouncing the trusts, and
then voted to continue them.
In one of Mr. Bryan's recent speeches
he gave the Republican remedy as the
final one he would adopt. in case he
was elected and all other means failed.
In other words Mr.. Bryan admits the
value of the Republican idea, but
wants to try other measures first. lie
has not said what those measures are
to be.
Some trusts operate all over the
country; others. like the New York Ice
Trust, operate in single city. The
requisite power to reach each and all
and bring them within the federal law
was denied by Il margin of thirty six
votes, all Democratic.
Denouncing is one thing. Doing is an
other. Mr.. lirynn's trust denuncia-
tions, in view of his party's record
promise no better than the prophecies
made four years ago; and us II

HOPING FOR A BETTER WORLD.

Mr.. Bryan among other arguments
in favor of n return TO the good old
times of '93 to '9G declares that more
Bibles We're sold under the Cleveland
administration than under Mckinley.
Perhaps he is right. Folks hadn't
much to do but to read in those times,
and Bibles were always very cheap.
When things are at the worst on this
old earth people naturally turn to re-
ligious literature for consolation. StiIl

Another thing which Bryan has done:

he would have said that all the voters
in the district of Columbia are disfrau-

entrance! Statements were posted up
on the doors that the mills were shut
down until further notice. The mill
owners had stolen a march on the en-
ployees, and the big strike was on; but
1t had been started by capital, not by
labor, and labor went to Its tenement
or congregated in the saloon, sullen
and gloomy, and as days went by and
the mills showed no signs Of opening
the great army Of the unemployed
walked the streets Of Milton In grow
ing discomfort and fast accumulating
debt and poverty.
Meanwhile the trial of the man ar
rested for shooting Philip came on, and
Philip and his wife both appeared as
witnesses in the case. The man was
convicted and sentenced to Is years
imprisonment. 1t has nothing special
to do with the history Of Philip Strong,
but may be of interest to the reader to
know that In two years time he was
pardoned out and returned to Milton to
open his old saloon where he actually
told more than once the story Of his at.
tempt on the preachers life.
There came also during those stormy
times in Milton the trial of several Of
the men who were arrested for the as
sault on Mr.. Winter. Philip was also
summoned as witness in these cases.
AS always. he frankly testified to what
he knew and saw. Several of the ac-
cused were convicted and sentenced to
short terms. But the mill owner. prob
ably fearing revenge on the part of the
men. did not push the matter. and
most of the cases went by default for
lack of prosecution.
Mr.. Winters manner toward Philip
underwent change after that memo
rable evening when the minister stood
by him at the peril Of his own life.
There was n feeling Of genuine re-
spect, mingled with fear, in his de-
pertinent toward Philip. To say that
they were warm friends would be say
ing too much. Men as widely different
as the minister and the wealthy mill
man do not come together on that
sacred ground of friendship, even when
one is indebted to the other for his
life a man may save another from
hanging and still be unable to save
him from Scltishness. And Mr.. Winter
went his way and Philip went his on
different basis, SO far as common
greeting went, but no nearer in r2e
real thing, which makes heart to heart
communion impossible For the time
being Mr.. Winters hostility was sub
merged under his Indebtedness to Phil
ip. He returned to his own place in
the church and contributed to the
financial support.

CHAPTER Y.

One day at the close of a month
Philip came into the cozy parsonage.
and instead of going right up to his
study, rs his habit was when his out
side work was done for the day, he
threw himself down on couch by the
open fire. His wife was at work in
the other room, but she came in, and,
seeing him lying there, inquired what
was the matter. ---~----' -,
Nothing, Sarah, with me. Only
I'm sick at heart with the sight and
knowledge of all this wicked towns
sin and misery"
"Do you have to carry it all on your
shoulders, Phlip?'
YES" replied Philip almost fiercely.
1t was not that either. Only his reply
was like great sob Of conviction that
he must bear something of these bur-
dens. He could not help it.
Mrs. Strong did not say anything for
a moment. Then she asked:
Don't you think you take it too seri-
ously, Philip
"What?"
"Other peoples wrongs. You are
not responsible
"Am not? am my brothers keep
er. What quantity of guilt may l not
carry into the eternal kingdom If l
do not do what can to save him! Oh,
how can men be so selfish? Yet l am
only one person. l cannot prevent all
this suffering alone"
"Of course you cannot, Philip. You
wrong yourself to take yourself to
task so severely for the sins of others.
But what has stirred you up SO this
time" Mrs. Strong understood Philip
well enough TO know that some partic-
ular case had reused his feeling. He
seldom yielded to such dependency
without some immediate practical rea-
son.
Philip sat up on the couch and clasp
| ed his hands over his knee with the
eager carncstness that characterized
{ him when he was reused.
| Sarah. this town slumbcrs on the
! smoking crest of volcano. There are
| more than $4,000 people here in Milton
| out of work. \ great many of them
are honest, temperate people who have
saved up little. But it is nearly gone.
| The mills are shut down and, on the
| authority of men that ought to know,
| shut down for all winter. The same
condition of affairs Is true in more or
| less degree in the entire state and
| throughout the country and even the
world. People are suffering today III
this town for food and clothing and
fuel through no fault Of their own
The same thing is true Of thousands
and even hundreds of thousands all
over the world. 1t is an age that calls
for heroes, martyrs, servants, sayiors
And right here in this town, where dis
tress walks the streets and actual want
already has its clutch on many pool

pensive parties and living in its little
round of selfish pleasure just as II the
