As the administration has earned
the gratitude and gratuities of the
trusts by violating the constitution
in the case of the Porto Rican OPP
preston and in the canal business,
SO it has in many other ways. The
public moneys have been at the free
disposal Of a great financial insti-
tuition representing a combination
OF trusts in New York. Without
interest it has been permitted to
lend through one year an amount
Of tho treasury surplus averaging
nearly or quite hundred million
dollars. No sane person believes
that there was not consideration
OF some kind given for this favor.

Mr.. Mckinley said "Roform In

Nevertheless, prompted by a zeal

which it had taken years OF effort

In one important instance only
have the joint designs of the trusts

THE PHILADELPHIA TICKET.

The Hon. William Mckinley,
president of the United States. has
been renominated by his party at
Philadelphia for second term.
Although both he and his political
associates would deny the assertion,
it is fact of common potoriety
that he is thus placed before tho
country as the candidate OF the
trusts; exactly, as, in July, the
Hon. William ]. Bryan was pre-
aented as the antitrust champion.
Brushing aside all minor issues,
that Of the trusts is to be the main
one in the campaign Of 1900. II
will even overshadow the issue of
Republican defiance Of the consti-
tuition of the United States, be-
cause that has been but an incident
Of the general purposes, then, we
may safely assume that the popular
result Of the November elections
will show the strength Of the great
trusts and monopolies in the ooun-
try, with their power over labor and
production and their ability to use
millions Of dollars to corrupt the
suffrage, as against the honest, vot-
ing masses OF America.

THE TREATY AND THE CANAL.

From the New York Tribune.
Amid all the pother about treaties, doc
trineS and what not, it is well to bear in
mind few essential facts. The first OF
these is that the United States wants. OF
its ruling party has from time to time
| thought ii wanted a canal, under its own
direction and control, across the Central
American lSthmus. In behalf of canal
the Clayton Bulwer treaty was negoti-
ated half a century ago. Instead OF pro-
noting. however, this instrument pre-
vented the construction of the canal and
remains today, in the estimation at least
Of the controlling elements Of the ruling
party, the chief obstacle to it. This
treaty should, then, be either modified or
abrogatcd if the canal is to be built; or
otherwise Senator's should distinctly and
primarily consider and declare them
selves upon the proposition that it has al
ready been abrogatcd by British viola
tions. For if it is indsputably still in
/ force and binding, valid treaty is no
more to be disregarded than an act OF
| Congress or an article of the Constitu-
tion. II is not only law, but it is law in
which the honor Of the Government and
of the nation is peculiarly involved. To
get around this obstacle, therefore, and
TO facilitate the construction of the canal,
the SO called y-pauncefote treaty has
been negotiated. Under it the canal
could be promptly constructed, under the
management and control of the United
States, in accord with national honor
and international comfy
