"A trust is a combination of corpora
ions (parties) under one general manage
ment.' (Stan. Dic.) Aguinaldo is exploit
ing himself as the dictator of politics in the
Philippines. Bryan has been proclaimed
a general manager of many parties He
has been nominated thrice and Endorsed
twice as a candidate for President. His
platform asks support from all parties. He
is, therefore, the trust candidate for gen.
eraI manager of the United States. He
has stood at the head of the political trust
for four years. That trust was reorganized
on July 5, 1900. 1t is seeking to destroy
partisan competition and unless its
insatiate greed is checked by the Au-
stralian ballot. the right to vote will soon
be aggregated in a few" and a monopoly
of the right of suffrage formed to maintain
this trust. Its platform stock is watered
with yellow supremacy for the eastern
altruists, with white supremacy for the
Southern n~egrophobists, with 16-to-1 for
the mine owners, and with Asiatic exclu-
sion for the Pacific-coasters. The general
manager has a glib tongue, an elastic con-
science and a wonderful aptitude to seem
all things to all men. This trust has swal-
| lowed, and is trying to digest many po-
litical parties of many natures.

Second-Seventy-two years ago a party
was born that assumed the title of Demo
cratic as a novel, distinct and popular
name 1t elected Jackson, Van Buren,,
Polk, Buchanan and some say Cleveland.
One section of it went into the Bryan trust
four years ago. 1t now puts into the COM
mon stock things regarded OF great value,
to wit: Its name, the Goebel law. the Pedi-
gree clause, the Red Shirts, the United
Confederates, the Solid South, White SUI
premacy, and Negrophobia The Bryan
trust has been good to call itself by thai
name. 1t has given it the vice manager.
A large issue of second-class stock ex-
changeable for offices and spoils has been
issued. The emblem of that party will
stand to cackle, crow or squawl. over the
trust ticket. All the spirit of the govern
ment" so boldly proclaimed in the platform
is to be nodded to approve white as well
as yellow supremacy, and to be merely
worked for more votes. The Constitution,
Declaration. and human rights are in no
sense to stand in its way Those beautiful
sentiments apply only TO whites in the Solid
Philippine islands. These two parties shall
be the forearms of the Bryan octopus.
Third-The trust in 1896 made the white
dollar paramount. This led to the forma-
ton of a party called the Gold Democrats
who preferred the yellow dollar. They are
suspected of having done much harm in
that campaign. The yellow man Is now
made TO stand in front, over and round
about so as TO eclipse the white dollar. and
