THE TRUST ISSUE.
What Newspaper That Supported Me
Kinley I'm 1896 Says.

What a Newspaper That Supported Me
Kiniey in 1896 Says.
The Indianapolis Sun, as everyone
knows, Is not a democratic newspaper.
AS everyone knows, also, it supported
Mckinley for president In 1896. Now
here is what it says in this month of
August, 1900, with reference to Senator
Fairbanks recent statement that trusts
are not an issue in this campaign:
"In recent interview, Senator Chas.
w. Fairbanks. of Indiana. told his cues
toner that trusts are not an issue in
this presidential campaign, because mo
party upholds trusts
"Mr. Fairbanks is in error. Trusts
are an issue, because the people will it
so, and both presidential platforms
agree.
at is probable that mo party upholds
trusts but the fact remains that, dur
ing the past four years, the combina
tions of capital into trusts have been
greater in number than ever before
known in the history of this country.
The sums of money involved, alec,
have been 80 enormous and Overwhelm-
ing as to brighten the public. Natur-
ally the party in power at the time
these combin atoms formed and thrived
will be held responsible. This is espe-
cially true since the United States sttor-
ney general, representative of that
party, has repeatedly, during his term
of office, taken action that was of ma
terial benefit to the vast combinations
Neither by word or deed has he indi-
Gated the slightest opposition to the
trusts.
However, 1t is not q question
whether or not q party supports the
trusts. DO the trusts support certain
party? That is the point.
"Does any one know of trusts that
are contributing to the support of Mr.
Brysn's candidacy? If there are such,
the Sun Is not aware of it. Does any
one know of trusts that are supporters
of Mr.. McKinley's candidacy Yes
Mr.. McKinley's campaign management
is in the hands Of the members OF
trusts. There is no getting away from
this fact. Furthermore, it is unQues'
tionably true that some of the largest
contributors to the national republican
campaign fund are trusts. This is true
simply because, during Mr.. McKinley's
term, trusts have profited enormously
Competition has been throttled, and al
most everything we eat, wear and need
In this world is now absolutely con
trolled by trusts. Every man and
woman who considers the expense of
living knows this to be true.
ayes, trusts are an issue. They will
continue to be an issue so long as they
exist as at present. The fact cannot
be thrust aside by q majestic wave OF
the hand, even though the deprecstory
gesture is made by 80 graceful and
distinguished gentleman as the senior
senator from Indiana

statement Friday that the Demo
cratic party had dictator in the per
son of w. j. Bryan greater than Mark
Hanna ever was. We would like to
ask when W. j. Bryan ever dictated
the policy of the Democratic party. He
has made a noble stand for principles
| which he believes TO be conducive TO
the greatest good Of the people, but
never has he offered 20 force them upon
the party with which he atfiliates.
When Ex-senator Hill interviewed
him on the subject of Is to |, he said:
81 have always favored specific dec
| laration, but if the convention rules
otherwise, | will be satisfied. There
are number of men who are willing
to make the race for president; let
them nominate one of them" He did
not say: "You must declare specifically
for 16 to and nominate me" but he
reserved the right to withdraw from
the race if the platform was not agree
i HDle 10 Hltu d ilSu1 WhiOh oily 0oAA
date for the high office of president
should reserve and which places him in
the class with Henry Clay, who said: u
would rather be right than president.
He is fighting for principles, not for
office
| What a contrast between the tirmness
he has exemplified and the ilexibility or
the republican candidate. Mckinley
stood upon platform of international
bimetalism until Dictator Hanna said
Gold" and he immediately mounted
that platform and gave us the gold
standard. The platform upon which
he now stands denounces monopolies,
Notwithstanding his administration has
given us more than six hundred trusts.
He said concerning the Puerto Ricans:
"Our plain duty is to give them free &C.
cess to our markets" But Hanna said
Fifteen percent" and Mckinley changed
his mind. He promised the Puerto
R,cans freedom; he has since pro
claimed himself their king. he told
the Filipinos that "forcible annexation
was criminal aggression" he is now
asking, "When the flag Is once planted
who shall take it DOWN."
1t Is remarkable what a rapid evoln-
ton our president sometimes accom-
plishes. He can change his mind In
fifteen minutes in less time if Mark
Hanna wants it.
Whether Bryan is dictator or not.
it is evident that he is his own man,
and if given the presidency, he WfH De
l/T. No trust will control him. The
bewitching smile of the rich will not
eliminate from his heart his regards
and sympathy for the poor. No fifteen
minute changes of the mind will then
deceive the American people, and
Crown Prince Marcus Caesar can con-
troll himself with the knowledge OF
having had good time with William
the Conqueror while it lasted. Any
man who lacks the executive ability to
be his own master is not fit subject
to be the chief executive of great ma
ton. DEMOCRAT.

The passing of John ]. ingalls,,
former senator from Kansas, re-
moves from the field of American
politics man who, for many years,
was one of its most picturesque fig
ures. He was too fiery, independent,
fearless and bitter to rise to the
great height to which his abilities
entitled him, but he will be remem-
bered long after lesser but more
successful public men have been
forgotten.

Do WE WANT WORLD POWER

Be it remembered that MIR. Nc
Kinley has increased the army from
$1,000 TO 100000 men and without
consulting congress. Does it not
seem that he is usurping authority ]?
Napoleon equipped large army
and with their bayonets to protect
him declared, 81 am the state" By
the power of the army Napoleon
transformed the republic of France
into an absolutism.
Compare with Napoleon the acts
of our president, whom they say
looks like Napoleon. Without con-
sent of congress he enlarges the
army without the verdict of the
people he inaugerates policy of
conquest and assumes dictatorship
over the PHILIPPINES; he tramples
upon the constitution and puts the
great Declaration of independence
in the background. Julius Caesars
ambition never assumed such brazen
effrontery.
Are we willing to sanction mill
tarlsm as the president prescribes
He says that we must become a
world power and the army is
needed. This means that our boys
are to be enlisted, not for the pro
lection of our liberties, but to graf
ify the vain ambition of despotic
rulers. Are the mothers of the
country willing to see their boys
torn from their arms and slaugh-
tered in order that our rulers may
boast that America is world
power in the military sense?
We are world power today in
every sense that an enlightened
people can desire. We are ready al
all times to defend our institution.
and we need no standing army fol

TO INDEPENDENT SUBSCRIBERS.

The Marshall County Independ-
ent, as is Its custom during the
months of July and August, is send
ing out statements to subscribers
showing their Indebtedness. These
statements are sent that subscribers
may know their arearages and, if it
is possible, we hope that they will
remit shortly, as this is the dull sea-
son for newspapers. 1t takes
money to publish paper of the
high grade of the Independent and
it is simply because funds are needed
that these reminders are sent out
We hope that all who receive these
statements, will receive them in the
spirit that the publisher intends. II
you can remit at this time, we will
be especially thankful.

Horn Maker Conn has decided
to take the tariff and money question
out of politics. He his issued a
campaign pamphlet giving his ideas
on the matter, but as he has chosen
to violate the postal laws by circu-

his paper, the Elkhart Truth, the
average man will doubtless give his
theories to the waste basket and
