Shot by an Anarchist.

King Humbert, of Italy was shot
and almost instantly killed by an
anarchist last Sunday. The an.
archist might be fifty termed the
abnormal fruit of centuries of OPP
preston and tyranny by the kingly
class. Anarchist is a favorite
epithet of the class of imitation
aristocrats in this country, applied
TO those who uphold and contend
for the rights of the people against
the usurpations of tie trust, cor
poration and specisl privileges
enjoyed by an exclusive set, every
one of whom uphold the present
administration in its violations OF
the constitution, which is the in
cipient stage of that tyranny which
has trampled on the rights Of
humanity in Italy and brought
forth anarchism.
1t is only question of time til
the economic system mapped oul
and being pursued by the Mckinley
administration would breed anarchy
as it has in Italy. But thanks tt
the intelligence and love of liberty
of the American people it will mo-
be allowed to run its course bu
will be nipped in the bud mex

The Republican platform says: 1.-THE
volume of money in circulation was never
so great per capita as it is today" The
party statisticians place it at about $24
which can readily be proven is too high
In 1865 the per capita circulation was $50
so stated by the Treasury Department
So much for Republican veracity on
money.
The same veracious platform declares
"We recognize that interest rates are a
potent factor in production and business
activity, and for the purpose of further
equalizing and of further lowering the
rate of interest. we favor such monetary
legislation" etc.
The way to lower interest is to make
money scarce, which lowers prices.
When prices are low business is dull and
men in business cannot afford to pay high
interest for the use of money. The plat
form is full of just such contradictory
philosophy.

Jim Kesne ON Trusts.

"What do you say about the increrse Of
trusts, Mr.. Keene?"
I'm America today" he said, 1--WE may
say 400 men control tie manufacturing
and prominent businesses of the country.
The great question today has come to be
that of monopoly.
mo independent man can go into bus.
mess without the monopolists coming
down and crushing him out. In this way
It has come to be that he has a much
better chance in England, where monop-
oily tyranny does not exist-or at all
events is not so strong.
with few men thus in, control they
can fix wages and they can make it SO
that money is either easy or tight, as
they choose. IF any other man tries to
compete with them he is simly crushed.
The result is that today in the United
States there are no more independent
men except the farmers"
If Mr.. Keene investigates the farmers
he may be induced to change his mind.

rbe increasing expenses of the COVER

The increasing expenses of the govern
nlent, while they should be carefully
looked after and leaks promptly stopped
that is not SO important as dividing the
expenses more evenly among the taz
bearers. The laboring and useful bus
mess class, who are the brains and muscle
of the country, pay vastly greater por
ton of the taxes than are their just share
The big incomes which should be taxed
as high as the protective" tariff take:
the humble cities, pay not one cent. A
moderate per centage laid on them woult
produce several hundred millions an

Richard Croker was surely right VIII

Richard Croker was surely right when
he said Bryan will beat Mckinley. It is
in the air, written in the faces OF the
Republicans themselves. It's as it should
be. Every one who looks sharply into the
situation feels as Croker describes. It is
written in the faces of the Republicans
The rank and file of the Republicans fee
that Mckinley ought to be defeated and
Bryan elected. They feel in their very
bones that the set Mckinley is controlled
by is dangerous gang of constituencies

Full Dinner Pail Of the Working han

A correspondent asks the meaning of
"a 'full dinner pail at reduced prices' in
case Bryan is elected. The Republican
party three years ago deluded the work.
ingnien- throughout the country on the
question of the full dinner pail" They
forgot to say anything about the increased
price ofthe contents.
In his tin bucket workingman with a
good plentiful dinner usually carries a
pint of sweetened coffee with milk, few
slices of buttered bread and meat, and, if
he can afford it, an apple or bit of fruit of
some kind.
When the Republican party took the
helm of state the pon1ised change in the
wages and the menu of the workingman
did not take place. But there was an
alarming and characteristic Republican
change in the price ofhis dinner.
In the first place the Tiuplate Trust
raised the price of his pail. The Coffee
Trust tilted him few cents, and the Milk
Trust followed suit. The Sugar Trust,
not to be outdone in practical Republic
canism, extorted its mite from the owner
of the pail.
His meagre slices of bread were raised
in price by the Flour Trust, and his
tough slices of meat were seasoned with
an additional charge by the Beef Trust
The Salt Trust furnished his salt at adj
vanced figures, and to endure all this Coo
gave him patience and good appetite
The country was prosperous, and thi'
was the workingman's share of the pros
perity. His dinner pail was full, and hi
wages were the same, but the amount hi
had left in his pocket after paying for hi:
dinner was considerably reduced. New
