DClllOCIaIos
When party comes into power
on a platform and then deliberately
by legislation, kills it's own plat
form, it deserves what the Repub-
licans will receive at the hands of
the people in November next.
Mckinley, the man of marked mo-
bility of character, was nominated
and elected as a bimetallist. He
will gladly sign the Currency bill
now pending in Congress, with the
single Gold Standard as it's chief
characteristic.
Awhile back he was spronounced-
ly silver man; when he became
President he was bimetallist; to-
day he is all for gold. What will
he be next? In December last he
was free trader in his message,
but when Hanna finished with him
he was for taxing the Porto Ricans.
What,wifl be the nextgohangs in
this man without backboneP AT
one time he saw in any coeroive
policy towards the Filipinos "orim-
inal aggression"
To day he is for holding both
Porto Rico and the Philippines as
colonies, outside the Constitution
and yet under the flag. Was there
ever Just another as he isH We
think not. The Currency bill will
make it easy for the Gold Demo-
Gratis who voted either for Palmer
or Mckinley to return to their own
people. Mckinley was elected by
their vote. Tho Porto Rico EN-
pire- Ex- Constitutional bill will di-
vide his people into those who will
cling to him and gold, and who
will be known as Imporialists and
not Expansionists. The true Ex-
pansionists but not Imperialists
will still be known as Republicans.
The Republican party is being
divided by Hanna using the trusts
as sledge with which to drive the
gold wedge clear through its once
compact body. Lookout for great
landslide in November.

rha worst feature Of the trusts i'm

The worst feature of the trusts in
their plundering is the fact, that,
almost without exception, they
charge their American patrons
more than they do the people of
other countries. Their prices are
high at home, because of their mo-
nopoly of the market; while abroad
whore they are met byoompetition,
they reduce their charges. lfthere
were any doubt as to their injust-
ice, or as to the fact that their ex-
istence is due to conditions prevail
ing in this country, and this coun-
try alone, the trusts themselves
furnish it by the lower prices at
which they sell their products in
England than in the United States.
This fact has come to light very
conspicuousIy of late years, as our
exports of manufactured good have
increased. While it is probable
that American manufacturers haYeI
for some time charged more Tor
goods sold at home than for those
exported, they have been able to
conceal the fact, more or less. They
are very anxious to conceal it to.
day, but our exponents have grown
SO large that it is no longer poss-
ible, and the facts that are leaking
out are such as to make the Ameri-
oan people very angry and more
determined than ever to crush the
monopolies which have taken adj
vantage of their necessities, and of
the protection and assistance the
Government has given them.
