That Hanna Trust Plank.

The following 10 the so-called trust
plank framed at the republican con-
vention in Philadelphia:
I'VE recognize the necessity and
propriety of the honest cooperation of
capital to meet new business condi-
tions and especially to extend our rap
idly increasing foreign trade, but we
condemn all conspiracies and CONT bin
atoms intended to restrict business, to
create monopolies and to limit pro-
duction or to control prices, and favor
such legislation as will effectually re-
strain and prevent ali such abuses,
protect and promote competition and
secure the rights of producers, labor
ers and all who are engaged in indus
try and commerce.
With this plank the republican cam
paign managers intend to play upon
the credulity of the American people.
The full extent of the hypocrisy in
volved in this attempt to mock the in
tclligence of the voters with insincere
declarations can only be realized when
we remember Marcus Aurelius Hanna
LII. D., wrote the important planks of
the platform, that he owns and con-
trolls the republican party through it's
machinery. and that this same Hanna
has made the following public decla-
rations regarding trusts:
The English government is as good
as ours"
Large combinations of capital
have existed for 200 years in Eng
land"
The great commercial success of
EnrrlapA hao haa, Hnn 10 n
trusts.
Those com binations known as
trusts are not a political question at
all. They are simply and purely a
business question.
The trusts have the best men in
the country at their head. believe
in their organization.
Il think the trusts will result ben
eficially to the men who work in the
factories"
What harm can the trusts do the
people of this country"
The formation of trusts is step
forward"
They are not intended to increase
profits, but to reduce cost
Trusts! There's no such thing"
The story that l have defended
trusts in any of my speeches is abso-
lutely false"
The animation of corporations
is simply the evolution of business;
don't know of trust in the United
States"
Il say they are not trusts. II they
are. prove it,
There is not a trust left in the
United States. There never were more
than about a half-dozen, and they all
nave been dissolved and converted
into large corporations"
Comment is unnecessary. The in
telligence of the American people will
brand the declaration of the Hanna
platform on trusts.

young New Yorker on the Hanna
ticket is best shown by the following
account of what transpired on the
description is furnished by the CORES
pendent of the republican Chicago
Tribune and must be presumed not
to be prejudiced against the success
of the Philadelphia ticket. Mr..
Hanna was in his headquarters at the
Hotel Walton arranging the few re-
manning details of his convention.
He had only to settle the vice presi-
Dental contest. so-caIled, and his
work would be finished. He sent for
Mr.. Dolliver, of Iowa, and crushed
that interesting young mans boom
between the thumb and forefnger of
his doughty right hand. Mr. Doll-
yer went away properly subdued and
abandoned all his am billions to hold a
place on the ticket. Hanna then sent
for Gov. Roosevelt, who of course
came promptly at call. What hap
pened then is thus described by the
Tribune correspondent:
will you, Gov. Roosevelt, accept the
nomination for vice PRESIDENT"
''At your hands and under the cir
cum stances l will accept it, replied
Gov. Roosevelt. II am always ready
to act at the behest of the party, but
not at the behest of an individual"
Senator Hanna then addressed Gov.
Roosevelt in the most friendly terms,
the olive branch thus extended was
accepted by Gov. Roosevelt, and the
two shook hands in the most friendly
manner. Senator Hanna then asked
Gov. Roosevelt to name the man who
should present his name to the con-
vention, and the governor graciously
told Mr.. Hanna that the honor of
making the selection should be his.
So ends the political career of an in
teresting and at one time supposedly
forceful independent in politics"
Mark Hanna has swallowed Roosevelt,
independence and all, and the ticket 10
