careless greeting given by the people
to his approach.
While these conditions threaten the
people, is it not worse than folly to
commit to knaves, or to the ignorant,
or to crafty politicians who are ever
on the outlook for some small partisan
advantage, the keeping and the de-
velopment Of this growing force that
may have so much to do with the fu,
ture welfare of the Republic and Of its
citizens?

'Human rights and constitutional
privileges must not be forgotten in the
race for wealth and commercial SUI
premacy. The government Of the
people must be by the people, and not
by few of the people; it must rest
upon the free consent Of the governed,
and all of the governed. Power, IT.
must be remembered, which is se'
cured by oppression or usurpation, or
by any form CT injustice, is soon de-
throned. We have no right In law or
morals to usurp that which belongs to
another, whether il be property or
power."--Presiden Mckinley.

DENOUNCED
Trusts and Combines.
Resolution Adopted by
Ohio Bankers
At Annual Session In
Columbus.
Formed For Selfish Purpose of
Imitation.
Should Use Every Effort to Prevent
Formation.

Columbus, o., Oct. 26.-(Spl)-The
Ohio Bankers association, which has
been in session here two days, COM
pleted its labors last evening. A BAN
quet on an elaborate scale was held at
the Great Southern hotel, and was at
tended by fully 100 of the wealthy men
Of the state.
At the business session of the asso-
citation a number Of resolutions were
adopted, one approving of the financial
legislation of the last Congress in fix
ing the gold dollar as the unit Of value,
and another bearing upon the subject
Of trusts. This resolution was as fol-
lows:
Resolved, that it is the duty of
bankers, they being largely RESPONSE
bic for the investments made in busi-
ness enterprises, to use great prudence
in this period of prosperity and busl-
ness energy to prvent over-speculation.
They should discourage the formation
of combinations and consolidation OF
companies and corporations, which,
in their operation, deem 1t just to in
discriminatory denounce the formation
of such combinations, as are common
ly called trusts. Our manufacturers
are now entering the field of foreign
markets, and If these combinations, by
their large capital and smaller proper
tionate expense, can achieve success
in foreign markets, they ought not to
be handicapped a moment. IL such
combinations are formed for the pur-
pose of controlling prices in a selfish
way or to secure inflated prices for
the property turned into such consoli-
dations, or to use them as instruments
for speculation in their stocks and
bonds, then bankers everywhere ought
to use their utmost power to prevent
their accomplishment
The association elected these officers
for the ensuing year: President, j. O..
Reber, Dayton; vice president, Edwin
r. Sharp, Columbus; secretary, S. b.
Rankin, South Charleston; treasurer,
Henry G. Herbig, Coshocton; chairman
of executive council, j. Il. Knisely of
Toledo. Mr.. Knisely was also chair
man of the committee on resolutions.
An additional resolution, offered on
the floor and adopted, endorsed the ac-
tion Of the National Bankers associa-
=. ton in demanding that the express
companies be taxed as are the banks
when they compete with the banks in
the sale of exchange money orders,
promissory notes and other securities
The association meets in Cleveland

A dispatch from Milwaukee an
pounces that the national banks of
that city, alarmed by the disclosure
that a New York bank teller had
stolen 100000, have determined to
lock the tellers In their cages and per-
NIT them TO have no egress from the
same during business hours except by
the express permission and under the
surveillance of the bank othcials. Here
IS more treason to the Republican
platform, cardinal principle of which
Is that confidence Is the basis OF pros
perity. How can there be prosperity
when confidence is stranger to even
the high priests of prosperity, the
national banks?

The Ohio Bankers Association, Mt its
session at Columbus yesterday, adopt
ed a resolution denouncing the organi-
zatlon Of harmful trusts, and warning
bankers generally to withhold their
favors from the combinations that are
formed for the purpose of controlling
prices in selfish way, to secure In
fiated prices for the property turned
into such corporations, consultations,
or to use them as instruments for spec
ulation In their stocks and bonds" We
wonder what Mr.. Hanna will have to
say when he hears that the bankers
of Mr.. McKinley's state nave gone on
record as declaring that there are such
things ms trusts and that for the wei
fare OF the business and prosperity OF
the country they ought to be restrain
ed. Mr.. Hanna would like to know
what trusts have TO do with finance?

The Thread trust has just declared n
Sl2,OO0.000 dividend, which, according
10 yesterdays dispatches, Is just one
third OF it's profits FOR the year. One
OF Akron's merchants informs the
Democrat that this enormous profit
has been exacted from the people In
the form of increased charges for the
product OF the trust. The first move
made by the Thread trust after its or.
ganization about year ago was to
make an advance of more than 20 per
cent. in the price OF thread, This Is
only one of several hundred trusts that
have raised the price Of necessarles of
life and about every article used by
the people. 1t requires a great deal or
prosperity to enable the people TO pay

mopopolies.
