A Trust in Evidence.

1nere is man IN trenton, N. J.,
who, despite the declaration of the
leader of the Republican party to the
contrary, asserts that there is at least
one trust in the United States.
He testifies to the fact In an adver-
tisement offering for sale his house at
81, 900 less than he paid for it, and pro-
posing to throw in, '.by way of a trad
ing stamp" a lot on the river front
1872 feet square.
The New Jersey man knows of his
own knowledge that there is a trust,
for it has stepped on him and squeezed
him out of job that he had held for
nearly quarter of a century. He
talks about it in the following unique
fashion: ELECTION is over. Prepare
yourselves for shock. There is at
least one trust. l know it. It is named
American Bridge company; capital,
$40, 1000, 900. 1t is composed of twenty
eight of the largest bridge works in
the United States, among them the
New Jersey Steel and Iron company of
this city, by whom I was employed for
twenty-three years and eleven months.
No one has my job now, for the simple
reason that the bridge trust found
twenty-eight corps of estimators and
Of
are no other bridge works in this Ticin-
ity. l don't want to compete with
those useful gentlemen who dig our
sewers, and | do want "a full dinner
pail
These are the reasons that moved
the New Jersey man to advertise his
home for sale and strike out for pas
lures new.
Many thousands have been placed in
the position of this frank-spoken Tren-
tonian by the trusts, for whose nom
existence Mr.. Hanna has vouched. and
it takes no man with the gift of clair
voyance to discern that, within the
next few years. these jobless thousands
will be multiplied many fold.
One of the gentlemen who gave ad-
vice few days ago why the Demo-
cratic organization should disband-a
Mr.. Catchings of Mississlppi-and al
low men of the ilk of Don Dickinson,
Little Eckels and j. Starchtrust Nor
ton to reform it, suggested that Democ-
racy should drop" among other
things. .'trying to be too oppressive to
the trusts"
II the Democratic party has stood
for anything at all in the hundred
years of its history it has certainly
stood for .'the greatest good to the
greatest number aud it does not see
any valid reason in ethics or political
consistency why, at this stage of ex-
isteuce, when the whole political and
material interests of the country are
sought to be seized and administered
by the imperial commercialism known
as trusts, that it shall recede from this
fundamental rule of party teaching and
conduct.
Democracy's mission is to fight these
greedy monopolies, not for the sake of
depressing" them, or of depressing
capital IN any form legitimately en-
ployed. but to prevent them from '.op-
pressing" the people. crushing out all
minor interests that dare compete with
them and using money to corrupt cleo
tions and to purchase legislation.
The American people can not expect
the dominant party that is in partner
ship with the trusts to relieve the VIC
tins of the trusts from oppression This
relief must come through the Demo-
cratic party or not at all.-Kdnsas City
