The State, Sd inst.
Early yesterday morning the
Savannah train of the Southern
railway ran over and killed white
man just at the east end of the
Eongaree river bridge. The man
had been crossing the bridge along
with a number of other white men
and several negroes. All of them
were carpenters who live In New
Brookland, but have been WORKING
on the houses in the village of the
Olympia mills. 1t seems that
thew have been in the habit of
walking over upon this bridge
every morning. While coming
over yesterday morning they
heard the tram coming and all of
them except Major Thompson
stepped off upon the platforms
placed at intervals upon the bridge.
Thompson, however, thought. that
he could reach the end of the
bridge before the train caught
him, and attempted to do so, but
when he had just reached the end
and before he could clear the
track the train struck him.

Three times during the past month.
the Sugar, Trust has raised the price
of sugar The grocery stores and poor
consumers have paid the advance with
out murmur. They have no protecaI
ton and they knew it was useless to-
complain. 1t has just been learned.
however, that at the present schedule
of prices foreign sugars can. enter this
market at profit.
But the sugar Trust, must have pro-
lection or republican principles will
be violated. Foreign sugar must not
be allowed to enter our markets. IT.
would hurt Havemeyer.
Therefore, trot out the tariff, that
fac old mother of trusts. and let her

THE TRUST ROBBERS.

If ever there was a reasonable doubt
that trusts raise prices, it ought to be-
removed by the evidence of the last
week in May. The competition be-
tween sugar refiners came to an END.
after having lasted nearly two years,
and the price of refined sugar was ad-
vanced three times within few days.
1t goes without saying that the charge
for this advance comes from the pock-
ct of the consumer-the workingman
who buys few pounds for his family.
the child indulging in little candy.
the vast multitude of toilers whose
hard earnings, expended in small sums
at a time, go to form the vast fortunes
of the managers of trusts.
First the large wholesale dealer has
to stand the exaction; he in turn adds
to the price at which he sells to the re-
taller. and the latter adds cent or
so to the bill Of the housewife VINO
buys sugar at his store. and, OF course,
the husband who works at his desk, or
carries dinner pail to the shop mas
ITO pay the additional charge; and 1t 10
by this simple process that iltt4e riVu-
lets of money from every city and vii
lage in the land make Mississippis OF
wealth for the great monopolists.
1t is the same with gas and ice ana
steel, all of which have been raised abb
normally in price, or are about to be.
through the combination of those con-
trolling the product. And 1t should be
understood right now, that, just as the
American Ice company has made
disastrous blunder in raising the price
of ice, so will the local manufacturers
of other necessaries make a signal
blunder If their combination is follow
ed by an attempt at extortion. the
people are aroused on this great issue.
and those who fail to perceive that
fact are blind indeed.

Mr.. Smith thinks that the trusts will
not enter into the campaign to a
great extent, and he says: ITO my
opinion that is a business question
rather than political one and the
Republican party has declared in ia
vor of such legislation as will correct
such evils as exist and control harmful
combinations as clearly and as forcibly
as any party can in honesty and fair
ness"
The people will pay little attention
TO that platform declaration, inasmuch
as that party has had unlimited power
for four years and has done nothing
TO the trusts except to foster them. Mr..
Smith will soon find out that he Is
mistaken, and that the trust question
will enter into the campaign sufficient
ly to cost Mr. Mckinley a million
votes. The gentleman will also find
that there are many other questions
at issue in the coming fight 1t will re-
quire all the time and skill OF Mr..
Smith and the rest of the Republican
spellbinders to defend the many acts
of this administration which will be
attacked. There will be a hundred
charges against the president and his
party. Every one OF them will require
elaborate defense and Mr.. M3Hanna
and his hired men will be very tired
before election day.

not even pay taxes when he can help
it. Practically all of his income is
available for reinvestment
When a few men are compromising
their incomes at the rate of so or 100
per cent and the masses of the people
live from hand to mouth, saving moth
ing and lucky If they can pay their
daily expenses without asking for
charity, it does not take very elab-
crate mathematical calculation to show
that the few will SOON own all the
wealth of the country.
The trust system hastens this pro-
cess. When business was carried on
by a multitude of independent con-
Germs there was always chance for
make little fortune that would give
him proportionately as large share Of
the national wealth as was secured by
his richer competitors But now the
small merchant and manufacturer ara
disappearing. They are being alb
sorbed by the trusts. The bright
young man who would formerly have
account is now the hired man of
trust. He draws salary--a good one.
perhaps. as salaries go. but not one
that could ever enable him to become
a rival Of his employers. For every
dollar he receives for the hire of his
brain he enables his masters to pocket
twenty. The trusts monopolize not
only money but brains. and what
brains formerly produced for their
owners they now produce for the CAPT
talists to whom they are leased.
This Is as fatal as its twin poison OF
military Imperialism to republican
government. 1t is Imperialism In an
other phase. It Is the rule of the few
over the many-the exploitation Of the
many by the few. The Declaration OF
independence talks about all men be-
ing created equal. Is the man to
whom John D. Rockefeller pays $1.5O
a day in any material sense the. equal
Of Mr.. Rockefeller?
