ANTITRUST CONVENTION.
Call For Conference to Be Held Mt
Chicago Feb. IL.


Chicago Feb. IL.
To the American People,
We believe the criminal conspiracies
in restraint of trade commonly known
as trusts, which . alarmingly char
acterize the present times, are a men,
ace to liberty. They close the doors of
business opportunity to all but the rich
and powerful. They impoverish the
producer and consumer. They degrade
labor. They have seized upon the ave-
nues OF transportation and poisoned
the fountains of public information.
They debauch the elective franchise
They are public enemies. Unless they
are overthrown there will be establish
ed i'll free America monied oligarchy
on the one hand and a serfdom of the
masses of the people on the other.
They must be destroyed or free gov
ernment is lost. The only power ca
pable of successfully combating the
tyranny of these gigantic capitalistic
monopolies is the aroused and organ
lied hosts of the people to whom the
government and the country rightfully
belong and in whom all power of right
inheres.
Our republic was born of the love of
liberty which in 1916 impelled the
fathers to rebel against the tyranny of
the English monarch and the special
privileges of the British aristocracy,
and which inspired them to pledge to
the cause of human freedom their
lives, their fortunes and their sacred
honor.
The same love of liberty destroyed
the aristocratic institution of slavery,
a power once fortified in the courts
and entrenched in the constitution.
That same spirit now will suffice to
overthrow the new slavery and ty-
ranny of the trusts.
In order to restore the equal rights
of the people and deliver them from
the criminal despoliation of these
monopolistic combinations 1t is i'm
perative that the special privileges
which created and foster them be up
rooted and forever destroyed.
This herculean task can only be ac-
compished by the organization of the
lovers of freedom in every part of the

The national convention called to
meet at Chicago Feb. IL, to consider
measures to curb the alarming en-
croachments of the trust power should
be largely attended. The call is signed
by about 900 men from all sections of
the country. representing all oceupa-
tions and all parties. The dangers of
trusts have been pointed out for some
time by far seeing men, but not until
recently have the evil effects of these
enormous aggregations of capital and
watered stock become so widespread as
to attract general attention and cause
general alarm.

pity it's, tits true" that expansion
Of American territory means expansion
of the rum power. With the blessings
of the nations flag goes the curse OF
the legalized drink traffic. In the year
1898 this country exported to Cuba
malt and other liquors to the value of
s10,796. During the first five months
of 1899 we-that is, everybody who is
responsible, actively or passively, for
the governments liquor policy-sent to
Cuba liquor to the value of $472 ,272. In
1893 the value of liquors sent from the
United States to Porto Rico was $3,66S.
In the first five months of 1899 it was
s191. .422. In 1898 we shipped 1887
worth of liquor to the Philippines; in
the first five months of 1899 we sent
$86,833 worth! When 1t is remember
cd what the use of alcoholic drinks
means to the people of tropical lands.
1t would seem as IL the benevolent"
policy of the United States toward its
new possessions were to kill off the
natives as soon as possible.-Union Sig

Freeland tribune. (Freeland, Pa.) 1888-1921, 1900-01-29

In his message President Mckinley
said he had "every reason to believe"
that the cession of the Philippines to
the United States was in accordance
with the wishes and aspirations of the
great mass of the Filipino people. But
what reasons had Mr. Mckinley for be-
lieving this? He specifies none. And
certainly the burden of proof is upon
him, for the only expression of the
Filipino people so far came through
the ENJOYS of the Filipino republic, and
those expressions were hostile to the
cession. The ENJOYS did all in their
power to bring them to Mr.. McKinley's
attention, but without success. How
can he say that he had every" reason
to believe that the Filipino people ap-
proved the cession, when he refused to
listen to the only expression of senti-
ment that any Of the Filipino people
In an organized capacity ever attempt
ed to make?-Chicago Public.

Samuel Salter and the other men
employed by the machine to stuff the
ballot box in the Thirteenth division
of the Seventh ward are still in hiding
and hunted. Well laid plans for fight,
complaisant bondsmen and well spent
machine money have combined to
make easy their disappearance. I'm
doubtly the way of these transgressors
is hard; yet the path is not so rough
as might be. They are not friendless
these faithful adherents of the ma
chine. Condemned as they are by
every decent citizen, they still retain
the favor, unwilling but profitable, of
the men they served. Few citizens who
know politics are so guileless as to be-
lieve that these clumsy makers of ma
jorities have entered upon their trav-
els, pursued by warrants, with purses
empty and futures unprovided for.
Their knowledge is power, and their
employers know 1t. Had any of them
-Salter, for instance-chosen to tell
all he knew of the ward elections, va
rious forms tb at now obtrude upon the
public gaze in high places would come
hurting earthward. Immunity from
such fate must prove expensive. Men
like Salter do not leave their homes,
their families and their positions--his
was worth $4,000 a year-and enter
upon what may be lifetime of exile,
without excellent assurance that they
will be taken care Of. Pondering upon
these things brings one to the conclu-
sion that there has been heavy draft
upon the machine exchequer within re-
cent days.-Philada. North American.

PUBLIC OPINION.
oDiniOns From Various Sources on
Questions of the Day.

II speak not of forcible annexation,
for that cannot be thought Of. That
by our code of morality would be Grim
inal aggression. ."-President Mckinley
to congress, Dec. 7, 1897
Freeland tribune. (Freeland, Pa.) 1888-1921, 1900-01-29

We have opposed the forcible annex
alton of the Philippines on two purely
material grounds-that we believe it to
be bad business and bad politics. Eth
ical grounds cut little figure in the last
decade of the Nineteenth century. We
have considered 1t bad business be-
cause it will cost many millions to re-
construct the islands. The cost of the
little war there will be but bagatelle
compared to the cost of the task which
follows the war. We have considered
1t bad bolitics because we firmly be-
lieve that it will endanger the success
of the Republican party in the year
1900. The labor vote is lining up
against the Republican party. The
trades unions are declaring against
expansion.-San Francisco Argonaut
(Rep).

Ahab and Jezebel killed Naboth and
took his vineyard. England can kill
Kruger and annex the Transyaal. The
United States can capture and shoot
Aguinaldo and his followers, and hold
the Philippines as a subject colony.
But will the Supreme Ruler of the
universe approve of the killing of
Kruger and Aguinaldo? Or will He
visit the same judgment on modern
oppressors as He did on Ahab and Jez-
ebel? 1t is not a question of power,
but Of right. The wealth of the Philip
pines and the Transvaal, and how
much this country and Great Britain
can profit by taking these countries
should not be considered. III gotten
gains are always a curse.-Meadville

Dear brethren of the "God and
morality party" when you lick a rev.
enue stamp for bank check, tele-
gram, etc, etc., don't forget to do 1t
enthusiastically, as you are helping to
ray the salary of the sultan Of Sulu
and keep up the establishment Of his
harem. The taste of the paste on the
stamp may not be very delectable, but
the Mckinley administration has raised
''old Glory" over the harem and slave
pens OF Sulu, and where the flag has
once been raised, who will dare pull it
