AGENT FOR THE TRUSTS.
Nark Hanna's Position and Princi. pie as COntroIIer of the Re-
 publican Party.

It is no more likely that Senator Mark Hanna, of Ohio. save in the event of failing health, will retire from the lead ership of the imperialist party in the United States than that Cecil Rhodes, of South Africa, will abandon his control, through Colonial Secretary Chamber lain, of the jingo party in Great Britain.
 The two men, Hanna and Rhodes, stand for one and the same principle in their respective countries. The prin- ciple is that of commercialized politics, the prostitution of party principle to the ends of private and corporate gain. Mark Hanna entered American public life as the accredited agent of trusts and syndicates, and is dictating the new American policy of foreign coloniaIism in the interests of trusts and syndi- cates. Cecil Rhodes became a national figure in England as the representative of the South African company, and the war on the Boers is due to the powerful influence of this great corporate body. Hanna works through his control of President McKinley's political fortunes. Rhodes works through his mastery of the mind of Colonial Secretary Cham berlain, ambitious to become prime minister of Great Britain, the highest office under the crown.
 It is not pleasant to contemplate the personalities of these two men as domi- hating the destinies of such govern ments as those of the United States and Great Britain, but the fact of their malign dominance may not truthfully be denied. Hanna's supremacy in this country is even more shameful than the power of Cecil Rhodes in England, for the'reason that it is more directly the peoples fault under our system of gov ernment when surrender of national principle is made. In the case of Hanna the surrender of American principle in wolves startling repudiation of the soundest American doctrines upon which rests the structure of free gov ernment. We are soon to be asked by President Mckinley to make this sur render final and irrevocable. What shall be the s-swer of the American people to the presidents astounding appeal for American stultifeation?- St. Loris Republic.
