Such illustrations might be multi. piled all along the line. When Bryan is elected the trusts will have to cease taking toll from both consumer and producer by paying low wages and exacting monopoly prices. Whatever legitimate profit comes to organized capital will have to be made by an increase of sales and the offering of high-grade goods at reasonable prices.
 Illegal Discrimination
 Such trusts as the American Tobac. co company have been in the habit of forcing, retail dealers to handle no goods but theirs. Let Bryan be elect ed and the attorney general whom he appoints will quickly show these trusts that such illegal discrimina- tions against individual manufactur- CTS will not be permitted.
 Then, too, when trust or a rail- way combine attempts to rob the peo- pie, let the president of the combine be arrested and punished, not some agent of the concern.
 The election of Bryan will mean de- liverance from trust rapacity and self. ishness.

THE COSTLY COAL STRIKE.
Interesting Figures and COmparf. sons Which Set People
 Thinking.

The Helena Independent, of Helena, figures in regard to the strike in the anthracite region of Pennsylvania.
 It is estimated that if the anthra- cite coal strike shall last two months the men will lose ss.000,000 in wages; the operators $20.000,0O0 and the rail- road companies like amount. Here is curious condition, we'll il- lustrating the power of private mo- nopoly to rob the producer, arbitra- rily fix the terms and conditions of labor, and appropriate the fruits of industry for the benefit of the few at the expense of the many.
 It is estimated that some 115,o0O or 12o,000 workers will lose Ss,oo0, 900 in wages. while few monopolies will lose s20, ,0oo,00o. In other words, these few monopolists will get two and a half times as much for mere owner ship as the great army of laborers get for doing the work
 Every sloo got from mining and marketing the cold is distributed as follows:
 To the coal miners ..........,......S1 Is a To the monopolists ..................... 41 67 To the railroads ..................... 4l 67 Aotdi .s...........s.-.......... $lU U Leaving the railroads out of &C., count, every s10o got for mining the coal is distributed as follows: 10 the miners .S28 57 To the monopolists .................... T 43 The railroads get two and half times as much for carrying the coal to market as the miners get for dig ging it out of the ground.
 Private monopolies are indefensible and intolorable," says the democratic platform; and these private coal mo- nopolies are an apt illustration of that declaration.

AGAINST LABOR UNIONS.
The Trusts and the Republicans Are Together Against the
 Workingman.

The concessions offered by the hard coal trust to its striking miners em- phasize the fact that the real war is on organized labor. The coal trust is bent upon the destruction of the Unit ed Mine Workers of America.
 Mark Hanna has shown that there is close alliance between the coal trust and the republican party. In the interest of the latter the former quick ly agreed to pay the miners a trifie more money. But it tied string to this agreement. It would pay the ad- vance. Yes. But it would do this only as the price of disunion. And Hanna accepted the condition.
 So the miners may get paltry ten per cent. increase of wages through Mark Hanna's powerful influence if they will consent to destroy their own organization. And when their organ ization has been destroyed, they may then accept any terms the coal trust shall see fit to offer. They will then be powerless to resist.
 Organized labor may make up it's mind to this: Organized monopoly has decreed its destruction. And the ac- tion of Mark Hanna in accepting J. Pierpont Morgan's condition, follow ing President McKinley's suppression of unionism in Idaho with United States troops at the behest of the Standard Oil trust, indicates plainly enough that organized labor has it's deadliest foe in the republican party.

M'KINLEY OR BRYAN.
It Is Either the Republic or thu Empire, Which VIII You
 Vote Fort

Either Bryan or Mckinley will be elected president the first Tuesday after the first Monday of next month.
 Either the republic or the empire will be indorsed.
 If Bryan wins, it will mean the end of war of conquest for unholy greed.
 If Mckinley wins it will mean that that war will go on; that American ideals will be repudiated; that nation. al faith will be betrayed; that the rights of man will be denied; that the Declaration of Independence will be- come a mere mockery; that the con stitution will be ignored; that polyg- amy and slavery will be endorsed, and that all for which we have stood and of which we have boasted and of which we have been honestly proud during a hundred and twenty-five years of glori- ous national history will be put be- hind us for a mean and ignoble ambi- tion.
 The citizen must choose. He may affect to believe that there is some other duty before him, but that of de- ciding between the republic and the empire. But if he shall vote for any other man than for Bryan he will vote to strengthen the arm of imperialism and to cripple that of free government.
 The issue cannot be lodged. It is either the republic or the empire. Which shall it be? Which does the citizen want?
 If he desires the republic to stand he must vote for Bryan.
 If he is careless whether it stand or

YALE PROFESSOR FOR BRYAN.
pr. George T. Ladd Is Against Im-
 Derialism After His Trip In the Far West.

George T. Ladd, head professor of 'he department of philosophy and psy- chology at Yale university, who has just returned from trip around the world, has become an ardent anti-im- perialist through his personal investi- gations into conditions in the far east. Prof. Ladd spent about four months in Japan and the whole of one win ter in India and came into contact with the foremost educators and statesmen of the orient. He personal ly looked into conditions in the east and the prospects for American and western civilization and has come to the conclusion that America is mak- ing great mistake to enter the Phil lppines as ruler and possessor. Prof. Ladd said:
 "The attitude of the United States retaining the Philippines is en- tirely unjustifiable. It was wrong from the very beginning, fror the moment when the commissioners of
 UT government forced Spain to sell ds the islanos. It is impolitic, im- moral and contrary to all of our tra- ntions. The chances are that the Fili- 2inos will always keep in rebellion ill they either have self government r are exterminated."

Republicans Changing Views.

The republicans used to be for bi- metallism; now they are for the gold standard. Republicans used to be- heve in the greenback; now they have to turn over and say that they believe that bank notes are better. They used to believe in the income tax; now they are against the income tax. They used to oppose the trusts; now they defend the trusts. They used to be against large standing army; now they are for a large standing army. They used to be opposed to a large national debt; now they stand for a currency system that can only be per manent when based on . perpetual! debt.-William J. Bryan.

William Mckinley and William Jennings Bryan stand out in the bold est possible contrast as representa- tives of hostile forms of thought, of opposite views regarding questions of public concern. The democratic can didate for president of the United States is the strong man of the peo- pie, the supporter of the constitution. The republican candidate is the weak and vaclIlating creature of ,ne money power, the servant of overmastering trusts, the ambitious seeker after an imperial power, sternly forbidden by the organic law which he has fragrant ly violated.-Philadclphia Times.
