JOHN SMITHS CHANGE.
A Simple Story Which illustrates the
Oppressive Power of
Trusts.

This is the simple story of how
John Smith came to change his party.
His father was republican. His
grandfather was a whig. John him.
self had always voted just as his
father did. From his early youth he
had always evinced an interest in
politics, but it was a quiet interest.
He didn't go much on getting into
arguments. He was always content
to believe that the republicans were
more right than the democrats, so
he voted straight republican ticket
every time.
John keeps a small store in the SUBJ
urbs of large city. He sells grocer
les, oil, candies, stationery for the
school children, and deals little in
meat, especially in the winter time,
when it is easier to keep meat than in
the summer.
John has noticed of late that his
profits amount practically to moth
ing, still he does fair amount of bust
ness; he is steady and does not spend
his money eXtravagantly, tries to buy
pretty good things for his store, al
though he never buys very much and
he keeps things neat and clean about
his place.
A few months ago John got hold
of newspaper with some interesting
articles regarding the growth and de-
structiveness of the trusts. His busi-
ness was quiet, he had nothing else
to read. so he glanced over the ar
ticle. Very soon he became interest
ed and read them very carefully. AS

worried considerably. He can no

No man living can say such stirring

amount of goods shipped and bought
by Uncle Sam, of the increased
amount of business being done and
of the increase in the amount Of
money in circulation. He does some
thing now that he never did before.
He questions the truth of these state
ments. For instance, he wants to
know where the money goes. He is
not making any, his friends in busi-
ness tell him that they are not max
ing any money. Some years ago they
used to make money, and they used
to spend it literally, too, but now
they are forced to play close to the
cushion.
John is doing a little figuring now
all by himself, and is doing consider
able thinking. He wonders why it
is that he and his old friends, those
he knows in town, are not making
any money. He figures that there
are more people around town than
there were in the days when business
was good. He figures that they
should eat as much as ever, in fact
should spend about as much money
as ever. But do they? He answers
himself by saying that he does not
spend as much money as he used to
spend, he doesn't get hold of it to
spend. He figures that what is true
of him is true of other people. The
question, who gets the money, is
what he is trying to figure out. He
looks about the store at his small
supply of goods and recalls from
whom he buys them. Nearly every
thing he has in stock is handled by
trusts. There is no competition. He
not buy at all. They bull the price.
He has to pay a large sum for the
goods, but he cannot always charge a
large price, because the people won't
pay it; for, what is equally as bad,
they can't pay it. What is the re-
suit? The result is that the trusts
make the money. The merchant is
forced to buy his stock from concerns
that tolerate no competition. he is
forced to sell his goods in competition
with his fellow merchants, owing to
the combines that are formed, the
profits of the wholesale houses are
never cut. If the prices of the goods
are raised to the small merchants it
simply follows that its profits are di-
minished. The merchants loss is the
combines gain. And it is equally true
that the combines gain is not only
the merchants loss, but the public's
as well. This is the fact which John
Smith has discovered and about which
he is energetically telling his friends
and neighbors. And as a result of
having at last seen the light upon the
trust question, he has decided to vote
against them by casting ballot for
Bryan Thus ends the simple story
of John Smith.

NEWSPAPER CONVERTS.
Why Some Small Publishers Have
Gone Over to the Itepub-
Iican Side.

One of the ready-made editorials
just now being extensively circulated
among the rural press by the Hanna
campaign committee contains the
statement that no less than 20 news
papers in the state of Minnesota
have abandoned Mr.. Bryan" since
the beginning of this campaign and
gone over to Mckinley. The demo-
cratic national committee has been
at some pains to investigate the facts
and is able to state without reserva-
tion that this is almost wholly un-
true. AS a matter of fact, not more
than two of the English papers in
Minnesota have made this change.
and in both of these cases there was
also change of ownership under
circumstances which give no political
significance to the transfer. On the
other hand, five English papers in
Minnesota have changed from Nc
l>inley to Bryan, making net gain
for the Bryan cause of three English
papers.
1t is unhappily true that some of
the foreign newspapers, most of them
of small circulation, have succumbed
to the Establishments of the Hanna
treasury. At least some of them who
were formerly IN poor circumstances
have of late raised the Mckinley ban
ner and at the same time shown signs
of unwonted prosperity.
1t is well enough to confess that
into this field the democratic nation
al committee is not able to follow Mr..
Hanna, not having at command the
purses of the trusts, railroad pools
and other benefciaries of special priv
ilege as Mr.. Hanna undoubtedly has.

And when he started off down the

few minutes afterward the Swiss
boy reached the hut, and was about to
turn on the dog, which had followed
him in, when he was accosted by a
gruff voice.

The right foot of the man slipped

The boy guard hardly knew what to

Suddenly Bruno. without warning of

With sharp cry the man pushed

eyes wide with amazement, for Bruno

AS the trusts are in control of

can be done to minimize the trust evil
so long as this administration is left
in power. That fact is as plain as
daylight. The Dingley tariff is the
founda tion of hundreds of industrial
combines. Without it the trust or
CARNATIONS could not have been per-
fected as they have been all over the
country. Two things were necessary
for the organization of trusts on a
great scale-a protective tariff which
would exclude competition from
abroad and an administration which
would favor them and not interfere
with their organization and operation.
Both needs were supplied
