NOT SAFE EVEN IN DEATH.

The death of Arthur SewaH. Mr..
Bryans running mate in 1896, was.
curiously enough regarded by a num-
Der of Republican newspapers as
fitting text for political sermons. Here
is one from the baltimore American,
which may be taken as typical:
"He played n very weak second part
in the national campaign of 1896, as he
was not an orator He was bled freely
for the campaign fund, and probably
rejoiced when the struggle was over
and he could go back to his more pro-
fitabe business of buildig good ships
Little has been heard of him since that
time. except that he kept on making
money in his yards. which. under Dem
ocratic policies, would probably have
been closed by the sheriff. Mr. Sewall
was Il well-to-do. substantial New
lInglander, who made the grave mis-
take of allowing himself TO fall a vic
tim of Bryan's most dangerous doctrine
OF national dishonesty"
AS the Sewalls have been proprietors
or a ship-yard at Bath since along
about 1923, there is no apparent reason
why the sheriff should have signalized
the election Of n member OF the family
yards. II is not the argument, how
ever hut spirit and taste of the Ameri-
cans obituary editorial that is note
worthy. We know of no parallel cx-
cept in the field of curious cpitaphs
Thus. in an old English churchyard
sleeps n woman who is remembered TO
succeeding generations as follows:
Here lies. thank God, woman who
Ragged and raved her whole life
through:
Tread gently DER the Wondering form.
Or else you'll raise another Storm"
The Baltimore American. in its notice
OF Mr.. Sewalls death. seems to have
been animated by something of the
same spirit as the writer of this
epitaph.

a growth of but per cent. in ten years

to believe that Richmond has done
better than appears from the census.

ALL BUT REPUBLICANS ARE
SCOUNDRELS, SAYS
ROOSEVELT.

The Rooseveltian larynx Is beginning
to do a little business again to the
great joy of Democratic headquarters.
1t let out whoop to Tom Platt's Sara
toga herd that would have stampeded
less thoroughly tanned cattle. 1t was
the st. Paul speech over again, with
somewhat broader sweep. In that
famous utterance he had Democrats
only standing for dishonesty and dis
honor AT Saratoga he Jumped every
body but Republicans-everyb who
is not going TO vote for Mckinley and
Roosevelt-n with the Democrats.
Here is the nice work all anti -Repub-
leans are engaged in, according to
Roosevelt:
"The men who, directly or Indirectly.
aid MIR. Bryan in this contest must
understand that any vote cast except
for the reelection of President McNin-
ley, is a vote for free silver and for
social disorder, II vote for the partial
repudiation of our debts and for the
absolute upsetting of our financial ana
industrial systems: and upon all such
men will rest forever afterward the
heavy responsibility of having plunged
the business world into disaster, the
laboring world into misery, and of tav-
ing tainted with dishonor the nations
name"
In explanation of his st. Paul speech,
Roosevelt said he did not mean to ac-
cuse gold Democrats" of being for
"lawlessness, for dishonesty and dis
honor, for license and disaster at home
and cowardly shrinking from duty
abroad" He has apparently revised
his views since then, and now finds
that IL they do not support Hon. Theo-
dore Roosevelt for Nice-P President they
will have been guilty OF "tainting with
dishonor the nations name" Then, be-
sides the gold Democrats there are
the Prohbitonists. the Middle Of the
Road Populists, the Social Democrats
and others. They, too, are going to
faint the nations name with dishonor If
they don't vote for Roosevelt, who is
the especial guardian of that name. and
who added UNNECESSARILY to its glory
and prestige by licking the Spanlards
all by himself in Cuba
But the Hero of San Juan was not
content with saying once that every
man is dishonorable who is not n Re
publican. We find him declaring that
against Mckinley and himself ARE ar
rayed the forces of chaos and of evil.
the forces of Reputation and dishonor"
Not merely the Democrats. but the
members of all parties. other than the
Republican, are arrayed against Nc
Kinley and Roosevelt. This, according
to the candidate for the Vice presi-
dency, not only makes them forces OF
reputation and dishonor," but ennis
saries and conductors OF the devil as
well. 'lf our opponents should VIM"
says Roosevelt, '''lt would mean the
loss of the national good name which
we so proudly cherish"
BY all means let Mr.. Roosevelt keep
UP the lick. If the Democratic Ma
tional Committee has any campaign
funds 1t could not do better than invest
them by employing the best throat
specialists at home and abroad. Does
any sane man believe that If the Demo-
Gratis should win at would mean the
loss of the national good name?" How
did the Republican party come to put
u person on it's ticket who can't open
his mouth without being guilty of gross
abuse and vicious libel?

WHY FEW TRUSTS ARE NOW
BEING ORGANIZED.


The Republicans pretend to be
against trusts. They put ,plank in
their platform that was expected to
GUY impress the voter with Republic
can aversion and hatred of the octo-
pus Then Hon. Mark Hanna took his
frying-pan and went after compaign
fat. among these denounced monopo-
lies
The platform pledge was marked in
It's insincerty. Whatever OF virtue
there was in 1t has been effectually
plucked out by the utterances of Re
publican orators and newspapers since.
They find it irlisomc to keep up the
prcFense OF hostility. No denunciation
OF trusts gets into the Republican
newspapers: indeed they are now con-
tending that trusts have had their dav
and are passing.
Iii standardization OF this It is Offer
cd in evidence that few trusts have
been organized in 1900 as compared
with 1893. Undoubtedly this is true.
There are two reasons for IT. in tho
first place. nearly every article of
American use and manufacture was
made the product OF trust in 1899; in
the second place, II vast deal of the
idle money OF the country was put in
TO these concerns There was this
year neither the opportunity for trust
formntioii nor the pressure of capital
to find profitable investment that Joint
~ resulted in the unprecedented mo-
nopoli2ation of productive Industries
last year
Thus in iron and steel alone, there
were at the beginning of this year
twenty-one allied concerns aggrcgating
SECS, 335 600 OF which the Carnegie
company represented $4,000, 900 1t is
neither strange nor encouraging, there
fore, 10 ind that during the present
year but $5S,000,000 has been put in
steel and iron. Not only were there
the general iron and steel companies
included in this aggregate, but wire
and nails were the products Of a trust
with $90,0O0,000 capital; bolts and nuts
were made by trust with $4,000, 600;
tubes by four allied concerns COM
manding $50, 600; roofing by a So
100000 trust. There was very little
room in iron and steel products for
new combinations. The field was al
ready pre- enpted when the year began.
Tie same thing may be said of tex
tiles-the American Wooen Company.
with Il capital of 100000, 600, controlling
MooIens. The American Writing Paper
Company, with s420Oo.00O, and the
Union Eng and Paper Company. al
ready controlled paper. The American
Smelling and Refining Company. with
SOS, 100000. had 81 monopoly OF lead.
Two companies. with $G5, 100000 capital
controlled fertilizers. The American
Window Glass Company, with $l7 900.
0G0, controlled glass The same thing
could be said Of sugar, asphalt and ce
sneiit. brick. liquor, tobacco, salt. coal
ind coke. rubber, -four, baking pow
der. starch, cotton oil. matches. leather.
and hundred other articles of every
day use.
The falling off in trust organizat ton
therefore means merely that there are
not many more worlds to conquer.
ezcarly everything that man needs or
luses was already the object of a mo-
nopoly when this year began. Ger
tainiy the fact that SO few trusts have
been formed this year can not be e,,-
