Work of the Trusts,

If any man is really looking for light
on the great questions of the day, and
particularly the trust question, for
which the republican party stands. let
him ask his wife or his mother how
prices of articles controlled by these
combines have advanced within the
past few weeks. Manufacturing es
Establishments controlled by the trusts
have been shut down and men thrown
out of work, while on the other hand
the prices of everything these trusts
make have gone steadily upwards.
One of the most striking instances
of this remarkable result is found in
the price of sugar an article that is
necessity and which every man must
have on his table. Since May p, the
price of granulated sugar has gone up
from $500 per 100 pounds to $615, the
last increase having been made August
30. This is the increase to the VIII holesaler
and the increase to the consumer is
correspondingly greater. This trust
applies the screws to the consumer of
its product whenever it thinks the time
has come to squeeze the public and Sc
cure more funds for the millionaires
who own the refineriee.
This is the ninth raise the trust has
made in the price of sugar since it OBJ
tanned absolute control of the market
about three months ago. This last
raise means an added tax to the house
holders of the United States of more
than $50,000,000 a year, and every dol
lar of it goes into the pockets of the
trust except the thousands of dollars
that have been contributed to the re-
publican campaign fund. The trust
can well afford to contribute to Man
ager Hanna, for were it not for the re-
publican tariff there would be no trust
and no control of sugar. IT is fact
proven by statistics that the people of
this country, by reason of the high
duty on sugars, pay twice as much for
that article as do the consumers of
sugar in Germany and England The
republicans profess to be the friends Of
labor and claim that these trusts en-
ploy labor and pay it handsomely. 1t
is another well-esta blished fact that
less is paid for labor in the American

many, where we hear so much about
underpaid labor. A movement is now
on foot to close down some more of the
alleged independent" refneries and
reduce the production. Then the price
will be showed up another notch. All
of this is cheering to the voter and he
may well be asked what he is going to
do about it.
Voters are asking themselves this
question. They will answer it when
they come to cast their votes in Novem-
Der. Mr.. Bryan is explaining daily the
fallacies of the republican claims about
the trusts and proving that the only
effectual method of exterminating
them is to vote ticket that will elect
men pledged to curb them and make
it impossible for combines to control
the necessities that the laboring men
must have. The voter who is now
thinking for himself refuses to longer
have his wages cut down on one end
and his expenses put up on the other.
1t is the republican policy, and if
followed to its logical conclusion will
result in the laboring man having no
wages and being unable to live in the
sweat of his brow at ALL

MIRACLES OF REPUBLICANS
What Is to Be Inferred from
the Brag of Mckinley
boomers.

One of the leaflets sent forth by the
Mckinley boomers tells what repub-
licanism has done for wool, pork and
beef growers
Republicanism has made the wool
grow thicker and finer and warmer and
cleaner. The farmers wore themselves
out washing sheep during the last dem
ocratic administration. Since McKin-
ley was inaugurateG the sheep have
washed themselves. They have not
only washed, but secured, their own
wool and given their owners triple
prices. With four years more of Nc
Kinley they will shear themselves,
carry their fieeces to market and bring
home the money for their masters.
AS for pork, what hasn't republican.
ism done for it? 1t has made the hog3
bigger and fatter and made their flesh
at once more firm and more tender.
1t has impaired to pork, and especially
hams, that beech nut flavor which
tickles the palate of the gourmand. 1t
has beaten the Westphalian article out
of sight and scared all the German
swine breeders out of their wits.
Who doesn't know what republic.
anism has done for beef? 1t has SIM
ply made American beef the only beef
in the world for those who know what
good eating is. Even the Russian gov
ernment comes to Chicago to buy
scores of ship loads of beef for the
great army it is sending to China with
the most pacific intentions. And thih
is only a little bit of what republican,
ism has done for beef

There has been no suggestion that
Mr. Payne's interests in this trust
will cause his retirement from the
committee; no indication that Chair
man Hanna will decline to associate
intimately with the head of a monop-
oily. Also, there is no desire on the
part of Mr.. Payne to suspend his
labors for republican success. Evi-
IDENTIFY he does not think that a re-
publican victory would be a menace
to the trust with which he is so prom

would wear himself out in an effort

But then, to heal the smart,
He'll charm you with his beauty
And sweetness rare impart.
If appetite is tagging,
Just call on DIR. Green.
He'll take you through the meadows
Where beauties rare are seen.
He'll give you green-leaf tonic
And spices from the wood.
One treatment will convince you
His medicine is good.

And to his music bark.
He'll tell you of the woodland,
Breathe secrets of the hills,
And listening to his sweetest notes
Will vanish all your ills.
Therefore am repeating:
Let nature cure your woes;
There's healing in the meadows;
There's health hid in the rose.
Go revel in the gladness

And flowers. birds and beauty

EIkins' Fight.

Senator Elkins, of West Virginia, was
at the white house a couple of days
ago and had long conference with the
president. Mr.. Elkins admits that he
has lost the state so far as he is per-
sonally concerned, but he still pro-
fesses to believe that Mckinley will Sc
cure the electoral vote. Upon the vote
of the legislature to be elected this fall
depends the return of Eikins to the
senate. He is making the fight of his
life and in addition to his own millions
and the large corporate interests he
represents the national committee is
giving him material assistance. Eikns
represents the Hanna side of politics.
He believes i'll buying men and voting

publican. Among these hardy sons of

poll that has been made justifies the
prediction that West Virginia will be
redeemed and will cast her vote for
