Democratic CLUBS.

New York, Oct. 6.AOhio alone con
tributes 400 clubs to- the roll of the
National Association of Democratic
Clubs. The other applicants for mem
bership at national headquarters, 1870
Broadway, numbered 2s5 clubs, mall-
ing the total for the day Gss clubs.
The enrolment was another record
breaker. and makes it evident beyond
doubt that the association is he live
Hest factor that ever entered into II
political campaign.
The belief in the strength of union
when battle is to be fought has
spread broadcast in the campaign, for
it is realized that democracy must
present a solid and united front TO
the army of corruption and general
lnavery if it is to win the fight for
the people. The plan for a national
convention of association clubs has
been enthusiastically received in every
part OF the republic, and to its in
dorsement is attributed much of the
impetus recently given to the club
movement.
The Ohio clubs entering the assoc
citation comprise the League of Ri
metallic Clubs of the Ohio Valley, and
represent probably 100000 voters. All
of these clubs have notified the parent
body that they will send delegates to
the quadrennial convention at Indian
paolis OH October :, and 4.
The convention at indianapolis
promises to be II brilliant affair.

GRAIN DEALERS FORM A TRUST
latest Monopoly Is Conspiracy to
Rob Farmers of Profits.

latest Monopoly Is IL Conspiracy to
Rob Farmers of Profits.
Chicago, Oct. 6.-P. +. Dowie, mem-
Der of the executive committee of the
National Travelling Mems association,
and of the Commercial Travellers
Antitrust league, has arrived in Chi
cago. He has just completed an ex-
tensive tour of Missouri, Nebraska
and Iowa.
II have recently discovered" said
Mr. Dowie, I" II gigantic conspiracy to
rob the farmers of the country. This
latest product of monopoly includes
in it's membership about coo big grain
dealers and elevator men in the terri
tory extending from ST. Paul on the
north to Kansas City on the south, in
Guiding the states OF Wisconsin, Min
nesota, North and South Dakota,
Iowa, Nebraska and Kansas.
"All the 600 and more members of
this newest thing in trusts are
pledged to buy grain at one and half
cents low, that is below the cash
price, and to store for not less than.
one and half cents profit. The as
sociation engineering the scheme is
to fix the selling price. Forty per
cent. of the profits are to go to the
association, the balance going TO the
dealers who are parties to Tie swim
die.
Grain dealers in the sectiona where
the trust is at work have been In
duced to sign contracts and regular
system OF inspection guarantees
against cutting prices. Grain stations
are established here aud there, und
ct each station the trust has an agent
who has authority to inspect the
books of amy member OF the ussocia-
tion. y membership fee Of 500 Is
charged. n fine OF $500 is imposed il
the agreement is broken, and $50 Is
charged for reinstating member
who has violated any of the terms of
the pact.
"On its part, The association guar
antees the grain dealers, who enter
| into the agreement, protection from
changes in the ownership of elevators
where they may have their grain
stored. Ii an elevator attempts to
break away or run independent, they
guarantee TO have its supply of cars

Since discovered the conspiracy,
n few days since, have been collect
ing information concerning 1T. as
certained that the promoter and or
ganizer of the trust is an ardent re
publican and superintendent OF one
of the largest elevators i'm the com-
! try.
The practical workings of this
combination to rob the farmer are not
difficult to see. by getting all the
grain dealers of 81 community en-
rolled as members, it is impossible for
the farmers of that section to sell TO
amy one outside the trust or to ship
their grain away They must stand
the loss of cent and "a half bushel

to find a market. | ann not ready to

And crimsoned DER with shame antici-

The wealth of foliage the summer gave.
Across bare fields the startled quail
Uprising whistle clear their mellow call.

High up in ncoa-day azure. while at morn

Envelopes all the earth, and caught with

The flmy and concentric maze
The spider spins, thousand dew-drops

Along the roads and in the hedge rows

And ends the sweet october day.

Headquarters National Democratic
Committee, Chicago, Oct. 8, 1900.
''NIilitarism," cries flamboyant Ted
dy" Roosevelt, lis mere DOGGY Gre
a1ed by timid democrats in the hope
that it may stampede some few timlel
republicans. Mark Hanna and the
entire republican press OF the country
emphasize and reiterate the same
claim. They point to our soldiers,
nearly a hundred thousand in num-
Der, tighting under the American flag
or foreign soil, and have asked, Can
these ever endanger the liberty, per-
sonal or political, of American citi-
zcns?' bah, the claim is nbsurdl
they assert. Mark Hanna even adds.
in his usual elegant way, that the
man is an ass who says or believes
any such thing.
The more thoughtful among the cit
liens of our republic have, however,
feared for some time that there was
u deliberate movement ON foot, headed
by the great corporations of the coun-
try ana carried out by their tools and
accomplices i'll the American CON
gress, to create a force, military in it's
lldtuIe, tliaU SlfOulll DE at lilG service
of organized capital in all contests
with organized labor, which it was
feared might arise. The trust bar
ons may be 'lnscrupulous, but no one
should be so unwise as to call them
fools. They know. as he American
people know. that hundreds OF thou
sands of laborers arc forced to work
for wages that afford only a bare sl!s-
sistence. Wages are so small some
sistence. Wages are So small sg.ac
times that the laborers are denied the
bare necessities of life. While he
American people are loath to question
the established order. while they cling
to the things that are as long as they
can be endured, it was absolutely GER
tain: was foregone conclusion that
sooner or later the American laborel
would eater vigorous and forciblc
protest against the slavery that was
being imposed upon him. When such
protest came, it was foreseen by
the trust barons that their interests
would be ieopardized if there was not
existing i'm the United States not only
spirit of militarism hat would toll
rate the uncalled for use of the mil
itary arm in civil affairs, but also a
force of men ready to carry out the
behest of the trust magnates.

ing Cnelf eerIQgm the moro complete.
Organized wealth, hitherto relying up-
on hunger, now brings to Its aid the
bayonet In order to render It's con-
quest of labor lasting one. The
trusts have the full aud complete sane
ton of the republican state aud fed
eral authorities, and In their own Pc
culiarly and CHASTITY manner arc
spending their lll-gotten and blood
stained gains In IN effort to "perpet-
uate the present administrator"
The situation In Pennsylvania has u
meaning for the whole country. Or
ganized labor everywhere realizes
that its existence is ut stake, and or
ganized labor, not only i'll Pcnnsyl-
vania but throughout the whole coun-
try, is propounding these questions
to the present administration:
will you permit the trust to coin
dollars from blood and crush with it's
mailed hand the promptings of hui
manity7
will you by your silence make star
walton part of the science of indus
trial economy?
will you remain dumb while thou
sands are engaged in Il hopeless strng-
gle against the allied fortunes of al
lied wealth and fortified villainy2
Are You more interested in half
dozen coal barons than you are a
half a million starving coal miners?
Are you going to remain silent
brutal assassination Of labor by the
money 'Mafin2'"
These questions must be answered.
You talk of the full dinner pail
There arc ut the present time i'll one
single state of the union more than
100000 men whose pals have not been
full for tn. last four years and whose
pals are now as empty-as your
promises.
These men are not the drcanlers OF
society. They eve workers. Their
children work when barely old enough
to todtlls. They are, above all, human
beings. This strike is caused by one
of the greatest cutrages of the CEN
fury, and il is going to thrust itself
into the political life of the repub-
lican purity. 1t is complete answer
to their platitude regarding "Mckin-
ley prosperity" that cannot be barred
out either by silence OF meaningless
phrases. What message has the re-
publican party for the laboring man
in this, his hour of need? 1t cannot
relieve him of the burdens imposed
by the trust, for 1T claims through its
spokesman that there are no trusts
III cannot give him cheaper products
OF any kind, either food or clothing,
because it imposes the tariff in order
that products may sell higher 1T
cannot relieve him of the burdens OF
militarism. for which the militia NOW
in Pennsylvania is an evidence, be
cause it says there is no militnrism
| 1T cannot either have sympathy OF
succor for the laboring man because
it's leaders are composed of the very
men who have been starving the min
ers for the last four years, and it is
silly to suppose that they would feed
Z him now for amy other motive save
that of political eNpedience.
