TRUSTS AND FARMERS.

Statistics established facts that
refute the historic dictum of Mark
Hanna. 'The trusts harm no.
body. They ought to be left
alone" The statistics show that
"a trust robs you walking or sleep.
ing, eating or drinking, working
or playing, living or dying and
the coffin trust gets you in the
end" From 40 to 100 per cent
more is paid by the farmer for the
implements he uses in his hard
work now than he paid in 1896.
Statistics which reduce the price of
his purchases to the common de-
nominator of his product-wheat,
show that he must give so per
cent more wheat for a stove, and
40 per cent more wheat for . pillow
than he gave in 1896. This scale
OF increase is maintained on all
Courier Democrat. (Langdon, N.D.) 1891-1920, 1900-08-30

the articles he uses. No trust has
helped the farmer. The wheat he
raises is sold in the open market
underlegitimate competition which
fixes its price according to the
natural laws of supply and de-
mand. The talk of the farmers
trust has remained talk. He can
not retaliate in kind. He must
bear the burden. Mark Hanna
has never expanded his contention
that the trusts harm nobody. It
was only in a burst of confidence
that he made the utterance and he
never analysed it. The platform
he framed at Philadelphia con-
demws the trusts in a half-hearted
way, but the party that made the
trusts and profted by them will
never unmake them.

THE DRIFT TO BRYAN.

That was indeed significant
feature Of the Indianapolis con-
vention which called the attention
of the American people to the
previous political affiliations of
the members of the platform COM
mittee who formulated and signed
the resolutions indors1ng Bryan
and condemning Mckinley which
now constitute the platform of the
anti-imperialist party. The COM
mittee in question was composed
of twenty five members. OF these,
seven voted for Palmer and Buck
ner in 1896, ten voted for Nc
Kinley, seven for Bryan and one
did not vote in that year. The
assertion is not far-fetched which
claims that if this showing is
anything like fair representation
of the change in public sentiment
that has taken place since 1896
Bryan's election by a larger cleo
taral vote and popular majority
than Mckinley received in 1896 is
plainly indicated. 1t is significant
also that the delegates to the liber-
ty convention remained stubborn
ly firm against the Establishments
Of numerous Mckinley agents sent
to the convention to prevent it's
Endorsement of Bryan. The mean
ing of this is that tho anti-imperi-
alists are determined that their
votes against empire shall count,
and for that reason they will vote
for Bryan. They know that the
democratic party is earnest and
sincere in its opposition to i'm
perialism. They know that i'm
perialism is the paramount issue
of the campaign. They have ac-
cordingly Endorsed that platform
and that candidate whose success
means the dispelling of the Nc
Kinley dream of empire and the
salvation of the old republic.
Courier Democrat. (Langdon, N.D.) 1891-1920, 1900-08-30

Those democratic papers that are
trying to guy Teddy Roosevelt on his
military record are painfully silent
about the record of w. j. Bryan.
Both Mckinley and Roosevelt have
marched through the enemy's country,
charged the enemy's lines and faced the
enemy's bullets. Bryan resigned his
commission, never having made march
or fired shot, and his resignation was
handed in just before his regiment was
ordered to the front Fargo Forum.
When the war broke out Bryan
offered his services to President
Mckinley, who defeated him. He
raised regiment, and obeyed the
orders Of his former political rival.
He served his country as an officer
until the war was over. Bryan
was in the military service nearly
as long as Governor Roosevelt, but
he makes no cheap appeal to the
people for votes on the ground
that he has been soldier. He
does not try to stir up in America
q love of war for wars sake. He
does not care to stand as the rep
resentative of force, but rather as
the champion Of justice and equal
opportunities for all. This is
Bryan to-day. He would regard
. victory at the polls in November
asan empty honor. unless it carried
with IL the moral right to enforce
every policy in which he believer.

COMMUNICATION.

To Editor COURIER DENoCRAT:-
1 cut the following out of LAST week g
issue of the Cavalier Co. Republican and
desire the courtesy of a little space to
answer in your paper the unwarranted
fling.
Cavalier county is represented on the state
ticket of the North Dakota Social-D Democratic
party by the nomination of S. E. Haight for
commissioner Of agriculture. just what this
believe that it also is against everything-even
its parent
I always thought that one of the prime
requisites of an editor was knowledge
OF all matters political, especially of the
platforms of each and every party, nationI
al or state. butt seems from the foreS
going that this qualification is sadly
wanting in the writer of the above,
particularly as the Social. Democratic
party has national and state recognition
and is composed largely of workingmen.
However, il he will take time to read q
platform of the above named party, "not
through republican glass darkly" I will
send one TO him together with some
literature. True, it is against some
things bat not as he says, everything.
1t is against the many existing evils in
our government. It is against the old
parties for not remedyiDg those evils.
Now the Social Democratic party has for
its basic principle cooperation instead of
competition. It believes in the "brother.
hood of mar" instead Of "brother against
brother" Its influence will be for
universal good and especially will it do
away with political corruption, so if the
editor is fair he will publish Social
Democratic platform that he and possibly
some Of the candidates on other state
tickets may be benefited thereby, for it
is . we'll known fact that many belong to
some one of the old parties through the
lack OF knowledge OF something better.
Respectfully.

REPUBLICANS who do not realize
that they cannot vote for McKin-
ley this year without going counter
to the past teachings of the party
should read the speech of Hon.
George S. Boutwell, before the
Liberty Congress. Mr.. Boutwell,
was one of the founders Of the Re-
publican party and has been ono
of the party leaders from the be-
ginning, holding the Offices of
governor, congressman, senator,
and cabinet officer. He was
secretary of the treasury under
Grant. He voted for Mckinley in
1896.

NEWSPAPER CONVERTS.

One of the ready-made editorials
just now being extensively circu-
lated among the state press by the
republican campaign committee
contains the statement that no less
than twenty-nine newspapers in
the state of Minnesota have "aban-
doned Bryan since the beginning
of this campaign and gone over to
Mckinley. The democratin ma
tional committee has been at some
pains to investigate the facts and
is able to state without reservation
that this is almost wholly untrue.
As a matter of fact, not more than
two of the Eaglish papers in Min
nesota have made this change and
in both of these cases there was
also a change of ownership under
circumstances which give no politi-
cal significance to the transfer.
On the other hand, five English
papers in Minnesota have changed
from Mckinley to Bryan, making
a net gain for the Bryan cause of
three English papers. 1t is I'M
happily true that some Of the
foreign newspapers, most of them
of small circulation, have succumb-
ed to the Establishments Of the
Hanna treasury. At least some of
them who we're formerly in poor
circumstances have of late raised
the Mckinley banner and at the
same time shown signs of unwont-
ed prosperity. It is we'll enough
to confess that into this field the
democratic national committee is
not able to follow Mr.. Hanna, not
having at command the purses of
the trusts, railroad pools and
other benefciaries of special privi-
lege as Mr.. Hanna undoubtedly
has.
Courier Democrat. (Langdon, N.D.) 1891-1920, 1900-08-30

BRYAN is extremity happy in at
least two kinds of speechmaking.
The delivery with which he took
the Chicago convention of 1896 off
it's feet will take q place in the
literature of the country, and will
make mems blood Jingle, even
without the aid of declamatory
Establishment. His greater speech
was that at Indianapolis, in which
he appealed to reason and present
ed arguments profound and un-
answerable. Unquestionably that
speech has brought to Bryan's
enthusiastic support thousands of
democrats who were qualified
voters four years ago, but did not
vote for him. It has the candid
Endorsement of as many thousands
of anti-imperialist republicans.
At this writing the democratic
ticket has vastly the advantage in
the campaign. The aaministra-
ton advocates are on the defensive.
Their managers cannot take up
the line of battle which the Kansas
City convention and Bryan and
Stevenson have drawn. without
continuing on the defensive with
a defenseless cause. And yet they
cannot ignore "the paramount
issue.''
Courier Democrat. (Langdon, N.D.) 1891-1920, 1900-08-30

The republican press thought it
had something to blow about and
has been loud in it's anticipation
of Senator Buffers support going
to Mckinley, but now when that
able statesman comes out over his
own signature with an announce
mentthat he would support Bryan,
the sails seem to flop and futter
and finally sink on the deck life
less and most emphatically SUBJ
dued.

tors appointed by the Mckinley
machine, using their Offices to
make polls for Hanna's use, but
some of them with their depart
