usual sight will be presented TO the
people of West Virginia From the
same platform and advocating hls cleo
tion Senator Wellington, republican,
OF Maryland, will speak, and urge his
| ,epubllcnn friends to vote for Mr., Bry.
an. senator Wellington In the senate
denounced the imperlalstic policy OF
the president, and, being man of firm
convictions, he has now taken the
stump to advocate the election oi
man opposed to his own purity, but who,
Senator wellington says, Is right on
the grent questions of the day, There
Is no longer any doubt 0s to the clcc-
toral vote of West Virginia and Mary
land, both OF which states four yenrs
ago were placed In the republican, col

Work of the Trusts.
II any man Is really looking for light
on the great questions Of the dUy, and
particularly the trust question for
which the republican party stands, lei
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 hnud
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
n necessity and which every man must
have on his table. Since May 90, the
price of granulated sugar has gone up
from $500 per 100 pounds to SO.15, the
last increase having been made August
30. Thdsisthe increase to the Wholesaler
and the increase to the consumer Is
correspondlngly greater. This trust
applies the screws to the consumer Of |
its product whenever II thinks the time
has come to squeeze the pubic unG So,
cure more funds for the millionaire
who own the refnerles
This Is the ninth raise the trust has
made in the price Of sugar since IL oh.
tanned absolute control Of the market
about three months ago. 'phs last
raise means an added tax to the house
holders OF the United States Of more
than S5O,000,00O year, and every dol
lar OF IL 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.
nger Hanna, for were II not for the re-
publican tariff there would be no trus,
and no control OF sugar. II 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 cl
labor and claim that these trusts en-.
ploy labor and pay II handsomely. II !
Is another well-estnblishcd fact that !
less is paid for labor in the American
reiineries than in England and Ger.
many, where we hear so much about =
labor. A movement Is now
On foot to close down some more of the =,
alleged independent" rennerics and :
reduce the production. Then the pric. ,
will be showed up another notch. AT =
If this Is cheering to the voter and he
nay well be asked what he Is going TO
10 about It. n
voters are asking themselves this p
question. They viii answer ii when a
hey come to cast their votes in Noycm. n
'er' Mr. Bryan is explaining daily tha ]
allacies of the republican clainsabou !
he trusts and proving that the only n
hectunl method of eXterminatinq "
hem is to vote a ticket that will elect
men pledged to curb them and make ',
impossible for combines to control !,
he necessities that the laboring men ~
,ust have. The voter who is now i
linking for himself refuses TO longer a
ave his wages cut down on one end
nd his expenses put up on the other
is the republican policy, and Il
'llowed TO It's logical conclusion vii. s.
esult in the laboring man having nc
ages and being unable to live in the
weat of his brow al aIl
