THE TRUST CONVENTION.

WITH the republican leaders as
represented on that party's nation
al committee now gathered in
Philadelphia the curtain rises on
what will prove to be the most
mechanical and unrepresentative
national convention known to the
political history of this country.
The party once dominated by
men of.the Abraham Lincoln type
is now under the iron rule of Mark
Hanna and the trusts. The ma
chine, organized by Mark Hanna
for the protection of syndicate
interests, which took up William
Mckinley in 1896 and elected him
to the presidency as the most
pliable tool of the trusts, dictates
the proceedings Of the Phil
adelphia convention from start to
finish. Mckinley Will he re-
nominated as the candidate of
trustism, the republican national
platform will be dictated by
Hanna, the agent of the trusts,
The campaign of 1900 will be con-
Quoted on lines that will justify
the trusts in contributing the
s3O,000,00O slush fund which
Hanna has notified them is neces-
sary to secure McKinley's re-
election. AS an exhibition of the
perfection possible to machine
methods in party control the
Philadelphia conventionisln
ing aud instructive. AS an illus
tratlon of the decadence Of party
once great and fearless in its
Americanism it is poignantly
pathetic. The fat shadow OF
Hanna, the INSCRIPTIONS handy.
man of monopoly, rests on the
republican national convention Of
1900 as blight ant an omen oil
singular menance to the future o.

Four years ago the gold demo-
Gratis were stronger in Wisconsin
than in any other western state.
Seventeen of Wisconsin's twenty
two delegates in the Chicago con-
vention refused to support the
ticket nominated. Based on such
facts as these it was naturally
expected that the gold democrats
would cut some figure in the con-
vention held by the party this
year, but when the gathering met
last week at Milwaukee they We're
not in evidence. The resolutions
endorsing the Chicago platform
were adopted without a dissent
ing vote. The delegates to the
national convention were instruct
ed for Bryan, though this was en-
tirely unnecessary as they were all
free silver democrats of the most
pronounced type. The gold demo-
Gratis of Wisconsin are evidently
all dead.

In the last days of the session
of congress the republican leaders
introduced an antitrust bill which
was not intended to be effective.
It is believed that it was introduce
ed to hold over the trusts a club to
force campaign subscriptions.
Senator Pettigrew endeavored to
have it taken up in the senate at
once, and the democratic offer to
remain in session until it could be
passed, forced the republicans, to
vote it down.

THE FARMERS DID IT.

The administration points with
great pride to the help it has been
to prices Of agricultural products
and farm interests generally.
They can scarcely show a single
instance where they are directly
or Indirectly, the cause Of an ad-
vance in price. On the other
hand, they can thank the agri-
cultural interests for most of the
prosperity which has existed dur
ing the past fur years. Fortu-
nately the foreigners wanted wheat,
corn and cotton at time when
our. agriculturalists had an abunl-
ance to sell and with the aid of the
bull movement, inaugurated by
Letter, a high price was obtained
that brought to this country
hundreds Of millions Of dollars
more than usual or what was the
same thing, paid our foreign
Indebtedness to that amount. owe
did it, was the immediate cry of
the McKinleyites, while poor Joe
Letter, who was really an impor-
tant factor in "doing it, was being
pushed to the wall by one Of those
combinations which McKinleyism
has caused to thrive and wax
strong, the Chicago wheat ring
monopoly. Now just note how
they will tell the agriculturalistE
all through the campaign how
thankful they ought to be to Nc.

DRY weather in three Of the
principal WHEAT raising states of
the northwest are effecting the
price problem somewhat, and tax
ing the present prices for basis
the present crop should bring
from "a cents to Sl,00. Every
other commodity has advance in
price from Is to so per cent, so
that raise in the price of wheat
is not so illogical.
Courier Democrat. (Langdon, N.D.) 1891-1920, 1900-06-21
As soon as a prospective wheat

crop failure becomer defned-as
soon as it is thought that only
few will have any wheat to sell
the price is boosted upwarded at
once by the spectators who large
lys control the narket-price on
boards of trade. Flax and cattle
are high. gold, copper, oil and
other things are high and the
products controlled by trusts under
the law, bring good profit. This
is called prosperity in the news
papers, but how many of the
masses of the people have these
things to sell to get the high
prices. As soon as any consider
able number do have some of the
products to dispose of, down go
prices before they can be secured.
And how can there be general,
permanent prosperity without the
people generally get their share of
it? Part of the money that is
made by few, may be spent in
extravaganza and display but
that is not the healthy kind OF
prosperity, that leaves something
at The end of the year for man and
family, above a living, and for
which too often all members, child
rem included, are engaged in earn
ing.

The population of the United
States is twenty-four per square
mile; Of the Philippine archipel-
ago, seventy per square mile.
There is no room in these islands
for American colonists, who, even
if they could find room, could not
live AID labor in SO hot and un-
healthy climate. But, if it we're
possible enormously to develope
the products of the Philippines, it
would bring them into competition
with the farmers Of our own
country, who raise cotton, sugar,
rice, tobacco, and hemp, and it is
due to our farmers that we should
not build up that competition.
Additional proof that American
commerce does not depend on our
possession of colonies is the, fact
that our imports for three decades
(from 1870 to the present year,.
have increased 60 per cent, and
our exports 212 per cent, a record
unparalleled in commercial history.
In 1870 our exports and imports
were eight hundred and twenty
eight millions, and in 1900 they
will amount to two billions-with-
out colonies.
