temporary needs so greatly as infor-
nation. If it will consult the recent
files Of The Herald it will learn all that

Will learn that he sat as a court of last

nounced it invalid, and refused to en-
force 1t; that because Of their friend
ship for the trusts and other vilIainies.
Cleveland and his official family were
kicked out of the Democratic party by
the Chicago convention, and were well
coined as allies by the Hanna Repub-
hcanism. But who ever heard that a
Republican had been kicked out of his
party because of his friendship for the
trusts? Has not McKinley's trust at
torney established his good standing as
Republican by refusing to enforce
the antitrust law after the supreme
court had upheld it and pointed out
the way for its enforcement?
The trust organs candidate, who
sees much that is good" in the trusts.
IS going about the state advocating an
amendment to the constitution author
izing congress to legislate against the
trusts. Neither the organ nor the can
didate has yet explained why it would
not be better to enforce the present
law, nor how, with a trust-owned at
torney general, any constitutional
amendment could be made effective.
Nor does it appear from the record
that either the trust candidate or the
trust organ favors the enforcement of
the present valid law against trusts
But it does appear, by their endorse
ment of tane Mckinley administration,
that they believe the trusts should be
protected and the law ignored The
Herald seeks information on these
points.

AMERICANS VS.. TORIES.

There will be new alignment of
political elements in the coming presi-
Dental campaign. A conflict between
Americanism and Toryism is imminent.
Toryism, intrenched in Office and
drunk with power, is insOlent and de-
faint
Americanism. i1sulted and indignant,
is becoming aroused and determined to
secure control Of this government that
was founded as a protest against the
very policies pursued by the present
administration.
There will be some who cling to party
names and partisan prejudices. There
will be those who believe it their duty
to submit to and uphold the ruling
power. There were such people in the
days Of King John who cursed as
traitors those who rebelled and wrested
from him the charter Of their liberties
at Runnymede. There were such peo-
pie in the American colonies when the
Declaration OF Independence was
hurled like a broadside Of defiance
against the ruling power and the adj
miniStration or LORD North.
But Toryism was defeated then. Eng
lish policies were repudiated. English
control was shaken off. The claims of
superior government" were rejected.
The maledictions Of Tories and stoadies
were laughed TO scorn The cry Of
traitor and rebel" was met with de-
rision. The Tories were suppressed.
The agents of superior civilization"
were driven away. And American in
dependence was achieved
To achieve that independence from
England over the combined opposition
Of Tories here and armies sent from
that side of the Atlantic, called for
Americanism; and AmericanisT :
sponed TO that call.
