SILL TIER ON TRUSTS.

Congressman Sutzer went at the trusts
hard at the MONDAY meeting Of the Com.
mercial Travellers and Hotel Mems Anti
Trust League last Monday. In the course
of his speech he said;
"There are about 400 trusts In this coun.
try, and 364 of these have been organized
during the present Administration.
president Mckinley, In selecting his At
torney General, went to the home and hot
bed Of all trusts. New Jersey, also known as
Robbers Roost, and II is a matter Of record
that this member Of the Cabinet has not be.
gun single suit against single trust, but
has, on the contrary, discontinued one suit
which had been commenced by his prede.
cessor.
These trusts, II allowed to grow at the
present rate, will destroy the hope, ambi
ton and aspirations Of our people and quick.
ly usher in an era when In this country there
shall be two classes-princes and paupers.
MARK Hanna says there are no trusts.
Should you ask him about the Sugar Trust
he would tell you that such q thing never
existed Yet II Is notable fact that when
ever a tariff measure which has any bearing
on that commodity is before Congress there
is always a conference between Hanna and
Havemeyer in the lobby OF the Arlington
Hotel. At those conferences can imagine
Hanna as saying i am in the political bunco
business. To carry 1t on need Doodle.
You need Legislation, and II you will give
me the former will attend to 1t that you
get the latter The result Of such confer.
ence is that some measure is passed prac
tically making impossible the importation
of sugar, and then the prices will go up As
they have during the last six months.

COMES OFT FOR BRYAN.

The Philadelphia Times, which heartily
supported Mckinley at the last election, an.
nounces its purpose TO advocate the election
Of William Jennings Bryan for President
Editorially II says:
The Tines was from its first issue an In.
dependent newspaper, free from any con.
troll but that Of Its obligations TO the public,
and It's political Independence very early led
It TO oppose the corrupt, despotic and dan.
gerous policies OF the party then, as now, in
power In city, State and nation.
The Times has been unfallingly hostile to
those measures with which VIM. Mckinley
particularly was identified, such as the mo.
nopoly-breedIng, defcitproducng tariff that
bore his name. Yet four years ago, in the
sudden crisis that divided the councils OF
the Democratic party and for the time be
ing seemed TO have checked its great career,
il seemed better TO the Times, as TO many
other leading Democratic papers, TO sustain
Mr.. McKinley's election as President rather
than that Of Mr.. Bryan. The decision was
made in good faith. The result has shown
II 10 be wrong 1t has repented and re-.
canted.
All of the evils and the perils of the 90.
called Republican policy have returned
sevenfold, developed and extended till the
very foundations Of the Government seem
threatened. A false economic system has
resulted 10 vast combinations of capital that
throttle individual industry and hold con.
troll over all the functions of Government,
and the spokesman of the Administration, a
representative Of one Of these great trusts, 10
calling upon his fellow capitalists for con.
tributions TO buy another four years. license
TO rob, another four years life for their in
fated and false prosperity. The Govern
ment thus controlled has found its fittest ex-
preston in schemes Of military conquest,
and the blood and treasure Of the nation are
poured out to subdue distant people and
rob them Of those rights Of liberty and In.
dependence that America has always claim.
ed for all mankind.
Imperialism. militarism are the natural
outgrowth Of commercalism 10 politics, of
the power Of the few over the many, the
elevation of money above manhood, with
all the system Of special privileges and cor.
rupt control that the Republican party since
the civil war has increasingly fostered.
The upholders of this system are them
selves aware OF its hollowness and are call
ing for aid from the money power to bolster
it up for time longer. The condition Is
one that the country must meet, and meet
now, and the way TO meet 1t Is by q reasser.
ton OF the Democratic idea and the re-elec-
ton of Democratic President.
This the TIMES means to advocate with
all the force It has. Our belief in the essen.
tial doctrines of the Democratic party and
In their necessity to the country is stronger
than ever.
No one questions or can question the
ability, the earnestness, the integrity of the
Democratic candidates. For the rescue of
all that has made America glorious in the
past and that can make her strong in the
future, it is duty to support their election.

1t is impossible to imagine that the great
mass OF honest voters in this country can be
