Editor 70 the Register:
1t has just reached my ears that
report is being circulated by de.
signing persons that 1 will not sup
port or vote for John r.. Somerville,
for County Commissioner. To set
at rest once and forever this SLAM
derous and bare faced lie original
ing among the enemies of my
brother, and also to further the in
terests of their failing cause, L
hereby denounce the authors of the
Islander as malicious falsifiers of the
darkest hell. 1 shall not only vote
for my brother, but shall take oc-
casion to support him by the Civ
ing of my time and means / know
that he has not only the business
qualifications to fill acceptably the
Office he drumming for, but is sober,
honest and fearless, and will look
after the interests of the tax payers
of the county in manner that
they, no matter what party they
belong to, will be Satisfied, and
this is what they have been clam
oring for and need. L hope .fai1
men of all parties will do as l shall,
vote for John r SomerviIle.

Tariff. the Mother of Trusts.

The tariff is the most fertile
source of American lnonopolies.
During the last 80 or 40 years
hardly an instance has been known
in which an American monopoly
has been denied any part of the
benefits which it has demanded in
the enactment of. tariff laws. In
1890 and 1897 this rule was with
out any known exception. In 1894
there we're but few exceptions.
Tariffs are always made up by the
very parties who are interested in
preventing foreign competition
and in securing for themselves a
monopoly of the domestic trade.
These facts and their effects upon
the promotion of monopolies have
been shown SO clearly that nothing
moro need be said upon the point.
1t is simply absurd to make any
effort to prohibit or to regulate
trusts and combinations while their
causes are left untouched. If the
American people shrink from COM
petition with other nations of the
earth, and deem themselves justifi-
ed in preventing such competition
by force, they have no moral right
to complain of American capita
lists who take advantage of the
laws which prevent foreign compe-
tition to make of them instruments
to prevent domestic competition,
also. Neither have Americans who
believe in preventing foreign COM
petition by force any moral right
to complain of capitalists who pre-
vent domestic competition by
fraud. The one is just as moral
or immoral as the other.

ing himself strongly against trusts
every time big Democrat at
tacks trust" said Democratic
leader, sit means votes for the
peoples cause. You don't find
any big Republican doing it,"
It is announced from New York
that Mr.. Croker, in discussing the
trust question, said:
"Where is this trust business
going to end2 Can you imagined
Take the big department. stores in
this city, for instance. Say there
are IL of them. It is not at all I'M
likely that within the next four
years they will form q trust among
themselves. There is good deal
of talk to that effect, and then what
will happen?"
1.-THE trust will raise the price of
goods to suit it's own interests.
1t would have no competition.
The small dealer would have to go,
and where would the masses come
in? The trusts could greatly re-
duce it's working forces and pay as
small wages as it pleased. And
what is more, supposing a man
lost his situation in trust store,
what could he do? He would have
to leave the city if he hoped to get
another job.
"Think of the enormity of the
evil such state of affairs would
bring about. 1t would not be SO
here alone, but all over the country,
and that is just what the people are
awakening to. They realize the
danger and they are going to
avoid it this year, as sure as fate

tThe business man is great
force in politics." says Mark Han
ma. Not bit of doubt of it, That
is why he sets aside the oonstitu-
ton, derides the Declaration of In.
dependence, claiming to be acting
in the interest of the business man.
By the business man he means the
trust combinations. It is the big
business man, the plutocratio bust
ness man that he means. The or
binary tradesman is of no account;
no more than the American soldier
in the Philippines. But fortunate
ly it happens that, while the trusts
have the most money for Hanna's
candidate, the ordinary business
man has the most votes for Bryan.
The administration is believed
to be very anxious to pull down
the American flag from it's position
of honor over Pekin and get out of
the Chinese empire, bag and bag
gage. This is home politics, for
our people do not care to undertake
two wars in the Orient--in the
Philippines and the vast empire of
China, with it's 4OO,OOO,OOO popula-
ton. But what about the disgrace
of hauling down the American flag? ?
lis it any more honorable to pull it
down in Pekin than in Luzon, or
in Cuba, where it is also announced
the administration will be glad to
see it give place to another flag?
With slump in iron prices the
wages of miners have gone down

Mckinley was not looking.
