REMEDY FOR TRUSTS.

McKinleys attorney general, Griggs, has
said that the national government cannot legis-
late against, or control, the trusts; that til,
states must do that.
James Dill the lawyer who has formed more
trusts than any other man in the world, say the
states cannot regulate trusts; that congress alone
can do So He says the present trust evils are
due, in a large measure, to faulty state legisla-
tion-a lack of uniformity; that the laws of diff.
erent states conflict; that states enter into RI
vary ter the incomes to be derived from corpor-
atoms, or trusts. He says the selfshness of the
states in seeking revenue requires check to
prevent their destroying not only the property
of Legitimate corporations, but the rights of the
people, as we'll.
Mr.. Dill says the true remedy is to create
new class of national corporations under the
control of national government, but subject,
as are the national banks to-day, to the police
regulations and taxing powers of the various
states.
Mr. Dill does not say, like Mark Hanna, that
there are no trusts, for he knoI there are
plenty of them, but he says there a-e good
trusts and bad trusts.
We know of no trust that has not been form
ed to advance prices, and can conceive OF no
way to make them appear good. There is but
one wav to make trust good, and that is to put
it into the hands of Uncle S,m-or, to nation
alize it. Call it Socialism or what you will,
that is the only real, true remedy.

NO MORE FUSION.

Republicans are saying that the legislature
this winter will pass law making it impossible
to place candidates name on the ballot in two
places In other words, there can be no Popul-
ist ticket and Democratic ticket with the same
candidates on the ballot. One of our exchang-
es has this to say about the threat to stop
fusion:
You have heard about locking the stable
doors al ter the horse has been stolen. Well,
that is about what the Republicans are going
to do up at Topeka this winter, when they pass
all "anti-fusion" bill, forbidding the printing
Of the same names under two party headings
on the same ballot. The fusion parties of this
state will hardly seek to maintain separate par
ty organizations hereafter, so the act will be
too late to do any good. If the Democrats
still stand by the Kansas City platform, the
Populists will be willing to stand with them.
If they do not, then the bulk of the Populists
will probably be found in the new socialist or
ganization. In either event, an anti-fusion law
will be useless.

"PROSPERITY" IN CHUNKS.

The prosperity" people will probably ex-
tract great deal of comfort out of the follow
ing dispatch, which appeared in last Sundays
daily papers:
Chicago, ILL.,, Nov. Io.-A fiat increase of
cent pound was put upon beef, pork and NUT
ton yesterday by Chicago packer. The Chron-
iclr to day said, "ln one year the additional
cent will yield to the Chicago packers, basing
the estimate upon last years. business, the fol-
lowing sums
Dressed beef, ST. 200, 900; dressed pork, and
pork products, $40 900, 900; mutton, $4 ,ooo,-
600. Total addition to incomes $50, 900, ,ooo."
Retailers of meats were thrown into panic
by the unexpected rise in prices. Many who
had carcasses in their coolers declined to buy
until they would need at the new rate In the
adjustment of prices to the consumers choice
cuts of beef have gone up as much as cents,
pork renderloin jumped to the same extent and
mutton chops went up three cents The ad-
vance by the packers is more than 10 per cent
on the price of meat the day before election.
The advance by the retailer to the consumer
will average rs per cent, for the waste III car
cass doubles the increased cost of the salabe
PORTION.
The packers claim they have been selling
dressed meats at loss for several years. In six
mouths the price of meat stufs has gone up
ST.. so per 100 pounds. There has been no cor
responding advance in the price of cattle, hogs
and sheep.
Representatives of the packers in charge of
the dressed meat department say the advance
was justified by the condition of the trade and
its imposition on the heels of the election is
but coincidence.

rhe Inevitable.

It was inevitable that a sweeping defeat
should toss up the weaker vessels in the Demo
cratic party and drive them to the poor refuge
of telling how it all might have been different
if certain things had happened. The true,
manly man is not so. Defeat to him means re-
newed battle, comprehensive planning, earnest
agitation and the nobler thing of courageously
holding his face to the foe while watching, wait
ing and working till his opportunity comes.
The avalanche of jocular ridicule from the op'
position press falls easily on him, for he bears
no malice and knows just how he would have
"roasted" the other side If he had had the
chance.
The cardinal truths he stood for, throughout
the campaign are part of his being and are too
sacred to be affected by ridicule or any other
power. Imperialism is prevalent and danger
Gus, trusts are triumphant, fraud and speculation
are rampant, task; are growing, lives are being
sacrificed in an unjust war, and fancied secur-
inv has lulled The majority of the people into
acouiescence to these things. The "full dinner
pail' cry is as empty of truth now as ever, and
the loyal Democrat who has tine good OF the
party at heart will continue proving these facts
to oulled mental processes until they are accept
ed, or until "the cows come home"
He will laugh at opposition, having sigh
for those OF his own political kip who are weak
and smile for the political enemy who would
discourage him. Democratic principles are as
uuvielding as the rock ribbed hills, and to such
a man there is no such word as change. He
does not trim his sail 10 the breezes of expedi-
ency, but holding true course among the
shoals that perplex the political mariner he
consults his campass, which is his conscience,
accepts its dictum, and, asking only fair held
and NO favor, sails bravely, manfully on to the
end. Remorse and regrets are unknown to him,
and though the leaden skies CT present defeat
now cover him, there is a burning faith in his
soul that sooer or later he shall know that

And ever is Justice DONE"

DEMOCRATS TO REORGANIZE.

The Eastern Democrats are talking of reor-
ganizing their party. They say they must
drop the silver question and lot more "fool
Pop ideas" and then they can win. Hoke
Smith, member of Ceveland's cabinet says
the Democrats must adopt platform like the
last Republican platform, and then Democratic
success is assured.
We have no objection to the "reorganization"
of the Democratic party by these fellows. Many
Of the gang that talk way supported Mckinley
at the last election, and those who didn't sup
port Mckinley voted for Bryan simply because
he was the Democratic nominee. w. R. Hearst,
of the New York Journal, is one of these-he
is red.h hot tor reorganization now.
If the Eastern Democrats 60 back on silver
and the Kansas City platform, they cannot pos
sibly take with them the solid Western Dem.
ocracy. The adoption Of the Republican
platform would not help the Democratic party.
Should the party do such thing, the people
of the country would say: What's the use of
changing? What good would it do? Well
just stay with the Republican party.
This talked-of reorganization would simply
mean that the only thing the Democratic party
has in view is the spoils. 1t would prove that
principle cuts no figure with them.
Was the Kansas City platform right when it
was adopted? If so, it is right now, and its
reputation by the Democratic leaders simply
proves that principle is secondary to Office
getting.
Any Democrat who is taken in by this talk
of reorganization is too green to burn.

THAT ALLIANCE.

During the campaign, we heard Republicans
say, eff Mckinley is elected, the war in the
Philippines will CEASE The election is over,
and, instead of making move toward stopping
the war, Mckinley says he will prosecute it
more vigorously ttan ever. Furthermore, it is
stated i'll the dispatches from Washington that
Mckinley will request Great Britain to suppress
the Filipino junta at Hong Kong, China, which
has been maintained for the purpose of aiding
the Filipinos in their rebellion against the
United States. dispatch states that this re-
quest to Great Britain has been contemplated
for some time, and now that no political OBJ
stacles are in the way, the action is to be taken
without delay.
That Great Britain will act upon the request
that is no doubt, which is additional proof of
the oftrepeated assertion that an alliance ex-
lists betweenthe United States and Great Britain

MORE ADVANCED PRICES.

A meeting of representatives. of the sle"l
companies held meeting in New York on
Thursday of ,st week, and decided to advance
the price of steel bllets from SI8 50 to $50 per
tor. All of the great steel firms were repre-
sented.
They held a meeting for this purpose short
time prior to the election, but, after discussing
the question, it was deemed unwise to make the
advance until after the election.
Prices Of other steel products are soon to be
adva ced, according to this dispatch from New
York.
