BY His Works.


During Mr.. McKinley's administration
the power of the trusts has reached a
height never attained under any other
President. The syndicate influence has
controlled the President and mastered
Congress. It has led to policy in Cuba
which iustifies the Cubans in believing
that this Government has no intention
of fulfilling its pledge for Cuban indie
pendence. 1t dictated line of American
action in the Philippines which precipitated
war and compelled the employment of a
big army for foreign conquest. 1t demands
the holding of the Philippines at any cost,
as widening the field of profit for itself.
1t forced the sin of the tariff taxation OF
the Porto Ricans in violation of the Con-
stitution 1t is demanding the passage Of
Ship Subsidy bill which will place tax of
5000, 900, 900 on the American people for
exclusive syndicate benefit. 1t is driving
the United States into policy of imperial
ism and militaryism utterly at variance
with American principles and institutions.
The American people will hold Mr..
Mckinley responsible for the fact that
the trusts are now the dominant factor
10 this Government They are resolved
to overcome the trust evil and to punish
the party of the trusts. They know that
this is imperative if true Americanism is
to survive. They know that to control
and regulate the trusts they must retire
Mr.. Mckinley from the Presidency of the
United States. There is good reason to
believe that their votes in November will
accomplish this end.

csrILentz Pvraed.

The Supreme Court,in a decision written
by Judge Dixon, has purged Carl Lentz,
the Republican leader of Essex county. Of
wrong doing, and has re-instated him in
his profession. In the opinion Justice Dixon
said =
:" He wrongfully appropriated to his own
use," N oney entrusted to him by his client
for other purposes; that such misappro-
priation was made without any actual
intent to defraud and with the expectation
of paying it over as soon as required
that he had paid it over, principal and
interest, not, indeed, as soon as required,
but before the rule in this case was applied
for.n
"Such incorporation, continued JUS
tice Dixon, was made without any actual
intent to defraud and with the expectation
of paying it over as soon as required"
The Newark Advertiser, in commenting
on the decision, says it is novel in law.
/" Every man who incorporates funds
expects to repay them. The difference
between some men and other men is that
some, with the aid of friends or otherwise
raise the amount they misused, while
others, less fortunate, cannot.
1T had been generally understood by the
bar that the misuse of funds was a sub
stantial and complete offense, but we now
learn from the Supreme Court that if the
misuser raise and repay the money before
in the case of lawyer, a rule to disbar ia
applied for, it is mitigating circum-
stance" There can certainly be no such
mitigating circumstances" in the case Of
the man who is unable to raise the money
he has misused.

Very keen experts in the art of fooling
all of the people some of the time" are
formulating the Republican platform at
Philadelphia. They will have their labor
for their palms. The Republican platform
of 1900 is written in the record of that
party since Mr.. McKinley's Inauguration.
Deeds down the voice of protestations.
Sins of omission are not cured by new
promises.
When the platform denounces trusts,
the people will remember the 700 monopo-
lies Of this nature that have been organized
since Mr.. Mckinley took the oath of Office,
and the failure of either Congress or the
President to take one step to curb them.
When it points with pride to the "pro-
lection to American industries under the
Dingley tariff, the voters will not forget
that the bene6ciaries of this tariff form
combinations to maintain pricesn at
home while selling their wares at lower
prices in open competition with Europe in
all the markets of the world.
When it reiterates the Monroe doctrine
the people will ask why Mr. Mckinley is
waging war of conquest amid "entangling
alliances" on the other side of the globe.
When it attempts to gloss over the Porto
Rico tariff the country will remember that
President Mckinley said in his message
that it was our plain duty" to give the
people OF this new possession free access
to our markets"
When it declares that the war is over"
in the Philippines, the country will point
to the continued fighting and to the death
lists, and ask what our army Of IS 900 men
is doing there.
When it protests that it will repeal the
war taxes the taxpayers will want to know
why the party has not done so, with full
control Of the government the war With
Spain ended nearly two years ago, and a
surplus of 500, 100000 exacted from the
people.
When it talks of economy-if the plat
form makers haYe the cheek to do so-the
people will point to the appropriation Of
$7O9. 900 900 at the recent session of Com
gress, 40 increase in the cost of government
Of $lS1 900 600 since 1898.
When It pirates of civil service reform
the country wall smile.
The Republican record is made mp, aud
the party must 90 into the campaign upon
It. The platform cannot change it,.

e German Americans feel that they have
been misled and betrayed by President
Mckinley" So says Editor Oswald OF
tendorfer, of the StaaS Zeitung.
How could President Mckinley be
false TO the German Americans without
being false to the whole body of American
citizens ?" Thus comments the startled
Nea0 York Times
President Mckinley made no promise to
German Americans that he did not make
TO the entire country. Mr.. Ottendorfer is
right. The party in power has not kept
faith with the people.
The German Americans did not bargain
for the gangrene of imperialism. They
did not bargain for the military rule and
civil ruin OF Porto Rico. They did not
bargain for the useless war in the Philip
T.-es, or for the knuckling and trucking
Hay Pauncefote treaty. or the defeat of the
Nicaragua Canal bill for the sake of vast
campaign fund.
German Americans are not blind to these
things. They see the evil clearly and will
fight against it at the polls. like other
Americans. IN. Y. Journal.

q New PIsnk fer .he c. Q. P.

R. G. Dun & Co.'s Weekly Review Of
Trade, of New York, says:
Business is not what it was year ago,
but men do not agree on defining the
difference. The working forces are now
decreasing, work stopping to relieve excess
siye output in manufactures in paper,
cotton, wool, leather, and some forms OF
steel, while prices are suddenly reduced in
lead, wire and nails. All this seems To
some merely Spring dullness,' others think
it the beginning of reaction"
Instead of their usual plank on Prosper
ity, the Washington Post suggests the above
as substitute for the Republican State
and National Conventions. Or. if that is
not satisfactory, how would the following
paragraph do, from the same gold standard
authority, Dams paper?
Twenty preferred Industrial stocks have
sold this week at prices averaging $S3 Ia
per share, though the same stocks sold in
April last year for $99.66 per share, and
twenty common have sold this week for
$3s 49 which sold last year at $40 SO,
double the price,

washinston's Opinion of Trusts.

Ia 1878, General Washington's army was
not in very good condition. 1t needed
food and clothing, in fact the soldiers were
in rags, and with their officers lived on the
plainest of food, principally roots. Con-
gress was struggling to supply him and bis
army with the necessaries OF life. but it had
trouble with those who had the supplies,
because they controlled the market and
were not disposed to let them go without
being paid their own price. 1t was then
that Washington wrote Joseph Reed, presi-
dent of Congress, to the following effect -
ut gives me sincere pleasure to find that
the Assembly of Pennsylvania is SO well
disposed to second your endeav0rs in bring
ing those murderers OF our cause, the mon
opoljzers, forestallers and engrossers, to
condign punishment. 1t is much to be
lamented that each State long ere this has
not hunted them down as pests to society
and the greatest enemies we have to the
happiness of America.
I" I would to God that some one of the
most atrocious in each State was hung in
gibbets upon gallows five times as high
as the one proposed by Haman.
&C No punishment, in my opinion, is too
great for the man who builds his greatness
upon his country's ruin"
