(By the Associated Press.


Washington, D. c., Oct. 24.-In the CAPT
tai of the nation, where his life work had
been accomplished, there gathered repre-
sentatives of every Government depart
ment, and the representatives of many
of the foreign powers to pay homage to

a brief PRAYER the choir chanted the
anthem Lord, Let Me Know My End and
the Number of My Days The casket was
then lifted by the pail bearers with the
honorary pail bearers following and car
ried from the house. where a detachment
of the Fifth Cavalry under Colonel Raffer-
ty waited to escort it to the depot.

TRUSTS CAN BE KILLED
Will the People Use the Means to Ac.
complish This End?
THEY CAN DO SO IF THEY WILL
The General Committee For the Organization
Was Appointed and Meets This Morn
ing to Consider Plans of
Action.

Mr.. j. Bryan Grimes called the
meeting of the Tobacco Growers to-
gether and explained it's purpose in
short and ringing speech. He said
that by the operation of an organiza-
ton, the price of tobacco was cut
down to almost nothing. That if the
farmers would work in unison, he be-
lleved they were in a position to
right their wrongs.
Secretary Parker read an address
by Judge Walter Clark that received
the heartiest assent, which dealt with
methods of destruction of illegally
trusts and combines.
Judge Clark's address dealt entirely
with trusts. He defined trust as any
arrangement or the purpose of in
creasing the price of any class of pro-
ducts beyond the price that would be
fixed by the natural demand and sup
ply He showed that Congress and
the Legislature of North Carolina had
both passed laws making such ar
engagements Illegal, and fixing severe
punishment for them. He insisted
that the remedy is in the peoples
hands. Elect only such public SER
wants as will enforce the present laws
against trusts. He suggested as adj
ditional legislation that trusts be re-
fused the right of courts in collecting
debts, when they sell goods on
credit. The fact that the creditor
is a trust should be a bar to recov-
cry. The Craig law should be rigid
ly enforced; graded Inheritance or
income tax should be adopted and a
statute enacted empowering the SUI
perior court to issue writs of injunc-
ton against a corporation formed for
the purpose of destroying com
petition. He spoke of the unjust eX-
actions, of those modern Dick Turpins,
who set aside portions of their illegally
gotten gains for the purchase or con-
troll of newspapers, for donations to ed
vocational institutions, which shall in
doct1'inate our youth with sentiments
of the holiness and beauty of trusts
and the iberality of trust magnates,
and in the debauching of electors
and the manipulating of Legislatures
and Congresses through lobbyists and
other well known and representative
methods.

Judge Clark for his admirable adj.
dress.
Col. Cunningham then addressed the
convention. He urged upon the CON
vention the necessity of intelligent
concerted action by the farmer, and
said that many of the suggestions
given the cotton convention would
be of benefit to the tobacco grow
ers. He illustrated the baleful in
tiuences of trusts by the fact that while
the high price of cotton was attrib-
uted to the short crop, there is also
short crop of tobacco, but no rise in
the price. The address was full of
common sense suggestions and recelv-
ed close attention.
The following resolution was offer
ed by Mr.. w. H. Ragsdale:
Resolved: The Tobacco Growers,
Association of North Carolina are con-
fident that the present depressed con-
dition in tobacco growing can be re-
lieyed by the thorough organization
of the tobacco farmer of the bright
belt and our purpose is to continue
this fight until we are successful.
We urge the farmers of North Caro-
lima to restrain their acreage to pres
ent area.
We pledge ourselves as we organize
to help local factories by patronizing
local brands to the exclusion of trust
goods. We call upon the farmers and
county association to take steps to Sc
cure the handling of Independent
made goods by our merchants to the
exclusion of trust made goods.
We demand the enforcement of an
ti-trust laws now on State statute
books.
We invite our sister States to assist
in unfolding our hand in our anti
trust fight.

Croker's Latest Prediction,

A special from New York quotes Mr..
Croker as saying:
Bryan will carry New York city by
big figure; he will carry New York State
and he will be elected president by the
votes of the people-the people who are
silent simply because they want to make
the rebuke to the Republicans more Sc
we're. You can't get figures this year and
YOU can't get a line on probable results
by talking with the men who are in charge
Of the Republican campaign. You can get
them if you'll talk to the waiter who
serves your meals. to the conductor who
takes your car fare, to the man who de-
livers your groceries and provisions, to
the man who shines your shoes; in fact,
to everybody who is not mixed up in the
Republican scheme of ruin and empire,
either as a promoter or a dupe."

THE GREAT THIEF HoNoRED.
But the Petty Thief Soon Feels the Iron Grip Of
the Law.
(By the associated Press. J


Dover, Del, Oct. 24.-Mr. Bryan had
an excellent audience here, where he
spoke for about quarters of an
hour The crowd was large and its APP
probation was manifested by frequent
outbursts of applause. Referring to the
trusts as an issue of the campaign, Mr..
Bryan said:
IF a Republican complains because you
discuss the trust question you ask him
why his party did not eliminate the
trust question by eliminating the trusts.
If the Republican party had done it's
duty during the last three years and a
half there would be no trust question
to discuss. The President promised the
people in his inaugural address of March,
1897, that he would enforce the laws
and recommend new laws. He has done
neither. The Attorney General has not
enforced the law against the trusts. You
have a law on the statute books now
that makes it penitentiary offence for
a man to organize a trust. You also have
a law making it a penitentiary offence
for a man to steal a horse; but it is
safer in this country under a Republican
administration to conspire against seven
ty-fve million people than to steal a
horse from one man."
Mr. Bryan again addressed himself to
the farmers Of his audience and among
other things said to them:
why should farmer in Delaware vote
to allow corporations to water their
stock when nc farmer can initiate the
value of his farm? l have seen the
statistics of other States showing that
agricultural land will sell for less today
than it would sell for ten, fifteen or TWEEN
ty years ago. You cannot initiate the value
of your farm, yet you allow a corporation
to issue watered stock, some times as
much as ten times as much water as
there is money invested, and then you
allow it to combine and monopolze a
market and plunder people to pay divi
dends on money never invested in the
corporation"
Discussing the Philippine question, Mr.
Bryan said
The Republican party came into eXis
tence in attempting to apply the
Declaration of independence to a black
man. 1t will go out of existence because
it refuses to apply that same declaration
to a brown man, who is only half black
In the same connection Mr.. Bryan re-
ferred to the flag Of the United States,
saying:
''You Republicans want people to bow
before the flag 1 want people to turn their
faces toward it and thank God that there
is one flag on which there is no blood"
