come at last.

oheered with heartfelt enthusiasm. He
ad dre ssed the civilians and thanked them
and the garrison for their magnificent
support throughout the trials which We
alone can realize.
"We could pessibly have hung on for
six weeks longer, but the prisations
would have been great and sickness and
the pauoity of our ammunition would
have limited the number Of assaults we
would have been able to resist.
"we originally started the Siege with

Ranting About Trusts.

AS usual Mr.. Bryan cries out
"Trusts!" and takes great care not to
say what he means. The plain people,
as Mr.. Lincoln used to call them, are
we'll aware what that sort of treat
ment means. Never does it mean ig-
norance only. Were Mr.. Bryan pro-
foundly ignorant on the subject he
would not fail to guard himself by
aiming his shots at the corporations
which actually abuse their power, or
at those which have powers they are
likely to abuse. The bare fact that
he is particularly careful not to limit
his attacks, as man of his cunning
obviously would if he wished to reach
the minds of intelligent people, proves
that he has a different purpose. He
is not trying to guard against any real
evil; on the contrary, nothing else so
effectually cripples the effort to pro-
mote sensible and practical legislation
on this subject as wanton and indis-
criminate railing at good and bad cor
porations alike. He is not trying to
reach or influence men who are guild
ed by INFORMATION or reasoning, but to
stir up hatred against capital and its
effective use in productive industry.
Whether he hurts individuals who are
materially benefting all workers and
all consumers he does not care.
Whether he hurts the country he does
not care. For people of common sense
no words OF opprobrium are needed to
describe such a purpose or such a
man.-New York Tribune.
