PEOPLE PAY TRIBUTE.
The cost Of production has been

The cost OF production has been
reduced by monopolies and trusts
through the means of the dsstruc-
ton of competition, but the price
paid by the consumer is higher
than ever, taxing the people not
once year or once month, but
every day. Who is getting the
benefit of this illogical evolution
of civilization?" The question is
teresly answered by Senator Mark
Hanna, who pauses long enough
in his work of gathering millions
of dollars from the trusts for the
Mckinley campaign to dictate
this sentence for publication.
$50 long as trusts have not proved
menace to business, nor to the laboring
interests of the country, so long as all
that is said about them is merely talk
and nothing but talk, so long as they
have not proved curse to the country,
I believe they should be let alone"
It will be noted that the senator
says that talk against trusts
emenates from and is the work of
demagogues, and for these reasons
should be t'let alone" But instead
of taking that statement for
granted let US read the decision
of the Supreme Court of the
United States written by Justice
Peckham less than two years ago!
cit is not for the real prosperity of any
country that such changes should occur
which result in Transforming an import
ant business man, the head of his
establishment, small though it may be-,
into mere servant or agent of corpora
ton for selling the commodities which
he once manufactured and dealt in,
having no voice in shaping the business
policy of the company and bound to
obey orders issued by others. Nor is it
for the substantial interests of the
country that any one commodity should
be within the sole power and subject to
he sole will of the combination of
capital"
Thus it is shown that Hanna,
chairman of the republican ma
tional committee and business
manager of the administration
laughs at the opinion of the
supreme court. The court is
powerless to enforce the anti
trust law, which has been declared
constitutional, until Attorney Gen.
eral Griggs will take up their
prosecution. Hanna. of course,
is the mouthpiece of Mckinley
when he says the trusts should be
'']et alone" and, of course, the
attorney general let's them alone.
In the meantime thousands of
men are being driven out of bust.
ness, the American people are
becoming a nation of hirelings, all
hope of ultimate propristorship
and independence is dying out
among the workers of the country
and the trusts are plundering the
helpless people. There is a law
which forhids this but the ATTORNEY
general, selected by the trusts,
will not enforce it.

DEMOCR ATTIC SUCCESS
MEANS HZLMANLSM

Below we give our readers an exam
pie of Tillman rule in the South; read
and remember:
Benjamin r. Til1man of South
Carolina, one of the political
friends and advisers of William
Jennings Bryan, and hence a
Democrat of national Importance,
has done and said more to injure
the material prosperity of the
South, than any man of that Sec
ton, living or dead. Tillman is
a nearer approach to the Infamous
Titus Oates for vi11ainy and men,
dacity and low cunning than any
other living Democrat in the
South and therefore is danger
ously bad man to sustain such in
innate personal and political re-
1ations with the Democratic can
didate for the presidency who
does not now, (Although he is
familiar with the code of po1iti-
cal ethics which govern and con-
troll the utterances and the acts of
this man) repudiate them as
being out of harmony with the
high moral political code to
which he has consecrated his life
and his talents as an elocutionist,
and poser.
The Spanish proverb ''Tell me
the company you keep and I'll
tell you who you are" establishes
the identity of William Jennings
Bryan's democracy, at the follow
ing citations from numerous
speeches of his friend Tillman
made in open Senate, will attest
On Feb. Goth, 1900, he said
"South Carolina has disfrachise(
all of the colored race that i
could under the XIII, XIV ant
XIV amendments. We have dom
, our level b est; we have scratched
f our heads to find how we cou1t
eliminate the last one of them.
This would seem to indicate tha
the South Carolina Democrat
are A 1 Imperia1ists, and tha
"Government by consent" is n
i, part of their political creed. O1
i; page 1868, of the Record, MI
Iowa state bystander. [volume] (Des Moines, Iowa) 1894-1916, 1900-09-07

T1llman is quated as saying
"We have governing race, jus
as you would have in Massachus
etts if you had $50, 900 Negroes
and only 100000 whites. Ant
on page 2349: ''We had 125,OO0
Negroes of voting age and 100,.
600 whites" and on page 2349
"We stuffed ballot boxes. We
shot them. We are not ashamed
of it, and again on same page:
"We called constitutional con-
vention and we eliminated as l
said all of the colored people
whom we could"
On page 2261 of the Record, he
sayed: We have 114,0 register
ed voters and on the following
page: II say 81 per cent of the
white vote is Democratic"
This is the most excellent show
ing and must be very gratifying
to Mr.. Bryan in that, by it he is
assured of the solid Democratic
vote of the Palmetto state, and
that it will not be necessary for
him to stir up the ''pure minds
of the faithful in that or any 9th
er Southern state, who are even
now ready and able to furnish
him with the figures to prove
the solidarity of the Southern
Democratic vote. Perhaps Mr..
Bryan does not wish to offend his
Southern friends and admirers by
objecting to their methods of pro-
cedure in piling up Democratic
majorities in the manner describ-
ed by his friend Tillman. But
an honest man would scorn to
profit by such bare faced fraud as
that to which the unspeakable
Tillman confesses with malicious
and brazen effrontery.
