AP TENT THRE At.

Chairman Hanna recognizes that the
trusts are fostered and nourished by the
protective tariff robbery and made that
fact plain in his efforts to secure set
tlement of the coal strike. Hanna cares
nothing about the miners dinner pail.
All he wants is to get Mr.. Mckinley
elected again SO he and his friends can
further profit in the control Of appoint
ments In the colonial possessions and
here at home. The coal strike mem
aced the election of Mckinley and for
that reason 1t was necessary to make an
effort to settle 1t. Hanna Is said to
have made the threat that he would
have the tariff on coal removed If the
operators refused to settle the strike.
The threat was effective. The high
duty on coal was the principal cam
paign cry among the miners during the
'cnmpaign Of four years ago, and 1t ID
asserted this cry had more to do with
Republican success In tl,e coal regions
than did the silver iesue. The removal
.of the duty on bituminous coal would,

GERMAN EDITOR ON HANNA.

Louis Seybold, editor of the Akron
Germania, which has always been the
leading Republican German paper of
northern Ohio, has created a sensation
by his open declaration against the ad-
ministration and Hanna in particular.
He addressed German mass meeting
in Akron recently. Referring to Hanna,
trusts and imperialism, he said:
"The efforts on the part of the Re-
publican press and politicians to make
the silver question an issue has been a
dismal failure. 1t is an old issue in this
campaign. / desire to devote myself, for
few moments, to Hanna and his i'm
perialistic speeches. He and his anti
trust friends, with their money bags
filled to overfowing, are satisfied. They
ask the common people to be satisfied
with only full dinner pail.
Concerning such proposition one
feels himself put in the same category
as barn full Of cattle, who also have
enough to eat, and for that reason
should be satisfied and content. This
is about the conception of Hanna and
iiio CohboItS " IOW Tic WOThlHB
classes should feel. Anything above
that ideal of life is denied him by Han
ma. Our patriotic youth are being sac
rificed as cannon food for the sake Of
creating opportunities for spectators
and the manufacturers of army sup
plies. The working classes Of our
country are dependent on the arbi-
trariness of trusts who at their option
and in order to regulate prices close the
factories in which hundreds of people
are working for their daily bread.
1.-THE effort of Hanna trying to deny
the existence Of anything resembling
trusts or Imperialism is ridiculous.
Imperialism is the allegorical designa-
ton Of political conditions under when
the working people are gradually op-
pressed and the selfish money powers
are elevated; a political evolution which
heaven spare us from. i would prefer
to experiment politically for four years
before submitting to such political pro-
gress as that proposed by Hanna and
his like"

It Is said. cut down the demand for
American ccal to such an extent that
the profits in the business would be ma
terially lessened. The mine operators
say they cannot compete with the for
eign market.
1t is estimated that there are about
22, 900 miners in Ohio, about go per cent
of whom voted the Republican ticket
for the past few years. and 1t is to re-
tain this vote that the administration
managers now want the strike settled.
Hanna's transaction serves all the
more to emphasize the danger of impe-
iialism. When one man gets so power
full that he can increase or altogether
remove tariff duties and change the
laws of the land to meet the exigencies
of the campaign, 1t may readily be seen
how very dangerous that power Is when
turned in the wrong direction. The ef-
fort of the Republican managers to
settle the strike is merely an expedient.
After election they do not care what
GENES of the miners. With the Demo-
Gratis, 1t is different. Always the cham
pion of the weak as against the strong,
Democrats want the strike settled ac-
cording to the notions of the miners
themselves, because they are under
paid and because they are human be-
ings who deserve better at the hands
of their employers.

MELANGE.

The master must to a distant land,
With q foreign foe to fight;
And the masters wife was glad of II.
But she hid her false delight,
And came to him with a fearful face
And begged of him to stay;
But the masters hound was sorry,
And 1t went and II hid away.
The masters ship from the harbor's
mouth,
Beat out to the stormy sea;
And his wife staid late at my lady's
ball,
Rejoicing to be free.
They said she shone like jewel there,
And she heard 1t with delight;
But she could not sleep for the masters
For Il howled through the livelong
night.
The master died-he was shot to death
In that land beyond the sea-
And they brought his body home, to lie
In grave by the cypress tree;
And the masters widow hid her face
And made believe she cried;
But the masters hound staid by his
grave
TIL 1t starved to death.-and died.

The Tale Teller Of the youngstown
Telegram shouts: "It's lie!" with
reference to mention Of one Theodore
shaffer, late of the Amalgamated asso-
Ciation. The News-Democrat said that
Shaffer was accused Of Irregularities
in connection with the settling of a
strike in a Milwaukee mill. Isn't 1t a
fact that he was accused? The Tele-
gram, in the same column says he has
been set upon ever since the transaction
with "calumny and vitrolic criticism,
and that "his purpose is denounced"
The News-Democrat said that he had
been accused of selling out to the trust.
Well, hadn't he? If he hadn't what
have you been making SO much fuss
about? The News-Democrat said he
was out for Mckinley and Roosevelt
after resigning his position with the
Amalgamated association. Isn't he?
The News Democrat also said that
labor wouldn't take much stock in him
and that's also a fact. Don't get ex-
cited, Mr.. Tale Teller, because there is
q little tarnish on the acquisitions to
the list of Republican campaign Or
ators.

not for Governor Roosevelt. Wolcott is
the fellow that helped to sell out the

elaring as soon as he landed that BIZ
fnetallism was impossible because En-
gland did not want it. He had posed
