Monopoies in this country are due
more to the patent system than any 9TH
er cause; the average trust could not mo-
aopolize its product, and it will not try.
Il it does, there is the same old remedy
which we free American citizens, who
are supposed to have something to say
In the election Of our State legislatures,
can apply. We can pass State laws for
the regulation Of shose monopolies. And,
by the way, speaking of politics, the Re-
publican national platform declares
against monopolies and would propose
national legislation against them.
Gov Roosevelt, singularly clear
headed public man on civic questions, let
me tell you, sees the point. He would
legislate against monopolies. firmly
believe that this legislation will come,
and with it other laws intended to regu-
late industrial corporations, good deal
as railroads and banks are regulated now
Why not? When the trusts really get to
going so that they themselves know what
they can do, and so that they won't be
ashamed to show in what a cheap, prim-
tive, experimental stage most of their
methods now are, then, like the banks
and the railroads, they ought to be made
to "show down." and they will be.
Then the Wall street investor-for
whom we don't care anything in particu-
iar-will be protected from making bad
investments, and the unwary investors.
the widows and the orphans, whom GER

us about with so many tears, will be
doubly protected. Moreover, the en-
ployes of the trusts, the clerks in the
offices and the hands in the mills, can buy
trust stocks, and they will want to.
Ispoke about the Wall street investor.
He hasn't been making so very much
money in industrial stocks of late. He
got caught lots of times. Perhaps you
recall the case of the bicycle trust. The
promoters of that scheme went to GER
tain bankers in New York on an eighty
million dollar basis. 1t wouldn't CO. 1t
wasn't worth the money. There wasn't
the property in plants, good will, etc.
About a year later the promoters, the
same promoters, no doubt, who had learn
ed a good deal in the meantime, came
back with the bicycle trust proposition on
a forty million dollar basis, and it went
at that; could earn dividends on the forty
millions. 1t is probably true that the
American Bicycle Company is not fully
satisfied with every single one of the mill
ion details of its business, but doubtless
st will get there. Other manufacturers,
and big manufacturers, in the bicycle
business will also get there; and other
big trusts in the bicycle business are
bound to get there, too. You can't keep
a good man down-or a good proposition.
You can't corner all the capital and
brains in the country. Remember that.

the American farmer and laborer, must
address himself. And in the solution of
that problem he will find the present goal
Of patriotism.
The business man who does not inquire
into the politics of his bookkeeper is
asked by the supporters of Mr.. Bryan TO
allow partisan politics to be injected into
the circulating medium through which he
carries on his business. He refused in
1896, as he will refuse, believe, in 1900
to impute either Democracy or Republi-
canism to the dollar. He will say that
it is not a political question, and that it
should not be made such. Asking him
/ self where he shall seek guidance in the
casting of his ballot, he, like the laborer
and the farmer, looks out upon prosper
ity unprecedented. He sees trade follow
ing the flag all around the world, and
new markets opening to him under new
national responsibilities. He realizes, as
business man, that these responsible
ties must be grappled with and adjusted
on business basis. No policy of evasion
or retreat can commend itself to him.
Yet, into the field Of partisan discussion
he finds these responsibilities dragged,
like the dollars from his counting room,
by the politicians who seek his vote. And,
like the farmer and the laborer, he finds
his next national ballot invested with
unique importance.
What will be the reply Of the American
patriot, who is now asked to believe that
his home and his pocketbook are staked
on the next turn of the ballot, that
wrong decision spells ruin, and that he
must decide issues of such moment as
were never before submitted to the Amer
lean electorate?
Bryan's election appears to
me impossible Good citizens,
irrespective of party, should vote for Nc
Kinley in November. That it is the duty
Of patriots to do so have no doubt.
The safety of the American republic is
not menaced by a DOGGY, crowned with an
imperial diadem of straw The cry of
Imperialism is simply a pretext of the
Democratic leaders to save themselves
from the fatal blunder they made in
1896, the blunder of dragging the dollar
to the polls and endeavoring to degrade
it. Imperialism is not the paramount
issue, despite all efforts to make it so.
Now, as in 1896, the real issue is the
Silver Danger. That is the peril threat
ening this country, not the imaginary
evils attendant on the acquisition of new
territory, which was the inevitable re-
suit Of a war for which the shriekers
against imperialism were largely respon-
sible. The only peril now threatening
the United States is ruin and retrogres-
sion under silver, the turning back of
the wheels Of progress and prosperity
to the standards of China and Mexico, |
and the abandonment of our position as
the greatest country in the civilized |
world.
Shall we go forward or shall we turn |
back? That is the question for the vot-
ers in November. Under Mckinley we

The Hutchinson family of singers are

a generation since they appeared in the
West, it is more than that since they
were in the height of their popularity.
Their sweet voices, attuned to simple
melodies, entranced teEs of thousands
all over the. country and wherever they
went they received hearty welcome.
Interest in this band of singers has
been recently revived by an attempt
made by the children of John W. Hut
crimson, the only survivor of the origi-
nal family" to cast him into an insane
asylum and gain possession of his prop
erty. The attempt failed, for the Judge
before whom the case was heard decid-
ed that the veteran, although past the
allotted years Of man, is still mentally
capable of caring for his estate
The family was in many respects a
remarkable one. There were sixteen
brothers and sisters, all gifted far
above the average with musical voices
1t remained for three Of the brothers,
John, Judson and Asa, with their sis
ter, Abby, to blend their voices in per-
feet harmony. The emancipation of the
slave and the prohibition of the liquor
traffic became their watchwords.
When the brothers first started on
their campaigns of song they entered
into compact to abstain from the use
of tobacco and alcohol and demoraliz-
ing associations. The compact was
never broken. John Hutchinson's voice
Is still sweet and tuneful, and when.
warmed to his subject it rings out with
wonderful power. He has given in his
long musical career more than IL 600
concerts, and though so years Of age on

The coming test of the silver question
at the polls must, in all human prOba-
bility, be the final one. The will of the
voters twice registered will not be the
third time disputed. Each year that we
preserve our present money standard
gives it additional security. The Amer

versal of the popular verdict Of 1895
would mean a reversal of all the achieve
ments that make up our national pros
perity Bryan's election would mean that
the sovereign people had decreed that our
laborers shall be paid in silver, while
our foreign debts must still be paid in
gold.
Convinced as I am that the financial
question is the paramount issue in No
vember, 1900, as it was in November,
1896, it is worth while for Democrats
who supported Mckinley, as l did, four
years ago, to ask what are the issues
upon which our party could have appeal
ed to the American people with fair pros
poets of success, and what we can con-
tend for in future contests, after this
economic and financial question is finally
settled. To my mind these define them
selves as reform in governmental admin
istration, economy in governmental ex-
penditure, the taxation and regulation OF
oppressive trusts and combinations, and
the immediate enactment of just and
honest scheme of colonial government.
L ryh
every patriot could have been honestly
asked to vote. Why should we not set
fairly about reform in our old system
of taxation, and, at the same time, init
ate departure which might well result
in throwing the cost of government upon
those who can best afford it?
The silver problem solved once for all, as
it will be in November, the colonial prob
lem at once becomes paramount. We
must either give up Hawaii Porto Rico
and the Philippines, haul down our flag,
and shamefully abandon the righteous
fruits of our prowess by land and sea,
or we must prepare to govern these dis
tant additions to our country fairly and
honestly and capably. A per-
petual, constitutional barrier must be
erected against the statehood of all our
non-contiguous possessions. That su-
premely important problem is to be met
and overcome, not by cowardly evasion
or disgraceful retreat, for the American
people will tolerate no such course. We
must institute honestly and wisely and
administer economically an American CO.
lonial system, worthy alike of our new
possessions and of their mother country.
We are not incapable Of governing them.
We are, as nation, incapable of nothing.

American republic. and that we are wise
and brave enough to bear the burdens

present day unparalleled prosperity. in
which every citizen has a right to share.
If any citizen is prevented from sharing
in that prosperity, he is the victim Of
conditions which cannot be righted by
the election of Bryan, strongly as he may
be tempted to trust in that remedy. I'm
der the gold standard we have become
the leading creditor nation, and we are
financing the world. We have produced
three great crops in succession, and we
are feeding Europe. We have had three
years Of unexcelled manufacturing in
dustry, and we are finding prompt and
generous market all over the world. The
American farmer, the American laborer
and the American business man were
never as prosperous as they are to-day.
1t is by their SURFACES that this presiden-
tial election must be decided. In what
direction do their interests lie?
The American farmer is selling for
3715 cents a bushel corn which it costs
him Is cents to produce. His wheat and
cotton, his beef and pork are selling at
profitable prices. he is spending his
money in luxuries and enjoying himself.
He is riding in railroad trains, and, as he
looks from the car windows over the
bountiful harvests, he is taking a new
view not only of his native land, which
was never fairer or happier, but is also
thinking of his new markets and new
possessions" across the seas.
The laborer is to-day receiving more
wages than he ever received before, and
he is receiving them in a currency that is
good all over the world. In many in
stances, undoubtedly, there must be a
readjustment of wages, and the sporadic
strikes now reported in various manufac-
turing centers point probably to the be-
ginning of this readjustment. In my opin-
ion, these and kindred difficulties will be
safely and speedily settled.
Now, can any sane man tell me how
the laborer VIII help his condition, or the
solution Of the problems so vital to him.
by voting to debase our standard of value
and thereby reducing his own wages?
What has labor to hope from Bryan,
ostensibly the friend of the dissatisfied,
the champion of the aggrieved, and the
chosen candidate of all the long-haired
reformers in the United States? Does
not the supreme salvation of labor de-
pend, after all, upon, preserving our
standard Of value, upon the non-partisan
regulation of trusts, and upon the appli-
cation to those great commercial aggre-
cations, which are so peculiarly pro-
duct of this age, of system Of license
and taxation? Is it not idle to denounce
the trust as an evil, menace to the ma
tional welfare? Is not the trust a nat
ural and essential development Of our
time? A quarter of a century ago the
word Corporation" implied an inherent
reproach in the minds of exactly those
citizens who to-day regard the trust,
which is the incorporation of corpora
lions, with the same disfayor. Yet it is
to the solution of the trust problem that

Have an Antipathy to soap.

Some few years ago an unfortunate
discovery fer time menaced the tran
guilty and almost the existence of
some of the geysers in Yellowstone
Park. The story goes that an adventur-
GUS Chinaman once essayed to use the
bowl Of one of the geysers for the pur-
pose of washing clothes, the tempera-
ture Of the water appealing to his ORR
entail mind. Everything went well un-
til he began to use soap, when sudden
ly violent eruption seized the appar-
emily innocent geyser, hurting clothes
and all into the air. The experiment
was tried on other geysers with similar
results, and for a time it was consid-
cred a great blessing, as, when large
tourist parties arrived, it was a great
convenience to bring on a special dis
play by "soaping the geyser," as 1t was
called; while before the advent Of the
Chinaman and his soap, some of the
most beautiful geysers often remained
stubbornly inactive for days and often
weeks and months.
After time, however, 1t was discov-
cred that this soaping was slowly but
surely harming the geyser action. '.tir-
