his party is preaching prosperity.
Then. too, the democratic press has
shown the country the abuses which
have grown up under the absolute
trust control Of the anthracite region.
Wageworkers fear that the other
trusts and monopolies will do tho
same thing, especially II the coal COM
bine succeeds in starving the miners
into submission.
1t Is well understood among work
ingmen that Hanna's efforts to secure
concessions for the miners are simply
a political ruse. He cares nothing for
them. If Mckinley were elected he
would not care if the operators cut
wages and forced their men to strike
again the day after election. The
time would have gone by when pro.
test could be filed at the ballot box.
The operators are suggesting that
they prefer to deal with the men in
dividually rather than with the Mine
Workers. union. This shows how lit.
tie sincerity there is in any PROPOSE
ton to settle the strike. A wage
scale signed with the union could be
enforced to some extent after cleo
ton. An agreement with the individ-
ual worker can be broken at any time
with impunity.
The old tactics Of coercion are being
applied with renewed vigor by the
trusts. Many of them are attaching
to new contracts a statement that
they will be void If Bryan Is elected.
This is expected to scare workmen
into voting for Mckinley in hope Of
retaining employment.
Wage workers have not forgotten
1896. They allowed themselves to be
duped then. The election of Mckinley
was followed by year of depression
much worse than anything which had
gone before. If Bryan had been
elected and every doleful republican
forecast verified the depression could
not have been greater.
This year the workingmen are not
to be coerced. They are going to vote
their convictions. They believe that
the Mckinley administration brought
prosperity to the trusts, but very lit
tile of 1t has filtered down to them.
They will see what Bryan can do for
them. Mckinley has had his oppor-
tunity. He has not fulfilled his prom
Uses.

A SENSATIONAL SCENE.
Extraordinary Row at Meeting Oh
Grnnd Trunk Stock holders.


Grand Trunk Stock holders.
London, Oct. 1O-There was a sensation
al scene at today's meeting of the share
holders of the Grand Trunk railway Of
Canada. between Sir Charles Rivers Will
son, president of the road. and Sir Henry
Tyler, the company's former president.
Sir Charles. after outlining the PROPOSE
ton which provided for Il reorganization
of the Chicago Grand Trunk by the Ca
madam company, said he had received a
letter from Tyler. expressing disapproval
of the reorganization and asking that the
letter be read before the meeting. White
with passion. Sir Charles declared that
the vile language employed by Sir Henry
justified him i'll putting the letter in the
fire. The president of the road continued
his denunciation of the former president
until the audience rose, crying: Put 1t
III the fire." Burn H." Shame" There
was a scene of great disorder and in a
moment the venerable figure of ex-Presi-
dent Tyler was seen walking toward the
directors rostrum. Cheers mingled with
groans greeted Sir Henry. who MAIN
tained that the Chicago Grand Trunk was
owned and controlled by the Canadian
Grand Trunk and that therefore the di-
rectors were making false pretenses when
they represented the reorganization as a
transaction between two independent con-
Germs. Continuing, Sir Henry asserted
that the scheme involved the Reputation
by Wilson of the Chicagos second bonds
which he asserted We're cut down from 5
to per cent.
The extraordinary spectacle was pre-
scented of a president and ex-president of
u great rail1 Dad standing before a howl
ing audience, both men shouting at once
and neither speaker being audible. 1t
was only when several persons stepped
forward with the intention of hustiing
Sir Hpury TYLER of the fhot ba

large majority approved the directors

the little village has done far better

Boston Traveller: Aguinaldo-by the
way, we notice that he is not dead
yet-offers $40 for each American who
surrenders. 1t should be remembered
that this is patterning after the
American plan of seeking to buy the
desertion of Filipinos. Turn about is
fair play, and perhaps the Americans
should be given a chance to make
dollar by surrendering, getting their
money, and then returning to their
friends. This is what the Filipinos
have been doing. Aggie is evidently
not deficient in the sense of humor.
