Scott and the Trusts.

Charleston Gazette.
The public cannot understand why
it is that Senator Scott and the Re-
publican leaders are so frantic in their
denials that Scott made the state
ment that he believes in trusts. He
said nothing everybody does not al
ready know. Not only does Senator
Scott believe in trusts but SO do all
the other leaders OF the Republican
party. If not why have they done so
much to encourage and foster them
If not why is it that they have taken
no steps and made no efforts to curb
or demolish them? They have had all
the power within their own hands-why
have they not used it2 Are they fool
ISL enough to believe that they can en-
courage and aid trusts, assess them for
campaign funds and then deceive the
public by the nrre empty denial that
they are in faytl OF them? The peo-
pie are not so easily deceived The
only difference between Senator
Scott and the other Republican lead
ers is that ne does not know any bet
ter than TO admit that which be knows
his whole party approves. L was an
innocent slip OF the tongue, Just the
way that truths come out that, would
otherwise not become known.

Some time ago a scheme was devised

THE REASONS
Why Democrats Opposed n Constffu-
tional Amendment Against the
Trnxtx

Why Democrats Opposed a Constffu-
tional Amendment Against the
Trusts.
Special to the RegisreS
WASHINGTON, D. c., Nov. The
question is being asked ''why did the
Democrats vote against the so-called
Antitrust constitutional amendment,
dictated by the Trust magnates and
proposed by the Republican leaders in
Congress?"
The following are the reasons for
this action upon the part of the DEM
ocrats:
/. No constitutional amndment is
necessary. because the Constitution as
1T now stands gives full power to Con-
gress to suppress and destroy all trusts,
and there is now a law on the Federal
Statute Book giving such power,
which, if the Republican attorney
general appointed by Mr.. Mckinley at
the dictation of the trusts. and If this
encouragement were not dominated
by the trusts. he would enforce.
?. This proposed amendment sought
TO take away from the several States
the power and right to pass laws to
suppress or control the trusts by
State legislation. A number of the
States under existing conditions have
enacted and are now enforcing strin-
gent Antitrust laws, which laws the
Supreme Court of the United States
has frequently held to be constitu-
tional
8. Had the so-called Antitrust
amendment been agreed upon, It would
have required the ratification of the
State legislatures before 1t could have
gone into effect. and trust magnates
veil knew that for reasons above
stated this would never be done.
4. An Antitrust law more stringent
than the Sherman law OF 1890 was pass
ed by the lower house of Congress
during its recent session, in ample
time for the Republican Senate TO have
passed it, yet through the influence of
the trusts. the measure was pu. to
sleep in the latter body
Thus it is plain enough TO under
stand why the Democrats opposed this
sham, and this political subterfuge In
troduced for the sole purpose of try
ing to deceive the people Mark Han

THE LESSON OF 1890.

The Republican campaign managers
either deny or mildly ridicule the en-
tirely justifiable charge that they con-
template wholesale fraud upon the
ballot in this State next Tuesday.
They wouldn't be guilty of such a
thing. Not they. They are above that
sort of means to an end, they are. and
they rely upon a straight, honest and
Cnintimidated vote, so they dc.
Well let's see about it.
We all know what happened in 1896,
only four years ago. We won't cover
the entire State, for that would be
superfiuous. But We'll take five coun-
ties, as an example of the whole:

AN APPEAL
BY Typographical Union No. @ to the
Wage Farmers of the United states.

TYPOGRAPHICAL UNION NO. 6.
Offices of the President and Secretary,
1918 Chambers street.
NEW YORK, October 80, 1900.
To the Wage-Earners of the United
States:
That the voters of the country, par
ticularly the wage-earners, may clear
ly understand the position OF Typo
the Republican party leaders and can
didates. we deem 1t wise 90 issue the
following final statement:
Notwithstanding the fact that the
New York Sun persists In refusing 10
unionize its office, or even to treat with
the employees it locked out or with
the officers Of the Union of which the
locked-out men are members
The Republican party leaders con-
tinue to recognize the UNFAIR SUN
as their official organ and mouthpiece.
The Republican party leaders gave
81 columns OF lucrative advertising
patronage to the Unfair New York Sun
In four days in the month of October,
1900;
The Republican party leaders main
tain that the influence Of the unfair
New York Sun is of more value to their
party than the support Of the members
of trade unions;
The Republican Governor OF New
York, now a candidate for Vice Presi-
dent, selected the New York Sun as
the official organ of the party in the
State of New York.
All this in the face of strenuous
protests, not alone of Typographical
Union No. 6, but also Of the Working
mems Federation Of the State OF New
York, the Central Federated Union OF
New York City. and innumerable sis
ter organizations throughout this State
and country.
Having exhausted every honora bic
effort to bring the managers OF the
Republican party TO a realization OF
their error and its consequent effect,
we present our case to you.
Does any political party which sup
ports the enemy Of the workingman.
whether organized or unorganized, de-
serve your suffrage?
With the fun knowledge OF the I'M
reasonable and unjustifable attitude OF
the Sun toward its employees OF thirty

relations between lie other Republi-
can newspapers and the union are most
friendly and satisfactory, the Republic
can managers deliberately and wiliHl-
ly insult honest workingmen by recog-
MIXING the sun in preference TO Repub-
lican newspapers which employ union
men. VIII you permit the insult to
go unrehuked?
We appeal to ron TO consider care
fully our arguments and our attitude.
not from political standpoint. but
from the view OF a workingman who
believes that the bread-earners have
certain rights which should be recog-
nized at all times and in all places.
Let it be distinctly understood. how

In support Of our position we again
call your attention to the tact that

THEIR ONLY HOPE.

The only tangible hope the State and
administration bosses have of carrying
West Virginia next Tuesday is through
the polling of fraudulent votes. With
an honest ballot and proper count they
have no hope for success, and thor
oughly approaching that fact, the man
ayers, ringsters, manipulators and their
aiderS and abettors in every county
have been instructed to poll every pos
sible vote, without regard to whether
it is legal or not, and have brought
or will bring into the State thousands of
non-resldents, white and black, VINO
have been or who will be quartered in
the various counties, with instructions
to vote at least once, but oftener, if
possible, and then move on, early in
, the day. to some other county, where
the fraud is to be repeated. The move
ment will necessarily be along the lines
of railroads, and strange faces will thus
appear at the voting booths in one
county in the morning and in another
in the afternoon, and votes will be
sworn in without conjunction for the
sake of few dollars and expenses paid.
Wheeling and Ohio county will not
be exempt from this fraud as it was
not exempt from it four years ago.
Marshall county will be another to be
watched in this end of the State. Tyler
will be another county open to fraud,
while Wood, Preston, Monongalia,
Taylor, Kanawha, Fayette, Mcdowell,
and many others will be the chosen
fields for Republican rascality. The
criminal vote will come from the Dis
trict of Columbia, North Carolina, Vir-
ginia and Pennsylvania, for the most
part, although not a few Ohio Repuh-
leans, after casting vote in their own
State for the sainted Mckinley, will
cross the river to repeat the act, if pos
sible, in some Yves Virginia election
precinct.
This matter must be watched by the
people without regard to party. One
notorious fraud at a Presidential cleo
ton in this State is enough to last for
a generation. The infamy of 1895 must
not be repeated. No one can possibly
object to an honest ballot and a fair
count, and all citizens should combine
to see to it that nothing else happens
next Tuesday. Fraud must be squech-
ed at any cost, no matter what. and the
guilty parties must be punished.

argued that the election Of 1896 was
an honest one. But when it decreases
nearly 1000, the idea of honesty is out
of the question wholly.
There was Republican fraud in the
election of 1896 in this State. The same
party has carefully laid its plans for
the same or greater fraud on next
Tuesday. If it succeeds, it will claim
that the election of four years ago was
honest, because the returns of 1900 are
il harmony. In reality, if the fraud
succeeds, the figures will show that
the election of 1900 on the Republican
side was as full of fraud as that OF
1896.
The thing for all reputable and hon.
est citizens to do is to form a combi-
nation to prevent the fraud fore

Coulu anything be more conclusive
of Republican fraud in 1896? The COM
parative figures between 1892 and 1896
and between 1896 and 1898 show beyond
the shadow of doubt that at the last
Presidential election in this State
thousands upon thousands of fraudu-
lent vCses were cast for the Republi-
can Presidential. State and Congres-
SIGNAL tickets. and that out of that
fraud came Republican success. Fraud
is the only explanation. The increases
in the Republican vote from 1892 to
1896, and the falling off in the Republ,
can vote in 1898, confirms it beyond all
question. The Democratic vote only
decreased 1926 in these five counties
from 1896, the Presidential year. to
1898, the "off year." The Republican
vote decreased 6.5s7! II it had de-
