DEMOCRACY sure to Win

The New York Verdict. in its last
issue, finds much good omen for dem
OcratIc success in campaign waged
against the trusts, which includes, Of
| course, the greatest of all trusts--the
father of all trusts, the gold standard.
1t SAYS: 1T is democracy's year 10
triumph. Only in some storm of war
or on the dead swell- consequent
thereof does the same party ride into
the White House twice in succession.
From Jackson-a military heroic
Lincoln, this was true From Grant
TO Mckinley il was also true. 1t is
the democracy turn TO have victory.
Also it is demOcracy's turn to carry
New York, which presidentiaily has
swung pendulumhke. between the
parties since the long-ago canvass Of
George 3. Mcclellan. Think what
the trusts have done. They have
closed mills. They have thrown men
out of work. Notably and disas-
trously for Mckinley hopes TO come
they have cast idly loose, as CONNER
cial help not needed, an army corps
of 81, 900 commercial travellers.
Think what a thunderbOlt of po-
litical war these 81, 900 drum
mers' are like to prove against
repu blicanism, The trusts have pared
wages To the laborer. They have
put up prices to the public. No one
man in the land but has felt them
gnawing at his substance. Look about
and behold in sundry instances the
work of trusts. Bryan and democ-
racy owe such as Rockefeller and
Standard Oil 4 debt of gratitude. The
Standard Oil outrages in the Occur
d 'Alene have given Idaho to the de-
mocracy. Also they have flowed the
whole current OF the miner vote into
the sluices OF the BRYAN party from
ocean to ocean. Standard Oil offered
Monet, OhiO's attorney general,
$500, 900 a. a bride. Monett refused

will bring true folk to the Bryan

trusts maintain useless bleeding
disease, invoking war in those isles of

forces the government to spend 200
