made fruitful, the power Of the human
hand has been multiplied, the extent Of
human knowledge has been widened
and the boundary Of human hopes has
been amplified.
"And now we are asked to change
this system Of government for . system
such as other countries are every day
deprecating We are asked to abandon
these institutions, which are the SD.
preme fruits of the Christian civiliza.
tion, embodying in themselves all that
has been achieved for human rights
since the doctrine Of h uman equality
was first preached on the shores of Lake
Galilee, and we are asked to surrender.
Not because there are any signs Of i'm.
pending failure. but because it has
achieved the very plentitude Of success.
Surely this raises not merely the
issue Of American prosperity, but the
issue Of human progress.
Jefferson took territory to avoid
war. Mckinley is making war to take
territory. jefferson took contiguous
territory to do justice and avoid the
provocations of war in the future. Nc
Kinley is taking useless and remote
territory, which, if he succeeds in sub
DUNG, will cause future contests with
out number. Jefferson took territory
to incorporate into union Of states and
extend over it the beneficial influences
of our constitution and the glory of our
flag. Mckinley is seizing territory,
not to extend our constitutional gov
ernment over it, but to turn it over to
ofdceholders to be exploited and plumb
cred by syndicates and favorites."
In conclusion Mr.. Cochran said: Il
have no doubt how this campaign will
end. see on every side the proof that
justice will triumph now as it he's
always triumphed in this country. I
cannot believe that republic is in
danger that is,built upon all the virtue
which humanity has developed and
which is in itself the supreme outcome
of Christian civilization. That all men
are equal before the law is the natural
fruit Of Christianity. 1t will remain
while Christian civilization enlightens
the world and stimulates the heart of
man. As long as man is destined to
justice, to progress, as long az his eye
is fixed upon the eternal truths Of
heaven, the flag Of this country typify-
ing justice, the constitution which
secures it, inseparable, indestructible
and invincible, shall remain linked
forever and forever" PRO.

1 GRAIN DEALERS TRUST.
Latest Monopoly Is I coaspiraeJ
b Rob Farmers of
Their Profits.

p. E. Dowie, member Of the execu-
tive committee Of the National Demo-
cratic Travelling Mems Association.
and Of the Commercial Travellers Anti.
Trust League, arrived in Chicago yes
terday. He has just completed an ex-
tensive tour of Missouri, Nebraska,
and Iowa.
II have recently discovered" said
Mr.. Dowie, - gigantic conspiracy to
rob the farmers Of the country. The
latest product Of monopoly includes in
its membership about 600 big grain
dealers and elevator men in the terri
tory extending from st Paul on the
North 70 Kansas City on the South,
including the States of Wisconsin,
Minnesota, North and South Dakota,
Iowa, Nebrasks and Kansas.
''All the 600 and more memberes of
this newest thing in trusts, are pledged
to buy grain at one and . half cents
low, that 10 below the cash price, and
70 store for not less than one and . half
cents profit. The association engineer
ing the scheme IL to FIX the selling
price. Forty per cent of the profits are
TO go 70 the association, the balance
going to the dealers who are parties to
the swindle.
Grain dealers in the sections where
the trust is ut work, have been induced
to sign contracts and q regular system
Of inspection guarantees against cut
ting prices. Grain stations are estab-
lished here and there, and at each sta
tion the trust has an agent who has
authority to inspect the book of any
member of the association. A member.
ship fee Of 80 is charged. A fine Of
800 10 imposed il the agreement il

COCkRAN'S GREAT SPEECH.
Chicago Whooplng Il Up for Bryan
and Liberty Extracts
From the spsseh.

I'VE are told by our Republican ad-
versaries that the issue Of the cam.
paign is the preservation Of our national
prosperity. Iaccept that issue. I go
farther and I say. that on the results
Of this election depend not merely the
prosperity Of the American people, but
the prosperity Of the whole human race.
II believe that Republicans and
Democrats will concede the establish.
ment of this republic was the most op-
perfume contribution Of human progress
since the birth Of Christianity. The
benefit Of this republic to the human
race was not the adoption Of written
constitution. It was not the distribu.
tion of the powers Of this government
into various departments. Long be-
fore the convention met to deliberate,
long before the Declaration of indie.
pendence had been proclaimed in
Philadelphia. executives had admins.
tered governments. parliaments had
adopted and judges had interpreted
laws. But never in the history of the
race until The American people came
together to frame the system under
which they intended to live, was q
government established, not an infa-
mousassumption Of divine Intervention,
but on the consent and on the will Of
the people to establish justice, to pro.
vide for the common welfare and to
preserve TO the people and their pos
terity the blessings Of civil liberty.
1.-THE fruits of thas experiment have
been visible all over the world. They
have proved that the only sure pathway
to prosperity is obedience to the moral
law that justice is the fountain of
greatness, material, intellectual and
moral, q fountain that flows in every
increasing abundance among those who
remain faithful to the source. That
has been the one lesson which this
country has proved, proved by every
benefit which the human race had
derived from It. proved by the fact that
since this republic was founded the
peace Of the world has been preserved,
the well-being of this nation has been
advanced, industry everywhere has

Of the terms Of the pact.
"On its part. the association gua1an-
tees the grain dealers. who enter into
the agreement, protection from charges

may have their grain stored. II any
elevator attempts to break away OF
run independent, they guarantee to
have its supply Of cars shut Of, % that
it cannot ship grain to market in op.
position to the trust.
'since discovered the conspiracy, a
few days since, have been collecting
information concerning it. I ascer-
tained today that the promoter and
organizer of the trust 10 an ardent
Republican and superintendent Of one
of the largest elevators in the country.
1.-THE practical workings Of this COM
bination to rob the farmer are not diff.
cult to see. By getting all the grain
dealers Of a community enrolled -
members. it is impossible for the farmers
of that section to sell to anyone outside
the trust or to ship their grain away.
They must stand the loss of cent and
4 half bushel on the price of their
grain in order to find market. I am
no. ready to give the names. but will
do so SOON"
1t is said that the new movement to
compel the farmers in the states men
toned to accept less than the market
price to realize on their crops had its
inception in Chicago and that several
of the big elevator men and grain
dealers are interested In it.-Chicogo
