The PEOPLES Mistake.

The success of the Republican party in
the Presidential election Immediately he
gan to show signs of an unbri,lled rush
by the specializing class, who assume to
he the chief factors of that party, into
grand enterprises for the exploitation of
our new possessions.
Railroads are being planned for grid
ironing Cuba, developing the great min
eral wealth which the island is credited
with possessing, and land syndicates for
agricultural enterprises in sugar, tobacco
and other products. The same is con-
templated for Porto Rico and the Philip
pines and great speculative era is antic-
ipated i'll new stocks based OH the pre-
sumptive wealth of these tropical
countries.
Franchises are expected as free gifts by
the government to these spectators, who
cut off from the argus eyes of the public
at home will run riot and plumber the
people who are native to the manor
born in those countries, who have no
rights these spectators are bound to
respect.
Owning the home government. in their
commercial ethics having paid their
money TO make the success Of the party
certain, or even possible, the government
will be expected to guard these new en-
terprises with a large standing army,
which with its accompanying extravar
gance and stealings will place an ever
increasing tax on the home industry and
steadily work an ever increasing public
debt, surprising that of the nations of
Europe in its magnitude, measured by
the great superior wealth of this country
compared with the wealth of the nations
of the European continent.
The history of the world is a revelation
of blunders and mistakes by the people
which required long periods through
many tribulatious to recover from, and
from which they have not wholly escaped
till new bluders plunged them again into
despair.
Few popular mistakes have been great
Ell than the one made by the blinded and
niisled people of the United States in the
choice of plutoeracy and all that it i'm
plies in their last election The cost
cannot be estimated which they will pay
before they can release themselves.
Years of tribulation they are sure to
suffer while they watch colossal fortunes
pile higher and higher year by year,
which trusts and monopoly draw from
the wealth labor produces, They, the
people, have made their bed deliberately,
it would seem, aud they will have to
lie in it.
Hardly had the election result been
announced till the trusts began putting
up the price of those necessaries of life
which they control. At the same time
they commenced to reduce wages, and
the wage earner's dinner pail commenced
to grow lighter and not fuller as he had
been led to expect. The tribulation of
the people Immediately commenced, and
the accumulations of wealth to take on
new growth. Hence the strikes which
threaten armed rebellion in the country.

What the rlilIionaires Think.

Chauncey M. Depew asked ]. Pierpont
Morgan few days after the election what
he thought would have been the result if
Bryan had been elected. Morgan is re-
ported as saying:
II don't dare let my imagination pic
ture what would have happened to this
country if Bryan had been elected, and |
have no idea that Mr.. Bryan, or any of
his supporters could have had the slight
est suspicion of what the effect of his
election would have been within twenty
four hours after the dispatches showed
that he had been successful.
IF they had, they would have been
appalled, and would not have dared to face
the responsibilities. We should have had
a financial and industrial panic unmatch-
ed probably by any in our own experience,
or, perhaps, IN the experience of the civ
1lized world. 1t would have been worse
This year than III 1896, because the con-
ditions were different now from those
that existed then. 1t is too awful TO
think about, and trust that never again
Will there be political campaign in this
country i'll which issues will be raised
which, If successful, would tend to bring
on what we should certainly have exper.
1enced if the election had been triumph
for Bryan instead of Mckinley"
These people are living in FOOLS para
disc. Against their paltry millions they
weigh the immense force of the American
people as dust i'll the balance. If every
man OF these Wall street stock gamblers,
railroad magnates, trust organizers aud
great bankers were sunk in the Atlantic
with all their millions chained to them,
the American people would never miss
them. After the little ripple their disap-
pearance made, like their dropping into
the sea would cause on the oceans sur
face, everything useful would move OH as
before. With all their speculation and
gambling stock deals they do not add to
the wealth of the nation a single dollar.
There are just as able organizers of bus
mess who do not own cent, who would
take their places in an hour after their
disappearance to direct business while
the industrial mass piled up new wealth.
Bryan's election might have caused a
jar to the schemes of these millionaire
dwellers in the FOOLS paradise, but it
would have been an encourager and stiul-
ulus to the millions of honest industry by
lightning up their hopes of brighter
future for them. But suppose Pierpont
Morgan's ideas were facts and the COM
paratively small millionaire class who in
their inflated conceptions of great wealth,
think as he does, this country has reached
an ignoble position that is servitude and
not freedom. The sooner the people
ascertain whether they dare elect Pres
ident of their choice who is not the choice
OF this self-assumed master class, the
better it will be for them. If we are to
have chaos, if our mushroom millionaires
are not satisfied, then let us have chaos
quickly.

In the Tolls of the Giant.

With an eleven hundred million dollar
steel and iron trust, a railroad trust with
even greater capital, and New York
bank trust in magnitude of capital and
power greater than either of its triplet
brothers, thoughtful people are beginning
to take the alarm. These mammoth
trusts now control the government by
carrying elections by the power of their
money, electing controlling number OF
members in Senate and House and the
President, as they did at the last election.
This no intelligent person who values his
reputation for veracity, of whatever party,
denies. 1t is very serious problem
which presents itself for consideration.
Every one can see that the Republican
party is completely powerless in the tolls
of this triple giant.

The following account of new
swindling scheme is clipped from
an exchange; "sharpers have a
new plan and are working it in
some parts of the State. They first
examine the court records in order
to get the names of the parties
against whom accounts are pending
and from the papers they gain a
pretty fair knowledge of the case.
They then drive to the home of the
victim and claim that they are au-
thorized to compromise the case for
q certain sum. AS the amount
seems reasonable, the parties in
many cases put up the money.
