 intends to practice what he breaches,
 in the conduct of his THE COM weekly paper, the Com MOVER AND moner; that he will buy THE OTHER no type, no paper no TRUSTS. ink. no material Of any
 kind manufactured by trust. If the statements made by dem- ccratic orators and hy Mr. Bryan him self last fall were true MT Bryan will have to run an ink factory, a paper mill and type foundry in connection with ths Commoner. In fact, We believe that all the raper used or sold in this coun- try is manufactured by concerns bourd to other concerns by busincss agree Tnents and so belong tn what NIT. Bryan has called a trust. lt is sale 10 say. however, that if MT. G:yan shoulI succeed in finding n5n-t"uSt ink, non trust type and noH-trust paper tae Commoner would he the most badly printed newspaper in the United States A nice thing about the trusts is the excellence Cf their productions. Every thing is better nov than it used to be- The paper of which newspapers are made is of a much better quality. Coal oil is Cr a higher grade than it Was when it was turned cut by hai dozen indcpenG mt companies. Sugar Is better. everything is better and cheaper. There is less aduitcrat.on and nearly everything now s-ld and used IS honest. In the days before the trusts American manufactures were so mo- t7rious throughout the world for thsir dishonesty that foreign country would buy from us only what it could not buy somewhere else. Dishonesty was a natural result of the hot com petition among our producers. They worked at cross purposes and at great expense. One could not honestly sell lower than another nor could nc procure cheaper labor. They ceas d trying 10 everreach each other by open methods. but each tried to put upon the market a cheaper, because lower class of goods.
 The trusts have purified all the rro- ductive industries of the country. By destroying competition they have de- stroyeI dishonesty. They arc produc' ing what the people want and they demand for it the cost of cheap sysaa
 
 q reasonable profit, perhaps not more than was received under the old cx' pcnyivc and dishonest system. The trusts are nrt honest because they fear God. but because they fear men. They have found honesty 70 be the hest bus. incss policy. If they should depart from it they would make room fo' other equally powerful. but wiser trusts and competition would be re- VivCd
 One uf the objections Of Mir. Bryan to trusts is that great combinations of capital have driven smaller producers out of business. That s true. but every class of society except that oi the small producers is the better for their exodus
 The CommOner itself In the nature of things is a weekly newspaper trust It had a subscription list before it w@i born of 5O.C0O. more than any ether eX- clusivcly weekly newspaper in Ne. braska or any adjoining state. II wiF enjoy the great advantage of Mir, Ery- ans ability and personal popularity and will fr~rc many wccklics out o' business. The crash of their fall, hn"- ever. will be unhedrd amid the shouts af welcome Co the Commoncr whicr Bryanitcs all over the land vii send up.
 Why, than, should nos the Com rnoner be ncighborly toward the ink the type, the paper and all the other trusts which have been formed for tho elevation of the human race?
