 In accordance with the statements made few days ago by Colonel John Evans concerning his views of the ex- isting conditions in this country he has offered the following arguments for publication.
 "Yes, believe that capital and labor should shake hands once in while, Labor is thhe producing element of the world. Where would capital exist or what would it amount to if the pro- ducing element should stand still. Where would the silk markets be sup piled from if the machinery should stop and labor that manuipulates and perfects this machinery refuse to pro- ceed in the work?
 What produces capital but labori When I came to this country thirty year ago a little three inch space in the Evening Democrat would hold the names of all the men in America worth from $2,000,000 to $100,000. To-day the names of millionaries would fill column after column and capitalists nowadays. count their wealth by the hundreds of thousands. Where has all the wealth been obtained if not from the producing clement of the country? Some may offer as an answer, specula- tion. What has spread wide open the fields of speculation. Was it idleness or industry?"
 ''This trust question is not handled in Pi O m TnCfp1d ting twenty pounds of sugar for $1 to supply the wants of my family. to-day we get only fourteen pounds for the same amount of money. Some say 'OhI it will be better for the laboring man I can't see it. Will somebody show it to me? The laboring man don't earn any more than he did year or five years ago. When I pur- chase busheI of corn to feed my poultry I pay one-third more than l did six or eight months ago. Is it on account of scarcity? No! It is be- cause the trusts have the corn mar ket absolutely under their control.
 @We cannot suppress an evil like the trusts by making a loud nose or re- monstrating uselessly. It's like trying to hold wild horse by single hair. Let us legislate against the trusts and then we will get the horse by the head. This country is supposed to be govern ed by the people and for the people. Come on MT Workingman.'
