EVERYBODY IS AFFECTED.
No Matter What His Occupation, Every WOrkinGman Is Op-
 pressed by Combines.

How do you like the trusts as far If you are a farmer have you bought any barbed wire or other trust pro- duced article lately and have you reck- oned how much tax you are paying the trusts? If you are railroad man have you been thrown out of em- plovment or forced to seek another field of labor by the combine the railroads have entered upon? If you are a storekeeper you have come i'll contact with the oil trust, the sugar trust, the cereal trust, the tobacco trust and a good many others and you find they are not only cutting your profit but dictate what you shall sell and where you shall buy.
 If you are clerk or bookkeeper you have found that the coal trust and the beef trust are getting more of your income than you can afford and while they are paying millions of profit, you are unable to save penny.
 If you are a member of labor union you know what the trusts are doing and that the steel strike is but the beginning of an attempt to over throw organized labor and then ls' duce wages. The cotton mill trust has just reduced wages IA per cent.
 The railroad combine is gradually advancing rates, there is dearth of potatoes, they have raised the rates on this necessity from the Northwest to Chicago nearly 25 per cent. and freight on coal has been advanced in about the same proportion. These advances are but the opening wedges for the ultimate extortions that it is nossible for the trusts to force all to pay. That they will be cautious in making increased prices is also cer- tain. for they are managed by the shrewdest men in the world. They are now engaged in forcing their goods into foreign markets at prices averaging 25 per cent. less than they charge us at home. This they are enabled to do through the protection granted them by the tariff

PRESS COMMENTS.

When Mark Hanna runs for president as the friend of organized labor you'll see the trusts backing his bunko game for all they're worth.-St. Louis Republic.
 That transport that shipped the water through her portholes, enough to put out her fires directly she wealth cred the Golden Gate, can hardly be considered a safe boat to carry Uncle Sam's soldiers, though she did cost a barrel of money, which no doubt some one got a commission out of.
 What right exists anywhere to gorge the trusts with money forced from the pockets of the people? It is robbery-highway robbery-without an atom of justifica tion, save to the extent the trusts subsidize the repub- lican party, with which they are in close financial partnership. - Pitts burg Post.
 The Pennsylvania democrats find more than enough issues demand ina the attention of the common wealth without involving national is sues in a state campaign. They "de- plore the need of making the question of common honesty and decent admin ;stration an issue,'' but such is the in- eyitable result of "the outrages of the republican machine government" which have made Pennsylvania shams byword.- d.-Albany Argus,

TRUSTS FosTERED BY TARIFF
Artificial Bo1stering of the Tariff Has Made America the Home
 of Trusts.

The protective tariff league, whose publication bureau is just now espe- cially active in denouncing any repub- licans who favor revision of the tariff is also informing its devotees that there are trusts in free trade England, and therefore it cannot be protection that breeds trusts, or fosters them; so that something else must be looked for that is the ''mother of trusts"
 This view of the matter is comment- ed on by the Washington Times, which says: "The champions of the tariff pampered trusts in the United States have been in the habit of meeting the demand for the removal of duties from trust-controlled products by pointing to England, where, it is said, there are many trusts fiourishing un- der the banner of free trade. That sort of argument may be satis- factory to those who are anxious to be satisfied, but it ought not to be to one who is honestly seeking a remedy for what is undeniably very great evil.
 eff the claim has ever been made that there are and can be no trusts at all without the aid of the tariff, the claim has been thOughtlessly urged by only few not very well-informed peo- pie. Large capital and combinations in business are nearly always an ad- vantage to those who combine. Ob- viously an individual with million dol lars capital can make many profitable turns in business that are impossible to man whose capitalis is only $5, ,000 or $1O,00o. This is true in England as it is anywhere else.
 But the circumstance that larra capital has an advantage in and of itself does not prove that it is wise to increase the advantage by relieving it of all competition and giving it a complete monopoly by tariff laws which operate directly to that end. To illustrate: If an English trust unreasonably advances the price to the consumer, foreign goods will at once come ill and bring the price down again. In the United States, the price may be set up 25 or 30 per cent. and still the for eign goods cannot compete for tire protection of the American consumer. The result is that the English trusts are forced to content thems selves with profits no greater than flow nat urally from the advantageous work ing or their larger capital; while the American trust not only has this ad- vantage, but very much greater one in the tariff which enables them to charge the American consumer 25 or 30 per cent more than the same goods are worth in the worlds mar lets. The man who does not see the difference between the two cases must be either willfully blind or most woefully stupid. It is the artificial bolstering of the tariff that has liter ally made the United States the home of the trusts, and has swollen them to such proportions that the greatest combinations in england look like babies by comparison.
