Mighty good democratic doctrine that.
During the last session of congress a
bill was introduced in the house by the
democratic leader which provided that
where a corpation or individual manu-
featuring any article reduced the price
in any locality below the cost OF pro-
duction, that price should prevail all
I'VE Ine country. Inc republicans
would not allow the measure
TO come TO a vote. They were
afraid TO so on record as voting
against such a law, for they knew its
enactment would be the d~eathblow to
the trust. The object of this law was TO
prevent the big ~Hronopolies forcing to
the wall smaller concerns that were
producing the same articles. 1t has
been the practice of the Standard Oil
Company and other big concerns that
as soon as they found a mall competi-
tor in the field TO Immediately reduce
below the cost of production the price
of the commodity in the territry of such
competitor and keep it there until the
latter either sold out TO the trust or
closed his plant through inability to
keep on running at a loss. AS soon as
this is done the price is put back at the
old figures. This has been done
time and again and : many indus
tries ruined by it. Several business
men in this state have been made bank-
rupt by this very process employed by
the tobacco trust. Had the republicans
allowed the bill above referred to to
become a law there would be no more
of this crushing out of small industries
by those gigantic concerns which wish
to control the market of the whole coun-
try and are enabled to do so through
the fostering care of the republican
party.

THE STATE

If there is not a full democratic vote
polled in this state on November 4th il
will not be the fault of the leaders of the
party and the speakers who are can
wasting the state. What apathy there
IS lies, not with them, but with the peo-
pie. 1t is one Of the most vigorous
campaigns for an off year we remember.
Nearly every democrat in the state who
has any reputation as a speaker is on
the stump and from all good
work is being lone by them. 1t is well
that it is so for the people seem to be
taking remarkably little interest in pol
isics this year There are many who
do not seem to care whether their rae
tY wins or not. They do not appear 20
understand the Importance of his cleo
ton. This is an important election-a
very important one and every demo-
cratic vote is needed. Do not let a
single man think his vote is not needed,
and therefore not take the trouble to
go to the polls, but go and plump q
vote for sustaining the constitutional
amendment and for the continuance of
good government in the state.

careful thought and after il had beer
fully discussed. Their determination
was no hasty action of men who were
anxious to get rid OF a bad job. They
had the terms of the proposition ex-
planned to them and after due consider
alton they decided to accept the propo-
sition Of the president and let his board
pass upon their grievances This decis-
ion was mace by a convention OF DELE
gates, a large majority of whom were
u~ninstructed- They met heard full
statements from Mitchell and the other
leaders and after debating the matter
among themselves decided to accept tin
proposition and in the mean time TO
return to work.
It is to be hoped that this arbitra~
ton board will make such a thorough
investigation into the conditions of at
fairs in the coal mines and will max.

ture that strikes and Iockouts in this
industry will become a thing of ne

ATTORNEY GENERAL KNOX ON
TRUSTS.

In his speech on trusts before the
Pittsburg chamber of a few
nights ago Attorney General Knox
knocked silly those of his republican
friends who have been raising all over
the country the cry that there were no
trusts. He admitted that there were
trusts, in the usual acceptance of that
term, and he admitted that they were
evil. He not only admitted this, but he
pointed out what these evil features
were. 1t was a heavy lick he gave
some of his party friends when he said
that none denied these evils except those
who had profited by them. Here is
what he said on his subject:
That there are evils and abuses in
trust promotions, purposes, organiza-
lions, methods, management and effects
profited by those evils. That all or any
of these abuses are to be found in
every large organization called a trust
no one would assert who valued his
reputation for sane judgment. The
conspicuous noxious features of trusts
existent and possible are these: Over
capitalization, lack of publicity of oper-
alton, insufficient personal responsible
ty of officers and directors for corporate
management, tendency to monopoly and
lack of appreciation in their manage
ment of their relations to the people,
for whose benefit they are permitted to
exist"
But with all this he has to make an
excuse for their existence, or RATHER to
try to Reuse his party for allowing

] eliminating in prices he advances q

THE DUTY OF 4 VOTER.

Only four days in which you can reg
lister. The registration books close on
Saturday next and if your name is not
on your precinct o. by that time you
will not be able to vote. Remember
this. 1t is important TO the democratic
party that it's majority at this election
should be overwhelming. The party
should not be content with winning
victory by the skin of it's teeth. 1t
wants a rousing and sweeping triumph
in the way of endorsement of the con-
stitutional amendment and approval by
the people of its record. It should not
be satisfied with a rare majority-an
election so close as TO give the republi-
cans reason to hope that they can carry
the state for their presidential candi-
date two years hence-but its victory
should be so decisive as to show to the
country that the principles of democra-
cy are deep rooted in he hearts of the
entire state; that the professional men,
the mercantile class, the promoters of
n states industries, the wage earners
and the farming element are united in
the cause n are determined that de-
mocracy shall prevail against republi-
canism within our borders.
Because there have been cut out of
the ontest seventy thousand or a hun
dred thousand negro voters is no reason
why a single democrat should show less
interest in the success of his party.
Every white man should deem it a priv
ilege to cast a vote for what he consid-
his people. Do not look upon it as a
personal favor conferred upon your
cast a vote for him. 1t is not for that
the right of suffrage is conferred upon
o 1t is that you may express by
your ballot your sentiments as to the
principles upon which this government
be conducted. There are two par
ties seeking your support, with ideas of
government as far apart as the poles,
and as you vote for the opponents of one
or the other theory so you ally yourself
with that party. 1t is not the man you
vote for but the ideas of government
his party advocates that you endorse.
