The silver state. [volume] (Unionville, Nev.) 1870-1903, 1902-10-20

State of Nevada favor a bill which IL
intended to wipe out the 100000, 600 silver
dollars and thereby utterly destroy the
silver market? And yet this bill received
the vote of every Republican in the
House of Representatives except one, and
every Democrat voted against it.
Passing to the trust question, Mr.. Bar
tine said: 1T is beyond question that
the Republican party is controlled by the
money kings on the silver question. Why,
then, is this not true on other questions?
Every trust in the United States is the
( friend and champion of the Republican
party. Are they doing it for sentiment? :?
No. They are in business to build higher
the great mountain of profit and favor
the party which favors them. Would the
trusts throw their great influence to the
Republican party unless they expected
something in return?
Mr. Harrington says the Republican
party will take care of the trusts be-
cause President Roosevelt settled the
coal strike. Where is the connection?
Mark Hanna says the trusts are good
things, and yet he settled the coal strike
two years ago when its continuance i'm
peried Mr.. McKinley's election A per-
son who reads Roosevelt's speeches care
fully will be surprised to see how little
he says. He speaks ten words against
interference with the trusts to one for
1t. IF he is anxious TO curb the trusts
why did he wait until Congress adj
journed before he said a word about
trusts? If he wished anything done he
should have addressed Congress and not
the American people. He has not a word
to say about the connection between the
tariff and the trusts. AS matter of fact
the Republican party will not curb the
trusts because the trusts are potential
part of the Republican party
Mr. Bartine said he stood by every
principle of protection to American in
dustries but this meant protection only
until those industries were able to stand
alone Tariff favoritism above that could
have no other result than the formation
OF the giant monopoles of which there
are so many examples In this country. He
illustrated painly how the tariff on
trust-made articles enabled these mo-
nopolies to rob the American consumer
and at the same time undersel the man
ufacturers abroad.
Mr.. Bartine discussed the irrigation bill
ana Sa10 ne ndd never seen anytnlnR so
unfair as the manner In which the Re-
publican press is treating Mr.. Newlands
on this measure. When the bill first
passed they lauded the bin to the skies
and gave President Roosevelt the sole
credit for its passage. When they found
that Mr.. Newlands had something to do
with the passage of the bill they sud
denly discovered that 1t was bad meas
ure and that Mr. Newlands had every
thing to do with getting it through Con-
gress and making 1t bad.
Mr. Bartine concluded by referring to
the various candidates on the fusion
State ticket and said he had no doubt
that rock-ribbed Humboldt woud return
its usual majority for the ticket from
top to bottom He did not conclude un-
til II O'Clock. having made one of the
strongest speeches ever heard here. The
audience gave the closest attention and
applauded his utterances literally.
The meeting closed with three rousing
cheers for the speakers and for the
State ticket.
