THE TRUST ISSUE.

ION the trust question, which is rapidly
associating itself in the public mind with
the tarln, the democrats have mad nttle
chance 10 do anything but talk, but they
have been watchful. They opposed In
committee the Fowler bill because Of IT'S
brunch banking features, which would
as they said, make a banking trust. While
not urging free silver the democrats
have shown themselves keenly sensitive
to the dangers OF contracting tine cur.
rency and the evils of money trust
The democratic position on the Phiup.
pines has been consistent and vigorous:
II is really the Issue upon wnicn they
have shown the most party conference.
ut Is to be regretted that the cause of
civil service reform at home. whicn
needed defenders at the time the census
office debRuch was planned, should not
have enlisted more democratic support
Altogether, however, the democrats
are standing together in much better
shape for the coming campaign than the
