Minor Notes from The Form


The fact that party stood for the
right thing years ago is no guarantee
that it is right now.
Let's see, what does democracy
stand for anyway? Grover Cleveland
and W. j. Bryan please answer.
Do you want a rational money sys-
tenn based an the wealth of country?
II so, vote the peoples party ticket.
Do you want the railroads to con-
tinue making you pay dividends on
watered stock? If so, vote the re-
publican ticket.
Private monopoly is poison that
is eating into the vitals of the nation.
The OILY antidote is public owner
ship of public utilities.
Do you want to help pay nine mil
lion dollars a year to the Morgan
shipping trusts, in addition to regular
freight rates? If so, vote the republi-
can ticket.
Every age has it's great questions to
settle. The trust question is the one
demanding settlement now, and it will
stay with us until it is settled right.
Blind partizanship will never solve it
right.
When you go to the polls on the
fourth of November first take glance
at your empty coal bin and then ask
yourself if it would not be better to
have the government own those coal
carrying roads that are responsible
for the coal monopoly.
When you meet a man these DAYS
wearing a look of intense abstraction
as if he were trying to solve some
great puzzle you can safely wager
that he is a republican. He is simply
trying to cypher out where his party
is at. Hanna says there are no trusts
Roosevelt says the trusts exist, some
good and a few bad ones. The good
ones must be left alone or there will
be an everlasting smash, the bad ones
must be regulated, but the tariff must
not be touched. Washburn says the
tariff must be reduced or entirely
taken off all goods competing with
trust-made articles. The best way to
end this horrible suspense would be
to leave the party and joining the
peoples party, which has a definite
platform.

Probably never again will the price
of anthracite and bituminous coal re-
cede to the lowest former figures after
the public will have become accus-
toned to the high prices. The coal in
the ground thus becomee more valu-
able asset, because, whenever it is
mined it can be sold at higher prices
than heretofore. When the strike is
settled and the companies are able to
mine to their fullest extent, the per-
manently higher price will mean enor-
nous increase in revenues. Take, for
instance, full years operatian, say
from January LIST next. Suppose the
anthracite companies next year mined
80, 900, 900 tons, and bituminous com
panies mine and market 200, 900, 900
tons. 1t is calculated already that at
least So a ton can be safely added to
the average price which the companies
will get for their product next year,
This means $500, 100000. One may
say that this equity value has already
been given to the coal not yet mined.
In this sense the coal companies may
be said to be really benefting by the
continuance of the strike. wall

THE VITAL ISSUES. -.

Have you noticed that there is not
so much talk of the "craziness'' of
1populism nowadays as there was ten
years ago? Those who were. in thick
OF the fight at that time will remember
that the chief argument" used by
the opposition WAS that the populists
we're crazy anarchists" Now they
are treated with more consideration.
Whyp Because events have forced
them to acknowledge the truth Of our
Willmar tribune. [volume] (Willmar, Minn.) 1895-1931, 1902-10-01

Every legislature for years past has
been appealed to by petitions from all
parts of the state, signed by thousands
of citizens, to pass q county option
law which would give the people of
each county the right to say whether
or not licenses shall be granted inside
of county limits. These petitions
have invariably been disregarded.
Willmar tribune. [volume] (Willmar, Minn.) 1895-1931, 1902-10-01

prophecy regarding the danger Of con-
centration of wealth. All the parties
are now talking of that, from Pres
ident Roosevelt down to the merest
crossroads politician. The republic
cans are trying to convince the people
that their party is the one to deal
with the danger. The democrats havefor
the last six years been wearing the
danger signal. This is a great victo-
ry for populism. The people row
know we were true prophets. The
only question now is about the reme-
dy. The democratic party has prac-
tically dropped every other PROPOSE
tion and reverted to their favorite pam
acea-tariff reform. That is the slog-
an adopted by the democratic candi-
dates for congress in this state. Their
manifesto mentions no other means of
reaching the trusts. This plan if
adopted, would undoubtedly reduce
somewhat the profits of the steel trust,
the sugar trust and some others, and
hasten the the formation of inter-
national trusts in these branches of
industry. But what about the rail-
road combinations, which compel the
people of the United States to pay
profits on stock and interest on bonds
to combined amount of over twelve
billion dollars? Would tariff reform
tighten this burden? Would it re-
move the discrimination which enables
one corporation to "freeze out" it's
competitors? Would it remove the
discrimination that builds up one city
at the expense of another? We notic-
ed in a newspaper article lately that
Mankato and St. Peter enjoy II cent
rate from Chicago, while New Ulm,
only few miles distant, pays q
cent rate? Do the citizens of New
Ulm see anything in tariff reform
that would give them an equal chance
with the dealers in Mankato and St.
Peter?
Is there anything in tariff reform to
curb the absolute power of the Stand
ard Oil Company? Will it reduce the
extortionate tolls of the express CON-
panies, who by the way are now plan
ming a merger that would do away
with the chance for competition in that
line? Would it make telegraph rates
more reasonable? Would it give us
a rational money system?
Oh pshaw Tariff reform as a
remedy for monopoly and dangerous
concentration of wealth would be
about as effective as rubbing liniment
on the heel of patients shoe in Or
der to cure him of an attack of brain
fever.
The repu blicans prescribe the anti
trust law, which has been in full force
since two years before the formation
of the peoples party. The fact that
monopoly evil has grown and flour
ished in spite of the existence of this
law is evidence enough that it is in
effective.
Roosevelt talks of an amendment
to the constitution giving the federal
government power to control trusts.
To this there are two answers. First,
the republican party has made no use
ofthe limited power now possessed, and
therefore we have no reason to be-
lieve they would use any stronger
means put into their hands. Second,
it is impossible to pass such an
amendment. The democrats see in it
an attack on states rights, and they
control enough states to prevent the
passage of an amendment obnoxious
to them.
Thus the talk of the two old parties
amount to no more than an acknow-

ment of the existence ofdanger. They
stand practically helpless before the
evil. But their talk will lead people
to recognize the danger and when
they have come to a full realization
thereof they will turn to the peoples
party as the only one that proposes to
60 to the root of the matter and make
combines innocuous by taking posses
sion of the means that make them
dangerous.
