NEW YEARS DAY RESOLU:

While good resolution can be made
at any season, the beginning of the New
Year seems an appropriate time for
turning over new leaf. Z" 1t ought
not to be difficult to give up bad
habit, since an intelligent self interest
prompts one to do that which will be
Of benefit to himself; and vet some
special stimulus is often necessary.
The Commoner, says Mr.. Bryan, is
published primarily for the support
and advancement Of democratic princi-
pies. The editor desires to aid in &c.
curing those reforms which he believes
would be helpful to the people
generally, but he recognizes that under
the most just government and the most
perfect laws individual happiness
would largely depend upon individual
merit Even when the government
does all that it can, it cannot make
a wicked man happy or protect a
thoughtless man from the trouble
which his conduct invites
AS our lives are built upon ideals,
the greatest service which can be
rendered to one is to raise his ideals
and give him broader view Of life.
A parent does this by example and by
daily precept; the teacher in the pulpit
and in the school room does the same,
and the editor is not without RESPONSE
Ibility. Every one, in fact. has some
influence on some one, and that in
fiuence ought to be exerted for good.

times it measures the difference be-
tween success and failure No between

Instead of recommending that each
reader Of The Commoner give mp that

TRUSTS, COMBINATIONS AND
COMBINES.

What do you think of the hardware
combinef All the wholesale hardware
houses OF the country to be under one
management One board of directors,
composed of few shrewd. close, grasp
ing business men. and that board
dominated by a fewer number still of
its shrewders. closest. most 'grasping
members. to arbitrarily fix the price
of every hardware article sold. How
do you like this little Innovation If
the farmer wants to buy shovel or
rake or pillow, the subcommittee
of the Board of Directors of the
American Hardware Company will fix
the price, and from their decision there
will virtually be no appeal. Because
the law of supply and demand. and
competition, the only just and fair
arbiters of price have been outraged
and strangled. If the man in the city
starts to build house to shelter his
family, he must submit to whatever
charges this same company put upon
every lock and bolt, latch and key,
used in the building.
If this does not bring the trust idea
home to the people. nothing can.
And, it being the natural result of
republican legislation. there are those
who think that this and like objec.
lessons may defeat the party now in
power when they come again before
the people. But we do not think so.
We believe that every trust formed,
strengthens the Republican party for
the time being. For the reason that
the lords and kings of finance, who
own aud govern and control these
trusts, likewise own, govern and con-
troll sufficient number of leading, gov
erning and controlling politicians and
metropolitan papers, to make their
wall around the public crib almost i'm
pregnable; virtually irresistible to any
force, save the thunderbolts OF a
revolution.
1t is not question of when shall the
people be persuaded that the trust idea
is wrong. If that were all, we might
hope for speedy relief. They have seen
and heard and felt and know enough,
already. But the trouble is that the
public mind has been SO debauched by
this trust idea, that men who recognize
it as an evil, still embrace it as q
money making scheme. And once their
money is in it, then their influence
goes that way. With the leading poll
ticians proiting by trust dividends;
with the leading newspapers subsidized
to the trust interests; with the lead
ing banks and larger capitalists and
most prominent and influential business
men of, not only the cities but the
country. all or nearly all directly or in
directly interested in the trusts and
expecting to profit thereby with mil
lions Of money to buy the venal voter.
and no scruplss against it, how in the
name Of high heaven can the common
people hope. to overcome them.
