Enormous Profits of Trusts.

The profits of the steel trust for the
past three months are said to amount
to $37 ,691, COG. The Philadelphia
Bulletin, a Republican paper, frankly
admits that the fact that this trust
could reap such enormous profits in so
short period Of time suggests the ad-
visibility of a reduction in the tariff
on iron and steel. The Bulletin esti-
mates that the annual profits of the
trust will be in the neighborhood Of
$3.50, 900, 000, or, in other words, about
100000 for every working day of the
year. The Bulletin says: The query
why the public should be forced to pay
prices which give the combination a
surplus oyer operating expenses Of
some $3,000,000 week, is likely to
be presented with increased earnest
ness in the interval before the next
assemblage of Congress. But the
Bulletin must not overlook the fact,
that the Republican party is respon-
sible for this situation and that the
Republican Congress could, in de-
gree, have remedied it, and yet the
Republican Congress adjourned with
out making an effort to repair the
damage which Republican policies
had imposed upon the people.-The
Con,n,oner.

ground that it will pay; those who
think that it opens up the Philippines
to proseliting insist that it is provi-
Dental, while those who are simply
seeking some reason for supporting
their party's policy fall back upon the
doctrine that circumstances got US
into the trouble ana that we must stay
in until circumsta ices get US out.
''Since the cleo ION of 1900 the
trusts have grown snl flourished under
the Republican administration, as
might have been expected. Almost
two years have elapsed since the last
presidential election, and no legisla-
tive attempt has been made to inter-
fere with them, and the executive
efforts, instead of being directed to-
ward the enforcement of criminal
statutes, are confined to the equity
side of the court and these efforts have
not in the least retarded the formation
of new combines.
"Since the election the fnanciers
are seeking TO carry their advantage
little further and are planning an asset
currency, system Of branch banks
and the redemption of the silver dol
lar. Recognizing the enormous in
iquity of the bill they did not dare to
press it during the campaign, but hav-
ing secured favorable report in the
House, postponed its consideration
until December.
''Since the election Republican
Congress has turned deaf ear to the
laborer's cry for relief from govern
ment by injunction and Republican
Senate has refused to grant the de-
mapd of the people for the election of
United States Senators by direct
VOTE"

The White Slaves of To-day.

The miners of the anthracite region
of Pennsylvania do not get enough to
eat. This is no mere statement of the
writer. 1t is officially reported by
United States officials.
The declaration is embodied in the
report of Lieut.. j. P. Bryan and Surgeon
Benton, who were detailed on re-
cruiting duty in that region by the
government. These officers have given
up effort to secure men for the army
because those who made application
were almost all below the standard of
physical requirement owing to lack of
proper and sufficient food.
What an Indictment
The anthracite miners are mostly
foreigners, lured in violation, many
times, of our immigration laws, by the
agents of the operators who promise
them chance to get on in the world
in America.
What do they getP
They are compelled to live like
mules and other chattels of the COM
panies. They must rent the huts pro-
yided by the companies. They must
buy food and clothing at the company
stores. Their children must be hur-
ried to the breakers before the age of
puberty.
In other words, they are white
slaves.
1t is no new thing, this practical
slavery. The Molly McGuires fought
it from 1862 to 1887. 1t was the Irish
then. Failing to crush that indomit-
able race, the coal barons replaced it
with Lithuanians, Poles, Roumanians,
Magyars and Italians.
The Italians, who work under the
fadrone system, Will not fight for re-
forms. They scatter at the first alarm.
The foreigners, for the most part,
are ignorant. 1t is designed to keep
them 30. Their children cannot be
educated. They must work at the
breakers. But these people are brave
and passionate to fault. Their FORE
bears in Europe have been fighting
tyranny for centuries.
Is 1t any wonder these slaves oc-
casionally rebel? And is it not strange
they do no more violencep
Is 1t any wonder these people i'm
bibe American ideas and envy the
Americans standard Of livingp They
love their children and want to give
them the American chance.
For the most part they have been
peaceable, patient, long-suffering.

A YOUNG LADY'S LIFE SAVED.

Those who propose to reorganize
the Democratic party, whatever that
means, should bear in mind that over
six millions of true Democrats will
have to be reckoned with. Mr.. Cleve-
land, Mr.. Hill and several others, who
have not kept the faith, met in New
York recently and made some miser-
able staggers at what they were
pleased to term 'harmony," but which
were nothing more nor less than bold
and stubborn attempts at lustifying
themselves for the part they had taken
In defeating the party that had twice
elected the chief spokesman at this
gathering to the highest Office in it's
gift. If there is to be a reorganiza-
tion of the party--if there is real
necessity for it (Which we do not ad-
miD-the reorganization must be en-
trusted to men who remained with the
party in 1896. Those who left it have no
right to expect to be entrusted with it's
reorganization, At least they should
not expect to be given the seat of
honor in the council chamber. 1t the
party is satisfied it was wrong in 1896
and 1900, then let the party itself re-
nounce its utterances and decide its
principles-and not the men who
sulked in their tents or openly es-
poused the cause of Mckinley, the
apostle of protection and the opponent
of every Democratic doctrine enunci-
ated since he first entered public life.

The Philadelphia Times says: 1.-THE
Democratic party has twice listened to
Mr.. Bryan through its great disasters;
it will be better for him now to listen
to the voice of the Democratic party
and to put himself in harmony with
its new life" How is one to recog-
nize the voice of the Democratic partyp
Is that voice to be judged by the
omissions in few State platforms in
the face of the clear and explicit tones
of the party's national platform that
has not yet been repealed or are the
omissions In these platforms to be ac-
cepted as the voice of the Democratic
party while the clear and explicit
tones of the North Carolina platform,
the Texas platform, the Arkansas
platform, the Nebraska platform, and
the platforms of the two Missouri
conventions echoing as they do the
voice.of the national platform, are to be
wholly ignoredP The Times would do
we'll to explain to its readers the
method it adopts in ascertaining the
"voice OF the Democratic party" How
did it happen that the men for whom
the Times speaks did not listen TO the
voice Of the Democratic party in 1896
or in 1900p Or will the Times deny
that a national convention has any
control over the voice OF a partyp-
