INFANT INDUSTRIES HAVE BE
COME GIANT MoNoPOLlES.

There can be no doubt but that the
Republican party has absolutely sur
rendered to the trusts. Let us trace
for a moment the progress it has
made along this line. 1t levied a tar
if upon the people of the country,
for the alleged purpose Of protecting
infant industries" but it solemnly
declared that, as soon as these indus
tries were able to withstand compe-
tition from abroad. the tariff would
be repealed. These infant pets" of
the Republican party have become
the great trusts of the country. They
are not only able to withstand com.
petition from abroad, but they are
selling abroad at prices that range
from ten to forty per cent less than
they sell at home to the American
trade. The result then is, dear
prices at home - cheap prices
abroad" Extortion from the people
who fostered, protected and sustain
ed them in the days of infancy, and
benefits conferred upon foreign
nations. The whole effect of the
tariff as it is at present, is to en-
able these corporations to stand be-
hind its prohibitive walls and de-
| spoil the people at home, while 9TH
er nations receive the benefit. And
! yet, the President blandly announces

WHAT Is A "PRIVlLEGED
CLASS"

We are accustomed to associate
the term with those who inherit
kingdoms. dukedoms, and certain
other hereditary powers. But, in
it's proper acceptance the term
privileged class" includes all those
citizens OR corporations exercising
powers and privileges which are not
open to all other citizens. For all
practical purposes it matters not
whether monopoly is created by the
decree of a despot or is established
under a general law which permits
the creation of an organization so
powerful that other corporations or
individuals can not engage in the
same business. The result in either
event, is the same.
The one great lesson that stands
out upon every page of written his.
tory is that men with unlimited pow.
er abuse their power. 1t matters not
whether this power is In the hands Of
despots, who exercise the functions OF
government, or is found in grants
which create Monarchs in the com
mercial world, the end has always
been extortion from the people.

that the tariff has nothing 70 do
with the trusts"
Who today can defend the Repub-
lican party? The trusts absolutely
control its policy. They dominate its
conventions. While they keep one
hand securely on the fruits of special
privileges, with the other they steer
the Republican machine, and con-
tinue to use it for the oppression OF
people.
l say again. the strength of the
Republic is the independence of the
citizen. The only man who is truly
independent is the one who can earn
his living despite the dictation or
mandate of any other man or any
power. This was the condition OF
our fathers. 1t is not the condition
of our country at present.
If the march of the monopoly IS
to be arrested and the business OF
the country again turned into health
full channels, the work must be done
by the Democratic party. The Re
publican party has surrendered body
and soul.
In this battle, l want to see Mis-
souri's Democracy remain the CEN
trail phalanx of the Democratic army.
Her standard must be placed in no
uncertain hands.
We may as well expect the bitter
est Of onslaughts. The Republican
party will command the millions of
the trusts, and will endeavor to
create enough discord within u
ranks to win by unlimited use of
money. There never was greater
necessity than now for the Demo-
cracy of the State and Nation to
close it's ranks. In this grave crisis,
the desires of individuals should be
subordinated to the party welfare.
For my part, l have no ambition so
great that l am not willing to lay it
aside, rather than see the interests
of the great party love, j~eopardized.
Whatever may be the decision OF
the Democracy of this state, 1t can
command my services in the future,
as it has in the past. l will serve
in the ranks as loyalty as at the
head of the column.

repetition of the baseless charge. And
to make an end of the Globe-Dem-
ocrat and the Kansas City Star, and
drop the noisome topic, let us go a
little into history.
The greatest mass of official cor
ruption yet discovered grew up and
flourished under the Ziegenhein adj
ministration in st. Louis. Did the
Globe-Democrat sound ever a note of
warning? Did it expose the naked
villianies of that infamous regime?
Not at all. On the contrary, it was
its sponsor at birth. it's defender
through life, and remained its stout
adherent until the final end. 1t OPP
posed by all possible means the cleo
ton of Rolla Wells, whose admins
tration compared with that of lie
genhein is as healthful hand clasp
to a leper's loathsome touch.
In like manner the Kansas City Star
defended all the infamies of the Jones
administration. When the Street
Railway Company was grabbing fran
chises worth millions, it could rely
upon the faithful support of the Star;
and when the agents of the road were
dtCuSbu III IINlnS " DlADC Julolo, NN~
the chief officers of that company
were refusing to produce its books
before the Grand Jury on the ground
that their production would lncrlm-
mate them, the Star still neglected to
enter upon any crusade for honesty.
1t s~teadfastly adhered to these dis
credited Officers, and rendered to
them all possible assistance in the at
tempt to elect men to office who
would deal more gently with these in
terests than the Democratic admin
iStration.
Such, then, is the true character of
some of the press which is now de-
livering homilies upon civic righteous
ness, and seeking to dictate to the
Democratic party what it must do in
the premises.
But softly, my friends, we have yet
other advisers. The Republican party
is Just now engaged in looking after
our interests. Its solicitude is the
more remarkable in view of the fact
that the party managers are even at
the present, counseling as to the
strongest man they can put forward
to defeat the Democratic nominee.
The situation strongly suggests the
ancient story of the negro's coon
trap which was set to catch EN-
gWine and comm"
Here, again, we may inquire, why
are these Greeks bearing gifts?"
The people will not speedily accept
advice from that party which be
queathed to us the Drake Constitu
ton. That threw priests, ministers
and teachers into prison because they
had not taken the test oath; involved
the State in a fraudulent debt, the
burdens of which it bore for more
than thirty years; that issued bonds tt

reply, these were the acts of the
Republican party of Missouri in it
youth, but it's vices have only in

feuds over Federal patronage the dom

organization have been uniformly in

A POLITICAL SYNDICATE.

But strangest of all is that power
ful combination of men in St. Louis,
who conceal their identity while they
display their cash. Their names are
withheld from the public, but WI are
informed vaguely as to their geograph-
ical location, What their opinions up
on public questions may be is a mat
ter of such grave doubt that the
boldest refuse to hazard a guess.
We are told they are business men,
and it is possible they have an idea
that the ~governorship of Missouri can
be syndicated. Whether this associa-
ton is composed of Democrats, Re-
publicans, or Captains of Indus.
try no man a tell.
Do they consider trusts beneficial
institutions, or regard them as con
spiracies against the people?
How many of these gentlemen
voted the Democratic ticket in 1896
and 1900?
If they get control in Missouri, will
they turn the party W to the re
organizers?

Francis Marion Cockrell in the
United States Senate?
We know that these gentlemen have
some original political methods. They
have been instrumental in circulating
petitions asking that county conven
lions be called to select delegates tc
the State convention months before
the State committee has eve met te

date of the convention.
We desire to be courteous to these
unknown patriots, but we humbly in
quire why this unseemly haste? Is
there fear that the people may make
a mistake if they take time TO think
Or do these mythical gentlemen pro
pose to relieve us of that task? Dc
they believe that If the people take
time to consider they will decide
against virtue?
Perhaps these questions may seen
slightly pointed, but we have the RICH
to make some inquiries. We would
like to know who these new leaders
of our party are. We are all in thu
dark.

be used against every measure intro
duced for a sinister purpose and at
the same time it should be clearly
understood that improper interference
by any corporation or individual, with
the due course of legislation must
cease. In this connection, | favor the
enactment of a statute forfeiting the
franchises and rights of any corpora
ton which is guilty of bribery. go
further and advocate the enactment
of a statute, or if necessary, an
amendment to the constitution, for
feiting to the State the property OF

without the saying that the processes

used against every institution or IN

ANNOUNCES HIS CANDIDACY FOR
GOVERNOR.

The office of Chief Executive Of the
State of Missouri is an exalted posi-
ton, worthy of the highest ambition
of any citizen. 1t affords an oppor-
tunity for useful public service and
has been worthily filled under past
Democratic administrations by some
of the purest and ablest men, whose
names have given lustre to the State.
In what l now have to say I ad-
dress myself solely to those who be-
lieve in the principles Of Democracy,
and who are loyal to it's teachings. l
shall not seek the nomination to the
high office of Governor of this great
State at the hands of any political
organization except the Democratic
party. l expect no support for this
nomination save from those Demo-
Gratis who propose to preserve the
party faith and the party supremacy.

The charges against Harvey were

Jones of the Indian bureau decided
that Harvey should be removed. In
