PARTY TRUSTS WILL REMAIN so

WILL REMAIN so
 ,.Epr monumental hypocrisy nothing in American politics approaches tae republican partys attitude of the past two.years. With Theodore Roosevelt fersa rams head, the party invited taelSoters to lay hold of the ponderous ba;ssring engine of ancient warfare that Ipromised to storm it's way tlnough the tariff walls and turrets a9asto lay waste the trust evils.
 Republican hopes centered upon thsibattering ram, for its Rooseveltian heaf was large with promise and fierce with threat. Many long months the, windy warriors extolled it's for missble ferocity and pointed to the ghoulish monsters over within the wSffs A day came in November when the republican voters laid hold of the ram-which proved to be chained down, riveted to the ground. With in, the ghoulish monopolies reared their heads above the walls and grin ned. defiance.
 Having tricked the voters once, the party leaders will endeavor to do it aggIn in 1904, and by the same meth ods, if present indications point true. Iu~f9O4 the tariff walls and the trust citadel will stand, even higher and more horrible than now: this much is certain. It is certain, too, that the voters will clamor to attack and de maid a warlike engine. Some sort of battering issue will have to be provid- ed by the republican politicians. They ca1not abate the clamor or lure the p6pulace away from the walls with the spurious flag of Prosperity" Roose- vet will again, perhaps, be selected fc% the rams head by the republican council of war.
 Trust and tariff issues will not down. The campaign of 1902 barely da5ned them. Irresistibly;- they grow dsstinct huge and predominant. They sFs the two great menaces to Ameri- can life and health. Chicanery and affice cannot hide the fact that mon ogely, fostered and fed by the Dingley taGiff. is settling down upon the naI titn, seeking its life blood In 1904 ts9 bald, hideous truth will have re csIved further accentuation and en- pkasis.
 tToday the republican leaders stand cbhvicted of gigantic fraud upon the nation. Beginning with the Presi- dSnts message, each move thus far serves but to convince the republi- can voter that he was victimized, is being vicitmized. He will narrowly scrutinize each new issue sought to beiraised by republican politicians.
 An exchange says that as yet the party has developed no policy for the campaign. Congress, upon whom de- wolves sole responsibility to provide something to go upon in 1904, has ests to glance at the future. Judged by it's doings up to the present, con- gress thinks only of providing hey dey for monopolies. From the stand point of shrewd politics, congress will make a dismal record.
 Dismal indeed is the whole prospect from that standpoint Of course, all the politicians loudly sing Prosper ity" in chorus. Roosevelt, the cabi- net, the bosses and congress. But, singing away, what are they going 10 do for the party? Roosevelt is stren- uously antagonizing the south and ir. ritating the conservative element in the north by his despotic negro pol, icy-either through malice or mis- guidance, while the cabinet officers are devoted to oratorical and literary pursuits The bosses are busily dodg ing public gaze and haven't time fer exercising ingenuity and inventive faculties; and congress lies supine be meath trust influence, disregarding party pledges, disregarding humanitar ian principles, disrogarding even -' publican interests at monopoly's be hest.
 Democrats may add confidence to their hope for an end of the Roose veltian era of monopolistic heyday and domi1ation. Democracy will pre- sent a solid and extended front to the Prosperity" singers and fakirs while a great mass nf renublican vot.
