A FRAUDULENT BOOM.

A FRAUDULENT BOOM.
Some very shewd. IL INSCRIPTIONS
newspaper work is being done by ALe,
press agents who are booming Pres
ident Roosevelt for the Republican
nomination. They are portrsyfng him
as heavy weight trust fighter whosisI
smashing the trusts right and left.
They tell the people that Wall Street
is dead against Roosevelt and is hatch
ing all kinds of schemes to prevent
his nomination. They are even invent
ing Ingenious stories about the post
Office frauds. scandals and corruptions
which they hope will not only divert
well deserved blame for the state of
affairs from the President WHO has
but will try and make political capital
out of it for him. They now say that
some of the principals rascals of the
many who were plundering the post
Office were conspiring to prevent the
Presidents nomination next year. In
these simple and absurd ways they ex-
pect to beguile the voting population
of the country and according to their
own assurances they are succeeding.
Let us see what kind of fights the
President has been making against the
criminal tn SITS OF lie 'OuLt-v and in
the interests Of the plain people
about which his touters are SO loudly
prating at the present time: The
Presidents reputation as trust smash
er rests largely upon two court de-
cisions made last year. The beef trust
was enjoined by the court and the Nor
thern Securities company was declared
illegal in the United States Circuit
Court. In neither case can any benefit
to the plain people" be detected, even
by the aid OF q most powerful miscrop
oscope Both of these trusts are con.
tinuing to fix prices and rates that the
people must pay, and it may be said
right here thct the decision under
the Sherman law. no benefit to the
people has resulted. The net results
is that the trusts have changed theiI
forms but not their substance Nc
court decision has lowered prices OF
rates, or taken the hands of the trusts
out Of the pockets of the people. MOI
is it probable that the court decisions
will never remedy the trusts while We
have tariffs and other special priv
leges which give the monopolies pow
er and encourage combinations and
trusts. We must somehow overcome
this monopoly privilege before we cal
hope to get ride of the evils of tn,
trusts. But the President has set hi
face against any change in the trus
fattening tariff. He even stops of hi
recent stumping tour to help strangl,
the poor little Iowa idea" which feeh
ly declared that tariffs that shelte
trusts should be cut off, If the peopl
call that strenuous trust-breaking the

The unionism of capital, by the orga
nization of merchants, shows conclu
sively that they are following slavishl
in the footsteps of labor. Their form Q
organization is the same, the accumt
lation of strike funds in time Of peac
is an exact reproduction of the labo
union idea and now the use of the syn
pathetic strike to coerce the worker
confirms the impression. Nearly a.

troversy.,
According to Mrs. Florence Kell.
