TRUST wARBIrNe.

1t is really amusing to see and hear
some hypocritical sheets of the Demo-
cratic faith around here warbling about
the trusts and the Republican party.
They forget that the great trust makers
of the age are accused Of being Parker's
backing at this time. Bryan believes
Roosevelt is plutocrat. or at least he
says so, but he emplatically says Par
ker is just as much a plutocrat and is
controlled. by Wall street, Besides why
should these little sheets OF the Demo
cratic faith take Issue with the man
they have nominated in this state and
whom they profess TO love so much,
1t has only been week since he ex-
pressed himself in no uncertain terms
in favor of the trusts, or rather big COM
biuations of capital. His life-record al
50 speaks for itself. Certainly they
have. not at last started to repudiate
him.

find men who actually loss than three
months ago denounced Parker, Cleveland
and others who are now Mt the head At
what is termed the Democratic party
In that convention mucn was said in
praise OF JefTer-onian Democracy and
just as much was said about Parker and
Cleveland not having that sort Of
Democracy Pains were taken in their
resolutions 10 see that there was not a
word in them that would give sem
blance OF an endorsement OF Parker
The feeling was SO bitter against him
and those who backed him that there
would have been riot if it had been
known at that time that delegates from
this section OF the state to the Demo
cratic national convention would vote
for his nomination \ few weeks have
not charged that feeling nor win sew
eral months There are men in the
Democratic par;y who act from prin-
cipIe and belief and who are not

1t is altogether likely that clique
members who denounced Parker
before his nomination win before the

not principle some people hold dear. but
the desire to be in power is what gov
erns them. Such state OF affairs has
more than a bearing on national politics
as it win be greatly felt locally. 1t is
very much in evidence already That

DAVIS AND TARIFF.

The late William L. Wilson was the
embodiment of tariff for revenue only"
and he was a national leader in his
party, but Henry G. Davis did not like
his ideas and helped to defeat him for
congress in the second district. Com
sidering these things, it now looks like
Democracy wants to reward MIN for the
downfall OF its party, when William
l. Wilson earnestly tried to guide it
along the pathway, Democracy then
professed. 1t is also apparent TINT
the national Democracy has Mt last re-
pudiated its principles, which it pro-
fcssed to hold so dear under the leader
ship of Mr.. Wilson, principles and poll
cies whose failure to materialize into
law was blamed upon Grover Cleveland
and Arthur P. German, cousin of
Henry G. Davis. That reputation is
shown plainly by Davis declaration that
he has ever been protectionist and be-
lieves in large combinations of capital

DEMOCRACY AND TRUSTS.

One day We see little Democratic
sheets gloating over the news that Wall
street viii support Parker for president
and the next day we find them raving
against Roosevelt on the alleged ground
that he Is not q "trust buster" That is
TO say, they think the people ought to
vote for Parker because they hear he
has the backing of the trusts, and they
further think tine people ought not to
vote for Roosevelt because he is not be-
lieved to be backed by the trusts, and
still they undertake to say they are
against trusts. The fact is they do not
really know who they are, what they
are, where they are, or any thing about
It Is not necessary to enter into detail
to prove this. Suffice it is to say that
for the past eight years they have been
ardent believers in free silver. They
also believed in tariff for revnue only"
Now they repudiate free silver and sup
port Parker. Now they repudinte
tariff for revenue only by nominating
and supporting Henry G. Davis, They
have howled year after year against tne
trusts, but now they believe in them,
MS shown by the way they rejoice, when
they read any thing that tends to make
the impression that Wall street Is nc
tua1ly and actively bcnind Parker. They
have washed burrows in their checks
crying about the use of money in cleo
tions and yet they con not hold lit
tie convention in Harrison county these
days without part of the Democratic
party making the charge that the Demo
cratic clique purchased the nomination
of it's candidates rs slated long before
hand. They have apparently deserted
every principle they have had or pro-
fessed to have for years and are now
without an issue, except the niger
question, and it is noticed that they
have become silent ON that. In view of
all this that saneness and safety they
have boa ted so much about is the most
dangerous thing for this country we
know Of. They have shown by their
record and are showing by their pres
ent attitude that they are not to be
trusted and that there is M policy
which they win believe in long or to
stick to. Such being the case there is
every assurance that the people are
wiser than they and that the Democratic
party will not he able to fool them.
