WEIGHS SHOW
At MILFORD.
EVERYBODY MUCH PLEASED WITH
THE CIRCUS.
Pronounced Excellent by PatrOnizing
PubIic-NO FakirS on the Grounds.
Large crowds at Both Of the
Performances.

Hundreds of people came to Milford
on Tuesday to witness the two per-
formances Of Welsh Brothers Circus,
and the opinion of all is that it was the
best one ring exhibition ever seen in
Milford. There were no fakirs, and no
disturbance of any kind occurred to
mar the pleasure of those who saw the
performances.
Mr.. and Mrs. Miller, equestrians and
riders, are a feature that is worthy Of
praise from all who are fond of clever
acting and performing. The other
acts were all very cOmmendable. The
famous Orten Troupe in their bicycle
act was feature, and one Of the finest
ever seen here. The midget aerialists,
Master Clarence and Iva Orton, were
fine, and were much commented upon
bv those who witnessed the perform
ance. The DeMacos on the Roman
silver rings, gave a graceful and fin
ished exhibition. The OrtOn brothers
acrobats, attracted much attention
Madame COlette, the driver Of the cele
brated performing horses, was literally
applauded for her efforts as a driver
Last but not least ws the display O.
physical strength by Madame Yucca
the strong woman. Many clowns, al
well up in their business Offun-making
were much in evidence. The concer
performance was good, and the circus
as A whole. pleased everybody.

School May Not Open Monday.

A session of the Board of Education
was bad on Wednesday night last, that
its members might meet Professor
Lakue, the new principal. The mat
ter of the opening of the schools was
not fully decided upon, but it is highly
probable that the schools will not open
until the 10th instant, by which time
it is hoped the closet annexes will be
completed and the grounds properly
graded.

ty a part of the great trust
question. AS the trust question
is the greatest question to-day,
the tariff is necessarily most
important now ds it affects that
greatest question.
The first step in tariff reform
should be aimed at the power
of the trusts not concocted in
their favor as is this "reciproc.
ity bill" which takes from the
DO dy of the people what little
tar if protection they have and
deli vers them more tightly
bound into the bands of the
trust extortionlsts.
Democrats, considering the
overwhelming importance OF
the trust question, cannot in
dorse any bill to increase the
already great power of any one
of the nations criminal monop-
olies.
These views l submit to my
constituents of the Eleventh
New York District, who have
b onored me by selecting me as

Democracy using the word De-

trusts whose power, fed on IN
just protection, is already a
menace to the welfare of this

"NO PROTECTION FOR
OPPRESSIVE TRUSTS"


means further license for the
trusts to practice extortion. The
House of Representatives will
pass today upon the so-called
''reciprocity BILL"
This bill does not represent
reciprocity between OF b r
countries and the people of this
country.
II represents the intention of
the American Trusts, working
through the Republican Admin
istratlon, TO make deals with
foreign countries for the tinan-
cial benefit of the Trusts.
The miscalled reciprocity b II
is typicAlly partisan Republi-
Can measure, by which Imean
typical trust bill.
1t is distinctly a Republican
trust measure, not only because
it is tathered by Republicans,
but because, proceeding on par
tisan Republican lines, it ig-
nores the interests of the con.
sumer, the wage worker, the
farmer; sbeCause it is drawn in
the interests of the trusts, of
the privileged monopolistic
class andin the interest of those
who contribute to 'the Republi-
can campaign fund.
There is no reason why any
Democrat SHOULD put his in
dorsement on this Republican
trust measure.
=. The genuine Democracy OF
America believes in a reduction
Of the tariff. The Democratic
party, and Democratic polite
lans instructed by the millions
who controltand who are the
Democratic party, demand tar.
if reduction. All Democrats
are eager for just, actual and
immediate reduction of the
tariff.
But the tariff as it stands. the
great feature of American in
australia financial life. must
be treated intelligently like
every other great national
question,
The people demand tariff re
duction. They demand now, at
this session, a reduction of the
tariffs that protect the criminal
trusts, adding to their power,
strengthening their lawlessness.
The will of Democracy is not
a wild, nindetinite shout. 1t
knows exactly what it wants
and when it proposes tariff
changes it wants those changes
ma de in favor of the people and
ag ainst the. trusts that rob the
people.
The Republicans, guided by
the trusts, will not bring about
a blindEstampede of Democrats
or their0real representatives in
favor of aims called tariff re-
form, which really means ad-
ditional tariff ,trlst protection.
The policy of the people of
the United States is this:
No protection for oppressive
trusts. Tariff reduction on trust
products'whiCh the trusts sell
cheaper abroad than at home.
No further protection tor the

ting off the meagre protection
that has been given to the farm
ers, to the actual body of the
people. They will not be fooled
into endorsing sham reciproc-
ity, which adds to trust control
of the nation through the tariff,
and which takes from those who
pay the tariff what little ad-
vantage they now derive from
it.
This newspaper requests the
Democrats in Congress, and
more especially its great army
of readers, Democratic and Re
publican, to consider the social
ed reciprocity bill with which a
Republican Administration in
augurates it's work in a special
session.
What is the object of this
bill? It is TO increase the power and
profits of the American Sugar Trust first
of all. What will be Its results?
1t will leave the consumer alb
solutely at the mercy of Sugar

from the farmer the slight pro-
lection and encouragement
which the tariff now offers him

what does it do? 1t fathers a
reciprocity bill" framed by the
owners of the Sugar Trust.
The consumers of the United
States use manufactured sugar,
but this Republican trust bill
does not interfere with manu-
featured sugar. 1t simply takes
off the duty on raw sugar. 1t
takes the duty off the material
which the trust buys. 1t does
not interfere with the duty on
the material which the people
buy. To take the duty off that
which the people buy would
lessen the grip Of the trust,
and this reciprocity trust does
not intend to do that.

procity bill. You need go no
fart her 10 est the sincerity of
the pro-trust partizanship
which pretends 10 change the
t ariff in the interests of the
people.
The Trust is to keep in it's
p ocket the sum which it has
hitherto paid to the Govern
m ent as duty on raw sugar,
and. in virtue of its monopoly,
to continue to charge what
price it pleases for the manu-
featured sugar that the people
buy.
The tariff hypocrites talk of
t he interests of the farmer, the
interests of the wage Gamer
a nd of the protection that the
tariff gives them.
This reciprocity bill is drawn
in favor of the Sugar Trust.

sugar and drives to failure and
despair the American farmer
who is trying to employ Ameri-
can soil and American labor in
the raising of crude sugar at
home.
Will any Democrat pretend
that it is Democratic tariff re-
form to cut off the tax which is
paid by the trust, and to main.
tain that part of the tariff which
leaves the American consumer
at the mercy of trust prices, and
which makes it impossible for
the American farmer compete
as producer of raw material?
Mr. Havemeyer, the very able
manager and organizer of the
great Sugar Trust, said in a
burst of cynical frankness:
The tariff is the mother to
the trusts"
Must not Mr.. Havemeyer and
all other trust managers feel
that they have in the tariff and
the Republican Administration
an affectionate mother, when
that mother of the trusts takes
way from the farmers and the
consumers What Little Protec-
ton They Have and frees the
trust from the payment of its
small share of the Govern
ment's tariff revenue?
The Democrats should de-
mand more urgently than ever
that there be no supervision of
tariff reform by robber trusts.
They should denouce more Wig
orously than ever tariff protec-
ton for trust extortion. They
should certainly not lend DEM
ocratic Endorsement to a Repub-
lican scheme for additional
trust protection.
They should not be ,nisled
into supporting Big Us IaI If re-
form planned by the trusts.
They should not help the r.
publicans to fool the people.
If one fact stands out clearly
IN the life of this nation to-day,
it is that the trust issue is The
Great Issue and will be the
great political issue in the next
national campaign.
The trust issue, like all great
issues, is one that establishes
itself. No politician and no po-
litical party could make of the
trust issue the dominating ques-
ton in the minds of Americans.
The evil trusts have made them
selves the issue. have forced
themselves as the issue upon
the people.
Cert ain trusts have establish
ed for themselves criminal indi-
vlduali ties in every American
mind. These trusts, like the
Beef Tr ust, the Coal Trust, the
Sugar Trust, have gone into
every home in the United
States. They have forced the
trust issue not only upon the
man of the family, but upon the
housewife in every family.
The robber trusts, sdealing in
life necessaries, have made
themselves a menace to the
comfort and security of every
home.
In addition to that, the spec
ulative trust, with its helrtless
get-rICh quick schemes of pub
lie exploitation, has stolen the
