BRYAN PRoPHESIES FULFILLED.
Tariff and TRUSTS Wrecked Small
industries OF Indiana Town.

A special dispatch to the New York
World from Indianapolis says:
Fifty-two speeches will be delivered
by Mr.. Bryan in Indiana in eight days,
from October IL to October 20. Alto
gether the Democratic State Commit
tee will get about sixty-five speeches
out of Bryan in Indiana in ten days,
IL his voice and strength hold out.
Bryan will be hurried over Indiana
on special train, which will be made
up at Terre Haute the morning of Oc-
tober ~.
Upton and Alexandria will be
among the places visited. Mr.. Bryan
passed ElwOod on the journey from one
place to the other when he made a
prophetic speech last campaign-that
tariff and trusts would wreck its fac
tories. He then said:
ERE another campaign your factor
les will be idle. your tall chimneys
send forth no smoke, and although Re-
publican Legislation might be claiming
all accomplishment Of improved manu-
featuring conditions. you will know.
and know to your own sorrow, the fal-
lacy Of such claims"
Since his visit the radiator works
have closed, the American Window
Glass Is wreck. the Plttsburg Plate
Glass Company is closed. the Roderfer
Brick Company Is In the hands Of q
receiver, the Elwood Furniture Com
pany has been sold at receivers sale,
the lawn mower company is moving
away and other factory wrecks
abound
Gilpin observer., 1904-10-27

After his terrific Indictment of cor
ruptOnists in his own administration
this IL what he has just said in his let
ter of acceptance:
1--WE base our appeal upon what we
have done and are doing, upon our rec
ord of administration and legislation
during the last seven years in which
we have had complete control of the
government. WE INTEND IN THE
FUTURE TO CARRY ON THE Gov
ERNMENT IN THE SAME WAY
THAT WE HAVE CARRIED IT ON
IN THE PAST"
How did the administration proceed
to cut all the awful, disgraceful, de-
grading corruption to which the Presi-
dent pointed the finger Of righteous
scOrn in the departments?
Just two or three offenders were in
dicted. Not a single criminal in the de-
partments has gone to any Jail. Not
one Of them has ever been punished.
Yet in these departments, according to
President Roosevelt himself. were men
guilty Of frauds, forgeries, perjuries
and shameless briberies."
He went after these rascals as he
did after the trusts. He quit as soon
as he began, as soon as the pursuit of
rascality had the appearance of sue
cess.
Was it any quality Of mercy which
caused Mr.. Roosevelt to suspend the
cause of justice, or was it because he
was candidate for President?

WHERE IS THE MAYFLoVER,
Pertinent Inquiry ~ to tho Localie
OF the President's Yacht

"a tu0 xECBl00ntD0 oCuJs
Emperor William likes Mr.. Roose-
welt sincerely for his imperial ways.
He likes him for his taking care of
his own pleasures. 1t tickles his I'm
perial Majesty that Theodore Roosevelt
has yacht, the Mayfower, most lux
uriously appointed, which is somewhere
enscOnced in Mediterranean waters.
The yacht is somewhere about the
the waters Of the earth. The Govern
ment is paying a sum for it-that is,
the people are paying the cost. So
remarkable has been the display of lux
ury about this American republics i'm
perial boat that it has attracted the
attention Of every enterprising news
paper man in the country, even includ-
ing the pictorial artists. Yet a photogra-
pher Of the Navy Department has been
ordered to destroy all the plates and
pictures representative of the interior
of the craft. What is the fear about
this boat? Is it not fact that the
Administration knows that this sort of
thing is inconsistent with q republican
form of government? And is it not
patent proposition that it is best to
conceal all that can be hidden about
this imperial boat? There is an ex-
pensive naval and military encourage
about this Government which is con-
stantly growing in extent and ex-
pense. 1t goes along with colonial ex-
pansion and all that sort of rotten
thing, which is contrary to q republican
form OF government.

TO KEEP STANDING PAT.
DoOseve1t to 60 ON ~ Before, Net.
vvlthstanding = had Record.

Do0seve1t to go ON as Before, Net.
withdrawing = Bad Record.
The President, in his letter of nc
ceptance. says: 1--WE intend in the fu.
ture to carry on the Government in
the same way that we have carried It
on in the past" That Is to say that
the Government will be carried on in
the future with that degree of reck-
lessness and extravaganza which is q
part OF the record Of his administra-
ton during the last three years.
The New York Evening Post be-
lieves that too much prominence can.
not be given by the Democratic and in.
dependent press and speakers to this
extremely bad record. "Take the sim
gle matter of naval expenditures" says
the Post. 'In 1884 the approprIa tions
were $15.0s0. .437. and In 1886 less than
$1O.000.000. BY 1890 the sum appro.
priated was 500 .458. 113: In 1893 It was
$32, ,574.082; and In 1901. $55,G23, ,422.
But this amount Is modest compared
with the expenditure since the pres
ent administration has really warmed
to its work. In 1902 the naval estab.
lishment called for $87. .SO3. 1913; In 1908
for $S2, ,61S,034: and the last approprla-
tlon was $9S.005, 40. These figures
speak for themselves. We have
plunged into this business up to oar
necks. and unless there Is a sharp
change, we shall be over our heads"

PROTECTION AND The FARMER.
AgricultuRe Receives Absolutely Ne
Benefit out Of she Tariff.

AgricultuRe Receives Absolutely Ne
Benefit out Of she Tariff.
Mr.. Roosevelt, in one Of his many
books. said that ''there was no doubt
about the fact that the high tariff
against which South Carolina so vigor-
ously protested was q discrimination
against the purely agricultural COM
munities."
SO certain is It that a protective tar.
III cannot help the producer Of staple
agricultural products, that not long
ago Mr.. Lubin, Republican, came to
Congress demanding that Congress
should protect the farmer as well as
the manufacturer.
When he was told that there existed
duties upon Indian corn, wheat, etc..
his reply substantially was that every
man knew 1t worked no protection, So
called, to the American farmer. He
said that the Government could help
the manufacturers of certain products
by levying import duties, making, of
course, the rest of the community pay
the price OF the help; but the only way
In which they could help the farmers
was by giving an export bounty, and
he demanded that bounty very serious
ly in hearing after hearing before the
Committee on Agriculture in the House
of Representatives.

CORRUPTION
CAMPAIGN FUND
Republican Rational Committee Holding
Up Corporations Risht and Left.

The Wall Street Summary, than
which there Is not fairer non-parti-
san financial journal in the country,
says, touching the Republican efforts
to raise corruption campaign fund:
ALREADY number of the largest cor.
porations in this country, popularity.
.-et in many cases misleadingly, spok-
en- OF as trusts and hence likely to
lie under the bah of the Sherman An
Thrust law, as interpreted by the Su-
preme Court of the United States in
the Northern Securities case. have
been approached, yes, actually impor-
tuned, by the managers of the Repub-
lican campaign or their authorized
emissaries to contribute to the treas
ury of the National Committee. In
some cases assurances have been Civ
en- in the White House, that now that
the issue raised by the Government
in the Northern Securities case has
been sustained by the Supreme Court.
certain aggregations of industrial en-
terprises would not be held as coming
within the purview of the decision
mentioned.
I'VE can state further that the ex-
ecutives of some of the corporations
that have been approached, as de-
scribed above. are not members of the
political party in behalf of which the
appeals have been made. yet they have
deemed it good business judgment to
give the matter their favorable consid-
Grafton.
1.-THE most fragrant case of this char
acter that has come to our knowledge
Is that of the executive of one of our
larger railroad systems, who has vir-
tually decided that 1t is for the best
interests Of his corporation that in
some way substantial contribution
should be made to the cause represent
ed by Chairman Cortelyou. because
the Chairman is slated for the position
of Postmaster General after March 4.
should his efforts to retain his party
in power be successful. This cOrpo-
ration, in common with all other trans
portati0n companies, has constant and
sometimes conflicting relations with
the Postoffice Department. a fact that
carries great weight with the execu-
tive referred to, as 1t doubtless will
with Others similarly situated when
they are appealed to for campaign con-
tributions.
"This paper is not a political organ
in any sense of the word. but, as its
readers know. stands for what is hon.
est and upright in the management of
our Governmental affairs. as well as
in the conduct of commercial and
financial transactions. 1t seems pro-
per, therefore. and entirely within the
province Of an Independent, non-parti-
san newspaper to refer to such facts
as they come to its knowledge from
time to time. as have been recited
above, leaving those who read them to
draw their own conclusions"

bates While Other Shippers Suffer.
As a strong argument against the
trusts, which are fostered under the
iniquitous Dingley Tariff bill, a paper
read by Mr.. A. B. Hepburn, President
Of the Chase National Bank Of New
York, before the American Bankers
Association, at the Waldorf, in New
York recently, may well be considered.
Mr.. Hepburn has some positive ideas,
and among them was this:
Recurring to the initial thought of
this paper-the desirability Of stable
business conditions and uniform cost
OF transportation, and reasonable uni
form rates for money, we, as bankers,
entirely apart from legislative or CO.
ercive measures, can exercise great in
fuence in bringing about such condi-
uons."
Uniform cost of transportation means
that one shipper must have the same
rate as another. Twenty years ago
the men who control the Standard OIL
Company and nearly everything else
In the country. saw the advantage of
a rebate. They gave the other fellow
an even chance in production. but they
cut his throat in getting a cheaper
freight rate than he could, and the
competitor went out of business.
There is a coal trust that controls
every pound of coal consumed in New
York and New England. Mr.. Baer is
at the head of this. Several years ago
the coal market of New York was
open. The coal trust was formed. The
members got an advantage in freight
rates from the railroads. 1t was small,
but 1t was enough. 1t put the competi-

competition. made a coal monopoly
and coal bills appreciated about fifty
per cent.
This is but an example which could
be stretched out ad infinitum. Every
criminal trust that lives gets its life
from special privilege, and the ma
jority of those special privileges are
given by virtue Of the Dingley Tariff
Act.
