DEMOCRATS WITH THE TRUSTS.
The Showing Made When a Vote Was
Taken in the House.

The present laws which place whole
some restrictions on the trusts were put
on the statutes by the Republican party
and not by the Democratic party. Loud
ly as the Democrats have always talked
against the trusts, and seriously as they
have from time to time awakened appre-
hension in all business circles by their
threats that they would destroy all large
corporations whether good or bad, yet
never once have the Democrats accom-
plished or even aided in the accomplish
ment of any salutary effort to control
the trusts along lines of public safety.
The rulings of the Supreme Court hav-
ing shown that as the constitution now
stands, Congress can only regulate trusts
engaged in interstate commerce, the fol-
lowing amendment was introduced in
the House of Representatives and press
ed to a vote on June l, 1900:
Section 1. All powers conferred by this
article shall extend to the several States,
the territories, the District of Columbia,
and all territory under the sovereignty and
subject to the jurisdiction of the United
States.
Section q Congress shall have power
to define, regulate, control, prohibit, or dis
solve trusts, monopolics or combinations,
whether existing III the form of combina-
tion or otherwise. The several States may
continue to exercise such power in any man
ner not in conflict with the laws of the
United States.
Section 3. Congress shall have power to
enforce the provisions Of this article by
appropriate legislation.
The clause saving all rights of States
was inserted in the hope of inducing
State-rights Democrats tc support the
amendment. Nevertheless, the vote stood
148 Republicans for and $50 Democrats
against, and the measure failed of the
necessary two-thirds majority.
LOUDLY AS THE DEMOCRATS
TALKED, WHEN 1T CAME TO A
VOTE THEY WE'RE FOR THE
TRUSTS, NOT AGAINST THEM.

WAS DEMOCRACY INSANE f?
IF So, Bryan Was a Lunatic, According
to Mr.. Cleveland.

Democracy "has returned to sanity,
said Grover Cleveland recently, in an in
terview
This statement, made with all the sol
emn ponderosity of which Mr.. Cleveland
is capable, would imply that the Demo
cratic party has been insane and its lead
ers a set of lunatics. In previous inter-
views Mr.. Cleveland contented himself
with merely saying that Democracy had
strayed from the right path after
strange gods when it embraced Bryan
ism, but since the defeat of the Bryan
faction at st. Louis he has been secretly
rejoicing over the apparent downfall OF
his most bitter political enemy, and on
Oct 2, at Buzzard's Bay, he virtually
declared that Mr.. Bryan was a mailman.
How do the friends of Mr.. Bryan in
Indiana, Illinois, Nebraska and other
States relish having their leader called
lunatic? Insanity is lunacy, or mad
ness, and if the Democratic party ''has
returned to sanity" it must first have
been insane, and, by the same reasoning,
if the party was insane because Bryan
was its leader, Mr.. Bryan himself must
have been the chief lunatic.
Candidate Parker is generally admitted
to be a nonentity in his party-a tool Of
Hill, Sheehan and others--and what he
says counts for little, but it is different
when Mr.. Cleveland talks. He is the
oracle Of the Eastern Democracy, and
if he says Bryan is insane it is certain
he voices the sentiments of ''sane" Dem
ocracy.
How can the Bryanites indorse such
SANDER ON their leader by supporting
Parker? Mr.. Cleveland declined to vote
for Bryan on the ground that the Ne
braskan was insane, but he will vote for
Parker, because he leads the 'sane"
Democracy ticket.
An important point seems to have been
forgotten by Mr.. Cleveland. Parker vot-
ed twice for the Nebraska 'lunatic" and
was therefore one Of the host of madmen
who composed insane" Democracy. Does
Mr.. Cleveland improve his position by
now supporting one of the madmen who
voted for the leader of insane" Dem
ocracy?
Mr. Cleveland's thrust at Bryan was
uncalled for, and will, no doubt, be re-
scented at the polls, for the friends Of Mr..
Bryan do not think he should be put
in the straitjacket class.

Fastener does, and to assure the laborer
in shop and field that reformatory legis-
lation must at first be for the relief OF
the wealthy.

matters-knows that he could not specl-
fly as to his accusations, could not con-
vince as to his proposed reforms; could
not successfully defend the revolutions
which his party proposes to inaugurate
in public affairs
He is wise to recognize thus early In
the campaign that "silence is golden.

THEY ARE FOR ROOSEVELT
His Magnetism Proves Attractive to
Men of All Conditions.

Men of All Conditions.
There is a magnetism in open fearless
manhood which attracts the souls of men.
The workingmen of the country recog-
nize in President Roosevelt an active
worker, sincere, democratic, straight
out brother man. There is no dis
counting the unerring instinct by which
one sturdy man or class of men reaches
swift decision as to character. Perhaps
the rank and file of the workers of the
United States cannot give out long
speeches as to why they believe in Roose-
welt, but the fact is they know him. That
is enough.
Put Theodore Roosevelt in group Of
railway engineers and fremen, or ON a
rancho in Idaho; let him sit down to dim
ner with a dozen farmers at a country
tavern or ride in car with a mining
outfit, or college football team or a del
egation of stonemasons, and instantly
he would be sized up, estimated and ac-
knowledged by any and all of these repre-
sentativcs of American life as hearty,
genial companion, and as strong man
and as strong leader of men.
Evidences multiply, day by day, show
ing in what high esteem President Roose-
welt .lS ueiu ny lllS uiSu VIII arc NO1A ,
the work of the country; the work which
keeps life going, and makes ''the wheels
go round" And these intelligent, keen
workers, looking with clear eyes upon the
great fabric of society that they are
daily building, know how to pick lead
er for themselves and their country.
Nothing can make the virile young
manhood of America turn its eyes away
from Theodore Roosevelt. Nothing can
destroy the confidence in him of the
steady, hopeful toilers of middle age. And
to the old and experienced the vain APP
peals of ancient party prejudices are but
as ratings to the deaf. Young, middle
aged and old alike in the great world of
industry and traffic, have made up their
minds about the coming election; and
when it comes they are going to show
the faith that is in them.
The American workingmen have no
doubts about Theodore Roosevelt. They
know just what to expect of him when
he is President, and they mean to have
it by electing him.

Ex-Presidsnt c1eveland,s Failure.

Ex-Presldent Cleveland is an unlmag-
NATIVE man. and for this, and other good
reasons, his recent magazine article en-
titled "Why a Young Man Should Vote
the Democratic Ticket" is short, point
less and unconvincing.
1t takes a good deal of fervid fancy,
and knack for invention, to construct
an argument upon a theme like that. Mr..
Cleveland was evidently i'll at ease with
his subject. Probably few young men
will read the article, anyway, and no one
will be influenced by it.
The young men of America live in the
present, and hope for the future. They
do not care to be even holding post
mortems on dead issues, nor to spend
their days holding back the wheels of ac-
ton and progress.
The young men Of the United States
are alive. And they will vote the Repub-
lican ticket this fall

The Works of Democracy.

by their works shall We know them .
BY what single work are the American
people to know that the Democratic
party can be safely intrusted with pow
er? There is not single distinctive
policy of the party that, put to the test,
ever worked without creating damage.
The Democratic party has favored slav-
cry, free silver and free trade, but never
a single principle has it ever favored that
meant greater happiness and prosperity
for the American people. The Republi-
can party freed the slaves, it has stood
and still stands for sound money and
protection to American industries. 1t is
the party of construction, not the party
of destruction,

1t is announced, presumably by author

President will make no speeches, but re-
strict his oratorical explosiveness to the
compilation of forecasts as to what he
will do if elected. He will save him
self an inealcnlable amount of trouble by
this turtle-like reserve. Were he to take
the stump he would be compelled to make
specific the general charges he has writ
ten against the Republicans. He would
have to show to be true his utterances
that his opponents have assumed unlaw-
fnl authority: that the President, fired
with the lust of power" is usurping ma

Having ''monkeyed' with Roosevelt
ISM until they found the buzz saw, the
Democrats are now tempting the fool
killer by reviying the cry that "Protec-
ton is robbery" Eight years ago the
workingmen of this country decided that
protection is a blessing, and they have
not changed their minds.
