other than election times the fact that
money contributed to the republican
party by the trusts is not only dishon-
est money, but is given that the trusts
may, without hinderances, take much
larger sum from the people.

would take away all personal ambition,

mel do not hesitate to say that, in
my opinion, the greatest moral question
which now confronts us is:
"Shall the trusts and corporations be

HAS GREAT MISSION.

"The party has in the near future a
great mission. Before long the people
will realize that the fairfield trusts
and illegal combinations are absorbing
the wealth of the nation.
"Then they will wish to throw off
these leeches, but the republican party
will not aid them to do it, for it's lead

which the moneys of the trusts can be
put in political campaigns.
"When that time comes, and come it
will, the people will turn to the demo-

should be ready-ready with an orga-
nization of patriotic citizenship cover

willing to work for the love Of the

FORGET THE PAST.

\ FOhOEl lnE fASls
To accomplish much in this direction,
however, we must forget the difficulties
of the past. If anyone suspects his
neighbor of treachery let him not hint
of his suspicion. II he knows he has
deserted us, let him not tell it. Our
forces have been weakened by divisions.
We have quarrelcd at times over nom
essentials. If we would help the people,
if we would furnish an organization
through which they may be relieved Of
party that has grown SO corrupt that
it will gladly enter into partnership
with trusts to secure money fer cleo
! tion purposes, we must forget the differ
ences of the past and begin this day to
build up wherever it may be needed, a
broad, an effective organization. And
we must, by constantly teaching and
through the press and from the plat
form appraise the people of the way the
vicious tariff circle works.
