A Remarkable Confession.


The Pres dent has a few cabinet
officers who are trying to impartially
enforce the laws of the country
against the rich as we'll as the poor,
and has other cabinet officers, like
Secretary Root, who are the cabinet
agents of the nations greatest Grim
inals.
These agents Of tthe interests
and the Wall Street newspapers
have implored the President to call
a halt to all proceedings against the
criminal rich, and by: SO doing save
the business Of the country from a
disasterous shock.
What a confession such a request
carries with it?
Has the pursuit of criminal meth.
DDS been so successful and far reach
ing as to make their prosecution {
serious menace to the country's
business?
Must the nation permit monopol,
to destroy competition, in order t,
save Wall Street from another panic
Must Secretary Roots demand, TO
the removal Of Attorney Genera
Bonaparte from the cabinet b
granted, before "the interests vii
feel safe and satisfied?

Many stories are told of the eccentric
doihgs and sayings of an old clergyman
who lived in Maine some years ago.
At one time there had been fight
among some men, one of whom was
seriously hurt. A trial took place, and
the old minister, who had seen the af-
fray, was summoned as Il witness.
"what was Salson doing?"<was the
first question.
"Oh, he was slashing around"
"well, sir, just what do you mean by
that?'
'why, he was knocking about him
here and there"
Now, sir, kindly tell us plainly what
,Salson did to this man."
.'Why, he-he enticed him." said the
old minister slowly.
sEnticed him! How?"
HE enticed him with crowbar. He
used the crowbar to persuade the man
to entice him-and by n series OF
pokes and blows he succeeded in doing
it." said the minister mildly-Youth's

1896 Milepost in our Political History

While predatory wealth elected
its candidates in 1896, the struggle
of that year was the beginning of
the end of government by that pow
er in this country.
There was quite an exchange of
party membership in 1896. Many
thinking, humanity loving republic
cans, of the Abraham Lincoln school
Of politics, aligned themselves with
the reform forces lead by Mr.. Bry-
an, while many other men, who for
years had been calling themselves
democrats, found when the test
came that they were not democrats
at all, but Mark Hanna republicans.
The results of the campaign Of
1896 were by no means an enthrone.
ment of the money power in Amer.
lea. On the contrary the struggle o.
that year stands like rnilepost il
the political history of this country
marking the beginning ofthe strug
gle which will end in the enthrone
,nent of human rights.

encouraging words: Another en-
couraging feature of the situation is
the character Of the new men who

they men whose votes could be in
fluenced OF secured through their
masters conditional order depart

as class, thinkers. and scholars and
patriots. Men who place love of

prophetic?

In his lecture in this city last
Wednesday evening, Professor
Guthrie stated truth not generally
known when he said, that most Of
the big metropolitan newspapers
were owned or controlled by the
interests" In other words by pred
atory wealth. The columns of
these newspapers are always open
for attacks upon public men, who
will not do the bidding of "the in

They are also open for the publica

newspapers are publishing long
lists Of the gifts which John D

of these gifts, and are no more like

A Belated Confession.

For twenty.four years The World
has urged the authority of the
United States Government to pro-
tect the people from the rapacity OF
trusts, monopolies and great corpor-
atoms. The Sherman law, which
The World insistently advocated,
was tremendous triumph for pub
lie opinion, but it remained dead
until Mr.. Roosevelt quickened it
into life. Mr.. Cleveland regarded
it with indifference; Mr.. Olney, his
Attorney General, treated it with
open contempt Then came Mr..
Mckinley, with Mark Hanna brazen-
ly selling to corporations the priv
ilege Of violating the law in ex-
change Tor campaign contributions.
There is no more shameful chapter
in American history.--New York
World.
This remarkable confession APP
peared in double loaded type in the
New York World of last Wednes-
day.
When did The World censure
Mr.. Cleveland for regarding the
Sherman law with indifference?
When did The World condemn
Mr.. Cleveland's Attorney General
Olney for treating this law with con-
tempt?
When did The World protes,
against the most shameful chapte,
in American history, the brazer
sale Of looting privileges to the
trusts by Mark Hanna?
Did not the World do all in its
power to help Mark Hanna while
he was making this shameful
chapter in American history"
Did not the World use its grea
power as a great newspaper to de
feat every democratic candidate il
1896 who was pledged to an en-
forcement of the laws against pred
atory wealth?
But it is hopeful sign of tn
times to find the World admittin,
the truth, even at this late day.
Now if the World will properl
define the meaning of "safe an
sane" as used by it in praisin
candidates for public positions,
will show signs Of real reform. An
it might as well confess, for ever
intelligent school boy in Amerie
knows that one of these "safe an
sane" fellows, is a servant Of tt
trusts who can be safely relied upo
to sanely treat with contempt a
laws enacted for the benefit Of II
common people.

Coal Trusts.

A great deal is written about the
crimes of George r. Baer, of Penn
sylvania, in connection with the
coal mines and coal roads Of the
Keystone state; but if the whole
truth could be made public it is
quite probable that we have coal
trusts in Iowa and Illinois much the
same as they have in Pennsylvania.
The owners Of coal mines in this
part of the country seem to have no
fixed price for their product. They
charge all that the business will
stand, and the freight rate to the
place where the coal is shipped is
an important factor in the price
charged for the coal at the mine.
For instance, if the coal is to be
shipped to some distant place where
the freight rate would be 50 pc,
ton, or more, the price at the MINE
would be little if any more thar
half what would be charged to s
person who purchased coal for de
livery at some nearby place. The
fact that such a condition prevails
indicates an agreement on the par
of the mine owners which is no
beneficial to the general public
The coal fields of Iowa are Of it'll
use to the people of this section o
the state, because all the saving il
freight rates on Iowa coal, over II
! linois and Indiana Goals, is adde'
to the price at the mine by the low
mine owners. The whole trut
might expose widespread conspil
acy on the part of the mine-owner
of the Mississippi Valley.
