Political Contributions.

A Lincoln (Neh. dispatch to
the New York World follows:
"Mr. Bryan seemed TO be not
much impressed by Seer q ar v
Taft's statement that no campaign
contributions from corporations
wonld he accepted by the Repub-
licau party. He smiled when it
was read to him. Finally he said !:
'You eau say this: We welcome
Mr.. Taft to this advanced ground
and bid him take another step
forward and announce that all
individual contributors above a
reasonable minimum Will be made
known before the election The
view taken here is that the Dem
ocratic pledge to publish cam
paign contributions before cleo
ton has hurt the Republicans,
and that to counterfeit its effect
Mr.. Taft has been obliged to throw
a sop to public sentiment. 1t is
believed that George r. Sbeldon's
appointment as Republican ma.
tiOnal treasurer indicates an in
tention to milk the corporations
and that they will contribute
through individual members"

BRYAN on the Trusts.

That clause of the Democratic
platform dealing with the evils
of private monopoly aud the
methods which may be adopted
for remedying such evils was
very fully discussed and defended
in he speech delivered by Mr..
Bryan at Indianapolis, recently.
1t involves not so much a Ques-
ton of principle as one ofproced-
ure.
The failure of the Federal Gov
eminent for Is years to enforce
the Federal laws already on the
statute book providing tines and
Imprisonment for conspiracies in
restraint of trade. and the ex.
istence for the past 40 years of
unrepealed statutes putting
premium upon the formation of
monopolies in restraint of trade,
taken together. seem to suffic-
iently indicate the proper first
steps toward repression and re
form.
The Democratic party proposes
a rigid enforcement of the anti
Trust Laws and such changes in
the tariff schedules as will do
away with the favoritism which
constitutes the foundation upon
which the trusts are built. These
correctives failing. the platform
of the party points the way to
further expedients of reform.
The Republican party occupies
the equivocal position of first au
thorizing system of protective
tariff legislation which is intend
ed to build up monopolies and
afterward enacting st a u g S
(which it does not enforcs) for
the prevention of monopoly.
There may be dispute as TO the
propriety or the efficiency of the
means proposed in the Demo
cratic platform for the extirpa-
ton of the trusts, should these
monopolies prove able to main
tain themselves in spite of due
enforcement of fines and imprls
onment and IN spite of knock
ing away of the props on which
they stand. Such dispute, how
ever, is of no immedi to conse
quence. Until we get Congress
that will reform the tariff and al
Executive who will enforce exist
ent laws for the repression of mo
nopolies, there is no hope for the
passage OF further remedial legis
lstion. The trusts have control
of the Republican party and the
Republican party has control Of
the government. Until the people
turn the Republican party out Of
power the rule of monopoly will
continue. The cry of "Democ
racy against Plutocracy," ii

issues.

In ordinary affairs there is NO

In ordinary affairs there is no
difference between a tariff re-
former and a protectionist. They
meet together in society, in bust
ness, in the lodge room and in the
church In their daily life they
apply the same rules and are
guided by the same business
rules. This similarity manifests
itself all through life and up to the
very hour of death. If a protec-
ZIONIST makes a will, he makes
it upon the same plan that the
tariff reformer follows. He does
not give all of his property to one
child and say that he trusts the
child to deal fairly with the rest
of the family. Why? Because
he knows his children and would
not put a child in position
where self1shness might lead him
to do an injustice to the other
members of the family. And he
is wise in not placing this temp
tation before one Of his own fam
lily. But when a protectionist
comes to make a tariff law, he
acts upon an entirely different
plan; he votes millions, yes hun
dreds of millions of dollars to
manufacturers whom he has
never seen, and trusts them to be
just in the distribution Of the
trust fund among their employees.
And what has been the result2
Just what might have been ex-
pected-the manufacturers have
appropriated the trust fund to
their own use and have paid their
employees only such wages as
trade conditions compelled Bry-
ans Tariff Speech at Des Moines.
