Facts About Trusts. “There is not a Trust in the entire United States.”’—Mark Hanna. The American Steel and Wire Company of New Jersey was formed January 13th, 1899. It includes all the wire, wire-rod and wire-nail mills of the country. Its capital is $90,000,000, at least $50,000,000, of which is water. It is practically a mo- nopoly. This Trust, it will be observed, manufactures fencing for farmers and nails —commodities in daily use. Its predeces- sor, which was an Illinois Trust, bore the same name. It wasformed in April, 1898. At that time nails were selling at $1.47 per keg. In December, 1899, the price had risen to $3.53. In the same period the price of barbed wire rose from $1.87 to $4.13 per hundred pounds. The duty is specific, and on these prices ranges from about 10 to 60 per cent. ad valorem. This increase of price was so great that consumption was checked. The price was forced down, several plants were closed and hundreds of workmen were thrown out of employment. But even before over- production and extortion produced this result John W. Gates testified before the Industrial Commission Nov. 14th, 1899, that five plants had been closed. The Trust raised wages very slightly in some of its departments, but its predecessor Trust bad so lowered them that they were less in 1899 than wages for the same work in the individual mills composing the com- bination had been in 1890. Not only were prices raised and pay re- duced, but foreign consumers obtained the goods of the Trust for less than was charg- ed the domestic consumer. Mr. Gates testified to this. As a matter of fact, the foreigner bought American nails for one- half the pricelpaid by one American me- chanic. In 1899 Canadians bought Amer- ican barbed wire for 55 cents a hundred pounds less than Americans paid, and plain wire for $11 a ton less. A director estimated the first year’s profits of the Trust at $12,000,000. This would have been more than 18 per cent. on its common stock. The results of the first six months indicated an actual profit of $15,000,000, more than 24 per cent. on its water. The Trust continues, but it is just now in a state of depression on account of its greed. Roosevelt As an Orator. Teddy Roosevelt's speeches are the wonder of the age. When he gets on “the stump” and out of reach of Han- na’s voice he cuts loose and makes the fur fly. At Minneapolis a few weeks ago he spoke an hour, and Hanna was occupied two weeks in apologizing to one element and explaining to another. He made another speech in Saratoga the other day equally as rank. In that he declared that “every vote not cast for McKinley is a vote for repudiation and disorder.” Hanna will be obliged to put him under discipline again. The New York Journal summarizes one of Mr. Roosevelt’s speeches as follows, and as they are all alike the summary will do for either of them: We can lick anybody. I can lick anybody. I can lick Chinamen and Spaniards and hears and wolves and Democrats. I am glad I am running. “Trippe, trappe, tropjes.” Hurrah for America. Hurrah for me. Hurrah for blood. Hurrah for fists. I can cinch ponies. I can brand cows. The time for thinking has gone by. This is the time for licking. I lick some one every ‘day. Hear my teeth snap. Every one fis sound. I could bite off a coyote’s head. I saved the nation. I licked Spain. ; MY cowboys. MY ancestry. MY-MY-MY-I-I-I-ME-ME-ME. Lord Roberts Now Commands the Brit- ish Army. LONDON, Sept. 30.—‘‘Little Bobs’’ has received a big birthday gift. The official announcement of his appointment as com- mander-in-chief of the British army was today. Lord Roberts succeeds Lord Wolseley, whose retirement has been predicted for some time past. It was supposed that the official announcement of the selection of the hero of Kandahar and conqueror of Cronje as commander of the Queen’s sol- diers would not be made until his return from South Africa. Today, however, was the anniversary of his birth, and the gov- ernment decided it would be a graceful thing to make public his promotion at Eprror’s AWFUL Pricat.—F. M.

The President invents a New Phrase, But His Letter Has No Other Mert. From the New York Journal. President McKinley's letter of ac- ceptance resembles a folding bed with a piano front. When you look at it figst you think it is a financial argu- ment, but when you let it down you find that it it an apology for imperial- ism. The Republican party has maintain- ed that the silver question is the su- preme issue of the campaign. The president has kept up that profession. Therefore, he begins his letter with a disquisition on finance. But he re- alizes that it would be ruinous to sit in a corner soliquizing about one topic while the people were thinking and talking about another, and, therefore, after gliding lightly among a number of other issues, he settles down upen the subject of imperialism, and dilates upon it to the extent of 10,000 words. Mr. McKinley is entitled to the credit of inventing a new phrase. He does not venture to say that the silver ques- tion is the chief issue before the peo- ple, but he remarks: “If another is- sue is paramount, this is immediate.” He does not show, however, why it is immediate. He does not show that a Democratic congress would pass a free coinage law or that a Democratic ad- ministration could disturb the present financial system. It is true that he furnishes one more contribution to the exposure of the hypocrisy of Republi- can financial legislation when he says that it was so framed as to be effective only “so long as those who adhere to this platform are kept in control of the government.” But his own secre- tary of the treasury, in his sincere mo- ments, could have told him that any apprehension of financial danger from Democratic success was purely fanci- ful. From the Pittsburg Post. President McKinley, in his letter of acceptance, insists there was no al- liance with Aguinaldo by any of the American army or naval officers, but he does not tell how Dewey brought Aguinaldo to the Philippine islands in an American war vessel, and armed him and his followers, and co-operated with them. Nor does he mention the claimed the Philippine republic and raised its flag, and McKinley never protested until the following Decem- ber. Senator Wellington, of Maryland, has shown that the treaty with Spain would have failed of ratification had not a promise to guarantee the ulti- mate independence of the Philippines been made, only to be broken as soon as the treaty was ratified. McKinley says the Flipinos began the conflict, but fails to quote Gen. Otis, showing how the fighting was begun by the Americans, and how he rejected Agui- naldo’s plea for a suspension of hos- tilities and insisted upon war to its end. He claims the largest portion of the Filipinos ‘are loyal to us,” but he neglects the fact that nowhere out of the sight of the American lines in the Philippines can an. American go in safety. The McKinley letter is un- doubtedly smart, but how this world is given to smart lying. From the Springfield (Mass.) Republican. ‘We can find in this letter of accept- ance no word indicating any change in the policy of Mr. McKinley's adminis- tration to hold the Philippines, and hold them forever, as a subject colony of the United States. The president makes free use of the words “liberty” and ‘“gelf government” as the end of his purposes respecting those islands, but their full and accepted meaning. It is “gelf government” under absolute American sovereignty which he plain- ly means. It is “liberty” within lines drawn by an absolute alien power which he clearly has in mind. And this is the “liberty” of the vassal and the slave—nothing more. From the Harrisburg Star-Independent. Every man is right in claiming full credit for what he has accomplished and no one will complain because the president is generous in praise of him- self. But a bountiful providence had which has prevailed during the last three years and other influences, not within the control of the administra- tion, worked auspicious results. In view of those facts the president’s pretense for all is foolish, if not false. From the Philadelphia Record. The prosperity of the country, the "! narrative. fact that in June, 1898, Aguinaldo pro- these words are plainly not used in | something to do with the prosperity | that the administration is responsible treasury surplus, the favorable balance of trade and all the favoring benefac- , tions of a kind and gracious providence "are in turn woven into the president's The bad trusts are repro- bated and the good trusts mentioned. The tariff is fitted with a halo of com- mendation, and even reciprocity is marshalled before the eyesight of the nation as a thing of loveliness. From the Baltimore Sun. This may be Mr. McKinley's idea of freedom, but it is a monstrous doctrine for the president of a free republic ta promulgate. Mr. McKinley has not strengthened his party’s position by his letter of acceptance. He cannot convince the American people by such arguments as he arrays in this letter that the dangers of imperialism as practiced by this administration are less serious that they appear to be. Schurz Answers Gage. The Ex-Cabinet Official Invokes the Deadly Parallel in an Effective Way. Carl Schurz has witten, under date of Sept. 10, a second open letter to Sec- retary of the Treasury Gage in rejoin- der to the latter's reply to Mr. Schurz’s first letter. In it Mr. Schurz remarks that the Gage letter “only shows to what lengths partisan zeal will go in the attempt to frighten the people into the belief that only Mr. McKinley's re- election can save them from general ruin.” To Mr. Gage's remark that the Re- publican congress and administration would “probably” find it difficult, owing to possible obstructive tactics of the minority, to use its power before the inauguration of Bryan to make it im- possible for him to put the finances on a silver basis, Mr. Schurz answers: “There will be no trouble about this if the Republican majority is willing to doit. * * * The Republican major- , ity in congress not only can, but, if only for its own moral salvation, will do this thing in case of necessity, and you, Mr. Secretary, then relieved of | your partisan campaign service, will, as ‘a good citizen, be one of the first to i urge it to be done, if you sincerely . think the currency law to be as defec- tive as in your recent threat of disas- ter you represent it to be.” Mr.! Schurz also quotes Mr. Gage’s declaration in an interview on July 15 as an answer to the apprehension ex- pressed by him six week’s later.- “I be- lieve,” said Mr. Gage on July 15, “that silver will never drop below par in gold. The crux of the proposition is that adequate measures have been taken by the new law to prevent such a contingency. * * * In the event of Mr. Bryan's election I think the gold standard would be resolutely main- tained so long as the law remained on the statute book.” Mr. Schurz declares that the secre- | tary of the treasury’s letter of Aug. 25 “is an attempt to terrorize the Amer- ican people with a threat of business disaster, that they may be deterred from considering any other question and from casting a vote which would amount to a condemnation of Mr. Mc- Kinley’s imperialistic ‘policy. I, for one, refuse to be terrorized. ** * I am convinced that the battle for sound money is substantially won, and that whatever apparent danger to the gold standard may still arise it must and can be overcome without the people subjecting themselves to a moral thral- dom keeping them from independent and conscientious action upon public questions of equal ana even superior fmportance.” ha A United Democracy. More than ever before in the history of the Democratic party all factions have been merged under the peerless leadership of William Jennings Bryan _ for a vigorous and righteous campaign against the un-American and vicious ' policies of imperialism, militarism, pro- tection of the trusts and the other ery- ing evils which the Republican party is pledged to maintain and extend. Four years ago the party was divided upon the issue of a financial policy, and today the Democracy is once more firmly united and is standing shoulder ‘to shoulder in the support of an issue of higher and more immediate import- ance, because it involves the very foun- dation principles upon which this coun- ‘try is established. : Everywhere throughout the country come assurances that many prominent fundamental policies of government men who left their party ranks in 1896 | will this year march under “Bryan's | banner for the maintenance of those | which have fostered our growth into a nation, which can rightfully boast of her prominent position among the peoples of the world. The Republican party has criminally committed itself to the policy of land grabbing, which has ever been foreign to the principles of a republic such as this, and it has become the duty of the Democratic party to protect the nation against the foes within, ever the most insidious and powerful. The Republican party cannot with any degree of truth assert that only a portion of the Democratic party is holding up the hands of its standard bearer in this campaign. It is not one section of the country alone or one section of the country more than an- other that is represented in the Demo- cratic party for this campaign. In every state of the Union, including even the recognized Republican states, there is a marked and ever increasing abhorrence of the evils which go to make up McKinleyism, which will draw thousands of Republican votes to the party which pledges itself to halt the government of the United States and drag it back from the perilous course on which the present administration has launched it. In view of the expose which even the Republican newspapers have made of the starvation wages paid the coal miners of this state the campaign cry of “full dinner pail” seems something worse than a hollow mockery and a sham, With all their sneering at the phrase, “the consent of the governed,” the Republican party managers will find that it is as firmly embedded in the issues of this campaign as it is tn the constitution of the United States.
