Van "Wert (O.) Times: If Mr. Han
na proposes to pension all tho slaves,
ho ought to include a lot in Ohio and
even in Van Wert county, and they
aro not colored, either.
Fremont (Neb.) Leader: If Abra
ham Lincoln should appear at a repub
lican club banquet on his birthday ho
would have to bo identified and
vouched for before being allowed to
sit at the table.
Fulton (111.) Journal: When con
gress adjourns, those northwestern
republicans who voted tho republican
ticket on the promise that tho tariff
would be "reformed by its friends"
will have been taught a useful lesson.
Stoubonville (O.) Gazette: It may
as well be understood first as last
that there can never bo democratic
harmony if the party is placed in tho
tender care of alleged leaders who
tried their best to destroy it at tho
polls.
Challis (Idaho) Messenger: Grover
Cleveland is grooming himself for pub
lic notice again. Grover has been dead
politically ever since he sold tho
democratic party to tho republicans,
and his periodical parade in grave
clothes is one of tho political joltes
of the season.
Plattsburg (Mo.) Leader: If Mr.
Cleveland should intimate that ho
would accept ho would at onco be
backed by some of the worst monop
olist forces in the country. As they
did before they would now do, name
ly: Contribute as much to his cam
paign fund as they did to the repub
licans. They know their friends and
stand by them.
Mt Vernon (Tex.) Herald: The
Washington Post declares that tho
"trust interest Is- a side partner to
the party in power." We think the
Post has the sentence transposed, it
appears to us that the party in power
is rf side partner to tho trusts the
trusts being the biggest part of tho
partnership, or rather "own a con
trolling interest"
Clinton (Ind.) Argus: If the people
want to know how much all the re
publican hostility to tho trusts
amounts to let them watch the stock
market Haven't heard of trust stock
going down, have you? The only way
to check tho power of trusts is destroy
their power to tax the great consum
ing public by taking the taxing pow
er out of their hands.
Crete (Neb.) Democrat: Tho rank
est piece of buncombe tho party has
ever tried to fool the people with, is
the Elkins and Littlefield anti-trust
legislation. It was laid by a trust
lawyer, incubated in the hot house
of a trust and is safely under the wing
of a rooster controlled by the greatest
of all trusts. Now watch the Roose
velt contingent parade their bantam
as a full-fledged game cock ready to
scrap with any octopus.
Hot Springs (S. D.) Times-Herald:
Tho Elkins anti-trust bill passed by
the senate recently is a sham and the
trusts know it The penalty pre
scribed for infraction is simply a fine
and the beneficiaries of class legisla
tion, monopolistic privileges, will
willingly pay a nominal fine now arid,
then to bo allowed the privilege of
robbing tho masses. Nothing will de
ter a criminal but imprisonment, and
the party in power knows it full well.
Hastings (Neb.) Democrat: There
are many sincere democrats who fear
that In 1904 they will have to choose
between a Hanna democrat and a
Rockefeller republican. In that case
there would be no choice. No Hanna
democrat will be nominated by the
democratic national convention in
1904. There is going to bo tho great
est fight you over saw, that year, and
It will bo on tho lino of tho Kansas
City platform against tho Rockefeller-Morgan-Hanna
republicans.
Coldwater (Mich.) Star:. A trust
is a trust, whether "rightly" or
wrongly conductedas a trust It Is
a private monopoly, Is never rightly
conducted from tho standpoint of tho
public, because it is a violation of tho
lawB of political economy, of tho com
mon law of this country and England,
and of tho civil and criminal laws of
this nation and of practically every
state in the union.
Sedalia (Mo.) Democrat: Tho peo
ple of the United States will not place
much confidence in any anti-trust bill
that originates with Senator Steve
Elkins. Those who know of tho sen
ator at all know of him as tho friend
and associato of tho men who have
organized and who now maintain tho
trusts. When Steve Elkins touches
tho trusts it Is but tho gentle stroke
of tho friendly hand.
Hastings (Neb.) Democrat: Tho
Fowler bill bank currency proposi
tion beats the old populist sub-treasury
scheme all to death as wild-cat finan
ciering. By the latter proposition it
was proposed to issue money upon
grain deposits, while by the Fowler
bill scheme tho bank will issue money
whenever it wants It, without addi
tional security, and loan it to tho peo
ple. As a wild-cat it is very republi
can. Auburn (Neb.) Granger: In the
eyes of individuals a big swaggering
bully armed and armored Is the most
disgusting thing on earth. In tho
eyes of nations, that nation that Is
parading her prowess is simply dis
gusting the masses and arousing a
spirit of vengeance with other people.
Most any fellow can kick up a row by
strutting about with a chip on his
shoulder and as it is with Individuals,
so is It with nations.
Elkhart (Ind.) Truth: Ever since
organized capital has unnecessarily ad
vanced tho cost of nearly everything
bought and sold there has been a
growing discontent among the masses.
That discontent has compelled labor
to organize to force capital to divide
its illy gotten spoils through in
creased wages, and it will eventually
bring about a political revolution and
open our markets to foreign competi
tion. The public Is getting very tired
of organized robbery made possible
by a prohibitive tariff.
Rockvllle (Ind.) Tribune: Wbn
the great corporations arrayed against
organized labor In the Pullman strike
of 1894 wanted the Sherman anti
trust law enforced against a combin
ation of laboring men, they got what
they wanted. Although contrary to
any intention of tho act, Eugene V.
Debs was imprisoned under it This
was the only prosecution over ef
fected, and yet there is law enough to
put evry trust magnate in the coun
try behind prison bars. Why is this
not done? Why, indeed? Because
tho trusts own the republican party.
