"Trusts Caqtpt bt Eliminated".
That's What Roosevelt said In his
Providence, (It. I.) Kpech last Satur
day night, and h stains to favor a
MIUy of limiting the great in
nopoliCH. This is a great change from
his prevlous"atl Itude to one more
consistent with his aspiration.
Trusts make republican presidents,
and anyone whoissincerely opposed to
litem cannot in a republican nominee
for the highest position in the gift of
Ue American people. That's a set tied
fact.
The great anti-trust laws are amply
surlicicnt if properly enforced to curb
the monopolies which are destroying
commercial and Industrial oppor
tunities. Hut no effort has leii made
to enforce the laws, ami there never
will lie under the present admin
it ration nor any otheraumliiislration
elected hy the republican-trust com
bination.
David slew Coliah with a sling, hut
he was inspire I willi determination
and courage. It Is ridiculous that the
president ami attorney general, with
the power of the greatest government

control tlie evil corporations. A
hundredth part of the expense now
being used to conquer and control the
Fhilippines would crumble trusts in
the dust, hut it will not be used Tor
the trusts own the republican party,
sunnort and dictate to it. If there
were no trusts there would le no re
publican party.
If the people want trusts eliminated,
the first thing they w ill have to do is
to elimate the republican party, the
father of them all.
The way to do this is to vote the
democratic ticket, 'that party is
pledged against these great evils.
which are gradually fastening upon
them a centralized government, and
finally a monarchy of the worst
character.
.Say Secretary of the Treasury
Shaw: "I will not concede that a
tariff for revenue only will destroy
trusts on any other theory than that
afire In a wheat field will destroy
Canadian thistles." This Is Just
attout as near as any Republican will
ever come to a revision of the tariff.
That uartv will no more touch the
Dingley duties in a way to threaten
the monopolies of the trusts than It
will refuse to accept the millions
which the trusts contribute to Its
camoaiifii sluhh funds. In order to
fool the people there may be a sort of
promise to revise the tariff, but this
promise will lie hedged about with so
manv uualilications that it will bind
the Republican party to nothing.
Secretary Shaw's attitude is a fair
illustration of the attitude of his
party. If the Dingley tariff could be
revised to suit the people without in
juring the trusts, the Republican
party would favor revision. Under
existing conditions, however, it is tlie
champion of the tariff and tlie trusts
and the people maty go hang.
Tn k public sentiment in favor if a
revision of the tariff is no longer con
fined to democratic voters. It is
shared by many republicans and will
make itself felt in the congressional
elections next November. Hundreds
of republicans in Cass county will vote
with the democrats on the tariff ques
tion. The prospect now is that the
republican party will lose the house
on the tariff revision issue, and no one
knows it any letter than Mr. Babcock.
If he still possessed the courage of his
convictions on this issue he would con
tinue to warn his party, as he has done
in the past, that the American people
can no longer be fooled into the belief
that the tariff is beneficial to any
American interest save that of the
American monopolies created by the
tariff.

The News is strongly of the opinion

Hanks.
Hy all means let us have a meeting
between Hanks and Kurkett. What
rjght has any one to say that the im
maculate Elmer J. Burkett would re
fuse to meet any man on the hustings?
Is it not a fact, admitted and proved
by Mr. Burkett himself, that the act

Is it not a fact, admitted and proved

Then wny should Mr. Burkett be

Let Mr. Hanks challenge this mar

Is that Mr. Burkett wouldn't know

"Whenever Congress reaches the
conclusion," said Secretary Shaw in a
recent speech, "that the friends of
protection are strong enough to con
servativeiy modify certain schedules
so as to -meet changed conditions, and
at the same time successfully resist
the efforts of the opposition to revise
the entire tariff law, thus paralyzing
business for a session, I am in favor of
it." Now, that is the kind of revision
of the tariff the Republican party are
in favor of. Whenever the trusts are
ready and say the word, then, accord
ing to Shaw's idea, the tariff will be
revised. That hour will never come
Republican leaders are talking of
a war cry for the election of 1904,
which is to be "Roosevelt, Revision
and Reciprocity". They seem to have
foregotten what the thiee R's did for
them on a previous occasion.
The "very able" congressman from
the first district has gone east to
make speeches. Evidently the mana
gers down there must be hard up for
speakers when they send for men of
such small calibre as Burkett.
The Nebraska City Daily claims
that it is not in politics, yet in its is
sue of yesterday it shows its true col
ors by rushing to the defense of the
Republican candidate for Governor.
Fut up the Republican ticket.
A reliable Kansas newspaper says,
"there are two strong republican
towns in Kansas in which a negro is
not allowed to live one is Nortonville
and the other is Bailey ville, the home
of W. J. Bailey, the republican candi
date for governor."
Destroy the Trusts.
The Trans-Mississippi commercial
congress in session at St. Paul, Minni
sota, demand the destruction of the
trust evil. The following resolutions
were adapted by a vote of 190 to 20:
"Whereas. Ihe trust system has
been and is a menace to our republican
institutions, and.
"Whereas. If allowed to form
combinations in restraint of trade and
the elimination of competition the
wealth of the entire country will be
concentrated in the hands of a few,
and.
"W he res. The said combinations
are calculated to destroy the hope and
ambition of the young men of tlie
country. It being well understood
that the ambition ana hope or trie
vounir men of this nation have made
it great: therefore be it-
"Resolved, By this congress that
the president of the United States be
respectfully urged to use all the power
vested in his office to the end that the
if row ing power and influence of the
trusts may be destroyed: and. be it
further
"Resolved, That if in the wisdom
of the national congress the laws now
on the statute books are insufficient to
suppress the growing evil, other more
stringent and efficient laws be speedily
enacted."

Boomelt Gets His Foot In It.
Waaiiinuton, Aug. , 24 President
RooHevclt's Rpeech on trusts, In Prov
idence, It. I., yesterday, attracted at
tention here chiefly teeause it had
U'cn represented hat he would for
the present hold his views in check at
the request of the leadersof his party,
who are seeking to convince him of
the futility of trying to curb th
trusts.
His speech shows that he is going
ahead of his party in this matter at
far as it will permit him to lead It,
but more important than that is the
situation in which it leaves the re
publican congressional committee in
the pending campaign.
Representative Babcock, chairman
of this committee, is reported to le
at his wits end. His treasury is
empty and there is no -prospect of it
being tilled, Creat financial, trans
portation and other corporate Inter
ests that have thus far supplied the
money needed in republican cam
paigns have closed the lids of their
cash boxes with a snap in the faces of
the collectors of republican funds.
This is a very serious state of affairs.
If the republicans do not get money
with which to run their campaign,
they have to depend almost entirely
upon the efforts of President Roose
velt's administration to pull them
through.
Mr. Babcock Is already planning a
scare for the benefit of Wall street.
He is saying that the situation
throughout the country looks bad for
republicans and that hard work will
be necessary to save the house. ery
soon he will issue more statements,
in which the situation will ie pre
sented as growing worse. If this
does not have the desired effect of
brinizinir in the monev. probably, as a
last resort, he will practically concede
the election of a democratic house
unless the general apathy prevalent
in Wall street should disappear.
It is doubted here very much
whether Mr. Babcock will be able to
get the campaign funds he desires,
and this statement is made regardless
of any tactics which he may employ
WALL STREET INDIFFERENT AS TO
RESULT OF ELECTION.
Wall street, for the moment, is
against Mr. Babcock, is against the
president and against tlie republican
party. These statements are brought
here by nearly every republican rep
resentative who has gone over to
New York to find out what the trouble
is.
The chairman of the republican
congressional committee Is not re
garded with favor in Wall street
The hard-headed men in New York
who are managing the great corpora
tions cannot understand Mr. Bab
cock. They fail to see how the chair
man of the republican committee
can oe a larin reiormer in congress.
a high protectionist on the stump,
and at the same time inspire confi
dence. . '",
In the second place, it is understood
that Wall street and by that is
meant the great industrial and money
interests of the country everywhere
does not care whether a republican
or democratic house be elected this
fall.
These interests, if not actually op
posed to President Roosevelt, are far
from satisfied with his course in stir
ring up the trust question. They
would like him to lose the house th
fall, as a sort of object lesson so that
the republican defeat could be at
tributed to his Dolicv of striking at
the front and raise money for Mr.
llabcock's committee.
After the failure 'of the effort to
get Senator Hanna Interested in rais
ing a large campaign fund this year,
stories of mysterious origin legan to
ap(N'ar in various republican papers
that Mr. Hanna was to resign as chair
man of the republican natlonalcorn
tnittce. and would be succeeded by
(iovernor Wiuthrnp Murray Crane of
Massachusetts.
These stories are lelieved to have
been inspired for the purpose of co
ercing Senator Hanna into leaving his
pleasant home in Cleveland, neglect
ing a very I mior tan t political situa
tion in Ohio and putting his friends
all over the country on the frying pan
in order to rabe money in support of
policies to which they are opiioscd.
At last accounts Senator Hanna was
still in favor of having Chairman
Rahrock run the campaign iu all of
its details, lie, like Mr. Roosevelt, is
a hard man to coerce.
In West Virginia a federal judge
has imprisoned large numbers of
miners for maintaining supply camps
from which to support the starving
strikers in the coal fields. And yet in
the eyes of the same judge it is no
offense for the millionaire coal barons
to band themselves together to plunder
the consumers by high prices and
oppress the poor miners by starvation
wages. The wonder is that anarchists
are not more numerous in the mining
regions.
A very general hope that both
the Northern Security company, the
beef combination and other trusts,
and for agitating the question of con
trol of these' combinations by further
legislation in congress.
President Roosevelt's speech is re
garded here as a fit announcement by
the president to these interests that
he will not be coerced.
Another effort is about to be made
to Induce Senator Hanna, chairman
of the republican national commit
tee, to take charge of the financial
end of the campaign and raise
a big fund. Senator Hanna already
has twice declined. He has disap-
nroved manv things that have been
done.
As chairman of the national com
mittee, he was very much offended
with Mr. Babcock when the latter in
troduced his bill Dlacine steel on the
free list. He was not only offended,
but humiliated, when Messrs. Bab-

It Is stated that the republican
campaign book was ready to be sent
out, but upon examination by Roose
velt, they were many things contained
therein that he did not approve and a
revision was ordered and those copies
already sent out ordered returned.
As will be seen elsewhere is this
issue of the Journal, the democratic
county central committee is called ito

the time and place for the county con

Repvclican assertions to the effect
that the democratic party is now
without an issue on which to appeal
to American voters come from a panic-
stiicken desire to dodge the great
issue of trust regulation. Republican
promises to revise the tariff as part of
that regulation, will be nothing more
or less than a treacherous attempt to
remove this issue under false pretenses.

matter what pledges the republican
party may give to American voters,
the trusts will be obeyed by this party

American democracy goes before the
American people is the issue of tariff
revision.
If those county officers who propose
to have the term of office extended to

Russel Sage's Timely Warning.
New York. Aug., 21. -Russel Sage,
perhaps the greatest individual cap
italist iu the country, his wealth W-
ing estimated at $100,000,000, iu a
statement today takes direct issue
with J. Pierpont Morgan regarding
gigantic combinations and consolida
tion of great industries.
To Mr. (J. A. larkin, a fellow-pas
sengeron the oceanic, Mr. Morgan
said during his trip from Europe that
the era of combinations had just le
irun. and that he has other vaster
schemes which are to dwarf the bill
ion-dollar Steel Trust and the ship
ping combine.
It is this announcement by Mr.
Morgan that leads Russell Sage to
sound a note of warning. The veteran
financier declares that such giant
combinations are a menace; that they
will inevitably result in one of the
greatest linancial panics that this
country has ever experienced, and
that ultimately the American ten pie
will no longer tolerate them.
Combinations of all great indus
tries are a menace to tlie Govern
ment," declares Mr. Sage. "Such
combinations are not only a .menace,
but are the oppressors of the people.
FINANCIAL R17IN' SCC1I AS WAS NEVER
DREAMED OF.
'Should an era of combinations en
sue the American people win sureiy
re volt against them and, if they do,
there will be financial ruin such as
people have never dreamed of in the
history of the world.
"There are certain times when com
binations are useful and beneficial.
When several industries are begin
ning business, it is well for the indi
viduals to combine for mutual pro
tection until the business is gotten on
its feet. When the business is lirmly
established, the combination should
be disrupted and conducted along in
dividual lines. The embarrassment
of one individual would not mean the
wrecking of an industry.
"Jt is better to have such industries
divided among several individuals
than combined into one great corpo
ration, the embarrassment of which
would mean the ruin of all.
"Industries conducted along indi
vidual lines -have many safeguards,
Instead of but one source, each indi
vidual has several separate and dis
tinct from the others to apply to for
aid during any great trouble.
AMERICAN PEOPLE SURE TO REVOLT
AO A INST THEM.
"Jf a combination is continued after
the industry is well established, it be
comes a monopoly and a menace to its
own commercial life, as well as to the
Government.
"The American people will most
certainly revolt at no distant time
against the enormous combinations of
the various industries. If continued,
the combinations will some day result
in financial ruin, not only to those in
terested, but to the country.
"The success attending tlie comoi
nation of some industries has led to
the belief that the same success will
mark the organization of other great
combinations. This will not prove
true, and before many years every one
will realize it."
Mr. Parkin, who is president of the
Toronto University, was astounded
by the vastness of Mr. Morgan's plans
as revealed bv him on the trip. He
said:
"Mr. Morgan's word picture of the
ideal industrial development is so
vast that 1 confess I could not ade
quately comprehend it. Combination
is the keynot e of his idea. He de
clares that the idea of combination
will progress, growing wider and
greater all the time. The Steamship
Trust he used as an illustration, say
ing the present plan was only the be
ginning of an ultimately vast combi
nation of shipping interests. His
idea is so great that it completely en
thralled me, and I asked permission
to visit him at his office and hear him
more fully develop his idea for me

to rebuild, and there will be another
deficiency in that fund in addition to
the maintenance deficiency. Two
years of control by republicans at the
penitentiary has made it patent that
the alleged redeemers need redemption
much worse than did the state. Lin

Republican Governor on Arbitration.
The New York World is engaged hi
an effort to secure arbitration for the
differences letween the coal barons
and their employes. The World called
upon the several governors of the
states for an expression of opinion on
the World's undertaking. The He
publican governor of Nebraska re
plied as follows:
Lincoln, Neb., Aug. 20 The an
thracite coal strike can le ended and
much consequent suffering avoided If
the state will do Its duty in the mat
ter of affording protection from per
sonal Injury and violence to those who
are willing to work. AKHITKA

There are but two parties directly

not as a matter of equity, but for the
sole purpfiseof arresting the visitation
of much suffering and distress on the
great lody of consumers of that com
modity. Ezka II. Savaoic,
Governor of Nebraska.
Recently the republican governor
of Nebraska expressed very frankly
his position with respect to labor un
ions and now he tells us that "arbi
tration is simply a crutch on which
organized anarchy Is willing to lean
for support after It has found lawless
ness of no avail, and wLlle It may con
tain some merit, It Is Its subtle pr.g
eny and Is of kindred parentage."
Verily, verily, wisdom shall die with
the republican governor of Nebraska.
Will Stay at Home.
The managers of the old settler's
reunion at Nebraska City on labor day
send the Journal an invitation to be
present and enjoy the event. But, as
Plattsmouth w ill have a much bigger
time on that date than our neighbor
dare expect to have, we choose to re
main at home. The opening of the
pontoon bridge will be attended by
people from every corner of Cass
county, and hundreds from Mills
county, Iowa, will also be here on that
eventful day. The program arranged
for the celebration is all that could be
desired, and a person who would go
away from home on such an occasion
don't deserve the name of citizen.
Nebraska iCity ews: Burkett's
only claim for re-election is that he
secured an appropriation of $300,000
for Lincoln. " If the truth was known
the credit for that appropriation
would be given to Dave Mercer.
Thk logical tariff-revision party is
that party which has from the llrht
opposed the principle of prohibitive
protection and fought for the rights
of all the people as against the priv
ileges of a special class. This Is the
democratic party, which alone may
be trusted to deal with, the Dingley
tariff from the btandpolnt of the
American people rather, than of the
monopoly corporations which the
Dingley tariff has brought Into blng.
Secretary Shaw Is right In conceding
In effect that the tariff should be re
vised, but his contention that the
republican party should do the re
vising is absurd. That party cannot
be expected to do otherwise than
stand by the Instrument of its own
creation. The democratic party muft
revise the tariff.
The indications are that H. II.
Hanks, the fusion candidate for con
gress will cause the cold chills to skip
up and down the spinal column of E. J.
Burkett before the ides of November
rolls around. The gentleman who at
present endeavors to represent the
lirst district, is banking too much on
outside help to pull him through.
