(HEARSTS CHICAGO AMERICAN',)
: The Coal Trust and
(HEARSTS CHICAGO AMERICAN.) '
Seven hundred thousand human
on strike because the "owners" of
enough to live on.
Let us leave today's situation to
the days when nature was storing
of men.
The carboniferous era during which the coal beds were formed
..fclftid million of years. Durinc these long, thousands of cen
turies, the pollen dropped gently from the vast forests of fern trees,
softly piling layer upon layer of the future coal beds. Hideous raon
sters swam jn the water or flew through the air. The interesting five
toed salamander to whom Darwin attributes the fact that we have five
fingers plowed his way through tthe soft vegetation, a hideous crea
ture seeking his hideous prey.
The six million years of the coal forming age went by, and other
millions of years followed. By and by man came on the scene. He
screeched and fought and murdered and stole, gradually working his
way up toward real civilization, always thinking as he foolishly thinks
, now that civilization was with him.
"When certain Insects get ready to lay their eggs, they capture some
weaker creature, kill it or stun it with poison and lay It away with the
eggs, that the young may find food at hand when they come to life.
Nature, planning to put us here, stored away the coal for us, like a pru
dent insect mother. Now we have got far enough along in our onward
march to use coal, and we are using it.
Wbat a fine sight U using presents to men and angels and future
generations.
Thousands of years ago the coal was stored up by a far-seeing Prov
idence. . t
Today half a dozen human beings whose ancestors were fishes when
the coal was made, proudly say "That coal Is mine" and they torture
their fellows in, the exploitation of the coal which was made for all
human kind to use, and not for the selfish purposes of a few.
Suppose the five-toed salamander, with his wart-covered face, had
claimed tbe falling layers of fern pollen aa bis property. He might
have said tot himself, at least:
"I am here watching tbe coal forming process, snd I have lights."
Tet all nature would have laugbed at his foolish claim.
No one laughs at the claim of a coal "owning" monkey at this age
who says tnst tbe coal which waa torwl away millions of years before
be came oa sartb la bis.

AN ADDRESS
BISHOP TURNER SPEAKS TO HIS
PEOPLE.
TO THE AFRO AMERICAN
Denounces Republican Party as a
Wolf Parading Around in
Sheepe Clothing.
Chicago, 111. (Special.) BIfshop Tur
ner, head of the African Methodist
Episcopal church, has declared his un
alterable opposition to the re-election
William McKlnley to the presidency of
the United States, and announces his
unswerving support of William J. Bry
an for that position. He has given out
an address to the Afro-American voters
of the country and furnished copies
to the democratic national committee
for distribution. His address, In which
he shows the fallacy of the statement
that the republican party Is the friend
of the netrro, follows:
"I am declaring my preference for
William Jennings Bryan for president
because he represents the same broad
principles that Abraham Lincoln es
poused and I believe It will be f.ir the
benefit of my people to vote for him.
As Aula h m Lincoln t.-s a friend to
the colored race, so is William Jen
nings Bryan.
"All of this silly sentiment of adher
ing to the republican party because of
Lincoln s proclamation of emancipa
tlon is misapplied. The republican party
of Lincoln and the republican party
of iianna are distinctly things apart.
Lincoln Is dead, but his principles of
personal liberty still live, and verily
the mantle of Elijah never fitted the
shoulders of Ellsha as perfectly as Lin
coln's mantle fits the broad shoulders
of Bryan.
WAH FRIEND OF PEOPLE.
"Lincoln never harbored a trust. He
never believed in governing without
the consent of the governed. He never
believed In grinding down the rights
snd privileges of the common people.
He sever failed to accord honor where
honor was due. Now now can any one
reconcile the party ptlneiDtes of LJn
coin with the party principles of Hanna
and Roosevelt T
"la Its treatment of the colored man
the republican party has slwsys mas
aaeradsd as a wolf la sheep's clothing
mac the time that party claims to
have freed tbe slaves Its managers have
constantly lied to the colored men.
When Lincoln died, republican honesty
to tbe colored race was Interred wltb
bis bones, and an era of republican
moral degeneracy began. We are told
that we were emancipated for human
ity's sake. Tes, aad I believe Cubs,
Porto Rico ana toe romppwie isianos
were freed from tbs same Incentive.
Ob, humanity, what crimes are com
mitted la thy 6s me!
"The rsmiMicaas nave nea to as
about oar freedom aad our dttsensblp.
Oar freedom was a war necessity, aad
was dearly bought with colored arms
tOt.Mo strong, sod our arisen snip is s
replica of serfdom.
After the war too renuDuruns, saes-
tag to ratals themselves m power, w-
jaufrurated the Journeyman government
j system In the south, which Is not only
s biot upon our national escutcheon,
: : but the secret of all the American col
ored man's social troubles Mday. They
thrust the unsuspecting nefrro's hamlf
Into the fire to snatch out their chest
nuts. NO MORTGAGE ON VOTE.
Contrary to the emotional Idea tha
the republican party has an unlimited
mortgage on the suffrages of the col
ored man, I pay that the organization
should be everlastingly grateful to th
colored man. The republican party li
the child of that race. ThrouKh Lin
coin's honest championship of the en
slaved people that party was born.
Through the colored man's gratltudf
It was bred. The black man behind tht
eon turned the tide of the rebellion
thus Insuring the power of the party
The black man waa used as a political
tool In the south during the "carpet
bag' r?gim and temporarily sacrificed
his social safety. For thirty-three
years he has delivered his vote to the
republican party like a poor man gives
his pound of flesh to the shyl.ick.
"Now we have the spectacle of a tin
soldier, a flashlight hero, whose pen f
mightier than his sword, who 'coiij
celved' the Idea of a rough rider regi
ment because he had seen Buffalo Hill's
Wild Went vlrcu. He Is saved from
death In Cula by the colored soldiers
who ru&h to the rescue of his 'three
sheet' troopers. He returns to the state
and poses for emoluments and the cam
era and writes for the magazines of
bow be forced the black soldiers to keep
to the front at the plont of his pistol
rOOSEVELTS INSX'LTS.
"Blbtk men on the battlefl..ld have
always been brave. In every war our
nation has waged the colored man has
hed his blood willingly.
"In the war of the revolution Crispus
Att-jcks. a colored man, was the first j
to die on Boston common. During the
war ot !iz ieneral An'lrew Jikn
praised the valor of the .'men of color '
at the battle of New Orleans. Fifty
mousanu colored men made way for
uoeny ana died In the civil war. The
gallant Ninth cavalry rode 1'pO miles
through the blinding (.now, Christmas
eve, and rescued the beleaguered
Seventh from an Indian massacre. They
fought and dlpd In Cuba, and nursed
the fever-stricken soldiers at the risk
.of their lives. And they are now forced
to fight their own colored pVopte In the
Philippines. All this they have done for
their country's sake, and.lt Is left for
this vltascope character, this modern
Don Quliote, Roosevelt, to accuse my
people or oeine cowards. ,
CANNOT rORCE THEIR VOTES.
"If Governor Roosevelt 'forcad' tiu
colored soldier st the point of his platol
to save bis life st Ban Juan hill h.
cannot force tbe colored voter to save
nis pomicsi lire on election day. The
colored man will then hare a chance to
ssy, 'Vengeance is mine; I will re-
psy.
FROunnarr farmer for brtan
Columbua.Ind. (fpecla!. Tbe repub.
ttcan politicians were given a surprise
last sight by tbs announcement that
James Oodfrey, one of tbe richest far-
i la Bartholomew county, aad a
llfe-tong local republican leader, would
support Bryan In tbs coming campaign.
Mr. Oodfrey says that ss a farmer he
dads It Impossible to Indorse tbe Me.
Klnley admlnrntraUoa. Tbs trusts

Mr. Oodfrey believes that tbe
