    . DEMOCRATIC RECORD OR
THE TRUST QUESTION.
Every Line of Legislation Now on Our Statute Books
l Was Placed There by the Republicans, and
the Democrats Voted Against a Consti
tutional Amendment to Regulate
Them Only Four Months Ago.
Uow the Democratic National Chairman Tried to
Help the Sugar Trust—Facts from the
* Congressional Record.
Every line of legislation now on the stHtute books of the I'uited States directed
Against trusts and unlawful trade combinations wus placed there by the Repub
licans.
That there is not more stringent law against them is the fault of the Demo
cratic party.
The last occasion on which the pnrties. as represented in Congress, went on
record on the trust question was on June 1, 11WW.
— On that day n tinnl vote was taken on a constitutional amendment to grant
/ Congress power to “define, regulate, prohibit and dissolve trusts, monopolies and
combinations, whether existing in the form of corporations or otherwise.”
It requires a two-thirds vote of Congress to submit a constitutional amend
ment to the State Legislatures for ratification.
'Pile question to so submit it was lost by a vote of lot yeas to 132 nays.
OF THE YEAS 141) WERE RE1M HLICANS AND ONLY o WERE DEM
Of RATS. The five were Campbell of Montana. Naphen and Taylor of Massa
chusetts. Seudder of New York and Sibley of Pennsylvania.
OF THE 13” NAYS, ONLY TWO WERE REIT ELM ANS, Lour ami Mc
Call.
Richardson, Lents. Suiter, Rtippert, Salmon and all the other profeaalonal
“trust killers” voted NAY. They declined to give Congress the power to grap
pie with the Trusts. The Democrats indulged in spasms of virtue for two days,
denouncing the trusts, and then voted to continue them.
In one of Mr. ltryan’s recent speeches he gave the Republican remedy as the
final one he would adopt, in case he w as elected nmi nil other means failed.
In other words, Mr. Bryan ndmits the value of the Republican idea, but
wants to try other measures first. He has uot said what those measures are
to be.
Some trusts operate all over the country; others, like the New York lee
Trust, operate in a single city. The requisite power to reach each Hint all and
bring them within the Federal law, WAS DENTED B\ A MAROIN Ol1 .(H
VOTES, ALL DEMOCRATIC.
Denouncing is one thing. Doing is another. Mr, Bryan's trust denunciations.
In view of his party's record, promise no better than the prophecies lie made four
years ago; and as a prophet Mr. Bryan has not succeeded.
Il Senator Jones and the Sugar Trust.
The Democrats made another brilliant pro-trust ... during 1ho same
aession of Congress Itepreaentative Richardson or Tennessee, Democrat, tried to
assist the Sugar Trust by offering u joint resolution to admit Cuban und Porto
IUcan sugar free of duty.
The remission of that duty would hnve amounted to at tout $-o,000,<H)0 a year,
and the Sugar Trust would have benefited to the amount of at least $l.iJMMi,000
per year. The controller of the Sugar Trust is Mr llehry <>. Havetneyer, Demo
crat. Mr. Richardson's proposed gift to his friend Mr. Iluvernteyer wits smoth
ered in the Way* and Means Committee of the House. This was done by the
Republican member* of the committee.
It was also proposed by Senator Jones, Democratic national chairman and
. Mr. Bryan's manager, to return the duties paid on Porto Rican sugar and mo
T lasses, not to the Porto Ricans, but to the persons who paid these duties.
This amounted at the time to $1.4N7,Ht;ti. Had the scheme succeeded. Hie
American Sugar Refining Company and A S. I.asalles \- * °^_a I’j11'1 of
game concern, would have benefited by a direct gift of $1 ,‘J.itt.i (4. I his is the
first instnnee on record where a direct gift was intended to he made to a trust,
and the Democratic manager. Senator James K. Jones, wished to make it. '1 his
was also prevented by the Republican*.
The money wots not to be* returned to the Porto Hicnus, as the duties puid
now are, but to the Sugar Trust.
All the fucts are primed in the Congressional Record and are a part of Amer
ican history.
• DEAR BOY’ LETTERS, NO. 9.
My Dear Boy:
You uny thut you are tins! of working
for old man Skinner, and are thinking of
going Went this fall, where wages are
higher. You ask what I think about It.
Well, I have no objection to your going
West, but I’ don’t want you to go till after
the election. This is the tirst time in
your life that you ever had an opportu
nity to exercise your right as an Amer
ican citizen in voting for a President of
the United States. I don't want you to
lose your vote for the following reasons:
1. The only possible chance of the elec
tion of llryuu comes from the over-conii
donce of Republicans, it makes me sad
to hear a man say. “Oh. McICinley is
going to he elected, anyhow. There is no
danger. 1 have arrangements made to lo
in California in November, but you wou’t
need my vote."
Especially do I regret to hear talk of
this kind among some of the railroad

up unanimously to the support of Me
Kiuley ami the Republican party, that
class is composed of the railroad men of
this country. Four years ago there were

WHAT SAY YOU?
PERKINS.
CALIFORNIA SENATOR
ON OUR EXPANSION.
Astounding Growth of the Trans*
Pacific Trade.
Reasons Why the Pacific Coast Will
Cast Its Electoral Votes for
McKinley and Roosevelt.
(By Ucorge C. Perkins, United State*
Senator from California.)
No portion of the country is more Uii
inediatcly concerned in sustaining the ex
pansion policy of President McKinley
than the States of the Pacific coast.
While the South produces the cotton
which is being shipped in such enormous
quantities to the orient, while other sec
tions are sending manufactures of every
description, the coast is sending across
the Pacific Its own flour, fruits and man
ufactures. Beside* this, we are handling
the shifts in which the exporting is done.
Our own manufactures have ranged front
mining and other machinery to a com
pleted five thousand ton steel man-of
war for the Japanese government, livery
line of industry lias benefited and we ex
pect b.v the establishment of closer com
mercial relations to increase both our
population and prosperity.
The Pacific coast has long been on the
edge of the country. To-day it is the
center of the American transpacific trade.
We have reached out beyond for busi
ness. We can control the trade of the
Pacific. That is why we are all expan
sionists.
Tilt* growth of the transpacific trade
is a matter of very rerent years. Not
more than ten years ago the Canadian
Pacific Company established its first line
of transpacific steamships. Prior to thut
there were six steamers plying from San
Francisco in the Japan and China line.
They brought from the orient tea, mat
ting. silk, rice and the endless line of
articles that are imported from Japan
and China. They carried back silver in
the form of Mexican dollars and bullion,
some provisions, and flour which was tak
en along for ballast as well as to till up
the cargoes. The establishment of the
Canadian line—primarily for military
purposes and secondarily for traffic,
threw u gisid many San Frnuciscans in
to mourning. To them, they thought, the
end hod come. Sun Francisco was to
lose its Asiatic business. Then followed
in rapid, succession the establishment of
new lines from Portland, the Puget
sound ports and Sail Iliego.
Our merchants awoke. Instead of six
steamers plying from San Francisco the
number lias Ih-cii added to. The demand
now is for larger boats ami better bout*,
and tin* trade from the Pacific *io[>e is
tunny times what it once was.
The incoming cargoes are much wliut
they formerly were, but the exports in
elude every conceivable article of Auicti
cuh produce mid manufacture cotton
goods, electrical good*, bicycles, cotton
literally by the trmnload. alcohol by the
traiuloud fur use in the manufacture of
smokeless powder in Japati. agricultural
Implements, canned fruit*, canned *ege
tables, canned meats, almost everything
that the mind can conceive. And the de
mund mi the steamship companies is at
ways for room and then for more room.
What is true of the Asiatic trade is
eitnally true of the Australian, The
Oceanic Steamship t V>!n|mity Is about to

BLUM.
GERMAN-AMERICAN
FOR GOLD STANDARD.
Is the Paramount Issue of the
Present Campaign.
Bryan's Bogies, Imperialism and Mili
tarism Cut No Figure with the
German-Born Voters.
(An Interview with August Blum.)
Mr. August Blum, cashier of the First
National Bank of Chicago, intends to
vote fur the re election of President Mc
Kinley.
Mr. Blum is one of the best representa
tives in Chicago of the type of Germans
who have gained, in this country, the re
-peel of fellow American citizens, for in
tegrity, industry and ability. He was
cashier of the Union National Bank; but
after the recent absorption of that insti
tution by the First National, he was
made cashier of the First National. He
is generally recognized throughout the
West as a leading banking authority, one
whose judgment in connection with the
various complex questions that come be
fore every banker is almost infallibly cor
rect.
In politics he is a liemoerat, and was
always a prominent supporter of Grover
Cleveland.
The following are questions put to Mr.
Blum, and the replies he gave:
y Would the election of Bryan benefit
the business interests of Chicago, of the
whole United States, and tin* German
American citizens particularly?
A. The election of Mr. Bryan would,
in my opinion, bo a great misfortune to
this country, und therefore to Chicago,
and therefore to German-Americans and
to every other kind of Americans. Amer
ican citizens of German birth are not a
eluss by themselves.
(j What, in your opinion, is the para
mount issue of this campaign?
A. The paramount issue is that which
is In the people’s minds, not in the party
platform nor in the speeches of leaders
necessarily. There is one thing in which
we are all vitally concerned, and that is
the inviolability of the country’s standard
of value. For a quarter of a century we
have battled for it. At the last moment
to surrender to the enemy would lie tlie
height of folly. I know of no other is
sue (-omparalde to lliis one in importance.
Talk of imperialism is disingenuous.
Much as we may differ about the desira
bility of the Philippines ns a colony, we
occupy them now and largely through the
help of Mr. Bryan. The thing is done.
tj Wlint do you think of Bryan's
statement about the recent ficrtnaii loan?
A It is very difficult to follow the tor
tuous road of Mr. Bryan’s utteran vs.
Four years ago 1 tried persistently to uti
derataiid his utterances nlsiiit the stand
ard of value, hut I gave it up at last in
despair. To construe our ability to ab

could not loan money to foreign govern
ment* if We were not ill u prosperous con
dition When Mr. Bryan undertake* to
prow the contrary it may give Sit i p|. is
ure. toil it w it not convince any one.
rj l*o you think that thi* country has
prospered during the last four year* as a

SHOUP.
MOUNTAIN STATES
TURN TO M’KINLEY.
Prosperity the Cause 01 the
Welcome Change.
No One I ear* •'Imperialism," While All
Are Proud of the Record* Made
by the Army and Navy.
(I$y (Jeorge I,. Hhoup, I'liltcil Stntes Sen
ator from Idaho.)
There are many rensons which impel
the voters of the mountain Slates to sup
port tlie nominees and the policy of the
itcpublicuu Party this fall. One word
more than any other explains the position
of our people in this support and that
word is confidence.
The record of the Hopublieun party is
a record of fulfilled promises.
The first uet of the party after its re
turn to power was the enactment of the
lHnglcy tariff law, which again placed us
on a protection basis.
Take for example the benefits which
have accrued to my own State, Idaho,
Among our principal industries are min
ing, cuttle ami sheep growing and farm
ing.
The great lead mines of the Stale are
working every man possible at wages of
$,‘{.50 per day of eight hours. I Miring
tin* three years of President McKinley's
administration the value of the lend pro
duced in the State was $14,114,005, while
during the lust three years of President
Cleveland’s administration the total value
was only $7,800,151.
Our sheep have advanced in price from
$1.15 to $2.50 per head, a gain to the
lieople of the State of over three million
dollars in the vulue of the sheep alone.
In the year 1800 the wool clip of Idaho
was valued at $442,085. while for the
year 1900 it is estimated thnt it will bring
to the wool growers of the State $2,
320,000.
A very conservative estimate of the
number of cattle in the State is 500.000.
They have increased in value on an aver
age of $15 per head, making the cattle
men at least seven and one-half million
dollars richer than they were three years
ago. The Increase in the price of horses
of $10 per head has also added between
one nnd two million dollars to the. wealth
of the State.
The voters of this Stnte ami of the
other mountain States are twit blind to
these facts, and on election day they will
give earnest evidence of their confidence
in the party whose policy has so enriched
nnd prospered them.
We of the West are proud of the
achievements of our army and navy in
the war with Spain. The patriotic posi
tiou of the Republican party in declaring
for the retention of the territory so gal
la fit ly won from Spuin appeals to our
people.
They do not fear ''imperialism," for we
have never met an American who was
nn imperialist. I am in ris-eipt of let
ters from ninny nun who have never vot
ed anything but a Iiniioeratic ticket, but
who will vote for McKinley and ltoo<te
1 elt on Ibis issue alone.

HEWITT.
tX-MAYOR SQUARELY
FOR REPUBLICANS.
Supreme Court Would Nullify
Any Imperialistic Ideas.
Every True Democrat Can Taka No
Other Course Except to Vata the
Republican Ticket.
(By Abram S. Hewitt of New York, for
inerly Mayor anil Member of Congress.)
The political situation at this time i»
of a very different character from that
which presented itself four years ago. At
that time it seemed possible to maintain
u distinct Democratic organisation, based
upon tin* fundamental principles enun
ciated by Jefferson, and which had con
tinued to govern the party in all previous
presidential elections. The recent con
vention held at Kuusns City Inis, how
ever. rendered nil sneli expectations hope
less. The party which culls itself Demo
cratic is in reality Populistic, and bused
upon doctrines which, if carried into ef
fect, would produce political anarchy.
You ask whether 1 believe in the coin
age of silver ut the ratio of 16 to 1.
Yon might as well ask me whether 1 be
lieved that an ounce should be made to
pass for a pound in the ordinary transac
tions of commerce. 'Hie ratio is a false
ratio. The value of silver measured by
gold is, as every one knows, not 10 to 1,
hut III! to 1. The proposition of the plat
form therefore is to declare that fifty
cents shHll by law be made equal to on*
dollar.
You ask me whether the present admin
istration is likely to establish au imperial
istic form of government over this coun
try or in its new possessions.
I answer that the Constitution of thp
United States is too strongly intrenched
in the affections of the people to permit
its possible violation by the administra
tion, and that if such an attempt were
made, the Supreme Court of the United
States will surely interpret the (loustitii
lion in tile spirit of its founders and fop
tlie preservation of the constitutional gov
crunicut, to which we owe our stability
and our prosperity.
You ask whether a Democrat, by voting
for McKinley and Hoosevelt, could lie
considered false to the interests of Dem
ocracy. r answer that I do not see how
a Democrat who is true to the interest*
of Democracy can in the present exigency
take any other course llino to vote for
the Itc|hil.licaii ticket. I propose myself
so to Vote, and I do litis because I am *
Democrat who feels that llryauism and
all that it stands for is diametrically op
posed to the principles of the Democratic
patty, us they were enunciated liy JelTer
