It Bfeginsutb look like Bry

An exchange has at last
solved the trust question.
Here it is: "The peanut trust
should be roasted; the flour
trust sifted to the bottom;
the cigar trust smoked out;
thef .plug trust chewed up;
the iron trust hammered but
thin; the twine trust twisted;
the furniture-trust carved in
twain; the metal trust heat

ed; the berry trust picked
clean ; the paper trust ground
into pulp;: - the' lamp trust
snuffed out; the lumber trust
nailed ; the -.bicycle 'trust
pounded; the mule trust
kicked to death and the coffin
trust buried. "
A democratic
exchange
seems terribly wrought up
because the price of shoes
has advanced - along with
other things . . It. points its
editorial quill at the trusts

Does any body know, what
the democrats really want?
In 1896 Eryen rrd his disci
ples said give us free silver
or we perish.- Give us free
silver in order that the - far
mer might receive higher
prices for his products. Give
us free silver so that the day
laborer might get better
wages. Give us free silver
so that we may have better
prices for everything. Oh,
free silver, free silver! To
raise prices from the dead
level of the infamous gold
standard Todav the demo-
crats are" cussing - because
prices are high. We. are of
the opinion that the demo
crats don 't know wha t - they
want and. they are not going
tovget it.
Nearly every paper that
comes to our table srives the
amount of the Law ton home
fund up to date. No w there
is something about this kind
of giving or7benevolence, if
such it may be called, . -that
gives us a pain in the hind
leg. We don 't criticise the
giving of fifty or sixty thous
and dollars to the widow of
General Law ton, although
she Will receive an annual
pension of $2000. Law ton
was aa rignt. vW'e.-tiaa no
braver man in the Philip
pines. ' But the point we
were striking at is this:
There have . been privates
killed over there as brave
and as good as Law ten.
Few of these soldiers had
magnificent homes and their
widows will receive only $8
a month from theV govern
ment. Those benevolent
hearted silk hatted bipeds of
S nobdom are raising no sub
scriptions for -these unfortu
nate widows, nor even trying
to ascertain their wherea
bouts or thei r wants. These
widows can go to the poor
house and thei r. ch ildrenv to

And when they think, my hope is gone
They find that I'm a goner!
I dash along the timbered hill,

And while the echoes gayly trill, '
Another way I'm scooting.
I hop from railway tie to tie, '
I climb the chasm craggy,
I watch the Yankees rushing by
All locking for their Aggie. ;

Democratic efforts to make
it appear that prosperity
only extends to the manufac

not fool anybody. The work

remarkable. -Insiead of the
streets of the cities being
filled with men searching for
work , the employment agen -cies
have been offering everv

to fill the orders they have
