LBAQUE. .f An Address to the Amerloan Peo pie hythe President of the Anti Trust Leaguo. The object of the American Anti-Trust League is to drive from public places the subservient tools of the trusts, monopo lies, combines and corporations, and to establish the equal rights of American citizens in the commerce and industries of the country. ' .Today in every legislative hall, both state and national, omnipresent stands the lobbyist and corruptionist of this great railroad, monopoly, trust combi nation, which has formed an alliance of fensive and defensive, by which they wish to control legislation and to plunder the producers and consumers of America. And. what is still worse, there also stand the representatives, elected by the people, who have become debauched and who are the secret servants and instru ments of this great corporate power and are ever ready to do their bidding, while proclaiming their devotion to the rights of the people. We find them every where in the legislature, m congress, m tne senate and on the bench. The political life of this kind Of representatives Is made easy. Their renominations are arranged for them by the political bosses, who are but the servants of this power. Cam paign funds are furnished. That part of the public press that can be managed is used to eulogite and lionize these subser vient tools. Their elections are managed for them. ' i ""' : There also stands the representative elected by the people, who is true to the mnciplesof manhood and is governed v the OToniDtiners of public welfare. He stands a bulwark against the legislative schemes bv which this great railroad, monopoly, trust combination expected to 1 i I 1 IT. 1 i 4. piunaer tne peopie. xae is ounoxiuuB w this domination" and controlling now ar. and their emmissaries are eeninto his district to undermine and destroy him politically. Some popular man is encour aged to become a candidate for nomina tion to his place, and the power and in nuence and money of this corporate con spiracy are put behind this candidate, and the true servant of the people finds himself defeated for renomination, and he is ; retired irom puonc me iwrea De- cause he was a true representative of the people and dared to defy this corporate monster. This process has been worked so silently and secretly that the people have not recognized the handiwork oy which a majority In their legislative bodies has been controlled. . In many of our srreat cities the street railway traction companies have crea ted a political despotism. That man who is ambitious politically, before he can hope to be nominated to any position - . 1 1 J 4. . 4. n 4. I 1 - J. 11.. OI puonc trust iiiueu nrei kubw uv vue throne. Yes, and in many cases before a laborer can hope to earn bread for his family he must first show that he wears the brand and collar of their ward boss. They have created a despotism so damna ble that man must become a serf to this corrupt corporate power before he can obtain an opportunity to work. I have talked with these men who mourn the loss of their liberty as American freemen. This great railroad,' monopoly, trust, traction conbination is "corrupting our public affairs and debauching our publio men'' and destroying the foundations of the republic by the corrupt use oi money in our political life.- , ; : '-f f . ; The purpose of the American Anti-Trust Leaarue is to arouse the only power on earth tha$ is stronger than the power ' of money in our puDiic we. 'mat power is the patriotic impulses of the people.' The little finger of that power, when awaken ed is stronger ten thousand times than the influence of 'all the billions of the trusts and combines of the . land. The memories - of - the. many sacrifices of the fathers call us to action, H these trust combinations , are allowed , to go on they can plunder each of us into po veri ty. v No man knows how soon the fear of hunger for his wife and family will make him a coward. P It behooves us to strike while the fire of liberty yet burns. : ? ' The American Anti-Trust League is non-partisan. We call all American free men to council. H a Democrat, or a Pop ulist, or a Bepublican, public man has shown himself to be a subservient tool of this great corporate power, then all the united power of all the men of the Amer loxa Anti-Trust League will be used to crush him and drive him from public life. We will adopt the ' tac tic of our enemy until we have created a legislative, judi cial and executive power in sympathy with the public . welfare. And we call upon every American citizen .who loves his country and the great principles of popular goverment better than he does his party, to jein us in the work of re establishing the equal rights of American citizenship.

THE NEXT NEWBERN FAIR Will Be Held the i Week Beginning ' April 16th: New and Big Plans . Proposed. ' " ' The directors of the Newbern fair have decided to hold the next exhibition the week begining April 16th, 1000. The Newbern Journal says: This is at a later date than ever before. The reasons for selecting this date are good ones, the chief one oeing to select good weather. A great risk is run in February and March on account of rain, for in those weeks storms lasting several days are not infrequent, and such an oc currence would ruin the whole enterprise. HOw narrowly the fair escaped the snow blizzard last year will be recalled, i Another advantage to be gained is that a display of agricultural products, green stuff and early vegetables can then be ex hibited., - This section will also be looking its best; j; the fields' covered with spring crops, and, visitors will be charmed ' with its appearance. ' The result t will be , of reat benefit ' to ! this ; - section.' Game, oysters, etc.,' can .be collected and pre served at the cold storage rooms of the ice house until the fair opens. L . The directors decided to make a special point of a great industrial parade, one to , be worthy of our city and section. ; For this purpose and for other aims, a com mittee was appointed to confer . with the chamber of commerce to secure united action on the part of all citizens to make a great success of the affair. The com mittee named were P. H. Pelletier, Ralph Gray and E. K. Bishop. The purses to be offered for the races were decided on and will aggregate $3,000. The date named will suit the horsemen as they have always wished or warmer weather. Jrrom ; an these things it is safe to predict the next fair will surpass any previous attempt and - be an industrial financial success. ' "Not There ' Again, j ' " Durham Sun.
