Washington, 1). c., Oct. ll), li?0:?. Official Washington is amazed and astounded nt thu revelations wadu under oath by Leroy Dresser, lute President of thu Trust Company of the Republic, relative to tho thimble rigging ii? connection with tho ?nie of the Bethlehem steel plant to tho Ship building Trust. lt has shocked even Wall Street, hardened as it is, and ap palled the people. According to Mr. Dresser, J. Pierpont Morgan, Charles M. Schwab, and their partners in "high finance,'1 in return fora property worth j 97,300,000 received $?10,000,000 in the ' securities of thc trust, together with au agreement that none of the tock or bonds of th?' trust was to be marketed until the holdings of J/orgnn, Schwab et al. had been sold to the confiding public. What was this but a double intended cheat on a gigantic scale? A cheat on investors by taking their money for water, and a elieat on tho stockholders of tbo trust by depriving them of a market for their securities until tbo holdings of tho "captains11 had been transmuted into money. What is tho difference, in its moral quality, of tbo action of these "captains of industry"-these financiers who practice arts for tho pillaging of tho community, from those which land small swindling rogues in jail? Yet theso discredited men have held, and still hold, the I'm an ci ?il wol faro of multitudes throughout tho United States in the hollow of their hands. And among these are persons, who nosed as democrats dunug Mr. Cleveland's last tenn, and were con spicuous among tho bolters of 1890 and 1900. They are tho same smug hypo crites who have tho brazen, effrontery, the ineffable gall, to attack an Ameri can patriot like William Randolph Hearst. They aro tho same bandits who unctuously talk about protecting tho conservative business interests of tho country, who vraut to pass upon tho "safety" forsooth, of the demo cratic presidential candidate, and who, under cover of a sanctimonius demeanor want to put forward one of their tools as the standard bearer of J elle IBO n's party. /Tho Shipbuilding Trust's re cords show that. "Mv. Morgan got his first." Well, there doesn't seem to bo such a marked difference between Mr. Mor gan's methods in this instance and when President Cleveland handed over to Mr. Morgan an entire government bond issue to "iloat." Mr. Morgan took the bonds at a good deal ICBS than tho market price and two days later peddled them out at a profit of S5 or $(1 a bond. Again, "Mr. Morgan got his first." The Now York nowpnper head lines explain in their terse way: "Mor gan got 85,000,000 for a nod/' in tho shipbuilding swindle. What did ho have to givo for tho government bond lloatation inquisition? Remember that tho gentlemen who engineered the shipbuilding deni, the exposure of which has startled oven tho moral pachyderms of Wall Street, aro tho snmo who tell us thnt they must name the democratic presidential candidate. Will tho people stand it? Will they allow tho men who aro pil laging tho people, and who aro being helped in their game by tho President of the United States and the Secretary of tho Trou?ury, by loaning them the money in the United States Treasury, to name tho candidate of the demo cratic party for president? If they do they know what they will get. Tho republicans in Ohio aro getting scared. Hanna has lost his bend and is swearing and storming at Tom John son like a maniac. He answers logic and reason with curses and epithets. Verily, "Whom the gods would destroy they first make mad." The republicans are going to import about 1,800 spoil binders into the State to demolish Tom Johnson and John H. Chvrke. One of these spellbinders is Mr. Roosevelt's Secretary of the Treasury, Mr. Leslie M. Shaw. The voters in Ohio seem to be trying to arrive at an honest con clusion in this strenuous campaign and they are asking many questions. Tho republicans are trying to make tho campaign on national issues and endeavoring to dodge State issues. It is presumed, therefore, that the honorable Secretary of the Treasury will contine his speeches to national issues of finance and taxation. In that case suppose some good farmer should invite him to answer these qnestions: Is it just to continue taxing the peo ple $50,000,000 a year in excess of the needs of the government? Would it not be better as well as more equitable to leave the money not required for the expenses of the gov ernment in the pockets of the people who earn it. rather than to deposit it in favored banks without interest? Why should nc c Congress at the com ing session repeal or reduce the duties on steel and other trast-mndo producto that are manufactured cheaper here than they can be abroad, and are ac tually sold in foreign marketa at prices lower than to our own consum?is? When will the republicans repeal or reduce duties that are no longer need ed for either revenue or protection, but that, in the language ot the Iowa re publicans, "shelter monopoly?" Does the Secretary think the "day after never" a satisfactory tale? Cr is it his opinion that the time and the char acter tariff revision should be fixed by the monopolies that benefit by tho du ties? Candid answers to those questions without quibbling or shuffling will open the eyes of thousands of voters in this election. Let us have them. The question of how the farmers of the western States stand on the tariff and trust issues baa been strongly in dicated through the enterprise of the "Farm and Home," published in Chica go. That newspaper sent ont 50,000 postal cards requesting answers to seven questions, amongst which was "Should tariff be revised?" The vote on that proposition was yes, 27,108; no, 10.788. When lt is considered that the ma jority in most of the States from which this vote is gathered is largely repub lican, it marks the revolt in the ranks of that party against excessive protec tion. But another vote was taken on a kindred subject that shows how the extortions of the trusts are regarded by the farmers. The question asked was: "Should trusts be regulated or suppressed?" Thc answer was: Regu lated, 22,854; Suppressed, 14,440. This straw vote shows the drift for tariff reform and regulation of the trusts. | The standpatters have a job in front of : them next year. * Chas. A.
