CUiswl t*p by the Trusts. t
The Nebraska City starch factory t
was incorporated in Nebraska City f
in June, 1S01. with paid up capital '
of $*1,000. The factory operated a |
few \ears and was reported prosperous
when, to the .surprise of the I
stty.kholders who were not nonnect-1 <
ed wi'h 'he management of the'j
company, an indebtedness accutnu- h
latcU uniii it amounted to about the
sum the pn?d nn capital.
The stockholders were given a
Choice Oi tiil iiCoCS al UC 111 ?.?li 1 v> U111 i Pig
tvj the sum of their stock or take ten
cents on the dollar. About one 1
third of the stockholders sold their
interest and in June 1894, it was
transferred to the Argo Starch com
pany. August, 1899, it was transferred
to the United Starch company
and August 1900 from the United
Starch company to the National
Starch company.
Hon. C. J. Smyth, a dcmociatic
attorney general of Nebraska
brought suit to keep it from being
transferred to the trust. Republicans
called a meeting for a public
protest, and a republican district
judge presided. Resolutions were
passed condemning the action of the
attorney general.
Soon afterwards a date was ar
ranged when Mr. Rryan and Mr,
Srnvth would speak in Nebraska
City. When they arrived, a copy
of the resolutions were presented to
them and threats were made to do
them bodily harm. Mr. Rryan, in
his opening sentence, said that he
bad "come to discuss the trust question
in the shadow of the starch
factory." He told them it would be
managed in an office in New York
City and by people who had no interest
in their community. He urged
the citizens to aid the attorney
general in keeping the factoiy from
being swallowed up by the trust
under whose management it would
be closed as soon as one of their other
factories paid better dividends.
The Commoner, from which paper
we take the above, says: "after
Mr. Rryan's defeat for president in
RMO, Mr. Hayward, now secretary
or the republican national commit
tee, sent Mr. Bryan a postal earn
referiing to the fact that Nebraska
went republican and suj. g sting

'state. The trust operated the factory'but
a few years. It was soon
closed. In the spring of 190S it was
sold to the S. Krug Wrecking company
of Chicago. It has been dismantled,
one section of the building
has been wrecked and a crew of
men are now at work wrecking the
entire building."

"More and more serious trouble
in the national camp of the Republicans,"
says the Columbia State.
Senator Foraker, a shining light in
the party and considered one of its
cleanest, as will as one of its most
able men, is suddenly dropped by
Taft and h-is managers.
"For weeks the Taft engineers
have schemed to effect a reconciliation
between the Ohio senator and
the Republican candidate, and a fewdays
ago these two men were suddenly
brought together before ten
thousand people and Foraker forced
bv circumstances to reply to Taft's
fr.endlv salutation. Republican papers
featured the arrival of peace
and harmony in Ohio and the wiping
out of a serious feud. And Taft
and Foraker were advertised to ap
pear together at a great rally of Republican
clubs in Cincinnati next
Tuesday.
"But last week W. R. Hearst said
in a speech that Mr. Foraker and
John I). Archbold of Standard Oil
had correspondence, and that Foraker
represented Standard Oil. The
Ohio senator, probably secure in the
belief that Hearst had not been able
to acquire Archbold,s private let
ters. freely admitted having been
*.i- t \ _ ? n a i rv.'l I
ine legal agent 01 amnaaru uu uefore
going to Washington, but declared
he had not been employed
while senator and that the correspondence
had nothing to do with
legislation. The next day Hearst
published the letters.
"One showed that fifty thousand
dollars had been deposited to Foraker's
order by Archibold; the other
asked him to tight a bill against
trusts then pending. Both were
addressed to "Dear Senator/' at
"Washington, D. C." The methods
of Hearst do not lessen the weight
of this blow to Foraker and the Republican
party. It is terrific. It is
absolutely crushing; an 1 when it is
realized that Foraker's policy is
common among Republican senators,
it gives the people a real in
dght into methods of the leaders in ':
that party. It gives them an understanding
of why the trust? contribute
so heavily to Rjpubli.'an cam- <
paign funds.
"The blow to Foraker and the <
barty is keenly felt by Taft, and as
evidence of his understanding of the
seriousness of the situation, after
a conference with leaders who represented
Taft. Foraker wrote a letter
sa\ing he would not embarass
the candidate by appearing at the
rally of Republican clubs tomorrow
night. He will nrobably drop out
of the national campaign."
Tliey Were For llryun.
The most notable and important
feature of the opening of the Re
publiean national campaign at
Youngstown, Ohio, on the Saturday
before Labor Day was the part the
steel trust took in helping to give
Mr. Taft a good start in his own
State. The great mills of t ho Carnegie
works of the United States
Steel corporation, the Republic Iron
and Steel company, and the Youngstow.i
Sheet and Tube company were
qui?t, for a three-day holiday had
been declared, including Sunday and
Labor Day. Young, town is a steel
town, and the brawn and muscle of
her chief industry formed the body
of the parade which proceeded the
discharge of the heavy political ordnance.
The Cincinati Knquirer says the
commanding feature of the day was
the parade which proceeded the
speaking in Wick park. There were
a few over 12,000 men in line. Of
these more than 10,000 came from
the steel mills. Supplied with uniforms
at the expense of the companies,
the toilers presented a striking
appearance as they marched
past the reviewing stand.
Because of the opening a shutdown
of the mills was ordered till
next Monday and the occasion made
a holiday. But few of the workers
attended the meeting in Wick park.
This was easily seen by the lack of
uniforms in t'^e crowd. Probably
not over one-tenth of the turnout
I came to near the speeches. They
found other attractions that the
holiday furnished ami were content
to let others listen.
"There were thousands of Hungarians,
R mmanian." and other Slav
people in this division. Rich man
wove a khaki suit and carried a cane
or flag furnished by his employers.
They were divided into brigades and
wen: ergarn/icMi on mimary lines,
having i egimeiital and brigade oflicers.
One of the unusual incidents
occurred when the parade halted at
the E ks club. Some one called for
a cheer for Taft. Out of the uniformed
ranks in response came a
roaring shout for Bryan and
the column moved on." This is the
story. It carries its own argument,
and requires very iittle comment by
way of elucidation.
Democratic Landslide.
The mathematician of the Jrcksonvdle
Tunes Union has been employing
hims.df figuring out what
would be the result of the presidential
election if the Democratic gains
in all the other states should equal
the gains made by the democrats in
the recent state election in Maine,
The result he presents amount to a
perfect landslide. It leaves only
fourteen states with 1157 electoral
votes, and give the democrats thirty-two
states with IMG electoral
votes. This would give Bryan an
electoral majority of 209 votes, or
18 more than Roosevelt's unprecel
,J * ?: ?:? ...
uvtiiccu iimjuriiy u>ur years ago. k~o
astounding is the result of this calculation
that the Times Union feels
compelled to say: "Of course we
do not make any such ridiculous
claims as would be indicated by this
talk." The Augusta Herald says
"certainly not, for such a claim if
made would'be received with incredulous
jeers and nobody likes to be
laughed at. Hut one may speculate
on results; one may reason from
cause to effect and draw the conclusions
they indicate. And looking
at it in tnis ugni tne conclusion
arrived at by the Times-Union does
not seem 'ridioulous.' Roosevelt
was elected by the largest majority
ever given a president. It has often
happened that the largest majorities
are most decidely reversed at the
succeeding election. And so there
seems nothing ridiculous in anticipating
such a landslide as has
surprised the Times-Union as the
result of its calculations."
Ashamed of Ills Company.
In commenting on the Foraker ex
posure and Mr. Taft's desire to part
political company with that distinguished
Republican politician. The
State tires this broadside into the
Republican presidential candidate:
"Rut wny should Mr. Taft be so
squeamish? Is not Nr. Taft's treasurer
daily soliciting ami accepting
contributions from those persons
that the Republican party rewards
for financial support with 'protecting'
laws, the 'protection' being
against low prices tor the American
consumer? And if the president
of the United States, so admired
by Mr. Taft. can commission
Railroad Magnate F. 11. Harriman
to levy $2ti0,000 tribute upon special
corporate interests in New York
to pull Mr. Roosevelt out of a bole
in that State, why can not a mere
United States senator sell his services
in Congress to the Oil Trusts?"
Mr. Taft does not object to Foraker's
methods but he does not want
to be seen in his company, because
he has been caught red handed.
Taft is being supported hv worst
men than Foraker and Mr. Taft
knows it. They are all right until
they are caught in Mr. Taft's estimation.

Judge Parker. who was the I),on
ooratic presidential candidate in
1904. is taking anjactive part in the
present campaign, and, as the Charleston
Post says, he is bombarding
Roosevelt with thirteen inch shells
Judge Parker is dealing in his spec*
ialy, taking up practically where he
left off in his own campaign against
Mr. Roosevelt, the charge that Mr.
Roosevelt's agents in 1904 made
some very shady financial and political
deals with the "malefactors
of great wealth" in Wall street.
Judge Parker has now the proof of
his statements, in the revelations of
the insurance investigation and in
the Harriman letters, wherein Mr.
Roosevelt is shown to have had personal
communication with this "undesirable
citizen" upon the question
of raising fundi to promote bis
election, and to have olfered to confer
with him upon mat ters of State
and to c< nsuer especially his suggestions
as to railroad legislation
Judge Parker was stoutly denounced
by Mr. Roosevelt four years ago
for presuming to intimate anything
of this kind, but it has all come out
in the indictment, and there is no
gainsaying tie statements that
Judge Parker is now- able to make
and is making with convincing effect.
Before he gt t* through J udge
Parker will show that Roosevelt was
the liar and no*himself.

it is cleansing, cooling and soothing.

Serious Itemihl iraii Iteverse.
The Springfield Republican, which
is a supporter of Mr. Tatt, made
the following admission in reference
to the Maine election a few days before
it was held: "When it is remembered
that the Republican plurality
was 27,160 in the State election
of 1904, 34,132 in 1900, and 48,377
in 18%, a fall below 20,000 would
have to be considered encouraging
to the opposition party, while anything
below 10,000 would be counted
as a more or less serious Republican
reverse." As the Republican
plurality was only 8,0% they have
met a serious reverse and the Democrats
are more than encouragedOf
course, the Republicans will at
r\ u An/tn r\ f Ae t Kit vnenlf in
vf. u? vui t i wi vnv i ?.rutt iij
Maine on all eorts of pretexts, but
they may as well face the stubborn
facts, which are that that the people
have lost all faith in the Republican
party and have determined to
make a change in the administration
of affairs.
All the Democrats are getting
to-gether which means the the election
of Bryan and Kern. Richard
Olney, Mr. Cleveland's secretary of
state, comes out strongly for Bryan.
In a four-column letter to The
World he arraigns the Republican
party and commends support of
Bryan.
