TRUSTS .1X0 THE PEOPLE.
"The largo trusts and combinations
already formed and being formed by
aggregations of capital ate considered
hurtful to the masses and the com
mon people," says tle Kev. Sim P.
Jones in the Manufacturers' Kecord.
"This is a theory. Theoretically, a
thin-; may be so, and practically it
may be very untrue. When we
speak of trusts and combines we
think of the Standard oil trust, the
suartiut, and the tobacco trust,
etc. When the Standard oil trust
was formed I was paying forty cents'
a gallon f r kerosene oil; I am get
ting it now for ten cents a gallon. I
was paying 1 2 J cents for sugar sev
eral years ao, but when the combi
nations set in we got it at 5 J. When
the whit-key trust was organized I
was in hopes it would put up whiskey
where the poor devils couldn't get
it, but they have seemed to cheapen
tb:U down to where they can pay the
government ifl.lo a gallon revenue
on it and ) et sell it for $1.27 j, which
demonstrates that lliey are making
it and letting the public have it at
about 12A cents a gulion.
"There Is no doubt about the ag
gregation of wealth, with brains con
trolling ii, that they can manufacture
any article cheaper than it is or has
been manufactured on a small scale.
The great railroad combinations,
manv think, will eat us up blood
rare. Occasionally I get on a little
jerk-water rond that is not in the
combination, and I want to double
my accident rolicies and be satisfied
with a I.j-milc-un-;hour gait and
console myself with the idea that I
can ride all day for a dollar, but
when 1 get on the Pennsylvania or
Vanderbilt system of roads, with
"their schedules forty miles an hour,
vestibule trains, wilh parlor cars,
sleeping cars, dining cars, I have a
hotel on wheels carrying me toward
my destination, and all this for about
two cents a mile. (Jive me the road
mat is in Uie combine to carry me
where I am going.
"'Public sentiment is the safeguard
which is thrown around all aggrega-
tions of wealth and all combinations
f interest. The Standard oil, the
railroad combinations, tiie sugar
trust are as sensitive to public senti
rnent as the snow-bank to the rays of
the sun. Trusts and combines will
not hurt the public, but stockholders
and bondholders may suffer later on,
when these great bulky institutions
become unwieldly and fall with their
own weight. Fifty thousand men in
the United States, perhaps not more,
are interested in the great trusts of
the country. Those fiO.OOO men
know that there arc 70.000,000 of
other people in America, and their
wisdom teaches them where bound
ary lines are, over which they can
not go without peril to themselves
and disaster to their business. No
combination now says "damn tbe
public," but they have their weather
cocks out on every prominent cupola
watching how the wind blows.
"The successful man or combina
tion means the downfall of other
men and other combinations. One
preaching to 5,000, twenty preachers
around him consider 73 a full house,
and 100 a perfect jam; one physician
making 10,000 a year, and forty
little doctors in tbe neighborhood
not making their grub. A Wana
maker selling 15,000,000 a year
means many little merchants apply
ing for clerkships in his store. It is
tbe survival of the Quest, it may be.
When God made tbis world lie made
mountains towering into the clouds
and valleys below tbe level of tbe
sea; He made lakes and oceans; He
fptead out the prairies of the west
and piled up tbe mountains around
tbe little valleys along tbe ranges of
tbe Rockies and tbe Allcghenies.
In tbe ocean' waters we Dnd whales
-and some very small fishes, and

market, aud no demand for them,
then we have stringency and hard
times, liut when the highways over
the seas shall be laden with our
products into foreign countries, and
the gold is brought back in the ships,
then we shall llourish perenially. A
negro and an old mule can make
corn and cotton; a fellow with a .'00
sawmill can make lumber; but only
aggregations of wealth can build
ships ami open markets in foreign
lands."
The Constitution, an itinerant
democratic journal published at
Walla Walla, calls on the Chronicle
for "a few explanations" about
Spokane bank clearances. Js'o ex
planations are needed. Here they
are for the fust six months of 1800,
the last year of democratic rule, and
the first half of 1900, with William
McKinley in the White House:

The CniiONicLK wonders if the
parents and guardians of The Dalits
young people of both sexes, who go
on Sunday excursions to Bonneville,
really dream of the orgies that some
of them participate in. If this paper
told the half of what comes to its
ears of these Sunday carousals it
would make every self respecting
person in The Dalles blush for
t-liauic. Suflice it lo say that it is
the sober judgment of persons who
have reluctantly witnessed some of
these drunken and beastly exhibitions
that strangers who have also wit
nessed them must think The Dalles
is a community of drunkards and
worse.
Our esteemed Ilryunitc contem
porary says "the nomination of
Hryun aud Stevenson gives general
satisfaction to the democrats, popu
lists and silver republicans of this
vicinity." The reference to silver
republicans will do for foreign con
sumption but if the immortal soul of
our esteemed contemporary were at
stake it could not name three liryan
ite free silver republicans in all
Wasco county.
Don 51. Dic kinson, who was a postmaster-general
under Cleveland, is
out against liryan nud in favor of
McKin'ey. Dickinson takes the view
of Bryan which is taken by most of
the honest money men of the coun
try, democrats as well as republicans.
He declares he would not trust Bryan
on any sort of a platform. Bryan,
be says, would be a rcpudiator even
if Le stood on a platform which
favored the gold standard and de
nounced repudiation. Dickinson pre
diets that "Bryan will not get within
2.000,000 as many votes as be got in
t8yC. The republicans, however,
aie not counting on any such drop
as this in Bryan's vote. The repub
licans believe Bryan will be very
far in the rear in the voting, but
they do not expect to see his canvass
entirely collapse. Cleveland, Dick
inson, Carlisle, Fairchild, Btickner,
Palrrer and the great body of the
honest money element of the democ
racy will cast straight republican
ballots on November C.
We hive had many ridiculous
things in American politics but
nothing quite so absolutely ridicu
lous as a set of able-bodied American
citizens working themselves into a
frenzy over an imaginary spook that
they Lave dubbed imperialism, and
with which they think to scare sen
sible people into voting for the most
absolute political dictator American
politics has known since the days of
Andrew Jackson.
A patent boiler-plate cdkonal
squib going the rounds of the Bryan-
ite press says: "Bryan and a re
public or McKinley and an empire.
Which shall it be?" That isn't the
alternative The Chronicle figures
out. We would put it: "Bryan and
free sonp, free silver, free trado and
free riot, or McKinley and the best
times tbe country has ever known."

The Colfax Gazelle thinks that "if
democratic deserters were shot, the
party would have to lay in a great
supply of guns and ammunition this
year."

gusted democrat said at Kansas City
on tbe closing day of the convention,
"that fellow at Lincoln sits with Lis
legs crossed and needs only n crown
"The Philippines are ours and
American authority must be supreme
throughout the archipelago. There
will be amnesty broad and liberal,
but no abandonment of our rights,
no abandonment of our duty. There
must be no scuttling policy. No out
side interference blocks the way to
peace and a stable government.
Obstruct ionists arc here, not else
where. They may postpone but they
cannot defeat the realization of the
high purpose of this nation lo restore
order to the islands and establish a
just and generous government."

Kev. Ulysses F. Hawk, pastor of the
First Methodist church of tbis city, took
for his subject on Sunday morning
"Fishers of Men." His text was "Fol
low me and I will make you fishery of
men;" Matt. iv.l'J. He said in part:
It is my purpose to try to take your
minds away from this warm room this
morning to some cool mountain stream
and ask you to study with me the science
of trout fishing. In my text Christ In
vites some plain lishermea to leave their
fishing industry and follow him and he
will teach them to be fishers of men.
There are many people who cannot fol
low Christ because of their imperfect
lives. They have no trouble physically.
They have strong bodies and good minds,
hat they are dead in trespasses and in
sins. Christ never speaks to dead peo
ple sayiDg "follow me," but to the liv
ing. Christ cannot use "sick-a-bed"
christians. Tbe church baa often tried
to put them to work, but it is a mis
take; they disappoint in every instance.
They need medicine first; the fever of
indifference must he removed first by
a itood dose of divine grace. Then they
will be able to follow grace.
We are not only to follow Christ ; but ;
he says "and I will make vouchers of j
men." It was three years and a half l
after Peter had been converted until he j
was fully prepared to follow Christ ac
ceptably; until he was filled with the j
spirit; but it need not he so with us. i
"Received ve the holv soirit when ve !
believed?" If not you must have him
before you can do any acceptable Celling.
We need not wait until after we are
converted to see if God intends iisiiid us
in his service. The words come to us
the moment we look upon til in, "Couie,
follow me, and I will make you fishers
of men."
Let us for a short tune study the
science of fishing. Firet, the fisherman
will drees suitably for his occupation.
He will not wear a showy aUire that he
may look attractive. No, it is his busi
ness to entirely keep himself out of
sight. The jeweled hand might he the
first thing notieable and frighten the
fish away, spoiling the catch. So
Christ's fishermen must keep self out of
sight; they must stand behind the cross
of Christ while they are fishing. The
necessity for hiding self often renders a
cloudy day the best time for fishing;
days when the Lore', has hid himseif be
hind some cloud of sorrow, when we
can say with the poet:

The cry of "imperialism" is an in
vention of desperate politicians who
would scare the people by a ghost. It
is meant solely to deceive the people,
whether it is proclaimed from the
stump or condensed into print. It is
direct insult to the intelligence and
patriotism of tbe people, for there Is
not one who ntters it who does not
know that imperialism never for a
moment entered the mind of Mr. Mc
Kinley or any one near him ; and more,
that were any such purpose to appear
from any source it would instantly be
stamped into the ground.

A good line is needed, long enough to
reach tbofih; but not too long. The
line is an emblem of prayer. Must it be
too long? So; hut it must he woven by
the spirit, and it must be strong with
faith. If it lack thespiritandfuitt.it
will break at the firet lining. The line
must be thrown where the Can are.
Hot often is :he line of prayer misdi
rected, and the hook found to sink to
the bottom of the stream and is being
covered by the sand. Did you ever
think how big a fish you can catch with
a small hook? It is not so much the
size of the hook as the quality. The
strong small hook is the best. You are
fishing in deep pools of sin ; you need a
"sinker." The sinker on the line of
prayer is love. Love will lead the line
down into the heart and the hook will
r.Hke hold. When fishing in the muddy
water of this world it is necessary that
we use a "float," good judgment, to keep
the hook off lh bottom and out of the
mud and sand. The wise man said,
"Lean not unto thine own understand
ing." The bible Is the bait box. I
mean no irreverance. Is the bible not
full of passages with which we may bait
the hook. "For God so loved the world
that he gave bis only begotten son
that whosoever believeth in him should
uot perish, but have everlasting life."
But we must dg for the bait; "Kearch
the scriptures; they are they which tes
tily of me."
The fishing tackle is now complete.
There are five things the fisherman tries
to conceal himself, the line, tbo book,
float and sinker; the bait is the only
thing he tries to get the fish to see.
This is a fact we christians should learn.
We must bide ourselves behind the
cross; self must be hidden in Christ.
Did yoa ever hear the cry "Where is my
fishing tackle?" Then there will be
searching around the house from the
garret to the cellar. Brother, sister,
where do you keep the fishing tackle?
Can you find it when you wish to use it?
Keep the tackle where vou can easily
find it, and do not let the bait get stale;
bat keep it fresh.
When wo fish wo must go where the
fish are. Yoa are a poor fisherman if
yon do your fishing around the church
pew. They are the "slck-a-Led" Chris
tians that fish around the church pew.
Yon must go out in the highway and by
way, to the business house, the work
shop, the office; there is where you will
find tbe sinner fish. Mountain stream
fishing Is done with delight; climbing
rocks, crawling over trees and through
the thick brush. What cares the fisher
man for such difficulties? He is catch
ing fish and the banket is being filled.
This is the condition of the faithful fish
erman. Hardships, he knowns them
not. He has "a riifht spirit within."
He is catching fiih for his master.
My brother, bait the hook quickly ; do
not spend the time holding the hook
and bait: the opportunities are getting
less every day. Throw the line skill
fully. Do uot get the line caught in the
branches of tho overhanging trees. It
is not skillful fis'iing to begin to talk
theology ortboclurch; Christ must be
our theme; Christ is our salvation. It
is our business to help men to see Him
in all his goodness and greHlneep, unit
then thpy will servo liiiu and crown
Him Lord of all.
