ROVM. BAKINO POWDER CO., NEW YORK.
A Banking Trust.
This is a grave story. It is one of even,
near concern to small and great. Let it
come unshod of smile, unbusked image
ry or rhetoric uncloudtd of any mists of
metaphor. Tn Wall street rb this is read
the giant trust of all is forming. It is to
collect within itself the hanks of New
"York lily. Its coie is to be Standard
Oil. Its moving spirits are John Rocke
feller and Pierpont Morgan. With them
in full and cloe association are the
Eothchilds and their American ugents.
It,was to link the Ecthchilds to the
scheme that of late took Morgan Europe
ward and brought him back again. This
trust, at its consumation, which is close,
will pull the reins of guidance and crack
the whip of domination over two billions
of dollars. It will, as stated, be a mus
ter of the New York city banks. They
are to be made into one force unified
and brought under one word and one
command. Thereafter they are to Bay
"No" together or ''Yes" together, or to
gether stand motionless and mute. This
truBt of the banks ia to be the dictator
trust to over-lord all other trusts. The
greatest among these latter will be
dwarfed as they stand beside it. We,
the people, are to become the subjects of
bank conquest and suffer the feudalism
of money. This bank trust is to be our
William of Normandy. New York city
is to be its Hastings without a blow. It
will have, as it were, its Doomsday
book, and the country is to be parcelled
among its followers. This is a true tale.
There is neither guess nor fancy in its
teling; naught b it the bald facts are
set forth. This trust expects to hold the
nation in the hollow of its hand. As it
draws itself together, this bank trust
puts but one question to the future, and
that is the question of McKinley. It de
pends for its life though not its birth
on republican victory nest year. The
republican party had its origin to free
the blacks. It is to have final play in
making slaves of the whites. With four
years more of McKinley (Hanna) the
Eothchilds and Rockefellers and Mor
gans, who move in tHs black matter,
count this trust of the banks secure. In
that time they will have made every
needed fastening, buttressed every cor
ner, loop holed and gotten ready every

wall and battlement their defences.
Their plan is to be the grand bank of the
United States, issue at the last its money
and have custrdy over its credit. In a
cruder day Jr.ckson defeated a parallel
conspiracy, crushed beneath his stern
heel the head ot a similar serpent with
this difference: That was a python of
seven and one-half millions, a baby and
a plaything to the one in hand. Now
we are to confront a serpent of two bil
lions, or one two hundred and fifty times
as large, at a time, too, when the Jack
sons Beem gone from our midst. For a
century and a quarter there haa been
liberty in this land. For a century and
a quarter Europe, pointing to America,
whether in hate or love, was driven to
say with Job: "There the wicked cease
from troubling; there the weary be at
reBt 1 There the pRisoners rest together ;
they hear not the voice of the oppressor I
The small and the great are there and
the servant iB free from his master 1"
Once this trust of the banks and Europe
will say so no more. There will be none
to give tongue to it. The fact of free
dom will have departed ; the song would
be a lie. In that day ol gilded, narrow
fetters the spirit of true Americanism
will be crippled, bent and broktn. A
sightless Sampson, it will grind in .the
mills of the Philistines. It will long for
destruction and dig for death as for
treasures that He didden.
Standard Oil is to be the heart of this
bank trust. There is one known thing
of Standard Oil : Its minimum profits
are at leaBt forty millions yearly ; how
much more they be is the jealous secret
of Standard Oil and none may pierce it.
As stated, as caDtainconstructors of this
bank trust are Rockefeller, Morgan and
the Rothchilds. They will eo to New
Jersey for organization. That (.fate has
grown the Morocco of America. Its
statutes are the merest shipyards to
build and launch and outfit these trust
pirates of commerce. New Jersey, to
be consistent, Bhould adopt the black
flag as its banner; it should float the
jolly roger with skull and cross bones
from the dome shaft of its capital. Once
this trust of the banks is afloat, it will
have beneath its penion every bank in
New York. They must join or be de
stroyed. The old King Standard Oil
method will suffice for this. Then it will
extend itself. Every bank in the coun
try will become its gillie. There will be
no limit to its sway. Its powers will
find their last extension in the froutiers
of the possible. It will loose and un
loose credit; it will fix the price of
money and censure the markets to the
last item of value; it will pick up the
national debt and hold the country be
tween its thumb and finger; It will de
mand bonds and get them, or it will
lorce payment for them ; it will stand at
the spigoe of loans ; it will flow money
on or off at its selfish interests or ca
price. All our businesses will sit like
beggars at its gates. It will be the Dives
of trade, and commerce will become its
Lazarus. If it loves you, you may have
money; if it hates you, your ruin is
within its reach. In short, controlling,
as it will, the tides of credit in their ebb
and flow, this bank trust will rule the
mart. An autocrat, it will respond to
nothing but itself. There will be none
greater, none stronger. Congress will
exist by its consent and presidents wait
hat in hand for itB orders. It will have
power of life and death in business; to
lift up or strike down, to plant or up
root. Between the upper and the nether
millstones of its operations all men are
to be ground ; and all w ill be grists to its
hoppers. Elections will be at its mercy.
It will produce in office its own paid,
sworn followers. It will draw within
the train of its control eVery element of
government. You may change your
White House every four years, yourcon
gress every two; yet, once this trust of
the banks be rooted, you'll never change
your ruler. You will bow eternally be
fore this never-dying, changeless dynas
ty of money. N. Y, Verdict.

Editor Couhikr-Hkrald:
; Permit me to take your rostrum and
"rife ana mane a lew lemarks ' to your
many readers around Marquam, Glad
Tidings and Molalla. I promised them
all to write to them. We left Marquam
early Monday morning, August 21, f
Mt. Angel, thence via the Southern Pa
cific to Portland, where we stayed s 1
night, and on the 22nd at 11:15 a.m.
left on the Northern Pacific for Bozeman
where we arrived at 2 a. in. on the 24th,
and are comfortably quartered. I want
to speak in praise of the Northern Pa
cuic, as its general offices at 255 Mor
rison street were in every way all that
could be asked, "strictly business and
no foolishness," and withal obliging.
The writer has traveled much, and the
Northern Pacific is the best equipped
road over which we ever traveled. We
had two sections in the "tourist" anil
ate and slept with a regularity that was
commendable, Friends at Marquam
put us up many nice things, then
friends at Hubbard had just killed a
fatted calf and met us with cooked calf
and other dainties, and at Portland we
added to our stock such things as we
needed in the way of fruits, tomatoeB
and watermelons. At Goble our train,
in three sections, was run onto an im
mense floating railroad and ferried
across the Columbia river into Wash
ington. As we observed, as a state,
Washington is far superior to Oregon
In the "bunch grabs'' regions (eastern
Washington) cattle and horses were in
fine condition, though the grans seemed
dry and parched. The scenery as we
crossed the Cascades can not be de
scribed for beauty. The air is bracing.
The mountain streams always attract.
They remind me of a dog with a tin can
tied to his tail that wants to get sou.e
where at once and so goes rushing lie.e
and there. So those mountain streams
eo rushing and roaring a sight never
to be forgotten. We crossed the north
ern part of Idaho. Among the attra .
tious was Lake Pend d' Oreille, along
the banks of which we traveled for an
hour or more. It is a beautiful sheet of
water and is said to be deep beyond
sounding in places and toabjund with
fine fish. Tacoina and Spokane were
the principal cities of Idaho through
which we passed. The little village of
Hope is attractive. One of the peculiar
ities is that we left there an hour before
we arrived. This may seem a contradic
tion, but in the depot were two clock,
both were on time, but nhile one was
9 a. m., the other was 10 a. m. One
was Pacific time, the other mountain
time. And there we turned our watches
one hour ahead. At Heron we run into
Montana and immediately we proceed
ed to cut a big watermelon and hail it
as our future state. The great mount
ains' are the attractions along Clarks
fork of the Columbia, where we ran for
over Qne-hundred miles. We passed
many bands of Indians. We went
through Missoula and Helena.
Bozeman is a city of 5000 inhabitants.
Boon we met some old acquaintances of
twenty-five years ago. Here is the state
agricultural college ; also two large pub
lic school buildings, one of which cost
$30,000, the other $15,000. The people
look healty, especially . the women,
many of whom we saw along the way on
horseback. They ride just like men
same kind of a saddle riding on both
Bides of the horse at once with both f et
in the stirrups. Sunday we pie.ieh to
our new congregation. Although we
have done n i public service, ?5'i has
been handed us. The sick oi.es are do
ing nicely and we have great hopes and
will like our new home, but like as the
children of Israel sighed for the leeks,
garlic and fle.h pots of Egypt, so our
hearts will go back to Oregon. But for
health of family in Oregon we would
have stayed.

We have just leturned from Lugnyen
Gulf, where we have beet since hine
12th, and I found your letters awaiting
me. .
Laguyen, tr "Starvation gulf," as it is
better known, is 250 milei north of Ma
nila and is out of all line of communi
cation, so we could get neither mail ncr
provisions. We wore in p e'ty hard
lines We hid hardtack and canned
meat. Yesterday , we had two cans of
cc mod beef and twi plates of h.udtack
for 10 men. Our Fourth of July dinner
consisted of four pounds of corned beef
and four loaves of fresh bread. Now,
however, we shall b ah'e to gei fresh
provisions. The Peragna, a am ill gun
boat, got aground in one of the numerous
rivers around Sewill bay, and we were
looking for her three days. When we
found her she was surrounded by Fili
pinos and was out of food, coil and wa
ter and her amnriuitinn almost exhaus
ted. We landed a party from the Ore
gun and had a brush with the Filipino?,
which, though disastrous 'o them, hi d
no effee' on our crw. Got the gunbot.t
afloat after a week of hard lubor, then
captured three small rlllibnsters loaded
with provisions and threw their cargoes
overboard.
Last Friday we s'arted out 'o look for
the Concord, wlrch was thought to be
lost. Met her at the noithern end of the
islands and she relieved us, and Sunday
ui'irning we started back to Manila, ar
riving at 4:30 this morning.
News camo aboard toiiiuht that we are
tncoal up at. once and start for Friso
by way of t bins and Japan. If we do
