BEVERIDGE ON TRUSTS.
The Indiana republicans, in conven
tlon assembled, upon the advice of
their chief spokesman, Senator Bev
erldge, approver the trusts upon the
ground that they go with prosperity
Senator Beveridge carried the con
vention by storm, in a speech contain
lngs these words:
"And now the opposition (demo
crats) propose the destruction of
those (trusts) agencies of the peo
pie's developing energies. It is the
policy of disaster. True statesman
ship Bays 'Hands off of the activities
of the American people, and they will
achieve as never nation lias achiev
ed. Let the Amerlcau people alone!
That is the keynote of this campaign
and of all campaigns.'
"HaB this movement oppressed the
people? It haB not oppressed the
worklngmen, because more laborers
are now employed at higher wages
than ever before in history! and in
savings banks ilone American work
Ingm'on have on deposit today over
$2,000.000,000 more than enough
ash to buy out any ten of the great
est corporations in the world. It is
;sald that this movement throws la
bor out of employment. When the
railroad came, the stage driver and
horse-dealer thought they were
thrown out of employment; but in
Btead new and better employment
was provided. When the self-binder
came, harvesters thought their occu
pation was gone, but, instead new and
hotter employment came. This
whole development, throwing men
hofe and there out of employment
for a day, furnishes permanently in
creased employment for the ever en-
larging number of American working
men; and whore 4,251.613 wage earn
ers were employed in manufacturing
10 years ago, nearly C.000,000 work
ing men are earning higher wages
now in the single occupation of man
ufacture alone. This movement has
not oppressed labor, it hns not op
pressed the agriculturist, because
American farmers in the last six
years have paid mortgages on their
farms to tho amount of $300,000,000;
and the American farmer could today
with his live stock alone, pay the en
tire national debt of England and
Germany and still have over ?520,000,
300 left. It has not oppressed any
class, because tho well being of the
wnoie American people 1b the aston
isnmont and envy of the whole
world."
This is a bold utterance and one
that will be niade with more fre
quency as time passes. The trusts
and combines have come to stay, so
long as wo presist in our present
taxation system. From the privileges
which this system creates, tho trusts
have their birth and uttmg and will
continue. "When men are willing to
burrender the privilege of land own
crship, of captializing land for pri
vate prifit, then the evils of Vn Iruals
end comulnatloi.s riil he po.ib!o of
elimination, but never before. So
long as men preslat in the privilege
of ihK ng for private gain the increas.
lng value of land due to an ever In
creasing population, the trusts and
combines will continue to rob the
many for the benefit of the few.
In short, land monopoly is the par
ent monopoly of all monopoly. Mon
ey and money trafflcors got all their
vast power and privileges from it,
and, until its ravages are checked,
the smaller ones of combinations
of capital and organized mono
poly will continue to flourish, in spite
of all tho anti-trust legislation that
can he wrltton and made Into law.
The people are simply holplesa undor
:ho present system of taxation, which
lavors the manipulators, speculators,
gamblers and all tho professional and
prlvllegs classes, at the oxponso of
those who carry .on industry and con
uct enterprise under competition,
rhich Involve all or -those engaged In
oing the world's work.
Senator Beveridge sees clearly tho
situation, nnd ho feels so strongly In
trenched, thnt he hns no hesitation in
allignlng himself on the side of Pow
or nnd Privilege, knowing that those
who would Bet up Right nnd Justice
equal rights are blind followers of
the blind, seeking for a remedy for
trust and combine evils In anti-trust
legislation of tho stamp proposed
Within a few years the trusts and
combines will be considered as regu-
lar, moral and lawful as the ordinary
J corporations, against which at one
time a relentless war was wnged.
The republican party is the party
of the trusts and combines, of tho
money kings, of the powerful and
privileged, but what are the people
going to do about it? Nothing, abso
lutely nothing! Because they are
blind and led by the blind, nnd not
being willing to dccapltalizc land and
all that the land naturally contains'
In placing the .whole burden of gov
ernment upon the land values. Irre
spective of improvements.
Do it, or attempt to do it, and the
trusts, combines, privileged rich, the
powerful few would rise up in alarm
At once we would see that we had
touched a most tender spot. But it
will not me done, unless the unex
pected should happen. Yet this did
happen in connection with the insti
tution of human slavery and it went
down like a house of cards! Will
history repeat itself in connection
with the present Institution of tax
ation, which indirectly gives a few
men more power over human beings
than 'even the institution of chattel
slavery ever did. The industrial
slave has taken his place, and he is
becoming more and more submissive
to his masters, and pressure has not
as yet been applied to any consider
able extent. When it is, the worker
will then realize that he is helpless,
and 'free institutions" will no longer
exist for him to appeal to for succor,
SCOTT ON FREE TRADE
H. W. Scott, of the Portland Ore
gonian, Is considered a forceful,
brilliant writer, and even those who
do not believe with him admire his
style. The East Oregonian prints the
following article, taken from the
Free Trade Almanac for 1902, from
Air. Scott's pen:
LeaBt possible legal Interference
with the course of industry and com
merce, least possible obstruction by
law, is the policy suggested by rea
son and approved by experience.
fcvery interference by government
is In one way another obstruction,
even when the avowed object Is to aid
industry nnd commerce, because such
undertakings disturbs the course of
things in natural movemont; and
while It may give advantage In cer
tain directions, it will impose checks
upon the natural movements of oth
ers. The freest possible movement
on lines naturally offered to produc
tion and exchange, is the sound prim
ciple. It is not a sound principle to
use tho powor of government to force
one industry, or set of Industries,
to carry others or to establish others.
All the "protection" that one sort
gets the other sort must pay for.
It Is Inevitable that the United
States should move in the direction
of freer trade. Development within
and advancement into the outer world
are making this course a necessity.
Honce the call for "reciprocity,"
which, however, is but a first ston.
Itjs a sign of unrest, indeed, rather
man a step; for even the proposal
to taKe it precipitates an acute con
llict bewcen protected and unprotect
ed interests, nnd tho question is ask
ed whether cruder products and the
materials of manufacture from for
eign countries are to be let In free of
or duty, while finished Roods are still
to have the favor of a protective tnr-
111. Thus rocinrnnltv. Rn.nnlln1
brings up that old burnlwr nuestlon
or our tariff debates.
The citadel of the protectionist no
sltion of the west, and particularly of
uie racuic cqast states, is wool; but
a strong outwork is fruit. Largo
numbers of- our people feel that these
interests must be "taken care nf.'
and for this reason they will support
a general protective policy to a far
greated extent than they would be
inclined omorwlse to do. The shpnn
and wool Interest Is of hich imiior-

ONE OF THE SIGNS.
The most hopeful Blgn to the
friends of Mr. Chamberlain is the fur
ious onslaught made on him by the
opposition. It indicates that there is
not only fear by his republican op
nonent. of his election but convlc
tlon that he will be elected. Hence,
the batteries are turned on him and
the most adroit political writers at
the commnnd of Mr. Chamberlain's
opponents have been employed to do.
all within their powor to compass nis
defeat.
In one column of a contemporary
republican paper appears an article
which scouts the idea that there is
any considerable number of republi
cans will vote ngainst Mr. Furnish,
yet 1 nail other columnB of that publi
cation, which are devoted to polltl-.
cal work, attention Is given solely to
Mr. Chomberlaln with the view of
weakening him. Newspaper influence
at its best is not over re,sultful with
the voter, but when it takes this form
It acts as a boomerang, returning to
Injure the originators.
Mr. Chamberlain has nothing to
fear from the newspapers that oppose
him, as their efforts are so poisoned
with partisanship and the desire to
"pull down" rather than state & fact
or tell the truth, that those who read
them fall to he caught in their net.
Political Notes.
Information has reached demo
cratic headquarters In Portland that
the republican state party managers
have issued a letter of advice in
structing republicans a over the
state to censentrate their efforts on
the election of the governor and con
gressmen, believing that they are in
great danger of losing these offices.
The democratic leaders in Wasco
assert that Mr. Chamberlain, Colo
nel Butcher, Colonel Rnley and Hen
ry Blackman will get a great many
more votes than the normal .strength
of the party. In Benton county Mr.
Chamberlain will get almost the
unanimous support of the people
without regard to party affiliation.
The Albany democrats are already
preparing for a reception to Mr.
Chamberlain on the date of his
speech in that city, May 27. They
are preparing to give the largest and (
most enthusiastic reception that was
ever held in Oregon. While M
Chamberlain was not born in Linn
county, he lived there for a number
of years and is entitled to- be called
Linn county s favorite son. Claims
are made that Mr. Chamberlain
majority in Linn will reach 1500.

Hon. Dan. A. Groavenor, Deputy Auditor for the War Department, In letter
written rrom Washington, D. C, says:
"Allow me to express my gratitude to you for the benefit derived
from one bottle of Peruna. One week has brought wonderful changes

DAN. A. QROSVENOR.
In a recent letter he says:

yes." Dan. A. Qrosvenor.
