DOWN WITH THE TRUSTS.
Id fighting imperialism the
question of trust* should not
be overlooked or forgotten. From
these bloated corporations, made
possible by republican legislation,
the republican t?n5t drawing
their campaign funds. And it is
Kkely that every trust in the laud
will respond to Mr. Hanna’s ap
peal. They know if the democrats
win their rapacity will be check
ed. The farmer, the mechanic,
the laboring man is vitally inter
ested in the suppression of these
trusts as the following figures will
abundantly demonstrate:
It requires 50 per cent more
wheat to bny a stove than it did
in 1896.
It requires 20 bushels more corn
to bny a wagon than it did in
1896.
It requires 100 per cent more
ru to buy a copper kettle than
in 1896.
It requires twice as much corn
to buy a coil of rope as in 1896
It requires 40 per* cent more
grain to buy a plow than in 1896.
It requires 75 per cent more
grain to buy a hoe, a rake or a
shovel than in 1896.
A set ot common wbeelB that
cost $7 in 1896 uow costa $12
The price of cultivators and
other farm implements has gone
up proportionately.
Galvanized barbed wire costs
from $4 to $4.50 perhundred more
than in 1896.
It requires 40 per cent mure corn
or cotton to buy a pound of sugar
than in 1896.
You have to pay 40 per cent
more for glass than in 1896
Freight rates have climbed
back to the exorbitnat prices which
caused a popular revolt in legisla
tion a few years ago.
The prices of oil, coal, lumber,
tools atid hardware have gone up
from 40 to 100 per ceut.
All these tbiugs have beeu done
by trusts.
trust robs you waking or

working or playing, living or
dying, and the coffin trust gets

BRYAN S SPEECH OF ACCEPTANCE
Nashville American (dem ): The
people who are trying to make
that woro-out and threadbare is
sue, free silver, an issue will get
cold comfort from Mr. Bryan’s re
marks. If they want to auswer
his speech, they cannot do it with
auti free silver arguments. This
much is certain.
Columbia State (dem ): All in
all no other democrat could have
made so superb a presentment of
the case, and, because be baB made
it, William Jennings Bryan has
earned a new title to that party
leadership of which it was the
formal acceptance.
Washington Post (Ind ): M
Bryan’s speech is long, but it
worth reading. It is the ablest,
most logical and thoughtful, as
well as the most adroit aud plausi
ble, presentation of the question
of imperialism which has yet been
submitted to the American people
Chattanooga News (dem.): That
he has given the country a speech
agatust imperialism that lays bare
the dangers that underlie the poli-
cies of the McKinley administra
tion, no fair man will dispute. He
strips the mask of hypocrisy from
the republican party in dealing
with this subject, and points out
the only safe road for the people
who love their republican form of
government to travel.
Mobile Register (dem ): The
seed Mr. Bryan has sown will not
fall on barren grouud, but will be
fruitful aud produce a good har
vest, even though Mr. Biyao him
self happens not to be the man to
reap it. As one of os, as a citizen,
and as a lover of the principles of
liberty, he will, no matter what
happens, see the growth of a re
vived patriotism and love of jus
tice, and have the satisfaction of
knowing that he haB performed
for his country a great and good
service.
Roosevelt is trying to explain
bis speech, in which he charged
cowardice to democrats. But his
explanation fails to explain. He
says that he meant the democrats
in the Kansas City convention.
Well, there were some brave dem
ocrats there.
Philadelphia Times: All that is
required now is an Indian war to
make the white man’s burden com
plete. We are fighting brown
men in tbe Philippines, yellow
men in China and black men in
New York, but there are oot
enough red men left to fight.
Tbe course pursued by this gov
ernment in connection with the
situation in China has been mark
ed by moderation and rare good
judgment. And it is noticeable
that most of tbe powers have,
throughout tbe different stages,
- waited and taken their cue from
the action of tbetJait)cl States.
ING4LLS ON BEN HILL.
For terreuecs of expression and
brilliant epigrams the late Kx-
Seuaior John J. Ingalls bad few
ebuala. He ^ttS.a most accom-
plipLcd 'phrase maker But, like
iugereoti, there was a vein of ag
nosticism running through his
speeches aud writings. One of
bis notable deliverances in the
senate was bis eulogy on Ben Hill.
Amoug other things he said:
“Beu Hill has gone to the un
discovered country.
Whether bis journey thither
was but ote step across an imper
ceptible frontier, or whether an
iutermiuablo ocean—black, un
fluctuating aud voiceless—stretch

and -.hose invisible shores—we do
not know.
‘Whether on that August morn
ing after death he saw a more
glorious sun rise with unimagina
ble splendor above a celestial bo
rizou, or whether his apathetic
aud unconscious ashe^ still sleep
in cold obstruction aud insensible
oblivion—we do not know.
Whether bis strong aud subtle
energies found instant exercise iu
atiolher forum, whether bis dex
trous and disciplined faculties
are now contending in a higher
senate than ours for supremacy
or whether his powers were dissi
pated and dispersed with his part-
ng breath—we do not know.

tions aud affections still sway,
The New York Journal takes
broader view of the race question
than a good many northern jour
oals. Referring to tbe late race
riots in New York, tbe Journal
says:
“The race problem that distracts
tbe south would distract tbe north
in exactly tbe same way if the
conditions were similar. Indeed,
it seems reasonable to say that the
generations during which white
and black have been in close con
tact in tbe sontb have developed
in that quarter a capacity for gat
ing along in harmony superior to
our own.
“It is not comfortable to think
of the possibilities here it tbe
colored population of New York
were eqnal proportionately to that
of New Orleans.’*

WHERE THE RESPONSIBILITY RESTS.
There baa been serious doubts
for weeks as to whether tbe impe
rial government of China or a
lawless, ungovernable mob of
Boxers were responsible for the
continuous assaults on the foreign
ministers in Pekiu and tbe whole
sale slaughter of native Christians
in that city. With the relief of
the legations the curtain has been
raised and} tbe truth comes to
light.
If Minister Conger’s statements
are true, aud there is no reasou for
doubting them, the imperial gov
ernment has leeu all the while
back of the outrages.
In a cablegram Mr. Cougar is
reported as saying:

Of all the dead whose obse
quies we have paused to solemuize
iu this chamber 1 recall noue
whose untimely fate seems so la
mentable aud yet so rich iu propb
ecy of eternal life as that of Sen-
.ator Hill. He had reached tbb
meridian of bis years. He stood
upou the high plateau of middle
life, in that sereue atmosphere
where temptation no longer as
sails, where tbe clamorous passious
more distract, and where the
conditions are most favorable for
noble aud enduring achievement
His upward path had beeu through
stormy adversity and contention
such as infrequently falls to the
lot of men. Though not without
tbe tendency to meditation,reverie
aud introspection which accompa
nies genius, his temperament was
palestric. He was competitive
aDd unpeaceful. He was born a
polemic and controverBalist, intel
lectually pugnacious and combat
ive, so that be was impelled to de
fend any position that might be
assailed or to attack any position
that might be intrenched, not be
cause the defense or assault were
essential, but because tbe positions
were maintained and that those
who held them became by that
fact alone bis adversaries. This
tendency of bis nature made his
orbit erratic. He was meteoric
rather than planetary, aud flashed
with irregular splendor rather
than ehoue with penetrating rays,
His advocacy of any catire was
fearless to tbe verge of temerity
He appeared to be Indifferent to
applause or censure for tbetr own
sake. He accepted intrepidly
any conclusion that ha reached
without inquiring whether they
were politic or expedient,
“But iu the maturity of his
powers and fame, with unmeas
ured opportunities for achieve
ment apparently belore him, with
great designs unaccomplished,
surrounded by the proud aud af
fectionate solicitude of a great
coDstiiiency, tbe pallid messeuge
with the inverted torch beetcoued
him to depart. There are fe
scenes in history more tragic than
that pi otracted com bat with death
No man had greater inducements
to live But in the long struggle
against the inexorable advances
of au insidious and mortal malady
he did not falter nor repine. He
retreated with the aspect of a
tor and, though be succumbed, be
seemed to conquer. His sun went
down at noon, but it sank amid
tbe prophetic splendor of au eter<
u&l dawn.
“With more tbao a hero’s cour
age, with more than a to arty
fortitude, he waited tbe approach
of the inevitable hour aud went—
to the undiscovered country.”
The list of the awards of Amer
icau exhibitors at the Pans expo
sition has been made public.
The United States, in all, se
cored 1,081 awards. Of these 220
were graud prizes, 486 gold med
als, 583 silver medals, 422 bronze
medals, 170 honorable mentions,
and a long list of gold, silver and
bronze medals for colaborators.
Such is tbe record achieved by
Americans as announced to-day
by tbe French officials. Every
line of industry aud art and skill
is given recognition. American
farm products. American mines
and lorestry receive grand prizes
and gold medals, and American
cottons, woollens and silks are
given the same consideration as
are American harvesting roaebiu
ery, sewing machinery, printing
presses, liberal arts and transpor
tation, while silverware, jewelry,
art and education 'are placed in
the front.

This statement will doubtless
be corroborated by tbe other min
isters. In the mean time the
Dowager Empress and the Empe
ror have, it is said, fled from Pe
kin. No wonder they fled. Their
hands were red with the blood of
thousands, and but for the heroic
defense of tbe legations by a few
brave soldiers, every foreign min
ister would have been slaughtered
There cau be no longer the claim
that the Boxers were responsible,
and that the government tried to
hold them iu check

Discussing tbe Chinese situa
tion the Augusta Chronicle says:
“Tbe powers will uot imme
diately after rescuing their mil
inter from assassination withdra
theii forces aud leave their min
leters to tbe chance of a secoud
uprising. Will they withdraw
tbe ministers altogether and
leave China to come tu her senses
and ask the return of the lega
tions, or will they by force of
arms police the Chinese capital
with allied troops aud undertake
tbe work of giving China
stable government” as the phrase
goes? If tbe latter course shall be
pursued, will it be assumed that
the haudful of meu who formed
the allied advance on Pekiu are
enough for an army of occupa
tiou?
“if new troops are to be hurried
to Cbiua by the powers, to police
the country and restore a stable
government, w»U the United
States engage m this work of
benevolent assimilation in China
in addition to what we have on
baud already in tbe Philippines
and elsewhere?
“Reachiug Pekin was an im
portant matter, but it was only
the beginning. Wbat will be tbe
future steps in the controversy,
aud wbat part will tbe Uoited
States iake?”
Tbe complaints are general
here about the heat, but the fol
lowing from yesterday’s News
will show that we are better off
than they have beeu in Savannah:
“The record of high tempera
tures for August for thirty years
was broken yesterday ( when at
2:30 o’clock mercury reached the
hitherto unreached height of 102
degrees.
“Never before since tbe estab
lishment of tbe weather burean
has such a temperature been re
corded in Angnst and only four
times has it reached even so high
a mark as 100 degrees. Of these
four the first was on Ang. 20,
1679, and the others on Aug 5, 6
and 7 of last year.
“In tbe record for the entire
thirty years yesterday’s tempera
tore has been exceeded but twice:
July 11 aud 12, 1879, when the
maximum temperature was 103
and 105 respectively. Only five
times in tbe same length of time
has it been equalled, each time In
