FALLACY

ire Ctapss.
We occupy the position that the term
“cheap,” as implied by pretending to
offer any article of goods for less than
its real value is, to deal mildly, mis
leading upon its face, and should be
shunned by sensible, thinking people.
"No shoddy” is our motto for all the
term implies.
To those expecting something for
nothing we cannot supply your wants;
on the other hand, If you desire full
value for your money you are the class
of custom we are hustling for.

warranted, "no shoddy,” $3.80.

District Attorney Vaughan, chairman
of the state republican committee,
from his federal office by President

IN MEMORY OF M’KINLEY
Churches Throughout the Country
Hold Special and Appropriate
Anniversary Services.
Judge William R. Day delivered the
chief McKinley memorial day adflross
at Canton, Ohio, Sunday, in the First
Methodist Episcopal church, of which
the late president was a member, and
in which the funeral wa6 held Septem
ber 19, 1901.
In addition to the tribute paid by
Judge Day, who was secretary of
state in the McKinley cabinet,, and a
close friend and adviser to the mar
tyred president, there was a general
observance of the day in Canton,
which claimed him as its own. From
almost every pulpit there was refer
ence in prayer or in address to him
and his work. His favorite hymns
were sung.
Although deeply conscious of the
fact that it was just one year ago that
her husband died, Mrs. McKinley did
not vary the programme followed by
her for several months. Her usual
trip to Westlawn cemetery was taken
in the forenoon and she laid flowers on
the casket that contains the remains
of the nation’s martyred chief. Mrs.
Garret A. Hobart, who is her guest,
went with her into tho McKinley tomb
and also laid a boquet of flowers on
the coffin.
The afternoon and evening were
spent at the McKinley home. During
the day there were many visitors at
the McKinley vault.
Appropriate services were also held
in Buffalo, Cincinnati, New York and
Nj|kago.
special programs in
many including musical
tor tyred president.
The principal speaker at one of the
Chicago churches was Bishop Fallow,
who spoke in part as follows:
"The anarchy which knows
ernment, and destroys rather
lifts, was responsible for the death
President McKinley. We also have an
anarchism of wealth, which is used
not for the welfare of mankind, but
for its injury and oppression. The
way to suppress anarchy is to keep in
mind the sentiments of President Mc-
Kinley and practice reciprocity at
home first, and then abroad. Let there
be reciprocity between capital and la
bor and a recognition of mutual rights.
Let rights be given to employes as
American citizens. What a spectacle
is made when in a conflict between
capital and labor, men say: ‘There is
nothing to arbitrate.’ Such action is
akin to lawlessness. If we carry out
President McKinley’s idea of Chris
tion reciprocity, however, all will hj m
well.”

Burning Gusher at Beaumont Goes
Out of Its Own Accord.
The burning gusher at Beaumont,

There was a big excursion Sunday to

BIG MONfcY COMBINE
Now Grasps the Country and
Threatens to Make Trouble.
FOUR CLIQUES ARE IN CONTROL
All of These are Centered in New
York City—Only the United
• States Treasury Stands in
the Way.
A New York special says: The ap
pearance of the Morse syndicated
banks of the American metropolis are
practically under the control of four
cliques, which absolutely dominate the
money markets of this country. They
are:
1. Rockefeller-Stiilman group, four
teen banks and trust companies, with
$60,000,000 capital, as much more
surplus and about $240,000,000 of de
posits.
2. The Morgan group, including the
Chase ar.d Flist National and Bank ol
Commerce and associated banks, with
$50,000,000 capital, and an equal
amount of surplus and $180,000,006
deposits.
3. The Morton-Whitney group, head
ed by the Morton Trust Company,
with its $4,000,000 capital and surplus
and $30,000,000’ deposits and half as
sociated banks aggregating $100,000,-
000 deposits.
4. The Morse group, headed by
Charles Morse, the largest individual
holder of bank stock in New Y’ork,
comprising sixteen banks and trust
companies, with a combined capital
of $100,000,000 and aggregate deposits
of $100,000,000.
These four great pools, syndicates
or trusts, can and do make the bop
rowing rate for money exactly what
nhey chooae. They can lock up the
iHjtoey or flood the street with it, as
and thus assist a boom.or
cause a bear panic. The United
States treasury alone stands between
combined and
the great mass of the
country who do nofflßWethe ears and
help of their directors.
Combined, as they are certain to be
ultimately, they will dictate to the civ
ilized world. ,

EXTRA session imperative.
Pennsylvania People’s Alliance Er-
Lighten Governor Stone as to
How to Settle Strike.
A special from Harrisburg, Pa.,
says: The conference committee of
the People's alliance, appointed at
their cohvcntion at' Hazloton a week
ago, appeared before governor Stone
Thursday afternoon and submitted a
plan for effecting a settlement of the
anthracite strike.
Their plan consists’ of calling an
extra session of the legislature to en
act laws for compulsory arbitration,
bettor control of foreign corporations
doing business in Pennsylvania, and
enforcing the sixteenth and seven
teenth articles of the constitution.
Daniel J. McCarthy, of Hazleton,
said the alliance repiesented the busi
ness people of the hard coal districts,
and that its purpose was to secure a
settlement of the strike. There was
no sign of a settlement, and the only
hope of bringing about an end to the
strike was an extra session of the leg
islature for the enactment of legisla
’ion that will end the present strike
and prevent strikes in the future.
Mr. McCarthy suggested that if an
extra session is held some action
should be taken to curb the great for
eign corporations which are doing bus
iness in Pennsylvania. He named the
beef trust, the steel trust and other
large corporations because of the al
leged high prices which they charged
for their products. Mr. McCarthy fur-
ther said:
“President Baer, of the Philadelphia
ard Reading eompany, is the creature
of J. Pierpont Morgan and the latter
should be forced to arbitrate the
strike. A load of coal cannot be
bought in the coal region at present
from any of the large coal corpora
tions at any price. If the legislation is
enacted, which the alliance recom
mends, it will bring the strike to an
end and prevent strikes in the future.”
Mr. McCarthy argued that the pres
ent difficulty in the coal region comes
through the gross mismanagement of
the great coal corporations. None of
them, he said, pay a dividend, while
the individual operators are all making
money and lotting rich. Relief can
be granted, he continued, by legisla
tion
T. C. Parker, of Wllkesbarre, said
the conditions in the antracite regions
are horrible in a commercial way and
hundreds of people are being forced
to leave that locality because of unfort
unate conditions. The best residents
are going away, leaving the region
with a remnant of undesirable people.
The only remedy, he said, is an ex
tra session of the legislature for the
enactment of laws that will settle the
trouble to th e satisfaction of all con
cerned.

“Almost forty years have passed
into history since our race was eman

help.
“The north arid the south have
helped us. and many men and women
of tho race have made good use of
their opportunities as a whole, 1 think
it would be conceded by all impartial
judges that we have done well. I
warn you that the hardest battles are
yet ahead of us and are to be met
firmly and courageously by you who
arc the leaders of our people. The
day of these would-be leaders who
have gained their influence and
standing by unscrupulous methods is
at an end. We live in the midst of
another people stronger than we are,
and wc are going to remain here, for
this is our home and here we Intend
to stay until called to heaven. Let us
live here in peace.
