Crawfordsville Review, Crawfordsville, Montgomery County, 25 March 1899 — Page 4

The Review.

"THE remedy for trusts is ill the legislatures of the various states," tsays Senator Chandler. "To prohibit •combinations of business of the same kind, when such combinations would be injurious to the public good, all that would Ixs necessary would be for the state legislature to tax them. Tax their capital stock, tax their bonds and alxrve all tax their franchises. If such a course were adopted trusts could not exist. 1 do not mean to tax them unfairly. With a reasonable tax properly levied they would -oon cease to exist."

Sound doctrine surely—the doctrine advocated by the democratic party from the time when these combinations began to assume colossal proportions. It has repeatedly asked for stringent legislation on the subject. And now the .Senator finds that if the trusts are not a good thing their restriction is just as easy—well, as easy as talking. But what a delightful shifting of responsibility have we here? What is the reason congress cannot take some action in the way of national legislation, rather than delegate the task to the state legislature which would grapple with the multiplicity of details only to make "confusion worse confounded.'' Senator Chandler would have us infer that trusts are local affairs and in significant at most. The significance of these insignificant things is impressing itself upon the people more and more every day. and no matter what, party leaders may say. when the mass of the people demand th» settlement of the

it will be set

tied upon practical lines, and that which is in the way will be moved even if it be interests and combination of interests piled mountain high. If the settlement is so easy as Senator •Chandler intimates we cannot but wonder why the great party to whicl he belongs has not dealt with the question long since, as every opportunity to do so has been within it grasp. It is not a trivial issue, but one of the greatest with which our government has to deal, touching as it does the vital interests of every .man from the highest to the lowest who is a citizen of this country. A1 ready in the minds of the people it is written: "The trusts must go."

FOR more than two years the Republican press has stoutly maintained that the silver issue is dead. The ground has been fought over again and again, and in happy self gratulatiou Republican editors have through their columns cried, one to another, •'Lo, brother, we have slain the enemy. Silver is dead!" And the answer has come again and again. "Yea verily is the demon slain and buried forever'." So they have whistled through this pseudo graveyard, keeping up their courage lest the corpse should rise from the tomb. And now borne upon the Nebraskan breeze comes the voice of .1. Sterling Morton piping a different strain. "The danger to the cause of 'sound' money." writes the ex-Sec-retary. "lies in the apathy of its friends. The free silver men art.- always active, always working. Bryan is on the stump every day. and 'Coin'

Harvey is having great success, apparently in raising a campaign fund It is evident that there is a great deal of the free silver policy abroaiL in the country. We have the money question to fight all over again next year." The promised prosperity so conspicuously absent the formation of innumerable trusts and the scarcity of work and money among the laboring classes might bring to life a deader issue than even they had supposed silver to be. These confident slayers of political dragons may be troubled by many "thick coming fancies" before the election of November. V.IOO. and the phantom of the lead white metal may not be the least of them.

BLAND,

in response to an

inquiry sent by the Hartford Herald, as to what is the current political issue, says that it will be the money question. The issue of 1900 will be the same as 18%. The party will without doubt re-nominateMr. Bryan, and on a readoption of the Chicago platform, especially that portion of it emphasizing the 1(5 to 1 issue. With such an announcement on the part of the Democracy all other issues will be thrown aside. He says that there is greater need just now for a broader basis of money than ever before. The national debt has been largely increased by the Ijond issues of Cleveland and McKinley, and the system of taxation has Income enormous and burdensome. The Republican party has made extravagant appropriations, which will exact millions from the already overburdened people in the way of taxes. The colonization schemes of McKinley which mean military rule and consequent expense are to be considered. The burdens now heaped so high upon the backs of the people will require an immense amount of money. The policy now is to increase expenses, raise taxation, and at the same time contract the currency. More money and less taxation is what the people want, anil 10 to 1 will lxi the war erv ajrain in l'.XX).

SENATOK-KLECT BKVEKIDOE

has start

ed for the Orient. He will sail through the Suez canal and visit the Flowery Kingdom and the Philippines. He says he is going for pleasure and rest as he feels btclly in need of the latter. From this the ordinary citizen may judge how very very exhausting it is to deliver after-dinner speeches of the purple adjective variety. The strange silence maintained by the senator-elect for the past week or so is now explained. The rainbow Ijeauty has faded from his vocabulary and he is now going east to soak it in Tyrian purple and Oriental splendor preparatory to entrance upon the onerous duties of his high office. The government printers may, from this notice, learn that it will lie well to lay in a supply of ink of tinprimary colors.

THK president of Bolivia is having trouble with rebels—one of those periodical outbreaks which the Latin states dignify by the name of "revolution." No people in whose veins run a strain of Spanish blood has ever been able to form a state government. No high state of

a

civilization

will ever be attained by a people in a state of political and social turmoil such as exists! among these Latin races. Some outside influence must be brought to bear on them to give them stability and direct their progress.

THE Attica Ledger optimistically observes, in speaking of John Sherman that "the indications are tnat the grand old man has many years to live a life of usefulness." It is only a few months since there was a general impression abroad that Sherman's usefulness as a statesman was not up to par, and in fact that charge has been made for a good many years by a large number of people.

Death of John Dewey.

The death of John Dewey occurred on Tuesday night at his home in New Richmond. He was lorn near White River, Indiana, Oct. 6, 1822. He was married in 1848 to Miss Sarah Gammon, who died in 1850. leaving him with one son, James. He was again married in 1851 to a sister of his first wife, Miss Catharine Gammon. Six children were born to this marriage, Frank, Joseph, Scott, Howard, William and Mrs. Charles Zook. He had been a consistent member of the Christian church for seven years. He was known as an upright and reliable man, and such a course throughout life won for him a very large number of warm friends. The funeral services will be conducted at the New Richmond Christian church .at eleven o'clock this morning.
