Mr. Turpie will quit t>c Senate with a clean record, just as he ens tered it, owing othing to corporate influences.

The Springfield Republican has been paying especial attention to the trust evil, prints a statement showing that last year's catalogue of trust monopolies or anized and in operation was made ap of 172 corporations, with .an aggregate capitalization of $2,980,000,000. — The progress, of consolidation has been even more rapid ths pastyear than previously, and it may be safely estimated that now $3,500,000,000 of our industrial capital is subject to this monopoly form of operation. As the census of 1890 gave ths whole amount of industrial capital employed in the United States as $6,525,000,000, it would appear that about one-half of the capital of the countiy engaged in pzoducfion has been organized into trusts and monopolies. When a trust is formed, what is jts first avowed object? To cheapen the cost of production. Who are the ones to suffer fiom this cheapening process? ThelaborersAnother avowed object of the trusts is to control the output and regulate prices. Who suffer from this ? The independent manufacturer and the consumer. Hardly a day passes but news of the organization of a trust is printed. And these gigigantic trade combines are made possib e by legislation for which the Republican party is solely responsible. No one can read the history of enactments mado m the interests of the sugar t ust, th,e steel trust, the whiskey trust and o.her great combines of capitul without being convinced that the trust evil has been systematically strengthened by Republican legislative co operation. Fostering these combine), the Republican party strikes a blow atßevery wage earner and consumer in the country A nd yet there are wage earners who will vote for the supremacy of a pai ty controlled by the Hannas, the Carnegies, the Rockefellers, the Lukenses, and all the managers of the great monopolies in this coun*> try.
