It has been repeatedly said that if we restore the power to be money to silver that our fold won!.! leave the country. I nder a paper currency would not. by the same line of reasoning, both metals

It frequently happeaa that a mun alio is hunting fur somettiing will uv. rloA the desired article when it i nartar h. rery aoBa, Thia it traa af most ol the debgutes to the untitrust eoufireiice who are looking for u method of curbing the trusts. Nearly every delegate has a plan of his HI aaora Off less complicated und impra. I U able but it has rttaaJaed for Mr. Frtah B. hlatsaatt, lata tttoraaj general of Ohio, ami Mr. William.- i
MussuehuseiU. to poini om mi- o.o.ous reoiedy for trust app.c.-ion. Messrs. Mound t and W illiame upgest no iicv legislation, no constit ut io.ial mendmcuts, no commissions other quasi-executive bodies to deal with the matter. 1 hey point out that the remedy already BtJata. lit only necessity is to utilize it. hat to say. Mr. Monnett declares that the .Sherman law, if enforced, will reach the trusts. Mr. Williams adds the Corollary statement thut the peo
ple can have ihe Sherman luw enforced by electing ollicers who will enforce it. Neither statement can successfully be controverted. The trusts now flourish unchecked not because there is no law which will nach them, but because the laws already on the statute books are not anforoed by Iha president of the United States Bad Ida attorney gen
eral. Those ollicers nullify IheMicrman law. liny would nullify any similar lepi.-lation that mipbt be enacted. The fault is not With the law. but with the ofticera who refuse to enforce it- who bag the qaeatioB by declaring that it ean1 be enforced. The president, tkroagh his attorney general, has paralyzed the enerpiea of every I nited Si ales district attorney in the country . A.nonp those ollicers are no doubt many men like Mr. S. B. I'.etheu active, ambitious and desirous of enforcing the federal statutes. But no matter hOW energetic they may be they dare not attempt to attack the trusts bv means of the Sherman law,
because Mr. dripgs. usurpinp the func
tions of the I nited States supreme
court, has repeal edly declared that the
Sherman aw dors not apply to me
trusts and that it is, therefore, Usc
hs to proceed under its provisions
No district attorney will risk the dis
pleasure of his superior onicer by instituting Sherman law prosecutions in
the face of such a deliverance, lilt
trusts are protected from prosecution bv the nresident and the attorney pen-
eral. The obvious remedy is to elect a president who will enforce the laws instead of nullifying them. The administration can make no defense for its attitude. It stands between the trusis and the law. Even if it be conceded that the Sherman law might be held invalid by the courts what excuse can the administration make for denying those tribunals the
opportunity of passing upon it. ine president's position is that of a state's attorney who should turn all the mur
derers out of the county jail and answer public protests by the declaration that the statute against murder couldn't lie enforced and thai ha wasn't going la try to enforce it. It is a nullification of the law of the land and an invasion of the ripht of the judiciary to construe the latutes. Nothing else can lie made of it. The president and bki party protect the trusts. Nay. they punish republican officers who prosecute the trusts, as Mr. Monnett himself can testify, havinp been denied a n nomination by Mr. Hanna because hfl dared to institute and maintain a prOoecutiOB against
the Standard Oil combination -on-trary Ul the erlabet and instructions of the republican boss of Ohio. If the people of this country wish to get rid of thetrmtta they must first get rid of Hanna. McKinley andtiripps. who nre owned, batty, bonis and

Never baa the I n.t.d State witnessed Btth a campaign for the nfftt MtattJ as that now impeudinp promises to be. There has in the past been debauchery of the franchise, corruption of the people's ballot, but not on any such st ale of magnitude us is now being prepared for the coining election. lu order u promote republican suocesr. a campaign fund of $Jj,GOO,lnO is to ht raised, aud how? By the con
tributions of the rank and nie oi republicans throuphout the nation? By the voluntury ttTarltgl of those theorists who see in rcp..iiiic:in doctrine, the ssence of political wisdom? Not at all. It aril b coll.'Cted from the trust beneficiaries oV the McKinley administration. iwo hundred CombiaatlOM of capital, representing 2,OOO,U00,G0O, will contribute the money. Mark llanna recently ciue out in an interview absolving trust, from blame. They are doing no harm and "should be let alone,'' he aaid. Soon followed the auuouneeme.it of
the iriL'antie fund to lc raisU to
further McKiulcy'B candidacy. The
trusts will be "let alone so lar as ,. fl -lation bv conpress and prosecu
tion under the law by McKinleys at-
tornev ircneral Co. but hey will not
be "let alone" by the illustrioua Cleve-
landcr until they have contriouiea
their pro rata of the corruption fund.
Think of what such a sum meau-
wh. ii Improperly used. It cannot bo
honestly Utilised. Such an amount la
many times more than the most ex(nmul manacer of an honest eam-
paipu to : Id spend, it is an amount of
money which, il uivuien among .a.uw,-
(i o , pi.- the pop'....: ion approx
imately of this country, wouiu gno each ..'i 1- e. nts. The usual reckoning is that tat in live of the population is a voter. Iben this llanna eaaapabra fund is great enough to allow each voter more than $1.65. Twice this amouut. I.?0. would be available for eaeh oi the necessary votes to gair- a popular majority, lfut the money will not be spent that way. It will b put in large sums in the" doubtful and close atates. These will lie purchased outright. If the monev was to be expended pro rata in the country the McKinley managers in Denver might reasonably expect a contribution exceeding $5".,0OO from the national committee. In addition to the corrupt might of
this immense sam. there trtU ue an
other element in the campaign even more reprehensible. It is the pocy of forte and intimidation, employed quite largely in 1 ' and to be perfected in its workings this year. The $2.000.000.000 of capital, represented in the campaipn fund, will also contribute to republican success by compellinp the hundreds of thousands of nu n dependent ujon them to support the McKinley ticket. rvcmrw-riiiie success may not be tm-
p.rssible in spite of all the money the trusts can throw into the campuipu. if enlv tht teat is free and fair. Hut if in the large manufacturing- centers of the close atatea intimidation of the voters is employed successfully, there a 1 . lsnt nt rf'ili It of the cam-
