Sept. lu. IstHI. Senator lleveride is drawing larjje crowds in the northwest. He is recognized as one of our national orators. We print herewith his Nebraska speech which createtl a sensation iu I Jr van's bailiwick. Mr. Iryan is tijihtiti; for Xebniska with tlesperation because he hopes by electing a IVmocratic legislature in that state he will te able to secure a seat in the Unittnl States senate after his defeat for the Presidency. The Colorado roughs who attacked Thetxlore Koox'velt were careful to keep in bunches. The rovernor is a muscular politician, and it would have bt."ea mere amusement for him to have wiped the earth with those fel lows siajjly. E. C. Henedict. li rover Cleveland's close personal and political friend was recently asked to contribute to the Democratic campaign fund. He wrote a reply in which be stated that he had been "an earnest disciple of Democratic principles the past fortyfive years," and adds: "I regret to find no party in existence whose platform supports them to any degree. Four years &iSO our state sent delegates to the Chicago convention as representatives of unquestioned Democratic principles. They were outvoted in the national convention which promulgated a platform of doctrines almost wholly at variance therewith and committed an unpardonable crime when thev lised our good name as a label

Therefore I would as soon thick of contributing to a lot of Chinese who

havecaptured our Christian churches set up therein the teathintrs of Con fucius as the gospel and a painfully conspicuous Joss to worship instead of tne unseen dod, and without changing the names of the churches call themselves regular Christians.' If there are any persons in this com munity who yet believe that Bryan is honest bow do they accoun t for t he fact that in giving a list of trusts the other day at St. Louis he carefully omitted two of the most triuntiv trusts in the country, the ice trust of New York and the cotton compress trust of the south? The one is headed by I loss Croker, the Democratic motful of New York, and the other by Senator J. K. Jones, chairman of the Democratic national committee. The former absolutely controls the whole ice business of Greater New York It increased the cost of ice to the consumer more than one hundred per cent, and caused untold suffering among the poor of that city during the heated term. The Jones cotton press trust, with a capital of $7,000,' MM), controls the'entire cotton gin ning business of the south. Ihe combination is called the American Cotton comiany. So great are its profits that in the short time it has been in existence Senator Jones is said to have risen from the estate of a comparatively puor man until he is now regarded as a millionaire. Ami the southern manufacturers continue to swell the bank account of the Democratic campaign manager. Docs any intelligent man believe that Bryan omitted these octopuses by accident when he pretended to give a list of the trusts in this coun try. The Tanner meeting last night was another evidence that the Republic ans of this locality are wide awake In spite of unfavorable conditions, including bad weather and several attractions at other places in the city, the rink was filled with an audi enee tkat any speaker might have been proud to face. And there was no disapjiointment. To thecontrary there was immense enthusiasm. The old soldiers present and there were lots of them were esjiecially delighted with Mr. Tanner's eloquent eulogies of American patriotism, of which be himself is the very emt)odiment.

This morning in the sujerintendent's rKm at police court there was a troubled man. He walked the tloor and looked down at the figures on the linoleum as if thev were a pano rama. He had a black mustache and an olive complexion, and looked worried. Anon he would look furtively at Fred to see if there was any con solation to be found anywhere. Hut none came. The man had troubles that were distinctly his own, and be told them rapidly and fr. ely to whom ever came his way. He had been in the city yesterday, having come from 1 lagers town to attend to some business. He drove hither. Late in the afternoon, according to his story (though he was evi dently badly befuddled bv some outside influence that he had put inside), he had started for home. He found the wrong pike. He was uot lost, but Hagerstown was and he was utterly unable to find a trace of it. He searched and searched everywhere in the vicinity of Rich mond, but it was not to be found At last (as he says, about t! o'clock) he went to a livery stable to put up his horse. He was directed to a hotel and after some ditticultv in locating himself he got to a comfortable hos telry. This morning he got up and wanted to start home. The principal difficulty was that he could not find his horse anyweere. He couldn't even find the livery stable he put it in. There will perhaps be a great demand on the part of persons seeking utter oblivion and forgetfulness of worldly troubles, for the name of the place where the bewildered man got his last dose of liquid mystitier. He should have trained awhile on Cambridge broom liquor before tack ling Richmond. MY. Bryan Baa one epeeefc tr neraoerata. another for the Fopa1 1 a and a third one for the free llvrr advoeatea.

WHAT !S A TRUST?

Senator Beveridge Asks and Answers the Question. SOME FAMILIAR EXAMPLES Text of the Indiana Senator's Notabie Address In Nebraska. A Plain Talk la Which Familiar Illustrations of What the Term "Trust" Implies Are Given In a Manner to Carry ConvictionBryan's False Position Clearly Exposed ' by the Indiana Senator's Direct Presenta tion of the Issue A Practical Talk to the Farmers of Bryan's State. Hon. Albert J. Jrteveridpe, United States senator from Indiana, ad dressed a larjjt. audience on the politi cal issues of the day at Columbus, Neb., on the occasion of the Nebraska Republican state rally. Senator Iteveridsre confined his address to the subject of "Trusts." He said Ladies ml t;-n tit-men: Mr. llryan owns a farm. I know this, lecaiiso I hare read it in the newspapers. I know it, ttecause have seen photographs of Mr. Bryan on ids farm. I am not a farmer now, but I was a fanner once. And when I wan a farmer I worked at the bus! ness. The difference between a farmer who works at the profession and the farmer who enly works at the name. Is just the difference tn'tween a man end his photograph. So I think I can ALISKUT J. 15K EKIIm;E. talk to the farmers with more authority than Mr. ISryan. And as he talks to them hI Mint trusts, I also will talk to them alMint trusts. What is a trust? It is a great combination of capital, designed to simplify and unify business, or a great combination of lalxr. designed to simplify and unify industry. It is easy to see, therefore, that there can lie good trusts and bad trusts, just as there can lx j;ood men a mt bail men. JK tnist l a pool trnnt when It performs the work for which it has lieen organized, and produces lietter goods at eheaier prices and de livers them to the consumer more con veniently than a dozen different con certis could do. The consumer is thf sovereign factor in civilization. The wclMieiuK of the masses is the result of every industrial development that endures. A trust is a bad trust when it raises prices dishonestly and with out other reason than to satisfy the greed of Its managers. A man Is bud man when he steals; and when ho does that he ought to !x put In jail A trust is a bad trust when It dis honestly raises prices; and when it does that it ought to Im restrained or put out of existence. I?ut because one man steals is no reason why all men should lie put In jail; and tecause tne trust is dishonest is no reason why all trusts should lie destroyed. Mr. r.ryan is in favor of destroying all combinations of capital. We are in favor of destroying only such combi nations of capital as oppress the people, jtist as you are in favor of putting in jail only such men as commit larceny or murder or arson. A Trust Operated by Kvery Farmer, lA't me give the farmers a perfect illustration of a trust that every farm er in this country operates himself. That trust is the self-binding harvest er. I got the job of driving the first self-bindin harvester that, was sent to central Illinois by the MeCormieks. ii was an oui - wire-omuer. It was a trust. It was the only trust I have ever had anything to do with. It did what several different machines and implements were required to do before. It enabled the farmer himself to harvest and market his grain at a much less cost than he was able to do before. The first season the self binding harvester appeared in central Illinois the same arguments were ad vaneed against it that are now ad vaneed against trusts. It was said that It threw labor out of employment. It was said it would result In each farmer In-coming a sort of lndejendent landed gentry like the great landlords of Kngland. and that he would not n-od any help from the day laNirers whom he had theretofore hired to do his harvesting. There were even tslks of mobs to burn np the self-binders. I?ut men who thought they were thrown out of employment by it. found that they were not: but that there were other employments, eitsicr employment and better paid employments in other directions than all the hard work that harvesting by hand afforded them; that the uew conditions createtl by this very self-hinder furnished them other and t tetter employment. Every labor-saving machine is a mechanical trust, and yet more laboring men are employed today, and at higher wages and with sliorter hours than ever before in human history.

Better Sducts at cltt-ai-er prices to the n.ner 's the only justification for p1- If the farmers were able to f'li the price t f grain dishonestly aifriH increase their profits, that Mpd be wrong, ami it ought to ! jrented. Just so when a trust is a!TO dishonestly force up the prijf'f it product, that is wrong and '-ht to tie preented. And that is fiat the RemiMlean itartv nrooosi s Io. P.ut becaise the self-binding hafster increasi the fanner's profit bjnahling him to produce cheaper gri- no reason why the self-binderi)iht t le burned. At.-d just so. thct that trusts cause cheater itrodfcion of products Is no reason why th' should be destroyed. The Kcimhlii idea is regulation and nuuishment. e Bryan idea is simply dcstructioij If Mr. Bryan will work more on if farm at driving his self -hinder, he 111 lietter understand the first tuiii.-ils of the trust question. Practical Itemed j For Trt Krils. There Is only one JMissif way of regulating trusts. That wis by the congress of the republic lintrolling corporations. This is one c.pitry now We have outgrown state ris. There Is no reason why a corpor.-aon organ ized in New Jersey should ve great r privileges than one oijinized in Nebraska. A trust, to sueced. must do business all over the Cotiury. Therefore, it omrht to lie contjilh-d. not by a state government, but ?y the nation's government. It is theold strujj gle let ween the nation and stite rights, The constitution does not permit that at present. Ihe Kepublhanparty pro poses to amend the constitution so that the national government nay eontrt trusts. The Icniocratic ptvty voted solidly against that proposition. WhyV Because the I K-mociHtie party was more in favor of trusts thai the Re publican parly? No! Both parties arc equally against the evils of B usts. But the Democrats opfMised that measure which alone can cure tlip evils of trusts. lM-caitsc it is a Ecpubhcan measure, and they would j not ier mit it to pass as a llepnlilian meas ure without protest. The point is that the Republican party liave promised the onlv possible reined v. and are pledged to its execution. A Trust No One Will SSee leatroyetl. Is Mr. Bryan in favor of destroyin il department store? Is there a worn.-:: in the t'nited States who will refuse to trade with the department stores If not, whv not? Because before the department store came she had to buy one thing in tine little shop and anotht thing in another little shop, and all of iMtorcr quality and higher price whereas now she buys everything un der tine roof, at a cheaper price and of better quality and has it quickly de livered. Under the old system, statl tics show that more than J-iO jier cent of the small stores failed. And all o them had to sell poorer goods at profits, and even then they failed whereas the department store sells at a lower price better goods in more convenient form, and the small dealt who In-fore was waging a daily Strug gle with bankruptcy and failing in the end. Is now the wellpaid and prosper ous head of a department of that great center of distribution for the masses, culled the department store. And yet that department store has not destroy J the small 'dealer who succeeded Ik1 fore. That small dealer still exists and flourishes more than ever. The shop devoted to specialties and where high individual skill is required are more prosperous now than ever. The di1 partment store really furnishes th siiecialist his opportunity. It also af fords the neighborhood store its oi portunity. And so we find specialists shops and ncighltorhotid stores more plentiful anil prosperous todav than ever In-fore. They do the small and immediate business just as small change docs the small and immediati business required of money. Because we have ten. twenty, and fifty dollar bills is no reason why we should dis jH-nse with the dollar, the quarter. tldime and the nickel. Each have their spheres of usefulness. And just so the trust and the small dealer, the department store, the specialist and the nelghlxirhood store have their respect ive spheres of usefulness. And the de partment store takes the place only of the stores which failed liefore and were constantly upsetting business. If Mr. Bryan is logical, he is in favor of destroying the department store, be cause the department store is a trust in its simplest and most familiar form llryan Favors Trusts. Mr. Bryan is in favor of trusts as much as any man in the United States. ite admits it himself, i-or he says that he is a great champion of la 1 tor organization. So am I. The latntrius organizations of my state supintrted me for the senate: and whe they did it. they knew just where 1 stood on every question then ln-fore the people. I am. ami have been since I was a boy, in favor of lalior organization. It is the only way Ialmr has of asserting Its equal rights with the organizations of capital, and in so doing is a public bent-fit. for the well-lieinsrof labor is of vital concern to the well-ln-ing of tht? entire nation. It benefits labor in num berless ways. Over and over asrain Mr. Bryan has said that these organi zations are a great blessing. And yet labor orgsi niza tion is inertly a form of trust. It is a labor trust, and is a good thing. But even labor trust sometimes tktes wrong. Wh it deies, it loses the sympathy of tl great mass of our people: and it ocftht to be re sisted. Just so. the trusts of capital ofti n .do wrong. When they do. they vught to be punished. But because labor trusts are sometimes in the wrong is no reason why they should be lestroyetL What both need when thev do wrong Is resrraint and correction. Bnt what Mr. Bryan proposes is destruction: and if he Is lojcal. he must destroy the trust of Iatr as well as the trust of capital. A Simpler Kxataple. Let me give you another and simpler example of the trust. There is in this country a great railway system called the "Big Four railroad." A great deal of it is in the state of Indiana, and most of it i In that state and in the tate -f Ohio. I remetul-e-r the time when the railroads that formed what Is now the Big Four ra3rwad system were little, short, separate lines. The

iiables : and

It

service tu eat tt tnese imcs was pixir. The cars w ere tsid. The tracks audi

rtad-lcd cre far from safe. The passenger vt im wanted to travel auy considerable distance had to get off the cars at one end of a line and get on ot'ter cars of another line, and the longer he traveled the more he hatl to do tliis. He had to iiy higher fare ami to buy many separate tickets. The employes of those varititis lines were less In uuuiIkt than they now are and were paid smaller wages. Frequently the lines went into the hands eif a re ceivers and the workiugmen had trouble in getting their wages at all. A great manager combined those lines into a system. What was the result? More trains, faster time, tn-tter cars, cheaper rates and through trains. You can get on one of that system's trains and. without change, go to distant ixtiuts which ln-fore required two or three ticke-ts. The system employs more men than the separate lines employed l1ftre the consolidation. The service is grcailj improved. The convenience to the passenger is uot a comparison, but a contrast with what it us-d to tn. Therefore, there is more traveling, more business. You are carried cheap er in palace cars: your grain is hauled at lower rales of freight, more safely and more speedily. And so it is that a great miracle is wrougiu: netter ser vice and cheafH-r rates to the put-lie on uoe IiaiHl, anil more employment ami higher wages to the employes on theother hand: at the same time more profit to the stockholders who own the road. I tare Mr. Bryan say tiat he would liave that system broken up into the little companies freim which It was formed? If he dares not, he has aban doned his position on the trust. Trusts and Young Men. Mr. Bryan declares that trusts pre vent young men from rising iu the business world. On the contrary, the ae-tive htsids of most of the-se eorioi"tious are young men who have risen without influence or any other aid than their own ability to their high imsitiou. The president of the Carnegie Steel company Is still a young man, and rose to his jiosition from a lny in the works. What the trust is looking for what auy combination of capital is looking feir is fresh and vigorous ability. Un less they get that, thev cannot sue-cet-d. I will venture this assertion that more than iC, per cent of tne active management of the great combinations eif capital of this country, and the ne tive management of each one of the de partments of these great combinations of capital, is in tin- hands of young men without wealth, influence or pisi tion, but whose worth and merit have lieen recognized by the directors these great concerns. If a trust does not have such ability nt its command constantly, it will break clown, lust as trusts often and for exactly tlds reason are breaking down. Keen, bold, dar ing minds will st-e that the trust is not managed with ability, and they will organize another trust which Is man aged with ability. A trust can only exist when each and every depart ment of it. to the smallest detail of its business, is conducted with mathe matical and machine-like accuracy And the chief demand in this country today is for tah-nti-tl. industrious, lion est and brave young men to aid thr mighty work which this industrial development of our civilization re--q nlres. As no woman who listens to miwould have the department store dis Ma.. thv lit 1 1. i neon veni -ti t. hi priced shops, selling poorer gnoils In a more incon venient way: as not man in this ropuHic would have any of our great ralln-ad lities. which were formetl out of n dozen small, poorly opera ft 1. high-priced, miserahly-cquip-ptsl, inconvenient lines, broken up in to those little roads again, just so not a man iu this country is against tin industrial development of a trust when it is honestly and righteously conducted. What we are all against is the dishonest operation of thosi trusts, just as we are all against th dishonest conduct of any man. But the sensible thing is not to destroy them: the sensible tiling is to remedy them. The right road is onward (ti ward government control, some think, and many developments are suggest ed: the right solution will certainly In found i, afid not backward toward tin day when the farmer reaped his grain with a scythe. Instead of with the self binding harvester: not backward t xne tiay wnen ne tnresiietl it with a flail. instead eif with a vibrating thresher; not backward to the day when the stage coach did the busi ness tif passenger transportation, in stead of the travel of the country leiug carried at a fraction of the price the stage coach charged, and in pal ace cars, with all the comforts and luxuries of this wonderful civilization i ne roan to me inn- solution is onward, and not backward, and the ele ments that are required in our states men in dealing with this tremendous problem of human society, this natur ai industrial development, is earnest thought, thorough study, fearless justice and moderation, instead of vielent and ignor.int assertion, inflamed prejudice and mad resolutions, not to remedy, but to destroy. Comir.on Sense and Justice, My friends, what we need is not sn much sweeping declaration one waj or the other against the trusts of labor or the trusts of capital. What we need is common sense and justice. Common sense-, in order that we may see what is just; and the spirit of jus-tie-e. in order to do what is just. On ins dying ln-d Richelieu, who createel France, was asked what was the se cret ef his power.

INCREASE OF IMPORTS American People Have More Money to Spend Than Formerly. Our fijijmrts for the year enl!nj June . !!.. amounted to .win., n.,r.t a sum crrater t neariy n . than the highest amount reached by our tmjmrts during any one nscai jear which had its iH'ginnilig during the hist free trade administration. Four years ago President McKinley said m the course of one of the speeches which he made to visiting delegations: Nor do 1 think that it is economy to buy gotnls cheaply abroad if it thereby enforces idleness at in une. Hie Imports of V.KKt do not come under the head of gotnls which, by lieing Imught abroad, have enforced idleness at home. There has Ik-cii no idleness at home since McKinlcy was elected and the policy of protection was re-established. The protective tariff has seen to it that foreign producers have not Iteon iermittod to sell their pauier made gtmtls in the American market at prices that would take the bread out of the mouths of American workmen. On the contrary, our Imptrts this year represent largely gtmtls which could not have Ix-cn duplicated at home, and they have been paid for. and more than paid for out of the surplus of American exports which busy American producers, made prosierous bv the enactment of the Imgley law. have sent abroad, and the increase In the amount of our iuiimrts implies merely an increase in the amount, of money which the American people have had to spend. The increase in their purchases of foreign goods Is but a fractional part of the increase in their purchases of American inadigoods. Conoernliiji the Cow.

" 'Way Down East." possibly the most successful of modern dramas because it has attracted wide at-r tention, not only in the theatrical world but from a class of people who as a rule are not disposed to look with favor upon the stae, will be at the. Gennett theater tonight, Friday, Sept. 2H. This play from the pen of Lottie Blair Parker, aided by the deft elaboration of Mr. Joseph li. drismer, has pone ar toward elevating the tone of the stare. First produced under the direction of Mr. William -V. Brady, it remained for an entire season at the Manhat tan theater, ew lork, and then arain at the Academy of Music for 427 representations. It has been visited by hundreds of clergymen, who have not hesitated to chronicle the delight it afforded them in letters of the highest commendation. The play will be given here with a great cast, superb scenery and mountings, all the mechanical effects and appurtenances so noticeable in the metropolitan production. Way Down East "is a strong presentation of moral truth, is a pure, sweet story, full of homely humor, so strongly characteristic of New England life. It is a safe prediction to state that this play will be sure to repeat the success here that has characterized its presentation elsewhere.
