THE DEMOCRATIC TRUST RECORD.

t; It will be remembered by every person old enough to vote that in 1892, as In 1902, the Democratic shibboleth was “down with the trusts, and monopolies, the creations of Republican legislation!” On that war cry Democratic leadership came to power in the white house had the capitorofi hi arch 4, 1893. It had two whole years, 24 months, 728 day§, in which to do business for the country's good. In that time it might have repealed every law on the statute books of the nation; in that time it might have replaced the old laws with new ones intended to overthrow every combination of capital which had worked injury to the people. By special arrangement we are enabled to present a full and complete list of the laws passed during that recent period of complete control for the suppression or restraint of trusts, at a time when the problem ought to have been easier of solution than now, because pretty nearly'everything else was put out of business. In connection with this list we also give a complete catalogue ol the trusts “busted” during the only Democratic administration this generation has experienced, which was elected on a specific pledge to remedy the trust evil. Here are the lists:

If Democratic leadership goes into power again it will make another record Just as long and just as Imposing. The element which controlled the Democratic party in 1902 is the same as that which had it in hand in 1892, and its issue is the same: “The way to kill the trusts is to overthrow protection"

FOREIGN PRICE BUGABOO American Tourist Says Shoes Are Dearer Abroad. Washington Post. “In a recent interview Senator Harris of Kansas named shoes as an example of American manufactured products which are sold at lower price abroad than in this country,” remarked Mr. Charles H. Bayley of Boston, who is a guest at the Arlington. “During the past summer 1 traveled extensively In Europe. 1 am especially Interested in the manufacture of shoes, and made inquiries, both on the continent and in England, concerning the prices asked for Americanmade footwear. I found that the shoes which are advertised to sell at a certain price in this country bring more In Europe than they do here. Shoes which sell here for S3.oU and are advertised at that price throughout the country sell in Germany for about $4.50. They retail for more in England. too, than they do In the 'United States. “Careful inquiry convinced me that shoes which sell l or as much as $3 in this country are retailed for from 50 cents to $1 more abroad. Senator Harris has been misinformed and should select other articles upon which to base anti trust arguments. I have watched the extension of the American shoe trade into Europe for years, and knovfr that footwear from this country has found a market abroad through merit, and that thfe manufacturers have not sold it for less than It brings at home.” •

A Sound Argument

A man who'has been a strong Democrat and party worker all his life said the other day that he was not taking any part in politics now. He said, “We‘bave prosperity all about us. We have plenty of money, and low interest and plenty of work at good prices. Everything we have to sell is a good price and how could we better it by a change?” And there are thousands of Democrats all over the country who are thinking Just that way, if they are not speaking out loud.—Shelbyville Republican.

Too Busy For. Their Own Good. Men too busy to vote in 1892 regretted that they did not devote at least one day to fthe election when the gloomy days of 1898 came on.—Orleans Progress Examiner. Look Before You Leap. Before you vote for a change, be sure you know what sort of a change you are going to get —Winamac Republican. TT Who? Who, while in power, increased our State debt? Who, while in power, Iddueed osr state debt?—Greenfield Globe.

THE BUBINESS MAN'S VITAL INTEREST IN POLITICS.

■ .. . From Senator Hanna’s Indian,* apolic Speech. There ia nothing to my mind that could happen more disastrous at thfa particular time than that the lower houae of congreaa should be turned over to a party antagonistic to oiir principles. And I want every man in the state of Indiana to take that proposition with him. I wish that I could speak to every man. I wish that I could arouse interest in the business men to know that they have, and to appreciate that they have, an equal interest in this contest; that they have a greater power and a greater influence because their example goes so far. I have often heard it claimed by friends of mine engaged in business that they were not interested in politics. Not interested In politics? Then they are not Interested in the affairs of their country, (Applause.) This is a government of political parties. One or the other must be successful when a contest comes and the only party which is successful if it expects to maintain itself in power, must adopt principles, doctrines like those of the Republican party, which will stand the test of time and attack.

DO YOU WANT TO TRY THE 1892 ACT OVER AGAIN?

“We favor such a radical and comprehensive measure of tariff reform as shall relieve the necessities of the people and the crude material of our manufacturers from federal taxation.” — Democratic State Platform, 1892. You know what the result of that policy In operation was. “We demand that tariff duties shall be levied for the purposes of revenue only.”—Democratic State Platform, 1902. You know what the result of that policy in operation would be again.

WORTH FIGHTING FOR

A thing worth fighting to get is a thing worth fighting to keep. The present prosperity of the American people is worth as much to them as an accomplished fact, as was the unrealized hope which led tg the great Republican pluralities of the past four Indiana campaigns. sf' If it was worth while to go to the polls in 1894, 1896, 1898 and 1900 that prosperity might be attained, doubly worth while is it to go to the polls in 1902 that prosperity attained may be preserved.

Don’t Take Chances.

The Democratic leaders are counting confidently on Aepublican stay-at homes at the forthcoming election to give that party a working majority in the house of representatives. Neither the Republican party nor the country at large can afford to take the chances of the calamity which such Republican Indifference and apathy implies.— Salem Repubilan Leader.

No Trouble to Do It.

Those who complain of a scarcity of laboring men and of high wages can remedy it by restoring the Democratic party to power. If farm products are too high the farmer can reduce the prices by a change from a Republican to a Democratic administration. —Columbus Republican.

No TinAe For Indifference. The present campaign is no time for political indifference. There are Ju3t as many political menaces to the business of the country now as there ever were. There is only one way to escape from them, and that la to vote them down at the polls.—College Cor ner Chronicle.

The Only Fear.

The only fear that Indiana may lose any Republican congressmen is based on the fear that over-confidence of succeaa will result in too large a stay-at-home vote that will enable the Democrats to win in some districts.— Elkhart Review. *.

A Dangerous Vote.

Any vote that will weaken the Republican legislative strength in Indiana will endanger the working majority in the United States senate and tbua block the necessary legislation to continue the present prosperity of the country.—Bcookvllle American.

A Republican Law.

Eighty thousand t.. payers hava taken advantage of the seven hundred dollar mortgage exemption law.—Steuben Reoublicaa.
