ocratic Congress this Fall. Not only would the election of a Republican majority in the next congress probably again secure Immunity for the trusts to continue plundering the people, as has been the case under Republican control during the past six years, but would likewise be followed by renewed, and, in all probability, successful efforts to push through the Hanna ship subsidy bill to raid the public treasury of $9,000,000 per annnm for a period of thirty years for the benefit of the big Morgan ship trust. If the people want legislation enacted to restrain or regulate the plundering trusts, and the looting of the federal treasury to the amount of 270,000,000 by the multi million-aires of the ship trust, they should arouse themselves and bring about a change in the political complexion of the next congress.

In the past six years, backed and supported by the Republican party, the trusts have grown to huge proportions, and nothing has been done by the party to curb their rapacity. It is true they pretend to be opposed to them in their platform, but not a law has been passed in that time to stop their ravages upon the public. With the power in every branch of the government in the hands of the Republican party to pass laws, nothing has been done. Promises are of no force so long as no laws are passed to enforce them.

The nomination of ex-Governor Pattison for a third term has been indorsed with great enthusiasm hy all the Democratic newspapers of the State. This was to have been expected.

The Independent lie publican press of the State, while conceding the tempting character of the Cousin Penny-packer bait landed under their noses by Senator Quay, bear strong testimony to the character and fitness of both Pattison and Guthrie.
