Senator Patterson of Colorado, in a discussion of the urgent deficiency bill in the senate last Friday, declared that J. P. Morgan, Max Pam and Charles M. Schwab were as bad as J. Whitaker Wright. The prosperity the country has been ena little joying," said Mr. Patterson, "is been unexpeculiar quite peculiar. It has somewhat ampled prosperity for the rich, and circumscribed prosperity for poor. To be sure, we had bountiful crops ; nature has smiled upon the country and the husbandmen; but with what net results ? That whereas, we had comparatively few multibefore millionaires, the country is now graced not but with billiononly with of great speculaaires, who, before the era of were set tion only ordinary in, possessed wealth. With the advent of the Republican party we have bad the era of trusts, and with the era of trusts we have had an era of tremendous strikes ; we have had unexampled combinations of capital and unexampled combinations of labor. Many things that President Roosevelt has done I admire. I know of no braver act that any president has ever done than when he confronted the railroad presidents upon the one hand and the representatives of the working miners upon the other, and said to the railroad combinations, You must meet these men and reach a settlement.' I admired Mr. Roosevelt when he instituted the suit against the railroad merger and when he instituted one other suit, I believe, against the meat trust, but the performance has fallen, far short of the original promise. But it looks as though the president has ever since been doing penance for bis rash act. With 300 trusts. and over, either securing a complete monopoly of the industries in which they are engaged, or approaching to monopolies as rapidly as it is possible for them to reach it, he has contented himself with two or three civil prosecutions, ignoring ' altogether law that the one single clause in the anti-truis a terror to the trusts, and that the senator from Ohio (Mr. Foraker) is now seeking to have repealed. They deal with things a little differently in some countries. Great Britain is not much of a trust country. They have large corporate interests there and they have some great aggregations of capital engaged in the different industries. Mr. President, only a week ago last Thursday, under instructions of an English judge in London, one of the great trust promoters was convicted and sentenced to seven years in an English prison Mr. J. Whitaker Wright for offenses on all fours with the offenses of Schwab, Max Pam and Morgan in their efforts at monopolizing great branches of 18, multi-millionair- es, 4 st industry. He swindled the English people, the lords and the commons, and there was an English judge of sufficient virtue, and English law of sufficient virility,' to take him by the throat and hold him at the bar of justice while a jury of twelve men were passing upon the merits of his case. With this conviction he shuffled off this mortal coil ; he took poison and died within an hour. There would not be many .tears shed, Mr. President, if some of the great lights of the financial world, who find a habitat in the United States and operate from the great commercial centers, should seek the same end' ing and find it from the same cause. Take the billion dollar steel trust. Its victims are numbered by the thousands. The shipbuilding trust is as palpable a swindle as was ever put upon the country, and yet we find that its promotors and those who profited by it, who have had their bank accounts swelled with the stealings they took from thousands of the American people, yet live unassailed by the law, the only punishment they receive being the curses of their victims and the execrations of every honest and law-abidi- ng man and- - woman. What this country needs more than anything else is a president who is not dependent upon the great money power of the country for his election, and will not make promises under cover or otherwise for the purpose of receiving the support of the bankers, the great commercial speculators and the promot ers of trusts a president who will feel that it is as much of a crime to rob the people of $500,000,000 in the way of watered stock as it is to rob some poor man of his purse, or to steal a horse from the barn of some farmer." Senator Patterson read a dispatch stating that Governor Odell and R. L. Fox of the New York Republican state committee were holders of shipbuilding trust bonds and said: While all this is going on the machinery of the criminal law is idle. Either there is no law to reach these mammoth swindles and the law is confined in its operation to the concerns, or else the miniature power of money, the great money combinations, are able to paralyze not only the law, but the arms of those whose sworn duty it is to execute the law." f The new mayor of New York is a reformer in the social field as well as in the arena lof practical politics, is the opinion of the Denver News. Mayor McClellan does not believe that the word obey " should be used in the marriage ceremony. In officiating at a wedding at the city hall the other day he declined to impose an injunction upon the bride to obey her husband, and after joining- his second pair in wedlock he gave his reasons for ommiting the obey." He says it is obsolete, just as obsolete as the other ancient vow, With all my worldly goods I thee endow. Neither is it binding in law. It has been so Of course," decided in the English courts. said the mayor, I have no objection to the bride promising eternal obedience if she so desire, and were I requested to insert the word obey ' I would comply, but I find a remarkable unanimity of opinion the other v?ay. Mayor McCellan also does not kiss the bride. He declined to say what he would do if he were requested to bestow the official kiss. New Yorks mayor is young and handsome, and it is very likely that he will be compelled to put himself on record on the osculation question before leap year expires. get-rich-qu- ick tmmuajw u, IK1IJAV, x GWNDOPEwSS T Personal Pointers W.
