The industrial possibilities of the territory adjacent to it are enormous. The chief mineral district is in the nearby provinces of Shensi and Shansi. These mineral resources are being developed by the Pekin Syndicate, which is backed by English, Italian and Belgian capital. It is believed that the Pittsburg of the Orient will grow up In this district. A trunk line from Hankow to Pekin has been under construction for two or three years by a Belgian COMPANY.

BACKED BY THE TRUSTS. w The proposed railroad from Hankow Chung-kinis not part of the literary taste. . 13 trusts long ago recognized President Roosevelt as a dangerous foe to illegal monopolies. If the money power of the United States could have defeated Roosevelts nomination at the Chicago convention it would have has- The tened to do so. It saw, in time, that the people had set their hearts upon Roosevelt's candidacy, and, leaving the Republicans out of the case, they turned to the Democrats. In Judge Parker they found, apparently, a man of that cast of mind which tolerates questionable behavior, procrastinates decisive action, and leans to precedent so strongly as to balk advance the very man for the giant trusts to play with. When Judge Parker's speech of acceptance was read, his remarks upon the trusts were anxiously scanned by the people. Disappointment came to those who were not already awake to the actual nature of David Bennett Hill's manipulations in connection with the nomination of Parker. Wait till we see where the trust nut their money," said one wavering independent, not yet willing to give up the hope of Democratic fight upon il legal trusts. There was not long to wait It is a matter of public knowledge that the great trusts are pouring money into the Democratic campaign treasury. The tobacco trust, the sugar trust, the oil trust, the New York transportation trust, all are known to have contributed liberally to Belmont's treasure chest. These combinations of capital well know how and when to be liberal. They see in the election of Parker only protection against . a (their chief exestraightforward, courageous cutive who will enforce ' the United States laws for the control of combinations of capital and illegal monopolies. The trusts do not want Roosevelt for president. The great combinations of capital have delicate susceptibilities when it comes to their immediate or remote prospects for gain. But money cannot carry the presidential election. The certainty that the trusts are working for Parker will only send hundreds of thousands of voters to the polls to cast their ballots for Roosevelt Their own employes will vote against the candidate of the trusts. Judge Parkers shuffling sentences about a nonexistent common law and its possible dealings with the trusts, gave the American people their first jar" as to the position of the Democratic nominee on this question. The heavy contributions of the trusts to the Parker campaign fund have completed the awakening as to the attitude of the great combinations and monopolies in their presidential election. Parker may well say, in this connection, as well as in the contemplation of most of his close associates, save me from my friends!" WANTED.
