Public notice from The Sun detailing second class matter status rates for city and outside city delivery, carrier delivery charges, advertising rates, and directions to contact the business manager and editor. Includes office address 125 East Ohio Street Indianapolis Indiana and telephone contact.
The Sun argues coal miners in Pennsylvania are paid no cash for years of labor under company contracts. It labels anthracite region work as slavery, citing contracts that place earnings with the employer and long, unrewarded periods of toil. The piece warns that victory by operators would disgrace the nation and outrages humanity.
The Independent Voter column argues the voter should act in November to safeguard welfare and resist imperialistic and militaristic rhetoric. It criticizes Bryan, Burke, free silver, and Marion county Republican bosses as harmful to labor, farmers, and merchants.
The piece critiques Beveridge and Bryan on Porto Rican tariff policy, arguing the so called compromise imposed a tariff. It condemns Republican explanations as flimsy and accuses political figures of hollow rhetoric and misdirection. The author calls for competent leadership and criticizes mayoral and foreign policy stances.
A partisan column rebukes a Toronto era press critique. It argues Count Tolstoi faces excommunication yet remains spiritually unmoved while condemning Indiana politics and a recent grade crossing accident. The piece likens figures from Lincoln to McKinley and Bryan, urging scrutiny of Hanna and Postmaster General Smith.
The coal trust states it will concede nothing and will not obey Pennsylvania laws. Bill boards compare unfavorably to the Tower of Babel, continuing a rash display of defiance.
Albert Jeffries of Gunnison county told Fish Commissioner Johnson in Denver of a remarkable escape and reunion. After rain swelled ponds the 10 000 trout escaped over the head gate, wandered six miles, and followed Jeffries back to the pond, recognizing him by his light corduroy suit. The return totaled near 10 600 fish, illustrating potential state gains from hatchery practices.
The Jeddo Pennsylvania contract shows miners agreeing to deductions from wages to pay various accounts including merchandise, rent, and coal expenses. The document authorizes G B Markle & Co to transfer or deduct wages to settle prior and future debts, with the signer acknowledging the settlement and power to cover future bills. The text references a court discussion on interstate commerce and antitrust implications, noting the impact of contracts restraining trade and the need for enforcement against monopolies.
A critical review questions Griggs letter of March 24 1899 alleging that manufacturing monopolies fall outside federal jurisdiction. It argues the cited United States vs E C Knight case reflected only Pennsylvania refinery actions, not the broader sugar trust, and that interstate commerce was not directly affected by the shown combination. The piece notes omissions about foreign sugar sourcing and national distribution that skew the decision’s scope.
The sugar and pipe trust cases are cited to show Congress may regulate interstate commerce including production tied to distribution. The 1899 Supreme Court decision held injunctions could target shipments and out-of-state sales while reserving some manufacturing rights within a state. The ruling underscores federal authority over interstate commerce in complex industrial conspiracies.
Contending editorials mock the prohibitionist presidential candidate’s westward tour and portray other leaders reacting to third party bids. Commentary parries questions about Chinese appointments, family health excuses, and Bryan’s Philippine policy, implying political maneuvering and government formation debates.
Philadelphia Call critiques Bryan noting that his two propositions conflict and undermine each other in a discussion of governance without consent of the governed.
The fragment recalls poems about a young girl and dreamlike scenes with singing and fairy imagery. A comic aside features a puzzled talk between a child and adult about a pawn shop diamond and a bookshop salary, followed by remarks on language and hunger.
A short balled tale opens with a witty exchange then a swift turn as the Englishman knocks the youth aside. The Sage of Hawville notes patrons pay high for art, and the youth sails forth to pursue fame through skill and name. The page then shifts to state press items and political commentary on coal strikes and party lines.
A reader letter argues that both parties bear responsibility for trusts, noting that the sugar and coal trusts grew under a Democratic Congress and blaming Cleveland's administration for the trust problem now facing the country. One of Parry's men signs the note.
A collection of critical editorials notes that Mr. Hanna claims no trusts exist under the law while critics argue the law itself is vague. The Detroit Free Press and Detroit News quote varied reactions including calls for renewed stump speeches and taunting remarks about Hanna's political tact. Philadelphia papers echo similar sentiment noting rhetoric over substance and reflection on his statements.
