BUSINESS VS.. DEMAGOGY Il

Tho growth of corporate power In
America has been of an alarming
character unquestionably, and has at.
tracted not only tho attention OF many
State and Federal legislators, but their
persistent and enthusiastic efforts In
the wayof finding and utilizing pro,

rectiop and reformation have been
directed toward the moro prominent
corporations, railway and insurance,
aud II must be confessed in all honesty
and seriousness that these legislative
attempts to control these great and
progressive masses Of capital have
been miserable and notable failures.
While THE HERALD is first In
championing the cause of the people
