The Secretary ~ His HOme-Defend
ing the Mills Bill.


Secretary Of state Bayard spoke last night before
the largest political audience that was ever packed
in the Wilmington, Del, Opera House. The plat
form was filled with the leading democrats OF that
city ana state. Mr.. Bayard plunged at once into q
full and glowing account Of the growth and pros
perity OF the country In support Of the general
propagation that this country Is producing more
than its people can consume, and that therefore q
foreign market has become an absolute necessity.
From q report Of his speech In the Baltimore Sun
the following is quoted:
Of production and formation OF trusts In conse.
quence to reduce this production without reduce
Ing profits to the moneyed producers Laws had
been made for publc policy to restrict such COM
bina ions before. There was good old English law
for such restriction, and there was no doubt in
the speakers mind that such laws would have to
be made again. When it was possible to throw
1000 men out OF employment, as was done in
Brooklyn only last week, for no other reason than
deemed it necessary to keep down production 1t
was time for statesmen TO turn their attention to
trusts The speaker enumerated all the trusts in
the workingmen's wages were in danger. II this

w0rkingmen get the benefit Of the productions of
the protective tartf?

as an obstacle TO the commercial union OF these
