The next plank of this Democratic plat.
form is as big a falsehood as the first is
folly. Il charges that trusts, about which
we hear so much, and in SO many Of which
the Democratic leaders Of the country are
interested, are the direct product, 'legiti.
mate product believe It SAYS. Of our pres.
emit tariff system say that i not true.
Every intelligent newspaper-reading man
knows that there is not word of truth in
Il. Ths tariff has nothing whatsoever to do
with trusts Every INTELLIGENT man knows
that trusts originated in free trade England.
They had trusts In England long before we
ever heard Of them IN America We got
them in America only by bringing them
from there here.
It Is in England that trusts have grown to
their most gigantic and their most offensive
proportions. There they have trusts in al.
most everything; thew have iron trusts, coal
trusts, salt trusts, bread trusts, clothing
trusts, and even colin trusts--trusts on
everything man wears and eats while he
lives, and then trust after that on the
wooden box in which he must be buried
when he dies. That is the condition of
things In England They have some other
trusts, too. They have some trusts In brew.
cries IN England, and last night received
paper by mail that gives me prospectus of
one of these brewery trust organizations. !
want to read you briefly from the prospec-
tus, in order that l may show you fiot only
that they have trusts in England, but that
they are recognized and protected by law.
This prospectus sets forth that q company
with capital of 500, 900 has been organized
for the purpose Of buying the Mt. Vernon
brewery, situated lin Washington City,
U. g. A.
The first object 1t discloses is as follows:
ITO acquire the good will, business and un.
dertaking known as The Mt Vernon Brew
cry situated in tho city Of Washington, in
the District OF Columbia, United States Of
America" Then they pass on, enumerating
the second, third, fourth, Rfth and sixth OBJ
jects, and come to the seventh; and I want
to read that carefully to you. It is as fol-
lows. The object now Of this corporation
chartered in Eagland is to buy the breweriss
in the United States. It says, seventh;
The seventh object Is "To enter into part.
nership, or into any arrangement for shar-
ing profits, union of interests, reciprocal
concession or cooperation with any person
or company carrying on, or about to carry
on, any business in the United States OF
