The activity OF the republican mana
gers in making preparations for the sp-
preaching political contest is unmistaka l.
bly, shown in the prosecutions against
trusts which have recently been started
in the federal courts in the various states
The party whose existence made trusts
possible and which fosters all such evils
recognizes that 1t is necessary, for cam
paign purposes, to make q pretense of
hostility TO the combinations from which
the people are suffering. The revolt of
the farmers especially against these
abuses has become so alarming that 1t is
not improbable the republican leaders
will insist on vigorous showing by ibe
federal district attorneys in the way of
threats. The Minneapolis platform will
doubtless contain some high sounding
resolutions condemnstorY Of trusts. But
these prosecutions and platform planks
are intended only TO deceive the UNIV sry
voter. The clsp-trap proceedings in the
courts will be abandoned so soon as the
election is past.
The republican organization is never
so ridiculous as when it masquerades as
the foe OF monopoly. 1t has built up
and it maintains q protective system OF
which most Of these unholy combines are
benefciaries. Its pretended opposition
to trusts is so apparent that the wonder is
anybody is deceived by such buncombe
The futile and fraudulent enactmer
known as the Sherman anti trust law was
not aimed at suppression of unlawful
combinations. but was intended purely as
campaign measure. The only eff .ctive

by democratic legislatures Its notice.
