WE imagine that nobody will deny
that the trusts and the protective tariff
legislators have a superb opportunity to
combine to swindle the people for their
mutual benefit. Nobody will deny that
such an opportunity has never occurred
when there were men who were so strong
as to be able to resist Nobody will deny
that there is great deal Of human
nature on both sides; that the
members Of the trusts may not
be able TO resist the opportunity to
procure legislation for their benefit, that
the Legislators may not be able to resist
the temptation TO please rich and power.
