wise than injurious
Though Congress has attempted to
deal with this matter by Legislation the
laws passed for that purpose thus far
have proved ineffective, not because
of any lack Of dispoeition or attempt to
enforce them, but simply because the
laws themselves as interpreted by tho
courts do not reach the difficulty. II
the insuliiciencies of existing laws can
be remedied by further Legislation il
should be done. The fact must he
recognized. however, that all Feder.l
legislation on this subject may fall
short of it's purpose because of inheren.
obstacles and also because of the com
plex character of our governmental
system.
Which while making the Federal
authority supreme within its sphere,
has carefully limited that sphere by
metes and bounds which cannot be
transgressed. The decision Of our
highest court on this precise question
renders it quite doubtful whether the
evils of trusts and monopolies can DO
adequately treated through Federal
action, unless they seek directly and
purposely to include in their objects
transportation or intercourse between
States or between the United States
| and foreign countries
II does not fbllow, however, that this
is the limit of the remedy that may be
applied. Even though 1t may be found
that Federal authority ia not broad
\ enough to fully roach the case there
can be no doubt OF the power of the
several States to act effectively In the
premises and there should be no reason
| to doubt their willingness to judic.
ously exercise such power. In conclud-
ing this communication IFS last words
shall be an appeal TO the Congress for
| the most rigid economy of the ex-
penditure Of the money it holds in
trust for the people. Tho way to
! perplexing extravagance is easy but
return to frugality is difficult.
When, however, 1t is considered that
those who bear the burdens of taxa
ton have no guaranty of honest care
save in the fidelity of their public SER
wants. tho duty Of all possible re.
trenchment is plainly manifest. When
our differences are forgotten and our
contests of political opinion are no
longer remembered nothing in the ret
respect of our public service will be as
fortunate and comforting as the reool-
lection of official duty well performed
and the memory of constant devotion
to the interests of our confding fellow
countrymen. Grover Cleveland.
