II Is familiar phrase that commerce
does not begin until production ehus anu

that this principle VIII influence inc az
elsion OF the courts Thereiore iet us aHun
don all pretense OF dealing with the articles
untn the voyage from State to state Is
entered upon This is the point at which
We can strike with emphasis and un-
doubted power.
The trusts care not as long as we pass
statutes which they can put into chancery
by years OF litigation. What they rear
what they intend to defeat, what they have
heretofore defeated, is a law which VIII
use the clear and certain power OF con
eress and hit them full In the face by

have strengthened since the Sherman act
was frs, loveled IN idle show. They are
constantly taking in more victims ana
tributaries. and every day that We make
delay the work OF awakening public senti-
ment and applying the remedy becomes
more difficult.
Every public man claims % be the foe OF
poole sad trusts. Now, II this be 90, why
not vote for something which viii bring
of on one pretext or another .he enact

vitality necessary for a struggle with these

all such propositions until they are mean

This Is Just what has been heretofore
done in dealing with this great question,
and this Is what. It seems to me, some
gentlemen will continue to do. For evasire
votes given here they will compensate their
constituents by loud voices OF hostility 10
these public enemies OF free commerce. 1t
is mocRery for us to find fault with the
legislature Of the States or the courts or
executive officers OF the Union until we
have used IN manly fashion the power
plainly vested in us.
Tho truth can be told in 4 single line;
The nnumerable trusts OF this country
now live by our liberation. The present
refuge and reliance Of these wicked forces
IS IA the nonacton or impotent action Of

and populists who will vote to pass this

The democrats ans pDpulists and silver

this amendment. Hence its fate rests with
the other side

republican caucus has decided that there
