with men whom they have moulded to
their will. THESE ARE SERIOUS
CHARGES, fellow citizens, BUT THEY
are true.
The Supreme Court of the
United States reversed its own deci-
sion, in order to do the bidG 'ng of
this power, when they decided that
the income tax law was unconstitu-
tional.
Bear with me while give you some
facts that will satisfy you that the
men who control the highways of the
Republic are riding rough shod the
the Constitution and the laws, and
that they are using the highways OF
the Republic to create and maintain
trusts, monopolies and combines, in
defiance of the Constitution, and in
defiance of the laws.
In 1873, the people of Pennsylvania
adopted a constitution which pro-
vided that no railroad or common car
rier should mine or manufacture arti-
cles fer transportation over their
lines. This provision of the Constitu-
tion has been disobeyed and defied,
both in the bituminous and anthra-
cite coal regions. The railroad COM
panies have detiantly gone on. acquir-
ing hundreds of thousands of acres of
coal lands.
In 1878, Congress passed the Inter
State Commerce Law, and created an
Interstate Commerce Commission.
The Commission decided that the
rates that railroads charged on coal
for outside shippers was unjust and
unreasonable, and ordered them to be
reduced. This decision has remained
unenforced, and cannot be enforced.
The railroad officials treat the Com
mission with the same contempt that
they regard the Constitution of Penn
sylvania. For two years after the
decision of the Commission, Congress
lin 1893, by its Corlmittee) found the
rates to be fifty per cent. per ton
higher than those which the Commits.
sion had declared to be unjust and
inequitable. These facts will be
found in the Cox Case, before the
Interstate Commerce Commission,
Congress of 1893, page 1o3. The
Interstate Commerce Commission
provides for the Imprisonment in the
penitentiary of those guilty of the
crimes it covers. But no railway
president has ever been tried under
it's provisions. In the matter of the

ments, in 1878, by the railroads with
preferred shippers, on the ostensible
ground that these shippers could
equaliZe or even the cattle traffic OF
the roads. They received $l5 on every
car load of cattle shipped from the
West to New York, no matter by
whom shipped. This enabled the
eveners to monopolize the cattle
traffic, and when they had completed
the monopoly, they organized the
Dressed Beef Combination. The
report of the Committee shows that
under the influence of this combine
the price of cattle had gone steadily
down to the producers of cattle; that
in 1884 the best grade of beef cattle
sold at Chicago for S7.l5 per hundred
pounds. In January, 1889, they had
gone down to $40 per hundred
pounds. Northwestern range and
Texas cattle sold in January, 1884, at
$3.50, and in January, of 1889, at

The government of this great Repub-

this robbery of the people perpe-

or a trust creates no wealth. Wealth
can only be created by the labor of
mems hands; by the application of
brain and muscle upon the resources
OF nature. A monopoly creates no
wealth. A monopoly is a scheme
to absorb the wealth created by other
men, S labor. To illustrate. All of
the men, women and children in
America that work, work, and as a
result of that labor for one year d
certain enormous amount of wealth
is created. Now mark, the trusts
and monopolies created none of this
wealth. 1t was the labor of the peo-
pie that created it. But, if under
this system of combination, the
Standard Oil Company can come in,
and scoop out of this pile of wealth,
that the people have created, forty
or fifty millions OF dollars worth of
this wealth II ore than fair competi-
tive profit; and, if the railways of the
country, under this scheme of Joint
Traffic Associations; if the Sugar
Trust, the Beef Trust, the White
Lead Trust, the great Steel Combine,
and every one of the trusts that now
control the resources of the country,
can come in and take from this pile
OF wealth, which the people have pro-
duced, from one to two hundred mil

the time these trusts have taken
what they are able to take under this
system there is nothing left for the
people and the people who produce
this wealth are becoming poorer and
poorer as the years roll round, and all
the magnificent wealth and resources
of the country are being absorbed by
few men.
The men who control the highways
of the Republic have got up com

SECOND GAME.

The second game brought out bad
pitching by Gear and bad fielding all
around. Gear was so wild that Wilson
played under the bat nearly all the
time, but with all that he managed to
keep the hits and bases on balls pretty
well scattered. The Blues made about
as many errors as the Saints, but they
were not so costly.
In the second inning the Blues scored
four runs on a base on balls, two hits
and errors by Shugart, Preston and
Phyle. This cinched the game.
In this game Glasscock was ordered
out of the game and grounds for max
ing repeated objections to the deci-
sions of the umpire. Even then he re-
fused to leave until a policeman was
told to take him away Fricken went

KANSAS CITY, Mo-, Aug 1O.-(Spe-

line in a double-header today. The
Blues won the first game through the
good pitching of Egan, and the second
one through general good luck.
Cross pitched very fine ball for six
Innings of the first game, but in the
next the Blues found him for six hits
These, combined with two errors by
Shugart and one by Glasscock, gave
the Meaningless four runs and the
game.
The game was exciting and for the
most part well played. In the sixth
Cross got as far as third base on Sla-

Campau's long fly. The other run was
made by Preston, who beat a bunt,
