THE OFFICE TRUST.

active and vgilant, in collision with
certain corporate trusts and combines
having great interests and much power

discovered from his high position has
long been suspected and by none more
than the people themselves. who have
felt that not only had they already lost
control of public affairs, but that they
were ceasing 10 he the main factor

his back on the people: becomes in
