and which furnishes the evidence for
their own conviction of hypocrisy, in
sincerity and abject slavery to the
masters whom they serve The object
OF nigh protection is to prohibit outside
competition and the purpose of the
trust is to prevent inside competition.
trusts are as much the product of high
protection as diseases is the result of
filth. and the Iowa republican congress
sional delegation knew it on March 81.
1897, when they voted against the Dock
cry amendment to the Dingley bill,
winch provided for putting on the free
list all articles manufactured by a COM
plnatton seeking to limit, regulate or
control supply or price.
The Mckinley tariff laid the founda
ton for the persent trust system and
the Dingley tariff raised it about II
per cent.
IN 1880 the republican party placed
custom duties at an average of az per
cent, and In 1897 raised 1t to So per cent.
which is at least 4S per cent above for
eign competition. The sSO,00O,OO0 knit
goods trust Is protected and subsidized
with 80 per cent; the sS5, 900 900 National
Lead Company trust, with cent and
haif pound on lead; the $4,000 900
western lumber pool with two dollars
per thousand on lumber; the s12S, 900. 900
sugar trust, to which we pay $4,000. 900
tariff taxes annually; the 1915 900 900
steel trusts with 1912 per ton ON steel.
and the $50.000000 American tin plate
trust with one and one-half cents a
pound on tin plate. And thus thew run
from tooth-picks to patriotism,
A very large part of the trusts of the
country are protected in like manner,
and while all have raised the price Of
products nearly, If not quite, equal to
the tariff or competition rate, in no in
stance have the wages of labor been
correspondingly increased. The trust

labor, transforms commerce into piracy

things can be so far righted as to be
certainly and permanently eective,
rests with the sovereign citizen.
So far as am able now to determine,
the most effective way to destroy the
trusts is to remove the, at present, most
apparent cause by amending the tariff
laws and placing on the free list evry-
thing used or made or sold by trust.
That is a simple, conservative and prac-
tical policy. Its execution would not
depend upon the zeal of the attorney
general of the government or the state.
I would also have both congress and
control and taxation, each making it a
felony. punishable by both fine and
penitentiary sentence to form, conduct
or be in any manner interested in a
trust, and If after a fair trial 1t is APP
parent that trusts, corporations or other
monopolies are determined to defy the
laws made in Justice to all, / would re-
sort to the initiative and referendum
with government ownership of public
utilities. and above all and without de-
lay, would have the federal constitu-
ton so amended as to require the cleo
ton of United States senators by di-
rect vote of the people. 1t is entirely
possible that all these things will not
be fully realized by the means have
indicated, but of this 1 am certain.
The democracy, as now constituted,
recognizes that its mission as party
organization is to fight the battles of
the masses and 1t will enter upon this
conflict, not with the cloven foot of the
Iowa republican platform, but in good
faith. determined to do whatsoever
honesty of purpose and fearless effort
shall develop along lines of its accom-
plishment.
1t is not the purpose of the demo-
cratic party to wage war of exter-
mtnation against any man, men or leg
itimate interest. 1t will be in the future
as 1t has in the past at all times and
under all circumstances, as fully pro-
tect an honest and equitable organiza-
ton of capital, as it will the organiza-
ton of labor. and, in doing so, make
equal and just requirements for the
protection of each.
The democracy believes that the func-
tions of government should not be an
instrument for the oppression of any
man or class of men, and that just to
the extent that 1t is so used an injus-
tice is perpetrated in the name of law
and the powers of government prosti-
tuted. Andrew Jackson correctly stat
ed democratic doctrine when he said:
distinctions in society will always ex-
ios uAiuei EVERY JuSt government. Equal
ity of talents. of education or of wealth
cannot be produced by human institu-
tons. In the full enjoyment of the
gifts OF heaven and the fuits of superior
Industry, economy and virtue every
man is equally entitled to protection by
law" nor would we be severe, beyond
the limit of good conscience and judy
ment. But. the time has arrived when

An income tax is now, and for many

LONDON, June 27-The launching Of
Sir Thomas Lipton's cup challenger
Shamrock yesterday afternoon was at

AS the Shamrock reached midstream
from the slips barge came in collision
with her, striking the yachts bow above
the water line and making big dent.
There was a great cry when the Sham
rock struck, especially from several mem
bers of the Upton party who witnessed
the launch from the river. But it was
soon ascertained that the damage done
was slight, and as the tug towed the
yacht toward the southwest India dock
hundreds of whistles and horns made a
tremendous din.
The ceremony of launching occurred at
Millwall at o'clock
Lady Russell christened the yacht
with the customary bottle of champagne,
saying: II christen you Shamrock. God
bless you. Good luck to you. May you
bring back the cup"
Three cheers were then given, and on a
signal from Lady Russell the boat and
the cradle glded safely into the water.
After the ceremony the guests repaired
to the marquee, which was tastefully
lined with emerald green and decorated
with flowers, the Ulster Yacht club flags
