"On the trust question l sug-
gest the following propositions for
your considerations: First, the
trust is menace to the welfare
of the people of the United States,
because it creates monopoly
and gives to the few in control of
the monopoly most unlimited
power over the lives and happi-
ness of consumers, employees and
producers of raw material. Sec
ond, the president appoints the
attorney general and can, if he
desires, secure an attorney gen.
eral who will enforce the anti
trust laws. Third, the attorney
general can recommend sufficient
laws if present laws are INSULT
cient. Fourth, the attorney gen
eral can recommend an amend
ment to the constitution if the
present constitution makes it i'm
possible to eXtinguish the trusts.
Fifth, the Republican party is
powerless to eXtinguish the trusts
so long as the trusts furnish the
money to continue the Republi.
can party in power.

the Declaration OF Independence
asserts that all governments
derive their just powers from the
consent of the governed. Third,
if the declaration OF independence

and roared just as loudly as you
do. But what did you do next
day! You surrendered to the
dictates of the men who had you

bic and obscure enough to be EN-

Senator Tillman talked at some
length, concluding as follows:
eve will fight this battle in
1900 and 1904 and in 1908 and in
the ftture-slmply because We
are now industrial slaves hvlug
here year in and year out with
nothing more than a bare compe-
tence, nothing more than bare
living, and we have sworn by the
Almighty God that We will fight
along that line until the men of
the west are aroused to their in
terests and keep the gold bugs of
the ives and of the east off their
backs. We cannot afford to give
up the Chicago platform. If it
was right in 1896 it is right IN
1899. 1t will be right next year

General Finley was introduced.

Mr., Bryan was then introduced
and was given an enthusiastic
welcome. He spoke in part as
follows: In speaking in Chicago
l am embarrassed by the fact that
the advocates of the Chicago pat
form are divided into camps. 1t
is not my business to establish a
secret service in order to ascer-
tain what Democrats are most de-
voted to the principles sci forth
in the last party creed. All Chi.
cago platform Democrats look
alike to me, and instead Of trying
to drive any professed believer
in that platform out Of the party,
my aim is to so impress upon all
Democrats the Importance of the
triumph of Democratic principles
that all local differences will be
lost sight Of in the determination
to restore the government TO the
foundations laid by the fathers.

WASHINGTON. August The Navy

STRUNG tho eight-hour law that will be
OF Importance TO all laDor interests as
well as 10 government contractors. The
c0mmaadaat of the Washington Navy
Yard recently asked authority from the
Department 10 permit the contractor WHO
IS building the new gun shops I'M the yafd
To employ his workmen ten hours per
day.
In support Of this application it was
stated that during the progress Of the
work the operation Of the machinery was
% De stopped and the hoor was being
damaged by exposure to rains.
The Judge Advocate Generals Depart
ment has pointed out that the law per-
mits the employment of wOrkmen on gov
ernment works for more than eight hours
per day only iu case Of extraordinary
emergency" and then lays down a new
doctrine I'm the constructions Of this lsw
