l.. We VIII not only reaiarm but

abating neitber iot nor title Of that

all bis wages ard which viii once
more make possible thu competition
which was supposed TO be the life Of
trade until The Republican party Gre
ated a countless brood OF trusts which
are smoking the life blood Of the great
body Of the people. In my Judgment
the best way for Congress to smash
the trusts is to place upon the Tree
list all things used or made or sold by
the trusts. Then let both Congress
and state legislatures make il a peni-
Tertiary o1euse to form, conduct or
be interested in q trust and these
cAncerons exerescenees will be lop-
ped from the body polite.

f. We viii declare in unmistakzble
language that we win pat . sudden
stop to the wicked and wanton waste
of the peoples money-which, as evil
denced by the recklessness of the
Fifty ffth Congress, amounts to prac-
teal eonfscation.
s. We will proclaim everlasting
hostility to government by the sword
and government by injunction, both
Of which are being foisted upon the
country for the benefit Of and at the
behest Of the trusts and jobbers Of
every degree.
There are plenty of good suggestions
In the foregoing observations BY Mr..
Clark. They are worthy Of earnest
consideration and they contain In
them the promise Of Democratic vic
tory next year.
