Republicans Dare Not.

1t will be noticed that republican
papers and orators have been all
slong indulgipg ina lot Of general
talk about outlining trusts, though
never once outlining any specific rem
edy. They say that trusts are not a
party issue, that all parties are nstur-
ally opposed to the monopoly feature
BECAUSE monopoly hurts men Of all
politics.
Massachusetts democrats affirm that
"the monopolistic corporations of con-
solicitations Of corporations known as
trusts are wholly evil, pernicious. and
contrary to the public policy. The
remedies specified by the Massachu-
aat's democrats are-equality of rates
and prices, no railroad determinations,
the repeal of protective duties aud
other special privileges, Publicity and
supervision. Here is . plain, dehnite
and practical system of dealing with
the trusts. While democrats are de.
nouncing the evil and prescribing
cures for IL WHICH they are pledged to
apply. the republicans are indllging in
tempor,zing generalities WHICH mean
nothing.
On the eye of presidential CAM
psign in which the republicans rely
mainly on trust contributions for the
sinews of war, they dare not and will
not denounce trust monopolies as
wholly evil, pernicious and contrary
to public policy" and do not advocate
practical measures Of restraint.
