The senior senator OF Ohio
comes out frankly in favor of the
trusts. and he supports the trusts
in the interest ,of labor. Every
politician loves the laboring man!
Why this in wo know not unless it
is because he has lots of votes.
Senator Foraker seems to think
that all a wage Garner wants is
work. that he not only wants to
feed and cloth the Americans, but
will not rest content until he sends
the products Of his hand,work to
all the world. Does the senator
speak for the republican party or
for himself and Hanna. aud will

TRUSTS, TRUSTS,

|
Both old parties nrc trying to
see which can make III. most
capital ont of the trusts. The dem.
ocrnts say The republicans ARE re-
sponslble for them and the repub.
licans reply. "Yon are m other"
Both tell the truth. And Sena-
tor Foraker takes the bull by the
horns and admits it. The follow
ing is from his opening speech:
TRUSTS are not !: republican in.
sltntion, enjoyed by republicans
alone. nor d. mocrat institution
enjoyed by democrats alone, but
they ARE. composed nf democrats
and republicans alike; men of both
parties are engaged IN them and
interested in their promotion and
protection under the law. They
are simply feature O; our mod
ern business condition with re.
spect to which party lines cannot
be drawn. Accordingly we find
that not only men of all parties
are in common engaged in Great
ing great combinations of capitol,
but that men of all parties are alike
engaged in the condemnation of
such combinations. These trusts
while restricting competition, are
yet the result OF that same compe.
tition, and the natural result of
natural conditions. They first
started in England because We
were pressing the manufacturer of
that country with our competition
in the markets of the world to such
an extent that they were com PEELED
to economize in every way posi-.
bio to hold their own against us in
the marts Of trade. The sam.
cause that led to the formation of
trusts IN England afterwards led
to them in America"
The senator does not dodge the is.
sue, but boldly holds to the pr,n.
cipIe of competition that led to
trusts, as follows:
'tBy consolidation of capital,
plants and management. expenses
OF various kinds are eliminated,
aud it is made possible to con-
tinue tho em ployment of our
capital and the employment of our
labor and the development of our
resources and the multiplication OF
our wealth; by a resort to the
economies that follow consol,da.
ton We are enabled to meet the
prices Of England, Germany and
the older countries of Europe.
"These consultations mean loss
OF position and loss of en- ployment
to set classes and some individu.
ais. So did the introduction of
the sewing machine and other Ia
Dor saving devices that have been
invented; but the fact remains that
but for these consultations thous.
"nds would lose occupations who
are now employed on the produc-
ing OF surplus manufactures for
which We find markets outside
OF our own country. But for the
advantages VIC acquire by these
consultations OF capitol and, in
industry We could not be supply.

tit'on with tho bridge builders Of

where We must sell abroad or re.
