 People Can Restrain Them.
RESPECTS TO HAVEMEYER
The Sugar Trust Ring Will Not Ruri inc Republican Party by Ills Assertions - UaseSS Honest Hen Are Elected, Inc Trusts Nay Be Able to Control State Legislatures.

Washington, July 9.-Senator Chand-
 Ter always sestles vexed question with an ofhand emphasis that is re-
 frezhing. Said he today. .-Havemeyer is Q plutocratic democrat he answered
 in a single sentence the question
 whether Havcmeyers statement about
 tarif and trusts would hurt the re-
 publican party in the next election
 MT Chandler had other things to say about Havemeyer than merely calling him a plutocratie democrat. He is wiling" said the senator. that
 the republican party shall stay in power provided il protects his sugar trust. His discourse was evidently in tended as a threat against the repub- lican party. If you don't protect trusts, especially our trust. we will destroy the tariff' That sort of threat" said MT. Chandler, twill have no effect upon the republican party whatever
 Tn the first place Mir. Havemeyer is muiti-millionaire democrat, who false to his own party, cannot in 1uenee personally ten votes Neither can he influence votes by his money. He will not dare give it to Bryan, and there is no one else to whom he viii dare give it In the next place, the republican party is not afraid that anyr~ party capital can De made against the tariff on account of trusts Thesa trusts exist everywhere, all over the world, in these latter days-in free trade as well as in tariff countries"
 But the republican platform will have something to say about trusts and tarif?"
 WHAT THAT PLATFORM WILL BE.
 The republican doctrine, as it will be enunoiated at the next national convention, which will renominase
 MT. Mckinley" said Mir. Chandler. lis that it is unnecessary to destroy any industry in this country in order to retain trusts. We want homo in dustries and we don't want trusts. In order tO maintain the home indus tries We must have high tariff duties against the cheap labor and the eheao products Of foreign countries. Tase maintenance of the tariff as an Amer ican doctrine was settled beyond pre- adventure by the election of Mckinley in 1896 and the enactment of the Ding ley bill. We are not going to destroy the tariff as a means of checking trusts
 But how are you going to cheek trusts?"
 They can be restrained easily and absolutely if the people and their legislatures and congresses wish to do it by suitable laws. There can he ao huge and dangerous trusts maintained by partnership Of individuals. They can only flourish through immense corporations issuing stock and bonds. These corporations can only be created by state legislatures. and the same legislatures which create them can de- strOy them. Without completely de them a legislature can limit their functions and powers, can abso- lutely determine the business in which they shall engage and prevent them doing any other. It can fix and limit the amount of their capital stock and the bonds which they can issue. Every state legislature can thus control the corporations of its own state and with greater or equal facility can re- strain or control the corporations of other states. Congress can control or destroy the transportation trust and some others. State legislatures can do the rest Therefore, I repeat that there is not the slightest need of re- pealing the tariff duties which protect industries in order to destroy trusts in the product of those industries. Populistic democrats have raised this hue and cry against them because they would like to destroy the tariff and trusts both. Mir. Havemeyer wants to trusts and threatens to de 'troy the tariff. not sincerely, but 'nly because he wishes to force the re- publican party to maintain trusts, which it will not do''
 LAY CONTROL STATE LEGISLA-
 TURES.
 ''Is there not danger that trusts nay control state legislatures and
