come in contact with trust every
day in the week. The bootblacks
all have a uniform or trust agree
nent, the BARRIERS have the same

are in a trust, likewise the butcher
shops, the drug stores, the doctors,
the grocers, the banks, the lumber
manufacturers. In fact the whole
political and commercial basis of
this government, sift it as you will
and you find trust by stipulated
prices and agreements. The laws
themselves are sold at trusts prices
and the officers serve papers and
dish out blanks at prices made by

down trusts, to make it effective we
will have to pull the pillars Of the
