"The trust is the natural outgrowth
of unnatural conditions created by
man.made laws. There are some who
would defend everything, good or bad
on the ground that it is part of des-
tiny and you cannot inquire into it.
The fact that it is proves that it
is right: the fact that it is, proves that
it has come to stay, and the most
potent argument that was ever made
in defense of vicious system was not
that it was right. and ought to stay,
but that it has come to stay, whether
Won like it or not. ! say that it is the
most potent argument that has ever
been advanced in behalf of an error
it is here, it has come to stay, what are
YOU going to do about it?

If YOU were to prove to me that mo-

still be opposed to 1t for this reason,
which to my mind overshadows all pc.
cuniary arguments: Put the industrial
system of this nation into the hands
Of a few men and let them determine
the price Of all material. let them de-
termine the price of finished products

Trusts Get the Benefit.

But / want now to read to you q
few of the advantages to be derived by
the trusts from the trust system, from
a speech made by Charles r. Flint at
Boston on the 25th day of May last,
before an audience of bankers Raw
material bought in large quantities is
secured at lower prices That is the
first advantage. One man to buy wool
for all the wooden manufacturers.
That means that every man who sells
wool must sell it at the price fixed by
this one purchaser in the United States.
The first thing is to lower the price of
raw material. The great majority of
the people are engaged in the produc-
ton of raw material and in the pur-
chase of finished products. 1t is but
comparatively few who can stand at
the head of syndicates and monopolies
and secure the profits from them.
Therefore, the first advantage of a mo-
nopoly is to lower the price of raw ma
terial furnished by the people to that
combination. Those plants which are
best equipped and most advantageous
ly situated are run continuously and in
preference to those less favored.
'"The next thing is, after you have
bought all the factories, to close some
of them and turn out of employment
the men who are engaged in them
and if you will go about over the
country you will see where people have
subscribed money to establish enter.
prises, having come under the control
of the trusts, have been closed and
stand now as silent monuments to the
wisdom of the trust system.

ber. l want to warn you that when
the monopoly has absolute control
brains will be at a discount, and rel
atives will be necessary to fill these
positions. When there is competition
every employer has to get good mar
to meet competition, but when there

Congress should Act.

But | do not think this is sufficient.
I believe in addition to state remedy
there must be a federal remedy; and /
believe congress has, or should have,
the power to place restrictions and
limitations, even to the point of prohi-
bition, upon any corporation organ
lied in one state that wants to do
business outside of the state. / say
that congress has, or should have,
power to place upon that corporation
such limitations and restrictions, even
to the point of prohibition, as may to
congress seem necessary for the pro-
lection of the public good.
Now | believe that these concur
rent remedies will reach the difficulty,
that the people of every state shall
first decide whether they want to Gre
ate corporation; that they shall, Sec
ondly, decide whether they want any
outside corporations to do business in
the state, and, if so, upon what condi-
tons; and, thirdly, that congress shall
exercise the right to place upon every
corporation doing business outside OF
the state in which it is organized such
limitations and restrictions as may be
necessary for the protection of the
public gooo.
Now. l am here to hear and to re-
ceive and to adopt any method that
anybody can propose that looks to the
humiliation of the trusts. One method
has occurred to me, and to me it seems
complete method. 1t may not com.
mend itself to you. If you have some.
thing better l shall accept it in the
place of this which l am about to sug-
gest. But the method that occurs to me
is this: That congress should pass a
law providing that no corporation or.
ganized in any state should do bust
| ness outside of the state in which ii
is organized until it receives from
| some power created by congress a H.
cense authorizing it to do business
outside Of its own state. Now, IL the
corporation must come to this body
created by congress to secure permits
| sion to do business outside the state.
then that license can be granted upon
| conditions which will, In the first
| place, prevent the watering of stock;
in the second place, will prevent mo.

Objects to Monopoly.

IF the trust will sell to man an
article for a dollar less than the article
will cost under other conditions, then
in the opinion of some that proves the
trust to be a good thing. In the first
place l deny that under a monopoly
the price will be reduced. In the Sec
ond place, if under a monopoly the
price is reduced the objections to a
monopoly from other Standpoints far
outweigh the financial advantage that
the trust would bring. But l protest
in the beginning against settling every
question upon the dollar argument.
"In 1869 Abraham Lincoln wrote a
letter to some people in Boston and in
the course of the letter he said The
Republican 3arty believes in the man
and the dollar. but in case of conflict it
believes in the man before the dollar
In the early years of his administra-
ton he sent message to congress,
and in that message he warned his
countrymen against the approach Of
monarchy And what was it that
alarmed him? He said it was the at
tempt to put capital upon an equal
foting with. if not above, labor in the
structure of government, and in that
attempt to put capital even upon an
equal footing with labor in the struc-
ture of. government he saw the ap-
proach of monarchy Lincoln was
right. Whenever you put capital upon
an equal footing with labor, or above
labor, in the structure of government
you are on the road to aid a govern
ment that rests not upon reason but
upon force.
MAN is the creature of God and
money is the creature of man. Money

BRYAN ON MONOPOLY
His Address Before the Trust Con.
ference at Central Music
Hall, Chicago.
SAYS MONOPOLY oHEAPENsBRAlNs

Declares That All Monopolies Are Evil
Would Place the Rights of Man Before
1.-THE Rights of MOney-Every Unjust Law
Is Form of Larceny, and All Toilers
Are Inseparably Related.
In addressing the conference on
trusts at Central Music Hall. Chicago,
Col. William j. Bryan spoke as fol-
lows:
"Mr. Chairman. Ladies and Gentle
men: l come this morning to discuss
In your presence a great question:
question of growing Importance to the
American people. The trust principle
is not a new principle, but the trust
principle is manifesting itself in so
many ways and the trusts have grown
so rapidly that people now feel
alarmed about trusts who did not feel
alarmed three years ago The trust
question has grown in importance, be-
cause within two years more trusts
have been organized, when we come to
consider the capitalization and the
magnitude of the interests involved,
than were organized in all the previous
history of the country, and the people
ton: Is the trust blessing or curse?
If curse. what remedy can be ap-
piled to the curse?
II want to start with the declaration
that monopoly in private hands is in
defensible from any standpoint and in
tOlerable. / make no exceptions to
the rule. / do not divide monopolies
in private hands into good monopolies
and bad monopolies. There is no good
monopoly in private hands. There can
be no good monopoly in private hands
until the Almighty sends US angels to
preside over us. There may be des-
pot who is better than another deSpot,
but there is no good despotism. One
trust may be less harmful than an
other. One trust magnate may be
more benevolent than another, but
there is no good monopoly in private
hands, and l do not believe it is safe
for society to permit any man or gorup
of men to monopolize any article of
merchandise or any branch of bust
ness.

It is said that the tea cigarette is making copquests in New York. It Is made from unkroken leaves of tea, mixed with little tea dust The com- bination is moistened, rolled and in- serted Tn paper wrapper, so that out wardly 1t looks like an ordinary cigar cite. The effects are said to be pecul- far. The smoker at first experiences a thickening sensation ln the head, and he Is afflicted with desire to sit down. This Is followed by period of intense exhililiration, which presumably, &C., counts for the habit; the third phase is nauses, and disgust for all food The beginning of recovery is marked by a yearning for tea in any form. The tea cigarette habit Is said to be peculiarly difficult to overcome, even harder than that of the tobacco variety.
