, pass the death OF the monster. The legis-
/ latures OF thirty States find their anti
trust bills useless. Something must be

new declaration. They demand liberty.
Liberty to buy and liberty to sell in open

stay them, the strength of monopoly can
not overpower them. On the folds of their
banner is inscribed the words, 'Equai
rights to all, exclusive privileges to none.
The plain liberty loving people OF this
country, following the example of their

to the cause, their lives, their fortunes
and their sacred honors. They will meet
without fear the trust enriched republican
hosts, and the God of justice will give
them the victory"
