Severe penalties Tor violation OF law:
(al By>forfeiture of charter. fine and
imprisonment. (b) BY Impeachment,
fine and Imprisonment or all public
officials whose duty ii may be To en-
force the law and who fail to perform
that duty.
Suggestions: We would advise many
petitions to congress to pass remedial
legislation along the lines above sug-
gested. We ask the members of our
body to secure state legislation not in
conflict with national laws but suited
to the peculiar requirements of their
respective states. One of the greatest
evidence of trusts is their power to
control elections and corrupt officials.
This can be remedied by educating the
people. Meanwhile we must control
by the strong arm of authority. One
principle worthy of consideration has
been thus stated.
Whenever monopolies are based up
on the acquisition of nearly the entire
supply of natural treasures of any sort
or upon exclusive ownership of raw
material of any kind. government
ownership of the source of supply is
called for. The National Grange of the
Patrons of Husbandry plegeS its best
efforts for the SuppressionS of such
dangerous associations, and We invite
the earnest cooperation OF every liOer-
ty loving. self-respecting citizen of the
republic"

Springfield, O.. Nov. 23.-The ma

sion in this city during the past week.
will adjourn sine die this afternoon.
Important in Yesterdays proceedings
were the reports of the committees on
trust" and the merchant marine. both
of which Were adopted. The trust COM
mittee'S report was as follows:
The national grange express their
approval of the address of our worthy
master, Aaron Jones, regarding trusts,
and demand the enactment by congress
of such laws as will protect the peo-
pie against all combinations of men
and capital inimical TO public policy.
Grange Defines Its Position.
I'VE are not opposed to associations
OF interests which merely lessen the
cost of production. but we are decided
" opposed to the misuse of the power
which large combinations of capital
give for the purpose of destroying
competition. controlling production and
arbitrarily debating prices of cOmmO-
dities. Associations as opposed to leg
iSlation are one thing; combinations as
opposed to isolation is another. We
are opposed to all corporations or
trusts which control the source of sup
pany reach out their arms and en-
brace all competition. Special favors
are granted them by railroads, thus
enabling them to underSell and force
10 the wall the smaller dealers who
might otherwise compete with them.
Creed Must BE Controlled.
= I'VE encourage the investment of
capital in every branch of legitimate
industry. and demand fair play. The
construction of the Erie canal bene-
fitted the farmer. Competition has re-
duced the price of transportation in
New York 50 per cent. during the past
twenty-five years. The expansion of
our territory and commerce tends to
increase the number of capitalized as
Sociations. The greed and SelfshneSS
which too often actuate men has be-
come an element of danger and must
be controlled. 1t must be made impOs-
Sible for So-called trusts to accumulate
millions by selling watered stock add
ing to the wealth of the country.
