ARE THEY IN EARNESTg
Members Of State Central Commute,

1t Is now very generally understood that
the platforms OF the two great political par.
ties next year will contain planks strongly
condemning trusts, and promising legisla-
ton that will destroy them. In his speech
In Louisville few days ago, Mr.. Bryan de.
nounced trusts in the strongest language he
could command, and insisted that the Demo
cratic platform In 1900 should contain q
vigorous denunciatlon of them. The Re
publican rarty Of Ohio, at It's convention in
Columbus on the same day, under the leader.
ship Of Senator Hanna, adopted platform
which contained plank pledging the party
to carry on war Of determination against
trusts, and congratulating the people Of the
State that 1t had already enacted anti trust
legislation OF the most drastic kind. From
the foregoing, II Is clear that one party is
not likely TO be behind the other In its efforts
to make political capital out of the senti
ment against trusts.
But are these leaders who are making such
an outcry against trusts profoundly In earn.
est, or are they simply trying to fool the PEG.
ples The time has come for fair and square
answer to this question. If they are sincere
let them tell the people how they propose
to destroy trusts Unless II lie apparent that
they see way 70 put an end to them they
will make no impression on the public
mind, They will simply lead the people
to believe that they are playing the part Of
demagogues. The people will not be fooled
by speeches and resolutions against trusts.
They must be shown not only that trusts are
a great evil, but also how they can be de-
stroyed.
