WE AGREE WITH MIR. BRYAN.

There was one suggestion I'm Mr. Bryan's
speech at the Chicago trust conference
which has our hearty sanction. 1t was
his proposition that there be laws. State
and National, making ct a penal onense
Tor any corporation 10 contribute TO the
campaign FUND Of any political party The
greatest danger and the only danger
which we see in these giant corporations
Is the possibility OF their controlling leg
isiation. ii is a notorious fact. lamenta-
bic fact, that some Of the Senators i'm
Congress are men who have been put
fnere through the influence Of those cor
porations ia which they owe their seat
Whenever Congress meets there is
powerful lobby with plenty Of money at
us back TO help the passage Of this bin
or that IN favor of the corporations 1t IS
an open secret that whenever the Ways
and Means Committee meets to draft a
new tariff bin. representatives. OF the cor
schedule or The other that win operate
TO protect the corporations against for
eien competition. This sort Of thing is
outrageous and a serious menace 10 our
form Of government. Il IS a great shame
that the taxing power Of the land should
be so employed as TO enable corporations
10 swell their profits at the expense of
the people at large. The long and short
Of # is that in such onactments the gov
eminent confers upon the corporations
the power to levy tax upon the people
which tax goes, not in the Golfers of the
government. but In the treasury OF the
corporations so favored.
When the campaign is going on the cor
porauon which proposes 10 ask for such
iayors at the hand Of Congress. will con-
tribute money to one party or the other
10 both parties in case Of doubt. and this
is the beginning Of he partnership. The
party organization which accepts large
contributions from corporations to its
campaign fund places itself under obliga-
ton. II Il does not indeed promise. 60 see
mat the corporation so contributing is
protected by the laws that shall be
framed. BY and by, when the election IS
over. and when Congress assemblies. the
agents Of the corporation are promptly
on the ground and they demand that Con-
gress shall carry into effect its part Of the
agreement IN other words that the goods
Tor which the corporation has paid shall
be delivered, and so the government en-
ters into full copartnership with the cor
porauons by establishing tariff schedules
such as choke of outside competition
The Times is opposed TO National laws
or 10 state laws which impede progress
and which interfere with the personal
rights Of the people, but We are. II any
thing. more opposed TO the enactment OF
laws In the interest of individuals or cor
porations. opposed 20 every species OF
class legislation which operates IN the in
terest OF some at the expense of the many
We believe that It would be greatly to
the interest OF the people and in the IN
terest OF good government If corporations
should be prohibited by law from contri-
buting 20 the campaign funds Of any
political party.

Love and Life.

Should life be all a garland
OF sweet and thorniess flowers,
Grown in a fairy far-land
OF unbeclouded hours?
All, no. let thorns together
with fragrant flowers entwine;
That so 1 prove thee whether
We share the sweets together
Ard all the thorns be mine.
Should life be all an ocean
OF rapure-Iippled tides.
Wherein IN May motion -
The south wind softly glides?
All no. let storms together
With rosy Gains combine
That so fin wild-wind weather,
As we sail on together.
Ny heart may shelter thine.
Should life be all a measure
OF golden-g irdled sound.
Wherein no briefest leisure
For minor tones be found?
All, no: let minor meanings
Amid rs music be-
That so Loves intervenings
May store all saddcr glcanings.
And share the sweets with thee.
