the rights of others. He said the love OF
money was the primary cause of mo-
nopoly. He would give his hearers leave
to differ with him on the further state
ment that falling prices, caused by q
rising dollar, contribted to this and in
tensified It," High tariff, he said, was
another factor in the creation of mo-
|-nopoly.
But he did not agree with the sug-
gestion that trusts could be destroyed
by putting trust articles on the free list,
because the articles could be produced
here as cheap as anywhere, and foreign
competition could not kill them. The
only way to destroy them was to clay
the ak at the root of the tree and make
monopoly impossible by law
He declared railroad rate discrimina-
tion was also a large factor in the
building up of monopolies, and this
should be prevented by law. Under our
dual government, he continued, sup
preston of trusts would depend on fed
eral and state legislation, as, without
these. corporations would turn from the
state to the projections of the govern
ment and vice versa. The state should
not only have power to regulate corpor-
ations within its limits. but to prevent
outside corporations from coming in.
Congress should have the power, even
to prohibition, of regulating Interstate
corporations. Exercise of such power
he declared, would remedy the trust
evil. Congress should pass law re-
quiring all corporations wishing to do
interstate busines to take out license,
granted on condition that it must no,
water its stock, must not monopolize
any branch of the business and make
public all it's transactions. If that is
unconstitutional the constitution should
be amended, giving congress the power
to destroy every trust in the country.
The speaker protested against the doc
trine that the trust is the outgrowth OF
natural laws. He declared 1T was the
natural outgrowth of conditions created
by man-made laws.

THE CHEROKEE SITUATION.
Cummins Candidate Carries the Pr

mares.
Cherokee, Sept 16.-The republican
primaries here yesterday resulted in a
decided victory for George w. Coburn
for the legislature over Col. Beal. Mr..
Coburn was the Cummins candidate
and carried the city precincts yester-
day, and enough of the country pre-
cincts Thursday TO give him nine votes
majority in the convention.
Special to Times-R s-Republican.
Cherokee, Sept. 16.-There is great ex-
citement in political circles and a big
fight on for member of the lower house.
Beal. the avowed Gear supporter, is
considered defeated, Coburn having car
ried the two precincts of Cherokee and
will, without doubt, carry the county by
a small margin. The railroad men are
supporting Coburn unanimously. He
favors Cummins, but will follow the di-
rections of the convention. Leading
politicians are of the opinion that the
convention will instruct for Gear,
which, it is conceded, would be Gear
victory. although Coburn has a strong
following among the delegates.
