not undertake to say whether or not
trusts as whole should be frowned
on-their theory was that special ae-
ton should govern in special cases.
As the conference differed about the
nature of trusts, so it differed about
remedies. The defenders Of trusts
said. Let them alone. They are all
right The foes said. 'smash them !"
Being questioned as to how this is to
be effected, they grew more thought,

of government license among states,

etc. He would not differentiate par
ticle rs between trusts-they are all
evil. according to his opinion. The
moderates believed that some methods
might be devised Tor curbing the evil
trusts and tolerating the good ones.
With Bourke Cochran they held that
the only way any trust or combine
could maintain itself, unless unduly
favored by government or otherwise,
was by selling its product at prices so
low as to discourage competition. They
would therefore promote all legislation
calculated to place all producers on an /

not be true that experience in the

1t has been commonly understood

pansion. Ii this is so, it cannot fail 10
have much influence on his canvass
for the Morrill, successoFship. The
Democracy has taken up anti-expan-
sion and it is likely to be the leading
issue in the next campaign. The Re
publicans will sustain the administra-
ton. 1t is very unlikely that Vermont
Republicans would send to the Senate,
OF all places. any man, however able.
who stands with the Democrats on the
leading issue. Is it possible that Mr..
Prouty hopes. in the event of a close
mix-up in the next general assembly,
to secure the support of the Democrat
ic members, who are quite likely to
hold the balance of power? This
would be an extreme measure. OF
course. but Vermont may witness
some curious things in the next year.
Ii Mr.. Prouty wishes 70 advance his
chances among Republicans, he should
hasten to remove their apprehension
that he i rather shaky on the main
question of the hour.
