When the Dingley bill was before
congress, Mr.. Dockery ioresaw its evil
results, and be made a motion to the
effect that If any trusts or combines
should be organized under the proyis-
ions Of the bill, the president should
declare the tariff removed from the
article dealt IN by the trust or combine.
Every republican voted against Mr..
DOckery's motion. And now these same
republicans will tell you that protection
does not breed trusts and combines.
They will tell you that the republican
party does not foster and protect trusts,
and yet the record in this case, and in
ell cases Will show that it does.

inclined 10 favor trusts Of all sorts pub.
liely declared, while be was in Wash
ington q day or two ago, tha. the peo-
plsof New Jersey would not support any

his belief that his state has been bough by
the trusts. Mr.. Kesn said The annual
