Peoria Herald Transcript.-In-
cidentally the Iowa republicans,
in placing themselves on record
and in line with public thought
in regard to trusts, deal q
formidable blow at the republican
principle of protection. In the
declaration in regard to trusts the
platform says that Industry and
commerce should be left to pursue
their methods according to the
natural laws of the world" That
may be considered a Knockout
blow to the doctrine of protection
to special interests in defiance Of
the natural laws of the world. II
