THE titles AND THE TRUSTS.

The Richmond Times has
not abated its work for the
trusts, and continues TO
bolster up these gigantic
evils 10 the great surprise of
It's readers. We have seen
The Times posing as a great
ballot reformer.t Then our
contemporary left the Demo
cratic nominee and heparty
TO support an un-American
idea-gOld recommendation.
We heard The Times thun-
dering against the invulner-
able armOr of the Chicago
Democracy. We then hoped
and believed our able con
temporary had gone as far
IS il could possibly go. but
imagine our surprise when we
next behold 1t championing
the cause OF the trust. than
which no other greater evil
exists.
There l. no greater evil
than the trust because il
strikes at the very fountain
head OF national growth-in-
dividual effort and endeavor.
The prevailing high tariff
since the war has created
hundreds ofmillionaires, who.
combining against the indi-
Vidual. make him bow the
knee or crush him for daring
10 do business alone. where
merit wins It's Just reward.
The trust l. dangerous be-
cause IL tends toward autoc-
racy. They may cheaper an
article to-day, but by so do
ing they crush opposition
and competition. and may
double the price Of the same
article tomorrow. So weare
IN the grasp Of heartless cor
pOratiOns. while they GO on
grinding the poor till they
fall in despair.
Let The Times 90 on de.
tending the trusts and the
combines and the monopo
lies. But the day is coming
when the laws OF the LAND
Will be enforced and the bleed
ers OF the poor and helples,
viii be put 10 confusion
Right viii prevail.
