lican governor there, and SO there Ia no |
Joe trust there now. daughter. We
have a Democratic attorney general,
and when he LEAR in May that there
was an ice trust in Omaha, he COM
menced suit against it, and on the
first day of August he compelled the
Toe trust to dissolve, and there is no
ice trust there now, but they don't do
that way in New York with Republic
can governor.
The Republicans have no plan for
destroying the trusts, We have. 1t is
TO put on the free list every trust made
article, aud then the corporations will
not have the inspiration that they row
have to combine. and charge high
prices here, while they sell abroad at
low prices in competition with the
world. That is the first remedy, and
that will protect you from extortion,
hut that is not enough. think there
is something worse than extortion in
trust. I'think the worse thing about
q trust is that it destroys the indiy idnal
independence Of the citizen. 1t destroys
industrial independence. IT hastens
the day u industrial despotism and L
hate trust because 1t closes the door
OF opportunity against your boy and
my boy, and condemns them to per

to say that there are good trusts and

monarchy in the same way. You could
cay, when monarch was condemned,
"Oh, well, there are good kings and
bad kings" / care not whether king
be good or bad. hate the monarchy
that produces king. CHEERS. | care
not whether trust msgnate be benevo-
lent or stingy. II hate private
monopoly that creates the trust mag
nate. l want to strike at the root Of
the trouble. want law that will
make il impossible for a corporation
organized 10 any State, TO go outside
of the State of its origin and engage ia
interstate commerce until it gets a
license from the Federal government,
and before that license in given,
want two conditions: first, that the
water shall be squeezed out OF the
stock of the corporation; second. that it
shall show that ii is not trying to
monopolize any branch of business
Squeeze the water out of the stock
You will have a 1ood for q while, but
you will have honest corporations after

favor of protecting the watered stocks
of corporations Why should labor
jrg man, even thouh he works for such
corporation, hesitate to squeeze the
water out of the stock? Why, il there
Is stock there that does not represent

the managers will cut down wages
, before they will cease to pay dividends
on their wateied stock. Squeeze the
water out Of the stock, and then pro.
, vide that this corporation must show,
: before it engages in interstate com
meroe, that 1t is going out to compete
