DEMOCRATIC RECORD ON THE
TRUST QUESTION.

1 NNERY line of legislation now or
- the statute books of the UniteC
L. States directed against trusts
and unlawful trade Combinat
ions was placed there by the Republic
cans.
That there is not more stringent law
against them is the fault OF the Demo
cratic party.
The last occasion on which the par.
ties, as represented in Congress, went
on record on the trust question was on
une ISt, 1900.
On that day final vote was taken on
a constitutional amendment to grant
Congress power to ''detine, regulate,
prohibit and dissolve trusts, monopolies
and combinations, whether existing in
the form Of corporations or otherwise"
1t requires a two.thirdS vote OF Con-
gress to submit Constitutional Amend
ment to the State Legislatures for ratili-
cation.
The question to so submit it was lost
by vote of I54 yeas to 1872 nays.
OF the yeas I49 were republicans and
only s were democrats. The five were
Campbell, of Montana, Naphen and
Taylor, of Massachusetts, SCudder, OF
New York, and Sibley Of Pennsylvania.
OF the 1872 nays, only two were Re-
publicans, Loud and Mccall.
Richardson, Lent, Sulzer, Rupert,
Salmon and all the other professional
''trust killers voted nay. They de-
clined to give Congress the power to
grapple with the Trusts. The Demo
Gratis INDUCED in spasms of virtue for
two days, denouncing the trusts, and
then voted to continue them.
In one of Mr.. Bryan's recent speeches
he gave the Republican remedy as the
final one he would adopt, in case he was
elected and all other means failed.
In other words Mr.. Bryan admits the
value of the Republican idea, but wants
to try other measures first. He has not
said what those measures are to be.
Some trusts operate all over the
country; others, like the New York Ice
Trust, operate in single city. The re-
quisite power to reach each and all and
bring them within the Federal law, was
denied by a margin of SO votes, all
Democratic.
Denouncng is one thing. Doing is
another. Mr.. Bryan's trust denuncia-
tons, in view OF his partys record,
promise no better than the prophecies
he made four years ago; and as a prophet
Mr.. Bryan has not succeeded.
SENATOR JONES AND THE SUGAR TRUST.
The Democrats made another brilliant
pro-trust record during the same session
of Congress. Representative Richard
son of Tennessee, Democrat, tried to
assist the Sugar Trust by offering a
Joint resolution to admit Cuban and
Porto Rican sugar free of duty.
The remission Of that duty would
have amounted to about $4,000, 900 a
year, and the Sugar Trust would have
