''I regard Mr.. BRYAN as dangerous in the
management OF trusts. If given to him, as
he would be In the management or nnance.
Unless you can strike out and strike
down, and prevent the operation or trusts
all talk about trusts would have as little
force and weight as Croker's denunciation
OF trusts; and IL you will look. Mr.. Bryan.
at your platform you VIII see that you
have declared against any power. or the
exercise Of It. which could carry into effect
any Judgment for the prevention OF the
evil
1.-The writ Of injunction is a remedial
writ-a writ not so much to punish an evil
as TO prevent the happening of a great evil.
In your studied appeal TO labor organiZa-
tions and in support of strikes, and to
strike blow at the Democratic President,
Cleveland, you have declared and COM
mitted yourself against what you term
government by Injunction. and without
the use OF that writ trusts can thrive and
people can suffer. I would as soon

REMEDY FOR TRUSTS.
''The remedy is easily TO be found when
trust is organized TO control the market
and increase prices and to oppress labor
and reduce the price of wages. 1t should be
stripped OF all protection which the gov
ernment now gives TO the raw material.
Cancel it's charter and its franchise under
the power recognized by the courts.
There is cry. too. against the dangers
of militarism. The Germans, whom it is
attempted to frighten away from sound
money, know that no such laws as are in
force in Germany would be tolerated in this
country for moment.
'And imperialism. The right to purchase
or the right to acquire by conquest, cannot
be denied, for IL is in accordance with the
doctrine of every international writer now
living or who has ever lived. The name
was invented because 1T was one that would
catch the public ear and people would go
brawling about imperialism who had not
the least conception in the world of the
meaning of the word.
What ought we do to maintain our own
self-respect and preserve the respect or
the nations who are beginning to look upon
us as a power in the world? l answer the
question in this way: Whenever you have
an ugly wolf that you are holding by the
ears TO prevent his rending you asunder,
l don't believe that the proper treatment
to bring him into subsection is to rub his
head with cologne and violet water. But
l say, punish him, even to the death, II he
will not yield. The term syndicate IS not
a word OF such ominouS import as the
newspapers seem to make of il, from the
expression used by Mr.. Olney. / can say
truly that If compelled to choose, as We
now are, between a government by such a
syndicate as Bryan, and Atlgeld, and Till
man, and men of that ilk in position to
execute the wishes of their discontented
and shiftless following 1 would flee from it
to take refuge in a syndicate that repre-
septed industry, brains and business char
acter which has enabled its members TO
acquire wealth.
"I can conclude no better than to use
the language of my old friend, the former
mayor of New York, Abram S. Hewitt, a
Democrat and chosen friend of Tilden.
whose political integrity has never been
questioned. He says: There is no longer
any room for doubt as to the course which
should be taken by men who believe in
true Democracy and desire to preserve its
principles for the benefit of those who are
to come after We are compelled by
every consideration of honor, OF duty and
of interest to repudiate Bryanism and all
that it represents And to vote for Nc
Kinley and Roosevelt. And so say we
