with the statement that trusts are SUI
perior to the will of the people, that
they cannot be abolished, but must be
regulated
IF trusts are a benefit to industry,
trade and commerce, let them alone; If
they are harmful, prohibit them. The
voters may have the trusts if they want
them, and they can rid the country OF
them If they do not want them. This
is no monarchy; it is still a government
of, by and for the people. Elect men
to make and execute the laws who have
no sympathy with the trusts, or the
laws that make them profitable, and
they Will be destroyed, provided there
are no supreme courts to nullify these
laws after they are made.
Laws must be enacted to make
trusts, multi illionaires and tramps
impossible in this land of liberty, vast
undeveloped resources and compare
lively limited population.
In the demand for federal license
ton to the people. This scheme must
be repudiated, with all the powers the
people can command. If once adopted
it will prove as disastrous as the ancient
Egyptian law licensing thugs to go
forth to rob, only taking care to divide
the plumber with the ruling classes We
have the Sherman antitrust law now
on our statute books; it's provisions are
ample to bankrupt and destroy almost
every trust in existence in the United
States, but it is nullified by an admin
istration in power that is the Subservi-
ent creature of these monopolies, an ad-
ministration whose every member of the
cabinet is a member or notorious pro-
mOter of one or more trusts, an admin
istration that is the father of many
laws that make these concerns possible.
There must be no federal or state
license of the trusts; they must be abOl-
ished- Change the laws that create and
nurse these trusts and we will be rid
of them.
THE leading cause for trusts, the trust
of all trusts, is the money trust.
Ever since the civil war, a handful
of money conspirators have been COM
passing the absolute control of the
blood of industry, trade and commerce,
the money. They we'll know that who
ever can control the volume of money
of a country can control the wealth of
that country. One by one this small
coterie of men has brought the other
they are now about enacting the law
placing this country under the ban and
blight of the single gold standard. The
only thing these pirates fear is the free
dom OF the people and their action at
the ballot box Radical wrongs require
radical measures to right them The
people have blindly followed party lead
ers and party spirit until they are op-
pressed on every hand by commercial
and industrial free hooters.
But God willing, the sovereign peo-
pie will right these wrongs, and that
right speedily, for in their ability and
determination to do this is the power
of the people to enjoy the right to life,
liberty and the pursuit of happiness. AS
lover of my country and of home, I
beg the men of this nation to arise to
the great occasion confronting us and
vote not as blind partisans, but as in
telligent patriots; then will the people
rise superior to monopoly and trusts"
