HAMMERS THE TRUSTS.
Mr.. Bryan devoted almost his entire
speech at Medina to the trust cues Iiq 4ls
apd his remarks were based largely on the
foIIowing statement prepared by local
-Four years ago there were three
fo1T6ries at Medina under separate man
apement- each employing from leo to 10y
men These foundries were operated Al
through the hard times previous to 1875,
one of the foundry owners s,, ca11eo us
caIIx that if Mr.. Bryan was elected they
NOT come back after election day as the
foundry would be closed. In July, 1879
these three foundries entered the trust,
the Central Foundry company, winch mas
a monopoly in the manufacture of soil
pipes in the United States. SOU pipe
was immediately advanced to consumers
substantially 1870 per cent. Very soon
one foundry was closed, was left with
out a Waterman and has been burned,
then a second one was closed and mas
remained so about a year and is not eX-
nected 10 be run again, five months ago
the third was closed by the trust, al
though il is now claimed it will be re-
opened The village was booming and
very PROSPEROUS when the trust enter

these three foundiTes have either gone

FoRcIBLE ILLUSTRATION.
Commenting upon this statement, Mr..
1f Why s1 need A ten you people what "a
rise in the cost of product is one of
the natural things that you would ex-
pect, but why did you have to wait for
the trust to close down three factories
in your town and raise the price of pipe
in order to learn that the trust meant?
Does not the Standard Oil trust teach
you the same lesson? Does not the
sugar trust teach you tbs same lesson?
Don't you learn it from a hundred other
trusts the plumber the people at every
turn?
How can a man vote the Republican
ticket when he knows that under this
administration more trusts have been
organized than Were organized in the
previous history Of the country When
he knows the Republican party neither
denounces the trust today nor dares to
defend the trust. and when yal 90 to
the head of the Republican national com
mittee, he insults the intelligence OF the
