Another Trust Nobody Would See
Dissolved.
LET me give you another aud simpler
example OF the trust. There Is in ihis
country a great railway system called the
Big -Four Railroad" A great deal of %
Is IN the state 81 Indiana. aud most Of 70
ia IN that state aud in the state Of Ohio.
/ remember the time when the railroads
that formed what Is now The big -Four
Railroad system were little short. sep
arate lines. The service on ea,h Of these
lines was poor The cars We're bad The
tracks and road-bed were FAR from safe.
The passenger who wanted 10 travel any
considerable distance had to get OF IN
cars az one end OF line and get on other
cars OF another line and the ougcr b.
Travelled the more he had to do This. Hc
had 20 pay higher fare ana 10 buy many
separate tickets. The employees OF those
various lines were hess Ia number than
they nov are and We're paid smaller
wages Frequently the lines went into
the hands OF receivers and the working
men had trouble In getting their wages
a. all. A great manager combined those
lines into "a system. What Was the re-
suit? More trains. faster time, better cars,
cheaper rates and through trains You
can get on one Of that systems trains
and. without change. go TO distant points
which before required two or three
changes and two OF three tickets. The
system employs many more men than me
separate lines employed before the con
solldafion The service o. greatly improv-
I'd The convenience TO the Passenger Is
not comparison. but a contrast with
what Il used 10 b.. Therefore. there Is
more travelling more business You are
carried cheaper In palace cars, your grain
h hauled o. lower rates OF freight, more
safely aud more speedily. And So y IL
that "A great miracle is wrought. better
service and cheaper rates 20 the pubic
on the one hand. and more employment
and higher wages to the employee on the
other hand. az the same time more prone
to the stock holders who own the road
Dare Mr. Bryan say chat be would have
that system broken up into the httls com
pauies from which IL was formedt III he
dares not. he has abandoned his position
on the trust
Common sense and Justice Needed.
Ny friends. what We need Is not so
much sweeping declaration one way or che
other against the trusts OF labor or the
trusts OF capital. What We need Is com
mon sense and Justice Common sense. in
order that we may see what is just. and
the spirit OF Justice, IN order that we may
do what Is just. on MS Dying ntu hich'-
lieu. who created France, was asked what
was the secret OF his power. He answered.
some say it is cunningham ] am fox
Some say " IS courage-that ] am "a Hon.
Il is neither. The secret of my power is
told IN one word-justice-for ] have been
inst" And this IS what we need in our
hubble men who deal with the profound
problem OF combinations Of labor and
combinations Of capital and the whole
tremendous social evolution Of which these
are "A part
