DEPEW SURE OF THE RESULT.
BACK FROM A TOUR OF THE STATE
DIssECTS BRYAN's TRUST PANACEA.

Senator Chauncey NJ. Depew, after three weeks
OF hard campaigning. returned this city yester-
day. Mr. Depew in the last ten days of his trip
made lo2 speeches in forty-three counties OF the
State. Everywhere he met large and enthusiastic
crowds. He looked bright and cheerful when seen
last night and said that in the forty years OF his
political activity he had never enjoyed a campaign
30 much as he did this New issues were
to the front" said Mr. Depew. "and the old stand
bys of the last quarter of century passed
over for the and burning questions of the
day, and 1 enjoyed every minute OF it,
After seeing and talking with leaders from all
over the State. Mr. Depew said:
l make the following, prediction: Mckinley will
Ty to GIVE The Fa0mn with n P % G
and the difference will be McKinley's majority. /
State upon P, three thtngs First the Republicans
ton. Second. the sound money Democrats who
four years ago voted for Palmer and Buckner
Third the young men who are casting their ballots
Tor the first time are out for Mckinley almost to
man. The state is all right. 1t will be
Bryan has said in this State | have crossed his
track Bryan's great appeal in this State was
says that he does not favor Constitutional
ssm amer to regulate trusts Now, the United
tons of State corporation cannot be hampered in
another State Now Mr. Bryan s9ng INTO b
idea of Constitutional amendment offers two
remedies In the first place he says he will have
law passed that will compel corporations to take
out license, and he will see that no corporation
gets a license If that corporation is of q trust
character. Now, If such law passed ii would
be worthless and unconstitutional owing to e.rul-
ing OF the Supreme Court. No corporation woull
take out license. and If the corporation was Inter
fered with 1t would fall back upon the ruling of the
Supreme Court. Now. Mr.. Bryan either knows this
or he does not If he does, then he is Offering a
fraudulent remedy, and wilfully misleading peo61e
II he does not. then he shows ignorance of con-
stitutional law that units him for the Presidency
-, In the second place. Mr.. Bryan is free trader
he says that If a trust Is organized he win have
the duty upon the goods II manufactures taken off
Let US see. Mr.. Bryan holds up as shining yam
pies two so-called trusts The first is the Standard
Oh Company. This company imports nothing
hence this remedy would have no effect uDon II
Next Is the Sugar Trust On sugar there Is no
heavy impost on the material Last Vrintar
Mr. HaVemeyer made several visits TO Washinptor
and urged Congress to take the duty off sfyer
Why? Because OF this duty three hundred tbon
sand farmers have found II profitable raise heets
for the manufacture of sugar If the duty is taken
off raw sugar IT would be no longer proItahI 80
raise these beets: Mr.. Havemeyer cannot control
these three hundred thousand farmers hut n he
could get the duty taken off of raw sugar he could
drive these farmers of business and add az 00n
600 year to the profits of the Sugar Trust Mr.
Bryan promulgated this theory just at the time he
spoke in Madison Square Garden at a meeting pre-
sided over by Edward NJ. Shepard counsel for the
sugar Trust L wonder If Mr. Shepard helped him
mould his panacea for breaking up trusts? w
