Republican policy. What he does sug-
gest US remedy, tand as though 1t
were. original with HIND is the very
thing that the Republicans introduced
and tried to pass at the last session of
Congress. He says, in speech made
lat Chicago:
II am In favor Of an amendment to
the Constitution that will give to Con-
,gress the power to destroy every trust
In the country"
The Republican measure, above re-
ferred to- proposed an amendment to
the Constitution giving Congress full
power to control trusts. The bill re-
qulred a two-thIrds' vote. and It failed
to become. n law because all seven
Democratic members voted against IL.
The Democrats opposed It because II
was q Republican measure, thus keep
ing up their well-carned reputation as
obstructionists
Due to Republican Party.
All that has eyer been done to con-
troll trusts Is due to the efforts OF the
Republican party. while Bryan goes
about the country claiming that the
Republicans favor trusts.
On this subject the Mobile, Ala,
Register. Bryan Democratic paper,
truly says:
The trusts have, Been brought for
ward as a new issue. They have. /,
is said, oppressed the people, and will
Cypress them the more II the Repuhll-
cans continue in office It is inpossi-
bic TO show just where the shoe
plnches however, and this Issue cannot
be said to be wholly success"
We will now consider the records of
the two parties on the trust question.
The Democratic platform OF 1888 con-
tanned this plank on the subject:
Judged by Democratic principles.
the interests Of the people are betrayed
when, by unnecessary taxation trusts
and combinations are permitted to ex-
list, which, by unduly, enrlching the few
that combine rob the body OF our cit
izens by depriving them, OF the bene-
fits Of natural competition"
No remedy has been proposed, nor
was n promise made to overcome the
evil If the party was succcssful' at the
polls. The Republican platform OF the
same year. however. said:
Remedy Recommended.
