trusts this is really measure drawn in
their interests"
I'VE have just heard FROM Tammany
Hail." observed Mr.. Ray of New York,
when Mr.. Cummings took his seat. I'VE
heard from the same organization last
night when l offered some remarks about
the New York Ice Trust which were alb
stracted from the records of the House
by another member of that organization"
Name himp came from the Democrat
ic side.
''rhe gentleman from New York, Mr..
Sulzer," replied Mr.. Ray.
Mr.. Sulzer denounced this statement as
false. Such statement" said he,
would not have been made except by a
trust agent and a tool of a boss such as
the gentleman from New York is
Mr.. Littlefield's Views.
Mr. Ray replied with some heat, then
yielded to Mr.. Littlefield, but Mr.. Sulzer
insisted on the last word and only sub
sided when the Speaker threatened TO
have the sergeant-at-arms take charge
of him.
Mr.. Littlefield of Maine, closed the de-
bate for the resolution. 1ndiscriminate
denunciation of combinations of capital,
he declared, was unwise. Many combina-
ticns conserved the interests of the re-
public.
Mr.. Littlefeld contrasted the records of
the two parties on the trust question, TO
show that such legislation as had been
enacted against trusts, had been placed
upon the statute books, under he auspices
of the Republican party. Republican prom
ises, he said, were never outlawed. Dem
ocratic promises were never fulfilled.
Amid much amusement he read list of
Democrats of the present House, who
voted to sidetrack the Sherman ANTITRUST
law Of 1891.
Didn't every Democrat vote for it?"
asked Mr.. Gaines of Tennessee.
Yes replied Mr.. Lttlefield, you
voted to sidetrack it, but you did not
dare vote against it when squarely con-
fronted with it.
such is the record Of the Republican
party in regard to legislation" said Mr..
Littlefield in conclusion, land such is the
record of the Republican party in en-
forcing it's legislation, such, my friends,
is the record of William ]. Bryan in con-
nection with antitrust legislation, and
such the record of William Mckinley, soon
to be candidate of the Republican party,
upon this proposed antitrust legislation.

I'VE are ready to go 10 the people in
November and to submit to their candid
common sense judgment whether the Dem
ocratic party that has proved itself in
competent to deal with this question shall
be trusted, or the Republican party If
the people of this country shall register
their verdict in accordance with the prop
ositlon that You can fool some of the
people all the time and all of the people
some of the time, but that you cannot fool
all the people oil Of the time then, when
the sun rises upon the morning that sees
William McKinley's denomination in Phil
adelphia, it will be as the sun of Auster-
litz illumined by the donors of the Re
