NO SPECIAL PRIVILEGES.

We are opposed to the granting OF spe-
cial privileges To such combinations by
any branch of the government whether
in nation, state or municipality, as has
been done under Democratic rule In the
city OF New York.
We direct attention 10 the fact that
while the power OF Congress TO deal with
this subject is lmit~ss the only effect
i've national legislation against such
trusts or combinations WAS enacted by a
Republican Congress, signed by
Republican president and has been sue
cessfully invoked by a Republican admin
istration I'm several instances for the dis
solutions OF combinations organized
TO control transportation charges and In
restraint OF trade.
ave further direct attention to the fact
that the laws of Massachusetts, enacted
by Republican legislatures require such
publicity in the management OF corpora
tions and impose such penalties as to af-
ford the best protection.
The result of this campaign must be the
maintenance or the overthrow of the
prosperity now enjoyed by the American
people. This prosperity is i'm large meas
ure due to the enactment i'm accordance
with the pledges of the Republican party
OF tariff legislation for the protection of
American industries and OF currency leg
