complish the purposes above set forth by
such a law, then, assurediy, we should
not shrink from amending the constitu-
ton, so as to secure beyond peradVen-
ture the power sought.
To Enforce Anti Trust Law.
The Congress has not heretofore made
any appropriation for the better enforce
ment of the antitrust law as 1t now
stands. Very much has been done by the
department of justice in securing the en-
forcement of this law, but much more
could be done if Congress would make
special appropriation for this purpose, to
be expended under the direction OF the
Attorney General
One proposition advocated has been the
reduction of the tariff as means OF
reaching the evils of the trusts which
fall within the category l have described.
Not merely would this be wholly ineffec-
tive, but the diversion of our efforts in
such direction would mean the abandon
ment of all intelligent attempt to do
away with these evils. Many of the
largest corporations, many OF those which
should certainly be included in any pro-
per scheme of regulation, would not be
affected in the slightest degree by a
change in the tariff, save as such change
interfered with the general prosperity of
the country. The question of regulation
of the trusts stands apart from the ques-
ton of tariff revision.

CAPITAL AND LABOR.

Interest of the Public.
How to secure fair treatment alike for
labor and for capital, how to hold in check
the INSCRIPTIONS man, whether employer or
employe, without weakening individual
initiative, without hampering and cramp-
ing the industrial development Of the coun-
try, is a problem fraught with great diff
culties and one which it is Of the highest
Importance to solve on lines of sanity and
far-sighted common sense as well as of
devotion to the right. This is an era of
federation and combination. Exactly as
through corporations, and as it is a con-
slant tendency of these corporations to
grow larger, so 1t Is often necessary for
laboring men to work in declarations, and
these have become important factors Of
modern Industrial life.
Both kinds Of federation, capitalistic and
labor, can do much good, and as neces-
sary corollary they can both do evil. OPP

lions as such nor upon unions as such, for
seme Of the most far-reaching beneficent
work for our people has been accomplished
through both corporations and unions Each
must refrain from arbitrary or tyrannous
interference with the rights of others Or
gsnizcd capital and organized labor alike
should remember that in the long run the
interest of each must be brought into har-
mony with the interest of the general pub
lie: and the conduct of each must conform
to the fundamental rules of obedience to
the law, of individual freedom, and of JUS
tice and fair dealing toward all Each
should remember that in addition to power
it must strive after the realization Of
healthy, lofty, and generous ideals
