it was still alive. In 1888 they said the

Mr. Chairman, they say now that the
old Democratic party is dead, but In
1904 they Will again find out that the
old party is still alive, thank Cod
Cloud applause on the Democratic side
Our Republic can boast of the great
est trusts on earth. 1t is too bad we
must be constantly punished by them.
You said If the Government would pro-
teet these great corporations SO that
they could become rich 1t would enable
them to sell their goods cheaper and en-
able them TO pay more for the labor
necessary in the manufacture Of their
goods My observation has been, Mr.
Chairman, that these huge combinations
of capital get just as much as they can
for their goods and get their labor just
as cheap as they can.
This is human nature, anyway. Men
do not pay wages according to their abiI-
ity to pay. Most men get all they can
in this world. The Iaboring man is not
fooled by this argument any longer. He
knows that he must look out for himself.
and he is wise when he does 1t. The
trusts have outgrown our country. They
tell us they want the weird for their
market. If so, it is only fair that they
should have the world TO compete with
These things cannot endure always
Unless the conscience of the Republic
has become paralyzed, there must be-
there will be. change. We have the
right on our side. and in the end the
right will win 1t is not right to shoot
down men who are entitled to freedom
just as much as we are. 1t is not right
TO allow laws to endure which permit
individuals and corporations TO charge
us more for their products than they do
foreigners. If anything in the world is
wrong, these tnlngS are wrong. III there
is ever a change, 1t must be, 1t will be,
wrought by the Democratic party.
1t may be of interest to You Republi-
cans to know that in the year 1904 you
VIII be confronted by united Demo
cratic party. and nobody knows BETTE
than you what that means (Applause
on the Democratic side.) Hoist your
banner. II the truth shall be written
upon II. your motto should be this:
slavery or death TO the F'ilipinos; pro-
lection for the trusts at home" Upon
ours shall be: Freedom for the Fill
pino; equal and exact justice TO all men;
equal opportunity TO every citizen, State
and section" and upon this issue, Mr.
Chairman. with confidence we shall APP
peal to the sense of right of the Ameri-
can people. cloud applause on the

worse than foreigners treat us. All that
We ask Is that we be put upon an equali-
ty with the heather. (Applause on the
Democratic side.)
Now, for the edification of our Repub-
lican friends, should like to read from
e declaration of their convention You
would never hear anything about this,
Mr.. Chairman, IL some gentleman did not
read it.: but ] find in the Republican
platform OF the wear 1900 these words:
We recognize the necessity and pro-
priety of honest cooperation Of capital
to meet new business conditions, and es-
pecially to extend our rapidly increasing
trade
Sounds like you might trust that, does
1t not P
but we condemn all conspiracies and
combinations intended TO restrict bust
ness, to create monopolies, TO limit pro-
duction, or to control prices.
Nobody, Mr.. Chairman, would ever
have known this last was in the Repub-
lean platform, except by referring ia
the original document. applause on
the Democratic side)
Now, this amendment which l should
like to see tested, 1t seems 10 ne Is above
criticism, even from r Republican
STANDPOINT. OF course. as a good Demo
crat, / say il does not go far enough. It
puts in the hands of your President the
power to suspend the duty upon articles
which come in competition with articles
of American manufacture sold cheaper
abroad than they are at home.
These monopolies have become so alb
solute and so tyrannical that they fix
their price according to competition.
Where the competition Is small the price
is high, and where the competition is
great the price is lower. Our people at
home are absolutely at their mercy. Tie
law Of supply and demand is abolished,
and in order to aid these combinations
TO Cypress the people more effectively
the Republican party has surrounded
this country with 2 tariff wall which
shuts off competition from every other
part of the universe.
There is nothing complex about the
proposition to put these articles On the
free list. 1t does not require the Presi-
Gent to determine whether any particu-
lar corporation is trust or not. 1t does
not require him TO ascertain whether two
or more persons have conspired together
to regulate prices. There is no difficult
ty about it. There is no legal obstacle
in the way. There need be 10 fear OF

Congressional Record February 49,
Mr.. Little. l now yield to the gentle
man from North Carolina. Mr.. Pou.
Mr.. Pou Mr.. Chairman, the time al
lotted for the discussion OF measures in
this House is so exceedingly short that |
count 1t a matter for congratulation that
/ have been able TO secure few mo-
ments during which to discuss propo-
stion which believe to be of great i'm
portance to the American people.
The plan of the majority on this floor
is rather peculiar. Important measures
are allowed bat a few hours of discus
zion. Unimportant measures are given
ample time. This is certainty al evil
dence of great boldness upon the part Of
the majority The more unimportant q
measure is, my observation has boon, the
more time there is allowed for It's dis
eussion. But measures affecting the
